The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and did not serve him.
7 edo dziku ɖe wo ŋuti. Etsɔ wo dzra na Filistitɔwo kple Amonitɔwo,
The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people of Ammon.

And they shattered and oppressed the children of Israel that year. Eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

The people of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was very distressed.

The children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
11 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe nyemeɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Filistitɔwo
Jehovah said to the children of Israel, "Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the people of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 Sidontɔwo, Amalekitɔwo kple Maonitɔwo ƒe asi me oa?
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Gake miegagblẽam ɖi enuenu eye miesubɔa mawu bubuwo eya ta mibu ɖa le ŋkuta nam! Nyemagaɖe mi akpɔ o.
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Miyi miado ɣli na mawu yeye siwo mietia! Mina woaɖe mi le miaƒe xaxaɣiwo me!”
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."

The children of Israel said to Jehovah, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
16 Israelviwo trɔ le mawu bubuawo yome eye wosubɔ Yehowa ɖeɖe ko. Woƒe blanuiléle do nuxaxa na Yehowa.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.

Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
18 Gilead ƒe kplɔlawo gblɔ be, “Ame kae akplɔ míaƒe aʋakɔwo le aʋawɔwɔ kple Amonitɔwo me? Ame si akplɔ míaƒe aʋakɔwo la azu míaƒe fia!”
And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
