Atiirĩrĩri 10
1 Thuutha wa Abimeleku, mũndũ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru wetagwo Tola mũrũ wa Pua, mũrũ wa Dodo, akĩarahũka ahonokie Isiraeli. Nake agĩtũũra Shamiru, kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu.
And there arose, after Abimelech, to save Israel—Tola son of Puah son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, —and, he, used to sit in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim;
2 Agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ; agĩcooka agĩkua, na agĩthikwo kũu Shamiru.
and he judged Israel, twenty-three years, —and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Nake Tola akĩrũmĩrĩrwo nĩ Jairu wa kuuma Gileadi, ũrĩa watiirĩrĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ.
And there arose, after him, Jair the Gileadite, —and judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Jairu aarĩ na ariũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte ndigiri mĩrongo ĩtatũ. Maathaga matũũra mĩrongo ĩtatũ kũu Gileadi, marĩa nginya ũmũthĩ metagwo Havothu-Jairu.
Now he had thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had, thirty cities, —they are called Havvoth-jair, until this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Jairu akua aathikirwo kũu Kamonu.
And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Magĩtungatĩra Mabaali na Maashitorethu, na ngai cia Aramu, na ngai cia Sidoni, na ngai cia Moabi, na ngai cia Aamoni, o na ngai cia Afilisti. Na tondũ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova na matiacookire kũmũtungatĩra-rĩ,
And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, —and forsook Yahweh, and served him not.
7 akĩrakario nĩo. Akĩmaneana moko-inĩ ma Afilisti na moko-inĩ ma Aamoni,
So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, —and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon;
8 arĩa maamanyariirire na makĩmahinyĩrĩria mwaka-inĩ ũcio. Nao makĩhinyĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani kũu Gileadi, bũrũri wa Aamori, mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana.
and they enfeebled and oppressed the sons of Israel in that year, —eighteen years, did they this unto all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, that was in Gilead.
9 Ningĩ Aamoni makĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani nĩguo makarũe na andũ a Juda, na andũ a Benjamini, o na nyũmba ya Efiraimu; nakuo Isiraeli gũkĩgĩa na kĩnyariirĩko kĩnene.
And the sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan, to fight, even against Judah and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, —so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩkaĩra Jehova makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie, tũgatiganĩria Ngai witũ, tũgatungatĩra Mabaali.”
Then did the sons of Israel make outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.
11 Jehova akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Misiri na Aamori, na Aamoni, na Afilisti,
Then said Yahweh unto the sons of Israel, —Was it not, from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, [that I saved you]?
12 na Asidoni, na Aamaleki, o na Amaoni maamũhinyĩrĩirie na mũkĩngaĩra ndĩmũteithie-rĩ, githĩ ndiamũhonokirie kuuma moko-inĩ mao?
The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you, —and ye made outcry unto me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 No inyuĩ nĩmwandiganĩirie na mũgĩtungatĩra ngai ingĩ, tondũ ũcio ndigacooka kũmũhonokia o na rĩ.
Yet have, ye, forsaken me, and served other gods, —therefore will I not again save you.
14 Thiĩi mũgakaĩre ngai icio mwĩthuurĩire. Nĩimũhonokagie hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũranyamarĩka!”
Go and make outcry unto the gods whom ye have chosen, —they, must save you, in the time of your tribulation.
15 No andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩhĩtie. Ĩka na ithuĩ o ta ũrĩa ũkuona kwagĩrĩire, no rĩrĩ, twagũthaitha ũtũhonokie rĩu.”
And the sons of Israel said unto Yahweh—We have sinned, do, thou, with us, according to all that is fitting in thine eyes, —only rescue us, we beseech thee this day.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkĩeheria ngai icio cia kũngĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, na magĩtungatĩra Jehova. Nake ndangĩakirĩrĩirie rĩngĩ kuona Isiraeli makĩnyariirĩka.
And they put away the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and served Yahweh, —and his soul was impatient of the misery of Israel.
17 Rĩrĩa Aamoni meerirwo moe indo cia mbaara na makĩamba hema ciao kũu Gileadi-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩũngana na makĩamba hema ciao kũu Mizipa.
Now the sons of Ammon were called out, and they encamped in Gilead, —and the sons of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Atongoria a andũ a Gileadi makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkwambĩrĩria kũrũa na Aamoni-rĩ, ũcio nĩwe ũgũtuĩka mũnene wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Gileadi.”
Then said the people, the princes of Gilead, one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? he shall become head to all the inhabitants of Gilead.
