Κριταί 10
1 καὶ ἀνέστη μετὰ Αβιμελεχ τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν Ισραηλ Θωλα υἱὸς Φουα υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Ισσαχαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ᾤκει ἐν Σαμιρ ἐν ὄρει Εφραιμ
After Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:
2 καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμιρ
And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died and was buried in Samir.
3 καὶ ἀνέστη μετ’ αὐτὸν Ιαϊρ ὁ Γαλααδ καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι δύο ἔτη
To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years.
4 καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο υἱοὶ ἐπιβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τριάκοντα δύο πώλους καὶ τριάκοντα δύο πόλεις αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὰς ἐπαύλεις Ιαϊρ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἐν γῇ Γαλααδ
Having thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day in the land of Galaad.
5 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ιαϊρ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ραμνων
And Jair died: and was buried in the place which was called Camon.
6 καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τοῖς Βααλιμ καὶ ταῖς Ασταρωθ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Αραδ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Σιδῶνος καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Μωαβ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν κύριον καὶ οὐκ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτῷ
But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and of the children of Ammon and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ υἱῶν Αμμων
And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and of the children of Ammon.
8 καὶ ἔθλιψαν καὶ ἔθλασαν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ δέκα ὀκτὼ ἔτη τοὺς πάντας υἱοὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐν γῇ τοῦ Αμορρι τοῦ ἐν Γαλααδ
And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad:
9 καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων τὸν Ιορδάνην παρατάξασθαι πρὸς Ιουδαν καὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ πρὸς Εφραιμ καὶ ἐθλίβη Ισραηλ σφόδρα
Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly.
10 καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον λέγοντες ἡμάρτομέν σοι ὅτι ἐγκατελίπομεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐδουλεύσαμεν τῷ Βααλιμ
And they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served Baalim.
11 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ μὴ οὐχὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ ἀπὸ Φυλιστιιμ
And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,
12 καὶ Σιδωνίων καὶ Αμαληκ καὶ Μαδιαμ οἳ ἔθλιψαν ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐβοήσατε πρός με καὶ ἔσωσα ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν
The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
13 καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με καὶ ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἑτέροις διὰ τοῦτο οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σῶσαι ὑμᾶς
And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
14 πορεύεσθε καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τοὺς θεούς οὓς ἐξελέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ σωσάτωσαν ὑμᾶς ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ὑμῶν
Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.
15 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον ἡμάρτομεν ποίησον σὺ ἡμῖν κατὰ πᾶν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου πλὴν ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ
And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
16 καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τῷ κυρίῳ μόνῳ καὶ ὠλιγώθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν κόπῳ Ισραηλ
And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries.
17 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Γαλααδ καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ σκοπιᾷ
And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together and camped in Maspha.
18 καὶ εἶπον ὁ λαὸς οἱ ἄρχοντες Γαλααδ ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τίς ὁ ἀνήρ ὅστις ἂν ἄρξηται παρατάξασθαι πρὸς υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἄρχοντα πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Γαλααδ
And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad.
