Jij 10

1 Apre Abimelèk, se Tola, pitit gason Pwa, pitit pitit gason Dodo, ki parèt pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la. Tola se moun branch fanmi Isaka. Li te rete lavil Chami nan mòn Efrayim yo.

And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,

2 Li te chèf nan peyi Izrayèl la pandan venntwazan. Apre sa, li mouri. Yo antere l' lavil Chami.

and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth, and is buried in Shamir.

3 Apre li, se Jayi, moun peyi Galarad, ki te parèt. Li gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la pandan venndezan.

And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judgeth Israel twenty and two years,

4 Li te gen trant pitit gason ki te moute trant bourik. Yo te gen trant lavil ki te rele yo pa yo nan peyi Galarad. Jouk koulye a yo rele lavil yo lavil Jayi.

and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;

5 Jayi mouri, yo antere l' lavil Kamon.

and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

6 Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo rekonmanse ankò ap fè sa ki mal nan je Bondye. Yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo, pou Astate yo, pou bondye moun peyi Siri yo, pou bondye moun peyi Sidon yo, pou bondye moun peyi Moab yo, pou bondye moun peyi Amon yo ak bondye moun peyi Filisti yo. Yo vire do bay Seyè a, yo sispann sèvi l'.

And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him;

7 Se konsa Seyè a fache sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li kite moun Filisti yo ak moun Amon yo mete pye sou kou yo.

and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the Bene-Ammon,

8 Pandan tout lanne a, moun sa yo maltrete pèp Izrayèl la, yo malmennen yo. Pandan dizwitan, yo t'ap peze tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki t'ap viv lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, sou bò solèy leve, nan peyi Galarad kote yo te rete a.

and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year — eighteen years all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.

9 Moun Amon yo te menm rive janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou y' al goumen ak moun branch Jida yo, moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo ak moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo. Pèp Izrayèl la te nan gwo lapenn.

And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress.

10 Lè sa a, yo rele nan pye Seyè a, yo di l' konsa: -Nou te peche kont ou, nou te vire do ba ou, ou menm Bondye nou an, n' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo.

And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, 'We have sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and serve the Baalim.'

11 Seyè a reponn pèp Izrayèl la: -Moun Lejip yo, moun Amori yo, moun Amon yo, moun Filisti yo,

And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, '[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines?

12 moun Sidon yo, moun Amalèk yo ak moun Mawon yo t'ap peze nou nan tan lontan, nou te kriye nan pye m'. Eske mwen pa t' delivre nou anba men yo lè sa a?

And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand;

13 Men chak fwa, nou vire do ban mwen pou n' al fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Se poutèt sa mwen pa pral delivre nou fwa sa a ankò.

and ye — ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I add not to save you.

14 Ale kriye nan pye bondye nou te chwazi yo! Se yo ki pou sove nou lè nou nan ka!

Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed; they — they save you in the time of your adversity.'

15 Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo di Seyè a: -Nou fè sa nou pa t' dwe fè: Ou mèt fè nou sa ou vle. Men, tanpri delivre nou jòdi a!

And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, 'We have sinned, do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.'

16 Apre sa, yo wete tout bondye lòt nasyon yo te gen lakay yo, yo pran sèvi Seyè a. Seyè a pa t' gen kè pou l' wè jan pèp Izrayèl la te nan lapenn.

And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.

17 Lè sa a, lame pèp Amon an sanble, y' al moute kan yo nan peyi Galarad. Lame pèp Izrayèl la menm te sanble tou, yo moute kan yo lavil Mispa.

And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.

18 Pèp peyi Galarad la ak chèf yo t'ap pale, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Moun ki pral mennen batay la kont moun Amon yo, se li menm ki pral chèf tout moun nan peyi Galarad!

And the people — heads of Gilead — say one unto another, 'Who [is] the man that doth begin to fight against the Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.'
