Jij 10
1 Alò, apre Abimélec te fin mouri, Thola, fis a Puah a, fis a Dodo a, yon nonm Issacar, te leve pou delivre Israël. Li te rete Schamir, nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo.
After Abimelech's time, Tola, son of Puah, son of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, came on the scene to save Israel. He lived in the town of Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 Li te jije Israël pandan venn-twazan. Li te mouri e te antere Schamir.
He led Israel as a judge for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Apre li, Jaïr Galaadit la te leve pou te jije Israël pandan venn-dezan.
After Tola came Jair from Gilead, who led Israel as a judge for twenty-two years.
4 Li te gen trant fis ki te monte sou trant bourik. Konsa, yo te gen trant vil nan peyi Galaad, ke yo rele Havvoth-Jaïr jis rive jodi a.
He had thirty sons who rode thirty donkeys. They had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called the Towns of Jair.
5 Epi Jaïr te mouri e te antere Kamon.
Jair died and he was buried in Kamon.
6 Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal devan zye SENYÈ a, yo te sèvi Baal yo avèk Astarté yo, dye a Syrie yo, dye a Sidon yo, dye a Moab yo, dye a fis Ammon yo, ak dye a Filisten yo. Konsa, yo te abandone SENYÈ a e yo pa t sèvi li.
Once again the Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtoreths, as well as the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. They rejected the Lord and did not worship him.
7 Kòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te vann yo nan men a Filisten yo ak nan men a fis Ammon yo.
So the Lord became angry with Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8 Yo te aflije e te kraze fis Israël yo nan ane sa a. Pandan di-zuit ane, yo te aflije tout fis Israël ki te lòtbò Jourdain an nan Galaad nan peyi Amoreyen yo.
That year and for eighteen more years they harassed and oppressed the Israelites, all the Israelites that lived on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.
9 Fis a Ammon yo te travèse Jourdain an pou yo te kab, osi, batay avèk Juda, Benjamin, avèk lakay Éphraïm. Sa te fè gwo pwoblèm pou Israël.
The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, causing terrible trouble for Israel.
10 Konsa, fis Israël yo te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a, e te di: “Nou te peche kont Ou, paske vrèman, nou te abandone Bondye nou an pou te sèvi Baal yo.”
The Israelites cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “We have sinned against you, rejecting our God and worshiping the Baals.”
11 SENYÈ a te di a fis Israël yo: “Èske Mwen pa t delivre nou soti nan men Ejipsyen yo, Amoreyen yo, fis a Ammon yo, ak Filisten yo?
The Lord replied to the Israelites, “Didn't I save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12 Osi, lè Sidonyen yo, Amalekit yo avèk Maonit yo te oprime nou, nou te kriye fò ban Mwen, e Mwen te delivre nou soti nan men yo.
the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites? When they attacked you, and you cried out to me for help, didn't I save you from them?
13 Malgre sa, nou te abandone Mwen pou sèvi lòt dye yo. Pou sa, Mwen p ap delivre nou ankò.
But you have rejected me and worshiped other gods, so I won't save you again.
14 Ale e kriye fò a dye sila ke nou te chwazi yo. Kite yo menm delivre nou nan tan gwo twoub nou yo.”
Go and cry out for help to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
15 Fis Israël yo te di a SENYÈ a: “Nou te peche. Fè ak nou sa ki sanble bon a Ou menm; sèlman souple delivre nou jodi a.”
The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way you think you should, only please save us now!”
16 Konsa, yo te retire dye etranje sila ki te pami yo pou te sèvi SENYÈ a; epi Li pa t kab sipòte mizè Israël ankò.
So they got rid of the foreign gods they had and worshiped the Lord. And the Lord couldn't stand Israel's misery any longer.
17 Alò fis Ammon yo te rasanble; yo te fè kan Galaad. Epi fis a Israël yo te vin rasanble pou te fè kan an Mitspa.
The Ammonite armies had been called up and were camped in Gilead. The Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
18 Pèp la, chèf a Galaad yo te di: “Ki moun ki va ouvri batay la kont fis Ammon yo? Li menm, li va chèf sou tout pèp Galaad la.”
The commanders of the people of Gilead agreed among themselves, “Whoever leads the attack on the Ammonites will become ruler over everyone who lives in Gilead.”
