Ndị Ikpe 10
1 Mgbe Abimelek nwụsịrị, Tola nwa Pua, nwa nwa Dodo, biliri ịzọpụta Izrel. O si nʼebo Isaka pụta. Ọ bụkwa nʼobodo Shamia ka o bi, nʼime obodo e wukwasịrị nʼelu ugwu Ifrem.
And after Abimelech, there rose up to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir on mount Ephraim.
2 O kpere Izrel ikpe iri afọ abụọ na atọ. Mgbe ọ nwụrụ, e liri ya na Shamia.
And he judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Onye ikpe ọzọ nọchiri ya bụ Jaịa, onye si Gilead pụta. O kpere Izrel ikpe iri afọ abụọ na abụọ.
And after him rose up Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 O nwere ụmụ ndị ikom iri atọ, ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ibu iri atọ. Ha nwekwara obodo iri atọ nke aka ha na Gilead, nke a na-akpọkwa Havọt Jaịa ruo taa.
And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty ass colts; and they had thirty cities, which are called the villages of Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Ma mgbe Jaịa nwụrụ, e liri ya na Kamon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Ọzọkwa, ụmụ Izrel mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ha fere chi Baal na Ashtọret, chi ndị Aram, chi ndị Saịdọn, nke ndị Moab, nke ndị Amọn, na chi ndị Filistia ofufe. Ndị Izrel hapụrụ Onyenwe anyị, ha efekwaghị ya ofufe.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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 children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and served him not.
7 Nke a mere ka Onyenwe anyị wee iwe megide ha. O nyefere ha nʼaka ndị Filistia na ndị Amọn,
And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold him into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
8 ndị mekpara ha ahụ, chie ha ọnụ nʼala. Afọ iri na asatọ ka ndị Filistia megburu ndị Izrel bi nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, nʼime ala ndị Amọrait, ya bụ na Gilead.
And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel in 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.
9 Ndị Amọn gafekwara osimiri Jọdan ibuso ndị Juda, ndị Benjamin na ndị Ifrem agha. Ihe ndị a mere ka ọnọdụ ụmụ Izrel dị nnọọ njọ nke ukwuu.
And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; and Israel was greatly distressed.
10 Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụ Izrel tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, rịọọ ya ka ọ gbapụta ha. Ha kwupụtara sị, “Anyị emehiela megide gị, anyị ahapụla gị Chineke anyị, fee arụsị Baal ofufe.”
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served the Baals.
11 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị ndị Izrel, “Mgbe ndị Ijipt, ndị Amọrait, ndị Amọn, ndị Filistia,
And Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 ndị Saịdọn, ndị Amalek na ndị Maon kpagburu unu; unu tikuru m mkpu akwa inyere unu aka, ọ bụ na m anapụtaghị unu site nʼaka ha?
The Zidonians also, and Amalek and Maon oppressed you, and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Ma unu nọgidere na-agbakụta m azụ oge niile, na-efe chi ndị ọzọ ofufe. Ya mere, gawaranụ onwe unu, agaghị m anapụtakwa unu ọzọ.
But ye have forsaken me, and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more.
14 Kpọkuonụ chi ndị ahụ bụ ndị unu họpụtaara onwe unu, ka ha zọpụta unu mgbe ọbụla nsogbu dakwasịrị unu!”
Go and cry to the gods that ye have chosen: let them save you in the time of your trouble.
15 Ma ndị Izrel sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Anyị emehiela. Mee anyị ihe ọbụla i chere dị gị mma, ma biko, zọpụta anyị taa.”
And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned. Do thou unto us according to all that is good in thy sight; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day.
16 Ha sitere nʼetiti ha wezuga chi ala ọzọ niile dị iche iche, fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe. O nweghịkwa ike nagide ọnọdụ ọjọọ ndị Izrel gaa nʼihu.
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17 Mgbe a kpọkọtara ndị Amọn maka ibu agha, ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha na Gilead, ndị Izrel zukọtakwara maa ụlọ ikwu nke ha na Mizpa.
And the children of Ammon were called together and encamped in Gilead; and the children of Israel gathered together and encamped in Mizpeh.
18 Ndị ndu obodo Gilead gwarịtara onwe ha sị, “Onye ọbụla ga-amalite agha megide ndị Amọn ga-abụ onyeisi ndị niile bi na Gilead.”
And the people, the chief men of Gilead, said one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
