After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 O kpere Izrel ikpe iri afọ abụọ na atọ. Mgbe ọ nwụrụ, e liri ya na Shamia.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and 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.
After him arose Jair, the 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.
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Ma mgbe Jaịa nwụrụ, e liri ya na Kamon.
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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and did not serve him.
7 Nke a mere ka Onyenwe anyị wee iwe megide ha. O nyefere ha nʼaka ndị Filistia na ndị Amọn,
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people 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 shattered and oppressed the children of Israel 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.
The people of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was very 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.”
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
11 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị ndị Izrel, “Mgbe ndị Ijipt, ndị Amọrait, ndị Amọn, ndị Filistia,
The LORD said to the children of Israel, "Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the people 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?
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you 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.
Yet you 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 which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Ma ndị Izrel sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Anyị emehiela. Mee anyị ihe ọbụla i chere dị gị mma, ma biko, zọpụta anyị taa.”
The children of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, 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.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved with 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.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
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 leaders of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
