And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt 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.
And he judged Israel twenty and 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.
And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and 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 that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them 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 vexed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: eighteen years [oppressed they] all the children of Israel that were beyond 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 Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore 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 unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.
11 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị ndị Izrel, “Mgbe ndị Ijipt, ndị Amọrait, ndị Amọn, ndị Filistia,
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I 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 the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto 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 ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore 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 unto the gods which ye 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.”
And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; 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 the LORD: 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.
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in 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 princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
