Uk-ukom 10

1 Kalpasan ni Abimelec, timmakder ni Tola a putot a lalaki ni Pua a putot a lalaki ni Dodo, maysa a lalaki a nagtaud iti Issacar a nagnaed idiay Samir, iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim tapno wayawayaanna ti Israel.

After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.

2 Nagserbi isuna a kas ukom iti Israel iti duapulo ket tallo a tawen. Natay isuna ket naitanem idiay Samir.

He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.

3 Simmublat kenkuana ni Jair a taga-Galaad. Nagserbi isuna a kas ukom ti Israel iti duapulo ket dua a tawen.

After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.

4 Addaan isuna iti tallopulo a putot a lallaki nga agsaksakay iti tallopulo nga asno, ken addaanda iti tallopulo a siudad, a maaw-awagan agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw iti Havot-Jair, nga adda iti daga ti Galaad.

He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.

5 Natay ni Jair ket naitanem idiay Kamon.

When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].

6 Ninayunan dagiti tattao ti Israel ti kinadakes nga inaramidda iti imatang ni Yahweh ket nagdaydayawda kadagiti Baal, kadagiti Astarot, kadagiti dios ti Aram, kadagiti dios ti Sidon, kadagiti dios ti Moab ken kadagiti dios dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ken kadagiti dios dagiti Filisteo. Tinallikudanda ni Yahweh ket saandan a nagdaydayaw kenkuana.

Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.

7 Nakapungtot ni Yahweh iti Israel, ket inyawatna ida kadagiti Filisteo ken kadagiti Ammonita, a mangparmek kadakuada.

So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.

8 Pinarmek ken pinarigatda dagiti tattao ti Israel iti dayta a tawen, ken pinarigatda iti las-ud ti sangapulo ket walo a tawen dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel nga adda iti ballasiw ti Jordan iti daga dagiti Ammoreo idiay Galaad.

In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.

9 Ket binallasiw dagiti Ammonita ti Jordan tapno makiranget iti Juda, Benjamin, ken iti balay ni Efraim, isu a nakaro ti panagsagaba ti Israel.

Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.

10 Kalpasanna, immawag dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, a kunada, “Nagbasolkami kenka, gapu ta tinallikudanmi ti Diosmi ket nagdaydayawkami kadagiti Baal.”

So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”

11 Kinuna ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Saan kadi a winayawayaankayo manipud kadagiti Egipcio, kadagiti Amorreo, kadagiti Ammonita, kadagiti Filisteo

Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups

12 ken kasta met kadagiti Sidonio? Pinarigatnakayo dagiti Amalekita ken dagiti Maonita; immawagkayo kaniak, ket winayawayaankayo manipud iti pannakabalinda.

and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.

13 Ngem tinallikudandak manen ket nagdaydayawkayo kadagiti dadduma a didiosen, Ngarud, saankon a nayonan dagiti tiempo a panangwayawayak kadakayo.

But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.

14 Mapankayo ket umawagkayo kadagiti dios a nagdaydayawanyo. Ispalendakayo koma no adda pakarigatanyo.”

You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”

15 Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, “Nagbasolkami. Aramidem kadakami no ania ti ammom a nasayaat. Ngem pangngaasim koma laeng, ispalennakami ita nga aldaw.”

But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”

16 Timmallikudda kadagiti ganggannaet a dios a tinagikuada, ket nagdaydayawda kenni Yahweh. Ket saanna a naibturan ti panagrigrigat ti Israel.

Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.

17 Kalpasanna, naguummong dagiti Ammonita ket nagkampoda idiay Galaad. Naguummong dagiti Israelita ket nagkampoda idiay Mizpa.

The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].

18 Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao ti Galaad iti tunggal maysa, “Siasino ti tao a mangirugi a makiranget kadagiti Ammonita? Isunanto ti mangidaulo kadagiti amin nga agnanaed idiay Galaad.”

The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”
