Hakim-hakim 10
1 Setelah Abimelekh meninggal, Tola anak Pua, menjadi pemimpin untuk membebaskan orang Israel. Ia adalah cucu Dodo dari suku Isakhar. Ia tinggal di Samir di daerah pegunungan Efraim.
And there arose after Abimelech to deliver Israel Tola' the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountain of Ephraim.
2 Dua puluh tiga tahun lamanya ia memimpin umat Israel, kemudian ia meninggal lalu dimakamkan di Samir.
And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and then died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Setelah Tola, Israel dipimpin oleh Yair dua puluh dua tahun lamanya. Yair berasal dari Gilead.
And after him arose Yair, the Gil'adite, and judged Israel twenty and two years;
4 Anaknya yang laki-laki ada tiga puluh orang. Mereka mempunyai tiga puluh ekor keledai tunggangan dan tiga puluh desa di daerah Gilead. Desa-desa itu masih disebut desa-desa Yair.
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass-colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Chavvoth-yair unto this day, which are in the land of Gil'ad.
5 Yair pun meninggal, dan dimakamkan di Kamon.
And Yair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Umat Israel berdosa lagi kepada TUHAN. Mereka tidak menghiraukan TUHAN dan tidak menyembah Dia lagi. Mereka menyembah dewa-dewa Baal dan Asytoret, serta dewa-dewa bangsa Siria, Sidon, Moab, Amon dan Filistin.
And the children of Israel repeated to do the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and they served the Be'alim, and '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 not him.
7 Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada umat Israel, sehingga Ia membiarkan bangsa Filistin dan bangsa Amon menguasai mereka.
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 Delapan belas tahun lamanya kedua bangsa itu menekan semua orang Israel yang tinggal di Gilead, yaitu daerah orang Amori sebelah timur Sungai Yordan. Mereka memperlakukan orang-orang Israel dengan kejam.
And they afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel that year; [and] for eighteen years all the children of Israel that were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Emorites, which is in Gil'ad.
9 Orang Amon malah menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk pergi memerangi suku Yehuda, Benyamin dan Efraim sehingga umat Israel sangat menderita.
And the children of 'Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.
10 Lalu umat Israel berseru kepada TUHAN, katanya, "Kami telah berdosa kepada-Mu, karena kami tidak menghiraukan Engkau, ya Allah kami. Kami menyembah dewa-dewa Baal."
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Be'alim.
11 TUHAN menjawab, "Dahulu kamu dijajah oleh bangsa Mesir, Amori, Amon, Filistin, Sidon, Amalek dan bangsa Maon. Lalu pada waktu itu kamu berseru meminta tolong kepada-Ku, bukan? Coba ingat, apakah Aku tidak menyelamatkan kamu dari kekuasaan mereka?
And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Behold [I delivered you] from the Egyptians, and from the Emorites, from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines.
And when the Zidonians, and the 'Amalekites, and the Ma'onites did oppress you, and ye cried to me, I delivered you also out of their hand.
13 Meskipun begitu, kamu bahkan masih juga membelakangi Aku, lalu pergi menyembah dewa-dewa. Sekarang Aku tak mau lagi membebaskan kamu.
And yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods; wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14 Pergilah saja kepada dewa-dewa yang kamu pilih itu. Berserulah kepada mereka! Biarlah mereka yang menolong pada waktu kamu dalam kesukaran."
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let these deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 Tetapi umat Israel berkata kepada TUHAN, "Kami telah berdosa, TUHAN. Lakukanlah apa saja yang Engkau kehendaki, asal Engkau menolong kami hari ini."
And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us entirely as it seemeth good in thy eyes; only deliver us, we pray thee, this time.
16 Kemudian mereka membuang semua patung berhala, lalu menyembah Allah. Maka Allah pun terharu hatinya melihat mereka dalam kesukaran.
And they put away the strange gods from their midst, and served the Lord; and his soul was grieved for the trouble of Israel.
17 Pada waktu itu tentara Amon sedang bersiap-siap untuk berperang. Mereka berkemah di Gilead. Umat Israel pun sudah berkumpul dan berkemah di Gilead.
And the children of 'Ammon were called together, and they encamped in Gil'ad. And the children of Israel also assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Di sana rakyat dan para pemimpin dari suku-suku Israel itu saling bertanya apakah ada di antara mereka yang berani mengangkat senjata melawan bangsa Amon. Orang itu akan dijadikan pemimpin seluruh penduduk Gilead.
And the people, the princes of Gil'ad, said one to another, Whatever man it be that will begin to fight against the children of 'Ammon, shall become the head over all the inhabitants of Gil'ad.
