Hakim-hakim 10
1 Sesudah Abimelek meninggal, Tola anak Pua, cucu Dodo, tampil untuk menyelamatkan bangsa Israel. Dia berasal dari suku Isakar. Tempat tinggalnya di kota Samir, di perbukitan Efraim.
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 Tola memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh tiga tahun sampai dia meninggal. Lalu dia dimakamkan di Samir.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Sesudah Tola, tampillah Yair orang Gilead. Yair memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh dua tahun.
After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Yair memiliki tiga puluh anak laki-laki. Mereka masing-masing memiliki keledai tunggangan sendiri-sendiri. Setiap anak lelaki Yair juga memimpin sebuah kota di Gilead. Sampai saat kitab ini ditulis ketigapuluh kota itu disebut Permukiman Kaum Yair.
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 Kemudian Yair meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kamon.
Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Bangsa Israel kembali berbuat jahat di mata TUHAN. Mereka menyembah berbagai macam dewa Baal, dewi Astoret, serta dewa-dewa bangsa Siria, Sidon, Moab, Amon, dan Filistin. Mereka meninggalkan TUHAN dan sama sekali tidak mengabdi kepada-Nya lagi.
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 Maka TUHAN menjadi murka terhadap bangsa Israel lalu menyerahkan mereka kepada bangsa Filistin dan Amon.
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 Selama delapan belas tahun, kedua bangsa itu dengan kejam menindas orang Israel yang tinggal di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yaitu di daerah Gilead, yang dulu dikuasai oleh raja-raja bangsa Amori.
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 Bangsa Amon juga menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk menyerang suku Yehuda, Benyamin, dan Efraim, sehingga orang Israel sangat menderita.
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 Maka rakyat Israel berseru meminta tolong kepada TUHAN, “Ya Allah, kami sudah berdosa terhadap Engkau karena kami meninggalkan-Mu dan menyembah berbagai macam Baal.”
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 Jawab TUHAN, “Berkali-kali waktu kalian ditindas, Aku selalu menyelamatkan kalian, baik dari bangsa Mesir, Amori, Amon, Filistin, Sidon, Amalek, maupun Maon. Saat kalian berseru kepada-Ku, Aku melepaskan kalian dari tangan mereka.
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?
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Tetapi karena kalian sudah meninggalkan Aku dan menyembah dewa-dewa lain, Aku tidak akan menyelamatkan kalian lagi.
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Pergi dan berserulah kepada dewa-dewa yang sudah kalian pilih itu! Biarlah mereka yang menyelamatkan kalian di saat tertindas!”
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Bangsa Israel berkata lagi, “Kami sudah berdosa. Lakukanlah terhadap kami apa saja yang Engkau pandang baik, tetapi tolong selamatkan kami kali ini!”
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 Kemudian mereka membuang patung-patung dewa asing dari antara mereka dan menyembah TUHAN. TUHAN pun berbelas kasihan melihat kesengsaraan bangsa Israel.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Pada waktu itu, pasukan Amon sedang berkumpul untuk berperang melawan bangsa Israel. Mereka berkemah di Gilead, sedangkan bangsa Israel berkumpul dan berkemah di Mispa.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
18 Para pemimpin Israel dari daerah Gilead bersepakat, “Orang yang memimpin perang melawan bangsa Amon akan menjadi penguasa atas semua penduduk 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."
