1 Tukun misa lal Abimelech, Tola, wen natul Puah su ma natul Dodo, el tuyak in aksukosokyela mwet Israel. El mwet in sruf lal Issachar ac el muta in acn Shamir infulan eol in Ephraim.
And there arose, after Abimelech, to save Israel—Tola son of Puah son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, —and, he, used to sit in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim;
2 El kol mwet Israel ke lusen yac longoul tolu. Na el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Shamir.
and he judged Israel, twenty-three years, —and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Tokol Tola, Jair, sie mwet Gilead, el kol mwet Israel yac longoul luo.
And there arose, after him, Jair the Gileadite, —and judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Oasr wen tolngoul natul, ac oasr donkey tolngoul natulos elos kasrusr fac. Oasr siti tolngoul selos in acn Gilead, ac siti inge srakna pangpang siti sel Jair.
Now he had thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had, thirty cities, —they are called Havvoth-jair, until this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Jair el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Kamon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Mwet Israel elos sifilpa oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD ke elos alu nu sin Baal ac Astarte, oayapa god lun mwet Syria, mwet Sidon, mwet Moab, mwet Ammon, ac mwet Philistia. Elos forla liki LEUM GOD ac tia sifil alu nu sel.
And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, —and forsook Yahweh, and served him not.
7 Na LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak sin mwet Israel, ac El eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Philistia ac mwet Ammon.
So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, —and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon;
8 Ke lusen yac singoul oalkosr mwet inge elos akkeokye ac akongoiya mwet Israel su muta in facl lun mwet Amor kutulap in Infacl Jordan in acn Gilead.
and they enfeebled and oppressed the sons of Israel in that year, —eighteen years, did they this unto all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, that was in Gilead.
9 Na mwet Ammon elos fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac mweuni pac mwet in sruf lal Judah, sruf lal Benjamin, ac sruf lal Ephraim. Ouinge mwet Israel elos muta in ongoiya lulap.
And the sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan, to fight, even against Judah and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, —so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 Mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Kut orekma koluk ye motom ke kut forla liki kom, God lasr, ac alu nu sin Baal.”
Then did the sons of Israel make outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.
11 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu selos, “Mwet Egypt, mwet Amor, mwet Ammon, mwet Philistia,
Then said Yahweh unto the sons of Israel, —Was it not, from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, [that I saved you]?
12 mwet Sidon, mwet Amalek, ac mwet Maon elos akkeokye kowos in pacl somla, ac kowos tuh wowoyak nu sik. Ya nga tuh tia molikowosla lukelos?
The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you, —and ye made outcry unto me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 A kowos tuh forla likiyu ac alu nu sin god saya. Ke ma inge, nga ac fah tia sifil moli kowos.
Yet have, ye, forsaken me, and served other gods, —therefore will I not again save you.
14 Fahla ac wowoyak nu sin god kowos sulela ingan. Lela elos in moli kowos ke pacl kowos sun ongoiya.”
Go and make outcry unto the gods whom ye have chosen, —they, must save you, in the time of your tribulation.
15 A mwet Israel elos fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Pwaye, kut orekma koluk. Oru kutena ma kom lungsum in oru nu sesr, tusruktu nunak munas, molikutla misenge.”
And the sons of Israel said unto Yahweh—We have sinned, do, thou, with us, according to all that is fitting in thine eyes, —only rescue us, we beseech thee this day.
16 Na elos sisla god lun mutunfacl saya su elos tuh alu nu se, ac elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Na El arulana pakomutalos mwet Israel, lah elos muta in ongoiya lulap.
And they put away the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and served Yahweh, —and his soul was impatient of the misery of Israel.
17 Na mwet Ammon elos akoo in mweuni mwet Israel, ac elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Gilead. Mwet Israel elos fahsreni ac muta in acn Mizpah in acn Gilead pacna.
Now the sons of Ammon were called out, and they encamped in Gilead, —and the sons of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Na mwet kol lun mwet Israel in kais sie sruf elos asiyuki sie sin sie ac fahk, “Su ac fah mwet kol lasr ke mweun se inge lain mwet Ammon? Mwet se na ma ac kol mweun se inge, el pa ac kol mwet nukewa in acn Gilead.”
Then said the people, the princes of Gilead, one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? he shall become head to all the inhabitants of Gilead.
