Iudicum 10
1 Post Abimelech surrexit dux in Israel Thola filius Phua patrui Abimelech, vir de Issachar, qui habitavit in Samir montis Ephraim:
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2 et iudicavit Israelem viginti et tribus annis, mortuusque est, ac sepultus in Samir.
And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Huic successit Iair Galaadites, qui iudicavit Israel per viginti et duos annos,
And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
4 habens triginta filios sedentes super triginta pullos asinarum, et principes triginta civitatum, quæ ex nomine eius sunt appellatæ Havoth Iair, id est, oppida Iair, usque in præsentem diem in Terra Galaad.
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth–jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Mortuusque est Iair; ac sepultus in loco, cui est vocabulum Camon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6 Filii autem Israel peccatis veteribus iungentes nova, fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini, et servierunt idolis, Baalim et Astaroth, et diis Syriæ ac Sidonis et Moab et filiorum Ammon et Philisthiim: dimiseruntque Dominum, et non coluerunt eum.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yhwh, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook Yhwh, and served not him.
7 Contra quos Dominus iratus, tradidit eos in manus Philisthiim et filiorum Ammon.
And the anger of Yhwh was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
8 Afflictique sunt, et vehementer oppressi per annos decem et octo, omnes qui habitabant trans Iordanem in Terra Amorrhæi, qui est in Galaad:
And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
9 in tantum, ut filii Ammon, Iordane transmisso, vastarent Iudam et Beniamin et Ephraim: afflictusque est Israel nimis.
Moreover 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 Et clamantes ad Dominum, dixerunt: Peccavimus tibi, quia dereliquimus Dominum Deum nostrum, et servivimus Baalim.
And the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
11 Quibus locutus est Dominus: Numquid non Ægyptii et Amorrhæi, filiique Ammon et Philisthiim,
And Yhwh said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 Sidonii quoque et Amalec et Chanaan oppresserunt vos, et clamastis ad me, et erui vos de manu eorum?
The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
13 Et tamen reliquistis me, et coluistis deos alienos: idcirco non addam ut ultra vos liberem:
Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14 ite, et invocate deos quos elegistis: ipsi vos liberent in tempore angustiæ.
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 Dixeruntque filii Israel ad Dominum: Peccavimus, redde tu nobis quidquid tibi placet: tantum nunc libera nos.
And the children of Israel said unto Yhwh, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
16 Quæ dicentes, omnia de finibus suis alienorum deorum idola proiecerunt, et servierunt Domino Deo: qui doluit super miseriis eorum.
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served Yhwh: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17 Itaque filii Ammon conclamantes in Galaad fixere tentoria: contra quos congregati filii Israel, in Maspha castrametati sunt.
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
18 Dixeruntque principes Galaad singuli ad proximos suos: Qui primus ex nobis contra filios Ammon cœperit dimicare, erit dux populi Galaad.
And the people and 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.
