Iudicum 10
1 Post Abimelech surrexit dux in Israel Thola filius Phua patrui Abimelech, vir de Issachar, qui habitavit in Samir montis Ephraim:
And there rises after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,
2 et iudicavit Israelem viginti et tribus annis, mortuusque est, ac sepultus in Samir.
and he judges Israel [for] twenty-three years, and he dies, and is buried in Shamir.
3 Huic successit Iair Galaadites, qui iudicavit Israel per viginti et duos annos,
And there rises Jair the Gileadite after him, and he judges Israel [for] twenty-two years,
4 habens triginta filios sedentes super triginta pullos asinarum, et principes triginta civitatum, quae ex nomine eius sunt appellatae Avoth Iair, id est, oppida Iair, usque in praesentem diem in Terra Galaad.
and he has thirty sons riding on thirty donkey-colts, and they have thirty cities (they call them Havoth-Jair to this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;
5 Mortuusque est Iair; ac sepultus in loco, cui est vocabulum Camon.
and Jair dies, and is buried in Kamon.
6 Filii autem Israel peccatis veteribus iungentes nova, fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini, et servierunt idolis, Baalim et Astaroth, et diis Syriae ac Sidonis et Moab et filiorum Ammon et Philisthiim: dimiseruntque Dominum, et non coluerunt eum.
And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake YHWH, and have not served Him;
7 Contra quos Dominus iratus, tradidit eos in manus Philisthiim et filiorum Ammon.
and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He sells them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon,
8 Afflictique sunt, et vehementer oppressi per annos decem et octo, omnes qui habitabant trans Iordanem in Terra Amorrhaei, quae est in Galaad:
and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year; [and for] eighteen years—all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.
9 in tantum, ut filii Ammon, Iordane transmisso, vastarent Iudam et Beniamin et Ephraim: afflictusque est Israel nimis.
And the sons of Ammon pass over the Jordan to also fight against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel has great distress.
10 Et clamantes ad Dominum, dixerunt: Peccavimus tibi, quia dereliquimus Dominum Deum nostrum, et servivimus Baalim.
And the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, saying, “We have sinned against You, because we have even forsaken our God, and serve the Ba‘alim.”
11 Quibus locutus est Dominus: Numquid non Aegyptii et Amorrhaei, filiique Ammon et Philisthiim,
And YHWH says to the sons of Israel, “[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the sons 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?
And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and you cry to Me, and I save you out of their hand;
13 Et tamen reliquistis me, et coluistis deos alienos: idcirco non addam ut ultra vos liberem:
and you have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I do not add to save you.
14 ite, et invocate deos quos elegistis: ipsi vos liberent in tempore angustiae.
Go and cry to the gods on which you have fixed; they save 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 sons of Israel say to YHWH, “We have sinned, do to us according to all that is good in Your eyes; only please deliver us this day.”
16 Quae dicentes, omnia de finibus suis alienorum deorum idola proiecerunt, et servierunt Domino Deo: qui doluit super miseriis eorum.
And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve YHWH, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Itaque filii Ammon conclamantes in Galaad fixere tentoria: contra quos congregati filii Israel, in Maspha castrametati sunt.
And the sons of Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.
18 Dixeruntque principes Galaad singuli ad proximos suos: Qui primus ex nobis contra filios Ammon coeperit dimicare, erit dux populi Galaad.
And the people—heads of Gilead—say to one another, “Who [is] the man that begins to fight against the sons of Ammon? He is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.”
