Iudicum 10
1 Post Abimelech surrexit dux in Israel Thola filius Phua patrui Abimelech, vir de Issachar, qui habitavit in Samir montis Ephraim:
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 et iudicavit Israelem viginti et tribus annis, mortuusque est, ac sepultus in Samir.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Huic successit Iair Galaadites, qui iudicavit Israel per viginti et duos annos,
After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel 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.
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 Mortuusque est Iair; ac sepultus in loco, cui est vocabulum Camon.
Jair died, and was 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, 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 YHWH, and did not serve him.
7 Contra quos Dominus iratus, tradidit eos in manus Philisthiim et filiorum Ammon.
The anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people 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 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 in tantum, ut filii Ammon, Iordane transmisso, vastarent Iudam et Beniamin et Ephraim: afflictusque est Israel nimis.
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 Et clamantes ad Dominum, dixerunt: Peccavimus tibi, quia dereliquimus Dominum Deum nostrum, et servivimus Baalim.
The children of Israel cried to YHWH, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
11 Quibus locutus est Dominus: Numquid non Aegyptii et Amorrhaei, filiique Ammon et Philisthiim,
YHWH 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?
12 Sidonii quoque et Amalec et Chanaan oppresserunt vos, et clamastis ad me, et erui vos de manu eorum?
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Et tamen reliquistis me, et coluistis deos alienos: idcirco non addam ut ultra vos liberem:
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 ite, et invocate deos quos elegistis: ipsi vos liberent in tempore angustiae.
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Dixeruntque filii Israel ad Dominum: Peccavimus, redde tu nobis quidquid tibi placet: tantum nunc libera nos.
The children of Israel said to YHWH, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
16 Quae dicentes, omnia de finibus suis alienorum deorum idola proiecerunt, et servierunt Domino Deo: qui doluit super miseriis eorum.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served YHWH; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Itaque filii Ammon conclamantes in Galaad fixere tentoria: contra quos congregati filii Israel, in Maspha castrametati sunt.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at 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, 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."
