Bilombe 10
1 Sima na kufa ya Abimeleki, ezalaki Tola, mwana mobali ya Puwa, mwana mobali ya Dodo, moto ya Isakari, nde atelemaki mpo na kobikisa Isalaele. Azalaki kovanda na Shamiri, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi.
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 Akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale na misato; sima na yango, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Shamiri.
and he judged Israel, twenty-three years, —and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Yairi, moto ya Galadi, akitanaki na Tola mpe akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale na mibale.
And there arose, after him, Jair the Gileadite, —and judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Azalaki na bana mibali tuku misato oyo bazalaki kotambola likolo ya ba-ane, mpe bazalaki na bamboka tuku misato kati na Galadi. Kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka yango « Bamboka ya Yairi. »
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 Yairi akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Kamone.
And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; basalelaki banzambe Bala, Asitarite, mpe banzambe ya Siri, ya Sidoni, ya Moabi, ya Amoni mpe ya Filisitia. Basundolaki Yawe mpe basalelaki Ye lisusu te.
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 Boye, kanda ya Yawe epelaki likolo ya Isalaele, mpe Yawe akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya bato ya Amoni.
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 Mibu zomi na mwambe, banyokolaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, mokili ya bato ya Amori, kati na Galadi.
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 Bato ya Amoni mpe bakatisaki na ngambo ya Yordani mpo na kobundisa libota ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ya Efrayimi. Boye, Isalaele akomaki na pasi mingi.
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 Bana ya Isalaele bagangaki epai ya Yawe: — Tosalaki masumu na miso na Yo, pamba te tosundolaki Yo, Nzambe na biso, mpe tosalelaki banzambe Bala.
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 Yawe azongiselaki bana ya Isalaele: — Boni, nabikisaki bino te na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito, ya Amori, ya Amoni mpe ya Filisitia?
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 Tango bato ya Sidoni, ya Amaleki mpe ya Maoni banyokolaki bino, boni, bogangaki epai na Ngai te mpo na kosenga lisungi? Boni, nakangolaki bino te wuta na maboko na bango?
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 Kasi bino, bosundolaki Ngai mpe bosalelaki banzambe mosusu. Yango wana, nakokangola bino lisusu te.
Yet have, ye, forsaken me, and served other gods, —therefore will I not again save you.
14 Bokende koganga epai ya banzambe oyo boponaki mpo ete ebikisa bino awa bozali kati na pasi.
Go and make outcry unto the gods whom ye have chosen, —they, must save you, in the time of your tribulation.
15 Kasi bana ya Isalaele balobaki na Yawe: — Ya solo, tosalaki lisumu na miso na Yo. Oyo omoni ete ezali malamu na miso na Yo, sala yango na biso; kasi tobondeli Yo: bikisa biso lisusu sik’oyo!
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 Bongo bana ya Isalaele balongolaki banzambe ya bapaya kati na bango mpe basalelaki Yawe. Mpe Yawe akokaki lisusu te kotala pasi na bango.
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 Tango bato ya Amoni basanganaki mpe batiaki molako na bango kati na Galadi, bana ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batiaki molako na bango kati na Mitsipa.
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 Bato mpe bakonzi ya Galadi balobanaki: « Moto oyo akobundisa liboso bana ya Amoni akozala mokonzi ya bato nyonso ya Galadi. »
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.
