Mpitsara 10
1 Ary taorian’ i Abimeleka dia nitsangana hamonjy ny Isiraely Tola, zanak’ i Dodo, lehilahy avy tamin’ ny Isakara; ary mponina tao Samira any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima izy.
And there arose after Abimelech to deliver Israel Tola' the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountain of Ephraim.
2 Ary nitsara ny Isiraely telo amby roa-polo taona izy, dia maty ka nalevina tao Samira.
And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and then died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Ary nitsangana nandimby azy Jaïra Gileadita ka nitsara ny Isiraely roa amby roa-polo taona.
And after him arose Yair, the Gil'adite, and judged Israel twenty and two years;
4 Ary nanana zanakalahy telo-polo izay nitaingina zana-boriky telo-polo izy, ary izy ireo nanana tanàna telo-polo any amin’ ny tany Gileada; ary atao hoe Havota-jaïra mandraka androany ireo.
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass-colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Chavvoth-yair unto this day, which are in the land of Gil'ad.
5 Dia maty Jaïra ka nalevina tany Kamona.
And Yair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray ka nanompo ireo Bala sy Astarta sy ny andriamanitr’ i Syria sy ny andriamanitr’ i Sidona sy ny andriamanitr’ i Moaba sy ny andriamanitry ny taranak’ i Amona ary ny andriamanitry ny Filistina, dia nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka tsy nanompo Azy.
And the children of Israel repeated to do the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and they served the Be'alim, and 'Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of 'Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and they forsook the Lord, and served not him.
7 Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina sy ho eo an-tànan’ ny taranak’ i Amona Izy.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of 'Ammon.
8 Ary nampahory sy nanorotoro ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo tamin’ izany taona izany: valo ambin’ ny folo taona no nampahoriany ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, izay tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita any Gileada.
And they afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel that year; [and] for eighteen years all the children of Israel that were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Emorites, which is in Gil'ad.
9 Ary nita an’ i Jordana ny taranak’ i Amona mba hiady koa amin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina ary ny taranak’ i Efraima; ka dia nahantra indrindra ny Isiraely.
And the children of 'Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.
10 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota taminao izahay, satria efa nahafoy an’ Andriamanitray ka nanompo ireo Bala.
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Be'alim.
11 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Moa tsy efa namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana sy ny Amorita sy ny taranak’ i Amona ary ny Filistina va Aho?
And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Behold [I delivered you] from the Egyptians, and from the Emorites, from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines.
12 Ary nampahory anareo koa ny Sidoniana sy ny Amalekita ary ny Maonita, ka nitaraina tamiko ianareo, dia novonjeko tamin’ ny tànany.
And when the Zidonians, and the 'Amalekites, and the Ma'onites did oppress you, and ye cried to me, I delivered you also out of their hand.
13 Nefa ianareo nahafoy Ahy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa; koa izany kosa no tsy hamonjeko anareo intsony.
And yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods; wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14 Mandehana, ka mitaraina amin’ ireo andriamanitra efa nofidinareo; aoka ireo no hamonjy anareo amin’ ny andron’ ny fahantranareo.
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let these deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 Ary hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ i Jehovah: Efa nanota izahay; ataovy aminay izay rehetra sitrakao; kanefa mba vonjeo ihany izahay anio.
And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us entirely as it seemeth good in thy eyes; only deliver us, we pray thee, this time.
16 Dia nanary ireo andriamani-kafa tao aminy izy ka nanompo an’ i Jehovah; dia tsy nahatsindry ny fanahiny intsony Jehovah noho ny fahantran’ ny Isiraely.
And they put away the strange gods from their midst, and served the Lord; and his soul was grieved for the trouble of Israel.
17 Dia nivory ny taranak’ i Amona ka nitoby tany Gileada. Ary nivory kosa ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitoby tany Mizpa.
And the children of 'Ammon were called together, and they encamped in Gil'ad. And the children of Israel also assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Dia nifampiera ny olona, dia ireo andrianan’ i Gileada, hoe: Iza no lehilahy handeha voalohany hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona? dia ho lohany amin’ ny mponina rehetra any Gileada izy.
And the people, the princes of Gil'ad, said one to another, Whatever man it be that will begin to fight against the children of 'Ammon, shall become the head over all the inhabitants of Gil'ad.
