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.
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 Ary nitsara ny Isiraely telo amby roa-polo taona izy, dia maty ka nalevina tao Samira.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Ary nitsangana nandimby azy Jaïra Gileadita ka nitsara ny Isiraely roa amby roa-polo taona.
After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-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.
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 Dia maty Jaïra ka nalevina tany Kamona.
Jair 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, 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 the LORD, and did not serve 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.
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 people 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 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 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.
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 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota taminao izahay, satria efa nahafoy an’ Andriamanitray ka nanompo ireo Bala.
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
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?
The LORD 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 Ary nampahory anareo koa ny Sidoniana sy ny Amalekita ary ny Maonita, ka nitaraina tamiko ianareo, dia novonjeko tamin’ ny tànany.
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Nefa ianareo nahafoy Ahy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa; koa izany kosa no tsy hamonjeko anareo intsony.
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save 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 to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Ary hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ i Jehovah: Efa nanota izahay; ataovy aminay izay rehetra sitrakao; kanefa mba vonjeo ihany izahay anio.
The children of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
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.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Dia nivory ny taranak’ i Amona ka nitoby tany Gileada. Ary nivory kosa ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitoby tany Mizpa.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at 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 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."
