Mpitsara 10
1 Ie añe t’i Abimeleke, le nitroatse handrombake Israele ka t’i Tolà, ana’ i Poà, ana’ i Dodò, nte-Isakare; mpimoneñe e Samire am-bohi’ i Efraime.
Now after Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, became the saviour of Israel; he was living in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
2 Nizaka e Israele taoñe roapolo-telo’ amby re naho nihomake vaho nalenteke e Samire ao.
He was judge over Israel for twenty-three years; and at his death his body was put to rest in the earth in Shamir.
3 Ie añe, nitroatse ka t’Iaire nte Gilade le nizaka taoñe roapolo-ro’ amby.
And after him came Jair the Gileadite, who was judge over Israel for twenty-two years.
4 Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re niningitse añ’ ana-borìke telo-polo, ie aman-drova telo-polo, o atao rova’ Iaire sikala henaneo; an-tane Gilade ao irezay.
And he had thirty sons, who went on thirty young asses; and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are named Havvoth-Jair to this day.
5 Nivilasy t’Iaire vaho nalenteke e Kamone ao.
And at the death of Jair his body was put to rest in the earth in Kamon.
6 Nanao haloloañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo ie nitoroñe o Baaleo naho o Hazomangao naho o’ndrahare’ i Arameo naho o’ndrahare’ i Tsidoneo naho o ‘ndrahare’ i Moabeo naho o ‘ndraharen’ ana’ i Amoneo naho o ‘ndraharen-te-Pilistio vaho naforintse’ iareo t’Iehovà, tsy nitoroñe aze.
And again the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, worshipping the Baals and Astartes, and the gods of Aram and the gods of Zidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the children of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines; they gave up the Lord and were servants to him no longer.
7 Aa le nisolebotse am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà le natolo’e am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio, vaho am-pità’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
8 Finorekekè’ iareo naho dinemo’ iareo taoñe folo-valo’ amby o ana’ Israeleo, toe o ana’ Israele alafe’ Iordaney an-tane’ o nte-Amoreo e Giladeo.
And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.
9 Nitsaha’ o ana’ i Amoneo ka Iordaney hialy am’ Iehoda, naho amy Beniamine, naho amy anjomba’ i Efraimey, vaho vata’e nalovilovy t’Israele.
And the children of Ammon went over Jordan, to make war against Judah and Benjamin and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was in great trouble.
10 Nitoreo amy Iehovà amy zao o ana’ Israeleo, nanao ty hoe: Aman-kakeo ama’o zahay, fa niambohoa’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ay, vaho nitoroñe o Baaleo.
Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals.
11 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleo: Tsy nirombaheko amo nte-Mitsraimeo hao naho amo nte-Amoreo naho amo ana’ i Amoneo, naho amo nte-Pilistio?
And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Were not the Egyptians and the Amorites and the children of Ammon and the Philistines
12 Niforekeke’ o nte-Tsidoneo ka, naho o nte-Amalekeo, naho o nte Amoneo le nitoreova’ areo vaho rinombako am-pità’ iareo.
And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?
13 Fe niambohoa’ areo, vaho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e; izay ty tsy andrombahako anahareo.
But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer.
14 Akia koiho o ‘ndrahare jinobo’ areoo; angao handrombaha’ iareo amo hasotria’ areoo.
Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble.
15 Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà: Toe nanao hakeo zahay, ano ama’ay ze hatao’o soa; fa ehe hahao te anito.
And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.
16 Aa le nadò’ iareo añe o ‘ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ iareo ao, naho nitoroñe Iehovà; vaho niferenaiña’ ty arofo’e o nte’ Israeleo amo falovilovia’eo.
So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.
17 Kinoik’ amy zao o nte-Amoneo naho nitobe e Gilade ao. Nifanontoñe ka o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Mitspà ao.
Then the children of Ammon came together and put their army in position in Gilead. And the children of Israel came together and put their army in position in Mizpah.
18 Le hoe ty nifanaontsia’ ondatio naho o roandria’ i Giladeo: Ia mb’ arè ty hiorots’ aly amo ana’ i Amoneo? Ie ty hatao lohà’ o hene’ mpimone’ i Giladeo.
And the people of Israel said to one another, Who will be the first to make an attack on the children of Ammon? We will make him head over all Gilead.
