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.
After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived 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 judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Ie añe, nitroatse ka t’Iaire nte Gilade le nizaka taoñe roapolo-ro’ amby.
After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel 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.
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Nivilasy t’Iaire vaho nalenteke e Kamone ao.
Jair died, and was buried 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh, and didn’t serve him.
7 Aa le nisolebotse am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà le natolo’e am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio, vaho am-pità’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand 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.
They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For 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 Nitsaha’ o ana’ i Amoneo ka Iordaney hialy am’ Iehoda, naho amy Beniamine, naho amy anjomba’ i Efraimey, vaho vata’e nalovilovy t’Israele.
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 very distressed.
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.
The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served 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?
Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “Didn’t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 Niforekeke’ o nte-Tsidoneo ka, naho o nte-Amalekeo, naho o nte Amoneo le nitoreova’ areo vaho rinombako am-pità’ iareo.
The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Fe niambohoa’ areo, vaho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e; izay ty tsy andrombahako anahareo.
Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Akia koiho o ‘ndrahare jinobo’ areoo; angao handrombaha’ iareo amo hasotria’ areoo.
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
15 Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà: Toe nanao hakeo zahay, ano ama’ay ze hatao’o soa; fa ehe hahao te anito.
The children of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”
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.
They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery 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 were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped 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.
The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
