Kaiwhakariterite 10

1 A i muri a Apimereke, ka whakatika ake hei kaiwhakaora mo Iharaira ko Tora tama a Pua tama a Roro, he tangata no Ihakara: a i noho ia ki Hamiri ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima.

And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.

2 A e rua tekau ma toru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira, na ka mate, a tanumia ana ki Hamiri.

And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

3 A i muri i a ia ka whakatika ko Haira Kireari, e rua tekau ma rua nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years.

4 Na e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau ano nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou, e toru tekau hoki o ratou pa, e huaina nei ko Hawotohaira, a tae noa ki tenei ra; kei te whenua o Kireara.

And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

5 Na ka mate a Haira, a ka tanumia ki Kamono.

And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.

6 Na ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira ki ta Ihowa titiro, i mahi ki nga Paara, ki te Ahataroto, ki nga atua o Hiria, ki nga atua o Hairona, ki nga atua o Moapa, ki nga atua o nga tamariki a Amona, ki nga atua o nga Pirihitini: whakarerea ak e e ratou a Ihowa, kihai ano hoki i mahi ki a ia.

And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, 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; and they forsook the LORD, and served Him not.

7 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hokona atu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, ki te ringa hoki o nga tamariki a Amona.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.

8 A i taua tau i kurua, i tukinotia e ratou nga tamariki a Iharaira; a tekau ma waru nga tau i tukinotia ai nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira i tawahi o Horano, i te whenua o nga Amori, i Kireara.

And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel that year; eighteen years oppressed they all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

9 Na ka whiti atu nga tamariki a Amona i Horano ki te whawhai ano hoki ki a Hura, ki a Pineamine, ki te whare hoki o Eparaima, a taea rawatia iho te raru o Iharaira.

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 sore distressed.

10 Katahi ka karanga nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Kua hara matou ki a koe, kua whakarerea hoki e matou to matou atua, kua mahi hoki ki nga Paara.

And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying: 'We have sinned against Thee, in that we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.'

11 A ka mea a Ihowa ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, Kahore ianei koutou i whakaorangia e ahau i nga Ihipiana, i nga Amori, i nga tamariki a Amona, i nga Pirihitini?

And the LORD said unto the children of Israel: 'Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

12 I tukino ano hoki nga Haironi, nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Maoni i a koutou, a, no ta koutou tangihanga ki ahau, ka ora koutou i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.

The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto Me, and I saved you out of their hand.

13 Heoi whakarerea ana ahau e koutou, a mahi ana koutou ki nga atua ke: koia ahau te whakaora ai ano i a koutou.

Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served other gods; wherefore I will save you no more.

14 Haere, karanga atu ki a koutou atua i whiriwhiri ai; ma ratou koutou e whakaora i te wa o to koutou hemanawa.

Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.'

15 Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, Kua hara matou, mau e mea ki a matou nga mea katoa e pai ana ki tau titiro; otiia whakaorangia matou inaianei.

And the children of Israel said unto the LORD: 'We have sinned; do Thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto Thee; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.'

16 Na ka whakarerea e ratou nga atua ke i roto i a ratou, a ka mahi ki a Ihowa: na ka koingo tona ngakau ki a Iharaira i mate nei.

And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD; and His soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

17 Na ka huihuia nga tamariki a Amona, a ka noho ki Kireara, i huihui ano nga tamariki a Iharaira, a noho ana i Mihipa.

Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.

18 Na ka mea te iwi ratou ko nga rangatira o Kireara tetahi ki tetahi, Ko wae te tangata hei timata i te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona? ka waiho ia hei upoko mo nga tangata katoa o Kireara.

And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another: 'What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
