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 defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount 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, a Gileadite, and 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 young donkeys, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair to 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 Camon.
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 did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, 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 forsook the LORD, and served not him.
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 hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands 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 that year they afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side of 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.
Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was greatly 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 to the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served 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 to the children of Israel, Did not I deliver 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, oppressed you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered 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: therefore I will deliver 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 to the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
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 to the LORD, We have sinned: do thou to us whatever seemeth good to thee; deliver us only, 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 foreign 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 Mizpeh.
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 and 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.
