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.

After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years.

6 Ammas Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan. Baʼaalii fi Ashtooreti akkasumas waaqota Sooriyaa, Siidoonaa, Moʼaab, Amoonii fi kan Filisxeem waaqeffatan. Waan Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoon dhiisanii isa waaqeffachuu didaniif,
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 inni isaanitti dheekkame. Dabarsees harka Filisxeemotaatii fi Amoonotaatti isaan gurgure;
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 isaanis bara sana ijoollee Israaʼel gad cabsanii cunqursan. Israaʼeloota biyya Amoorotaa kan Giliʼaad keessa karaa baʼaatiin laga Yordaanos bira jiraatan hundumaa waggaa kudha saddeet akka malee cunqursan.
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 Amoononnis gosa Yihuudaa, gosa Beniyaamii fi mana Efreem waraanuudhaaf laga Yordaanos ceʼan. Israaʼeloonnis akka malee raafaman.
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 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni, “Nu si Waaqa keenya dhiifnee Baʼaal waaqeffachuudhaan yakka sitti hojjenneerra” jedhanii Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
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 Waaqayyos akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Yeroo warri Gibxi, Amooronni, Amoononni, Filisxeemonni,
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 Siidoononni, Amaaleqoonnii fi Maaʼoononni isin cunqursinaan isin natti iyyattanitti ani harka isaanii jalaa isin hin baafnee?
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 Isin garuu na dhiiftanii waaqota biraa waaqeffattan; kanaafuu ani siʼachi isin hin baasu.
Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Deemaatii waaqota filattan sanatti iyyadhaa. Yommuu isin rakkattan isaanumti isin haa oolchan!”
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
15 Israaʼeloonnis Waaqayyoon, “Nu cubbuu hojjenneera. Ati waan feete nu godhi; amma garuu maaloo nu baasi” jedhan.
The children of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”
16 Isaanis waaqota ormaa gidduu isaaniitii balleessanii Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan. Innis ergasii dhiphina Israaʼel calʼisee ilaaluu hin dandeenye.
They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17 Yeroo Amoononni Giliʼaaditti wal gaʼanitti Israaʼeloonnis wal gaʼanii Miisphaa qubatan.
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Hooggantoonni namoota Giliʼaadis, “Namni jalqabatti Amoonotatti waraana banu inni jiraattota Giliʼaad hundaaf hoogganaa taʼa” waliin jedhan.
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.”
