Juízes 10
1 Depois de Abimelech, Tola, o filho de Puah, o filho de Dodo, um homem de Issachar, surgiu para salvar Israel. Ele viveu em Shamir, na região montanhosa de Ephraim.
After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.
2 Ele julgou Israel vinte e três anos, e morreu, e foi enterrado em Shamir.
He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Depois dele, surgiu Jair, o Gileadita. Ele julgou Israel vinte e dois anos.
After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
4 Ele teve trinta filhos que montaram em trinta jumentos. Eles tinham trinta cidades, que até hoje são chamadas Havvoth Jair, que estão na terra de Gilead.
He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.
5 Jair morreu, e foi enterrado em Kamon.
When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
6 Os filhos de Israel novamente fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, e serviram os Baal, os Ashtaroth, os deuses da Síria, os deuses de Sidon, os deuses de Moabe, os deuses dos filhos de Amon, e os deuses dos filisteus. Eles abandonaram Yahweh, e não o serviram.
Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.
7 A raiva de Javé queimou contra Israel, e ele os vendeu na mão dos filisteus e na mão dos filhos de Amon.
So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
8 Eles perturbaram e oprimiram as crianças de Israel naquele ano. Durante dezoito anos eles oprimiram todas as crianças de Israel que estavam além do Jordão na terra dos amorreus, que fica em Gileade.
In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.
9 Os filhos de Amon passaram por cima do Jordão para lutar também contra Judá, e contra Benjamim, e contra a casa de Efraim, de modo que Israel ficou muito angustiado.
Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.
10 As crianças de Israel gritaram a Javé, dizendo: “Pecamos contra vocês, mesmo porque abandonamos nosso Deus, e servimos aos Baal”.
So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”
11 Yahweh disse aos filhos de Israel: “Eu não te salvei dos egípcios, dos amorreus, dos filhos de Amon, e dos filisteus?
Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
12 Os sidônios também, e os amalequitas, e os maonitas, vos oprimiram; e vós chorastes para mim, e eu vos salvei da mão deles.
and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
13 No entanto, vocês me abandonaram e serviram a outros deuses. Portanto, eu não mais vos salvarei.
But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
14 Go e chore aos deuses que você escolheu. Que eles te salvem no momento de sua angústia”.
You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”
15 As crianças de Israel disseram a Javé: “Nós pecamos! Façam-nos o que lhes parecer bom; só nos entreguem, por favor, hoje”.
But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”
16 Eles afastaram os deuses estrangeiros do meio deles e serviram a Iavé; e sua alma se entristeceu pela miséria de Israel.
Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.
17 Então as crianças de Ammon foram reunidas e acampadas em Gilead. As crianças de Israel se reuniram e acamparam em Mizpah.
The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].
18 O povo, os príncipes de Gilead, disseram uns aos outros: “Quem é o homem que começará a lutar contra as crianças de Ammon? Ele será o cabeça sobre todos os habitantes de Gilead”.
The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”
