Domarboken 10
1 Efter AbiMelech kom upp en annan frälsare i Israel, Thola, en man af Isaschar, Puahs son, Dodo sons; och han bodde i Samir på Ephraims berg.
After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 Och han dömde Israel i tre och tjugu år, och blef död, och vardt begrafven i Samir.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Efter honom kom upp Jair, en Gileadit, och han dömde Israel i tu och tjugu år.
After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Och han hade tretio söner, ridande på tretio åsnafålar, och hade tretio städer, de kallades HavothJair allt intill denna dag, och ligga i Gilead.
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Och Jair blef död, och vardt begrafven i Kamon.
Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Men Israels barn gjorde åter det ondt var för Herranom; och tjente Baalim och Astaroth, och de gudar i Syria, och de gudar i Zidon, och Moabs gudar, och Ammons barnas gudar, och de Philisteers gudar, och öfvergåfvo Herran, och tjente honom intet.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook YHWH, and did not serve him.
7 Då förgrymmade sig Herrans vrede öfver Israel, och sålde dem under de Philisteers och Ammons barnas hand.
The anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people of Ammon.
8 Och de tvingade och förtryckte Israels barn, ifrå det året, i aderton år; alla Israels barn på hinsidon Jordan, uti de Amoreers lande, som i Gilead ligger.
And they shattered and oppressed the children of Israel that year. 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 Dertill drogo Ammons barn öfver Jordan, och stridde emot Juda, BenJamin, och emot Ephraims hus, så att Israel vardt ganska svårliga förtryckt.
The people 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 Då ropade Israels barn till Herran, och sade: Vi hafve syndat emot dig; ty vi hafve öfvergifvit vår Gud, och tjent Baalim.
The children of Israel cried to YHWH, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
11 Men Herren sade till Israels barn: Betvingade ock icke eder de Egyptier, de Amoreer, Ammons barn, de Philisteer,
YHWH said to the children of Israel, "Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the people of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 De Zidonier, de Amalekiter och Maoniter? Och jag halp eder utu deras händer, då I ropaden till mig.
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Så hafven I dock likaväl öfvergifvit mig, och tjent andra gudar; derföre vill jag intet mer hjelpa eder.
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Går och åkaller de gudar, som I utvalt hafven; låter dem hjelpa eder uti edor bedröfvelses tid.
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Men Israels barn sade till Herran: Vi hafve syndat; gör du med oss hvad dig täckes, allenast hjelp oss i denna tiden.
The children of Israel said to YHWH, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
16 Och de kastade ifrå sig de främmande gudar, och tjente Herranom; och honom ömkade deröfver, att Israel så tvingad vardt.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served YHWH; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Och Ammons barn slogo sig ihop, och lägrade sig i Gilead; men Israels barn församlade sig, och lägrade sig i Mizpa.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
18 Och folket, de öfverste i Gilead, sade emellan sig: Hvilken som först begynner till att strida emot Ammons barn, han skall vara höfvitsman öfver alla de som bo i Gilead.
And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
