< Judges 10 >
1 Lẹ́yìn ikú Abimeleki, ọkùnrin kan láti ẹ̀yà Isakari tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Tola ọmọ Pua, ọmọ Dodo, dìde láti gba Israẹli sílẹ̀. Ní Ṣamiri tí ó wà ní òkè Efraimu ni ó gbé.
After Abimelech's time, Tola, son of Puah, son of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, came on the scene to save Israel. He lived in the town of Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 Ó ṣe àkóso Israẹli ní ọdún mẹ́tàlélógún. Nígbà tí ó kú wọ́n sìn ín sí Ṣamiri.
He led Israel as a judge for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Jairi ti ẹ̀yà Gileadi ni ó dìde lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, ó ṣàkóso Israẹli ní ọdún méjìlélógún.
After Tola came Jair from Gilead, who led Israel as a judge for twenty-two years.
4 Àwọn ọgbọ̀n ọmọ tí ó n gun ọgbọ̀n kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Wọ́n ṣe àkóso ọgbọ̀n ìlú ní Gileadi, tí a pe orúkọ wọn ní Hafoti-Jairi títí di òní.
He had thirty sons who rode thirty donkeys. They had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called the Towns of Jair.
5 Nígbà tí Jairi kú wọ́n sin ín sí Kamoni.
Jair died and he was buried in Kamon.
6 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì túnṣe ohun tí ó burú lójú Olúwa. Wọ́n sin Baali àti Aṣtoreti àti àwọn òrìṣà Aramu, òrìṣà Sidoni, òrìṣà Moabu, òrìṣà àwọn ará Ammoni àti òrìṣà àwọn ará Filistini. Nítorí àwọn ará Israẹli kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀ tí wọn kò sì sìn ín mọ́,
Once again the Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtoreths, as well as the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. They rejected the Lord and did not worship him.
7 ó bínú sí wọn, ó fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ará Filistini àti Ammoni láti jẹ ẹ́ ní ìyà.
So the Lord became angry with Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8 Ní ọdún náà, wọ́n tú wọn ká wọ́n sì pọ́n wọn lójú. Fún ọdún méjìdínlógún ni wọ́n fi ni gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ó wà ní ìlà-oòrùn odò Jordani ní ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori lára (èyí nì ní Gileadi).
That year and for eighteen more years they harassed and oppressed the Israelites, all the Israelites that lived on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.
9 Àwọn ará Ammoni sì la odò Jordani kọjá láti bá Juda, Benjamini àti àwọn ará ilé Efraimu jagun: Israẹli sì dojúkọ ìpọ́njú tó lágbára.
The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, causing terrible trouble for Israel.
10 Nígbà tí èyí ti ṣẹlẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ké pe Olúwa wí pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ, nítorí pé àwa ti kọ Ọlọ́run wa sílẹ̀, àwa sì ń sin Baali.”
The Israelites cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “We have sinned against you, rejecting our God and worshiping the Baals.”
11 Olúwa sì dáhùn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti, Amori, Ammoni, Filistini,
The Lord replied to the Israelites, “Didn't I save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12 àwọn ará Sidoni, Amaleki pẹ̀lú Maoni ni yín lára, tí ẹ sì ké pè mí fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ǹjẹ́ èmi kò gbà yín sílẹ̀ kúrò ní ọwọ́ wọn?
the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites? When they attacked you, and you cried out to me for help, didn't I save you from them?
13 Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ láti sin àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn, torí ìdí èyí, èmi kì yóò sì tún gbà yín mọ́.
But you have rejected me and worshiped other gods, so I won't save you again.
14 Ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì ké pe àwọn òrìṣà tí ẹ̀yin ti yàn fún ara yín. Jẹ́ kí wọn gbà yín sílẹ̀ ní àsìkò ìpọ́njú yín!”
Go and cry out for help to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
15 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì dá Olúwa lóhùn pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀, ṣe ohun tí ó bá fẹ́ pẹ̀lú wa, ṣùgbọ́n, jọ̀wọ́ gbà wá sílẹ̀ náání àsìkò yìí.”
The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way you think you should, only please save us now!”
16 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n kó gbogbo ọlọ́run àjèjì tí ó wà láàrín wọn kúrò wọ́n sì sin Olúwa nìkan, ọkàn rẹ̀ kò sì le gbàgbé ìrora Israẹli mọ́.
So they got rid of the foreign gods they had and worshiped the Lord. And the Lord couldn't stand Israel's misery any longer.
17 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Ammoni kógun jọ ní Gileadi láti bá Israẹli jà, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbárajọpọ̀, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó ogun ní Mispa.
The Ammonite armies had been called up and were camped in Gilead. The Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
18 Àwọn ìjòyè: aṣíwájú àwọn ará Gileadi wí fún ará wọn pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò kọ́ ṣígun si àwọn ará Ammoni ni yóò jẹ́ orí fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní Gileadi.”
The commanders of the people of Gilead agreed among themselves, “Whoever leads the attack on the Ammonites will become ruler over everyone who lives in Gilead.”
