Judges 10
1 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.
Ary taorian’ i Abimeleka dia nitsangana hamonjy ny Isiraely Tola, zanak’ i Dodo, lehilahy avy tamin’ ny Isakara; ary mponina tao Samira any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima izy.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Ary nitsara ny Isiraely telo amby roa-polo taona izy, dia maty ka nalevina tao Samira.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
Ary nitsangana nandimby azy Jaïra Gileadita ka nitsara ny Isiraely roa amby roa-polo taona.
4 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’.
Ary nanana zanakalahy telo-polo izay nitaingina zana-boriky telo-polo izy, ary izy ireo nanana tanàna telo-polo any amin’ ny tany Gileada; ary atao hoe Havota-jaïra mandraka androany ireo.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Dia maty Jaïra ka nalevina tany Kamona.
6 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.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray ka nanompo ireo Bala sy Astarta sy ny andriamanitr’ i Syria sy ny andriamanitr’ i Sidona sy ny andriamanitr’ i Moaba sy ny andriamanitry ny taranak’ i Amona ary ny andriamanitry ny Filistina, dia nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka tsy nanompo Azy.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina sy ho eo an-tànan’ ny taranak’ i Amona Izy.
8 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.
Ary nampahory sy nanorotoro ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo tamin’ izany taona izany: valo ambin’ ny folo taona no nampahoriany ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, izay tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita any Gileada.
9 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.
Ary nita an’ i Jordana ny taranak’ i Amona mba hiady koa amin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina ary ny taranak’ i Efraima; ka dia nahantra indrindra ny Isiraely.
10 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.”
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota taminao izahay, satria efa nahafoy an’ Andriamanitray ka nanompo ireo Bala.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Moa tsy efa namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana sy ny Amorita sy ny taranak’ i Amona ary ny Filistina va Aho?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
Ary nampahory anareo koa ny Sidoniana sy ny Amalekita ary ny Maonita, ka nitaraina tamiko ianareo, dia novonjeko tamin’ ny tànany.
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Nefa ianareo nahafoy Ahy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa; koa izany kosa no tsy hamonjeko anareo intsony.
14 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!”
Mandehana, ka mitaraina amin’ ireo andriamanitra efa nofidinareo; aoka ireo no hamonjy anareo amin’ ny andron’ ny fahantranareo.
15 But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”
Ary hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ i Jehovah: Efa nanota izahay; ataovy aminay izay rehetra sitrakao; kanefa mba vonjeo ihany izahay anio.
16 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.
Dia nanary ireo andriamani-kafa tao aminy izy ka nanompo an’ i Jehovah; dia tsy nahatsindry ny fanahiny intsony Jehovah noho ny fahantran’ ny Isiraely.
17 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].
Dia nivory ny taranak’ i Amona ka nitoby tany Gileada. Ary nivory kosa ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitoby tany Mizpa.
18 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].”
Dia nifampiera ny olona, dia ireo andrianan’ i Gileada, hoe: Iza no lehilahy handeha voalohany hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona? dia ho lohany amin’ ny mponina rehetra any Gileada izy.
