Judges 10

1 After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

1 وَقَامَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِيمَالِكَ تُولَعُ بْنُ فُوَاةَ بْنِ دُودُو مِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ لإِنْقَاذِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَكَانَ هَذَا قَاطِناً فِي شَامِيرَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ،

2 Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.

2 وَظَلَّ قَاضِياً لإِسْرَائِيلَ مُدَّةَ ثَلاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي شَامِيرَ.

3 Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

3 ثُمَّ تَوَلَّى بَعْدَهُ قَضَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَائِيرُ الْجِلْعَادِيُّ طَوَالَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.

4 وَكَانَ لِيَائِيرَ ثَلاثُونَ ابْناً يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى ثَلاثِينَ جَحْشاً وَيَمْلِكُونَ ثَلاثِينَ مَدِينَةً فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ، وَهِيَ تُدْعَى حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

5 ثُمَّ مَاتَ يَائِيرُ وَدُفِنَ فِي قَامُونَ.

6 And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

6 وَعَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الإِثْمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَعَبَدُوا الْبَعْلِيمَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ وَآلِهَةَ أَرَامَ وَآلِهَةَ صِيدُونَ وَآلِهَةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَآلِهَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَتَرَكُوا الرَّبَّ وَلَمْ يَعْبُدُوهُ.

7 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,

7 وَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ،

8 who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and they did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

8 مُدَّةَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَأَذَاقُوا الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَرْضِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ فِي جِلْعَادَ. شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ

9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.

9 وَعَبَرَ الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَسْبَاطِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَأَفْرَايِمَ، فَاعْتَرَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ ضِيقٌ عَظِيمٌ.

10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”

10 فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ لأَنَّنَا تَرَكْنَا إِلَهَنَا وَعَبَدْنَا الْبَعْلِيمَ».

11 The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

11 فَأَجَابَهُمُ الرَّبُّ: «أَلَمْ أُنْقِذْكُمْ مِنَ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟

12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?

12 وَعِنْدَمَا اسْتَغَثْتُمْ بِي مِنَ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ وَالْعَمَالِقَةِ وَالْعَمُّونِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ ضَايَقُوكُمْ، أَلَمْ أُخَلِّصْكُمْ؟

13 But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

13 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، لِهَذَا لَا أَعُودُ أُنْقِذُكُمْ،

14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”

14 فَهَيَّا اسْتَجِيرُوا بِالآلِهَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُمُوهَا لِتُخَلِّصَكُمْ فِي وَقْتِ ضِيْقِكُمْ».

15 “We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”

15 فَقَالَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا، فَافْعَلْ بِنَا مَا تَشَاءُ، وَلَكِنْ أَنْقِذْنَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ».

16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.

16 وَأَزَالُوا الأَوْثَانَ الْغَرِيبَةَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا الرَّبَّ، فَرَقَّ قَلْبُهُ لِمَشَقَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

17 فَاحْتَشَدَ الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ وَعَسْكَرُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَتَجَمَّعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَيَّمُوا فِي الْمِصْفَاةِ.

18 And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”

18 فَتَدَاوَلَ قَادَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَبْدَأْ فِي شَنِّ الْهُجُومِ عَلَى الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، يُصْبِحْ رَئِيساً عَلَى جَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ جِلْعَادَ».
