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 أَبِيمَالِكَ لِتَخْلِيصِ إِسْرَائِيلَ تُولَعُ بْنُ فُوَاةَ بْنِ دُودُو، رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَسَّاكَرَ، كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي شَامِيرَ فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ.

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

2 فَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ ثَلَاثًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَمَاتَ وَدُفِنَ فِي شَامِيرَ.

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

3 ثُمَّ قَامَ بَعْدَهُ يَائِيرُ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيُّ، فَقَضَى لِإِسْرَائِيلَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ 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 لَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَلَدًا يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى ثَلَاثِينَ جَحْشًا، وَلَهُمْ ثَلَاثُونَ مَدِينَةً. مِنْهُمْ يَدْعُونَهَا «حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. هِيَ فِي أَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ.

5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

5 وَمَاتَ 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 يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ وَٱلْعَشْتَارُوثَ وَآلِهَةَ أَرَامَ وَآلِهَةَ صِيدُونَ وَآلِهَةَ مُوآبَ وَآلِهَةَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَآلِهَةَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَتَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ 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 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَبَاعَهُمْ بِيَدِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَبِيَدِ بَنِي 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 فَحَطَّمُوا وَرَضَّضُوا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ. ثَمَانِي عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. جَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي جِلْعَادَ.

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 بَنُو عَمُّونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِيُحَارِبُوا أَيْضًا يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَبَيْتَ أَفْرَايِمَ. فَتَضَايَقَ إِسْرَائِيلُ جِدًّا.

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 فَصَرَخَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِأَنَّنَا تَرَكْنَا إِلَهَنَا وَعَبَدْنَا ٱلْبَعْلِيمَ».

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

11 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ خَلَّصْتُكُمْ؟

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

12 وَٱلصِّيدُونِيُّونَ وَٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ وَٱلْمَعُونِيُّونَ قَدْ ضَايَقُوكُمْ فَصَرَخْتُمْ إِلَيَّ فَخَلَّصْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ؟

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

13 وَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. لِذَلِكَ لَا أَعُودُ أُخَلِّصُكُمْ.

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

14 اِمْضُوا وَٱصْرُخُوا إِلَى ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهَا، لِتُخَلِّصَكُمْ هِيَ فِي زَمَانِ ضِيقِكُمْ».

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: «أَخْطَأْنَا، فَٱفْعَلْ بِنَا كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. إِنَّمَا أَنْقِذْنَا هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ».

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 ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ وَعَبَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَضَاقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِسَبَبِ مَشَقَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

17 فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي جِلْعَادَ، وَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

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 فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ رُؤَسَاءُ جِلْعَادَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ لِصَاحِبِهِ: «أَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَبْتَدِئُ بِمُحَارَبَةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ رَأْسًا لِجَمِيعِ سُكَّانِ جِلْعَادَ».
