610:6 Amu 2:11, 13; Eze 27:16; Mwa 10:15; 19:38; Hes 21:29; Mwa 26:1; Amu 2:12; Kum 32:15Wana wa Israeli wakatenda tena maovu machoni pa Bwana. Wakaabudu Mabaali na Maashtorethi, miungu ya Aramu, miungu ya Sidoni, miungu ya Moabu, miungu ya Waamoni na miungu ya Wafilisti. Kwa kuwa Waisraeli walimwacha Bwana wala hawakuendelea kumtumikia, 710:7 Kum 31:17; 32:30hivyo hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli, naye akawatia mikononi mwa Wafilisti na Waamoni, 810:8 Yos 12:2ambao waliwaonea na kuwatesa mwaka ule. Kwa miaka kumi na minane wakawatesa Waisraeli wote upande wa mashariki ya Mto Yordani katika Gileadi, nchi ya Waamori. 910:9 Amu 1:22; 11:4Waamoni nao wakavuka Yordani ili kupigana na Yuda, Benyamini na nyumba ya Efraimu, nayo nyumba ya Israeli ikawa katika taabu kubwa. 1010:10 Amu 3:9; Kut 9:27; Za 32:5; Yer 3:25; 8:14; 14:20; 2:27Ndipo Waisraeli wakamlilia Bwana wakasema, “Tumetenda dhambi dhidi yako, kumwacha Mungu wetu na kutumikia Mabaali.”
1110:11 Kut 14:30; Mwa 14:7; Amu 3:13, 31Bwana akawaambia, “Wakati Wamisri, Waamori, Waamoni, Wafilisti, 1210:12 Mwa 14:7; Yos 15:55; Amu 4:3; Za 106:42Wasidoni, Waamaleki na Wamaoni walipowaonea na ninyi mkanililia na kuomba msaada, je, sikuwaokoa kutoka mikononi mwao? 1310:13 Kum 32:15; Yer 11:10; 13:10Lakini ninyi mmeniacha mimi na kutumikia miungu mingine, kwa hiyo sitawaokoa tena. 1410:14 Isa 44:17; 57:13; Kum 32:37; Yer 2:28; 11:12; Hab 2:18Nendeni mkaililie ile miungu mlioichagua. Hiyo miungu na iwaokoe mnapokuwa katika taabu!”
1510:15 1Sam 3:18; 2Sam 10:12; 15:26; Ay 1:21; Isa 39:8Lakini Waisraeli wakamwambia Bwana, “Tumetenda dhambi. Ututendee lile unaloona kuwa jema kwako, lakini twakusihi utuokoe sasa.” 1610:16 Yos 24:23; Yer 18:8; Isa 63:9; Kum 32:36; Za 106:44-45Nao wakaiondoa hiyo miungu migeni katikati yao nao wakamtumikia Bwana. Naye akahuzunika kwa sababu ya taabu ya Israeli.
1710:17 Mwa 31:49; Amu 11:29Ndipo Waamoni wakaitwa vitani na kupiga kambi huko Gileadi, Waisraeli wakakusanyika na kupiga kambi huko Mispa. 1810:18 Amu 11:8-9Viongozi wa watu wa Gileadi wakaambiana wao kwa wao, “Yeyote yule atakayeanzisha mashambulizi dhidi ya Waamoni atakuwa kiongozi wa wote wakaao Gileadi.”
1And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.10.1 defend: or, deliver: Heb. save 2And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3¶ And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. 4And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.10.4 Havoth-jair: or, the villages of Jair 5And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6¶ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him. 7And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. 8And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.10.8 oppressed: Heb. crushed 9Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
10¶ And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 11And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 12The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 13Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. 14Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15¶ And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.10.15 seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes 16And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.10.16 strange…: Heb. gods of strangers10.16 grieved: Heb. shortened 17Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.10.17 gathered: Heb. cried 18And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
