Juízes 10

Ko Tora me Haira

1 Ā, i muri i a Apīmereke, ka whakatika ake hei kaiwhakaora mō Īharaira ko Tora tama a Pua tama a Roro, he tangata nō Ihākara; ā, i noho ia ki Hāmiri ki te whenua pukepuke o Ēparaima. 2 Ā, e rua tekau mā toru ngā tau i whakarite ai ia mō Īharaira, nā, ka mate, ā, tanumia ana ki Hāmiri.

3 Ā, i muri i a ia ka whakatika ko Haira Kireari, e rua tekau mā rua ngā tau i whakarite ai ia mō Īharaira. 4 Nā, e toru tekau āna tama, e toru tekau anō ngā kūao kāihe i eke ai rātou, e toru tekau hoki ō rātou pā, e huaina nei ko Hawotohaira, ā tae noa ki tēnei rā; kei te whenua o Kireara. 5 Nā, ka mate a Haira, ā, ka tanumia ki Kamono.

Ka Whakawhiua e ngā Āmoni

6 Nā, ka mahi kino anō ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki tā Ihowā titiro, i mahi ki ngā Paara, ki te Ahataroto, ki ngā atua o Hīria, ki ngā atua o Hairona ki ngā atua o Moapa, ki ngā atua o ngā tamariki a Āmona, ki ngā atua o ngā Pirihitini; whakarērea ake e rātou a Ihowā, kīhai anō hoki i mahi ki a ia. 7 Nā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a Īharaira, ā, hokona atu ana rātou e ia ki te ringa o ngā Pirihitini, ki te ringa hoki o ngā tamariki a Āmona. 8 Ā, i taua tau i kurua, i tūkinotia e rātou ngā tamariki a Īharaira; ā, tekau mā waru ngā tau i tūkinotia ai ngā tamariki katoa a Īharaira i tāwāhi o Horano, i te whenua o ngā Amori, i Kireara. 9 Nā, ka whiti atu ngā tamariki a Āmona i Horano ki te whawhai anō hoki ki a Hūrā, ki a Pineamine, ki te whare hoki o Ēparaima, ā, taea rawatia iho te raru o Īharaira.

10 Kātahi ka karanga ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki a Ihowā, ka mea, "Kua hara mātou ki a koe, kua whakarērea hoki e mātou tō mātou Atua, kua mahi hoki ki ngā Paara."

11 Ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki ngā tamariki a Īharaira, "Kāhore ianei koutou i whakaorangia e ahau i ngā Īhipiana, i ngā Amori, i ngā tamariki a Āmona, i ngā Pirihitini? 12 I tūkino anō hoki ngā Haironi, ngā Amareki, rātou ko ngā Maoni i a koutou, ā, nō tā koutou tangihanga, ki ahau, ka ora koutou i ahau i roto i tō rātou ringa. 13 Heoi, whakarērea ana ahau e koutou, ā, mahi ana koutou ki ngā atua kē; koia ahau tē whakaora ai anō i a koutou. 14 Haere, karanga atu ki ā koutou atua i whiriwhiri ai; mā rātou koutou e whakaora i te wā o tō koutou hēmanawa."

15 Nā, ka mea ngā tamariki a Īharaira ki a Ihowā, "Kua hara mātou, māu e mea ki a mātou ngā mea katoa e pai ana ki tāu titiro; otiia whakaorangia mātou ināianei." 16 Nā, ka whakarērea e rātou ngā atua kē i roto i a rātou, ā, ka mahi ki a Ihowā; nā, ka kōingo tōna ngākau ki a Īharaira i mate nei.

17 Nā, ka huihuia ngā tamariki a Āmona, ā, ka noho ki Kireara, i huihui anō ngā tamariki a Īharaira, ā, noho ana i Mihipa. 18 Nā, ka mea te iwi rātou ko ngā rangatira o Kireara tētahi ki tētahi, "Ko wai te tangata hei tīmata i te whawhai ki ngā tamariki a Āmona? Ka waiho ia hei upoko mō ngā tāngata katoa o Kireara."

1 And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim. 2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

3 And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years. 4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.

6 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and served him not. 7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon. 8 And they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: eighteen years oppressed they all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 And the children of Ammon passed over the 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 Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim. 11 And Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto me, and I saved you out of their hand. 13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will save you no more. 14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress. 15 And the children of Israel said unto Jehovah, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. 16 And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah. 18 And the people, the 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.
