Juízes 10

1 After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

3 After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.

6 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh, and didn’t serve him. 7 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the children of Ammon. 8 They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 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 very distressed. 10 The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."

11 Yahweh said to the children of Israel, "Didn’t 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, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. 13 Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more. 14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!"

15 The children of Israel said to Yahweh, "We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today." 16 They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah. 18 The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

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."
