¹And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,

²陀拉治理以色列人二十三年，就死了，埋葬在沙密。

²and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth, and is buried in Shamir.

³睚珥在他之后，有基列人睚珥兴起治理以色列人二十二年。

³And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judgeth Israel twenty and two years,

⁴他有三十个儿子，骑着三十头驴驹；他们有三十座城，叫作哈倭特．睚珥，直到今日都是在基列地。

⁴and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;

⁵睚珥死了以后，就埋葬在加们。

⁵and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

⁶以色列人违背　神的恶果以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事，服事众巴力和亚斯他录，以及亚兰的神、西顿的神、摩押的神、亚扪人的神、非利士人的神；他们离弃了耶和华，不再服事他。

⁶And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him;

⁷耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，就把他们交在非利士人的手中和亚扪人的手中。

⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the Bene-Ammon,

⁸从那一年起，他们就迫害欺压以色列人，就是所有在约旦河东边，住在亚摩利人之地的以色列人，共十八年。

⁸and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year — eighteen years all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.

⁹亚扪人又渡过约旦河去攻打犹大、便雅悯和以法莲家，以色列人就非常困苦。

⁹And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress.

¹⁰以色列人向耶和华哀求，说：“我们得罪了你，因为我们离弃了我们的　神，服事众巴力。”

¹⁰And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, `We have sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and serve the Baalim.`

¹¹耶和华对以色列人说：“我不是曾经拯救你们脱离埃及人、亚摩利人、亚扪人和非利士人吗？

¹¹And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, `[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines?

¹²西顿人、亚玛力人、马云人也都压迫你们；你们向我哀求，我也拯救你们脱离他们的手。

¹²And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand;

¹³你们竟离弃了我，服事别的神，因此我不再拯救你们了。

¹³and ye — ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I add not to save you.

¹⁴你们去向你们拣选的神呼求吧！让他们在你们遭遇患难的时候拯救你们吧。”

¹⁴Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed; they — they save you in the time of your adversity.`

¹⁵以色列人对耶和华说：“我们犯了罪了，你任意对待我们吧；只求你今日拯救我们。”

¹⁵And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, `We have sinned, do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.`

¹⁶以色列人就从他们中间除去外族人的神，事奉耶和华；耶和华的心因以色列人所受的患难，就很着急。

¹⁶And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.

¹⁷当时亚扪人聚集起来，在基列安营；以色列人也聚集，在米斯巴安营。

¹⁷And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.

¹⁸基列的人民和众领袖彼此说：“谁先去攻打亚扪人，谁就可以作基列所有居民的首领。”

¹⁸And the people — heads of Gilead — say one unto another, `Who [is] the man that doth begin to fight against the Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.`
