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.

¹[Ny tantaran'i Tola sy Jaïra] Ary taorian'i Abimeleka dia nitsangana hamonjy ny Isiraely Tola, zanak'i Dodo, lehilahy avy tamin'ny Isakara; ary mponina tao Samira any amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima izy.

²And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

²Ary nitsara ny Isiraely telo amby roa-polo taona izy, dia maty ka nalevina tao Samira.

³And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.

³Ary nitsangana nandimby azy Jaïra Gileadita ka nitsara ny Isiraely roa amby roa-polo taona.

⁴And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

⁴Ary nanana zanakalahy telo-polo izay nitaingina zana-boriky telo-polo izy, ary izy ireo nanana tanàna telo-polo any amin'ny tany Gileada; ary atao hoe Havota-jaïra mandraka androany ireo.[Havota-jaïra = Tanàna madinika an'i Jaïra]

⁵And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

⁵Dia maty Jaïra ka nalevina tany Kamona.

⁶And 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.

⁶[Ny nihemoran'ny Isiraely indray, sy ny namalian'Andriamanitra azy] Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely dia nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah indray ka nanompo ireo Bala sy Astarta sy ny andriamanitr'i Syria sy ny andriamanitr'i Sidona sy ny andriamanitr'i Moaba sy ny andriamanitry ny taranak'i Amona ary ny andriamanitry ny Filistina, dia nahafoy an'i Jehovah izy ka tsy nanompo Azy.

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.

⁷Dia nirehitra tamin'ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan'ny Filistina sy ho eo an-tànan'ny taranak'i Amona Izy.

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.

⁸Ary nampahory sy nanorotoro ny Zanak'Isiraely ireo tamin'izany taona izany: valo ambin'ny folo taona no nampahoriany ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, izay tany an-dafin'i Jordana, tany amin'ny tanin'ny Amorita any Gileada.

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.

⁹Ary nita an'i Jordana ny taranak'i Amona mba hiady koa amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina ary ny taranak'i Efraima; ka dia nahantra indrindra ny Isiraely.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Dia nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota taminao izahay, satria efa nahafoy an'Andriamanitray ka nanompo ireo Bala.

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?

¹¹Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely: Moa tsy efa namonjy anareo tamin'ny tanan'ny Egyptiana sy ny Amorita sy ny taranak'i Amona ary ny Filistina va Aho?

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.

¹²Ary nampahory anareo koa ny Sidoniana sy ny Amalekita ary ny Maonita, ka nitaraina tamiko ianareo, dia novonjeko tamin'ny tànany.

¹³Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

¹³Nefa ianareo nahafoy Ahy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa; koa izany kosa no tsy hamonjeko anareo intsony.

¹⁴Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

¹⁴Mandehana, ka mitaraina amin'ireo andriamanitra efa nofidinareo; aoka ireo no hamonjy anareo amin'ny andron'ny fahantranareo.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Ary hoy ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'i Jehovah: Efa nanota izahay; ataovy aminay izay rehetra sitrakao; kanefa mba vonjeo ihany izahay anio.

¹⁶And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

¹⁶Dia nanary ireo andriamani-kafa tao aminy izy ka nanompo an'i Jehovah; dia tsy nahatsindry ny fanahiny intsony Jehovah noho ny fahantran'ny Isiraely.

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

¹⁷[Ny tantaran'i Jefta, sy ny nandreseny ny Amonita] Dia nivory ny taranak'i Amona ka nitoby tany Gileada. Ary nivory kosa ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nitoby tany Mizpa.Dia nifampiera ny olona, dia ireo andrianan'i Gileada, hoe: Iza no lehilahy handeha voalohany hiady amin'ny taranak'i Amona? dia ho lohany amin'ny mponina rehetra any Gileada izy.

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.

¹⁸Dia nifampiera ny olona, dia ireo andrianan'i Gileada, hoe: Iza no lehilahy handeha voalohany hiady amin'ny taranak'i Amona? dia ho lohany amin'ny mponina rehetra any Gileada izy.
