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.

¹In po Abimeleku je vstal, da reši Izraela, Tola, sin Pua, sina Dodovega, mož iz Isaharja; in prebival je v Samirju v Efraimskem gorovju.

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

²In sodil je Izraela trindvajset let, in je umrl in bil pokopan v Samirju.

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

³In po njem je vstal Jair, Gileadski; in je sodil Izraela dvaindvajset let.

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.

⁴In imel je trideset sinov, ki so jezdili na tridesetih mladih oslih in so imeli trideset mest, ki se imenujejo Jairovi trgi do današnjega dne in so v pokrajini Gileadski.

⁵And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

⁵In Jair je umrl in je bil pokopan v Kamonu.

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.

⁶In Izraelovi sinovi so še dalje delali, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in služili so Baalom in Astartam in bogovom Sircev in bogovom Sidoncev in bogovom Moabcev in bogovom sinov Amonovih in bogovom Filistejcev, GOSPODA pa so zapustili ter mu niso služili.

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.

⁷Tedaj se je vnela jeza GOSPODOVA zoper Izraela in jih je prodal v roko Filistejcev in v roko Amonovih sinov.

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.

⁸In stiskali so in mučili Izraelove sinove tisto leto; osemnajst let so stiskali vse sinove Izraelove, ki so bili za Jordanom, v deželi Amorejcev, ki je v Gileadu.

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.

⁹Vrhutega so Amonovi sinovi prešli Jordan, da se bojujejo z Judo in z Benjaminom in z Efraimovo hišo; in Izrael je bil silno stiskan.

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.

¹⁰In sinovi Izraelovi so vpili h GOSPODU, govoreč: Grešili smo zoper tebe, kajti zapustili smo Boga svojega in služili Baalom.

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?

¹¹A GOSPOD reče sinovom Izraelovim: Nisem li vas rešil Egipčanov in Amorejcev, sinov Amonovih in Filistejcev?

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.

¹²Tudi Sidonjani in Amalekovci in Maonci so vas stiskali, in ko ste vpili do mene, sem vas rešil njih roke.

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

¹³In vendar ste me zapustili in služili drugim bogovom; zato vas ne bom več rešil.

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

¹⁴Pojdite in kličite k bogovom, ki ste si jih izvolili: naj vas rešijo v dan stiske vaše.

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.

¹⁵Sinovi Izraelovi pa reko GOSPODU: Grešili smo, stóri nam, karkoli se ti dobro zdi; samo reši nas, prosimo, tačas!

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

¹⁶In odpravili so tuje bogove izmed sebe in so služili GOSPODU. In njemu se je v srce smililo, da je Izrael tolikanj trpel.

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

¹⁷In Amonovi sinovi so se sklicali in so se utaborili v Gileadu. Sinovi Izraelovi pa so se zbrali in se utaborili v Micpi.In ljudstvo, gileadski prvaki, so dejali drug drugemu: Kdo se začne vojskovati zoper Amonove otroke? Ta bodi poglavar vsem prebivalcem v Gileadu!

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.

¹⁸In ljudstvo, gileadski prvaki, so dejali drug drugemu: Kdo se začne vojskovati zoper Amonove otroke? Ta bodi poglavar vsem prebivalcem v Gileadu!
