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,

¹Ja pärast Abimelekit tõusis Iisraeli päästma Toola, Doodo poja Puua poeg, issaskarlane, kes elas Saamiris Efraimi mäestikus.

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

²Tema mõistis Iisraelile kohut kakskümmend kolm aastat; siis ta suri ja maeti Saamirisse.

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

³Ja pärast teda tõusis gileadlane Jair ja mõistis Iisraelile kohut kakskümmend kaks aastat.

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;

⁴Temal oli kolmkümmend poega; need ratsutasid kolmekümne eesli seljas ja neil oli kolmkümmend linna, mida tänapäevani hüütakse 'Jairi telklaagreiks'; need on Gileadimaal.

⁵and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

⁵Jair suri ja maeti Kamonisse.

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;

⁶Ja Iisraeli lapsed tegid jälle kurja Issanda silmis ning teenisid baale ja astartesid, Süüria jumalaid, Siidoni jumalaid, Moabi jumalaid, ammonlaste jumalaid ja vilistite jumalaid, ja nad jätsid maha Issanda ega teeninud teda.

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,

⁷Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Iisraeli vastu ja ta andis nad vilistite ja ammonlaste kätte.

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.

⁸Need vaevasid ja rõhusid Iisraeli lapsi sel aastal ja veel kaheksateist aastat, kõiki Iisraeli lapsi, kes olid teisel pool Jordanit Gileadis oleval emorlaste maal.

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.

⁹Ja ammonlased läksid üle Jordani sõdima ka Juuda, Benjamini ja Efraimi soo vastu; ja Iisraelil oli väga kitsas käes.

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.`

¹⁰Siis Iisraeli lapsed kisendasid Issanda poole, öeldes: 'Me oleme sinu vastu pattu teinud, sest me oleme maha jätnud oma Jumala ja oleme teeninud baale!'

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?

¹¹Ja Issand ütles Iisraeli lastele: 'Eks ma ole teid päästnud egiptlaste, emorlaste, ammonlaste ja vilistite käest?

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

¹²Siidonlased, Amalek ja Maon rõhusid teid. Siis te kisendasite minu poole ja ma päästsin teid nende käest.

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

¹³Aga te jätsite mind maha ja teenisite teisi jumalaid, sellepärast ma ei päästa teid enam!

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

¹⁴Minge ja kisendage nende jumalate poole, keda te olete valinud! Päästku nemad teid teie ahastuse ajal!'

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.`

¹⁵Siis Iisraeli lapsed ütlesid Issandale: 'Me oleme pattu teinud! Talita sina meiega, nagu see sinu silmis hea on, aga päästa meid praegu!'

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.

¹⁶Ja nad kõrvaldasid eneste keskelt võõrad jumalad ning teenisid Issandat; siis ei sallinud tema hing enam Iisraeli vaeva.

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

¹⁷Aga ammonlased kutsuti kokku ja nad lõid leeri üles Gileadi; ja Iisraeli lapsed kogunesid ning lõid leeri üles Mispasse.

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.`

¹⁸Siis ütlesid inimesed, Gileadi vürstid, üksteisele: 'Kes oleks see mees, kes hakkaks sõdima ammonlaste vastu? Saagu ta pealikuks kõigile Gileadi elanikele!'
