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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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]

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;

⁵Dia maty Jaïra ka nalevina tany Kamona.

⁵and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

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.

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;

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.`

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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.

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[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.

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

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.

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.`
