¹A po Abimelechovi povstal zachrániť Izraela Tóla, syn Púov, syna Dódovho, muž z pokolenia Izachárovho, a ten býval v Šamíre, na vrchu Efraimovom.

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,

²Súdil Izraela dvadsaťtri rokov a keď zomrel, pochovaný bol v Šamíre.

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

³Po ňom povstal Jair Gileádsky a súdil Izraela dvadsaťdva rokov.

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

⁴A mal tridsiatich synov, ktorí jazdili na tridsiatich mladých osloch a mali tridsať miest. Volajú ich dedinami Jairovými až do tohoto dňa, ktoré sú v zemi Gileáde.

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;

⁵A keď zomrel Jair, pochovaný bol v Kamone.

⁵and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

⁶A synovia Izraelovi zase robili to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, a slúžili Bálom a Astartám a syrským bohom, aramejským, a sidonským bohom, moábskym bohom, bohom synov Ammonových a bohom Filištínov a opustili Hospodina a neslúžili mu.

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;

⁷Preto sa zanietil hnev Hospodinov na Izraela, a predal ich do ruky Filištínov a do ruky synov Ammonových,

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,

⁸ktorí drtili a deptali synov Izraelových toho roku a osemnásť rokov všetkých synov Izraelových, ktorí boli za Jordánom v zemi Amoreja, ktorá je v Gileáde.

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.

⁹Lebo synovia Ammonovi prešli cez Jordán, aby bojovali aj proti Júdovi, proti Benjaminovi a proti domu Efraimovmu. A Izraelovi bolo veľmi úzko.

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.

¹⁰Vtedy kričali synovia Izraelovi k Hospodinovi a vraveli: Zhrešili sme proti tebe, a to tým, že sme opustili svojho Boha a slúžili sme Bálom.

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.`

¹¹A Hospodin riekol synom Izraelovým: Či nezachránil som vás od Egypťanov a od Amorejov, od synov Ammonových a od Filištínov?

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?

¹²A utiskovali vás Sidonci, Amalech a Maon, a keď ste kričali ku mne, zachránil som vás z ich ruky.

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

¹³Ale vy ste ma opustili a slúžili ste iným bohom, preto vás už viacej nezachránim.

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

¹⁴Iďte a kričte k bohom, ktorých ste si vyvolili: nech vám tí pomôžu v čas vašej úzkosti.

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

¹⁵A synovia Izraelovi povedali Hospodinovi: Zhrešili sme. Ty nám učiň, čokoľvek sa ti ľúbi, len nás, prosíme, vytrhni tohoto dňa.

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.`

¹⁶A odstránili cudzích bohov zo svojho stredu a slúžili Hospodinovi. A nemohla to zvládať jeho duša, aby sa nezľutovala v trápení Izraelovom.

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.

¹⁷A synovia Ammonovi sa svolali a položili sa táborom v Gileáde. A shromaždili sa aj synovia Izraelovi a položili sa táborom v Micpe.

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

¹⁸A ľud povedal, kniežatá kraja Gileáda, druh druhovi: Kto je ten muž, ktorý započne bojovať proti synom Ammonovým? Bude hlavou všetkým obyvateľom Gileáda.

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.`
