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

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

⁵and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.

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.

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;

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.`
