1After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
1 Abimelek buuyaŋo banda Tola, Puwa izo, Dodo ize, Isakar boro no, nga mo tun nga ma Israyla faaba se. A go Samir ga goro Ifraymu tondey laabo ra.
2He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
2 A na Israyla may jiiri waranka cindi hinza, gaa no a bu. I n'a fiji Samir ra.
3After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
3 A banda Yayir, Jileyad boro, nga mo tun. A na Israyla may jiiri waranka cindi hinka.
4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
4 A gonda ize aru waranza kaŋ yaŋ ga kaaru farka binji waranza boŋ. I gonda kwaara waranza, kaŋ yaŋ se i ga ne Habbot-Yayir (kaŋ a feerijo ga ti Yayir kawyey) hala ka kaa sohõ. I go no mo Jileyad laabo ra.
5Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
5 Yayir bu, i n'a fiji Kamom mo.
6The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Yahweh, and didn’t serve him.
6 Israyla izey ye ka goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. I may Baalyaŋ da bundu toorey, da Suriya de-koyey, da Zidon de-koyey, da Mowab de-koyey, da Amon izey de-koyey, da Filistancey de-koyey se. I fay da Rabbi ganayaŋ, i siino ga may a se mo.
7The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
7 Rabbi futa mo koroŋ Israyla izey boŋ. A n'i daŋ Filistancey mayray cire, da Amon izey kambe ra mo.
8They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years, they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
8 Jiiri woodin ra binde, i na Israyla izey kankam gumo k'i taabandi. Kala a to jiiri way cindi ahakku kaŋ day Israyla izey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go Urdun daŋanta, Jileyad kaŋ go Amonancey laabo ra, Amonancey n'i taabandi no-haray.
9The children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was very distressed.
9 Amon izey na Urdun daŋandi zama ngey ma Yahuda da Benyamin da Ifraymu mo wongu, hala Israyla di kayna gumo.
10The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.”
10 Israyla izey binde hẽ Rabbi gaa. I ne: «Iri na zunubi te ni se, kaŋ a ciya iri fay d'iri Irikoy ganayaŋ, iri may Baalyaŋ se mo.»
11Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “Didn’t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
11 Rabbi mo ne Israyla izey se: «Manti ay no k'araŋ faaba Misirancey da Amorancey, da Amon izey, da Filistancey kambe ra?
12The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
12 Ngey, Zidonancey mo, da Amalekancey, da Mawonancey, waato kaŋ i n'araŋ naan, araŋ hẽ ay gaa mo, ay n'araŋ faaba ka kaa i kambe ra.
13Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods: therefore I will save you no more.
13 Kulu nda yaadin araŋ n'ay furu, araŋ may de-koy waani yaŋ se. Woodin se no ay si ye k'araŋ faaba koyne.
14Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
14 Wa koy ka hẽ de-koyey kaŋ araŋ suuban yaŋ din gaa. Wa naŋ ngey din, i m'araŋ faaba araŋ gurzugay alwaati ra.»
15The children of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned: do you to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day.”
15 Israyla izey ne Rabbi se: «Iri na zunubi te. Ma te iri se hay kulu kaŋ ni ga ba. Kala day hunkuna ni ma iri faaba, iri go ga ni ŋwaaray.»
16They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
16 I fay da mebarawey de-koyey kaŋ go i do ka may Rabbi se. Israyla azaaba mo na Rabbi bakarandi.
17Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
17 Saaya din no Amon izey margu ka ngey gata sinji Jileyad ra. Israyla izey mo margu ka ngey gata sinji Mizpa ra.
18The people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, “What man is he who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
18 Borey binde, sanda Jileyad mayraykoyey nooya, i ne ngey nda cara se: «Man bora kaŋ ga jin ka sintin ka Amon izey wongu? Nga no ga ciya Jileyad gorokoy kulu se jine boro.»
