Κριταί 10
1 καὶ ἀνέστη μετὰ Αβιμελεχ τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν Ισραηλ Θωλα υἱὸς Φουα υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Ισσαχαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ᾤκει ἐν Σαμιρ ἐν ὄρει Εφραιμ
After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμιρ
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 καὶ ἀνέστη μετ’ αὐτὸν Ιαϊρ ὁ Γαλααδ καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι δύο ἔτη
After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο υἱοὶ ἐπιβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τριάκοντα δύο πώλους καὶ τριάκοντα δύο πόλεις αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκάλουν αὐτὰς ἐπαύλεις Ιαϊρ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἐν γῇ Γαλααδ
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ιαϊρ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ραμνων
Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τοῖς Βααλιμ καὶ ταῖς Ασταρωθ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Αραδ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Σιδῶνος καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Μωαβ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον τὸν κύριον καὶ οὐκ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτῷ
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh, and didn’t serve him.
7 καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ υἱῶν Αμμων
Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
8 καὶ ἔθλιψαν καὶ ἔθλασαν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ δέκα ὀκτὼ ἔτη τοὺς πάντας υἱοὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐν γῇ τοῦ Αμορρι τοῦ ἐν Γαλααδ
They 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.
9 καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων τὸν Ιορδάνην παρατάξασθαι πρὸς Ιουδαν καὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ πρὸς Εφραιμ καὶ ἐθλίβη Ισραηλ σφόδρα
The 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.
10 καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον λέγοντες ἡμάρτομέν σοι ὅτι ἐγκατελίπομεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐδουλεύσαμεν τῷ Βααλιμ
The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.”
11 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ μὴ οὐχὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ ἀπὸ Φυλιστιιμ
Yahweh 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?
12 καὶ Σιδωνίων καὶ Αμαληκ καὶ Μαδιαμ οἳ ἔθλιψαν ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐβοήσατε πρός με καὶ ἔσωσα ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν
The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με καὶ ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἑτέροις διὰ τοῦτο οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σῶσαι ὑμᾶς
Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 πορεύεσθε καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τοὺς θεούς οὓς ἐξελέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ σωσάτωσαν ὑμᾶς ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ὑμῶν
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
15 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον ἡμάρτομεν ποίησον σὺ ἡμῖν κατὰ πᾶν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου πλὴν ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ
The children of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”
16 καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τῷ κυρίῳ μόνῳ καὶ ὠλιγώθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν κόπῳ Ισραηλ
They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Γαλααδ καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ σκοπιᾷ
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.
18 καὶ εἶπον ὁ λαὸς οἱ ἄρχοντες Γαλααδ ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τίς ὁ ἀνήρ ὅστις ἂν ἄρξηται παρατάξασθαι πρὸς υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἄρχοντα πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Γαλααδ
The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
