Judges 10
1 After Abimelech there arose to defend Israel, Tola, the sonne of Puah, the sone of Dodo, a man of Issachar, which dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
Efter Abimelek fremstod som Israels Befrier Tola, en Søn af Dodos Søn Pua, en Mand af Issakar, som boede i Sjamir i Efraims Bjerge.
2 And he iudged Israel three and twentie yeere and dyed, and was buried in Shamir.
Han var Dommer i Israel i tre og tyve År. Da han døde, blev han jordet i Sjamir.
3 And after him arose Iair a Gileadite, and iudged Israel two and twenty yeere.
Efter ham fremstod Gileaditen Jair; han var Dommer i Israel i to og tyve År.
4 And he had thirtie sonnes that rode on thirtie assecolts, and they had thirtie cities, which are called Hauoth-Iair vnto this day, and are in the land of Gilead.
Han havde tredive Sønner, som red på tredive Æsler, og de havde tredive Byer, som endnu den Dag i Dag kaldes Jairs Teltbyer; de ligger i Gilead.
5 And Iair dyed, and was buried in Kamon.
Da Jair døde, blev han jordet i Kamon.
6 And the children of Israel wrought wickednesse againe in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistims, and forsooke the Lord and serued not him.
Men Israelitterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, idet de dyrkede Ba'alerne og Astarterne og Aramæernes, Zidons, Moabs, Ammoniternes og Filisternes Guder og faldt fra HERREN og undlod at dyrke ham.
7 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hands of the Philistims, and into the handes of the children of Ammon:
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Filisterne og Ammoniterne,
8 Who from that yere vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteene yeres, euen all the children of Israel that were beyond Iorden, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
som kuede og mishandlede Israelitterne i det År; i atten År kuede de alle Israelitterne hinsides Jordan i Amoritemes Land i Gilead.
9 Moreouer, the children of Ammon went ouer Iorden to fight against Iudah, and against Beniamin, and against the house of Ephraim: so that Israel was sore tormented.
Og Ammoniterne satte over Jordan for også at angribe Juda, Benjamin og Efraims Slægt, så at Israelitterne kom i stor Nød.
10 Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, saying, We haue sinned against thee, euen because we haue forsaken our owne God, and haue serued Baalim.
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN og sagde: "Vi har syndet imod dig, thi vi har forladt HERREN vor Gud og dyrket Ba'alerne!"
11 And the Lord sayd vnto the children of Israel, Did not I deliuer you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon and from the Philistims?
Men HERREN svarede Israelitterne: "Har ikke Ægypterne, Amoriterne, Ammoniterne, Filisterne,
12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites did oppresse you, and ye cryed to me and I saued you out of their hands.
Zidonierne, Amalekiterne og Midjaniterne mishandlet eder? Og da I råbte til mig, frelste jeg eder af deres Hånd.
13 Yet ye haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: wherefore I will deliuer you no more.
Men I forlod mig og dyrkede andre Guder! Derfor vil jeg ikke mere frelse eder!
14 Goe, and cry vnto the gods which ye haue chosen: let them saue you in the time of your tribulation.
Gå nu hen og råb til de Guder, I udvalgte eder, og lad dem frelse eder i eders Nød:"
15 And the children of Israel sayde vnto the Lord, We haue sinned: doe thou vnto vs whatsoeuer please thee: onely we pray thee to deliuer vs this day.
Da sagde Israelitterne til HERREN: "Vi har syndet! Gør med os, hvad dig tykkes godt, men frels os blot nu!"
16 Then they put away the strange gods from among them and serued the Lord: and his soule was grieued for the miserie of Israel.
Og de skilte sig af med de fremmede Guder og dyrkede HERREN; da kunde han ikke længer holde ud at se Israels Nød.
17 Then the children of Ammon gathered themselues together, and pitched in Gilead: and the children of Israel assembled themselues, and pitched in Mizpeh.
Ammoniterne stævnedes sammen, og de slog Lejr i Gilead; også Israelitterne samlede sig, og de slog Lejr i Mizpa.
18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, Whosoeuer will beginne the battell against the children of Ammon, the same shall be head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Da sagde Folket, Gileads Høvdinger, til hverandre: "Hvis der findes en Mand, som vil tage Kampen op med Ammoniterne, skal han være Høvding over alle Gileads Indbyggere!"
