10  A i muri a Apimereke, ka whakatika ake hei kaiwhakaora mo Iharaira ko Tora tama a Pua tama a Roro, he tangata no Ihakara: a i noho ia ki Hamiri ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima.

A e rua tekau ma toru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira, na ka mate, a tanumia ana ki Hamiri.

A i muri i a ia ka whakatika ko Haira Kireari, e rua tekau ma rua nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

Na e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau ano nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou, e toru tekau hoki o ratou pa, e huaina nei ko Hawotohaira, a tae noa ki tenei ra; kei te whenua o Kireara.

Na ka mate a Haira, a ka tanumia ki Kamono.

Na ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira ki ta Ihowa titiro, i mahi ki nga Paara, ki te Ahataroto, ki nga atua o Hiria, ki nga atua o Hairona, ki nga atua o Moapa, ki nga atua o nga tamariki a Amona, ki nga atua o nga Pirihitini: whakarerea ak e e ratou a Ihowa, kihai ano hoki i mahi ki a ia.

Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hokona atu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, ki te ringa hoki o nga tamariki a Amona.

A i taua tau i kurua, i tukinotia e ratou nga tamariki a Iharaira; a tekau ma waru nga tau i tukinotia ai nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira i tawahi o Horano, i te whenua o nga Amori, i Kireara.

Na ka whiti atu nga tamariki a Amona i Horano ki te whawhai ano hoki ki a Hura, ki a Pineamine, ki te whare hoki o Eparaima, a taea rawatia iho te raru o Iharaira.

10 Katahi ka karanga nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Kua hara matou ki a koe, kua whakarerea hoki e matou to matou atua, kua mahi hoki ki nga Paara.

11 A ka mea a Ihowa ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, Kahore ianei koutou i whakaorangia e ahau i nga Ihipiana, i nga Amori, i nga tamariki a Amona, i nga Pirihitini?

12 I tukino ano hoki nga Haironi, nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Maoni i a koutou, a, no ta koutou tangihanga ki ahau, ka ora koutou i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.

13 Heoi whakarerea ana ahau e koutou, a mahi ana koutou ki nga atua ke: koia ahau te whakaora ai ano i a koutou.

14 Haere, karanga atu ki a koutou atua i whiriwhiri ai; ma ratou koutou e whakaora i te wa o to koutou hemanawa.

15 Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, Kua hara matou, mau e mea ki a matou nga mea katoa e pai ana ki tau titiro; otiia whakaorangia matou inaianei.

16 Na ka whakarerea e ratou nga atua ke i roto i a ratou, a ka mahi ki a Ihowa: na ka koingo tona ngakau ki a Iharaira i mate nei.

17 Na ka huihuia nga tamariki a Amona, a ka noho ki Kireara, i huihui ano nga tamariki a Iharaira, a noho ana i Mihipa.

18 Na ka mea te iwi ratou ko nga rangatira o Kireara tetahi ki tetahi, Ko wae te tangata hei timata i te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona? ka waiho ia hei upoko mo nga tangata katoa o Kireara.

Tola

10 After the time of Abimelek,(A) a man of Issachar(B) named Tola son of Puah,(C) the son of Dodo, rose to save(D) Israel. He lived in Shamir,(E) in the hill country of Ephraim. He led[a] Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir.

Jair

He was followed by Jair(F) of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years. He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys.(G) They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair.[b](H) When Jair(I) died, he was buried in Kamon.

Jephthah

Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.(J) They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths,(K) and the gods of Aram,(L) the gods of Sidon,(M) the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites(N) and the gods of the Philistines.(O) And because the Israelites forsook the Lord(P) and no longer served him, he became angry(Q) with them. He sold them(R) into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead,(S) the land of the Amorites. The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah,(T) Benjamin and Ephraim;(U) Israel was in great distress. 10 Then the Israelites cried(V) out to the Lord, “We have sinned(W) against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”(X)

11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(Y) the Amorites,(Z) the Ammonites,(AA) the Philistines,(AB) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(AC) and the Maonites[c](AD) oppressed you(AE) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(AF) me and served other gods,(AG) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save(AH) you when you are in trouble!(AI)

15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(AJ) but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord.(AK) And he could bear Israel’s misery(AL) no longer.(AM)

17 When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.(AN) 18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, “Whoever will take the lead in attacking the Ammonites will be head(AO) over all who live in Gilead.”
