Old Testament

Judges 10

1After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah arose to save Israel, the son of his father's brother, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir on Mount Ephraim.

καὶ ἀνέστη μετὰ Αβιμελεχ τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν Ισραηλ Θωλα υἱὸς Φουα υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ Ισσαχαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ᾤκει ἐν Σαμιρ ἐν ὄρει Εφραιμ

2He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir.

καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμιρ

3After him arose Jair of Gilead; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.

καὶ ἀνέστη μετ᾿ αὐτὸν Ιαϊρ ὁ Γαλααδ καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἴκοσι δύο ἔτη

4He had thirty-two sons who rode on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities, which are called the villages of Jair to this day in the land of Gilead.

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

5And Jair died and was buried in Ramnon.

καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ιαϊρ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ραμνων

6Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, serving Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Arad, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the Lord and did not serve Him.

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

7And the Lord was enraged with anger against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.

καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Φυλιστιιμ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ υἱῶν Αμμων

8And they afflicted and oppressed the sons of Israel for a time of eighteen years, all the children of Israel beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead.

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

9Moreover, the sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to war against Judah and Benjamin, with Ephraim. The children of Israel suffered severely.

καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων τὸν Ιορδάνην παρατάξασθαι πρὸς Ιουδαν καὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ πρὸς Εφραιμ καὶ ἐθλίβη Ισραηλ σφόδρα

10And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, 'We have sinned against You, because we have forsaken God and have served the Baals!'

καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον λέγοντες ἡμάρτομέν σοι ὅτι ἐγκατελίπομεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐδουλεύσαμεν τῷ Βααλιμ

11So the Lord said to the sons of Israel, 'Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites and from the sons of Ammon and from the Philistines,

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ μὴ οὐχὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ ἀπὸ Φυλιστιιμ

12from the Sidonians and Amalekites and Maonites who oppressed you when you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand?

καὶ Σιδωνίων καὶ Αμαληκ καὶ Μαδιαμ οἳ ἔθλιψαν ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐβοήσατε πρός με καὶ ἔσωσα ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν

13Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more.

καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με καὶ ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἑτέροις διὰ τοῦτο οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σῶσαι ὑμᾶς

14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen for yourselves; let them deliver you in the time of your distress.'

πορεύεσθε καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τοὺς θεούς οὓς ἐξελέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ σωσάτωσαν ὑμᾶς ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ὑμῶν

15And the sons of Israel said to the Lord, 'We have sinned! Do to us whatever is good in Your eyes; only deliver us this day.'

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

16So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord alone. And His soul was grieved by the misery of Israel.

καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδούλευσαν τῷ κυρίῳ μόνῳ καὶ ὠλιγώθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν κόπῳ Ισραηλ

17Then the sons of Ammon went up and encamped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel assembled together and encamped at the lookout.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Γαλααδ καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ σκοπιᾷ

18And each of the leaders of Gilead said to his neighbor, 'Who is the man who will begin the fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall indeed be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'

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
