Judges 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 After Abimelech there rose to save Israel the Issacharite Tola, son of Puah, son of Dodo, a resident of Shamir in the mountain region of Ephraim.	1 After Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:
2 When he had judged Israel twenty-three years, he died and was buried in Shamir.	2 And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died and was buried in Samir.
3 Jair the Gileadite came after him and judged Israel twenty-two years.	3 To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty saddle-asses and possessed thirty cities in the land of Gilead; these are called Havvoth-jair to the present day.	4 Having thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day in the land of Galaad.
5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.	5 And Jair died: and was buried in the place which was called Camon.
6 The Israelites again offended the LORD, serving the Baals and Ashtaroths, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. Since they had abandoned the LORD and would not serve him,	6 But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and of the children of Ammon and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 the LORD became angry with Israel and allowed them to fall into the power of (the Philistines and) the Ammonites.	7 And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and of the children of Ammon.
8 For eighteen years they afflicted and oppressed the Israelites in Bashan, and all the Israelites in the Amorite land beyond the Jordan in Gilead.	8 And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad:
9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was in great distress.	9 Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly.
10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned against you; we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals."	10 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served Baalim.
11 The LORD answered the Israelites: "Did not the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,	11 And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,
12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Midianites oppress you? Yet when you cried out to me, and I saved you from their grasp,	12 The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
13 you still forsook me and worshiped other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.	13 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen; let them save you now that you are in distress."	14 Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.
15 But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever you please. Only save us this day."	15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
16 And they cast out the foreign gods from their midst and served the LORD, so that he grieved over the misery of Israel.	16 And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries.
17 The Ammonites had gathered for war and encamped in Gilead, while the Israelites assembled and encamped in Mizpah.	17 And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together and camped in Maspha.
18 And among the people the princes of Gilead said to one another, "The one who begins the war against the Ammonites shall be leader of all the inhabitants of Gilead."	18 And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad.
