1 Post Abimelech surrexit dux in Israël Thola filius Phua patrui Abimelech, vir de Issachar, qui habitavit in Samir montis Ephraim :	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.
2 et judicavit Israëlem viginti et tribus annis, mortuusque est, ac sepultus in Samir.	2 When he had judged Israel twenty-three years, he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 Huic successit Jair Galaadites, qui judicavit Israël per viginti et duos annos,	3 Jair the Gileadite came after him and judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 habens triginta filios sedentes super triginta pullos asinarum, et principes triginta civitatum, quæ ex nomine ejus sunt appellatæ Havoth Jair, id est, oppida Jair, usque in præsentem diem, in terra Galaad.	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.
5 Mortuusque est Jair, ac sepultus in loco cui est vocabulum Camon.	5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
6 Filii autem Israël peccatis veteribus jungentes nova, fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini, et servierunt idolis, Baalim et Astaroth, et diis Syriæ ac Sidonis et Moab et filiorum Ammon et Philisthiim : dimiseruntque Dominum, et non coluerunt eum.	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,
7 Contra quos Dominus iratus, tradidit eos in manus Philisthiim et filiorum Ammon.	7 the LORD became angry with Israel and allowed them to fall into the power of (the Philistines and) the Ammonites.
8 Afflictique sunt, et vehementer oppressi per annos decem et octo, omnes qui habitabant trans Jordanem in terra Amorrhæi, qui est in Galaad :	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.
9 in tantum ut filii Ammon, Jordane transmisso, vastarent Judam et Benjamin et Ephraim : afflictusque est Israël nimis.	9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was in great distress.
10 Et clamantes ad Dominum, dixerunt : Peccavimus tibi, quia dereliquimus Dominum Deum nostrum, et servivimus Baalim.	10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned against you; we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals."
11 Quibus locutus est Dominus : Numquid non Ægyptii et Amorrhæi, filiique Ammon et Philisthiim,	11 The LORD answered the Israelites: "Did not the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12 Sidonii quoque et Amalec et Chanaan oppresserunt vos, et clamastis ad me, et erui vos de manu eorum ?	12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Midianites oppress you? Yet when you cried out to me, and I saved you from their grasp,
13 Et tamen reliquistis me, et coluistis deos alienos : idcirco non addam ut ultra vos liberem :	13 you still forsook me and worshiped other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 ite, et invocate deos quos elegistis : ipsi vos liberent in tempore angustiæ.	14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen; let them save you now that you are in distress."
15 Dixeruntque filii Israël ad Dominum : Peccavimus, redde tu nobis quidquid tibi placet : tantum nunc libera nos.	15 But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever you please. Only save us this day."
16 Quæ dicentes, omnia de finibus suis alienorum deorum idola projecerunt, et servierunt Domino Deo : qui doluit super miseriis eorum.	16 And they cast out the foreign gods from their midst and served the LORD, so that he grieved over the misery of Israel.
17 Itaque filii Ammon conclamantes in Galaad fixere tentoria, contra quos congregati filii Israël in Maspha castrametati sunt.	17 The Ammonites had gathered for war and encamped in Gilead, while the Israelites assembled and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Dixeruntque principes Galaad singuli ad proximos suos : Qui primus ex nobis contra filios Ammon cœperit dimicare, erit dux populi Galaad.	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."
