Bisisu 9
1 Gidione egefe amo Abimelege (Gidione ea gidisedagi uda ea mano) da Siegeme moilai bai bagadega asi. Ea ame ea sosogo fi da amogawi esalu. E da ilima amane sia: i,
Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem to his mother's family, and said to them and to all the family of his mother's father,
2 “Siegeme dunu ilima amane adole ba: ma, ‘Dilima ouligisuwane esaloma: ne dilia da nowa hanabela: ? Gidione egefe70da dilima ouligisu esalumu da defeala: ? O dunu afadafa fawane da defeala: ? Mae gogolema! Abimelege da dilia fidafa dunu. Dilia hu amola maga: me afadafa fawane hamoi galu.’”
Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.
3 Abimelege ame ea sosogo fi da amo sia: Siegeme dunuma sia: dasu. Amola Siegeme dunu da Abimelege ema fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: i galu. Bai Abimelege da ilia sosogo fi dunu esalu, ilia ba: i.
So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
4 Ilia da Ba: ile gousa: su hamoi amo ea debolo diasuga, muni silifa fage 70 agoane lale, Abimelegema i. Abimelege da hamedei wadela: i hamosu dunu e fidima: ne sia: i amola, ilima amo muni i.
And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.
5 E da ea ada diasu Ofala moilai bai bagadega dialu amoga asili, igi afae amo da: iya ea yolali (Gidione egefe) 70 agoane huluane medole legei dagoi. Be Youda: me (Gidione ea ufidafa mano) da wamoaligili, esalebe ba: i.
Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.
6 Amalalu, Siegeme dunu huluane da gilisili, sema ouge ifa Siegeme sogega lelu amoga asili, Abimelege hina bagade ilegei dagoi.
And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.
7 Youda: me da amo sia: nababeba: le, asili, Gelesime Goumi amo da: iya gado lelu, amane wele sia: i, “Dilia Siegeme dunu! Na sia: nabima! Amasea, Gode da dilia sia: nabima: bela: ?
Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.
8 Eso afaega, ifa huluane da gilisili, ilia hina bagade ilegema: ne gilisi. Ilia da olife ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
One day the trees went out to make a king for themselves; and they said to the olive-tree, Be king over us.
9 Be olife ifa da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na fage amoga dunu ilia susuligi amo ‘gode’ amola osobo bagade dunu ilima nodomusa: laha. Be na da dili ouligisia, susuligi bu hamomu da hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?
10 Amalalu, ifa eno ilia da figi ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then the trees said to the fig-tree, You come and be king over us.
11 Be figi ifa da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na da dili ouligisia, noga: i hedai fage bu legemu da hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
But the fig-tree said to them, Am I to give up my sweet taste and my good fruit and go waving over the trees?
12 Amalalu, ifa ilia da waini efe amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then the trees said to the vine, You come and be king over us.
13 Be waini efe da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na waini hano da ‘gode’ ili amola osobo bagade dunu amo nasea hahawane ba: sa. Be na da dilia ouligisia, waini hano bu imunu hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
But the vine said to them, Am I to give up my wine, which makes glad God and men, to go waving over the trees?
14 Amalalu, ifa huluane da aya: gaga: nomei legei ifa fonobahadi amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misa! Ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then all the trees said to the thorn, You come and be king over us.
15 Aya: gaga: nomei legei ifa da bu adole i, ‘Defea! Dilia da dafawane na dilia hina bagade hamomu hanai galea, misa amola na ougia hagudua aligima. Dilia agoane hame hamosea, na aya: gaga: nomei legei amoda amoga lalu da gadili nenanebe ba: mu. Amola amo lalu da Lebanone soge dolo ifa huluane nene dagomu.’”
And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.
16 Youda: me da eno amane sia: i, “Dilia da Abimelege hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegebeba: le, noga: i amola moloiwane hamobela: ? Gidione amola ea sosogo fi da hou noga: idafa hamosu. Be dilia da amo nodone dawa: beba: le, amo hou hamobela: ?
So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;
17 Na ada da dili gaga: ma: ne fidili gegei dagoi. Amo mae gogolema! E da ea esalusu mae dawa: le, dili Midia: ne dunu ilima gaga: ma: ne fidili gegei.
(For my father made war for you, and put his life in danger, and made you free from the hands of Midian;
18 Be wali esoga dilia da na ada sosogo fi amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Dilia da ea mano 70 amo huluane igi afadafa da: iya medole legei dagoi. Abimelege da Gidione ea hawa: hamosu uda amo ea mano. Be e da dilia sosogo fiba: le, dilia da e Isala: ili dunu ouligima: ne, ema ilegei dagoi.
And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother; )
19 Amaiba: le amo hou dilia da Gidione amola ea sosogo fi ilima wali eso hamoi, amo da hou noga: i amola moloi ba: sea, defea, dilia Abimelege ema hahawane galoma. Amola e da dilima hahawane ganumu da defea.
If then you have done what is true and upright to Jerubbaal and his family this day, may you have joy in Abimelech, and may he have joy in you;
20 Be amai hame galea, defea, lalu da Abimelege amoga nene, Siegeme dunu amola Bedemilou dunu nene dagoi ba: mu da defea. Amola lalu da Siegeme dunu amola Bedemilou dunu amoga nene, Abimelege amola nei dagoi ba: mu da defea.”
But if not, may fire come out from Abimelech, burning up the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo, for the destruction of Abimelech.
21 Amalalu, Youda: me da ea ola Abimelege ema beda: iba: le, hobeale, asili, Bie sogega doaga: le, esalu.
Then Jotham straight away went in flight to Beer, and was living there for fear of his brother Abimelech.
22 Abimelege da ode udiana amoga Isala: ili soge ouligisu.
So Abimelech was chief over Israel for three years.
23 Amalalu, Gode da Abimelege amola Siegeme dunu ela da sia: ga gegema: ne hamoi. Ilia da Abimelege fisili, ema ha laiwane ba: i.
And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;
24 Abimelege amola Siegeme dunu (ilia da Abimelege fidi amola ea dogo denesi) ilia da Gidione ea manoni 70 agoane fufuga: i. Ilia da amo wadela: i hou se iasu dabe lama: ne, Gode da ilima afafasu hou i.
So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.
25 Siegeme dunu da goumi gadodili Abimelege fuga: ma: ne logo la: ididili wamoaligisu. Nowa dunu da logoga ahoanoba, ilia da amo dunu ilia liligi wamolasu. Eno dunu da amo hou Abimelegema olelei.
And the townsmen of Shechem put secret watchers on the tops of the mountains, and they made attacks on all who went by on the road and took their goods; and word of this came to Abimelech.
26 Amalalu, Ga: ile (Ebede ea egefe) amola yolalali da Siegeme sogega misi. Siegeme dunu da ema fa: no bobogei.
Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.
27 Ilia huluane da ilia waini sagai amoga asili, waini fage faili, waini hano hamone, lolo nasu gilisisu hamoi. Ilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ea debolo diasu amo ganodini golili sa: ili, ha: i mai, waini hano mai amola Abimelege ea hou gadele sia: dasu.
And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.
28 Ga: ile da amane sia: i, “Ninia hou da adi houla: ? Ninia abuliba: le Abimelege ea hawa: hamosala: ? E da nowala: ? E da Gidione ea mano fawane. Sibale da ea sia: naba, be ninia da abuliba: le ema fa: no bobogesala: ? Dilia aowalalia eda amo Ha: imo da dilia fi muni hemosu. Ema fa: no bobogemu da defea.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?
29 Na da dilia fi ilima ouligisu ganiaba, na da Abimelege amo sefasila: loba. Na da ema, ‘Dia dadi gagui gilisisu hahamoma! Gadili asili ninima gegema!’ na da ema sia: na: noba.”
If only I had authority over this people! I would put Abimelech out of the way, and I would say to Abimelech, Make your army strong, and come out.
30 Siegeme moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu amo Sibale, da Ga: ile ea sia: nababeba: le, mi hanai galu.
Now Zebul, the ruler of the town, hearing what Gaal, the son of Ebed, had said, was moved to wrath.
31 Abimelege da Aluma sogega esalu. Sibale da ema adola ahoasu dunu asunasi. Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Ga: ile (Ebede egefe) amola yolali da Siegeme moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Ilia da di Siegeme golili sa: imu logo ga: simu.
And he sent to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem, and they are working up the town against you.
32 Amaiba: le, di amola dima fa: no bobogesu dunu amo gasia wa: legadole, moifufu ganodini wamoaligima.
So now, get up by night, you and your people, and keep watch in the field secretly;
33 Aya hahabe, eso mabe amoga wa: legadole amola moilai bai bagadega doagala: ma. Amasea, Ga: ile amola ea dunu da dilima gegemusa: gadili ahoasea, dia ha: giwane ili fama.”
And in the morning, when the sun is up, get up early and make a rush on the town; and when he and his people come out against you, do to them whatever you have a chance to do.
34 Amaiba: le, Abimelege amola ea dunu huluane da gasia asili, Siegeme moilai bai bagadega gadili wamoaligi. Ilia da gilisisu biyadu gala hamoi.
So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.
35 Abimelege amola ea dunu da Ga: ile gadili misini moilai bai bagade logo ga: su amoga lelebe ba: loba, ilia da ilia wamoaligisu sogebi fisili, wa: legadoi.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.
36 Ga: ile da amo dunu ba: le, Sibalema amane sia: i, “Hodoma! Dunu da goumi gado fisili manebe goea!” Sibale da bu adole i, “Amo da dunu hame. Amo da baba goumia digaga: la: i fawane.”
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, See! people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shade of the mountains like men.
37 Be Ga: ile da bu sia: i, “Hodoma! Dunu da goumi felea gado manebegoea. Amola gilisisu eno da logo amo da ba: la: lusu dunu ilia ouge ifa amoga maha amoga manebe na ba: sa.”
And Gaal said again, See! people are coming down from the middle of the land, and one band is coming by way of the oak-tree of the Seers.
38 Amalalu, Sibale da ema amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia gasa fi sia: da wali habila: ? Dia gasa fili, ninia abuliba: le amo dunu Abimelege ea hawa: hamosala: ? sia: i dagoi. Amo dunu wali manebe da dunu dia hihini lasogoi dagoi. Di gadili asili, ilima gegema.”
Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your loud talk when you said, Who is Abimelech that we are to be his servants? Is this not the people whom you were rating so low? Go out now, and make war on them.
39 Ga: ile da Siegeme dunu gadili oule asili, Abimelege amoma gegei.
So Gaal went out at the head of the townsmen of Shechem and made war on Abimelech.
40 Ga: ile hobea: i amola Abimelege da e sefasi. Dunu bagohame da moilai logo ga: su amoga fa: faginisi bagade ba: i.
And Abimelech went after him and he went in flight before him; and a great number were falling by the sword all the way up to the town.
41 Abimelege da Aluma moilaiga esalu. Amola Sibale da Ga: ile amola yolali gadili sefasi. Amaiba: le, ilia bu Siegeme moilai amo ganodini esalumu hamedeiwane ba: i.
Then Abimelech went back to Arumah; and Zebul sent Gaal and his brothers away and would not let them go on living in Shechem.
42 Aya amoha, Abimelege da Siegeme dunu da ilia ifabi amoga masusa: dawa: i, e da amane nabi.
Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.
43 Amaiba: le, e da ea dunu afafane, gilisisu udiana hamone, ifabi ganodini wamoaligili, ouesalu. E da Siegeme dunu moilaiga gadili manebe ba: loba, e da ea wamoaligisu fisili, ili medomusa: misi.
And he took his people, separating them into three bands, and was waiting secretly in the field; and when he saw the people coming out of the town, he went up and made an attack on them.
44 Abimelege amola ea gilisisu da hehenane, moilai bai bagade logo ga: su amo ouligimusa: ahoanoba, ea eno gilisisu aduna da Siegeme dunu ifabia esalu amoga doagala: le, huluane medole legei dagoi.
And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.
45 Amo esoga ilia mae fisili gegenanu. Abimelege da Siegeme moilai amo lai dagoi. E da dunu huluane medole legele, diasu huluane mugululi, osobo amo deme amoga dedeboi.
And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.
46 Be Siegeme ouligisu dunu da gasa bagade diasu amo ganodini gagili sali ba: i. Ilia da amo hou nababeba: le, hehenane gasa bagade ‘Ba: ile da Gousa: su Hamoi’ ea debolo diasu ganodini gagili sali.
Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.
47 Ilia da amo debolo diasu ganodini gagili sali amo nababeba: le, Abimelege da Sa: lamoune Goumi amoga ea dunu oule asi. Amalalu, e da goaha: i lale, ifa amoda damuni, amo gisa asi. Ea dunu da amo defele hedolo hamoma: ne, e sia: i.
And word was given to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were there together.
Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.
49 Amaiba: le, dunu huluane da ifa amoda damui. Amalalu, ilia da Abimelege amoma fa: no bobogele, ifa huluane amo Ba: ile gasa bagade diasu amo ea baiga ligisili, lalu didi. Lalu da amo diasu nene dagoi. Dunu amola uda (1,000 agoane) huluane amo diasu ganodini esalu da bogogia: i dagoi.
So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.
50 Amalalu, Abimelege da Dibese moilai bai bagadega asili, sisiga: le, lai dagoi.
Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and put his army in position against Thebez and took it.
51 Amo moilai ganodini, gasa bagade diasu sedade gado gagagula heda: lebe ba: i. Dibese dunu, uda amola ilia ouligisu dunu da amoga hehenai. Ilia da golili sa: ili, logo ga: le, diasu figisu gadodafa amoga asi.
But in the middle of the town there was a strong tower, to which all the men and women of the town went in flight and, shutting themselves in, went up to the roof of the tower.
52 Abimelege da amo sedade diasu gado gagagula heda: i doagala: musa: misini, e da amo logo ga: suga laluga ulagimusa: asi.
And Abimelech came to the tower and made an attack on it, and got near to the door of the tower for the purpose of firing it.
53 Be uda afae da igi bagade (amoga ilia da widi goudasu) amo gududili sanasili, Abimelege ea dialuma gasa goudai.
But a certain woman sent a great stone, such as is used for crushing grain, on to the head of Abimelech, cracking the bone.
54 Amalalu, Abimelege da goi dunu (amo da Abimelege ea gegesu liligi gaguli ahoasu) amo ema misa: ne sia: ne, amane adoi, “Dia gegesu gobihei bagade duga: le gadole, na medole legemu. Dunu eno ilia da Abimelege udaga medole legei amo sia: mu na higa: i gala mabu.” Amaiba: le, amo goi da Abimelege gegesu gobiheiga sone, e bogoi.
Then quickly crying out to his body-servant, he said to him, Take out your sword and put an end to me straight away, so that men may not say of me, His death was the work of a woman. So the young man put his sword through him, causing his death.
55 Isala: ili dunu da Abimelege bogoi dagoi ba: beba: le, ilia diasuga buhagi.
And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went away, every man to his place.
56 Gode da agoaiwane Abimelegema dabe i. Bai e da ea yolalali 70 amo medole legeiba: le, ea ada Gidionema wadela: i bagade hamosu.
In this way Abimelech was rewarded by God for the evil he had done to his father in putting his seventy brothers to death;
57 Amola Siegeme dunu da wadela: i bagade hamobeba: le, Gode da ilima se iasu. Gidione egefe amo Youda: me da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne i, amo defele ba: i dagoi.
And God sent back on to the heads of the men of Shechem all the evil they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came on them.
