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,
Then went Abimelech son of Jerubbaal, to Shechem, unto the brethren of his mother, —and spake unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying;
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.’”
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the owners of Shechem—Which is better for you, that there should rule over you, seventy men, all sons of Jerubbaal, or that there should rule over you, one man? And remember that, your bone and your flesh, am I.
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 the brethren of his mother spake for him, in the ears of all the owners of Shechem, all these words, —and their heart inclined after Abimelech, for they said—Our own brother, is he.
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.
So they gave him seventy pieces of silver, out of the house of Baal-berith, —and Abimelech hired therewith, loose and unstable men, and they followed him.
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.
And he entered the house of his father, at Ophrah, and slew his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone, —but there remained Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, for he had hidden himself.
6 Amalalu, Siegeme dunu huluane da gilisili, sema ouge ifa Siegeme sogega lelu amoga asili, Abimelege hina bagade ilegei dagoi.
Then were gathered together all the owners of Shechem, and all the house of Millo, and they went and made Abimelech king, —by the oak of the pillar, that was 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: ?
And, when it was told Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried aloud, —and said unto them—Hearken unto me, ye owners of Shechem, and may God, hearken unto 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.’
The trees, went their way, to anoint over them, a king, —and they said unto the olive tree—Reign thou 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 unto them, Should I leave my fatness, which, in me, gods and men do honour, —and go to wave to and fro, over the trees?
10 Amalalu, ifa eno ilia da figi ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then said the trees unto the fig-tree, —Come! thou reign 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 unto them, Should I leave my sweetness, and mine excellent increase, —and go to wave to and fro, over the trees?
12 Amalalu, ifa ilia da waini efe amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then said the trees unto the vine, —Come! thou, reign 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 unto them, Should I leave my new wine, that rejoiceth gods and men, —and go to wave to and fro, 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 said all the trees, unto the bramble, —Come, thou, to reign 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 bramble said unto the trees, If, in truth, ye are about to anoint me to be king over you, come, take refuge in my shade, —but, if not, there shall come forth fire out of the bramble, and devour 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: ?
Now, therefore, if, in truth and sincerity, ye have acted, in making Abimelech king, —and if ye have dealt, well, with Jerubbaal and with his house, and if, according to the deserving of his hands, ye have done unto him;
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.
in that my father fought for you, and cast his soul away from before him, and rescued you out of the hand 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.
yet have, ye, risen up against the house of my father, to-day, and slain his sons—seventy men, upon one stone, —and made Abimelech, son of his maidservant, king over the owners 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, in truth and in sincerity, ye have dealt with Jerubbaal and with his house, this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let, him also, rejoice 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, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the owners of Shechem, and the house of Millo, —and let fire come out from the owners of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech!
21 Amalalu, Youda: me da ea ola Abimelege ema beda: iba: le, hobeale, asili, Bie sogega doaga: le, esalu.
And Jotham hasted away, and fled, and went to Beer, —and dwelt there, away from the face of Abimelech his brother.
22 Abimelege da ode udiana amoga Isala: ili soge ouligisu.
And Abimelech ruled over Israel 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.
Then God let go a spirit of mischief between Abimelech and the owners of Shechem, —and the owners of Shechem dealt treacherously with 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.
that the cruel wrong to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might [come upon them], —and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the owners of Shechem who strengthened his hands, to slay his brethren.
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.
So the owners of Shechem set for him liers in wait, upon the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who crossed over them by the road, —and it was told Abimelech.
26 Amalalu, Ga: ile (Ebede ea egefe) amola yolalali da Siegeme sogega misi. Siegeme dunu da ema fa: no bobogei.
And Gaal son of Ebed came, with his brethren, and they passed through to Shechem, —and the owners of Shechem put their trust 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.
Then went they out into the fields, and gathered the fruit of their vineyards and trode [the grapes], and held a vintage festival, —and entered the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and poured contempt on 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 son of Ebed said: Who is Abimelech—and who is the son of Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? Serve ye the men of Hamor, Shechem’s father, but why should, we, serve him?
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.”
Would, then, this people were in my hand! that I might set aside Abimelech, —and say to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out!
30 Siegeme moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu amo Sibale, da Ga: ile ea sia: nababeba: le, mi hanai galu.
And, when Zubul, governor of the city, heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, then was kindled his anger.
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 messengers unto Abimelech, by deceit, saying, —Lo! Gaal son of Ebed, and his brethren, are coming into Shechem; and lo! are fortifying the city against thee.
32 Amaiba: le, di amola dima fa: no bobogesu dunu amo gasia wa: legadole, moifufu ganodini wamoaligima.
Now, therefore, up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field;
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 it shall be, in the morning, about sunrise, thou shalt get up early, and spread thyself out against the city, —when lo! he and the people that are with him coming out against thee, so shalt thou do unto him as thy hand shall find opportunity.
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 rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, —and they lay in wait above Shechem, in four companies.
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.
Then came forth Gaal son of Ebed, and took his stand at the opening of the gate of the city, —so Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the place of ambush.
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 unto Zebul, Lo! people coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, The shadow of the mountains, thou seest, 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.”
Then did Gaal yet further speak, and say—Lo! people coming down from the highest part of the land, —and one company, coming in by way of the Conjurers’ Terebinth.
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.”
So then Zebul said unto him—Where, then, is thy mouth that kept on saying, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not, this, the people which thou didst despise? Go forth, I pray thee, now, and fight with them!
39 Ga: ile da Siegeme dunu gadili oule asili, Abimelege amoma gegei.
And Gaal went forth before the owners of Shechem, —and fought against 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 chased him, and he fled before him, —and there fell a multitude of slain as far as the entering of the gate.
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 dwelt Abimelech in Arumah, —and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42 Aya amoha, Abimelege da Siegeme dunu da ilia ifabi amoga masusa: dawa: i, e da amane nabi.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, that the people went forth into the field, —and they told 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.
So he took the people and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field, —and he looked, and lo! the people coming forth out of the city, so he rose up against them, and smote 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, and the companies that were with him, spread themselves out, and [one of the companies] took their stand at the opening of the gate of the city, —while, the two companies, spread themselves out against all that were in the field, and smote 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, Abimelech, fought against the city, all that day, and captured the city, the people also that were therein, he slew, —and brake down the city, and sowed it 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.
And, when all the owners of the tower of Shechem heard, they entered into the basement 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 it was told Abimelech, that all the owners of the tower of Shechem had gathered themselves together.
So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him, and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and lifted it, and laid it on his shoulder, —and said unto the people that were with him—What ye have seen me do, haste! do likewise.
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, even all the people cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and laid them over the basement, and set it on fire over them who were therein, —even all the men of the tower of Shechem died about a thousand men and women.
50 Amalalu, Abimelege da Dibese moilai bai bagadega asili, sisiga: le, lai dagoi.
Then went Abimelech unto Thebez, —and encamped against Thebez, and captured 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.
Now, a strong tower, was in the midst of the city, and there fled thither all the men and the women, and all the owners of the city, and shut themselves in, —and went up on 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 in as far as the tower, and fought against it, —and so came near, as far as the entrance of the tower, to burn it with fire.
53 Be uda afae da igi bagade (amoga ilia da widi goudasu) amo gududili sanasili, Abimelege ea dialuma gasa goudai.
And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon the head of Abimelech, —and brake in pieces his skull.
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 called he hastily unto the young man bearing his armour, and said unto him—Draw thy sword, and put me to death, lest they say of me, A woman, slew him! So his young man thrust him through, and he died.
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 their way every man to his own 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.
Thus did God requite the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father, in slaying his seventy brethren;
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.
all the wickedness also, of the men of Shechem, did God requite upon their own head, —and so brought in upon, them the curse of Jotham, son of Jerubbaal.
