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,
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brethren, and talked with them, and with 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 men of Shechem, Which is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are seventy persons, should reign over you, or that one should reign over you? remember also 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.
And his mother’s brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow 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 pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and light persons, who 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 went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, upon one stone: however Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
6 Amalalu, Siegeme dunu huluane da gilisili, sema ouge ifa Siegeme sogega lelu amoga asili, Abimelege hina bagade ilegei dagoi.
And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain 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 they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken 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.’
The trees went forth once to anoint a king over them; and they said to 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 to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10 Amalalu, ifa eno ilia da figi ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and 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 to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12 Amalalu, ifa ilia da waini efe amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, and 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.’
And the vine said to them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted 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 to the bramble, Come thou, and 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 to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come 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 ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving 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 fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you from 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.
And ye have risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men 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 ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then 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 men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men 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 ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 Abimelege da ode udiana amoga Isala: ili soge ouligisu.
When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
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 sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men 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 cruelty done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of 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.
And the men of Shechem set an ambush for him on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: 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 the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence 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 the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed 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 should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for 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.”
And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thy 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 Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
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 to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
32 Amaiba: le, di amola dima fa: no bobogesu dunu amo gasia wa: legadole, moifufu ganodini wamoaligima.
Now therefore rise 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, that in the morning, as soon as the sun hath risen, thou shalt rise early, and rush upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
34 Amaiba: le, Abimelege amola ea dunu huluane da gasia asili, Siegeme moilai bai bagadega gadili wamoaligi. Ilia da gilisisu biyadu gala hamoi.
And Abimelech rose, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against 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.
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
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, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were 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 spoke again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
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 said Zebul to him, Where is now thy mouth, with which thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? are not these the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
39 Ga: ile da Siegeme dunu gadili oule asili, Abimelege amoma gegei.
And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with 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 many were overthrown and wounded, even to the entrance 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.
And Abimelech dwelt at 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 next day, that the people went out 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.
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people had come out of the city; and 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 company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew 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 he took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and beat 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 men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into a strong hold of the house of the god 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 to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
And Abimelech went up to 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 took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
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.
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the strong hold, and set the strong hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
50 Amalalu, Abimelege da Dibese moilai bai bagadega asili, sisiga: le, lai dagoi.
Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped 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 there was a strong tower within the city, and to there fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it after them, and went up to the top 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 fought against it, and came near to the door 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 a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and broke 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 he called hastily to the young man his armourbearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And 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 departed 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.
Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did 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.
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
