1 Aisraeli anali atalumbira ku Mizipa kuti, “Palibe mmodzi wa ife adzapereke mwana wake wamkazi kuti akwatiwe ndi mwamuna wa fuko la Benjamini.”
U A hoohiki mua na kanaka o ka Iseraela ma Mizepa, i ae la, Aole e haawi kekahi o lakou i kana kaikamahine i wahine na ka Beniamina.
2 Anthu anapita ku Beteli kumene anakakhala pansi pamaso pa Mulungu mpaka madzulo. Iwo anakweza mawu nalira kwambiri.
Hele mai la na kanaka i ka hale o ke Akua, noho iho la malaila a ahiahi imua i ke alo o ke Akua, hookiekie ae la i ko lakou leo, a uwe nui iho la.

I iho la, E Iehova, e ke Akua o Iseraela e, no ke aha la i hiki mai ai keia iloko o ka Iseraela, i nalowale kekahi ohana maloko o ka Iseraela i keia la?
4 Mmawa mwake anthu anadzuka namanga guwa lansembe ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano.
Ia la iho, ala mai na kanaka i kakahiaka nui, a hana iho la i lele a kaumaha aku la i na mohai kuni, a me na mohai hoomalu.
5 Kenaka Aisraeli anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndani pakati pa mafuko a Israeli sanafike ku msonkhano wa Yehova?” Anatero chifukwa anachita malumbiro aakulu okhudza munthu amene alephere kupita ku Mizipa ndi kuti woteroyo ayenera kuphedwa.

6 Tsono Aisraeli anamva chisoni chifukwa cha abale awo, Abenjamini. Iwo anati, “Lero fuko limodzi lachotsedwa mu Israeli.
Minamina iho la na mamo a Iseraela i ka Beniamina, i ko lakou kaikaina, i ae la, I keia la, ua moku aku la kekahi ohana mai ka Iseraela aku.
7 Kodi tingawapezere bwanji anthu otsalawa akazi woti awakwatire? Paja ife tinalumbira kwa Yehova kuti sitidzapereka ana anthu aakazi kuti awakwatire.
Pehea la kakou e hana'i, i loaa na wahine i ka poe i koe o lakou? No ka mea, ua hoohiki kakou ia Iehova, e haawi ole kakou i ka kakou mau kaikamahine, i wahine na lakou.
8 Kenaka anafunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mu fuko la Israeli ndani amene sanabwere pamaso pa Yehova ku Mizipa?’” Tsono panapezeka kuti panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wochokera ku Yabesi Giliyadi amene anapita ku msonkhano ku misasa kuja.
Ninau aku la lakou, Owai kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela, i pii ole mai i Mizepa ia Iehova? Aia hoi, aohe mea i hele mai o na kanaka o Iabesa Gileada i ka ahakanaka i kahi hoomoana'i.
9 Pamene anthu anawerengana anangoona kuti anthu a ku Yabesi Giliyadi palibe.
A heluia na kanaka, aia hoi, aole malaila kekahi o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada.
10 Choncho msonkhano unatumiza anthu ankhondo 12,000 ndi kuwalamula kuti, “Mukaphe anthu onse okhala ku Yabesi Giliyadi, kuphatikizapo akazi ndi ana.”
Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka i umikumamalua tausani kanaka, o ka poe koa loa, a kauoha aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E hele, e luku i kanaka o Iabesa Gileada, me ka maka o ka pahikaua, i na wahine a me na keiki.
11 Izi ndi zimene mukachite. “Mukaphe mwamuna aliyense ndi mkazi aliyense amene anadziwapo mwamuna.”
Eia ka mea a oukou e hana'i. E luku loa oukou i na kane a pau a me na wahine a pau i ike i ka moe ana i ke kane.
12 Iwo anapeza atsikana 400 pakati pa anthu okhala mu Yabesi Giliyadi amene anali asanadziwepo mwamuna ndipo anabwera nawo ku misasa ku Silo mʼdziko la Kanaani.
A loaa ia lakou maloko o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada, eha haneri kaikamahine puupaa i ike ole i ka moe kane ana. A lawe mai lakou ia poe i kahi hoomoana ai ma Silo, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
13 Kenaka msonkhano wonse unatumiza uthenga kwa Abenjamini amene ankakhala ku thanthwe la Rimoni kuwawuza kuti nkhondo yatha.
Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka a pau, olelo aku la i na mamo a Beniamina, ma ka pohaku o Rimona, a hai aku la i ka malu ia lakou.
14 Choncho Abenjamini anabwera nthawi imeneyo ndipo Aisraeli anawapatsa akazi a ku Yabesi Giliyadi amene sanaphedwe. Koma sanapezeke owakwanira.
Hoi mai la ka Beniamina ia manawa, a haawi mai la kela poe ia lakou nei i wahine na lakou i ka poe a lakou i hoola'i ma Iabesa Gileada; aole hoi i lawa ia lakou.
15 Aisraeli anamvera chisoni Abenjamini, chifukwa Yehova anachita ngati waligwerula dzino fuko la Israeli.
Minamina iho la na kanaka i ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hookahuliia e Iehova kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela.
16 Choncho akuluakulu a msonkhano anati, “Kodi tikawapezera kuti akazi anthu otsalirawa kuti awakwatire popeza kuti akazi a fuko la Benjamini anaphedwa?”
Alaila, olelo iho la na lunakahiko i ka ahakanaka, Heaha ka makou e hana'i, i loaa'i na wahine i ka poe o lakou i koe? No ka mea, ua lukuia na wahine o ka Beniamina.
17 Iwo anati, “Abenjamini amene anapulumukawa ayenera kukhala ndi zidzukulu, kuti mtundu wa Israeli usafafanizike.
I iho la lakou, I ainahooili no ka poe i pakele o Beniamina, i anai ole ia kekahi ohana, mailoko aku o ka Iseraela.
18 Ife sitingathe kuwapatsa ana anthu aakazi kuti akwatire. Paja tinalumbira kuti, ‘Akhale wotembereredwa aliyense amene adzapereka mwana wake wamkazi kwa mwamuna wa fuko la Benjamini kuti akwatire.’
Aka, aole hiki ia kakou ke haawi i ka kakou mau kaikamahine iho, i wahine na lakou; no ka mea, ua hoohiki na mamo a Iseraela me ka olelo iho, E ahewaia ka mea nana e haawi aku i wahine na ka Beniamina.
19 Ndipo anati, ‘Paja ku Silo kuli chikondwerero cha chaka ndi chaka cholemekeza Yehova. Tsono Silo ali kumpoto kwa Beteli, kummawa kwa msewu wochokera ku Beteli kupita ku Sekemu, ndiponso kummwera kwa Lebona.’”
Olelo iho la lakou, Aia hoi, he ahaaina ko Iehova i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki, ma Silo, ma ka aoao akau o Betelehema, a ma ka aoao hikina o ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai, mai Betela i Sekema, a ma ka aoao hema hoi o Lebona.
20 Choncho anawalamulira Abenjamini aja kuti, “Pitani mukabisale mʼminda ya mpesa
Alaila, kauoha aku la lakou i na mamo a Beniamina, i aku la, O hele a moe malu ma na pawaina;
21 ndipo mukakhale tcheru. Ana aakazi a ku Silo akadzatulukira kudzavina nawo magule, pomwepo inu mutuluke minda ya mpesa ndi kukawagwira aliyense wake ndi kupita nawo ku dziko la Benjamini.
E nana oukou, aia hele mai na kaikamahine o Silo e hula ma na hula, alaila e hele mai oukou, mailoko mai o na pawaina, a e hopu kela kanaka keia kanaka i wahine nana, no ka kaikamahine o Silo, a e hoi i ka aina o Beniamina.
22 Ngati abambo awo kapena alongo awo adzabwera kudzadandaula kwa ife, tidzawawuza kuti, ‘Chonde, tikomereni mtima powalola kuti atenga ana anu aakaziwo popeza kuti ife sitinawapezere akazi pomenya nkhondo. Inunso simunachite kuwapatsa. Mukanatero ndiye mukanapalamula.’”
A hiki i ka manawa, e hele mai ai io kakou nei, ko lakou mau makuakane, a o ko lakou mau kaikunane paha, e hoopii mai, alaila, e olelo makou ia lakou, E lokomaikai mai oukou ia makou, ma o lakou la; no ka mea, aole makou i malama i wahine na kela kanaka keia kanaka, ma ke kaua ana, aole hoi oukou i haawi na lakou i keia wa, i mea e hewa ai oukou.
23 Abenjamini anachitadi zimenezi. Mwa akazi amene ankavina aja anagwirapo ena, malingana ndi chiwerengero chawo, nawatenga kuti akhale akazi awo. Kenaka ananyamuka kubwerera ku dziko la kwawo, nakamanganso mizinda yawo ndi kumakhalamo.
A hana iho la na mamo a Beniamina pela, a lawe i na wahine a lakou i hopu ai ma ke kula, e like me ko lakou helu ana. A hele lakou, a hoi aku i ko lakou aina, a hoomakaukau hou i na kulanakauhale, a noho iho la malaila.
24 Pambuyo pake Aisraeli anachoka kumeneko ndi kubwerera kwawo, ku mafuko ndi ku mabanja awo, aliyense ku dera la cholowa chake.
Ia manawa, hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, mailaila aku, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina iho, a i kona hoahanau, a malaila aku lakou i hele ai, o kela kanaka, keia kanaka, i kona ainahooili iho.
25 Masiku amenewo kunalibe mfumu ku Israeli. Aliyense ankangochita zimene zomukomera yekha.
Ia manawa, aohe alii ma ka Iseraela; hana iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea i pono ma kona mau maka.
