Jongʼad Bura 20
1 Eka jo-Israel duto chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba, kaachiel gi joma oa e piny jo-Gilead nowuok kaka oganda achiel ma gichokore Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.
2 Jotend dhout Israel duto nokawo keregi e chokruok mar jo-Nyasaye, jolweny alufu mia angʼwen man-gi ligangla.
And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 Jo-Benjamin nowinjo ni jo-Israel nosedhi nyaka Mizpa. Eka jo-Israel nowacho niya, “Nyiswane kaka gima lichni notimore.”
And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
4 Omiyo ja-Lawino, ma chwor dhako mane onegi, nowacho niya, “Ne adhi Gibea man Benjamin kaachiel gi chiega mondo wabuor kanyo.
Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 E otienono chwo ma Gibea noluwo bangʼa ma gilworo ot, ka gin giparo mar nega. Negiterore gi chiega githuon, mi otho.
And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died.
6 Bangʼe ne akawo ringre chiegano, mi apogee matindo tindo kendo aoro lembe ne dhoudi duto mag Israel kaka girkeni, nikech jogi notimo tim machachni kendo mar anjawo e piny Israel.
Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel.
7 Koro, un jo-Israel duto, wuouru kendo ungʼad bura e wachni.”
Behold, all ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
8 Ji duto nochungʼ mowuoyo gi dwol achiel niya, “Onge ngʼato kuomwa ka mabiro dhi dala. Ooyo, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomwa madok e ode.
And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house.
9 To koro ma e gima wabiro timo ne Gibea: Wabiro kedo kodgi kaka ombulu owacho.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
10 Wabiro kawo chwo apar kuom chwo mia achiel moa e dhout Israel, kendo chwo mia achiel kuom ji alufu achiel, kendo alufu achiel kuom ji alufu apar, mondo ochiwre ne konyo jolweny. Bangʼ, ka jolweny osechopo Gibea man Benjamin, ginyalo kedo kodgi kaluwore gi tim marach mane gisetimone Israel.”
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Omiyo jo-Israel nochokore kanyakla ma giriwore gibedo gimoro achiel ka gikedo gi dala maduongʼno.
And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 Dhout Israel nooro ji e dhout Benjamin duto, kawacho niya, “Mano en tim marach manade mosetim e dieruni?
And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you?
13 Koro chiwuru jo-Gibea ma timbegi monogo mondo mi waneg-gi kendo mondo wapwodh richoni e kind Israel.” To jo-Benjamin ne ok owinjo jowetegi ma jo-Israel.
And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But [the children of] Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 Ne giwuok e miechgi kanyakla nyaka Gibea mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 Gisano sano jo-Benjamin nochoko joma nigi ligangla alufu piero ariyo gauchiel koa e miechgi, koriw gi joma oyier mia abiriyo modak Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 To kuom jolwenygo duto mane oyier ne nitie ji mia abiriyo ma rochembe manyalo bayo orujre, ma moro ka moro ne nyalo bayo orujre ma goo yier wich ma ok obayo.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
17 Jo-Israel, ka iweyo jo-Benjamin oko, ne nitiere gi jo-ligangla alufu mia angʼwen, giduto ne gin jokedo.
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Jo-Israel nodhi nyaka Bethel kendo gimanyo wangʼ Nyasaye. Negiwacho niya, “En dhoot mane kuomwa mabiro dhi mokwongo mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Jo-Juda biro dhi mokwongo.”
And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
19 Kinyne jo-Israel nowuok kendo ne gibworo but Gibea.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Jo-Israel nowuok mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi mag kedo gi jo-Benjamin e piny Gibea.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 Jo-Benjamin nowuok Gibea kendo neginego jo-Israel alufu piero ariyo gariyo e paw kedo odiechiengno.
And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 To jo-Israel nojiwore kendgi giwegi kendo negichako giriedo jolwenjgi kaka negisetimo chiengʼ mokwongo.
And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
23 Jo-Israel nodok moywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka odhiambo, kendo negimanyo wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negiwacho niya, “Bende wanyalo dhi kendo mondo waked gi jo-Benjamin, owetewa?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhi uked kodgi.”
And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
24 Eka jo-Israel nosudo machiegni gi jo-Benjamin e odiechiengʼ mar ariyo.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 E kindeno, ka jo-Benjamin noa Gibea mondo oked kodgi, negichako ginego kendo jo-Israel alufu apar gaboro, ma duto ne nigi ligangla.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
26 Eka jo-Israel duto nodok Bethel, kendo negibet piny kanyo ka giywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Ne giriyo kech ka gilemo chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo kendo negichiwo misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mar lalruok ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
27 Kendo jo-Israel nodwaro wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. (E ndalogo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye ne ni kanyo,
And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 ka Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun, ne jadolo mare.) Negipenjo niya, “Bende wanyalo kedo gi Benjamin ma owadwa, koso kik watim kamano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwokogi niya, “Dhiuru kinyne anachiwgi e lwetu.”
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand.
29 Eka jo-Israel nopondo machiegni gi Gibea.
And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
30 Negidhi mondo giked gi jo-Benjamin chiengʼ mar adek kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi Gibea mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
31 Kane jo-Benjamin nowuok mondo orom kodgi negiywayogi mabor gi dala maduongʼ. Negichako nego jo-Israel mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo, omiyo ji piero adek notho e pap kod e yore; ma achiel dhi Bethel, machielo to dhi Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 Kane jo-Benjamin ne pod wacho niya, “Walogi kaka pile,” to jo-Israel ne wacho niya, “Wadoguru chien mondo wagolgi e dala maduongʼ ka wachiko kodgi wangʼ yore.”
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways.
33 Jo-Israel duto nowuok kuonde mane gipondoe moriedo jolwenjgi Baal Tamar, kendo jo-Israelgo nochako kedo koa yo podho chiengʼ mar Gibea.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba.
34 Eka jo-Israel alufu apar man-gi lony kuom lweny nomonjo Gibea gi e yo ka nyimgi. Lwenygi ne tek ma jo-Benjamin ne ok ofwenyo ni masira biro tiekogi.
And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them.
35 Jehova Nyasaye noloyo jo-Benjamin e nyim Israel kendo odiechiengno jo-Israel nonego jo-Benjamin alufu piero gabich gi mia achiel man-gi ligangla.
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 Omiyo jo-Benjamin nongʼeyo ni oloogi. Jo-Israel ne ringo e nyim jo-Benjamin mondo oywagi, nikech negingʼeyo ni jolwenjgi mane opondo but Gibea biro konyogi.
And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. — And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
37 Jogo mane osebedo kopondo nodonjo Gibea apoya nono, ka gikere koni gi koni ma ginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla.
And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
38 Jo-Israel ne osewinjore gi joma nopondo ni ka gineno iro madhwolore e dalano,
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 to gingʼe ni jo-Israel osechako lweny. Jo-Benjamin nosechako nego jo-Israel (madirom piero adek), kendo negiwacho niya, “Waseloyogi mana kaka ne waloyogi e lweny mokwongo.”
And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle.
40 To ka iro nochako dhwolore malo koa e dala maduongʼ, jo-Benjamin nolokore moneno ka iro madhwolore e dalano ochomo polo.
And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens.
41 Eka jo-Israel nopor kuomgi, kendo luoro nomako jo-Benjamin matek, nikech negifwenyo ni masira osechopo kuomgi.
Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them.
42 Omiyo negiringo gia e nyim jo-Israel ka gichiko yo thim, to ne ok ginyal tony ne lweny. Kendo jo-Israel mane oa e mier nonegogi kanyo.
And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst.
43 Negilworo jo-Benjamin, ka gilawogi mi gimakogi e alwora duto man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Gibea.
They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
44 Jo-Benjamin duto mane otho odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu apar gaboro.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
45 Joma notony noringo kochomo lwanda Rimon, to jo-Israel nonego ji alufu abich kuomgi e yo. Negidhi nyime ka giluwo bangʼ jo-Benjamin nyaka Gidom ma ginego ji alufu ariyo mamoko.
And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46 Jo-Benjamin duto mane oneg odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu piero ariyo gabich.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
47 To ji mia auchiel noringo mi gidhi e thim nyaka e lwanda mar Rimon, kama negidakie kuom dweche angʼwen.
And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
48 Jo-Israel noduogo chien momonjo jo-Benjamin mane odongʼ, mi ginegogi duto kaachiel gi jamni kod gimoro amora mane giyudo. Mier duto mane gineno e nyimgi ne giwangʼo.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.
