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 sons of Israel go out, and the congregation is assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, and the land of Gilead, to YHWH, at Mizpeh.
2 Jotend dhout Israel duto nokawo keregi e chokruok mar jo-Nyasaye, jolweny alufu mia angʼwen man-gi ligangla.
And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword.
3 Jo-Benjamin nowinjo ni jo-Israel nosedhi nyaka Mizpa. Eka jo-Israel nowacho niya, “Nyiswane kaka gima lichni notimore.”
And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, “Speak! How has this evil been?”
4 Omiyo ja-Lawino, ma chwor dhako mane onegi, nowacho niya, “Ne adhi Gibea man Benjamin kaachiel gi chiega mondo wabuor kanyo.
And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who has been murdered, answers and says, “My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which [is] of Benjamin, 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 masters of Gibeah rise against me—and they go around the house against me by night—they thought to slay me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she dies;
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.
and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have done wickedness and folly in Israel;
7 Koro, un jo-Israel duto, wuouru kendo ungʼad bura e wachni.”
behold, you [are] all sons of Israel; give for yourselves a word and counsel here.”
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 rise as one man, saying, “None of us goes to his tent, and none of us turns aside to his house;
9 To koro ma e gima wabiro timo ne Gibea: Wabiro kedo kodgi kaka ombulu owacho.
and now, this [is] the thing which we do to Gibeah: [we go up] against it by lot!
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 have taken ten men of one hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a myriad, to receive provision for the people, to do, at their coming to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which it has done in Israel.”
11 Omiyo jo-Israel nochokore kanyakla ma giriwore gibedo gimoro achiel ka gikedo gi dala maduongʼno.
And every man of Israel is gathered to the city, as one man—companions.
12 Dhout Israel nooro ji e dhout Benjamin duto, kawacho niya, “Mano en tim marach manade mosetim e dieruni?
And the tribes of Israel send men among all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, “What [is] this evil which has been 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—sons of worthlessness—which [are] in Gibeah, and we put them to death, and we put away evil from Israel.” And [the sons of] Benjamin have not been willing to listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel;
14 Ne giwuok e miechgi kanyakla nyaka Gibea mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
and the sons of Benjamin are gathered out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle with the sons 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 sons of Benjamin number themselves on that day; out of the cities [are] twenty-six thousand men drawing sword, apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah, [who] numbered themselves, 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 [are] seven hundred chosen men, their right hand bound, each of these slinging with a stone at the hair, and he does not err.
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 numbered themselves, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, drawing sword, each of these a man 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 they rise and go up to Beth-El, and ask of God, and the sons of Israel say, “Who goes up for us at the commencement to battle with the sons of Benjamin?” And YHWH says, “Judah—at the commencement.”
19 Kinyne jo-Israel nowuok kendo ne gibworo but Gibea.
And the sons of Israel rise in the morning, and encamp 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 go out to battle with Benjamin, and the men of Israel set themselves in array [for] battle with them, against Gibeah,
21 Jo-Benjamin nowuok Gibea kendo neginego jo-Israel alufu piero ariyo gariyo e paw kedo odiechiengno.
and the sons of Benjamin come out from Gibeah, and destroy twenty-two thousand men in Israel on that day—to the earth.
22 To jo-Israel nojiwore kendgi giwegi kendo negichako giriedo jolwenjgi kaka negisetimo chiengʼ mokwongo.
And the people, the men of Israel, strengthen themselves, and add to set in array [for] battle in the place where they arranged themselves on 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 sons of Israel go up and weep before YHWH until the evening, and ask of YHWH, saying, “Do I add to draw near to battle with the sons of my brother Benjamin?” And YHWH says, “Go up against him.”
24 Eka jo-Israel nosudo machiegni gi jo-Benjamin e odiechiengʼ mar ariyo.
And the sons of Israel draw near to the sons of Benjamin on 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 comes out to meet them from Gibeah on the second day, and destroy eighteen thousand men among the sons of Israel again—to the earth; all these are drawing 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.
And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and come to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before YHWH, and fast on that day until the evening, and cause burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend before YHWH.
27 Kendo jo-Israel nodwaro wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. (E ndalogo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye ne ni kanyo,
And the sons of Israel ask of YHWH—and the Ark of the Covenant of God [is] 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 son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, is standing before it in those days, saying, “Do I add to go out to battle again with the sons of my brother Benjamin, or do I cease?” And YHWH says, “Go up, for tomorrow I give him into your hand.”
29 Eka jo-Israel nopondo machiegni gi Gibea.
And Israel sets ones lying in wait against Gibeah, all around,
30 Negidhi mondo giked gi jo-Benjamin chiengʼ mar adek kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi Gibea mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo.
and the sons of Israel go up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day, and arrange themselves against Gibeah, as time by time.
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 sons of Benjamin come out to meet the people; they have been drawn away out of the city, and begin to strike [some] of the people—wounded as time by time—in the highways (of which one is going up to Beth-El, and the other to Gibeah in the field), [are] 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 sons of Benjamin say, “They are struck before us as at the beginning”; but the sons of Israel said, “Let us flee, and draw them away out of 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 have risen from their place, and arrange themselves at Ba‘al-Tamar, and the ambush of Israel is coming forth out of its place, out of the meadow of Gibeah.
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 they come in from the front against Gibeah—ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel—and the battle [is] grievous, and they have not known that the calamity is reaching toward 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 YHWH strikes Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroy in Benjamin, on that day, twenty-five thousand and one hundred men; all these [are] drawing 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 sons of Benjamin see that they have been struck—and the men of Israel give place to Benjamin, for they have trusted in the ambush which 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 has hurried, and pushes against Gibeah, and the ambush draws itself out, and strikes the whole of the city by the mouth of the sword.
38 Jo-Israel ne osewinjore gi joma nopondo ni ka gineno iro madhwolore e dalano,
And the appointed sign of the men of Israel with the ambush was their causing a great volume of smoke to go up from 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 the men of Israel turn in battle, and Benjamin has begun to strike the wounded among the men of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, “Surely they are utterly struck before us, as [at] 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.
but the volume has begun to go up from the city—a pillar of smoke—and Benjamin turns behind, and behold, the perfection of the city has gone up toward the heavens.
41 Eka jo-Israel nopor kuomgi, kendo luoro nomako jo-Benjamin matek, nikech negifwenyo ni masira osechopo kuomgi.
And the men of Israel have turned, and the men of Benjamin are troubled, for they have seen that the calamity has struck against 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 turn before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, and the battle has followed them; and those who [are] from the cities are destroying them in their midst;
43 Negilworo jo-Benjamin, ka gilawogi mi gimakogi e alwora duto man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Gibea.
they have surrounded the Benjamites—they have pursued them—they have trodden them down with ease as far as the front of Gibeah, at the sun-rising.
44 Jo-Benjamin duto mane otho odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu apar gaboro.
And eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fall—all these [were] men of valor;
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 turn and flee toward the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon; and they glean five thousand of their men in the highways, and follow after them to Gidom, and strike two thousand [more] of their men.
46 Jo-Benjamin duto mane oneg odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu piero ariyo gabich.
And all those falling of Benjamin are twenty-five thousand men drawing sword, on that day—all these [were] men of valor;
47 To ji mia auchiel noringo mi gidhi e thim nyaka e lwanda mar Rimon, kama negidakie kuom dweche angʼwen.
but six hundred men turn and flee into the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, and they dwell in the rock 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 have turned back to the sons of Benjamin, and strike them by the mouth of the sword out of the city—men even to livestock, even to all that is found; they have also sent all the cities which are found into the fire.
