< Judges 20 >

1 Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
Ket rimmuar dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel a kas maysa a tao, manipud Dan agingga iti Beerseba, agraman pay ti daga ti Galaad, ket naguummongda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Mizpa.
2 The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
Dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, napanda iti lugarda iti taripnong dagiti tattao ti Dios—400, 000 a lallaki a magmagna, a nakasagana a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.
3 (Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
Ita, nadamag dagiti tattao ti Benjamin a simmang-at dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Mizpa. Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel, “Ibagayo kadakami no kasano a napasamak daytoy a nadangkes a banag?”
4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
Insungbat ti Levita nga asawa ti babai a napapatay, “Nakagtengak idiay Gabaa iti masakupan iti Benjamin, siak ken ti kakabkabbalayko, tapno agpalabas iti rabii.
5 And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
Kabayatan iti rabii, rinautdak dagiti kakabagian ti Gabaa, linawlawda ti balay ket gandatdak a papatayen. Ginammatan ken kinaiddada ti kakabkabbalayko, ket natay isuna.
6 Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
Innalak ti kakabkabbalayko ket rinangrangkayko ti bagina, ket impatulodko dagitoy iti tunggal rehion iti tawid ti Israel, gapu ta nakaaramidda iti kasta a kinadangkes ken kinapalalo iti Israel.
7 Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
Ita, aminkayo nga Israelita, agsaokayo ket itedyo ti pammagbaga ken pangngeddengyo iti daytoy!”
8 Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
Timmakder dagiti amin a tattao a kas maysa a tao, ket kinunada, “Awan kadatayo ti mapan iti toldana ken awan kadatayo ti agsubli iti balayna!
9 Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
Ngem ita, daytoy ti masapul nga aramidentayo iti Gabaa: rautentayo daytoy segun iti iturturong kadatayo ti binnunotan.
10 We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
Mangalatayo iti sangapulo a lallaki manipud iti sangagasut kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, ken sangagasut manipud iti sangaribu, ken sangaribu manipud iti sangapulo a ribu, tapno mangala kadagiti taraon para kadagitoy a tattao, tapno inton makadanonda idiay Gabaa idiay Benjamin, dusaenda ida gapu iti kinadangkes nga inaramidda iti Israel.”
11 So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
Naguummong ngarud dagiti amin a soldado ti Israel a maibusor iti siudad, nagmaymaysada nga addaan iti maymaysa a panggep.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
Nangibaon dagiti tribu ti Israel kadagiti lallaki a mapan iti entero a tribu ti Benjamin, a kinunada, “Ania daytoy a kinadangkes a napasamak kadakayo?
13 Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
Iyawatyo ngarud kadakami dagidiay a nadangkes a lallaki ti Gabaa, tapno mapapataymi ida, ken tapno naan-anay a maikkatmi daytoy a kinadakes iti Israel.” Ngem saan a dimngeg dagiti Benjaminita iti timek dagiti kakabsatda a tattao ti Israel.
14 And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
Ket nagmaymaysa a rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Benjamin kadagiti siudad ket nagturongda idiay Gabaa tapno agsaganada a makigubat kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
15 On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
Inummong dagiti tattao ti Benjamin dagiti 26, 000 a nasanay a soldado a makigubat babaen iti kampilan manipud kadagiti siudadda; mainayon pay iti dayta a bilang ti pito gasut kadagiti napili a tattaoda manipud kadagiti agnanaed idiay Gabaa.
16 Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
Karaman kadagitoy amin a soldado ti pito gasut a napili a lallaki a pasig a kattigid; tunggal maysa kadakuada ket kabaelanna a pallatibongan ti maysa a buok ket saan nga agmintis.
17 The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
Dagiti soldado ti Israel, saan a naibilang dagiti nagapu iti Benjamin, ket 400, 000 a lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan. Amin dagitoy ket lallaki a mannakigubat.
18 The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
Nagrubbuat dagiti tattao ti Israel, simmang-atda idiay Betel, ket dimmawatda iti pammagbaga manipud iti Dios. Sinaludsodda, “Siasino ti umuna a mangraut kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin para kadakami?” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ti Juda ti umuna a rumaut.”
19 The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
Bimmangon dagiti tattao ti Israel iti agsapa ket sinangoda ti Gabaa ken nagsaganada a makigubat.
20 And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
Rimmuar dagiti soldado ti Israel tapno gubatenda ti Benjamin. Nagpuestoda idiay Gabaa a makigubat kadakuada.
21 And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
Rimmuar dagiti soldado ti Benjamin idiay Gabaa, ket pinatayda ti 22, 000 a lallaki iti armada ti Israel iti dayta nga aldaw.
22 But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
Ngem pinapigsa dagiti soldado ti Israel dagiti bagbagida, ket nagpuestoda manen iti isu met laeng a lugar a nagpuestoanda iti umuna nga aldaw.
23 They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
Ket simmang-at dagiti tattao ti Israel ket nagmalmalem a nagdungdung-awda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh. Ket dimmawatda iti panangidalan manipud kenni Yahweh, “Rumbeng kadi nga umasidegkami manen a makigubat kadagiti kakabsatmi, dagiti tattao ti Benjamin?” Ket kinuna ni Yahweh, “Rautenyo ida!”
24 On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
Napan ngarud nakiranget dagiti soldado ti Israel kadagiti soldado ti Benjamin iti maikadua nga aldaw.
25 That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
Iti maikadua nga aldaw, rimmuar manipud Gabaa ti Benjamin a maibusor kadakuada ket napapatayda ti 18, 000 a lallaki manipud kadagiti soldado ti Israel. Aminda ket lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.
26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
Ket simmang-at idiay Betel dagiti amin a soldado ti Israel, ken dagiti amin a tattao ket nagsangitda, ken nagtugawda sadiay iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken nagayunarda iti dayta nga aldaw agingga iti rabii, ken nagidatonda kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti daton a pakikappia iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
Nagsaludsod dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh, —ta adda sadiay ti lakasa ti tulag ti Dios kadagidiay nga aldaw,
28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
ket agserserbi ni Finees a putot a lalaki ni Eleazar a putot a lalaki ni Aaron iti sangoanan ti lakasa ti tulag kadagidiay nga aldaw—”Rumbeng kadi a rummuarkami a mapan makigubat iti maminsan pay kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin a kakabsatmi, wenno isardengmin?” Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Rumautkayo, ta inton bigat tulongankayo a mangparmek kadakuada.”
29 So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
Nangipuesto ngarud ti Israel kadagiti lallaki kadagiti nalimed a luglugar iti aglawlaw ti Gabaa.
30 On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
Nakiranget dagiti soldado ti Israel kadagiti soldado ti Benjamin iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ket nagpuestoda a maibusor iti Gabaa a kas iti inaramidda iti napalabas.
31 The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
Napan nakiranget dagiti tattao ti Benjamin kadagiti tattao Israel, ket naiyadayoda iti siudad. Rinugianda a papatayen iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Adda natay nga agarup tallu pulo a lallaki ti Israel kadagiti talon ken kadagiti dalan—maysa kadagiti dalan ket sumang-at idiay Betel, ken ti maysa ket agturong idiay Gabaa.
32 “We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
Ket kinuna dagiti tattao ti Benjamin, “Naabakdan ket itartarayandatayon, a kas idi damo.” Ngem kinuna dagiti soldado ti Israel, “Agsublitayo ket iyadayotayo ida manipud iti siudad agingga kadagiti kalsada.”
33 So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
Rimmuar dagiti amin a soldado ti Israel kadagiti lugarda ket nagpuestoda a makigubat idiay Baal Tamar. Kalpasanna, rimmuar dagiti soldado ti Israel nga aglemlemmeng kadagiti nalimed a luglugar a nagpuestoanda idiay Maare Gabaa.
34 Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
Dimteng a maibusor iti Gabaa ti 10, 000 a napili a lallaki manipud iti entero nga Israel, nakaro ti panagririnnangetda, ngem saan nga ammo dagiti Benjaminita nga asidegen ti didigra kadakuada.
35 The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
Pinarmek ni Yahweh ti Benjamin iti sangoanan ti Israel. Iti dayta nga aldaw, napapatay dagiti soldado ti Israel ti 25, 100 a lallaki ti Benjamin. Amin dagitoy a napapatay ket dagiti nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan.
36 Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
Ket nakita dagiti soldado ti Benjamin a naparmekdan. Inggagara nga intarayan dagiti lallaki ti Israel ti Benjamin gapu ta mangnamnamada kadagiti lallaki a pinagpuestoda kadagiti nalimed a lugar iti ruar ti Gabaa.
37 The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
Ket nagdardaras a timmakder dagiti lallaki nga aglemlemmeng ken inalistoanda ti napan idiay Gabaa, ken pinatayda ti tunggal maysa nga agnanaed iti siudad babaen kadagiti kampilanda.
38 The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
Ita, ti nagtutulagan a pagilasinan iti nagbaetan dagiti soldado ti Israel ken dagiti lallaki nga aglemlemmeng iti nalimed ket addanto ti napuskol nga asuk nga agpangato manipud iti siudad—
39 the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
—ket umadayonto dagiti soldado ti Israel iti paggugubatan. Ita, rinugian ti Benjamin ti nangraut ket napapatayda ti agarup tallopulo a lallaki ti Israel, ket kinunada, “Awan duadua a naparmekda iti sangoanantayo, a kas iti umuna a gubat.”
40 But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
Ngem idi mangrugin nga agpangato ti asuk manipud iti siudad, timalliaw dagiti Benjaminita ket nakitada ti asuk nga agpangpangato manipud iti entero a siudad.
41 Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
Ket sinublian ida dagiti soldado ti Israel. Nagbuteng dagiti lallaki ti Benjamin ta nakitada a dimtengen ti didigra kadakuada.
42 So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
Isu nga intarayanda dagiti soldado ti Israel, naglibasda iti dalan a mapan idiay let-ang. Ngem kinamat ida ti panagraranget. Rimmuar dagiti soldado ti Israel kadagiti siudad ket pinatayda ida iti nagtakderanda.
43 They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
Pinalawlawanda dagiti Benjaminita ken kinamatda ida; ket binaddebaddekanda ida idiay Noha, ket pinatayda amin ida iti dalan agingga iti daya a paset ti Gabaa.
44 And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
Manipud iti tribu ti Benjamin, 18, 000 a soldado ti napapatay, aminda ket lallaki a mabigbigbig iti pannakigubat.
45 Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
Naglikkoda ket naglibasda a nagturong iti let-ang iti bato ti Rimmon. Pinatay dagiti Israelita ti lima ribu pay kadakuada kadagiti kalsada. Nagtultuloy a kinamkamatda ida, nainget a sinursurotda ida agingga iti dalan nga agpa-Gidom, ket napapatayda pay sadiay ti dua a ribu.
46 That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
25, 000 amin ti soldado ti Benjamin a napasag iti dayta nga aldaw— lallaki a nasanay a makigubat babaen iti kampilan; aminda ket mabigbigbig a mannakigubat.
47 But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
Ngem 600 a lallaki ti naglikko ken naglibas a napan idiay let-ang, nagturongda iti bato ti Rimmon. Ket nagtalinaedda iti bato ti Rimmon iti uppat a bulan.
48 And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
Sinublianan dagiti soldado ti Israel dagiti tattao ti Benjamin ket rinaut ken pinatayda ida—ti entero a siudad, dagiti taraken, ken amin a banag a nasarakanda. Ken pinuoranda ti tunggal ili a malabsanda.
