< Judges 21 >

1 Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “Not one of us will give his daughter in marriage to a Benjamite.”
Isala: ili dunu da Misiba moilaiga musa: gilisiliba, ilia da Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, gasa bagade sema hamosu, amane, “Ninia uda mano amo Bediamini dunu da hamedafa lamu.”
2 So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, lifting up their voices and weeping bitterly.
Amalalu, ilia da Bedele moilaiga asili, amola Gode ba: ma: ne eso amo ganodini fili, asili daeya ha: giwane didiga: lalu.
3 “Why, O LORD God of Israel,” they cried out, “has this happened in Israel? Today in Israel one tribe is missing!”
Ilia amane disu, “Isala: ili Hina Gode! Amo hou da abuliba: le doaga: bela: ? Abuliba: le Bediamini fi da Isala: ili sogega gadenenewane fisi dagoi ba: sala: ?”
4 The next day the people got up early, built an altar there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Golale, hahabedafa ilia da gilisili Hahawane Gilisili Olofole gobele salasu amola ohe hodo amo oloda, ilia hamoi, amo da: iya gogo gobele sali.
5 The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah would surely be put to death.
Ilia da amane adole ba: i, “Isala: ili fi amo ganodini, sosogo fi afae da Misiba sogega Godema gilisisu amoga hame misibala: ?” (Ilia da musa: gasa bagade sema hamosu. Amo nowa fi da Misiba moilai gilisisu amoga hame misi ganiaba, ilia da amo dunu ili medole legela: loba.)
6 And the Israelites grieved for their brothers, the Benjamites, and said, “Today a tribe is cut off from Israel.
Isala: ili dunu da bu ilia olalali Bediamini dunu ilima asigi galu. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Wali eso, Isala: ili fi afadafa da fisi dagoi.
7 What should we do about wives for the survivors, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”
Ninia da Bediamini dunu esala, amoga uda ima: ne adi hamoma: bela: ? Bai ninia Hina Godema sema bagade hamoi dagoi, amo ninia uda mano ilima hamedafa imunu.”
8 So they asked, “Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah?” And, in fact, no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp for the assembly.
Ilia da nowa gilisisu da Misiba gilisisuga hame misi, amo adole ba: loba, dunu da Ya: ibese moilai Gilia: de soge ganodini esalu, amo da hame misi ilia da nabi.
9 For when the people were counted, none of the residents of Jabesh-gilead were there.
Amola ilia da dadi gagui gilisima: ne dio wele sia: noba, Ya: ibese dunu da hame misi.
10 So the congregation sent 12,000 of their most valiant men and commanded them: “Go and put to the sword those living in Jabesh-gilead, including women and children.
Amaiba: le, ilia da 1,200 gasa bagade dunu amo Ya: ibese moilaiga asunasi. Ilia da ilima amane sia: i, “Ya: ibese dunu huluane, uda amola mano medole legema.
11 This is what you are to do: Devote to destruction every male, as well as every female who has had relations with a man.”
Dunu huluane, dunu mano amola uda huluane amo da dunuma fi, amo huluane medole legema.”
12 So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young women who had not had relations with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
Ya: ibese moilai ganodini, ilia da a: fini amola uda mano amo da dunuma hame gilisili golai, 400 agoane ba: i. Ilia da amo Siailou abula moilai Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini, amoga oule misi.
13 Then the whole congregation sent a message of peace to the Benjamites who were at the rock of Rimmon.
Amalalu, Isala: ili gilisisu da Bediamini dunu amo da Limone Gelega esalu, ilima sia: adole iasi. Ilia da gegesu fisili, olofole gousa: su hamoma: ne sia: i.
14 And at that time the Benjamites returned and were given the women who were spared from Jabesh-gilead. But there were not enough women for all of them.
Bediamini dunu da bu misini, Isala: ili fi eno da Ya: ibese uda mano ilia hame medole legei amo ilima i. Be ilima iabe idi da defele hame ba: i.
15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilia habelegele fi afadafa, amo da afafai dagoiba: le, ilia da Bediamini dunuma asigi galu.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do about wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?”
Amaiba: le, ilia ouligisu dunu da amane sia: i, “Uda eno da Bediamini fi ganodini hame esala. Ninia da habodane ilia uda lamusa: ilima ima: bela: ?
17 They added, “There must be heirs for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe of Israel will not be wiped out.
Isala: ili da fi fagoyale gala. Afadafa fisimu da hamedei. Bediamini fi esaloma: ne, ninia logo hogoi helemu da defea.
18 But we cannot give them our daughters as wives.” For the Israelites had sworn, “Cursed is he who gives a wife to a Benjamite.”
Be ilia da ninia uda mano lamu da hamedei. Bai ninia da sema bagade hamoi. Nowa da ea uda mano Bediamini dunuma iasea, ninia da ema gagabusu aligima: ne ilegei dagoi.”
19 “But look,” they said, “there is a yearly feast to the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel east of the road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”
Amalalu, ilia da agoane dawa: i, “Hina Gode Ea Lolo Nasu Siailou moilaiga da gadenesa galebe.” (Siailou da Bedelehemega gagoe (north) gala. E da Lebouna amoga gagoe (south) amola logo amo da Bedele fisili Siegeme doaga: sa amo ea eso mabe la: idiga gala.)
20 So they commanded the Benjamites: “Go, hide in the vineyards
Ilia da Bediamini dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia waini efe sogebi amo ganodini wamoaligili, ouesaloma.
21 and watch. When you see the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, each of you is to come out of the vineyards, catch for himself a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Siailou a: fini ilia da lolo nasu ganodini gosa: musa: masea, dilia waini efe aligisu fisili, dilia afae afae uda lamusa: ha: giwane gagulaligima. Amola amo uda dilia Bediamini sogega bu oule masa.
22 When their fathers or brothers come to us to complain, we will tell them, ‘Do us a favor by helping them, since we did not get wives for each of them in the war. Since you did not actually give them your daughters, you have no guilt.’”
Be ilia eda o olalali da dilima sia: ga gegemusa: masea, ilima amane sia: ma, ‘Ninia da amo a: fini ili lamu da defeala: ? Bai ninia da gegesu ganodini amo a: fini hame lai. Amola dilia da amo uda mano ninima udigili hame iba: le, dilia sema hamoi amo hame wadela: lesiba: le, gagabusu aligima: ne dilima hame dialumu.’”
23 The Benjamites did as instructed and carried away the number of women they needed from the dancers they caught. They went back to their own inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and settled in them.
Bediamini dunu da ilia sia: i defele hamoi. Ilia da afae afae Siailou a: fini amo da siogolalu amo lale, gisawane asi. Ilia da ilia sogega asili, ilia moilai bu gaguli, fi galu.
24 And at that time, each of the Israelites returned from there to his own tribe and clan, each to his own inheritance.
Amola Isala: ili fi dunu eno da fisili asili, ilia fi amola sosogo fi da ilia sogedafa amoga buhagi.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
Amo esoha, Isala: ili soge ganodini da hina bagade dunu hame esalu. Dunu huluane da afae afae hi hanaiga fawane hamosu. Sia: Ama Dagoi
