Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
Hiche jouhin Israel chate jouse Dan napat Beersheba, chuleh Gilead gam changeijin ahung kikhom uvin, mikhat seh seh tobang'in lungkhat tah in ading hom’un ahi. Mipite chu Pakai angsungah Mizpah munnah akikhomsoh keijun ahi.
2 And all the tribes of Israel stood before the Lord in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
Israel phungho jouse leh mipiho jouse lah a lamkaiho chu Pathen mite kikhopna chun apangun chule chemjam lamthei sepaiho chu sang ail alhingun ahi.
3 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Massepha: and the children of Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
Alangkhat nah Benjamin mite chun Israel phungdang ho jouse chu Mizpah a akikhom taove tichu ajatauvin ahi. Hichun Israel mipichun hitobang thilmelse tah hi iti hung kipan ham tin adong tauvin ahi.
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa of Benjamin to lodge.
Ajinu athapeh pau Levi pachun ahinseitai, “Kathaikemnu le keima hin jan-geh dinga Benjamin mite khopi Gibeah a kache lhonnin ahi.
5 And the men of Gabaa rose up against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to kill me, and they have humbled my concubine, and she is dead.
Hiche jan chun Gibeah mite chun kagena inchu aumkim vellun keima thading eigouvin ajonan kathaikemnuhi jankhovah in kichepnan aneiyun amanu athilotai.
6 And I laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and abomination in Israel.
Hijeh chun keiman kathaikemnu tahsa hi boh somle bohni kaso’a Israel phung somleh phungni hi kahinthot ahi. Ajeh chu hiche mite hin melsetah a hitobang gitlou nahi atohdoh u ahi.
7 Behold, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here amongst yourselves.
Tun nangho nabonchaovin Israel mipite jousen iloding natiuvem geltauvin,” ati.
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us shall return to his house.
Hichun mipite chu abonchaovin thakhat tah in adingdohsoh keijun asamtaove, “Eiho koimacha in na ikile theilou diu ahi!
9 And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
Amavang eihon tuahi Gibeah mite hitia hi igabol diu ahi, koipennin ikisatpi masat diuham vang isandiu ahi.
10 Moreover we will take ten men for a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which they wrought in Israel.
Iphung jouseuva hi somlah a khatcheh galsat ho nehle chah thah le a pangding, adangsen Gibeah chunga hi phu ilah teidiu ahi, ajeh chun Benjamin mite hin Israel insunga hibang tah a hi jumna atohdoh u ahitai” atiuve.
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one man.
Hitichun Israel pumpi chu abonchaovin akilungkhat un hiche khopi sat dingin akikhom sohtauvin ahi.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What [is] this wickedness that has been wrought amongst you?
Israelten Benjamin mite komma chun thupole ho asol’un amaho chun, “Itobang lomma nangho hin hitobang thilsehi naboldoh u hitam?
13 Now then give up the men the sons of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented not to listen to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
Gibeah khoa konna hitobang mi engse miphalou hochu neihin pedoh un keihon amaho chu that uvingting Israel lah thilsehi suhthengna nei uvinge” atiuve. Ahinlah Benjamin ten anahsah pouvin ahi.
14 And the children of Benjamin were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the children of Israel.
Hiche enghot nachun, amaho akhopi cheh uva kon in Gibeah munnah Israel satdingin ahung kikhom tauvin ahi.
15 And the children of Benjamin from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, [every] man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
Abonchaovin chemjam lamthei cheh sangsomni le gup alhingun amaho chu Gibeah ahunglhung tauvin ahi. Amahohi khopi sunga ana umsa thepna giltah nei mi jasagi aum’un ahi.
16 All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
Benjamin lah a thepna giltah nei epia jasagi hohi aveilang cheh ahiuvin, amaho hin songsena bomma song apeijuleh samjang jengjong sepka thei sepkhel lou hel cheh ahiuve.
17 And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these [were] men of war.
Israel langa Benjamin galmiho simlouvin chemjam kichoija galsat theicheh sangjali alhingun ahi.
18 And they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
Galkisat masangin Israelte chu Bethel’ah acheuvin Pathen agadongun, “Benjamin mipite khu gasat dinga koiphung pen kache masat diuham?” atiuve. Pakaiyin ahin donbutnin “Judah masading ahi” ati.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
Hijeh chun Israelte chu matah in athouvun Gibeah kommah panmun asem taove.
20 And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
Hijouchun Benjamin mitechu sat dingin Gibeah ana jon tauvin ahi.
21 And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.
Ahinlah akhopiu ngah’a pang Benjamin galmi hochun ahungpot doh un hiche nichun galkisatna munna chun Israelte sangsomni le sang ni athat tauvin ahi.
22 And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on the first day.
Ahinlah Israelte chu khatle khat akitil touvin animasa a akisatnao mun mama achun pan alakit tauvin ahi.
23 And the children of Israel went up, and wept before the Lord till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
Ajeh chu amaho anache uva Bethel’a Pakai angsunga nilhahgeija gakapmuva hitiahi Pakai agadoh u ahi, “Keiho kache kitnuva Benjamin tehi kagasat kitdiu ham?” aga tiuve. Pakaiyin “Cheuvin lang amaho khu gaki satpi kitnun” atipeh in ahi.
24 And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
Hijeh chun amaho ajingchun apotdoh kitnun Benjamin mitechu agakisatpi kit un ahi.
25 And the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew sword.
Ahin Benjamin mite chun chemjam choija galsatje themcheh Israelte chu sangsom le sang get anathat kit’un ahi.
26 And the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices, before the Lord,
Hiche jehchun Israelte abonchaovin acheuvin Bethel’ah anngol pummin nilhah geijin Pakai angah agakap un ahi. Amahon Pakai angah pumgo thilto leh chamna thilto jong abol'un ahi.
27 for the ark of the Lord God [was] there in those days,
Israelte chu Pakai kommah acheuvin “I-katidiu hitam?” tin aga dongun ahi. ( Hichelai achu Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Bethel munna umma ahi
28 and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up, to-morrow I will give them into your hands.
Chuleh Aaron thempupa tupa Eleazer chapa Phinehas chu thempu hija ahi) Israelten Pakai adongun keihon kasopiteu Benjamin mitehi kasat kit ding uham ahilouleh kasatda diu hitam?” atiuvin ahi. “Jingleh che kitnun Keiman amaho khu nangho khutna kapehdoh ding ahitai,” tin Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
29 And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
Hijeh chun Israelte Gibeah kimvel jouse ah chun chaang apang tauvin ahi.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
Amaho chu anithum chan nin akondoh kit’un, chule masanga apansah namun uvah chun apansa kit un ahi.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to Baethel, and one to Gabaa in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Benjamin mite chu amaho kisatpi dinga ahungkon doh phat’un akhopi uva konchun ajoldoh tauvin ahi. Hiti chun amasa anabolna bang bang uchun Israel techu tollhang leh lamlen chungah, khatchu Bethel lang jotna khatchu Gibeah langa akinunglenao munnah mi somthum tobang athat tauvin ahi.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and they did so.
Hichun Benjamin epia hochun, “Eihon amasa bang bang chun ijoukit taove” tin asam’un ahi. Ahinla Israelte chu jamding chuleh Benjamin miten chun ahindel diu, chujongle hitia chu akhopi uva konna potdohsah nading thilgon amagon masat’u ahi.
33 And all the men rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
Israelte epia abulpi hochun Baal-tamar ahunglhun phat’un galsat nadingin panmun ahinlatoh tauvin ahi. Langkhat’ah Israelte Gibeah lhumlamma ana kisel hochu galsatdin akiselnaova kon in ahung chomdoh tauvin ahi.
34 And there came over against Gabaa ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight [was] severe; and they knew not that evil was coming upon them.
Israel epia lah a galsatna thempen hochu mi sangsom Gibeah khopi nokhum dingin asollut taovin ahi. Galkisat chu akhoh lheh jengin Benjamin ten amanthah nadiu ahilam akihet pouvin ahi.
35 And the Lord struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew sword.
Hitichun Pakaiyin Israel mite chu Benjamin mite chungah gal ajosah in hiche nikho chun Israelten Benjamin sepaite chemjamma galsatje themcheh sangsomni le sang nga le jakhat athatnun ahi.
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against Gabaa.
Hichun Benjamin ten gal aleldiu chu akimuchet tauvin ahi. Israelte chun Gibeah nokhum dinga changpanga akoihou chu akisonpi jeh un Benjamin epia hoa konchun anung chonnun ahi.
37 And when they retreated, then the liers in wait rose up, and they moved towards Gabaa, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.
Hijouchun ana changpang ho jouse chu muntinna kon in ahungpot doh’un khopi sunga umjouse chu athat tauvin ahi.
38 And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.
Amahon ana kihoutoh masat nao dungjuijin khopi sunga chun meikong khu lentah agah kondoh sah tauvin ahi.
39 And the children of Israel saw that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones amongst the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us, as in the first battle.
Israelten hiche meikhu chu amuphat un, amaho ahung kileheijun Benjamin sepaiten Israel te somthum tobang athat’un ahileh “eihon ina kisattonao masa tobanga chu tua jong ijokitnu ahitai tin kholhang asam tauvin ahi.”
40 And the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.
Ahinlah Benjamin epia hochu akinung hei uva avetnuva ahileh khopi sung muntinna konna meikhu kitungdoh jengchu amu uvin ahi.
41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had come upon them.
Israel mitechu akinung heijun akisatpi tauvin ahi. Hichephat chun Benjamin mite chun amanthah nadiu chu ahunglhunga ahitai ti ahedoh tauvin ahileh atija lheh taove.
42 And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
Hijeh chun akinung heijun Israel mitea konchun ajam’un gammang lah adel tauvin ahi. Ahinla ajamdoh joupouvin ahi, chuleh akhopi vella konna hungdoh hojongchu aban thagam tauvin ahi.
43 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
Israel miten Benjamin mite chu aum kimvel’un, chuleh adellun Gibeah solanga apha paovin,
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these [were] men of might.
Hiche ni chun Benjamin mite lah a galhat penho sangsomle sang-get athat tauvin ahi.
45 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck of them two thousand men.
Ahoidoh hochu gammang la Rimmon songpi beldingin ajamtauvin ahi, ahinla Israelten amaho lah a sang nga chu lampiah athatpa tauvin ahi. Amahon adelpeh kit nalaijun Gidom kommah sangni anathat kit nalaijun ahi.
46 And all that fell of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were men of might.
Hiche nikho chun Benjamin phungmi chemjam mangcha a galsat hatcheh sangsomni le sang nga athiuvin,
47 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even [six] hundred men; and they sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.
Amoh cheng mi jagup chu Rimmon songpi langah ajamlut un hichea chun lha li sungin achengun ahi.
48 And the children of Israel returned to the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they found.
Chuleh Israel techu ahung kile uvin khopiho sunga cheng jouse ahin ban thaovin, mipi ahin gancha ahin amu mang uchu abantha soh jengun ahi. Amahon ahunglut lutnao khopi jouse jongchu ahin ban hallhah jengun ahi.
