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.
Mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk Dan me layen nu eir, nwe Beersheba layen nu epang, oayapa Gilead layen nu kutulap, elos fahsreni fal nu ke pang nu selos. Elos toeni nu sie ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah.
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.
Mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel elos wi toeni se inge. Pisen mukul wo matwa nu ke mweun sun mwet angfoko tausin.
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?
In pacl se inge mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos lohngak lah mwet Israel nukewa saya elos oru tukeni se inge in acn Mizpah. Na mwet Israel elos siyuk, “Fahkma lah fuka nwe ma koluk lulap se inge sikyak?”
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.
Na mwet Levi se ma anwuki mutan kulansap kia el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac mutan kulansap kiuk ah som in tuh motulla in acn Gibeah, yen sin sruf lal Benjamin.
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.
Mukul in acn Gibeah elos tuku in tuh sruokyuwi, ac elos kuhlasla lohm sac in fong sac. Elos tuh nunku in uniyuwi, tuh pa elos sruokya mutan kulansap se kiuk ah, ac akkolukyal nwe el misa.
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.
Na nga eis manol, ac sipikya nu ke ip singoul luo, ac supwalik kais sie ip nu sin sruf lun Israel. Mwet Gibeah inge elos orala ma koluk na fohkfok se inmasrlosr.
7 Behold, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here amongst yourselves.
Kowos nukewa ma toeni inge, kowos mwet Israel. Mea kut ac oru ke ma se inge uh?”
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.
Na mwet nukewa elos tukeni tuyak ac fahk, “Wangin sie sesr ac folokla nu lohm sel ah, finne elos su muta in lohm nuknuk ku elos su muta in lohm na pwaye.
9 And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; we will go up against it by lot.
Pa inge ma kut ac oru uh: kut ac fah susfa, ac sulela kutu sesr in som mweuni acn Gibeah.
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.
Sie tafu singoul sin mwet Israel ac fah fosrngakin mongo nun mwet mweun, ac mwet lula nukewa ac fah som mweuni acn Gibeah ke sripen ouiya koluk se elos orala in Israel inge.”
11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one man.
Ke ma inge mukul nukewa in acn Israel elos nunak sefanna in mweuni acn we.
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?
Mwet in sruf lun Israel elos supwalik mwet in utuk kas nu in acn lun sruf lal Benjamin nufon ac fahk, “Ma koluk fuka se kowos orala inge?
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.
Fuhlema mwet ma oru ma koluk se in acn Gibeah inge nu sesr tuh kut in onelosla, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki acn Israel.” Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tiana lohang nu ke mwet Israel wialos.
14 And the children of Benjamin were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with the children of Israel.
Ouinge mwet in siti nukewa in acn Benjamin elos fahsreni nu Gibeah ac akola in mweun lain mwet wialos in sruf lun Israel.
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;
In len sac mwet Benjamin elos pangon tausin longoul onkosr mwet mweun liki siti nukewa, in weang mwet Gibeah.
16 All these could sling with stones at a hair, and not miss.
Inmasrlon mwet inge nukewa oasr mwet itfoko selos solla, ac mwet inge nukewa mwet lasa. Kais sie selos arulana oalel. Finne aunsuf soko, tia ku in oalla.
17 And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these [were] men of war.
Mwet Israel nukewa, sayen mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, elos solani angfoko tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun.
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.
Mwet Israel elos som nu ke acn in alu lalos in acn Bethel, ac elos siyuk sin God, “Su sin sruf inge fal in som meet in lain mwet Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sruf lal Judah.”
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gabaa.
Ouinge mwet Israel elos mukuiyak som ke lutu tok ah, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos apkuran nu ke siti Gibeah.
20 And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
Elos som in lain mwet mweun lun Benjamin, ac oakiya solse lalos in acn ma ngetang nu ke siti ah.
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.
Mwet mweun lun mwet Benjamin elos oatula liki siti selos, ac elos uniya mwet mweun longoul luo tausin sin mwet Israel meet liki fongeni.
22 And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on the first day.
Na mwet Israel elos folokla nu ke acn in alu lalos, ac tung mwemelil ye mutun LEUM GOD nwe ke ekela. Elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal kut in sifil mweuni mwet wiasr in sruf lal Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Aok.”
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.
Ouinge kui nunkalos mwet mweun lun Israel, ac elos sifil oakiya solse lalos yen na elos tuh tu we ke len meet ah.
24 And the children of Israel advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
Ac elos sifilpa som lain mwet mweun Benjamin pacl se akluo.
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.
Ac mwet Benjamin elos sifilpa oatula liki Gibeah pacl se akluo, ac onela tausin singoul oalkosr sin mwet pisrla ke mweun lun mwet Israel.
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,
Na mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu Bethel ac tung mwemelil. Elos muta we ye mutun LEUM GOD ac elos tia mongo nwe ke ekela. Ac elos kisakin mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa firir ye mutun LEUM GOD.
27 for the ark of the Lord God [was] there in those days,
Ac mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD (tuh Tuptup in Wuleang lun God oan in acn Bethel in pacl sac,
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.
ac Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar su ma natul Aaron, pa karingin tuptup sac in pacl sac.) Na mwet elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal kut in sifil som lain mwet Benjamin wiasr, ku kut ac tia som?” Ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Kowos som. Lutu nga ac sot kutangla nu suwos.”
29 And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
Ouinge mwet Israel elos okanla kutu solse lalos ac raunela acn Gibeah.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
Pacl se inge len se aktolu elos som in lain mwet mweun Benjamin, ac elos oakiya solse lalos ke acn ma oan ngetang nu Gibeah, oana ke elos oru meet ah.
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.
Mwet Benjamin sifilpa oatula in mweun, ac som loesla liki siti selos. Elos mutawauk in onela kutu sin mwet Israel ah yen tupasrpasr ke inkanek nu Bethel, oayapa ke inkanek nu Gibeah, oana elos tuh oru ke len meet ah. Elos uniya akuran mwet tolngoul sin mwet Israel.
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.
Na mwet Benjamin elos fahk, “Kut sifilpa kutangulosla oana meet ah.” Tusruktu mwet Israel elos oru pwapa lukma se tuh elos in folok nu tok in pwanma mwet Benjamin liki siti selos ah nu ke inkanek uh.
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.
Ouinge ke inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli ac sifil tukeni in acn Baaltamar, mwet Israel ma raunela acn Gibeah elos tuku liki in eot uh, yen elos wikwik we.
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.
Mwet Israel singoul tausin su pisrla ke mweun elos mweuni acn Gibeah, ac upana mweun lalos we. Mwet Benjamin elos tiana akilen lah ac kunausyukla elos.
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.
LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin mwet Israel fin mwet Benjamin. Mwet Israel elos uniya longoul limekosr tausin siofok sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke len sac.
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.
Ouinge mwet Benjamin elos akilenak lah kutangyukla elos. Inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli nu tok liki mwet Benjamin, mweyen elos lulalfongi solse ma elos okanla raunela acn Gibeah.
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.
Mwet inge elos sulaklak na yuyang nu in acn Gibeah; elos fahsrelik nu in siti sac ac uniya mwet nukewa su muta we.
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.
Oasr akul se ma inkaiyen mwet Israel ac mwet ma wikla elos tukeni aetui kac. Pa inge — ke pacl se elos ac liye kulasr lulap fosryak liki siti sac,
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.
na mwet Israel ma kohlol nu tok acn elos mweun we ah, elos ac forla. Ke pacl se inge mwet Benjamin elos onela tari mwet solse tolngoul lun mwet Israel, na elos fahk nu selos sifacna mu, “Kut sifilpa onelosla oana ke kut oru meet ah.”
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.
Na ke pacl se inge akul sac sikyak — fosr se fosryak liki siti sac. Mwet Benjamin elos tapulla ac arulana lut ke elos liye siti nufon sac firiryak.
41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had come upon them.
Na mwet Israel elos forla, ac mwet Benjamin arulana fosrngala mweyen elos akilenak lah elos ac kutangyukla.
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.
Elos kaing liki mwet Israel ac srike in sun acn turangang, tusruk elos tia ku in kaingla. Sruhu elos inmasrlon un mwet mweun lulap lun mwet Israel ac elos su tuku liki siti ah me, ac kunausyukla elos.
43 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.
Mwet Israel elos kosrala mwet lokoalok lalos inge, ac ukwalos nwe in acn se layen nu kutulap in Gibeah, ac elos uni na mwet uh ke inkanek lalos.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these [were] men of might.
Singoul oalkosr tausin sin mwet fo ke mweun sin mwet Benjamin anwuki ke len se inge.
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.
Ac mwet lula ah elos forla ac kaing nu yen turangang, nwe ke eot se pangpang Eot Rimmon. Limekosr tausin selos anwukla inkanek uh. Na mwet Israel elos ukwe pac mwet lula ah nwe Gidom, ac elos uniya pac luo tausin selos we.
46 And all that fell of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew sword in that day: all these were men of might.
Toeni nufon mwet misa inge, oasr tausin longoul limekosr mwet Benjamin pa anwuki ke len sac — elos nukewa mwet mweun na pulaik.
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.
Tusruktu onfoko selos tuh kaingla nu ke Eot Rimmon yen turangang, ac tia wi anwuki. Na elos muta we malem akosr.
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.
Mwet Israel elos forla ac onela nufon mwet lula sin mwet Benjamin, mwet mukul, mutan, tulik ac oayapa kosro natulos. Elos esukak siti srisrik nukewa in polo acn sac.
