Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to the Benjaminites as wife.
Isarelnaw ni Mizpah vah, maimouh thung dawk hoi apihai Benjaminnaw ni a yu lah lat hanh seh telah lawkkamnae a sak awh.
2 And the people came to Bethel, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,
Tamimaya teh, Bethel vah a cei awh teh, Cathut hmalah tangmin totouh a tahung awh. Puenghoi a hram awh teh a ka awh.
3 and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, why is it come to pass in Israel, that there should be this day one tribe lacking in Israel?
Ahnimouh ni Oe BAWIPA, Isarelnaw e Cathut, bang dawk maw Isarelnaw rahak vah het patet e hno heh ao. Sahnin vah, Isarelnaw dawkvah, miphun buet touh a vout. Bang kecu dawk vaimoe telah ati awh.
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
Hahoi teh, hettelah doeh. Atangtho teh tamimaya ni amom a tho awh teh, hawvah, bawknae khoungroe a sak awh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi lungmawng thuengnae a poe awh.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation to Jehovah? For they had [made] a great oath concerning him that came not up to Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall certainly be put to death.
Isarelnaw ni, Isarel miphunnaw pueng thung dawk, BAWIPA koe ka kamkhueng hoeh e apimaw kaawm telah atipouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Mizpah vah BAWIPA koe ka cet hoeh e naw pueng teh, thei han telah lawkkamnae kalenpoung a sak awh toe.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, To-day is one tribe extirpated from Israel.
Hahoi Isarelnaw pueng ni, a hmaunawngha Benjaminnaw koe pankângai awh leih. Sahnin Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi miphun buet touh pahma awh toe.
7 What shall we do for wives for them that remain? since we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters for wives.
Kaawm rae thung dawk hoi a yu nahanelah bangtelamaw ti awh han. Maimae canunaw heh a yu lah la sak hoeh hanelah BAWIPA koe thoebo hoi lawk yo bout kam awh toe telah ati awh.
8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpah to Jehovah? And behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-Gilead, to the congregation;
Ahnimouh ni Isarel miphun thung hoi bang miphun maw Mizpah BAWIPA koe ka tho hoeh vaw telah ati. Hahoi khenhaw! ka kamkhuengnaw onae hmuen koe Jabesgileadnaw hah buet touh hai awm hoeh bo.
9 for the people were numbered, and behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead there.
Taminaw hah a parei awh navah, Jabesgilead ram kaawm e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
10 And the assembly sent thither twelve thousand men of the most valiant and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, and the women and the children.
Hahoi kamkhuengnaw ni a tarankahawi e tami 12000 touh a patoun awh. Cet nateh, Jabeshgilead ram dawk e kaawmnaw hah napui camo hai abuemlah tahloi hoi thet awh.
11 And this is the thing which ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain with man.
Na sak awh hane dawkvah, hettelah han. Tongpanaw hoi napuinaw ni a ikhai tangcoung e naw pueng hah na thei awh han telah kâ a poe awh.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young women that were virgins, who had known no man by lying with any male, and they brought them to the camp, to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Hahoi Jabeshgilead ram e kaawmnaw thung dawk, tangla 400 touh, tongpa ni a ikhai hoeh rae a pâphawng awh. Hat torei teh, a onae Shiloh be a thokhai awh. Hot teh Kanaan ram doeh.
13 And the whole assembly sent to speak to the children of Benjamin that were at the cliff of Rimmon, and to proclaim peace to them.
Hahoi kamkhuengnaw pueng ni tami a tha awh teh, Rimmon talung koe kaawm e Benjaminnaw hah a patopahlai awh teh, ahnimouh koe roumnae lawk a dei pouh awh.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them the wives whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead; but even so they found not enough for them.
Telah ati awh tahma vah, Benjaminnaw tang a ban awh teh, Jabesgilead napui a hlung awh e naw hah a poe awh. Hatei napuinaw khout hoeh rah.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Hahoi tamimaya teh, Benjamin kecu dawk pankângai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Isarel miphun thung ruengruengtinae a pha sak dawkvah.
16 And the elders of the assembly said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin.
Hottelah kamkhueng e maya a lungkahanaw ni ka hring e naw a yu hane teh, bangtelamaw ti han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Benjaminnaw thung dawk napuinaw heh koung bout thei pouh awh toe telah ati awh.
17 And they said, There must be a possession for those of Benjamin that have escaped, that a tribe be not blotted out of Israel.
Ahnimouh ni Isarel dawk hoi miphun a kahma hoeh nahanelah, Benjaminnaw la kaawmnaw heh, bangtelamaw râw tawn sak thai han.
18 But we cannot give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to the Benjaminites!
Maimae canunaw hai a yu lah lat thai awh hoeh ati awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw ni tami bangpatet hai, Benjaminnaw a yu lah ka lat e teh, thoebonae awm seh telah lawk bout kâkam toe.
19 And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, toward the sun-rising of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Ahnimouh ni khenhaw. Bethel ceinae lam, kanîtholah, Lebanon monsom kaawm e Shiloh vah, kum tangkuem BAWIPA hanlah pawi ouk ao telah ati awh.
20 And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh ni, Benjaminnaw koevah, cet awh nateh, misur takha koe arulahoi pawm awh.
21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Khenhaw! Shiloh vah tanglanaw ni lamnae hmuen koe, a tâco toteh, misur takha koehoi tâcawt awh nateh, tami pueng ni Shiloh tangla hah yu lah man awh. Hahoi torei, Benjamin ram vah cet awh.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain to us, that we will say to them, Gratify us with them, because we did not take each man his wife in the war; for ye did not give them to them, that ye should now be guilty.
Hahoi, a na pa thoseh, a thangroi thoseh, lairoe hanlah tho pawiteh, ahnimouh koevah; Kaimouh kecu dawk ahnimouh hah pahren awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taran tuknae koe ka yu hanelah, na man pouh mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni hai atu totouh napui na poe kalawn awh hoeh. Namamouh e lawkkam dawk yon na kâhnei awh telah tet pouh awh.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught; and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.
Benjaminnaw teh, hot patetlah a sak awh. Ka lamnaw hah amamae yu hanelah lengkaleng a man awh teh, yout a ceikhai awh. A ram dawk a phakhai awh teh, khopui hah bout a pathoup awh, hawvah kho a sak awh.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
Hottelah, Isarelnaw teh, amamae miphun rip hoi amamae imthungkhu rip hai, hote hmuen koehoi a tâco awh teh, amamae kho tangkuem vah a ban awh.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
Hote tueng nah, Isarel vah siangpahrang awm hoeh. Tami pueng ni a mahoima hmunae dawk ahawi tie patetlah kho a sak awh.
