Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the Congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, vnto the Lord in Mizpeh.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna okuva ku Ddaani okutuuka ku Beeruseba wamu n’ensi ya Gireyaadi ne bakuŋŋaana mu maaso ga Mukama e Mizupa, nga bali omuntu omu.
2 And the chiefe of all the people, and all the tribes of Israel assembled in the Congregation of the people of God foure hundreth thousand footemen that drewe sword.
Abakulembeze b’abantu bonna mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri ne batuula mu bifo byabwe mu kuŋŋaaniro ly’abantu ba Katonda, nga bawera abaserikale abaalina ebitala, emitwalo amakumi ana.
3 (Now the children of Beniamin heard that the children of Israel were gone vp to Mizpeh) Then the children of Israel saide, Howe is this wickednesse committed?
Awo abaana ba Benyamini ne bawulira nti Abantu ba Isirayiri bambuse e Mizupa. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne boogera nti, “Ekintu kino eky’ekivve bwe kiti, kyabaawo kitya?”
4 And the same Leuite, the womans husband that was slaine, answered and saide, I came vnto Gibeah that is in Beniamin with my concubine to lodge,
Omuleevi bba w’omukazi eyattibwa n’addamu nti, “Natuuka e Gibea ekya Benyamini, ne mukazi wange, tusule eyo.
5 And the men of Gibeah arose against me, and beset the house round about vpon mee by night, thinking to haue slaine me, and haue forced my concubine that she is dead.
Abasajja ab’e Gibea ne bangolokokerako mu kiro, ne bazingiza ennyumba gye twalimu, ne baagala okunzita. Kyokka ne bakwata mukazi wange ne bamusobyako n’afa.
6 Then I tooke my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the countrey of the inheritance of Israel: for they haue committed abomination and villenie in Israel.
Kyennava ntwala mukazi wange ne musalaasala, ne mpeereza ebitundu bye mu buli kifo eky’omugabo gwa Isirayiri, kubanga baakola ekikolwa eky’obugwenyufu era eky’ekivve.
7 Behold, ye are al children of Israel: giue your aduise, and counsell herein.
Kaakano mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri mwenna, musaleewo eky’okukola.”
8 Then all the people arose as one man, saying, There shall not a man of vs goe to his tent, neither any turne into his house.
Awo abantu bonna ne bagolokoka nga bali omuntu omu, ne boogera nti, “Tewali muntu mu ffe aliddayo ewuwe. Tewali aliddayo mu nnyumba ye.
9 But now this is that thing which we will do to Gibeah: we wil goe vp by lot against it,
Naye kaakano ekintu kye tulikola Gibea okumulwanyisa, kwe kumukubira akalulu.
10 And we wil take ten men of the hundreth throughout al the tribes of Israel, and an hundreth of the thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand to bring vitaile for the people that they may do (when they come to Gibeah of Beniamin) according to all the villeny, that it hath done in Israel.
Abantu kkumi ku bantu kikumi okuva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, n’abalala kikumi ku bantu olukumi, n’abalala lukumi ku bantu omutwalo ogumu bagende bafunire eggye ebyetaago. Eggye bwe lirituuka e Gibea eky’e Benyamini balyoke bababonereze ng’ekikolwa kyabwe eby’obugwenyufu bwe kiri, kye baakola mu Isirayiri.”
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the citie, knit together, as one man.
Awo abantu bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaana ne baba omuntu omu, ne balumba ekibuga.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through al the tribe of Beniamin, saying, What wickednesse is this that is committed among you?
Ebika bya Isirayiri ne bituma ababaka mu kika kyonna ekya Benyamini, nga babuuza nti, “Kikolwa ki eky’ekivve ekyakolebwa wakati mu mmwe?
13 Nowe therefore deliuer vs those wicked men which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away euill from Israel: but the children of Beniamin would not obey the voyce of their brethren the children of Israel.
Kale kaakano muweeyo abasajja abaana b’ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu abali mu Gibea tubatte, tuggyewo ekibi mu Isirayiri.” Naye abaana ba Benyamini ne bagaana okuwuliriza eddoboozi ly’abaana ba Isirayiri.
14 But ye children of Beniamin gathered them selues together out of the cities vnto Gibeah, to come out and fight against the children of Israel.
Awo abaana ba Benyamini ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Gibea nga bava mu bibuga byonna, bagende balwanyise abaana ba Isirayiri.
15 And ye children of Beniamin were nombred at that time out of the cities sixe and twenty thousand men that drewe sworde, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were nombred seuen hundreth chosen men.
Ku lunaku olwo, abaana ba Benyamini ne bavaayo okuva mu bibuga abasajja abalina ebitala emitwalo ebiri mu kakaaga.
16 Of all this people were seuen hundreth chosen men, being left handed: all these could sling stones at an heare breadth, and not faile.
Mu bantu abo bonna mwalimu abasajja abalondemu lusanvu abakozesa kkono. Buli omu ku bo yayinzanga okuteeka ejjinja mu nvumuulo ekube oluviiri, n’atasubwa.
17 Also the men of Israel, beside Beniamin, were nombred foure hundreth thousande men that drew sword, euen all men of warre.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri, nga totaddeeko abava mu Benyamini, ne bakuŋŋaana abasajja abalwanyi abasitula ebitala, emitwalo amakumi ana.
18 And the children of Israel arose, and went vp to the house of God, and asked of God, saying, Which of vs shall goe vp first to fight against the children of Beniamin? And the Lord said, Iudah shalbe first.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagolokoka ne bayambuka e Beseri ne beebuuza ku Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Ani ku ffe alisooka okugenda okulwanyisa abaana ba Benyamini?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Yuda yalisooka.”
19 Then the children of Israel arose vp earely and camped against Gibeah.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagolokoka mu makya ne basiisira okumpi ne Gibea.
20 And the men of Israel went out to battell against Beniamin, and the men of Israel put themselues in aray to fight against the beside Gibeah.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne bagenda okulwanyisa Benyamini, n’abasajja ba Benyamini ne basimba ennyiriri okulwanyisa abasajja ba Isirayiri e Gibea.
21 And the children of Beniamin came out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the ground of the Israelites that day two and twentie thousand men.
Abaana ba Benyamini ne bava mu Gibea ne batta abasajja ba Isirayiri emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri mu lutalo ku lunaku olwo.
22 And the people, the men of Israel plucked vp their hearts, and set their battel againe in aray in the place where they put them in aray the first day.
Naye abantu bazzaamu abasajja ba Isirayiri amaanyi, ne baddayo ne basimba ennyiriri mu kifo mwe baali ku lunaku olwasooka.
23 (For the children of Israel had gone vp and wept before the Lord vnto the euening, and had asked of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe againe to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren? and the Lord said, Go vp against them)
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne bambuka ne bakaabira Mukama okutuusa akawungeezi. Ne beebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Tuddeyo tulwanyise baganda baffe abaana ba Benyamini?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mubalwanyise.”
24 Then the children of Israel came neere against the children of Beniamin the second day.
Ku lunaku olwokubiri Abayisirayiri ne basembera okulwanyisa Ababenyamini.
25 Also the second day Beniamin came forth to meete them out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the grounde of the children of Israel againe eighteene thousand men: all they could handle the sword.
Ababenyamini ne bavaayo ne balumba okuva e Gibea, ne batta abaana ba Isirayiri abalala omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu lutalo ku lunaku olwo olwokubiri; Abayisirayiri abo bonna baalina ebitala.
26 Then al the children of Israel went vp and all the people came also vnto the house of God, and wept and sate there before the Lord and fasted that day vnto the euening, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before the Lord.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna n’abantu bonna, ne bambuka okulaga e Beseri, ne bakaabira Mukama Katonda ne batuula eyo mu maaso ge ne basiiba olunaku olwo okutuusa akawungeezi, lwe baawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe mu maaso ga Mukama.
27 And the children of Israel asked the Lord (for there was the Arke of the couenat of God in those dayes,
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne beebuuza ku Mukama Katonda, kubanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Katonda yaliyo mu biro ebyo,
28 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron stoode before it at that time) saying, Shall I yet goe anie more to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren, or shall I cease? And the Lord said, Go vp: for to morowe I will deliuer them into your hand.
nga Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali, muzzukulu wa Alooni yaweereza mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. Ne bamwebuuzaako nga bagamba nti, “Tuddeyo tulumbe baganda baffe abaana ba Benyamini oba tetuddayo?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende kubanga enkya nzija kubagabula mu mukono gwammwe.”
29 And Israel set men to lie in waite round about Gibeah.
Awo Abayisirayiri ne bateegera ku njuyi zonna eza Gibea.
30 And the children of Israel went vp against the children of Beniamin the third day, and put theselues in aray against Gibeah, as at other times.
Ku lunaku olwokusatu abaana ba Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa abaana ba Benyamini ne basimba ennyiriri nga boolekedde Gibea ng’olulala.
31 Then the children of Beniamin comming out against the people, were drawen from the citie: and they began to smite of ye people and kill as at other times, euen by the wayes in the fielde (whereof one goeth vp to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah) vpon a thirtie men of Israel.
Abaana ba Benyamini ne bavaayo okubalwanyisa ne basikirizibwa okuva mu kibuga, ne batandika okukuba n’okutta ng’olulala, nga bava ku luguudo olumu okudda e Beseri, ne ku lulala oludda e Gibea mu nnimiro. Ne batta abasajja Abayisirayiri ng’amakumi asatu.
32 (For the children of Beniamin sayd, They are fallen before vs, as at the first. But the children of Israel saide, Let vs flee and plucke them away from the citie vnto the hie wayes)
Abaana ba Benyamini bwe baagambanga nti, “Tubawangula nga luli bwe kyali ku mulundi ogwasooka,” Abayisirayiri bo ne beeteesa nti, “Tuddeyoko emabega, tubasikirize okubaggya mu kibuga badde mu nguudo.”
33 And all the men of Israel rose vp out of their place, and put themselues in aray at Baal-tamar: and the men that lay in wayte of the Israelites came forth of their place, euen out of the medowes of Gibeah,
Abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bava mu nnyiriri zaabwe mu bifo byabwe, ne badda e Baalutamali. Abayisirayiri abaateega ne bafubutuka okuva mu bifo byabwe mu ttale erya Gibea.
34 And they came ouer against Gibeah, ten thousande chosen men of all Israel, and the battell was sore: for they knewe not that the euill was neere them.
Awo abasajja omutwalo gumu abaalondebwa okuva mu Isirayiri yonna, ne balumba Gibea ne waba okulwana okw’amaanyi, Ababenyamini ne batamanya nti akabi kabajjidde.
35 And the Lord smote Beniamin before Israel, and the children of Israel destroyed of the Beniamites the same day fiue and twenty thousand and an hundreth men: all they could handle the sword.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’awangula Benyamini mu maaso ga Isirayiri, era ku lunaku olwo abaana ba Isirayiri ne batta Ababenyamini bonna abaalina ebitala, abasajja emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi ttaano mu kikumi.
36 So the children of Beniamin sawe that they were striken downe: for the men of Israel gaue place to the Beniamites, because they trusted to the men that lay in waite, which they had laide beside Gibeah.
Abaana ba Benyamini ne balaba nga bakubiddwa. Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne bakolera Ababenyamini ekkubo, nga bo Abayisirayiri beesize abateezi be baali batadde okumpi ne Gibea.
37 And they that lay in wait hasted, and brake forth toward Gibeah, and the ambushment drewe themselues along, and smote all the citie with the edge of the sword.
Abaali bateeze ne badduka ne beesogga mu Gibea, ne basaasaana ne batta abaakirimu bonna.
38 Also the men of Israel had appoynted a certaine time with the ambushmentes, that they should make a great flame and smoke rise vp out of the citie.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri baali balagaanye n’abaateega nti abateezi bwe banaanyoosa omukka omungi mu kibuga,
39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battel, Beniamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirtie persons: for they said, Surely they are striken downe before vs, as in the first battell.
abasajja ba Isirayiri abali mu ddwaniro banaakyuka. Mu kiseera ekyo Ababenyamini baali batanudde okukuba n’okutta abasajja ba Isirayiri ng’amakumi asatu, nga luli olwasooka. Ne bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala tubawangudde nga mu lutalo luli olwasooka.”
40 But when the flame bega to arise out of the citie, as a pillar of smoke, the Beniamites looked backe, and behold, the flame of the citie began to ascend vp to heauen.
Naye omukka bwe gwatandika okunyooka, ekibuga kyonna nga kigya, Ababenyamini ne bakyuka okutunula emabega, laba, ng’ekibuga kyonna kikutte omuliro.
41 Then the men of Israel turned againe, and the men of Beniamin were astonied: for they saw that euill was neere vnto them.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne babakyukira. Abasajja ba Benyamini ne batya bwe baalaba ng’akabi kabajjidde.
42 Therefore they fled before the men of Israel vnto the way of the wildernesse, but the battell ouertooke them: also they which came out of the cities, slew them among them.
Kyebaava badduka abasajja ba Isirayiri nga baddukira mu ddungu, kyokka olutalo ne lubayinza. Buli eyadduka okuva mu bibuga n’afiira wamu nabo.
43 Thus they compassed the Beniamites about, and chased them at ease, and ouerranne them, euen ouer against Gibeah on the Eastside.
Abayisirayiri ne bazingiza Ababenyamini, ne babagoba okutuukira ddala ku buvanjuba bw’e Gibea we butandikira.
44 And there were slaine of Beniamin eyghteene thousad men, which were all men of warre.
Abasajja abalwanyi abazira Ababenyamini abaafa baali omutwalo gumu mu kanaana.
45 And they turned and fled to the wildernes vnto the rocke of Rimmon: and the Israelites glayned of them by the way fiue thousand men, and pursued after them vnto Gidom, and slewe two thousand men of them,
Ababenyamini bwe baddukira mu ddungu nga boolekedde olwazi lwa Limoni, Abayisirayiri ne batta enkumi ttaano ku bo. Abayisirayiri ne bongera okubagobera ddala okutuuka e Gidomu, era n’eyo ne battirayo abasajja enkumi bbiri.
46 So that all that were slayne that day of Beniamin, were fiue and twentie thousand men that drewe sword, which were all men of warre:
Bwe batyo Ababenyamini bonna abaafa ku lunaku olwo, baali emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi ttaano, bonna abo nga basajja bazira.
47 But sixe hundreth men turned and fled to the wildernesse vnto the rocke of Rimmon, and abode in the rocke of Rimmon foure moneths.
Naye abasajja lukaaga be baddukira mu ddungu okwolekera olwazi lwa Limoni, ne babeera eyo okumala emyezi ena.
48 Then the men of Israel returned vnto the children of Beniamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword from the men of the citie vnto the beasts, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they coulde come by.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne bakyuka ne baddayo eri abaana ba Benyamini ne batta buli kintu ekyali mu kibuga, ne batta ensolo, ne batta buli muntu gwe baasanga mu bibuga byonna bye baalaba, ne babikumako omuliro.
