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.

Na ka puta nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, a huihui ana te whakaminenga me te mea he tangata kotahi, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, no te whenua ano hoki o Kireara, ki a Ihowa, ki Mihipa.

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.

I puta mai ano nga rangatira o te iwi katoa, o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, i roto i te huihui o te iwi a te Atua, e wha rau nga mano, he hunga haere i raro, he hunga mau hoari.

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?

A i rongo nga tamariki a Pineamine kua tae nga tamariki a Iharaira ki Mihipa. Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira, Korerotia mai i peheatia tenei mea kino.

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,

Na ka utua e te Riwaiti, e te tangata nana te wahine i kohurutia ra, ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki Kipea, ki tera i a Pineamine, maua ko taku wahine iti, moe ai.

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.

Na ko te whakatikanga mai o nga tangata o Kipea ki ahau, kei te karapoti i te whare i te po, he mea hoki moku; i mea ratou kia patua ahau: na whakaititia ana taku wahine a mate iho.

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.

Na ka mau ahau ki taku wahine, a tapatapahia ana e ahau, hoatu ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua, i te kainga tupu o Iharaira, mo ratou i mahi i te mahi kino, i te mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira.

7 Behold, ye are al children of Israel: giue your aduise, and counsell herein.

Na, e nga tamariki a Iharaira, koutou katoa, homai ki konei ta koutou kupu, me to koutou whakaaro.

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.

Na ka whakatika katoa te iwi ano he tangata kotahi, ka mea, E kore tetahi o tatou e haere ki tona teneti, e kore ano hoki tetahi o tatou e peka atu ki tona whare.

9 But now this is that thing which we will do to Gibeah: we wil goe vp by lot against it,

Engari ko ta tatou tenei e mea ai ki Kipea: ma te rota te tikanga mo ta tatou whawhai ki reira.

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.

Me tango tangata, kia tekau i roto i te rau, i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, he rau i roto i te mano, he mano i roto i te tekau mano, hei mau o mo te iwi; a ka tae ki Kipea o Pineamine ka rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea poauau katoa i mahia e rato u i roto i a Iharaira.

11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the citie, knit together, as one man.

Heoi huihui ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira hei whakaeke mo te pa, piri tonu me te mea he tangata kotahi ratou.

12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through al the tribe of Beniamin, saying, What wickednesse is this that is committed among you?

Na ka tono tangata nga iwi o Iharaira puta noa i te iwi katoa o pineamine, hei mea, He aha tenei mea kino kua meatia nei i roto i a koutou?

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.

Na homai aianei aua tangata, nga tama a Periara i Kipea, kia whakamatea e matou, kia whakakorea ai te kino i roto i a Iharaira. Otiia kihai a Pineamine i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o o ratou tuakana, o nga tamariki a Iharaira.

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.

Na ka huihui nga tama a Pineamine i roto i nga pa ki Kipea, ka haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Iharaira.

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.

Na ka taua i taua ra nga tama a Pineamine o nga pa, e rua tekau ma ono mano nga tangata, he hunga mau hoari; tera atu ano nga tangata o Kipea; i taua ratou e whitu rau tangata, whiriwhiri rawa.

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.

Kei roto ano i tenei hunga katoa etahi, e whitu rau, he hunga whiriwhiri, he maui; ko enei katoa he hunga e piua ai te kohatu ki te huruhuru mahunga, a e kore e taha.

17 Also the men of Israel, beside Beniamin, were nombred foure hundreth thousande men that drew sword, euen all men of warre.

I taua ano hoki nga tangata o Iharaira, nga mea ehara i a Pineamine, e wha rau mano tangata, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga hapai pakanga enei katoa.

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.

Katahi nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatika, ka haere ki Peteere, ka ui atu ki te Atua, ka mea, Ko wai o matou hei timata te haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ma Hura e timata.

19 Then the children of Israel arose vp earely and camped against Gibeah.

Na ka maranga nga tama a Iharaira i te ata, a ka noho ki Kipea.

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.

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Pineamine; a whakaritea ana a ratou ngohi e nga tama a Iharaira mo te whawhai ki Kipea.

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.

Na ka puta nga tama a Pineamine i roto i Kipea, a pirau rawa i a ratou ki te whenua i taua ra e rua tekau ma rua mano o nga tangata o Iharaira.

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.

Na ka whakatenatena te iwi, nga tangata o Iharaira, i a ratou ano, a whakaritea ana ano a ratou ngaohi kia whawhai ai ki taua wahi ano i whakaritea ai i te ra tuatahi.

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)

I haere ano nga tama a Iharaira, i tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowa a ahiahi noa, i ui atu hoki ki a Ihowa, i mea, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere ki te whawhai ki a ia.

24 Then the children of Israel came neere against the children of Beniamin the second day.

Na ka whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te rua o nga ra.

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.

I puta mai ano a Pineamine i roto i Kipea i te rua o nga ra ki te tu ki a ratou, a pirau rawa ano i a ratou ki te whenua tekau ma waru mano o nga tama a Iharaira; he hunga mau hoari katoa enei.

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.

Katahi ka haere nga tama katoa a Iharaira me te iwi katoa, a ka tae ki Peteere; na ka tangi ratou, a ka noho i reira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kahore rawa hoki i kai i taua ra a ahiahi noa; me te whakaeke ano hoki i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahe re mo te pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

27 And the children of Israel asked the Lord (for there was the Arke of the couenat of God in those dayes,

Na ka ui nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, i reira hoki te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua i aua ra,

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.

Ko Pinehaha hoki, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona, te tu ana i tona aroaro i aua ra; ka mea ratou, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina, me whakamutu ranei? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere, ko apopo hoki ratou hoatu a i e ahau ki tou ringa.

29 And Israel set men to lie in waite round about Gibeah.

Katahi ka whakatakotoria he pehipehi e Iharaira mo Kipea a taka noa, taka noa.

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.

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te toru o nga ra, e whakatakotoria ana nga ngohi hei whawhai ki Kipea, pera ano me mua ra.

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.

Na ko te putanga mai o nga tama a Pineamine ki te tu ki te iwi, manukawhakitia ana ratou i te pa; na ka timata ratou te patu i etahi o te iwi, te tukituki, te pera me mua ra, i nga huarahi e tika atu ra, ko tetahi ki Peteere, ko tetahi ki Kipea i te parae, me te mea e toru tekau nga tangata o Iharaira.

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)

Na ka mea nga tama a Pineamine, Kua hinga ratou i a tatou, kua pera me to te timatanga. Otiia i mea nga tama a Iharaira, Kia rere atu tatou; me manukawhaki mai ratou i roto i te pa ki nga huarahi.

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,

Na ka whakatika ake nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i o ratou wahi, a ka tu a matua ki Paaratamara: i puta mai ano nga pehipehi o Iharaira i to ratou wahi, ara i Marehekepa.

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.

Na haere tonu atu ki Kipea nga tangata kotahi tekau mano, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira katoa, a ka nui haere te whawhai: kihai ratou i mohio ka tata te kino ki a ratou.

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.

Na patua iho e Ihowa a Pineamine i te aroaro o Iharaira, a ngaro iho o Pineamine i nga tama a Iharaira i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano kotahi rau: he hunga mau hoari enei katoa.

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.

Heoi ka kite nga tama a Pineamine e patua ana ratou: i tukua mai a Pineamine e nga tangata o Iharaira, i whakamanawa atu hoki ki te pehipehi i whakatakotoria e ratou ki Kipea.

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.

Na hohoro tonu te pehipehi, huakina ana e ratou a Kipea; te unuhanga mai hoki o te pehipehi, na patua iho e ratou te pa katoa ki te mata o te hoari.

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.

Na kua oti tetahi tohu te whakarite e nga tangata o Iharaira ki te pehipehi, ara kia meinga e ratou kia nui te kake o te pongere o te paowa i te pa.

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.

A, i te whatinga o nga tangata o Iharaira i te mea e whawhai ana, ka anga a Pineamine, ka patu, ka tukituki i nga tangata o Iharaira, me te mea e toru tekau tangata: i mea hoki ratou, Koia rawa ano! e hinga ana ano ratou i a tatou, e pera ana an o me to te whawhaitanga tuatahi.

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.

Otiia ka timata nei te kake o te pongere o te pa ki runga, me te pou auahi, na ka titiro nga Pineamini ki muri i a ratou, nga kua pau te pa i te ahi, e kake ana tera he paowa ki te rangi.

41 Then the men of Israel turned againe, and the men of Beniamin were astonied: for they saw that euill was neere vnto them.

Ko te tahuritanga atu o nga tangata o Iharaira, kanakana kau ana nga tangata o Pineamine; i kite hoki ratou kua tae mai te he ki a ratou.

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.

Na reira ka whati ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Iharaira ki te huarahi ki te koraha; otiia i pipiri tonu te whai a te hoariri i a ratou; na, ko te hunga i puta mai i roto i nga pa, kei te whakangaro i a ratou, he mea karapoti na ratou.

43 Thus they compassed the Beniamites about, and chased them at ease, and ouerranne them, euen ouer against Gibeah on the Eastside.

Ka karapotia e ratou nga Pineamini a taka noa, a whaia ana, takatakahia ana i o ratou okiokinga, i te ritenga atu o Kipea whaka te rawhiti.

44 And there were slaine of Beniamin eyghteene thousad men, which were all men of warre.

A kotahi tekau ma waru mano o nga tangata o Pineamine i hinga: he hunga maia enei katoa.

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,

Na ka whati ratou, a rere ana ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono: a e rima mano tangata i hamua e ratou ki nga huarahi, na ka whaia ano ratou ki Kiromo, a patua iho o ratou e rua mano tangata.

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:

Na ko te hunga katoa i hinga o Pineamine i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga maia katoa enei.

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.

A e ono rau tangata i tahuri, i rere ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono, a e wha nga marama i noho ai ki te kamaka o Rimono.

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.

A i tahuri atu ano nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine, a patua iho ratou ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata o nga pa, me nga kararehe, me nga mea katoa i tupono atu ai ratou: i tungia ano e ratou ki te ahi nga pa katoa i tae atu a i ratou.
