Judges 21
1 Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe.
Ke mwet Israel elos tuh toeni in acn Mizpah, elos orala sie wulela ku inmasrlolos nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Wangin sie sesr ac fah fuhlela mwet Benjamin in payuk sin acn natusr.”
2 And the people came vnto ye house of God and abode there till euen before God, and lift vp their voyces, and wept with great lamentation,
Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos som nu Bethel ac muta we ye mutun God nwe ke ekela. Elos tung ac mwemelil ac fahk,
3 And sayde, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to passe in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want?
“O LEUM GOD lun Israel, efu ku ma inge sikyak nu sesr— Efu ku sruf lal Benjamin in wanginla liki Israel?”
4 And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings.
Toang in lutu tok ah mwet uh tukakek ac tulokunak sie loang we. Elos orek mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa firir.
5 Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not vp with the Congregation vnto the Lord? for they had made a great othe concerning him that came not vp to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death.
Ac elos siyuk, “Ya oasr sie inmasrlon sruf lun Israel inge tia wi tukeni ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah?” (Elos tuh wulela mu kutena mwet su tia wi som nu ke toeni se orek Mizpah ah, ac fah anwuki.)
6 And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Mwet Israel elos arulana pakomuta mwet wialos in sruf lal Benjamin, ac elos fahk, “Misenge, sie sin sruf lun Israel wanginla.
7 How shall we do for wiues to them that remaine, seeing we haue sworne by the Lord, that we will not giue them of our daughters to wiues?
Mea kut ac oru tuh in oasr mutan kien mukul lula ke sruf lal Benjamin— Kut tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD lah kut ac fah tiana lela acn natusr in payuk selos.”
8 Also they saide, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not vp to Mizpeh to the Lord? and beholde, there came none of Iabesh Gilead vnto the hoste and to the Congregation.
Ke elos tuh suk lah oasr mwet Israel tia wi toeni se orek in acn Mizpah, elos konauk tuh wangin mwet Jabesh in acn Gilead wi som nu ke tukeni sac.
9 For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there.
Ke pacl in pang inen mwet mweun ma som ah, wangin mwet liki acn Jabesh topuk.
10 Therefore the Congregation sent thither twelue thousande men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Goe, and smite the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children.
Ke ma inge elos supwala singoul luo tausin mwet mweun na pulaik lalos nu Jabesh, ac fahk nu selos, “Fahla ac onela mwet nukewa in acn Jabesh, wi pac mutan ac tulik nukewa.
11 And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall vtterly destroye all the males and all the women that haue lien by men.
Uniya mukul nukewa oayapa mutan nukewa, sayen mutan virgin.”
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead foure hundreth maides, virgins that had knowne no man by lying with any male: and they brought them vnto the hoste to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Na elos konauk mutan fusr virgin angfoko inmasrlon mwet Jabesh, na elos usalosla nu ke nien aktuktuk lalos in acn Shiloh in facl Canaan.
13 Then the whole Congregation sent and spake with the children of Beniamin that were in the rocke of Rimmon, and called peaceably vnto them:
Na mwet nukewa su toeni ah elos sapla nu sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin su muta ke Eot Rimmon ac fahk, “Kut lungse tuh in oasr misla inmasrlosr.”
14 And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: but they had not so ynough for them.
Na mwet Benjamin elos foloko ke pacl sac, ac mwet Israel ke sruf ngia elos sang nu selos mutan ma elos tia onela sin mwet in acn Jabesh, tusruktu mutan inge puelac nu selos.
15 And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Mwet ah pakomuta sruf lal Benjamin mweyen LEUM GOD El kunausla akupasri lun sruf Israel.
16 Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed.
Ouinge mwet matu inmasrlon toeni sac elos fahk, “Ke wangin mutan lula in sruf lal Benjamin, kut ac konauk fuka mutan kien mwet lula inge?
17 And they saide, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Tia wo in wanginla sie sin sruf lun Israel uh. Kut enenu na in suk oreya tuh in folokonak sruf lal Benjamin.
18 Howbeit we may not giue them wiues of our daughters: for the childre of Israel had sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wise to Beniamin.
Tusruktu kut tia ku in sang acn natusr in payuk selos mweyen kut tuh orala sie fulahk fahk mu ac fah mwe selnga nu sin mwet se su fuhlela tuh sie mukul Benjamin in payuk sin acn natusr.”
19 Therefore they said, Beholde, there is a feast of the Lord euery yere in Shiloh in a place, which is on the Northside of Beth-el, and on the Eastside of the way that goeth vp from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the South of Lebonah.
Na elos esamak lah sie pacl in kufwa nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh apkuranme. (Acn se inge oasr eir in acn Bethel, ac epang in acn Lebonah, ac kutulap in innek soko inmasrlon Bethel ac Shechem.)
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes.
Ouinge elos fahk nu sin mwet Benjamin, “Kowos som ac wikwik in ima grape we
21 And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catche you euery man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and goe into the land of Beniamin.
ac soano. Ke tulik mutan in acn Shiloh ac ilme in wi onsrosro ke pacl in kufwa uh, na kowos ilme liki ima grape, ac kais sie suwos eis kais sie mutan tuh in ma kiowos ac usalos som nu in acn suwos an.
22 And when their fathers or their brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wil say vnto them, Haue pitie on them for our sakes, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in the warre, and because ye haue not giuen vnto them hitherto, ye haue sinned.
Papa tumalos ac mukul wialos fin tuku lain kowos kac, na kowos fahk nu selos, ‘Nunak munas, fuhlelosme nu sesr, mweyen kut tia sruokolosi ke mweun sac tuh elos in ma kiasr. Na ke sripen tia kowos pa usalosme nu sesr uh, wangin mwatuwos ke wulela se ma kowos tuh orala.’”
23 And the children of Beniamin did so, and tooke wiues of them that danced according to their nomber: which they tooke, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
Pa inge ma mwet Benjamin elos oru: ke pacl se mutan inge onsrosro, kais sie mukul Benjamin elos sruokya kais sie mutan ac usalosla tuh in ma kialos. Ouinge elos folokla nu yen selos ac sifilpa musaeak siti srisrik in acn we ac muta we.
24 So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, euery man to his tribe, and to his familie, and went out from thence euery man to his inheritance.
In pacl sac pacna, mwet Israel nukewa saya elos folokelik, kais sie mwet nu in sruf lal ac sou lal ac acn sel sifacna.
25 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.
In pacl se inge wangin tokosra lun mwet Israel. Kais sie mwet sifacna oru ma el nunku mu suwohs ye mutal sifacna.
