Judges 21
1 Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli ti búra ní Mispa pé, “Kò sí ẹnìkan nínú wa tí yóò fi ọmọ obìnrin rẹ̀ fún ẹ̀yà Benjamini ní ìyàwó.”
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,
Àwọn ènìyàn náà lọ sí Beteli: ilé Ọlọ́run, níbi tí wọ́n jókòó níwájú Ọlọ́run títí di àṣálẹ́, wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè, wọ́n sì sọkún kíkorò.
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?
Wọ́n sọkún wí pé, “Háà! Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, èéṣe tí nǹkan yìí fi ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Israẹli? Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yà kan yóò fi run nínú Israẹli lónìí?”
4 And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings.
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì àwọn ènìyàn náà mọ pẹpẹ kan wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà.
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì béèrè wí pé, “Èwo nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli ni ó kọ̀ láti péjọ síwájú Olúwa?” Torí pé wọ́n ti fi ìbúra ńlá búra pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ̀ láti péjọ níwájú Olúwa ní Mispa pípa ni àwọn yóò pa á.
6 And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì banújẹ́ fún àwọn arákùnrin wọn, àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini. Wọ́n wí pé, “A ti ké ẹ̀yà kan kúrò lára Israẹli lónìí.”
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?
Báwo ni a yóò ṣe rí aya fún àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù, nítorí àwa ti fi Olúwa búra láti má fi ọ̀kankan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin wa fún wọn ní aya.
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.
Wọ́n sì béèrè wí pé, “Èwo ni nínú ẹ̀yà Israẹli ni ó kọ̀ láti bá àwọn ènìyàn péjọ níwájú Olúwa ní Mispa?” Wọ́n rí i pé kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wa láti Jabesi Gileadi tí ó wá sí ibùdó fún àjọ náà.
9 For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there.
Nítorí pé nígbà tí wọ́n ka àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n rí i pé kò sí ẹnìkankan láti inú àwọn ará Jabesi Gileadi tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
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.
Àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn náà sì rán ẹgbàá mẹ́fà àwọn jagunjagun ọkùnrin, lọ sí Jabesi Gileadi wọ́n fún wọn ní àṣẹ pé, ẹ lọ fi idà kọlu gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà níbẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́.
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.
Wọ́n ní, “Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe, ẹ pa gbogbo ọkùnrin àti gbogbo obìnrin tí kì í ṣe wúńdíá.”
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.
Wọ́n rí àwọn irinwó ọ̀dọ́bìnrin tí kò mọ ọkùnrin rí nínú àwọn olùgbé Jabesi Gileadi, wọ́n sì mú wọn lọ sí ibùdó ní Ṣilo àwọn ará Kenaani.
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:
Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn sì ránṣẹ́ àlàáfíà sí àwọn Benjamini ní ihò àpáta Rimoni.
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.
Àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini náà sì padà ní àkókò náà, wọ́n sì fún wọn ní àwọn obìnrin Jabesi Gileadi. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò kárí gbogbo wọn.
15 And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì káàánú nítorí ẹ̀yà Benjamini, nítorí Olúwa fi àlàfo kan sílẹ̀ nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
16 Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed.
Àwọn olórí ìjọ àwọn ènìyàn náà wí pé, “Kí ni àwa yóò ṣe láti rí aya fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó kù nígbà tí a ti pa gbogbo àwọn obìnrin Benjamini run?”
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.
Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí wọ́n là nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini ní láti ní ogún àti àrólé, kí ẹ̀yà kan nínú Israẹli má ṣe di píparun kúrò ní orí ilẹ̀.
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.
Àwa kò le fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin wa fún wọn ní aya, nítorí tí àwa ọmọ Israẹli ti ṣe ìbúra yìí pé, ‘Ègún ni fún ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó fi aya fún ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ẹ̀yà Benjamini.’”
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.
Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Kíyèsi i ayẹyẹ ọlọ́dọọdún fún Olúwa wà ní Ṣilo ní ìhà àríwá Beteli àti ìhà ìlà-oòrùn òpópó náà tí ó gba Beteli kọjá sí Ṣekemu, àti sí ìhà gúúsù Lebona.”
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes.
Wọ́n sì fi àṣẹ fún àwọn ará Benjamini pé, “Ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì fi ara pamọ́ nínú àwọn ọgbà àjàrà
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.
kí ẹ sì wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀. Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Ṣilo bá jáde láti lọ darapọ̀ fún ijó, kí ẹ yára jáde láti inú àwọn ọgbà àjàrà wọ̀n-ọn-nì kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín gbé aya kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Ṣilo kí ẹ padà sí ilẹ̀ Benjamini.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn baba wọn tàbí àwọn arákùnrin wọn bá fi ẹjọ́ sùn wá, àwa yóò wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ ṣe wá ní oore nípa ríràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́, nítorí àwa kò rí aya fún wọn ní àkókò ogun, ẹ̀yin kò sì ní jẹ̀bi, nítorí pé ẹ̀yin kọ́ ni ó fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín fún wọn bí aya.’”
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.
Èyí sì ni ohun tí àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini ṣe. Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọbìnrin náà ń jó lọ́wọ́, ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan mú ọmọbìnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan, wọ́n sì gbé e lọ láti di aya rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì padà sí ilẹ̀ ìní wọn, wọ́n sì tún àwọn ìlú náà kọ́, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó sínú wọn.
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.
Ní àkókò náà, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kúrò ní ibẹ̀, wọ́n lọ sí ilé àti ẹ̀yà rẹ̀ olúkúlùkù sí ilẹ̀ ìní rẹ̀.
25 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.
Ní àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí, kò sí ọba ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli; olúkúlùkù sì ń ṣe bí ó ti tọ́ ní ojú ara rẹ̀.
