< Judges 20 >
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah.
Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti Dani dé Beerṣeba, àti láti ilẹ̀ Gileadi jáde bí ẹnìkan ṣoṣo wọ́n sì péjọ síwájú Olúwa ni Mispa.
2 And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. —
Àwọn olórí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli dúró ní ipò wọn ní àpéjọ àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ogún ọ̀kẹ́ ọkùnrin ológun ti àwọn àti idà wọn.
3 Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah. — And the children of Israel said: 'Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?'
(Àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini gbọ́ wí pé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù ti gòkè lọ sí Mispa.) Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli wí pé, “Ẹ sọ fún wa báwo ni iṣẹ́ búburú ṣe ṣẹlẹ̀.”
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said: 'I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Ará Lefi náà, ọkọ obìnrin tí wọ́n pa fèsì pé, “Èmi àti àlè mi wá sí Gibeah ti àwọn ará Benjamini láti sùn di ilẹ̀ mọ́ níbẹ̀.
5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní òru àwọn ọkùnrin Gibeah lépa mi wọ́n sì yí ilé náà po pẹ̀lú èrò láti pa mí. Wọ́n fi ipá bá àlè mi lòpọ̀, òun sì kú.
6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and wantonness in Israel.
Mo mú àlè mi náà, mo sì gé e sí ekìrí ekìrí, mo sì fi ekìrí kọ̀ọ̀kan ránṣẹ́ sí agbègbè ìní Israẹli kọ̀ọ̀kan, nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣe ohun tí ó jẹ́ èèwọ̀ àti ohun ìtìjú yìí ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
7 Behold, ye are all here, children of Israel, give here your advice and council.'
Nísinsin yìí, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli, ẹ sọ ìmọ̀ràn yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìdájọ́ yín.”
8 And all the people arose as one man, saying: 'We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì dìde bí ẹnìkan pẹ̀lú gbólóhùn kan wí pé, “Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wa tí yóò lọ sí àgọ́ rẹ̀. Rárá o, kò sí ẹyọ ẹnìkan tí yóò padà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ohun tí àwa yóò ṣe sí Gibeah ní yìí. Àwa yóò lọ kọlù ú bí ìbò bá ṣe darí wa.
10 and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the wantonness that they have wrought in Israel.'
A yóò mú ọkùnrin mẹ́wàá nínú ọgọ́rùn-ún nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli àti ọgọ́rùn-ún láti inú ẹgbẹ̀rún kan àti ẹgbẹ̀rún kan láti inú ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá láti máa pèsè oúnjẹ fún àwọn ọmọ-ogun.

11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Báyìí ni gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli parapọ̀ ṣọ̀kan bí ọkùnrin kan ṣoṣo wọ́n sì dìde sí ìlú náà.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying: 'What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?
Àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli rán àwọn ọkùnrin sí gbogbo ẹ̀yà Benjamini wí pé, “Kí ni ẹ̀rí sí ìwà búburú yìí tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ ní àárín yín?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows that are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.' But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
Nítorí náà ẹ mú àwọn ẹni ibi ti Gibeah yìí wá fún wa, kí àwa lé pa, kí a sì fọ ìṣe búburú yìí mọ́ kúrò ní Israẹli.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini kò fetí sí ti àwọn arákùnrin wọn ọmọ Israẹli.
14 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of their cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini sì kó ara wọn jọ láti àwọn ìlú wọn sí Gibeah láti bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jà.
15 And the children of Benjamin numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Ní ẹsẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ àwọn ará Benjamini kó ẹgbàá mẹ́tàlá àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ń lọ dájọ́ láti àwọn ìlú wọn, yàtọ̀ sí àwọn ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin àṣàyàn ọkùnrin nínú àwọn tí ń gbé Gibeah.
16 All this people, even seven hundred chosen men, were left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.

17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli, yàtọ̀ sí àwọn ará Benjamini, ka ogún ọ̀kẹ́ àwọn tí ń fi idà jagun, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ akọni ní ogun jíjà.
18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said: 'Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?' And the LORD said: 'Judah first.'
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ sí Beteli, wọ́n sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run. Wọ́n wí pé, “Ta ni nínú wa tí yóò kọ́ kojú àwọn ará Benjamini láti bá wọn jà?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Juda ni yóò kọ́ lọ.”
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dìde ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, wọ́n sì dó ti Gibeah (wọ́n tẹ̀gùn sí ẹ̀bá Gibeah).
20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli jáde lọ láti bá àwọn ará Benjamini jà wọ́n sì dúró ní ipò ogun sí wọn ní Gibeah.
21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
Àwọn ọmọ Benjamini sì jáde láti Gibeah wá wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọmọ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógún ọkùnrin nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ojú ogun ní ọjọ́ náà.
22 And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli mú ara wọn lọ́kàn le, wọ́n sì tún dúró sí ipò wọn ní ibi tí wọ́n dúró sí ní ọjọ́ àkọ́kọ́.
23 And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?' And the LORD said: 'Go up against him.'
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì lọ wọ́n sọkún ní iwájú Olúwa títí oòrùn fi wọ̀, wọ́n sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa. Wọ́n ni, “Ṣé kí àwa tún gòkè lọ kí a sì bá àwọn ará Benjamini arákùnrin wa jà?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Lọ bá wọn jà.”
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì tún súnmọ́ tòsí àwọn ará Benjamini ní ọjọ́ kejì.
25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
Ní ọjọ́ yìí nígbà tí ará Benjamini jáde sí wọn láti Gibeah, láti dojúkọ wọn, wọ́n pa ẹgbàá mẹ́sàn ọkùnrin Israẹli, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ jagunjagun tí ń lo idà.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àní gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, gòkè lọ sí Beteli, níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n jókòó tí wọ́n sì ń sọkún níwájú Olúwa. Wọ́n gbààwẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ náà títí di àṣálẹ́, wọ́n sì rú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà sí Olúwa.
27 And the children of Israel asked of the LORD — for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa. (Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run wà níbẹ̀,
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days — saying: 'Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?' And the LORD said: 'Go up; for to-morrow I will deliver him into thy hand.'
Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari ọmọ Aaroni, ní ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní iwájú rẹ̀.) wọ́n béèrè pé, “Ṣe àwa tún le lọ sí ogun pẹ̀lú Benjamini arákùnrin wa tàbí kí a má lọ?” Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Ẹ lọ nítorí ní ọ̀la ni èmi yóò fi wọ́n lé e yín lọ́wọ́.”
29 And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì yàn àwọn ènìyàn tí ó sá pamọ́ yí Gibeah ká.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Wọ́n jáde tọ àwọn ọmọ Benjamini lọ ní ọjọ́ kẹta wọ́n sì dúró ní ipò wọn, wọ́n sì dìde ogun sí Gibeah bí wọ́n ti ṣe tẹ́lẹ̀ rí.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the field, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, about thirty men of Israel.
Àwọn ọmọ Benjamini sì jáde láti pàdé wọn, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì tàn wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ìlú náà. Wọ́n bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ṣẹ́gun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bí i ti àtijọ́ dé bi pé wọ́n pa bí ọgbọ̀n ọkùnrin ní pápá àti ní àwọn òpópó náà—àwọn ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Beteli àti èkejì sí Gibeah.
32 And the children of Benjamin said: 'They are smitten down before us, as at the first.' But the children of Israel said: 'Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.'
Nígbà tí àwọn Benjamini ń wí pé, “Àwa ti ń ṣẹ́gun wọn bí i ti ìṣáájú,” àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a sá kí a lè fà wọ́n kúrò ní ìlú sí ojú òpópó náà.”
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar; and the liers-in-wait of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli dìde kúrò ní ipò wọn, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó ogun ní Baali-Tamari, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli tí wọ́n sá pamọ́ sínú igbó jáde kúrò níbi tí wọ́n wà ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn Gibeah.
34 And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
Nígbà náà ni ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá àwọn àṣàyàn ológun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbógun ti Gibeah láti iwájú ogun náà le gidigidi dé bí i pé àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini kò funra pé ìparun wà nítòsí.
35 And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men; all these drew the sword.
Olúwa ṣẹ́gun Benjamini níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pa ẹgbàá méjìlá ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀fà ọkùnrin Benjamini, gbogbo wọn fi idà dìhámọ́ra ogun.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah. —
Àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini sì rí pé wọ́n ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn. Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli fàsẹ́yìn níwájú àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini nítorí pé wọ́n fọkàn tán àwọn tí ó wà ní ibùba ní ẹ̀bá Gibeah.
37 And the liers-in-wait hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew forth, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
Àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n lúgọ yára jáde wọ́n sì tètè wọ Gibeah, wọ́n fọ́nká wọ́n sì fi idà pa gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà nínú ìlú náà.
38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait, that they should make a great beacon of smoke rise up out of the city. —
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli àti àwọn tí o ba ní ibùba sínú igbó ti fún ara wọn ní àmì pé, kí àwọn tí ó ba ní ibùba fi èéfín ṣe ìkùùkuu ńlá láti inú ìlú náà,
39 And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said: 'Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.'

40 But when the beacon began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìkùùkuu èéfín bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rú sókè láti inú ìlú náà wá, àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini yípadà wọ́n sì rí èéfín gbogbo ìlú náà ń gòkè sí ojú ọ̀run.
41 And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì yípadà sí wọn, ẹ̀rù gidigidi sì ba àwọn ará Benjamini nítorí pé wọ́n mọ̀ pé àwọn wà nínú ewu.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the city destroyed them in the midst of the men of Israel.
Wọ́n sì sá níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sí apá àṣálẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò le sálà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ogun náà. Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli tí ó jáde láti inú àwọn ìlú wọn wá pa wọ́n run níbẹ̀.
43 They inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and overtook them at their resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
Wọ́n yí àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini ká, wọ́n lépa wọn, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n run pẹ̀lú ìrọ̀rùn ní ibi ìsinmi wọn ní agbègbè ìlà-oòrùn Gibeah.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
Ẹgbàá mẹ́sàn àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini ṣubú, gbogbo wọn jẹ́ akọni jagunjagun.
45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.

46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.

48 And the men of Israel turned back upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found; moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
