Judges 20
1 THEN all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the Lord in Mizpeh.
Bana nyonso ya Isalaele, wuta na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba mpe na mokili ya Galadi, babimaki lokola moto moko mpe basanganaki liboso ya Yawe, na Mitsipa.
2 And the chief 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.
Bakambi ya bato nyonso, ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kati na lisanga ya bato ya Nzambe: ezalaki na basoda nkoto nkama minei oyo batambolaka na makolo mpe bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
Bana ya libota ya Benjame bayokaki ete bana ya Isalaele mosusu bakendeki kuna na Mitsipa. Bongo bana ya Isalaele balobaki: — Yebisa biso ndenge nini kufa ya somo boye esalemaki.
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Molevi, mobali ya mwasi oyo babomaki, alobaki: — Ngai mpe makangu na ngai, toyaki na Gibea, na mokili ya Benjame mpo na kolekisa butu.
5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
Na kati-kati ya butu, bavandi ya Gibea batombokelaki ngai mpe bazingelaki ndako mpo ete baboma ngai; basangisaki nzoto na makasi na makangu na ngai, mpe akufaki.
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 folly in Israel.
Nakamataki makangu na ngai, nakataki ye na biteni mpe natindaki eteni moko na moko kati na etuka oyo bapesaki na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te bato ya libota ya Benjame basalaki likambo ya somo mpe ya soni.
7 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
Sik’oyo, bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, boloba mpe bokata likambo oyo.
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 into his house.
Bato nyonso batelemaki lokola moto moko mpe balobaki: « Moto moko te kati na biso akozonga na ndako na ye ya kapo to na ndako na ye.
9 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
Tala sik’oyo likambo oyo tokosala bato ya Gibea: Tokokende kobundisa bango kolanda ndenge zeke oyo tokobeta ekotalisa.
10 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
Tokozwa bato zomi kati na bato nkama moko ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, tokozwa bato nkama moko kati na bato nkoto moko mpe bato nkoto moko kati na bato nkoto zomi, mpo na kopesa biloko ya kolia epai ya mampinga. Bongo tango mampinga ekokoma na Gibea, na mokili ya Benjame, bakobundisa bato ya Gibea mpo na makambo nyonso ya somo oyo basalaki kati na Isalaele. »
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Boye, mibali nyonso ya Isalaele basanganaki esika moko mpe bayokanaki lokola moto moko mpo na kobundisa engumba Gibea.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
Bato ya bikolo ya Isalaele batindaki mibali kati na mabota nyonso ya Benjame mpe balobaki: « Ndenge nini bosali lisumu ya somo boye kati na bino?
13 Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which 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:
Sik’oyo, botindela biso bato mabe wana ya Gibea mpo ete toboma bango mpe tolongola mabe kati na Isalaele. » Kasi bato ya Benjame baboyaki koyokela baninga na bango, bana ya Isalaele.
14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Wuta na bingumba na bango nyonso ya mike, bato ya libota ya Benjame basanganaki esika moko, na Gibea, mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele.
15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Na mokolo wana, bato ya libota ya Benjame basangisaki basoda nkoto tuku mibale na motoba oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga, wuta na bamboka na bango nyonso ya mike, longola kaka engumba Gibea oyo esangisaki mibali ya bitumba nkama sambo.
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
Kati na basoda wana, ezalaki na mibali nkama sambo ya makasi oyo basalelaka loboko ya mwasi. Moto moko na moko kati na bango, soki abwaki libanga na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga, ekoki soki moke te kozanga kotuta suki moko.
17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
Mibali ya Isalaele, longola kaka bato ya libota ya Benjame, bazalaki nkoto nkama minei, ba-oyo bayebi kosalela mopanga; mpe bango nyonso bazalaki bato ya bitumba.
18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah shall go up first.
Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na Beteli mpe batunaki Nzambe: — Nani kati na biso asengeli kokende mpo na kobundisa libota ya Benjame? Yawe azongisaki: — Yuda akokende liboso.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Na tongo oyo elandaki, bana ya Isalaele bakendeki mpe batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Gibea.
20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
Mibali ya Isalaele babimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya libota ya Benjame mpe bamibongisaki mpo na kobundisa bango na Gibea.
21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
Bato ya libota ya Benjame babimaki na Gibea mpe babomaki, mokolo wana, mibali ya Isalaele nkoto tuku mibale na mibale.
22 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
Kasi mibali ya Isalaele bamilendisaki, bango na bango, mpe babongamaki na esika oyo bazalaki na mokolo ya liboso.
23 (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until even, and asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.)
Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki mpe balelaki liboso ya Yawe kino na pokwa, mpe batunaki Yawe: — Boni, tokende lisusu kobundisa bandeko na biso ya libota ya Benjame? Yawe azongiselaki bango: — Bokende kobundisa bango.
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Na mokolo ya mibale, bana ya Isalaele babundisaki bato ya libota ya Benjame.
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.
Na tango wana, bana ya libota ya Benjame bakimaki na Gibea mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele, babomaki lisusu mibali ya Isalaele nkoto zomi na mwambe; bango nyonso bazalaki bato oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki, bango nyonso, na Beteli, mpe kuna, bavandaki mpe balelaki liboso ya Yawe. Na mokolo wana, bana ya Isalaele bakilaki bilei kino na pokwa mpe babonzaki, epai na Yawe, mbeka ya kotumba mpe mbeka ya boyokani.
27 And the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Bana ya Isalaele batunaki Yawe. (Na mikolo wana, Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe ezalaki kuna.
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 them into thine hand.
Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron, azalaki na mosala liboso ya Sanduku). Batunaki: — Boni, tokende lisusu kobundisa bandeko na biso, bato ya libota ya Benjame to te? Yawe azongisaki: — Bokende, pamba te, lobi, nakokaba bango na maboko na bino.
29 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
Bongo mibali ya Isalaele babombamaki mpe bazingelaki Gibea.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na mokolo ya misato kobundisa libota ya Benjame mpe bamibongisaki malamu mpo na kobundisa Gibea lokola na mbala ya liboso.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Bana ya Benjame babimelaki bango mpe babendaki bango mosika ya engumba. Babandaki koboma bana ya Isalaele ndenge basalaki liboso; babomaki bato pene tuku misato kati na zamba, na nzela ya Beteli mpe ya Gibea.
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 from the city unto the highways.
Libota ya Benjame bakanisaki ete bakobeta bango ndenge basalaki liboso. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bazwaki mokano ya kokima mpe ya komema bango mosika ya engumba, mosika ya Gibea.
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
Na bongo, bana ya Isalaele batelemaki na bisika na bango mpe bakendeki kosangana mpo na bitumba, na Bala-Tamari. Bana ya Isalaele, oyo babombamaki, babimaki na bisika na bango mpe balandaki bango na etando ya polele, na Gibea.
34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
Mibali makasi ya Isalaele, nkoto zomi, babimaki na Gibea; mpe bitumba ezalaki makasi. Kasi bana ya libota ya Benjame basosolaki te mabe nini ekokomela bango.
35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
Yawe abetaki bana ya Benjame liboso ya Isalaele, mpe, na mokolo wana, bana ya Isalaele babomaki mibali nkoto tuku mibale na nkama moko kati na libota ya Benjame, ba-oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
Bongo bana ya Benjame bamonaki ete bakweyi penza na bitumba. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bakosaki kozonga sima mpo ete batiaki elikya na bango epai ya mibali oyo babombamaki pene ya Gibea.
37 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
Mibali yango babimelaki mbala moko Gibea, bapanzanaki mpe babetaki engumba mobimba na mopanga.
38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
Mibali ya Isalaele mpe bandeko na bango, oyo babombamaki pene ya Gibea, bayokanaki na elembo moko: mibali oyo babombamaki basengeli komatisa wuta na engumba lipata ya milinga na likolo.
39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, 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.
Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki lipata wana ya milinga, bapesaki mokongo na bitumba. Kasi mibali ya Benjame babandaki kobeta mpe koboma bana ya Isalaele pene tuku misato. Bakanisaki ete bakobeta bango ndenge basalaki liboso.
40 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
Kasi tango lipata ya milinga ebandaki komata makasi na likolo, bana ya Benjame babalukaki mpe bamonaki engumba na bango mobimba kopela moto mpe komatisa likonzi monene ya lipata ya milinga.
41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
Bana ya Isalaele babalolaki elongi na bango mpo na kotala mibali ya Benjame. Bongo mibali ya Benjame babangaki mpo ete bamonaki likama oyo ekomeli bango.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
Boye, bapesaki bana ya Isalaele mokongo mpe bakimaki na nzela ya esobe. Kasi bitumba elandaki bango, mpe mibali ya Isalaele, oyo babimaki na engumba Gibea, basilisaki koboma bango nyonso na nzela na bango.
43 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
Bazingelaki bana ya Benjame, balandaki bango na kozanga kopema mpe banyataki bango na makolo kino liboso ya Gibea, na ngambo oyo moyi ebimelaka.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
Kati na bana ya Benjame, mibali nkoto zomi na mwambe bakufaki: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba.
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 pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
Ndambo kati na bango bakimaki na nzela ya esobe, na ngambo ya libanga monene ya Rimoni. Na nzela, bana ya Isalaele babomaki bato nkoto mitano oyo balokotaki na nzela. Balandaki bango lisusu kino na Gideomi mpe babomaki mibali nkoto mibale.
46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
Motango nyonso ya bana ya Benjame oyo bakufaki na mokolo wana ezalaki nkoto tuku mibale na mitano: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba mpe bayebaki kobunda na mopanga.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
Mibali nkama motoba kati na bango balongaki kopesa mokongo mpe kokima na nzela ya esobe kino na libanga monene ya Rimoni. Bawumelaki kuna sanza minei.
48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
Mibali ya Isalaele bazongelaki bato ya libota ya Benjame mpe babomaki na mopanga mibali nyonso elongo na bibwele na bango, kobanda na engumba Gibea kino na bamboka mike. Batumbaki bamboka mike nyonso epai wapi balekaki.
