Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
Israaʼeloonni, “Nu keessaa namni tokko illee Beniyaamotatti intala isaa heerumsiisuu hin qabu” jedhanii Miisphaatti wal kakachiisanii turan.
2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
Sabnis gara Beetʼeel dhaqanii hamma galgalaatti fuula Waaqaa dura taaʼuudhaan sagalee isaanii ol fuudhanii hiqqifatanii booʼan.
3 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
Isaanis, “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel, wanni kun maaliif Israaʼel irra gaʼe? Harʼa gosti tokko maaliif Israaʼel keessaa dhabamaa?” jedhanii iyyan.
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Namoonnis guyyaa itti aanutti ganamaan iddoo aarsaa tolchanii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeessan.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who [is there] among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Ergasiis Israaʼeloonni, “Gosoota Israaʼel hundumaa keessaa gosti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin kami?” jedhanii gaafatan. Namni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin haa ajjeefamu jedhanii Miisphaatti walii kakatanii turaniitii.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Israaʼeloonni garuu obboloota isaanii Beniyaamotaaf garaa laafanii akkana jedhan; “Harʼa gosti tokko Israaʼel irraa citeera.
7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
Egaa warra hafaniif akkamitti niitota argachuu dandeenya? Nu akka intallan keenya isaanitti hin heerumsiifne Waaqayyoon kakanneerraatii.”
8 And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
Ergasiis, “Gosti Miisphaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin kami?” jedhan. Isaanis akka namni tokko iyyuu Yaabeesh Giliʼaadii gara qubataa wal gaʼiidhaaf hin dhufin beekan.
9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
Yeroo namoota lakkaaʼanittis akka namni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad tokko iyyuu achi hin jirre hubatan.
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Kanaafuu waldaan sun loltoota kuma kudha lama gara Yaabeesh Giliʼaad ergee akka isaan warra achi jiraatan, dubartootaa fi daaʼimman dabalanii goraadeedhaan fixan ajaje.
11 And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
Isaanis, “Wanni isin gochuu qabdan kanaa dha; dhiira hundaa fi dubartoota durbummaa hin qabne hunda ajjeesaa” jedhan.
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
Isaanis namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaad keessa jiraatan keessaa dubarran takkumaa dhiirri bira hin gaʼin dhibba afur argatan; gara biyya Kanaʼaan kan qubata Shiilootti argamu sanaattis isaan fidan.
13 And the whole congregation sent [some] to speak to the children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
Ergasiis waldaan guutuun Beniyaamota kattaa Rimoon bira jiraatanitti waamicha nagaa ergan.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
Beniyaamonnis yeroo sanatti ni dachaʼan; dubartoonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad kanneen duʼa jalaa baraaraman akka niitota isaaniif taʼaniif kennamaniif; garuu hunda isaanii wal hin geenye.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Namoonnis sababii Waaqayyo gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti gargari baʼumsa uumeef Beniyaamiif gaddan.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Maanguddoonni waldaas akkana jedhan; “Dubartoonni Beniyaam dhumaniiru; egaa dhiirota hafaniif akkamitti niitota argachuu dandeenya?
17 And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Akka gosti tokko Israaʼel keessaa hin badneef Beniyaamonni hafan dhaaltota argachuu qabu.
18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
Nu Israaʼeloonni sababii, ‘Namni intala isaa Beniyaamotatti heerumsiisu haa abaaramu’ jennee kakanneef, intallan keenya niitummaadhaan isaanii kennuu hin dandeenyu.
19 Then they said, Behold, [there is] a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly [in a place] which [is] on the north side of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Kunoo ayyaanni Waaqayyoo tokko wagguma waggaan Shiilootti ni ayyaaneffama; Shiiloon kunis Beetʼeel irraa gara kaabaatti, karaa Beetʼeelii baʼee Sheekemitti geessu irraa gara baʼaatti akkasumas Leboonaa irraa gara kibbaatti argamti.”
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Kanaafuu isaan akkana jedhanii Beniyaamota gorsan; “Dhaqaa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessa riphaa eeggadhaa.
21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Ilaalaa; yommuu dubarri Shiiloo sirbaaf baʼanitti iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaa baʼaatii tokkoo tokkoo keessaniif niitii tokko tokko qabaadhaatii gara Beniyaamitti deebiʼaa.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, [that] ye should be guilty.
Yommuu abbootiin isaanii yookaan obboloonni isaanii nutti himatanitti, ‘Sababii nu yeroo waraanaatti tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif niitii arguu hin dandaʼiniif isin isaan gargaaruudhaan dhiifama nuu godhaa; isinis sababii jaallattanii dubara keessan hin kenniniif balleessaa hin qabdan’ jennaan.”
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took [them] wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
Beniyaamonnis akkuma isaanitti himame sana godhan; utuma dubarran sirbaa jiranuus tokkoon tokkoon namaa tokko tokko butee akka niitii isaa taatuuf fudhatee qajeele. Ergasiis gara dhaala isaaniitti deebiʼanii magaalaa isaanii haaromfatanii achi jiraatan.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
Yeroo sanattis ijoolleen Israaʼel iddoo sanaa kaʼanii gara mana isaanii, gara gosa isaanii, gara lammii isaaniitii fi gara dhaala isaaniitti deebiʼan.
25 In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
Bara sana Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture; tokkoon tokkoon namaa waanuma isatti tole hojjeta ture.
