Judges 20
1 And all the children of Israel went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.
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 all the tribes of Israel stood before the Lord 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 And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Massepha: and the children of Israel came and said, Tell us, where did this wickedness take place?
(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 slain, answered and said, I and my concubine went to Gabaa of Benjamin 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 Gabaa rose up against me, and compassed the house by night against me; they wished to kill me, and they have humbled my concubine, 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 laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have wrought lewdness and abomination 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, all you [are] children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here among yourselves.
Nísinsin yìí, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli, ẹ sọ ìmọ̀ràn yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìdájọ́ yín.”
8 And all the people rose up as one man, saying, No one of us shall return to his tent, and no one of us shall return to 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 And now this [is] the thing which shall be done in Gabaa; 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 Moreover we will take ten men for a hundred for all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred for a thousand, and a thousand for ten thousand, to take provision, to cause them to come to Gabaa of Benjamin, to do to it according to all the abomination, which they 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 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city 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 the whole tribe of Benjamin, saying, What [is] this wickedness that has been wrought 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 then give up the men the sons of transgressors that are in Gabaa, and we will put them to death, and purge out wickedness from Israel: but the children of Benjamin consented not to listen 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 were gathered from their cities to Gabaa, to go forth to fight with 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 from their cities were numbered in that day, twenty-three thousand, [every] man drawing a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men of all the people, able to use both hands alike;
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.

17 And the men of Israel, exclusive of Benjamin, were 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 they arose and went up to Baethel, and enquired of God: and the children of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first to fight with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Juda shall go up first as leader.
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 Gabaa.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dìde ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, wọ́n sì dó ti Gibeah (wọ́n tẹ̀gùn sí ẹ̀bá Gibeah).
20 And they went out, all the men of Israel, to fight with Benjamin, and engaged with them at Gabaa.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli jáde lọ láti bá àwọn ará Benjamini jà wọ́n sì dúró ní ipò ogun sí wọn ní Gibeah.
21 And the sons of Benjamin went forth from Gabaa, and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men down to the ground.

22 And the men of Israel strengthened themselves, and again engaged in battle in the place where they had engaged on 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 till evening, and enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we again draw near to battle with our brethren the children of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up against them.
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 advanced against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì tún súnmọ́ tòsí àwọn ará Benjamini ní ọjọ́ kejì.
25 And the children of Benjamin went forth to meet them from Gabaa on the second day, and destroyed of the children of Israel yet further eighteen thousand men down to the ground: all these drew sword.

26 And the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Baethel; and they wept, and sat there before the Lord; and they fasted on that day until evening, and offered whole burnt offerings and perfect sacrifices, 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.

Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa. (Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run wà níbẹ̀,
28 and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron stood before it in those days; and the children of Israel enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall we yet again go forth to fight with our brethren the sons of Benjamin? and the Lord said, Go up, to-morrow I will give them into your hands.

29 And the children of Israel set an ambush against Gabaa round about [it].
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 arrayed themselves against Gabaa as before.
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 to meet the people, and were all drawn out of the city, and began to strike and kill the people as before in the roads, whereof one goes up to Baethel, and one to Gabaa in the field, 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 fall before us as at the first: but the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them out from the city into the roads; and they did so.
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 rose up out of their places, and engaged in Baal Thamar; and the liers in wait of Israel advanced from their place from Maraagabe.
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 Gabaa ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel; and the fight [was] severe; and they knew not that evil was coming 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 struck Benjamin before the children of Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin in that day a hundred and twenty-five thousand men: all these drew 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 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; and the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted in the ambuscade which they had prepared against Gabaa.
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 when they retreated, then the liers in wait rose up, and they moved toward Gabaa, and the whole ambush came forth, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword.

38 And the children of Israel had a signal of battle with the liers in wait, that they should send up a signal of smoke from the city.

39 And the children of Israel saw that the liers in wait had seized Gabaa, and they stood in line of battle; and Benjamin began to strike down wounded ones among the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they fall again before us, as in the first battle.

40 And the signal went up increasingly over the city as a pillar of smoke; and Benjamin looked behind him, and behold the destruction of the city went up to heaven.

41 And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin hasted, because they saw that evil had 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 And they turned to the way of the wilderness from before the children of Israel, and fled: but the battle overtook them, and they from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
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 And they cut down Benjamin, and pursued him from Nua closely till they came opposite Gabaa on the east.

44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these [were] men of might.

45 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon; and the children of Israel picked off of them five thousand men; and the children of Israel went down after them as far as Gedan, and they struck of them two thousand men.

47 And the rest turned, and fled to the wilderness to the rock of Remmon, even [six] hundred men; and they sojourned four months in the rock of Remmon.

48 And the children of Israel returned to the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from the city of Methla, even to the cattle, and every thing that was found in all the cities: and they burnt with fire the cities they found.
