Judges 20
1 Then went out all the children of Israel, and the congregation was assembled together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', with the land of Gil'ad, unto the Lord in Mizpah.
To naah Israel kaminawk boih, Gilead prae ih kaminawk doeh Dan hoi Beersheba karoek to, Mizpah avang ah Angraeng hmaa ah maeto ah amkhueng o.
2 and there presented themselves the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the sword.
Israel acaeng hoi kaminawk zaehoikungnawk loe, Sithaw kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah angpop o; sumsen hoi misatuh thaih khok hoi misatuh kami sang cumvai palito oh o.
3 (And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Speak, how did this wickedness take place?
Israel kaminawk Mizpah vangpui ah caeh o, tiah Benjamin kaminawk mah thaih o. To naah Israel kaminawk mah, Hae tiah kaom kasae hmuen hae kawbangmaw oh na thui oh? tiah a naa o.
4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gib'ah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to stay one night,
Kadueh nongpata ih sava Levi mah, Kai loe aqum iih hanah Benjamin prae Gibeah vangpui ah ka zula hoi nawnto ka caeh.
5 When the men of Gib'ah rose against me, and beset the house round about against me by night; me they intended to slay; and my concubine they humbled, so that she died.
Gibeah vangpui ih kaminawk loe aqum ah ka toem ih im ah angzoh o moe, kai hum hanah im to takui o khoep; toe ka zula to duek khoek to zae o haih.
6 And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her about throughout all the fields of the inheritance of Israel; for they had committed incest and scandal in Israel.
Nihcae mah Israel prae acaeng thungah hae tiah nongpata nuiah zaehaih a sak o pongah, ka zula to ka lak moe, ka takroek pet pet pacoengah, Israelnawk mah qawk ah toep o ih prae boih ah ka pat.
7 Behold, ye are all here children of Israel: furnish for yourselves here advice and counsel.
Khenah, nangcae loe Israel kami ah na oh o; hae hmuen kawng hae ah thui oh loe, lok takroek oh, tiah a naa.
8 And all the people then arose as one man, saying, We will not go any of us to his tent, neither will we turn any of us into his house.
Israel kaminawk loe poekhaih maeto ah amhong o boih, mi doeh im ah amlaem hmah si, im ah caeh doeh caeh hmah si.
9 And now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gib'ah: We will go up against it by lot;
Vaihi taham khethaih phoisa to va si loe, Gibeah vangpui tuk hanah caeh o si.
10 And we will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to procure provisions for the people; that they may do, when they come to Gib'ah of Benjamin, in accordance with all the scandalous deed that they have wrought in Israel.
Benjamin kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk nuiah sak o ih kahoih ai hmuen baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah kating ah lu lak moe, Gibeah vangpui ah caeh kaminawk caaknaek paek thai hanah, Israel acaengnawk boih thung ih kami cumvaito thungah hato, sangto thungah cumvaito, sang hato thungah sangto kok si, tiah a thuih o.
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, associated together as one man.
To pongah Israel kaminawk boih, maeto ah amkhueng o moe, vangpui to tuk hanah poekhaih maeto ah amhong o.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that hath been done among you?
Israel kaminawk mah Benjamin acaengnawk khaeah laicaeh patoeh boih, Hae baktih kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih loe nangcae salakah kawbangmaw oh?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, those worthless people, who are in Gib'ah, that we may put them to death, and remove evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
To pongah Gibeah vangpui ah kaom kasae kaminawk to ka hum o moe, Israel prae thung hoiah to baktih kasae hmuen sakhaih oh han ai ah, kahoih ai kaminawk to kaicae ban ah na paek oh, tiah a naa o. Toe Benjamin kaminawk mah angmacae nawkamya Israel kaminawk ih lok to tiah doeh sah pae o ai.
14 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gib'ah, to go out to battle with the children of Israel.
Toe Israel kaminawk to tuk hanah, avang boih ih Benjamin kaminawk loe Gibeah vangpui ah caeh o moe, to ah amkhueng o.
15 And at that time there were numbered of the children of Benjamin out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew the sword, beside the inhabitants of Gib'ah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Benjamin kaminawk loe, Gibeah vangpui thung hoiah qoih ih sumsen hoi misatuh thaih kami cumvai sarihto, alah avangnawk hoiah kok ih kami sang pumphae tarukto oh o.
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lame in the right hand: every one of these could sling a stone at a hair, and would not miss.
To kaminawk thungah sam maeto mataeng doeh haeh ai ah, ngazai hoi kazai thaih, banqoi ban patoh kop qoih ih kami cumvai sarihto oh o.
17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of war.
Benjamin kaminawk thui ai ah, sumsen hoi misatuh thaih Israel kaminawk loe sang cumvai palito oh o.
18 And they arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and the children of Israel said, Who of us shall go up at first to the battle with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah, at first.
Israel kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, Sithaw im ah caeh o tahang pacoengah, Benjamin kaminawk tuk hanah mi maw caeh hmaloe tih? tiah angmacae ih Sithaw khaeah a dueng o. Angraeng mah, Judah caeh hmaloe tih, tiah a naa.
19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gib'ah.
Israel kaminawk loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o moe, Gibeah vangpui to takui o.
20 And the men of Israel went out to battle with Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in battle-array against them by Gib'ah.
Israel kaminawk loe Benjamin kaminawk to tuk hanah caeh o, Gibeah vangpui ah nihcae to tuk hanah amsak o.
21 And the Children of Benjamin came forth out of Gib'ah, and struck down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
Benjamin kaminawk loe vangpui thung hoiah tacawt o, to na niah Israel kaminawk to long ah sang pumphae hnetto a hum o.
22 And the people the men of Israel took courage, and set themselves again in battle-array in the place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
Toe Israel kaminawk loe maeto pacoeng maeto tha angpaek o moe, hmaloe ah ataihaih ahmuen ah atai o let.
23 And the children of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until the evening, and asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I again approach to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.
Israel kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, duembang khoek to Angraeng hmaa ah qah o pacoengah, Angraeng khaeah, Kam nawk, Benjamin tuk hanah ka caeh o tahang let han maw? tiah a dueng o. Angraeng mah, Caeh o tahangh loe, nihcae to tuh oh, tiah a naa.
24 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
To pongah ni hnetto haih naah loe, Israel kaminawk mah Benjamin kaminawk tuk hanah a taengah anghnai o thuih.
25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gib'ah on the second day, and struck down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men: all these were men that drew the sword.
Ni hnetto naah Benjamin kaminawk loe Israel kaminawk tuk hanah Gibeah vangpui thung hoiah tacawt o moe, sumsen sin Israel kami sang hatlai tazetto long ah a hum o let bae.
26 Now 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 on that day until the evening, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.
To naah Israel kaminawk boih, Angraeng im ah caeh o tahang moe, anghnut o pacoengah, Angraeng hmaa ah qah o. Duembang khoek to buhzah o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak o.
27 And the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, (for there was the ark of the covenant of God in those days,
To pacoengah Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah lokdueng o; to nathuem ah Angraeng lokmaihaih to ah oh.
28 And Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, shall I yet continue to go out to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I forbear? And the Lord said, Go up; for tomorrow will I deliver him into thy hand.
Aaron capa Phinehas, Phinehas capa Eleazar loe to ah toksahkung ah oh; nihcae mah, Nawkamya, Benjamin tuk hanah ka caeh o han maw, ka caeh o mak ai? tiah dueng o. To naah Angraeng mah, Caeh oh, khawnbangah nihcae to nangcae ban ah kang paek han, tiah a naa.
29 And Israel sent men to lie in wait round about Gib'ah.
To naah Israel kaminawk mah Gibeah vangpui to takui o khoep.
30 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gib'ah, as at previous times.
Ni thumto naah, Israel kaminawk loe Benjamin acaengnawk tuk hanah caeh o tahang let.
31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite some of the people, and kill, as at previous times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gib'ah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Benjamin kaminawk loe kaminawk tuk hanah vangpui hoi tacawt o moe, ahmuen kangthla ah caeh o; a sak o zong ih baktih toengah, Israel kaminawk to tuk o moe, a hum o; Sithaw im caehhaih loklam hoi Gibeah vangpui caehhaih loklam ah Israel kaminawk to quithumto hum o.
32 And the children of Benjamin said, They are defeated before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
Benjamin kaminawk mah hmaloe ah a sak o ih baktih toengah, nihcae to pazawk boeh, tiah a poek o. Toe Israel kaminawk mah, Cawn o si loe, nihcae to vangpui thung hoiah vapui bangah zoek si, tiah thuih o.
33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Ba'al-thamar: and those that lay in wait of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Gib'ah.
Israel kaminawk boih ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk o moe, Baal-Tamar vangpui ah atai o let; to naah misatoep Israel kaminawk loe Gibeah vangpui azawn hoiah angzoh o.
34 And there came against Gib'ah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that the evil was overtaking them.
To naah Israel kaminawk thung hoiah qoih ih kami sang hato mah Gibeah vangpui to tuk o; misa angtukhaih loe paroeai rai, toe angmacae nuiah sethaih pha tih boeh, tiah Benjamin kaminawk mah panoek o ai.
35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites on that day twenty and five thousand and one hundred men: all these were those that drew the sword.
Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hmaa ah Benjamin to pazawk pae; to na niah Angraeng mah sumsen hoiah misatuh Benjamin kami, sang pumphae pangato pacoeng, cumvaito a hum pae.
36 And the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto those that lay in wait whom they had set against Gib'ah.
To naah Benjamin kaminawk mah ka sung o boeh, tiah panoek o; Gibeah vangpui taeng ih misa angang kaminawk to a oep o pongah, Israel kaminawk loe Benjamin kaminawk hmaa ah hnuk angnawn pae o.
37 And those in ambush hastened, and spread themselves over Gib'ah; and those that lay in wait moved along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
To naah misa angang kaminawk loe Gibeah vangpui thungah akun o moe, vangpui thung ih kaminawk boih sumsen hoi hum o.
38 Now there was an understanding between the men of Israel and those that lay in wait, that they should make an abundance of columns of smoke rise up out of the city.
Israel kaminawk loe vangpui to hmai hoi thlaek hanah, misa angang kaminawk hoiah lok angsuek o.
39 And when the men of Israel turned round in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are entirely defeated before us, as in the first battle:
Israel kaminawk misatukhaih hoi hnukbang angnawn o naah, Benjamin kaminawk mah, canghniah Israel kaminawk ka pazawk o moe, ka hum o baktiah, pazawk let tih, tiah a poek o, to naah nihcae mah Israel kaminawk to quithumto a hum o.
40 Then began the cloud to arise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke; and when the Benjamites looked behind them, behold, the flames of all the city were ascending up to heaven.
Toe Benjamin kaminawk nihcae khae hoi amlaem o naah, vangpui thung hoiah tacawt tahang hmaikhue to a hnuk o.
41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that the evil had overtaken them.
Israel kaminawk mah nihcae angqoi thuih naah, Benjamin kaminawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o; a sak o ih zaehaih atho angmacae nuiah phak boeh, tiah nihcae mah panoek o.
42 Therefore they turned round before the men of Israel unto the way to the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
To pongah Israel kaminawk hmaa ah praezaek ah cawnh o, toe loih o ai; misatuh kaminawk mah patom o moe, kae o naah, vangpui thung hoi tacawt kaminawk to nihcae mah hum o boih.
43 They enclosed the Benjamites round about, chased them, they overtook them in their places of rest, as far as opposite to Gib'ah toward the rising of the sun.
Benjamin kaminawk to patom o moe, zoidaekta ah Gibeah ni angyae bangah kae o, to naah nihcae to takui o khoep.
44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these were men of valor.
Thacak misatuh Benjamin kaminawk sang hatlai tazetto duek o.
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 they pursued hard after them as far as Gid'om, and slew of them two thousand men.
Nihcae loe hnuk angnawn o moe, Rimmon thlung ohhaih ahmuen praezaek ah cawnh o, toe Israel kaminawk mah nihcae to patom o moe, loklam ah kami sang pangato hum o; Benjamin kaminawk to Gidom karoek to patom o moe, kami sang hnetto hum o let.
46 So that all who fell on that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of valor.
To na niah sumsen hoi misatuh Benjamin kami sang pumphae pangato duek o; nihcae boih loe misatuk kop kami ah oh o.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled into the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and they abode on the rock Rimmon four months.
Toe kami cumvai taruktonawk loe amlaem o let moe, Rimmon thlung ohhaih ahmuen praezaek ah cawnh o; to ahmuen ah khrah palito thung a oh o.
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 beasts, and all that was found: also all the cities that they came upon did they set on fire.
Israel kaminawk mah Benjamin kaminawk to pangh o let moe, vangpui thung ih kaminawk hoi pacah ih moinawk boih to sumsen hoiah hum o; a caeh o naah a hnuk o ih vangpuinawk to hmai hoiah qoeng pae o boih.
