Judges 9
1 And Abimelech son of Jerubba‘al goes to Shechem, to his mother’s brothers, and speaks to them, and to all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
Gidione egefe amo Abimelege (Gidione ea gidisedagi uda ea mano) da Siegeme moilai bai bagadega asi. Ea ame ea sosogo fi da amogawi esalu. E da ilima amane sia: i,
2 “Now speak in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, Which [is] good for you—seventy men ruling over you (all the sons of Jerubba‘al), or one man ruling over you? And you have remembered that I [am] your bone and your flesh.”
“Siegeme dunu ilima amane adole ba: ma, ‘Dilima ouligisuwane esaloma: ne dilia da nowa hanabela: ? Gidione egefe70da dilima ouligisu esalumu da defeala: ? O dunu afadafa fawane da defeala: ? Mae gogolema! Abimelege da dilia fidafa dunu. Dilia hu amola maga: me afadafa fawane hamoi galu.’”
3 And his mother’s brothers speak concerning him, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclines after Abimelech, for they said, “He [is] our brother”;
Abimelege ame ea sosogo fi da amo sia: Siegeme dunuma sia: dasu. Amola Siegeme dunu da Abimelege ema fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: i galu. Bai Abimelege da ilia sosogo fi dunu esalu, ilia ba: i.
4 and they give seventy [pieces] of silver out of the house of Ba‘al-Berith to him, and Abimelech hires vain and unstable men with them, and they go after him;
Ilia da Ba: ile gousa: su hamoi amo ea debolo diasuga, muni silifa fage 70 agoane lale, Abimelegema i. Abimelege da hamedei wadela: i hamosu dunu e fidima: ne sia: i amola, ilima amo muni i.
5 and he goes into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slays his brothers, sons of Jerubba‘al, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubba‘al, is left, for he was hidden.
E da ea ada diasu Ofala moilai bai bagadega dialu amoga asili, igi afae amo da: iya ea yolali (Gidione egefe) 70 agoane huluane medole legei dagoi. Be Youda: me (Gidione ea ufidafa mano) da wamoaligili, esalebe ba: i.
6 And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which [is] in Shechem;
Amalalu, Siegeme dunu huluane da gilisili, sema ouge ifa Siegeme sogega lelu amoga asili, Abimelege hina bagade ilegei dagoi.
7 and they declare [it] to Jotham, and he goes and stands on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifts up his voice, and calls, and says to them, “Listen to me, O masters of Shechem, and God listens to you:
Youda: me da amo sia: nababeba: le, asili, Gelesime Goumi amo da: iya gado lelu, amane wele sia: i, “Dilia Siegeme dunu! Na sia: nabima! Amasea, Gode da dilia sia: nabima: bela: ?
8 The trees have diligently gone to anoint a king over them, and they say to the olive, Reign over us.
Eso afaega, ifa huluane da gilisili, ilia hina bagade ilegema: ne gilisi. Ilia da olife ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
9 And the olive says to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honor gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
Be olife ifa da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na fage amoga dunu ilia susuligi amo ‘gode’ amola osobo bagade dunu ilima nodomusa: laha. Be na da dili ouligisia, susuligi bu hamomu da hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
10 And the trees say to the fig, Come, reign over us.
Amalalu, ifa eno ilia da figi ifa amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
11 And the fig says to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness, and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
Be figi ifa da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na da dili ouligisia, noga: i hedai fage bu legemu da hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
12 And the trees say to the vine, Come, reign over us.
Amalalu, ifa ilia da waini efe amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misini, ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
13 And the vine says to them, Have I ceased from my new wine, which is making gods and men glad, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
Be waini efe da bu adole i, ‘Hame mabu! Na waini hano da ‘gode’ ili amola osobo bagade dunu amo nasea hahawane ba: sa. Be na da dilia ouligisia, waini hano bu imunu hamedeiwane ba: mu.’
14 And all the trees say to the bramble, Come, reign over us.
Amalalu, ifa huluane da aya: gaga: nomei legei ifa fonobahadi amoma amane sia: i, ‘Di misa! Ninia hina bagade hamoma.’
15 And the bramble says to the trees, If in truth you are anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow; and if not—fire comes out from the bramble, and devours the cedars of Lebanon.
Aya: gaga: nomei legei ifa da bu adole i, ‘Defea! Dilia da dafawane na dilia hina bagade hamomu hanai galea, misa amola na ougia hagudua aligima. Dilia agoane hame hamosea, na aya: gaga: nomei legei amoda amoga lalu da gadili nenanebe ba: mu. Amola amo lalu da Lebanone soge dolo ifa huluane nene dagomu.’”
16 And now, if you have acted in truth and in sincerity when you make Abimelech king; and if you have done good with Jerubba‘al, and with his house; and if you have done to him according to the deed of his hands—
Youda: me da eno amane sia: i, “Dilia da Abimelege hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegebeba: le, noga: i amola moloiwane hamobela: ? Gidione amola ea sosogo fi da hou noga: idafa hamosu. Be dilia da amo nodone dawa: beba: le, amo hou hamobela: ?
17 because my father has fought for you, and casts his life away from [him], and delivers you from the hand of Midian;
Na ada da dili gaga: ma: ne fidili gegei dagoi. Amo mae gogolema! E da ea esalusu mae dawa: le, dili Midia: ne dunu ilima gaga: ma: ne fidili gegei.
18 and you have risen against the house of my father today, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, because he [is] your brother—
Be wali esoga dilia da na ada sosogo fi amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Dilia da ea mano 70 amo huluane igi afadafa da: iya medole legei dagoi. Abimelege da Gidione ea hawa: hamosu uda amo ea mano. Be e da dilia sosogo fiba: le, dilia da e Isala: ili dunu ouligima: ne, ema ilegei dagoi.
19 indeed, if in truth and in sincerity you have acted with Jerubba‘al and with his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and he rejoices—even he—in you;
Amaiba: le amo hou dilia da Gidione amola ea sosogo fi ilima wali eso hamoi, amo da hou noga: i amola moloi ba: sea, defea, dilia Abimelege ema hahawane galoma. Amola e da dilima hahawane ganumu da defea.
20 and if not—fire comes out from Abimelech and devours the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire comes out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devours Abimelech.”
Be amai hame galea, defea, lalu da Abimelege amoga nene, Siegeme dunu amola Bedemilou dunu nene dagoi ba: mu da defea. Amola lalu da Siegeme dunu amola Bedemilou dunu amoga nene, Abimelege amola nei dagoi ba: mu da defea.”
21 And Jotham hurries, and flees, and goes to Beer, and dwells there, from the face of his brother Abimelech.
Amalalu, Youda: me da ea ola Abimelege ema beda: iba: le, hobeale, asili, Bie sogega doaga: le, esalu.
22 And Abimelech is prince over Israel [for] three years,
Abimelege da ode udiana amoga Isala: ili soge ouligisu.
23 and God sends an evil spirit between Abimelech and the masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal treacherously with Abimelech,
Amalalu, Gode da Abimelege amola Siegeme dunu ela da sia: ga gegema: ne hamoi. Ilia da Abimelege fisili, ema ha laiwane ba: i.
24 for [the] coming in of [the] violence [against] seventy sons of Jerubba‘al, and to place their blood on their brother Abimelech, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.
Abimelege amola Siegeme dunu (ilia da Abimelege fidi amola ea dogo denesi) ilia da Gidione ea manoni 70 agoane fufuga: i. Ilia da amo wadela: i hou se iasu dabe lama: ne, Gode da ilima afafasu hou i.
25 And the masters of Shechem set ambushes for him on the top of the hills, and rob everyone who passes over by them in the way, and it is declared to Abimelech.
Siegeme dunu da goumi gadodili Abimelege fuga: ma: ne logo la: ididili wamoaligisu. Nowa dunu da logoga ahoanoba, ilia da amo dunu ilia liligi wamolasu. Eno dunu da amo hou Abimelegema olelei.
26 And Gaal son of Ebed comes—also his brothers—and they pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in him,
Amalalu, Ga: ile (Ebede ea egefe) amola yolalali da Siegeme sogega misi. Siegeme dunu da ema fa: no bobogei.
27 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech.
Ilia huluane da ilia waini sagai amoga asili, waini fage faili, waini hano hamone, lolo nasu gilisisu hamoi. Ilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ ea debolo diasu amo ganodini golili sa: ili, ha: i mai, waini hano mai amola Abimelege ea hou gadele sia: dasu.
28 And Gaal son of Ebed says, “Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we serve him? Is [he] not son of Jerubba‘al? And his commander Zebul? The men of Hamor father of Shechem serve you, and why do we serve him—we?
Ga: ile da amane sia: i, “Ninia hou da adi houla: ? Ninia abuliba: le Abimelege ea hawa: hamosala: ? E da nowala: ? E da Gidione ea mano fawane. Sibale da ea sia: naba, be ninia da abuliba: le ema fa: no bobogesala: ? Dilia aowalalia eda amo Ha: imo da dilia fi muni hemosu. Ema fa: no bobogemu da defea.
29 And oh that this people were in my hand—then I turn Abimelech aside”; and he says to Abimelech, “Increase your host, and come out.”
Na da dilia fi ilima ouligisu ganiaba, na da Abimelege amo sefasila: loba. Na da ema, ‘Dia dadi gagui gilisisu hahamoma! Gadili asili ninima gegema!’ na da ema sia: na: noba.”
30 And Zebul, prince of the city, hears the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger burns,
Siegeme moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu amo Sibale, da Ga: ile ea sia: nababeba: le, mi hanai galu.
31 and he sends messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, “Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers are coming into Shechem, and behold, they are fortifying the city against you;
Abimelege da Aluma sogega esalu. Sibale da ema adola ahoasu dunu asunasi. Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Ga: ile (Ebede egefe) amola yolali da Siegeme moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Ilia da di Siegeme golili sa: imu logo ga: simu.
32 and now, rise by night, you and the people who [are] with you, and lay wait in the field,
Amaiba: le, di amola dima fa: no bobogesu dunu amo gasia wa: legadole, moifufu ganodini wamoaligima.
33 and it has been, in the morning, about the rising of the sun, you rise early, and have pushed against the city; and behold, he and the people who [are] with him are going out to you—and you have done to him as your hand finds.”
Aya hahabe, eso mabe amoga wa: legadole amola moilai bai bagadega doagala: ma. Amasea, Ga: ile amola ea dunu da dilima gegemusa: gadili ahoasea, dia ha: giwane ili fama.”
34 And Abimelech rises, and all the people who [are] with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem—four detachments;
Amaiba: le, Abimelege amola ea dunu huluane da gasia asili, Siegeme moilai bai bagadega gadili wamoaligi. Ilia da gilisisu biyadu gala hamoi.
35 and Gaal son of Ebed goes out, and stands at the opening of the gate of the city, and Abimelech rises—also the people who [are] with him—from the ambush,
Abimelege amola ea dunu da Ga: ile gadili misini moilai bai bagade logo ga: su amoga lelebe ba: loba, ilia da ilia wamoaligisu sogebi fisili, wa: legadoi.
36 and Gaal sees the people and says to Zebul, “Behold, people are coming down from the top of the hills”; and Zebul says to him, “You are seeing the shadow of the hills like men.”
Ga: ile da amo dunu ba: le, Sibalema amane sia: i, “Hodoma! Dunu da goumi gado fisili manebe goea!” Sibale da bu adole i, “Amo da dunu hame. Amo da baba goumia digaga: la: i fawane.”
37 And Gaal adds yet to speak and says, “Behold, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and another detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.”
Be Ga: ile da bu sia: i, “Hodoma! Dunu da goumi felea gado manebegoea. Amola gilisisu eno da logo amo da ba: la: lusu dunu ilia ouge ifa amoga maha amoga manebe na ba: sa.”
38 And Zebul says to him, “Where [is] your mouth now, in that you say, Who [is] Abimelech that we serve him? Is this not the people against which you have kicked? Please go out now and fight against it.”
Amalalu, Sibale da ema amane sia: i, “Defea! Dia gasa fi sia: da wali habila: ? Dia gasa fili, ninia abuliba: le amo dunu Abimelege ea hawa: hamosala: ? sia: i dagoi. Amo dunu wali manebe da dunu dia hihini lasogoi dagoi. Di gadili asili, ilima gegema.”
39 And Gaal goes out before the masters of Shechem, and fights against Abimelech,
Ga: ile da Siegeme dunu gadili oule asili, Abimelege amoma gegei.
40 and Abimelech pursues him, and he flees from his presence, and many fall wounded—to the opening of the gate.
Ga: ile hobea: i amola Abimelege da e sefasi. Dunu bagohame da moilai logo ga: su amoga fa: faginisi bagade ba: i.
41 And Abimelech abides in Arumah, and Zebul casts out Gaal and his brothers from dwelling in Shechem.
Abimelege da Aluma moilaiga esalu. Amola Sibale da Ga: ile amola yolali gadili sefasi. Amaiba: le, ilia bu Siegeme moilai amo ganodini esalumu hamedeiwane ba: i.
42 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the people go out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech,
Aya amoha, Abimelege da Siegeme dunu da ilia ifabi amoga masusa: dawa: i, e da amane nabi.
43 and he takes the people, and divides them into three detachments, and lays wait in a field, and looks, and behold, the people are coming out from the city, and he rises against them, and strikes them.
Amaiba: le, e da ea dunu afafane, gilisisu udiana hamone, ifabi ganodini wamoaligili, ouesalu. E da Siegeme dunu moilaiga gadili manebe ba: loba, e da ea wamoaligisu fisili, ili medomusa: misi.
44 And Abimelech and the detachments who [are] with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and strike them,
Abimelege amola ea gilisisu da hehenane, moilai bai bagade logo ga: su amo ouligimusa: ahoanoba, ea eno gilisisu aduna da Siegeme dunu ifabia esalu amoga doagala: le, huluane medole legei dagoi.
45 and Abimelech has fought against the city all that day, and captures the city, and has slain the people who [are] in it, and he breaks down the city, and sows it [with] salt.
Amo esoga ilia mae fisili gegenanu. Abimelege da Siegeme moilai amo lai dagoi. E da dunu huluane medole legele, diasu huluane mugululi, osobo amo deme amoga dedeboi.
46 And all the masters of the Tower of Shechem hear, and go into the high place of the house of the god Berith,
Be Siegeme ouligisu dunu da gasa bagade diasu amo ganodini gagili sali ba: i. Ilia da amo hou nababeba: le, hehenane gasa bagade ‘Ba: ile da Gousa: su Hamoi’ ea debolo diasu ganodini gagili sali.
47 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the Tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together,
Ilia da amo debolo diasu ganodini gagili sali amo nababeba: le, Abimelege da Sa: lamoune Goumi amoga ea dunu oule asi. Amalalu, e da goaha: i lale, ifa amoda damuni, amo gisa asi. Ea dunu da amo defele hedolo hamoma: ne, e sia: i.
48 and Abimelech goes up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who [are] with him, and Abimelech takes the great axe in his hand, and cuts off a bough of the trees, and lifts it up, and sets [it] on his shoulder, and says to the people who [are] with him, “What you have seen me do—hurry, do as I [have done].”
49 And every one of the people cuts down his bough and goes after Abimelech, and sets [them] at the high place, and burns the high place with fire by these, and also all the men of the Tower of Shechem die—about one thousand men and women.
Amaiba: le, dunu huluane da ifa amoda damui. Amalalu, ilia da Abimelege amoma fa: no bobogele, ifa huluane amo Ba: ile gasa bagade diasu amo ea baiga ligisili, lalu didi. Lalu da amo diasu nene dagoi. Dunu amola uda (1,000 agoane) huluane amo diasu ganodini esalu da bogogia: i dagoi.
50 And Abimelech goes to Thebez, and encamps against Thebez, and captures it,
Amalalu, Abimelege da Dibese moilai bai bagadega asili, sisiga: le, lai dagoi.
51 and a strong tower has been in the midst of the city, and all the men and the women flee there, and all the masters of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go up on the roof of the tower.
Amo moilai ganodini, gasa bagade diasu sedade gado gagagula heda: lebe ba: i. Dibese dunu, uda amola ilia ouligisu dunu da amoga hehenai. Ilia da golili sa: ili, logo ga: le, diasu figisu gadodafa amoga asi.
52 And Abimelech comes to the tower, and fights against it, and draws near to the opening of the tower to burn it with fire,
Abimelege da amo sedade diasu gado gagagula heda: i doagala: musa: misini, e da amo logo ga: suga laluga ulagimusa: asi.
53 and a certain woman casts a piece of a millstone on the head of Abimelech, and breaks his skull,
Be uda afae da igi bagade (amoga ilia da widi goudasu) amo gududili sanasili, Abimelege ea dialuma gasa goudai.
54 and he calls quickly to the young man carrying his weapons and says to him, “Draw your sword, and you have put me to death, lest they say of me—A woman slew him”; and his young man pierced him through, and he dies.
Amalalu, Abimelege da goi dunu (amo da Abimelege ea gegesu liligi gaguli ahoasu) amo ema misa: ne sia: ne, amane adoi, “Dia gegesu gobihei bagade duga: le gadole, na medole legemu. Dunu eno ilia da Abimelege udaga medole legei amo sia: mu na higa: i gala mabu.” Amaiba: le, amo goi da Abimelege gegesu gobiheiga sone, e bogoi.
55 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and each one goes to his place;
Isala: ili dunu da Abimelege bogoi dagoi ba: beba: le, ilia diasuga buhagi.
56 and God turns back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brothers;
Gode da agoaiwane Abimelegema dabe i. Bai e da ea yolalali 70 amo medole legeiba: le, ea ada Gidionema wadela: i bagade hamosu.
57 and God has returned all the evil of the men of Shechem on their [own] head, and the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubba‘al comes to them.
Amola Siegeme dunu da wadela: i bagade hamobeba: le, Gode da ilima se iasu. Gidione egefe amo Youda: me da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne i, amo defele ba: i dagoi.
