Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
Israaʼeloonni Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti argaman akkasumas kanneen biyya Giliʼaad keessa jiraatan hundi akka nama tokkootti baʼanii iddoo Miisphaa jedhamutti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti walitti qabaman.
2 The leaders 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 who drew sword.
Hooggantoonni namoota gosoota Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼii saba Waaqaa irratti argaman; loltoonni kuma dhibba afur goraadee hidhatanii turan.
3 (Now the people of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?"
Namoonni gosa Beniyaam akka Israaʼeloonni gara Miisphaatti ol baʼan dhagaʼan. Namoonni Israaʼelis, “Mee akka wanni hamaan kun itti hojjetame nutti himaa” jedhan.
4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my secondary wife, to spend the night.
Lewwichi dhirsi dubartii ajjeefamte sanaas akkana jedhee deebise; “Anii fi saajjatoon koo achi buluuf biyya Beniyaam Gibeʼaa dhufne.
5 And the leaders of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my secondary wife, and she is dead.
Namoonni Gibeʼaas na ajjeesuuf halkan mana ani bule sana marsan. Isaanis saajjatoo koo humnaan gudeedan; isheenis ni duute.
6 I took my secondary wife, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed wickedness and disgrace in Israel.
Anis reeffa saajjatoo koo fuudhee gargari kukkutee gara biyyoota dhaala gosoota Israaʼel hundaatti erge; isaan Israaʼel keessatti waan jibbisiisaa fi salphisaa akkasii hojjetaniiruutii.
7 Look, you children of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."
Ammas isin Israaʼeloonni hundinuu irratti mariʼadhaatii murtii keessan kennaa.”
8 All the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us return to his house.
Namoonni hundi akkuma nama tokkootti kaʼanii akkana jedhan; “Nu keessaa namni tokko iyyuu gara mana isaatti hin galu. Nu keessaa namni tokko iyyuu mana isaatti hin deebiʼu.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Wanni nu Gibeʼaa goonu garuu kana: Akkuma ixaan nuu baʼetti itti duuluu dha.
10 and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, those setting forth, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin they may repay all the disgrace that they have committed in Israel."
Akka isaan warra duulaniif waan isaan nyaatan fidaniif, gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa nama dhibba tokko keessaa nama kudhan, nama kuma tokko keessaa nama dhibba tokko, nama kuma kudhan keessaa nama kuma tokko ni fudhanna. Duulli kunis yeroo Gibeʼaa ishee Beniyaam keessa jirtu sana qaqqabutti waan isaan Israaʼel irratti hojjetan sanaaf adabbii barbaachisaa ni kenna.”
11 So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.
Kanaafuu namoonni Israaʼel hundi walitti qabamanii akkuma nama tokkootti magaalattiitti duulan.
12 The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has happened among you?
Gosoonni Israaʼel gara gosa Beniyaam hundaatti akkana jedhanii nama ergan; “Yakki hamaan gidduu keessanitti hojjetame kun maali?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
Ammas akka nu isaan barbadeessinee Israaʼel keessaa hammina balleessinuuf namoota Gibeʼaa hamoo sana dabarsaa nutti kennaa.” Beniyaamonni garuu Israaʼeloota firoota isaanii dhagaʼuu didan.
14 The people of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Isaanis Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf magaalaawwan isaaniitii tokkummaadhaan gara Gibeʼaa dhufan.
15 The people of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Beniyaamonni yeruma tokkotti loltoota filatamoo Gibeʼaa keessa jiraatan dhibba torba irratti namoota goraadee hidhatan kuma digdamii jaʼa magaalaawwan isaaniitii hiriirsan.
16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair and not miss.
Loltoota filatamoo kanneen hunda keessaa dhibba torba bitaachota tokkoon tokkoon isaanii rifeensatti dhagaa furrisanii hin dhabne turan.
17 The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war.
Israaʼeloonni Beniyaamota malee iyyuu namoota goraadee hidhatan kuma dhibba afur qabu turan; kunneen hundinuu gootota turan.
18 The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, "Who shall go up for us first to battle against the people of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah will go up first."
Israaʼeloonni Beetʼeelitti ol baʼanii, “Beniyaamota waraanuudhaaf nu keessaa jalqabatti eenyu haa baʼuu?” jedhanii Waaqa gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan jalqabatti haa baʼu” jedhee deebise.
19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and camped against Gibeah.
Ijoolleen Israaʼelis ganamaan kaʼanii Gibeʼaa marsan.
20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
Namoonni Israaʼel Beniyaamota waraanuuf baʼanii Gibeʼaatti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
21 The people of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
Beniyaamonnis Gibeʼaadhaa baʼanii gaafuma sana dirree waraanaa irratti Israaʼeloota kuma digdamii lama fixan.
22 The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
Namoonni Israaʼel garuu wal jajjabeessanii iddoodhuma gaafa duraa itti hiriiran sanatti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
23 The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, "Shall I again draw near to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother?" The LORD said, "Go up against him."
Israaʼeloonni ol baʼanii hamma galgalaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti booʼan. Isaanis, “Nu obboloota keenya Beniyaamota waraanuuf amma illee ol baanuu?” jedhanii Waaqayyoon gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Itti ol baʼaa” jedhee deebise.
24 The children of Israel came near against the people of Benjamin the second day.
Israaʼeloonni guyyaa lammaffaatti gara Beniyaamotaatti dhiʼaatan.
25 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.
Yeroo kanatti, Beniyaamonni Gibeʼaadhaa itti baʼanii Israaʼeloota goraadee hidhatan kuma kudha saddeet galaafatan.
26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Ergasii ijoolleen Israaʼel, sabni hundinuu Beetʼeelitti ol baʼanii achitti booʼaa fuula Waaqayyoo dura tataaʼan. Hamma galgalaattis soomanii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessan.
27 The children of Israel asked of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Israaʼeloonnis gorsa Waaqayyoo gaafatan. Bara sana taabonni kakuu Waaqaa achuma ture;
28 and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?" The LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand."
Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar, ilmi Aroon fuula isaa dura tajaajilaa ture. Isaanis, “Nu amma illee obboloota keenya Beniyaamota waraanuuf haa baanu moo haa dhiifnu?” jedhanii gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Baʼaa; ani bori isaan dabarsee harka keessanitti kennaatii” jedheen.
29 Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni naannoo Gibeʼaatti riphan.
30 The children of Israel went up against the people of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Isaanis guyyaa sadaffaatti Beniyaamotatti duulanii akkuma duraan godhan sana Gibeʼaa waraanuudhaaf iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
31 The people of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill some of the people, as at other times, on the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Beniyaamonnis isaan waraanuuf baʼanii magaalaa sana irraa fagaatan. Akkuma kanaan duraas Israaʼeloota dhaʼuu jalqaban; daandiiwwan Beetʼeeliitii fi Gibeʼaa irrattis namoota Israaʼel gara soddoma ajjeesan.
32 The people of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as previously." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."
Beniyaamonnis, “Kunoo nu akkuma kanaan duraa isaan moʼachaa jirra” jedhan; Israaʼeloonni immoo, “Kottaa nu gara dugda duubaatti deebinee akka isaan magaalaa keessaa baʼan goonaa” jedhan.
33 All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. And the men of Israel in ambush rushed out of their place west of Geba.
Namoonni Israaʼel hundinuu iddoo turanii kaʼanii Baʼaal Taamaaritti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan; waraanni Israaʼel kan riphee eegaa tures karaa lixa Gibeʼaatiin itti baʼe.
34 There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn't know that disaster was close upon them.
Sana booddees namoonni Israaʼel filatamoon kuma kudhan Gibeʼaa irratti waraana banan. Waraanni sunis akka malee cimaa ture; Beniyaamonni garuu akka badiin isaanitti dhiʼaatee jiru hin beekne ture.
35 The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all armed with swords.
Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti Beniyaamota dhaʼe; Israaʼeloonni gaafas Beniyaamota 25,100 kanneen hundi isaanii goraadee hidhatan fixan.
36 So the people of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
Kanaafuu Beniyaamonni akka moʼataman hubatan. Yeroo kanatti Israaʼeloonni waraana isaanii kan naannoo Gibeʼaatti riphee jiru sana abdatanii waan moʼataman fakkeessanii Beniyaamotaaf iddoo gad dhiisan.
37 The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
Waraanni Israaʼel riphee ture sunis yeruma tokkoon cabsee Gibeʼaa seenee magaalattii goraadeedhaan dhaʼe.
38 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
Namoonni Israaʼelis akka waraanni riphee ture sun magaalaa keessaa mallattoo duumessa aaraa guddaa isaa argisiisu walii galanii turan;
39 The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."
akkasiinis namoonni Israaʼel gara lolaatti dachaʼan. Beniyaamonni waraana jalqabanii Israaʼeloota soddoma ajjeesan; kanaafuu, “Nu akkuma yeroo jalqabaa sana isaan moʼachaa jirra” jedhan.
40 But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and look, the whole city went up in smoke into the sky.
Garuu yommuu magaalattii keessaa aarri ol baʼuu jalqabetti Beniyaamonni of irra garagalanii aara guutummaa magaalattii keessaa samiitti ol baʼaa jiru argan.
41 The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
Kana irratti namoonni Israaʼel Beniyaamotatti garagalan; Beniyaamonni akka balaan isaanitti dhufe beekanii akka malee sodaataniitii.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in its midst.
Kanaafuu isaan gara gammoojjiitti fuula deeffatanii Israaʼeloota duraa baqatan. Garuu jalaa baʼuu hin dandeenye. Namoonni Israaʼel kanneen magaalaa sanaa baʼanii dhufan achitti isaan fixan.
43 They surrounded Benjamin, and they pursued them from Nohah and overtook them near Gibeah toward the east.
Isaanis jara marsanii ariʼuudhaan fuullee baʼa Gibeʼaatti isaan moʼatan.
44 There fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
Loltoonni Beniyaam jajjaboon kuma kudha saddeet ni galaafataman.
45 They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they killed on the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck down two thousand men.
Utuu isaan garagalanii gara gammoojjii kattaa Rimoonitti baqachaa jiranuu namoonni kuma shan karaa irratti jalaa dhuman. Israaʼeloonni ammas hamma Gidoomitti warra hafan duukaa buʼanii nama kuma lama ajjeesan.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand swordsmen; all these were valiant fighters.
Gaafas Beniyaamota goraadee hidhatan kuma digdamii shanitu ajjeefame; hundi isaaniis loltoota bebeekamoo turan.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
Namoonni dhibba jaʼa garuu garagalanii gara gammoojjiitti kattaa Rimoonitti baqatan; jiʼa afuris achi turan.
48 The men of Israel turned again on the people of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
Namoonni Israaʼel immoo gara Beniyaamotaatti dachaʼanii guutummaa magaalaa sanaa, horii fi waan achitti argan hunda goraadeen fixan. Magaalaa itti dhufan hundas ibiddaan guban.
