Judges 20
1 Then went forth all the sons of Israel, and the assembly came together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba with the land of Gilead, —unto Yahweh at Mizpah.
Hiche jouhin Israel chate jouse Dan napat Beersheba, chuleh Gilead gam changeijin ahung kikhom uvin, mikhat seh seh tobang'in lungkhat tah in ading hom’un ahi. Mipite chu Pakai angsungah Mizpah munnah akikhomsoh keijun ahi.
2 And the chiefs of all the people—all the tribes of Israel—presented themselves in the convocation of the people of God, —four hundred thousand footmen, that drew the sword.
Israel phungho jouse leh mipiho jouse lah a lamkaiho chu Pathen mite kikhopna chun apangun chule chemjam lamthei sepaiho chu sang ail alhingun ahi.
3 And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], In what manner was brought to pass this vileness?
Alangkhat nah Benjamin mite chun Israel phungdang ho jouse chu Mizpah a akikhom taove tichu ajatauvin ahi. Hichun Israel mipichun hitobang thilmelse tah hi iti hung kipan ham tin adong tauvin ahi.
4 And the Levite, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said, —Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry the night.
Ajinu athapeh pau Levi pachun ahinseitai, “Kathaikemnu le keima hin jan-geh dinga Benjamin mite khopi Gibeah a kache lhonnin ahi.
5 And the owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night, —me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that she died.
Hiche jan chun Gibeah mite chun kagena inchu aumkim vellun keima thading eigouvin ajonan kathaikemnuhi jankhovah in kichepnan aneiyun amanu athilotai.
6 So I laid hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, —because they had wrought lewdness and impiety, in Israel.
Hijeh chun keiman kathaikemnu tahsa hi boh somle bohni kaso’a Israel phung somleh phungni hi kahinthot ahi. Ajeh chu hiche mite hin melsetah a hitobang gitlou nahi atohdoh u ahi.
7 Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.
Tun nangho nabonchaovin Israel mipite jousen iloding natiuvem geltauvin,” ati.
8 Then arose all the people, as one man, saying, —No man of us will go to his tent, and no man of us will turn aside to his house.
Hichun mipite chu abonchaovin thakhat tah in adingdohsoh keijun asamtaove, “Eiho koimacha in na ikile theilou diu ahi!
9 Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] against it by lot;
Amavang eihon tuahi Gibeah mite hitia hi igabol diu ahi, koipennin ikisatpi masat diuham vang isandiu ahi.
10 and we will take ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, —that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the impiety that it hath wrought in Israel.
Iphung jouseuva hi somlah a khatcheh galsat ho nehle chah thah le a pangding, adangsen Gibeah chunga hi phu ilah teidiu ahi, ajeh chun Benjamin mite hin Israel insunga hibang tah a hi jumna atohdoh u ahitai” atiuve.
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man knit together.
Hitichun Israel pumpi chu abonchaovin akilungkhat un hiche khopi sat dingin akikhom sohtauvin ahi.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, —What is this vile thing that hath been brought to pass, among you?
Israelten Benjamin mite komma chun thupole ho asol’un amaho chun, “Itobang lomma nangho hin hitobang thilsehi naboldoh u hitam?
13 Now, therefore, deliver up the men—the sons of the Abandoned One—who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and vileness be consumed out of Israel. But [the sons of] Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel.
Gibeah khoa konna hitobang mi engse miphalou hochu neihin pedoh un keihon amaho chu that uvingting Israel lah thilsehi suhthengna nei uvinge” atiuve. Ahinlah Benjamin ten anahsah pouvin ahi.
14 Then did the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together out of the cities, unto Gibeah, —to go forth to battle against the sons of Israel.
Hiche enghot nachun, amaho akhopi cheh uva kon in Gibeah munnah Israel satdingin ahung kikhom tauvin ahi.
15 And the sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day, out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men, that drew the sword, —besides, of the inhabitants of Gibeah, were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Abonchaovin chemjam lamthei cheh sangsomni le gup alhingun amaho chu Gibeah ahunglhung tauvin ahi. Amahohi khopi sunga ana umsa thepna giltah nei mi jasagi aum’un ahi.
16 Out of all this people, were seven hundred chosen men, left-handed, —any one of whom could sling with a stone to a hair’s-breadth, and not miss.
Benjamin lah a thepna giltah nei epia jasagi hohi aveilang cheh ahiuvin, amaho hin songsena bomma song apeijuleh samjang jengjong sepka thei sepkhel lou hel cheh ahiuve.
17 And, the men of Israel, were numbered, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, that drew the sword, —every one of these being a man of war.
Israel langa Benjamin galmiho simlouvin chemjam kichoija galsat theicheh sangjali alhingun ahi.
18 And they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said—Judah, first.
Galkisat masangin Israelte chu Bethel’ah acheuvin Pathen agadongun, “Benjamin mipite khu gasat dinga koiphung pen kache masat diuham?” atiuve. Pakaiyin ahin donbutnin “Judah masading ahi” ati.
19 And the sons of Israel arose in the morning, —and encamped against Gibeah.
Hijeh chun Israelte chu matah in athouvun Gibeah kommah panmun asem taove.
20 And the men of Israel went forth, to fight against Benjamin, —so the men of Israel set themselves in array against them, to fight against Gibeah.
Hijouchun Benjamin mitechu sat dingin Gibeah ana jon tauvin ahi.
21 Then came forth the sons of Benjamin out of Gibeah, —and laid low of Israel, on that day, twenty-two thousand men, to the ground.
Ahinlah akhopiu ngah’a pang Benjamin galmi hochun ahungpot doh un hiche nichun galkisatna munna chun Israelte sangsomni le sang ni athat tauvin ahi.
22 And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, —and again set themselves in array for battle in the place where they had set themselves in array on the first day.
Ahinlah Israelte chu khatle khat akitil touvin animasa a akisatnao mun mama achun pan alakit tauvin ahi.
23 Now the sons of Israel had gone up, and wept before Yahweh, until the evening, and asked of Yahweh, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin, my brother? And Yahweh said, Go up against him.
Ajeh chu amaho anache uva Bethel’a Pakai angsunga nilhahgeija gakapmuva hitiahi Pakai agadoh u ahi, “Keiho kache kitnuva Benjamin tehi kagasat kitdiu ham?” aga tiuve. Pakaiyin “Cheuvin lang amaho khu gaki satpi kitnun” atipeh in ahi.
24 So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on the second day.
Hijeh chun amaho ajingchun apotdoh kitnun Benjamin mitechu agakisatpi kit un ahi.
25 And Benjamin came forth to meet them out of Gibeah, on the second day, and laid low, of the sons of Israel, yet eighteen thousand men, to the ground, —all these, drew the sword.
Ahin Benjamin mite chun chemjam choija galsatje themcheh Israelte chu sangsom le sang get anathat kit’un ahi.
26 Then went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, —and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh.
Hiche jehchun Israelte abonchaovin acheuvin Bethel’ah anngol pummin nilhah geijin Pakai angah agakap un ahi. Amahon Pakai angah pumgo thilto leh chamna thilto jong abol'un ahi.
27 And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, in those days;
Israelte chu Pakai kommah acheuvin “I-katidiu hitam?” tin aga dongun ahi. ( Hichelai achu Pakai kitepna thingkong chu Bethel munna umma ahi
28 and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said—Go up, for, to-morrow, will I deliver him into thy hand.
Chuleh Aaron thempupa tupa Eleazer chapa Phinehas chu thempu hija ahi) Israelten Pakai adongun keihon kasopiteu Benjamin mitehi kasat kit ding uham ahilouleh kasatda diu hitam?” atiuvin ahi. “Jingleh che kitnun Keiman amaho khu nangho khutna kapehdoh ding ahitai,” tin Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
29 And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
Hijeh chun Israelte Gibeah kimvel jouse ah chun chaang apang tauvin ahi.
30 So the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, —and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as time after time.
Amaho chu anithum chan nin akondoh kit’un, chule masanga apansah namun uvah chun apansa kit un ahi.
31 And the sons of Benjamin came forth against the people, they were drawn away from the city, —and began to smite of the people, slaying as time after time, in the highways, whereof, one, goeth up to Bethel, and, the other, to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men in Israel.
Benjamin mite chu amaho kisatpi dinga ahungkon doh phat’un akhopi uva konchun ajoldoh tauvin ahi. Hiti chun amasa anabolna bang bang uchun Israel techu tollhang leh lamlen chungah, khatchu Bethel lang jotna khatchu Gibeah langa akinunglenao munnah mi somthum tobang athat tauvin ahi.
32 Then said the sons of Benjamin, They are, being smitten, before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israel had said—Let us flee, and draw them away from the city, into the highways.
Hichun Benjamin epia hochun, “Eihon amasa bang bang chun ijoukit taove” tin asam’un ahi. Ahinla Israelte chu jamding chuleh Benjamin miten chun ahindel diu, chujongle hitia chu akhopi uva konna potdohsah nading thilgon amagon masat’u ahi.
33 And, all the men of Israel, rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array in Baal-tamar, —and, the liers in wait of Israel, began to break forth out of their place, out of the forest of Gibeah.
Israelte epia abulpi hochun Baal-tamar ahunglhun phat’un galsat nadingin panmun ahinlatoh tauvin ahi. Langkhat’ah Israelte Gibeah lhumlamma ana kisel hochu galsatdin akiselnaova kon in ahung chomdoh tauvin ahi.
34 And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, —they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking them.
Israel epia lah a galsatna thempen hochu mi sangsom Gibeah khopi nokhum dingin asollut taovin ahi. Galkisat chu akhoh lheh jengin Benjamin ten amanthah nadiu ahilam akihet pouvin ahi.
35 Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one hundred men, —all these, drew the sword.
Hitichun Pakaiyin Israel mite chu Benjamin mite chungah gal ajosah in hiche nikho chun Israelten Benjamin sepaite chemjamma galsatje themcheh sangsomni le sang nga le jakhat athatnun ahi.
36 So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, —and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near Gibeah.
Hichun Benjamin ten gal aleldiu chu akimuchet tauvin ahi. Israelte chun Gibeah nokhum dinga changpanga akoihou chu akisonpi jeh un Benjamin epia hoa konchun anung chonnun ahi.
37 And, the liers in wait, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, —and the liers in wait marched forward, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
Hijouchun ana changpang ho jouse chu muntinna kon in ahungpot doh’un khopi sunga umjouse chu athat tauvin ahi.
38 Now, the appointed sign, between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, had been, —to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend out of the city.
Amahon ana kihoutoh masat nao dungjuijin khopi sunga chun meikong khu lentah agah kondoh sah tauvin ahi.
39 So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, —and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, before us, as in the first battle,
Israelten hiche meikhu chu amuphat un, amaho ahung kileheijun Benjamin sepaiten Israel te somthum tobang athat’un ahileh “eihon ina kisattonao masa tobanga chu tua jong ijokitnu ahitai tin kholhang asam tauvin ahi.”
40 then, the cloud, began to ascend out of the city, a pillar of smoke, —and the Benjamites looked behind them, and lo! the whole city flamed up towards the heavens.
Ahinlah Benjamin epia hochu akinung hei uva avetnuva ahileh khopi sung muntinna konna meikhu kitungdoh jengchu amu uvin ahi.
41 And, when, the men of Israel, turned, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster had overtaken them.
Israel mitechu akinung heijun akisatpi tauvin ahi. Hichephat chun Benjamin mite chun amanthah nadiu chu ahunglhunga ahitai ti ahedoh tauvin ahileh atija lheh taove.
42 And, when they turned before the men of Israel unto the way of the desert, the battle, over took them, —while, as for them that came out of the cities, they began to destroy them in their midst: —
Hijeh chun akinung heijun Israel mitea konchun ajam’un gammang lah adel tauvin ahi. Ahinla ajamdoh joupouvin ahi, chuleh akhopi vella konna hungdoh hojongchu aban thagam tauvin ahi.
43 they hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.
Israel miten Benjamin mite chu aum kimvel’un, chuleh adellun Gibeah solanga apha paovin,
44 So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being men of valour.
Hiche ni chun Benjamin mite lah a galhat penho sangsomle sang-get athat tauvin ahi.
45 And, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, —and they followed hard after them as far as Gidom, and smote of them, two thousand men.
Ahoidoh hochu gammang la Rimmon songpi beldingin ajamtauvin ahi, ahinla Israelten amaho lah a sang nga chu lampiah athatpa tauvin ahi. Amahon adelpeh kit nalaijun Gidom kommah sangni anathat kit nalaijun ahi.
46 So then it came to pass that, all the fallen of Benjamin, were twenty-five thousand men, that drew the sword, on that day, —all these being men of valour.
Hiche nikho chun Benjamin phungmi chemjam mangcha a galsat hatcheh sangsomni le sang nga athiuvin,
47 But there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff Rimmon, four months.
Amoh cheng mi jagup chu Rimmon songpi langah ajamlut un hichea chun lha li sungin achengun ahi.
48 Thus, the men of Israel, turned against the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, beginning with the city, each and every one down to the beast, even to every one that was met with, —moreover, all the cities they came to, they set on fire.
Chuleh Israel techu ahung kile uvin khopiho sunga cheng jouse ahin ban thaovin, mipi ahin gancha ahin amu mang uchu abantha soh jengun ahi. Amahon ahunglut lutnao khopi jouse jongchu ahin ban hallhah jengun ahi.
