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.
Na ka puta nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, a huihui ana te whakaminenga me te mea he tangata kotahi, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, no te whenua ano hoki o Kireara, ki a Ihowa, ki Mihipa.
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.
I puta mai ano nga rangatira o te iwi katoa, o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, i roto i te huihui o te iwi a te Atua, e wha rau nga mano, he hunga haere i raro, he hunga mau hoari.
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?
A i rongo nga tamariki a Pineamine kua tae nga tamariki a Iharaira ki Mihipa. Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira, Korerotia mai i peheatia tenei mea kino.
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.
Na ka utua e te Riwaiti, e te tangata nana te wahine i kohurutia ra, ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki Kipea, ki tera i a Pineamine, maua ko taku wahine iti, moe ai.
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.
Na ko te whakatikanga mai o nga tangata o Kipea ki ahau, kei te karapoti i te whare i te po, he mea hoki moku; i mea ratou kia patua ahau: na whakaititia ana taku wahine a mate iho.
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.
Na ka mau ahau ki taku wahine, a tapatapahia ana e ahau, hoatu ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua, i te kainga tupu o Iharaira, mo ratou i mahi i te mahi kino, i te mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira.
7 Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.
Na, e nga tamariki a Iharaira, koutou katoa, homai ki konei ta koutou kupu, me to koutou whakaaro.
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.
Na ka whakatika katoa te iwi ano he tangata kotahi, ka mea, E kore tetahi o tatou e haere ki tona teneti, e kore ano hoki tetahi o tatou e peka atu ki tona whare.
9 Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] against it by lot;
Engari ko ta tatou tenei e mea ai ki Kipea: ma te rota te tikanga mo ta tatou whawhai ki reira.
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.
Me tango tangata, kia tekau i roto i te rau, i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, he rau i roto i te mano, he mano i roto i te tekau mano, hei mau o mo te iwi; a ka tae ki Kipea o Pineamine ka rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea poauau katoa i mahia e rato u i roto i a Iharaira.
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man knit together.
Heoi huihui ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira hei whakaeke mo te pa, piri tonu me te mea he tangata kotahi ratou.
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?
Na ka tono tangata nga iwi o Iharaira puta noa i te iwi katoa o pineamine, hei mea, He aha tenei mea kino kua meatia nei i roto i a koutou?
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.
Na homai aianei aua tangata, nga tama a Periara i Kipea, kia whakamatea e matou, kia whakakorea ai te kino i roto i a Iharaira. Otiia kihai a Pineamine i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o o ratou tuakana, o nga tamariki a Iharaira.
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.
Na ka huihui nga tama a Pineamine i roto i nga pa ki Kipea, ka haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
Na ka taua i taua ra nga tama a Pineamine o nga pa, e rua tekau ma ono mano nga tangata, he hunga mau hoari; tera atu ano nga tangata o Kipea; i taua ratou e whitu rau tangata, whiriwhiri rawa.
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.
Kei roto ano i tenei hunga katoa etahi, e whitu rau, he hunga whiriwhiri, he maui; ko enei katoa he hunga e piua ai te kohatu ki te huruhuru mahunga, a e kore e taha.
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.
I taua ano hoki nga tangata o Iharaira, nga mea ehara i a Pineamine, e wha rau mano tangata, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga hapai pakanga enei katoa.
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.
Katahi nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatika, ka haere ki Peteere, ka ui atu ki te Atua, ka mea, Ko wai o matou hei timata te haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ma Hura e timata.
19 And the sons of Israel arose in the morning, —and encamped against Gibeah.
Na ka maranga nga tama a Iharaira i te ata, a ka noho ki Kipea.
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.
Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Pineamine; a whakaritea ana a ratou ngohi e nga tama a Iharaira mo te whawhai ki Kipea.
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.
Na ka puta nga tama a Pineamine i roto i Kipea, a pirau rawa i a ratou ki te whenua i taua ra e rua tekau ma rua mano o nga tangata o Iharaira.
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.
Na ka whakatenatena te iwi, nga tangata o Iharaira, i a ratou ano, a whakaritea ana ano a ratou ngaohi kia whawhai ai ki taua wahi ano i whakaritea ai i te ra tuatahi.
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.
I haere ano nga tama a Iharaira, i tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowa a ahiahi noa, i ui atu hoki ki a Ihowa, i mea, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere ki te whawhai ki a ia.
24 So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on the second day.
Na ka whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te rua o nga ra.
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.
I puta mai ano a Pineamine i roto i Kipea i te rua o nga ra ki te tu ki a ratou, a pirau rawa ano i a ratou ki te whenua tekau ma waru mano o nga tama a Iharaira; he hunga mau hoari katoa enei.
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.
Katahi ka haere nga tama katoa a Iharaira me te iwi katoa, a ka tae ki Peteere; na ka tangi ratou, a ka noho i reira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kahore rawa hoki i kai i taua ra a ahiahi noa; me te whakaeke ano hoki i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahe re mo te pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
27 And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, in those days;
Na ka ui nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, i reira hoki te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua i aua ra,
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.
Ko Pinehaha hoki, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona, te tu ana i tona aroaro i aua ra; ka mea ratou, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina, me whakamutu ranei? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere, ko apopo hoki ratou hoatu a i e ahau ki tou ringa.
29 And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
Katahi ka whakatakotoria he pehipehi e Iharaira mo Kipea a taka noa, taka noa.
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.
Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te toru o nga ra, e whakatakotoria ana nga ngohi hei whawhai ki Kipea, pera ano me mua ra.
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.
Na ko te putanga mai o nga tama a Pineamine ki te tu ki te iwi, manukawhakitia ana ratou i te pa; na ka timata ratou te patu i etahi o te iwi, te tukituki, te pera me mua ra, i nga huarahi e tika atu ra, ko tetahi ki Peteere, ko tetahi ki Kipea i te parae, me te mea e toru tekau nga tangata o Iharaira.
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.
Na ka mea nga tama a Pineamine, Kua hinga ratou i a tatou, kua pera me to te timatanga. Otiia i mea nga tama a Iharaira, Kia rere atu tatou; me manukawhaki mai ratou i roto i te pa ki nga huarahi.
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.
Na ka whakatika ake nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i o ratou wahi, a ka tu a matua ki Paaratamara: i puta mai ano nga pehipehi o Iharaira i to ratou wahi, ara i Marehekepa.
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.
Na haere tonu atu ki Kipea nga tangata kotahi tekau mano, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira katoa, a ka nui haere te whawhai: kihai ratou i mohio ka tata te kino ki a ratou.
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.
Na patua iho e Ihowa a Pineamine i te aroaro o Iharaira, a ngaro iho o Pineamine i nga tama a Iharaira i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano kotahi rau: he hunga mau hoari enei katoa.
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.
Heoi ka kite nga tama a Pineamine e patua ana ratou: i tukua mai a Pineamine e nga tangata o Iharaira, i whakamanawa atu hoki ki te pehipehi i whakatakotoria e ratou ki Kipea.
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.
Na hohoro tonu te pehipehi, huakina ana e ratou a Kipea; te unuhanga mai hoki o te pehipehi, na patua iho e ratou te pa katoa ki te mata o te hoari.
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.
Na kua oti tetahi tohu te whakarite e nga tangata o Iharaira ki te pehipehi, ara kia meinga e ratou kia nui te kake o te pongere o te paowa i te pa.
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,
A, i te whatinga o nga tangata o Iharaira i te mea e whawhai ana, ka anga a Pineamine, ka patu, ka tukituki i nga tangata o Iharaira, me te mea e toru tekau tangata: i mea hoki ratou, Koia rawa ano! e hinga ana ano ratou i a tatou, e pera ana an o me to te whawhaitanga tuatahi.
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.
Otiia ka timata nei te kake o te pongere o te pa ki runga, me te pou auahi, na ka titiro nga Pineamini ki muri i a ratou, nga kua pau te pa i te ahi, e kake ana tera he paowa ki te rangi.
41 And, when, the men of Israel, turned, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster had overtaken them.
Ko te tahuritanga atu o nga tangata o Iharaira, kanakana kau ana nga tangata o Pineamine; i kite hoki ratou kua tae mai te he ki a ratou.
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: —
Na reira ka whati ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Iharaira ki te huarahi ki te koraha; otiia i pipiri tonu te whai a te hoariri i a ratou; na, ko te hunga i puta mai i roto i nga pa, kei te whakangaro i a ratou, he mea karapoti na ratou.
43 they hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.
Ka karapotia e ratou nga Pineamini a taka noa, a whaia ana, takatakahia ana i o ratou okiokinga, i te ritenga atu o Kipea whaka te rawhiti.
44 So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being men of valour.
A kotahi tekau ma waru mano o nga tangata o Pineamine i hinga: he hunga maia enei katoa.
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.
Na ka whati ratou, a rere ana ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono: a e rima mano tangata i hamua e ratou ki nga huarahi, na ka whaia ano ratou ki Kiromo, a patua iho o ratou e rua mano tangata.
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.
Na ko te hunga katoa i hinga o Pineamine i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga maia katoa enei.
47 But there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff Rimmon, four months.
A e ono rau tangata i tahuri, i rere ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono, a e wha nga marama i noho ai ki te kamaka o Rimono.
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.
A i tahuri atu ano nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine, a patua iho ratou ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata o nga pa, me nga kararehe, me nga mea katoa i tupono atu ai ratou: i tungia ano e ratou ki te ahi nga pa katoa i tae atu a i ratou.
