< Judges 20 >

1 And they went out all [the] people of Israel and it was assembled the congregation like a man one from Dan and to Beer Sheba and [the] land of Gilead to Yahweh Mizpah.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe kuuma Dani nginya Birishiba, na kuuma bũrũri wothe wa Gileadi magĩũka o taarĩ mũndũ ũmwe, makĩũngana mbere ya Jehova kũu Mizipa.
2 And they presented themselves [the] corners of all the people all [the] tribes of Israel in [the] assembly of [the] people of God four hundred thousand man on foot [who] drew a sword.
Atongoria a andũ othe a mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli makĩrũgama handũ hao kũu kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ a Ngai, marĩ thigari ngiri magana mana meeohete hiũ cia njora.
3 And they heard [the] descendants of Benjamin that they had gone up [the] people of Israel Mizpah and they said [the] people of Israel speak how? did it occur the evil this.
(Nao andũ Benjamini makĩigua atĩ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmambatĩte nginya Mizipa.) Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre ũrĩa ũndũ ũcio mũũru wekĩkire.”
4 And he answered the man the Levite [the] husband of the woman murdered and he said Gibeah towards which [belongs] to Benjamin I came I and concubine my to spend [the] night.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũlawii ũcio mũthuuri wa mũtumia ũrĩa woragĩtwo akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ na thuriya yakwa tuokire Gibea ya andũ a Benjamini tũraarĩrĩre kuo.
5 And they rose up on me [the] citizens of Gibeah and they surrounded on me the house night me they intended to kill and concubine my they abused and she died.
Ũtukũ ũcio andũ a Gibea nĩmaanũmĩrĩire, na magĩthiũrũrũkĩria nyũmba, mehaarĩirie kũnjũraga. Makĩnyiita thuriya yakwa na hinya, nginya ĩgĩkua.
6 And I took hold on concubine my and I cut in pieces her and I sent off her in all [the] land of [the] inheritance of Israel for they have done wickedness and disgraceful folly in Israel.
Ngĩoya thuriya yakwa, ngĩmĩtinaangia icunjĩ, na ngĩtũma o gĩcunjĩ o rũgongo rwa igai rĩa Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ nĩmekĩte ũndũ wa thoni na wa gĩconoko thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
7 Here! all of you O people of Israel give for yourselves a word and counsel here.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli inyuothe, kĩariei, mũheane itua rĩanyu.”
8 And it arose all the people like a man one saying not we will go anyone to tent his and not we will depart anyone to house his.
Andũ acio othe magĩũkĩra o taarĩ mũndũ ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe witũ ũkũinũka. Aca, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũgũcooka gwake mũciĩ.
9 And now this [is] the thing which we will do to Gibeah on it by lot.
No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa tũgwĩka Gibea nĩ ũyũ: Tũkwambata kuo tũmookĩrĩre o ta ũrĩa ũcuuki wa mĩtĩ ũgũtuonia.
10 And we will take ten men to the hundred of all - [the] tribes of Israel and one hundred to the thousand and one thousand to the ten thousand to bring provision[s] for the people to do to coming their to Geba of Benjamin according to all the disgraceful folly which it did in Israel.
Tũkũruta andũ ikũmi thĩinĩ wa o andũ igana a mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli, na andũ igana thĩinĩ wa o andũ ngiri, na andũ ngiri thĩinĩ wa o andũ ngiri ikũmi, nĩguo magĩĩrĩre mbũtũ cia ita irio. Nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mbũtũ cia ita igaakinya Gibea ya Benjamini, ikaameka maũndũ maringaine na waganu wa andũ akuo ũrĩa meekĩte thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.”
11 And it gathered every man of Israel to the city like a man one united.
Tondũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩũngana na makĩnyiitana o ta maarĩ mũndũ ũmwe mahũũre itũũra rĩu inene.
12 And they sent [the] tribes of Israel men in all [the] tribes of Benjamin saying what? [is] the evil this which it has happened among you.

13 And therefore give up the men sons of worthlessness who [are] in Gibeah so we may put to death them and let us remove evil from Israel and not (they were willing [the] descendants *Q(K)*) of Benjamin to listen to [the] voice of brothers their [the] people of Israel.
Na rĩrĩ, tũnengerei andũ acio aaganu a Gibea nĩgeetha tũmoorage tweherie ũũru ũcio thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.” No andũ a Benjamini matiigana kũigua andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli.
14 And they gathered [the] descendants of Benjamin from the cities Gibeah towards to go out for battle with [the] people of Israel.
Moimire matũũra-inĩ mao, makĩũngana hamwe kũu Gibea nĩguo mahũũrane na andũ a Isiraeli.
15 And they were mustered [the] descendants of Benjamin on the day that from the cities twenty and six thousand man [who] drew a sword apart from [the] inhabitants of Gibeah [who] they were mustered seven hundred man chosen.
O ro rĩmwe andũ a Benjamini magĩcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa marũaga na hiũ cia njora 20,060 kuuma matũũra-inĩ mao, mongereirwo harĩ andũ magana mũgwanja arĩa maathuurĩtwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatũũraga kũu Gibea.

Tiga andũ a Benjamini-rĩ, Isiraeli nĩmacookanĩrĩirie thigari 400 arĩa marũaga na hiũ cia njora, na othe maarĩ andũ a ita.
18 And they arose and they went up Beth-el and they asked by God and they said [the] people of Israel who? will he go up for us at the first to the battle with [the] descendants of Benjamin and he said Yahweh Judah [will be] at the first.
Andũ a Isiraeli makĩambata nginya Betheli na magĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Ngai makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ thĩinĩ witũ ũkwambĩrĩria kũhũũrana na andũ aya a Benjamini?” Nake Jehova agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Juda nĩwe ũkwambĩrĩria.”
19 And they arose [the] people of Israel in the morning and they encamped on Gibeah.
Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩũkĩra na makĩamba hema ciao gũkuhĩ na Gibea.
20 And he went out [the] man of Israel to the battle with Benjamin and they deployed with them [the] man of Israel battle to Gibeah.
Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara makahũũrane na andũ a Benjamini, na makĩiga andũ o handũ hao mbaara-inĩ marũe nao kũu Gibea.

No andũ a Isiraeli makĩũmanĩrĩria mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ na makĩrũgama handũ hao rĩngĩ o harĩa meigĩte mũthenya wa mbere.
23 And they went up [the] people of Israel and they wept before Yahweh until the evening and they enquired by Yahweh saying ¿ will I repeat to draw near for battle with [the] descendants of Benjamin brother my and he said Yahweh go up against him.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩambata makĩrĩrĩra mbere ya Jehova nginya hwaĩ-inĩ, nao magĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova atĩrĩ, “Hihi twambate rĩngĩ tũkahũũrane na andũ a Benjamini, aya ariũ a ithe witũ?” Nake Jehova akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũkahũũrane nao.”
24 And they drew near [the] people of Israel to [the] descendants of Benjamin on the day second.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli magĩkuhĩrĩria andũ a Benjamini mũthenya wa keerĩ.
25 And it went out Benjamin - to meet them - from Gibeah on the day second and they destroyed among [the] people of Israel again eight-teen thousand man [the] ground towards all these [were] drawers of a sword.
Mũthenya ũcio, rĩrĩa Abenjamini mookire moimĩte Gibea mahũũrane nao-rĩ, makĩũraga andũ a Isiraeli angĩ 18,000, othe meeohete hiũ cia njora.
26 And they went up all [the] people of Israel and all the people and they came Beth-el and they wept and they sat there before Yahweh and they fasted on the day that until the evening and they offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli, marĩ othe, makĩambata nginya Betheli, na kũu magĩikara kuo makĩrĩra marĩ mbere ya Jehova. Makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio mũthenya ũcio o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ, na makĩruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano kũrĩ Jehova.
27 And they enquired [the] people of Israel by Yahweh and [was] there [the] ark of [the] covenant of God in the days those.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli, magĩtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova. (Matukũ-inĩ macio ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai rĩarĩ kũu,
28 And Phinehas [the] son Eleazar [the] son of Aaron [was] standing - before it in the days those saying ¿ will I repeat again to go out for battle with [the] descendants of Benjamin brother my or? will I cease and he said Yahweh go up for tomorrow I will give him in hand your.
nake Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Harũni, nĩwe watungataga mbere yarĩo.) Nao makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkwambata rĩngĩ tũkahũũrane na Abenjamini ariũ a ithe witũ, kana tũtige?” Jehova akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi, nĩ ũndũ rũciũ nĩngamaneana moko-inĩ manyu.”
29 And it set Israel ambushers to Gibeah round about.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmoheria mathiũrũrũkĩirie Gibea.
30 And they went up [the] people of Israel against [the] descendants of Benjamin on the day third and they deployed against Gibeah as time on time.
Nao makĩambata makahũũrane na andũ a Benjamini mũthenya wa gatatũ na makĩrũgama handũ hao nĩguo mahũũrane na Gibea o ta ũrĩa meekĩte hau mbere.
31 And they went out [the] descendants of Benjamin to meet the people they were drawn away from the city and they began to strike down some of the people fatally wounded as time - on time in the highways which one [is] going up Beth-el and one Gibeah towards in the field about thirty man in Israel.
Nao Abenjamini makiumĩra mamatũnge na makĩguucĩrĩrio kũraihu na itũũra rĩu inene. Makĩambĩrĩria kũhũũra andũ a Isiraeli o ta mbere ĩyo, na andũ ta mĩrongo ĩtatũ makĩrũndĩrwo werũ-inĩ na njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩthiiaga Betheli na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ Gibea.
32 And they said [the] descendants of Benjamin [are] defeated they before us as at the former [time] and [the] people of Israel they said let us flee and we will draw away him from the city to the highways.

33 And every - man of Israel they rose from place his and they deployed at Baal Tamar and [the] ambusher of Israel [was] bursting forth from place his from [the] open place of Geba.
Andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩehera harĩa maarĩ na makĩrũgama handũ hao kũu Baali-Tamaru, nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa meehithĩire andũ a Benjamini makiumĩra kũrĩa meehithĩte mwena wa ithũĩro wa Gibea.

Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ ngiri ikũmi arĩa maarĩ njamba iria thuure cia Isiraeli magĩtharĩkĩra Gibea kuuma na mbere. Nayo mbaara yarĩ nene ũũ atĩ andũ a Benjamini matiigana gũkũũrana ũrĩa mwanangĩko wamakuhĩrĩirie.

Nake Jehova akĩhootera andũ a Benjamini mbere ya Isiraeli, na mũthenya ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makĩũraga andũ a Benjamini 25,100, arĩa meeohete hiũ cia njora.
36 And they saw [the] descendants of Benjamin for they were defeated and they gave [the] man of Israel place to Benjamin for they trusted to the ambusher whom they had set against Gibeah.
Tondũ ũcio andũ a Benjamini makĩona atĩ nĩmaatooretio. Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoorĩire andũ a Benjamini, nĩ ũndũ nĩmehokete andũ arĩa maigĩte a kuoheria andũ a Benjamini gũkuhĩ na Gibea.

Nao andũ acio moohetie andũ makĩguthũka o rĩmwe magĩtoonya Gibea, makĩaragana kuo na makĩhũũra itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe na rũhiũ rwa njora.

40 And the rising it began to go up from the city a pillar of smoke and it turned Benjamin behind it and there! it went up [the] entirety of the city the heavens towards.
No rĩrĩa ndogo yambĩrĩirie kwambata na igũrũ yumĩte itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene-rĩ, andũ a Benjamini makĩĩhũgũra makĩona ndogo itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene rĩothe yambatĩte na igũrũ matu-inĩ.

43 They surrounded Benjamin they pursued him rest they trod down him to opposite Gibeah from [the] rising of [the] sun.
Magĩthiũrũrũkĩria andũ a Benjamini acio, makĩmatengʼeria, na makĩmakinyĩra na njĩra hũthũ kũu gũkuhĩ na Gibea mwena wa irathĩro.
44 And they fell of Benjamin eight-teen thousand man all these [were] men of strength.
Andũ a Benjamini ngiri ikũmi na inyanya magĩkua, nao othe maarĩ arũi njamba.
45 And they turned and they fled the wilderness towards to [the] rock of Rimmon and they gleaned him in the highways five thousand man and they pursued closely after him to Gidom and they struck down of him two thousand man.
Na rĩrĩa maagarũrũkire marorete na werũ-inĩ nginya ihiga-inĩ rĩa Rimoni, andũ a Isiraeli makĩũragĩra andũ 5,000 njĩra-inĩ icio. Nao magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũrũmĩrĩra andũ a Benjamini o nginya Gidomu na makĩũraga 2,000.
