< 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.
Maka datanglah seluruh umat Israel dari Dan di utara sampai Bersyeba di selatan, dan Gilead di timur, untuk memenuhi panggilan tersebut. Mereka berkumpul dan bersatu di Mizpa di hadapan TUHAN.
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.
Seluruhnya ada 400.000 prajurit dari pasukan berjalan kaki. Pemimpin-pemimpin dari setiap suku bangsa Israel hadir juga di sana.
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.
Sementara itu orang-orang suku Benyamin sudah mendengar bahwa semua orang Israel yang lain telah berkumpul di Mizpa. Maka bertanyalah orang-orang Israel itu kepada orang Lewi yang selirnya terbunuh itu, "Coba ceritakan kepada kami bagaimana kejahatan itu terjadi!" Orang Lewi itu menjawab, "Saya dengan selir saya singgah di Gibea di wilayah Benyamin dan bermalam di sana.
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.
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.
Kemudian orang-orang Gibea datang pada waktu malam untuk mencari saya. Mereka mengepung rumah tempat saya menginap dengan maksud untuk membunuh saya, tetapi kemudian mereka memperkosa selir saya sampai mati.
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.
Maka saya mengambil mayatnya lalu memotong-motongnya, kemudian mengirimnya kepada kedua belas suku dalam bangsa kita masing-masing satu potong. Saya melakukan hal itu karena orang-orang Gibea itu telah melakukan sesuatu yang jahat dan memalukan di antara umat Israel.
7 Here! all of you O people of Israel give for yourselves a word and counsel here.
Kalian semua yang berada di sini adalah orang Israel. Jadi sekarang saya minta pertimbangan kalian!"
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.
Dengan serentak orang-orang yang berkumpul di tempat itu berdiri dan berkata, "Kita semua tidak ada yang akan pulang ke kemah atau ke rumah.
9 And now this [is] the thing which we will do to Gibeah on it by lot.
Inilah yang akan kita lakukan: Kita membuang undi untuk menentukan orang-orang yang harus menyerang Gibea.
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.
Sepersepuluh dari semua orang laki-laki Israel harus menyediakan makanan untuk mereka yang bertempur. Yang lain pergi menyerang Gibea untuk menghukum mereka karena kejahatan yang telah mereka lakukan di antara umat Israel."
11 And it gathered every man of Israel to the city like a man one united.
Demikianlah umat Israel bersatu untuk menyerang Gibea.
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.
Setelah umat Israel mengutus orang-orang ke seluruh wilayah suku Benyamin untuk menyampaikan berita ini: "Kejahatan apa yang terjadi pada kalian?
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.
Serahkanlah orang-orang bejat dari Gibea itu kepada kami supaya kami bunuh mereka dan dengan demikian kami membasmi kejahatan itu dari tengah-tengah Israel." Tetapi orang Benyamin tidak menghiraukan perkataan orang-orang Israel yang lainnya itu.
14 And they gathered [the] descendants of Benjamin from the cities Gibeah towards to go out for battle with [the] people of Israel.
Malah dari semua kota di wilayah Benyamin itu orang-orang Benyamin datang ke Gibea untuk memerangi orang-orang Israel yang lainnya.
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.
Hari itu mereka mengumpulkan dari kota-kota mereka sebanyak 26.000 prajurit. Dan di samping itu pula penduduk Gibea sendiri pun telah mengumpulkan 700 orang terpilih. Semuanya orang kidal yang ahli dalam hal melontarkan batu dengan memakai umban. Kalau mereka mengumban, tidak pernah meleset sedikit pun.
16 [were] from All - the people this seven hundred man chosen impeded [the] hand of right his all this [was] slinging with the stone to the single hair and not he missed.
17 And [the] man of Israel they were mustered apart from Benjamin four hundred thousand man [who] drew a sword all this [was] man of war.
Pada pihak orang-orang Israel lainnya sudah terkumpul sebanyak 400.000 prajurit terlatih.
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.
Tentara umat Israel itu pergi ke tempat ibadat di Betel, dan bertanya kepada Allah, "Ya TUHAN, suku manakah dari antara kami yang harus pertama-tama pergi menyerang orang Benyamin?" TUHAN menjawab, "Suku Yehuda."
19 And they arose [the] people of Israel in the morning and they encamped on Gibeah.
Besok paginya berangkatlah mereka dan berkemah di dekat kota 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.
Mereka menempatkan barisan perang mereka berhadapan dengan kota itu, lalu menyerang.
21 And they went out [the] descendants of Benjamin from Gibeah and they destroyed among Israel on the day that two and twenty thousand man [the] ground towards.
Maka angkatan perang Benyamin keluar menyerang pula dan membunuh 22.000 tentara Israel pada hari itu juga.
22 And it showed itself strong the people [the] man of Israel and they repeated to deploy battle in the place where they had deployed there on the day first.
Karena kekalahan itu, pergilah umat Israel ke tempat ibadat lalu menangis kepada TUHAN di sana sampai malam. Mereka bertanya, "TUHAN, haruskah kami pergi lagi memerangi saudara-saudara kami orang-orang Benyamin itu?" TUHAN menjawab, "Ya, pergilah." Oleh karena itu angkatan perang Israel menjadi bersemangat lagi, sehingga mereka mengatur kembali pasukan mereka seperti hari pertama.
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.
24 And they drew near [the] people of Israel to [the] descendants of Benjamin on the day second.
Untuk kedua kalinya mereka pergi menyerang angkatan perang Benyamin itu.
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.
Dan untuk kedua kalinya pula orang-orang Benyamin itu keluar menyerang. Kali ini mereka membunuh 18.000 prajurit-prajurit terlatih dari angkatan perang Israel.
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.
Maka pergilah lagi umat Israel ke Betel dan menangis kepada TUHAN. Di sana mereka berpuasa sampai malam dan mempersembahkan kurban perdamaian dan kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN.
27 And they enquired [the] people of Israel by Yahweh and [was] there [the] ark of [the] covenant of God in the days those.
Pada masa itu Peti Perjanjian Allah ada di Betel, dan Pinehas anak Eleazar, cucu Harun, bertugas sebagai imam. Maka bertanyalah umat Israel kepada TUHAN, "TUHAN, haruskah kami pergi lagi menyerang saudara-saudara kami orang-orang Benyamin itu, atau haruskah kami menghentikan pertempuran ini?" TUHAN menjawab, "Seranglah mereka! Besok Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepada kalian."
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.
29 And it set Israel ambushers to Gibeah round about.
Mendengar jawaban TUHAN itu, orang-orang Israel menempatkan tentara mereka di tempat-tempat tersembunyi sekitar 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.
Lalu pada hari yang ketiga mereka menyerang angkatan perang Benyamin dengan susunan pasukan menghadap Gibea seperti yang telah mereka lakukan pada hari-hari sebelumnya.
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.
Orang-orang Benyamin menyerbu juga, dan terpancing untuk keluar dari kota. Seperti yang sudah-sudah, mereka mulai membunuh orang-orang Israel di daerah terbuka di luar kota pada jalan yang menuju ke Betel dan pada jalan yang menuju ke Gibea. Tiga puluh orang Israel terbunuh.
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.
Karena itu orang-orang Benyamin menyangka mereka telah mengalahkan orang-orang Israel itu lagi seperti semula. Tetapi tentara Israel sudah merencanakan untuk mundur supaya memancing tentara Benyamin itu ke jalan-jalan raya, jauh dari kota.
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.
Ketika pasukan inti Israel mundur, dan menyusun barisan lagi di Baal-Tamar, orang-orang mereka yang ditempatkan di sekitar Gibea, segera keluar dari tempat-tempat persembunyian mereka di daerah luar kota.
34 And they came from before to Gibeah ten thousand man chosen from all Israel and the battle it was heavy and they not they knew that [was] about to touch to them calamity.
Mereka itu orang-orang terpilih dari seluruh Israel; jumlahnya 10.000 orang. Terjadilah pertempuran yang sengit ketika 10.000 orang itu menyerang Gibea. Orang-orang Benyamin sama sekali tidak menyangka bahwa mereka tak lama lagi akan kalah.
35 And he defeated Yahweh - Benjamin before Israel and they destroyed [the] people of Israel among Benjamin on the day that twenty and five thousand and one hundred man all these [was] drawing a sword.
TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel kemenangan atas orang Benyamin, sehingga pada hari itu orang Israel membunuh 25.100 orang tentara Benyamin.
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.
Barulah orang Benyamin menyadari bahwa mereka sudah kalah. Pasukan inti Israel dengan sengaja telah melarikan diri dari orang-orang Benyamin karena mereka mengandalkan anak buah mereka di tempat-tempat persembunyian di sekitar Gibea.
37 And the ambusher they made haste and they made a raid against Gibeah and he marched the ambusher and he struck all the city to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
Orang-orang yang bersembunyi itu cepat-cepat masuk menyerbu Gibea; mereka menyebar ke mana-mana di dalam kota dan membunuh semua orang di situ.
38 And the appointed signal it belonged to [the] man of Israel with the ambusher make great to cause to go up they [the] rising of the smoke from the city.
Tetapi mereka sudah sepakat lebih dulu bahwa kalau ada asap tebal mengepul ke atas dari tengah-tengah kota,
39 And he turned [the] man of Israel in the battle and Benjamin it began to strike down fatally wounded among [the] man of Israel about thirty man for they said surely certainly [is] defeated it before us like the battle first.
pasukan inti yang mundur harus berbalik dan menyerang musuh. Pada saat itu orang-orang Benyamin sudah membunuh 30 tentara Israel dan menyangka mereka telah mengalahkan orang-orang Israel lagi seperti semula.
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.
Tetapi tiba-tiba asap mulai mengepul ke atas dari tengah-tengah kota Gibea. Orang-orang Benyamin terkejut ketika mereka menoleh dan melihat seluruh kota mereka terbakar.
41 And [the] man of Israel he turned and he was terrified [the] man of Benjamin if he saw that it had touched to him calamity.
Dan pada saat itu juga pasukan inti Israel balik menyerang, sehingga tentara Benyamin itu menjadi panik karena mereka menyadari bahwa mereka pasti akan kalah.
42 And they turned before [the] man of Israel to [the] way of the wilderness and the battle it overtook him and [those] who [were] from the cities [were] destroying him in [the] midst of him.
Jadi, mereka lari dari orang-orang Israel menuju ke daerah padang gurun, tetapi mereka tidak dapat lolos. Mereka terkepung di antara pasukan inti Israel dan pasukan yang pada saat itu sedang datang dari jurusan kota. Orang Benyamin menderita kekalahan yang amat hebat.
43 They surrounded Benjamin they pursued him rest they trod down him to opposite Gibeah from [the] rising of [the] sun.
Orang-orang Israel mengepung dan mengejar mereka terus-menerus sampai ke suatu tempat di sebelah timur Gibea. Sambil mengejar, mereka membunuh
44 And they fell of Benjamin eight-teen thousand man all these [were] men of strength.
18.000 prajurit terlatih dari angkatan perang Benyamin.
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.
Tentara Benyamin lainnya balik lalu lari lewat daerah padang gurun menuju ke gunung-gunung batu di Rimon. Lima ribu orang di antara mereka dibunuh di tengah jalan. Yang lainnya dikejar terus sampai ke Gideom. Dari orang-orang itu ada 2.000 yang dibunuh.
46 And it was all those [who] fell of Benjamin twenty and five thousand man [who] drew a sword on the day that all these [were] men of strength.
Jadi, tentara Benyamin yang dibunuh hari itu ada 25.000 orang--semuanya prajurit yang gagah berani.
47 And they turned and they fled the wilderness towards to [the] rock of Rimmon six hundred man and they dwelt at [the] rock of Rimmon four months.
Tetapi dari antara mereka yang lari lewat daerah padang gurun menuju ke gunung-gunung batu di Rimon ada 600 orang yang lolos. Mereka tinggal di Rimon empat bulan lamanya.
48 And [the] man of Israel they turned back against [the] descendants of Benjamin and they struck them to [the] mouth of [the] sword from a city of soundness unto animal unto everything which was found also all the cities which were found they sent in fire.
Kemudian orang Israel kembali lagi lalu menyerang dan membunuh semua sisa-sisa orang Benyamin--pria, wanita, anak-anak dan hewan juga. Semua kota di daerah itu mereka bakar.
