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.
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna okuva ku Ddaani okutuuka ku Beeruseba wamu n’ensi ya Gireyaadi ne bakuŋŋaana mu maaso ga Mukama e Mizupa, nga bali omuntu omu.
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.
Abakulembeze b’abantu bonna mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri ne batuula mu bifo byabwe mu kuŋŋaaniro ly’abantu ba Katonda, nga bawera abaserikale abaalina ebitala, emitwalo amakumi ana.
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.
Awo abaana ba Benyamini ne bawulira nti Abantu ba Isirayiri bambuse e Mizupa. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne boogera nti, “Ekintu kino eky’ekivve bwe kiti, kyabaawo kitya?”
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.
Omuleevi bba w’omukazi eyattibwa n’addamu nti, “Natuuka e Gibea ekya Benyamini, ne mukazi wange, tusule eyo.
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.
Abasajja ab’e Gibea ne bangolokokerako mu kiro, ne bazingiza ennyumba gye twalimu, ne baagala okunzita. Kyokka ne bakwata mukazi wange ne bamusobyako n’afa.
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.
Kyennava ntwala mukazi wange ne musalaasala, ne mpeereza ebitundu bye mu buli kifo eky’omugabo gwa Isirayiri, kubanga baakola ekikolwa eky’obugwenyufu era eky’ekivve.
7 Here! all of you O people of Israel give for yourselves a word and counsel here.
Kaakano mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri mwenna, musaleewo eky’okukola.”
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.
Awo abantu bonna ne bagolokoka nga bali omuntu omu, ne boogera nti, “Tewali muntu mu ffe aliddayo ewuwe. Tewali aliddayo mu nnyumba ye.
9 And now this [is] the thing which we will do to Gibeah on it by lot.
Naye kaakano ekintu kye tulikola Gibea okumulwanyisa, kwe kumukubira akalulu.
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.
Abantu kkumi ku bantu kikumi okuva mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, n’abalala kikumi ku bantu olukumi, n’abalala lukumi ku bantu omutwalo ogumu bagende bafunire eggye ebyetaago. Eggye bwe lirituuka e Gibea eky’e Benyamini balyoke bababonereze ng’ekikolwa kyabwe eby’obugwenyufu bwe kiri, kye baakola mu Isirayiri.”
11 And it gathered every man of Israel to the city like a man one united.
Awo abantu bonna aba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaana ne baba omuntu omu, ne balumba ekibuga.
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.
Ebika bya Isirayiri ne bituma ababaka mu kika kyonna ekya Benyamini, nga babuuza nti, “Kikolwa ki eky’ekivve ekyakolebwa wakati mu mmwe?
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.
Kale kaakano muweeyo abasajja abaana b’ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu abali mu Gibea tubatte, tuggyewo ekibi mu Isirayiri.” Naye abaana ba Benyamini ne bagaana okuwuliriza eddoboozi ly’abaana ba Isirayiri.
14 And they gathered [the] descendants of Benjamin from the cities Gibeah towards to go out for battle with [the] people of Israel.
Awo abaana ba Benyamini ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Gibea nga bava mu bibuga byonna, bagende balwanyise abaana ba Isirayiri.

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.
Abasajja ba Isirayiri, nga totaddeeko abava mu Benyamini, ne bakuŋŋaana abasajja abalwanyi abasitula ebitala, emitwalo amakumi ana.
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.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagolokoka ne bayambuka e Beseri ne beebuuza ku Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Ani ku ffe alisooka okugenda okulwanyisa abaana ba Benyamini?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Yuda yalisooka.”

27 And they enquired [the] people of Israel by Yahweh and [was] there [the] ark of [the] covenant of God in the days those.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne beebuuza ku Mukama Katonda, kubanga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Katonda yaliyo mu biro ebyo,
