< 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.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai ʻo loto taha, mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, kia Sihova ʻi Misipa.
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e kau tangata tau ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe toʻo heletā.
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.
(Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo ʻalu hake ki Misipa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.) Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tala kiate kimautolu, naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻae angakovi ni?’
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae tangata Livai, ʻaia ko e husepāniti ʻoe fefine naʻe fakapoongi, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku hoko ki Kipea ʻaia ʻoku kau mo Penisimani, ko au mo hoku uaifi, ke mau mohe.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata Kipea kiate au, ʻonau ʻohofi mo kāpui ʻae fale ʻi he poʻuli, ʻonau tokanga ke tāmateʻi au: pea naʻa nau tohotoho ʻa hoku uaifi, pea ne mate ia.
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.
Pea naʻaku toʻo hoku uaifi ʻo tafatafaʻi, pea ʻave ia ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻoe tofiʻa ʻo ʻIsileli: he kuo nau fai ʻae angahala mo e meʻa kovi lahi ʻi ʻIsileli.
7 Here! all of you O people of Israel give for yourselves a word and counsel here.
Vakai, ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē; mou fakahā ʻi heni homou loto, mo hoʻomou fakakaukau.”
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake loto taha pe ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ha tau niʻihi ki fale, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tau taha ʻe afe ki hono fale.
9 And now this [is] the thing which we will do to Gibeah on it by lot.
Ka ko eni ʻae meʻa te tau fai ki Kipea; te tau fai ʻae talotalo ʻo ʻalu hake ki ai;
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.
Pea te tau fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mei he toko teau ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e toko teau ʻi he toko afe, mo e toko afe mei he toko mano kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tokonaki meʻakai ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ka nau ka hoko ki Kipea ʻo Penisimani, kenau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he angakovi kuo nau fai ʻi ʻIsileli.”
11 And it gathered every man of Israel to the city like a man one united.
Ko ia naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tuʻu hake ki he kolo, ʻonau kau loto taha ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ki he faʻahinga kātoa ʻo Penisimani, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae angakovi ni ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu?
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.
Pea ko eni, tuku mai kiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata, ʻae fānau ʻoe kovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipea, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, kae fakangata ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.” Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani ki he lea ʻa honau kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
14 And they gathered [the] descendants of Benjamin from the cities Gibeah towards to go out for battle with [the] people of Israel.
Ka naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani mei he ngaahi kolo ki Kipea, kenau ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻe lau ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he ngaahi kolo, ko e toko ua mano mo e toko ono afe, ko e kau tangata naʻe toʻo heletā, ka naʻe kehe ʻae kakai ʻo Kipea, ʻaia ko honau tokolahi ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau kuo fili.
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.
Pea ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe nima hema; naʻe poto kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻi he makatā, pea naʻa mo e laulahi ʻo ha foʻi louʻulu ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai ke hala ai.
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.
Pea naʻe lau hono toe ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli, kae tuku kehe ʻa Penisimani, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae heletā; ko kinautolu ni kotoa pē ko e kau tangata tau.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻonau kole ʻae poto ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻiate kimautolu ʻe ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa hake ki he tau ʻo tuʻu hake ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Siuta.”
19 And they arose [the] people of Israel in the morning and they encamped on Gibeah.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea teu tau ki Kipea.
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.
Pea ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani; pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Kipea.
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea, ʻonau tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he kau ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.
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.
Pea naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli, ʻo toe fakalanga ʻae tau ʻi he potu ko ia naʻa nau tali teuteu ai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho.
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.
(Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea kole ʻae fakakaukau ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake ʻo tauʻi ia.”)
24 And they drew near [the] people of Israel to [the] descendants of Benjamin on the day second.
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, pea toe tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe; ko e kau toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hoko ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo tangi, ʻonau nofo ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
27 And they enquired [the] people of Israel by Yahweh and [was] there [the] ark of [the] covenant of God in the days those.
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, (he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono haʻohaʻonga ʻo ia ʻa Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ) ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua, pe te u tukuā?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake; he te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima ʻapongipongi.”
29 And it set Israel ambushers to Gibeah round about.
Pea naʻe fakatoka ʻae malumu ʻe ʻIsileli ke takatakai ʻa Kipea.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻonau fokotuʻu teuteu pē ʻakinautolu ki Kipea, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa nau fai.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ke tauʻi ʻae kakai, pea kuo matoho ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: pea naʻa nau kamata teʻia ʻae kakai, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fuofua fai, ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi, (ʻa ia ko e hala ʻe taha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e taha ki Kipea ʻi he ngoue, ) ko e kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻe toko tolungofulu nai.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani, “Kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko hono fuofua fai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tau hola, pea tohoaki ʻakinautolu mei he kolo ki he ngaahi hala lahi.”
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē mei honau potu, pea tali tau pe ʻakinautolu ʻi Peali tama: pea naʻe hiki ʻae malumu mei honau ngaahi potu, ʻio, mei he ngaahi ngoue mohuku ʻo Kipea,
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.
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Kipea ʻae kau tangata fili ʻe tokotaha mano mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe fakamanavahē ʻae tau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo kuo ofi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Penisimani ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli: pea tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko nima afe mo e toko teau ʻi he kakai Penisimani: naʻe toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
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.
Pea kuo mamata ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe matamata hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Penisimani, koeʻuhi naʻa nau falala ki he malumu naʻe toka ʻaia naʻa nau tuku ʻo ofi ki Kipea.
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.
Pea naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he malumu, ʻo ʻoho atu ki Kipea; pea ʻalu atu pē ʻae malumu, ʻo teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
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.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ai ʻae fakaʻilonga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli mo e malumu, koeʻuhi ke nau tutu ʻae afi ke ulo lahi mo e ʻohuafi ke ʻalu hake mei he kolo.
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.
Pea ʻi he kamata hola ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he tau, pea kamata taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Penisimani, pea tāmateʻi ʻi he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu nai: he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki tau.”
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.
Pea ʻi he kamata ʻalu hake ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo mo e ngaahi pou ʻohuafi, pea tangaki kimui ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo sio kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae ulo ʻoe kolo.
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.
Pea ʻi he tafoki ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ofo ʻae kau Penisimani: he naʻa nau vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
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.
Ko ia naʻa nau fulituʻa, ki he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ki he toafa; ka naʻe lavaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tau; pea mo kinautolu naʻe hola kituʻa mei he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi honau lotolotonga.
43 They surrounded Benjamin they pursued him rest they trod down him to opposite Gibeah from [the] rising of [the] sun.
Naʻe pehē ʻenau ʻākilotoa ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo takatakai, pea tuli ʻakinautolu, ʻo malakaki faingofua hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea ʻo hanga ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.
44 And they fell of Benjamin eight-teen thousand man all these [were] men of strength.
Pea naʻe tō ai ʻae kau tangata Penisimani ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe; ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻa nau tafoki ʻo hola atu ki he toafa ki he maka ko Limoni: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima afe; pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Kitomi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae toko ua afe ʻokinautolu.
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.
Ko ia ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tō ʻi he kakai Penisimani ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano, mo e toko nima afe ʻaia naʻe toʻo heletā: ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
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.
Ka naʻe tafoki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻo hola ki he toafa ʻo aʻu ki he maka ko Limoni, pea ne nau nofo ʻi he maka ko Limoni ʻi he māhina ʻe fā.
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.
Pea naʻe toe tafoki kimui ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo: pea naʻa nau tutu foki ʻae kolo kotoa pē naʻa nau hoko ki ai ʻaki ʻae afi.
