Judges 21
1 And [the] man of Israel he had sworn at Mizpah saying anyone of us not he will give daughter his to Benjamin to a wife.
Orang-orang Israel telah bersumpah di Mizpa, demikian: "Seorangpun dari kita takkan memberikan anaknya perempuan kepada seorang Benyamin menjadi isterinya."
2 And it came the people Beth-el and they sat there until the evening before God and they lifted up voice their and they wept weeping great.
Ketika bangsa itu datang ke Betel dan tinggal di situ di hadapan Allah sampai petang, maka merekapun menyaringkan suaranya menangis dengan sangat keras,
3 And they said why? O Yahweh [the] God of Israel has it happened (this [thing] *LA(bh)*) in Israel to be missing this day from Israel a tribe one.
katanya: "Mengapa, ya TUHAN, Allah Israel, terjadi hal yang begini di antara orang Israel, yakni bahwa hari ini satu suku dari antara orang Israel hilang?"
4 And it was from [the] next day and they rose early the people and they built there an altar and they offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi maka bangsa itu mendirikan mezbah di situ, lalu mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan.
5 And they said [the] people of Israel who? [is [the] one] who not he went up in the assembly from all [the] tribes of Israel to Yahweh for the oath great it was to [the one] who not he went up to Yahweh Mizpah saying certainly he will be put to death.
Pada waktu itu berkatalah orang-orang Israel: "Siapakah dari seluruh suku Israel yang tidak ikut datang dengan jemaah ini untuk menghadap TUHAN?" Sebab mereka telah bersumpah dengan sungguh-sungguh mengenai orang yang tidak datang menghadap TUHAN di Mizpa, demikian: "Pastilah ia dihukum mati."
6 And they had compassion [the] people of Israel to Benjamin brother its and they said it has been cut off this day a tribe one from Israel.
Orang-orang Israel merasa kasihan terhadap suku Benyamin, saudaranya itu, maka kata mereka: "Hari ini ada satu suku terputus dari orang Israel.
7 What? will we do for them for [those who] remain for wives and we we have sworn by Yahweh to not to give to them any of daughters our to wives.
Apakah yang dapat kita lakukan kepada orang-orang yang tinggal itu dalam hal mencarikan isteri, karena kitalah yang bersumpah demi TUHAN untuk tidak memberikan seorangpun dari anak-anak perempuan kita kepada mereka menjadi isterinya?"
8 And they said who? [is the] one from [the] tribes of Israel which not it went up to Yahweh Mizpah and there! not he had come anyone to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.
Sebab itu berkatalah mereka: "Dari suku-suku Israel adakah satu yang tidak datang menghadap TUHAN di Mizpa?" Lalu tampaklah, bahwa dari Yabesh-Gilead tidak ada seorangpun yang datang ke perkemahan jemaah itu.
9 And it was mustered the people and there! there not there [was] anyone from [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead.
Lalu diperiksa jumlah bangsa itu, dan tampaklah tidak hadir seorangpun dari penduduk Yabesh-Gilead.
10 And they sent there the congregation two [plus] ten thousand man from [the] sons of strength and they commanded them saying go and you will strike [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead to [the] mouth of [the] sword and the women and the little one[s].
Maka perkumpulan itu menyuruh ke situ dua belas ribu orang dari orang-orang gagah perkasa dengan memerintahkan kepada mereka, demikian: "Pergilah, pukullah penduduk Yabesh-Gilead dengan mata pedang, juga perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak.
11 And this [is] the thing which you will do every male and every woman [who] has known lying of a male you will totally destroy.
Tetapi perbuatlah begini: hanya semua laki-laki sajalah dan semua perempuan yang telah pernah tidur dengan laki-laki harus kamu tumpas."
12 And they found of [the] inhabitants of - Jabesh Gilead four hundred young woman virgin[s] who not she had known a man to lying of a male and they brought them to the camp Shiloh which [is] in [the] land of Canaan.
Mereka menjumpai di antara penduduk Yabesh-Gilead empat ratus orang anak gadis, perawan yang belum pernah tidur dengan orang laki-laki, lalu gadis-gadis itu dibawa mereka ke perkemahan di Silo, di tanah Kanaan.
13 And they sent all the congregation and they spoke to [the] descendants of Benjamin who [were] at [the] rock of Rimmon and they proclaimed to them peace.
Sesudah itu segenap umat itu menyuruh orang membawa pesan kepada bani Benyamin yang ada di bukit batu Rimon, lalu memaklumkan damai kepada mereka.
14 And it returned Benjamin at the time that and they gave to them the women whom they had preserved alive from [the] women of Jabesh Gilead and not they found for them so.
Pada waktu itu kembalilah suku Benyamin, dan kepada mereka diberikan perempuan-perempuan yang telah dibiarkan hidup dari antara perempuan Yabesh-Gilead; tetapi belum cukup juga jumlahnya bagi mereka.
15 And the people it had compassion to Benjamin for he had made Yahweh a breach in [the] tribes of Israel.
Maka bangsa itu merasa kasihan kepada suku Benyamin, karena TUHAN telah membuat keretakan di antara suku-suku Israel.
16 And they said [the] elders of the congregation what? will we do for [those who] remain for wives for she is destroyed from Benjamin woman.
Kemudian berkatalah para tua-tua umat itu: "Apakah yang dapat kita lakukan kepada yang tinggal ini dalam hal mencarikan isteri? Sebab perempuan-perempuan telah punah dari antara suku Benyamin."
17 And they said a possession of [the] escaped remnant [belongs] to Benjamin and not it will be wiped out a tribe from Israel.
Lagi kata mereka: "Warisan orang-orang yang terluput itu haruslah tetap tinggal pada suku Benyamin, supaya jangan ada suku yang terhapus dari antara orang Israel.
18 And we not we are able to give to them wives any of daughters our for they had sworn [the] people of Israel saying [be] cursed [one who] gives a wife to Benjamin.
Tetapi kita ini tidak dapat memberikan isteri kepada mereka dari anak-anak perempuan kita." Sebab orang-orang Israel telah bersumpah, demikian: "Terkutuklah orang yang memberikan isteri kepada suku Benyamin!"
19 And they said here! [the] festival of Yahweh [is] in Shiloh from days - days towards which [is] from north-ward of Beth-el [the] rising of towards the sun of [the] highway which goes up from Beth-el Shechem towards and from [the] south to Lebonah.
Lalu kata mereka pula: "Setiap tahun ada perayaan bagi TUHAN di Silo yang letaknya di sebelah utara Betel, di sebelah timur jalan raya yang menuju dari Betel ke Sikhem dan di sebelah selatan Lebona."
20 (And they commanded *Q(K)*) [the] descendants of Benjamin saying go and you will lie in wait in the vineyards.
Maka mereka berpesan kepada bani Benyamin, demikian: "Pergilah menghadang di kebun-kebun anggur.
21 And you will see and there! if they will come out [the] daughters of Shiloh to dance in dances and you will go out from the vineyards and you will seize for yourselves each man wife his from [the] daughters of Shiloh and you will go [the] land of Benjamin.
Perhatikanlah baik-baik; maka apabila anak-anak perempuan Silo keluar untuk menari-nari, baiklah kamu keluar dari kebun-kebun anggur itu, dan masing-masing melarikan seorang dari anak-anak perempuan Silo itu menjadi isterinya dan pergi ke tanah Benyamin.
22 And it will be that they will come fathers their or brothers their (to make a complaint *Q(k)*) to us and we will say to them show favor for to us them for not we took each man wife his in the battle for not you you gave [them] to them about this time you will be guilty.
Apabila ayah atau saudaranya laki-laki datang untuk menuntutnya kepada kami, maka kami akan berkata kepada mereka: Serahkanlah mereka itu kepada kami dengan rela hati, sebab dalam pertempuran kita tidak dapat menangkap seorang perempuan untuk menjadi isteri mereka masing-masing. Memang kamu ini tidak memberikan anak-anak gadis itu kepada mereka; sebab seandainya demikian, kamu bersalah."
23 And they did thus [the] descendants of Benjamin and they carried off wives to number their from the dancers whom they seized and they went and they returned to inheritance their and they rebuilt the cities and they dwelt in them.
Jadi bani Benyamin berbuat demikian; dari gadis-gadis yang menari-nari yang dirampas itu mereka mengambil perempuan, jumlahnya sama dengan jumlah mereka, kemudian pulanglah mereka ke milik pusakanya lalu membangun kota-kotanya kembali dan diam di sana.
24 And they dispersed from there [the] people of Israel at the time that each man to tribe his and to clan his and they went out from there each man to inheritance his.
Pada waktu itu pergilah orang Israel dari sana, masing-masing menurut suku dan kaumnya; mereka masing-masing berangkat dari sana ke milik pusakanya.
25 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel each man the right in own eyes his he will do.
Pada zaman itu tidak ada raja di antara orang Israel; setiap orang berbuat apa yang benar menurut pandangannya sendiri.
