Judges 20
1 All the Israelis, from Dan [city in the north] to Beersheba [city in the south], and even from [the] Gilead [region on the east side of the Jordan River, heard what had happened. So they] they gathered together at Mizpah, [at the place where they worshiped] Yahweh.
Isala: ili dunu huluane da Gode ba: ma: ne, Misiba moilaiga gilisi. Ilia da Isala: ili soge huluane amoga misi - gagoe (north) moilai Da: ne asili gagoe (south) moilai bai bagade Biasiba amoga doaga: le, huluane da misi. Eso mabe soge Gilia: de amola amoga ilia da misi.
2 The leaders of [eleven of] the tribes of Israel stood in front of the people who gathered there. There were 400,000 men with swords who were there.
Amo Gode Ea fi gilisisu amoga Isala: ili ouligisu dunu huluane da misi. Amola emoga ahoasu dadi gagui dunu 400,000 agoane da gilisi.
3 The people of the tribe of Benjamin heard that the other Israelis had gone up to Mizpah, [but none of the men from their tribe went to the meeting there]. The Israelis who had come to Mizpah asked about the evil thing that had happened.
Bediamini fi dunu da Isala: ili dunu huluane da Misiba moilaiga gilisi dagoi amo nabi. Isala: ili dunu da amane adole ba: i, “Amo wadela: i hou da habodane hamobela: ?”
4 So the husband of the woman who had been killed replied, “My slave wife and I came to Gibeah [city], wanting to stay there that night.
Lifai dunu amo ea gidisedagi uda da medole legei ba: i, amane adole i, “Na gidisedagi uda amola na da Gibia moilai bai bagade Bediamini soge amoga golamusa: asi.
5 That evening, the men of Gibeah came to attack me. They surrounded the house [where I was staying] and wanted to [have sex with me and then] kill me. They [raped and] abused my slave wife [all night], and she died.
Gibia dunu da nama doagala: musa: misini, ania diasu sisiga: i. Ilia da na medole legemusa: dawa: i. Be amo hou fisili, ilia da na uda wadela: lesilalu, e medole legei.
6 I took her body home and cut it into pieces. Then I sent one piece to each area of Israel, [because I wanted you all to know about] this wicked and disgraceful/shameful thing [that] has been done here in Israel.
Na da ea bogoi da: i hodo lale, dadega: le, amola wa: i afae afae amo Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala ilima iasi. Amo dunu da wadela: idafa hou ninia fi amo ganodini hamoi dagoi.
7 So now, all you Israeli people, speak, and tell me what you think should be done!”
Dilia huluane guiguda: da Isala: ili dunu. Amo hou hahamoma: ne, ninia da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
8 All the people stood up, and in unison said, “None of us will go home! Not one of us will return to his house!
Dunu huluane da wa: legadole, amane sia: i, “Ninia huluane, abula diasu ganodini esalebe dunu amola diasudafa amo ganodini esalebe, ninia huluane da nini diasuga bu hame masunu.
9 This is what we must do to [the people of] Gibeah. First, we will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to determine which group should attack them].
Ninia da agoane hamomu. Ninia da dunu amo Gibiama doagala: musa: ilegema: ne, ado ululuasu hedesu hou hamomu.
10 We will choose (one tenth/one from every ten) of the men from all the Israeli tribes. Those men will go and find food for the men who will go to attack the people of Gibeah. Then the other men will go to Gibeah to (pay the people back/punish them) for this terrible thing that they have done [here] in Israel.”
Ninia dunu fi amo ganodini 1/10 (nabuane fifili afadafa gala) da ha: i manu amo dadi gagui dunuma imunu. Eno dunu huluane da Gibia fi ilima se ima: ne masunu.”
11 And all the Israeli people agreed [that the people of Gibeah should be punished].
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu huluane da gilisili, bai afadafa hamomusa: gilisi. Amo da Gibia ilima doagala: musa: gilisi.
12 Then the Israeli men sent messengers throughout the tribe of Benjamin. They demanded, “Do you realize that some of your men have done a very evil thing?
Isala: ili fi da sia: adola ahoasu dunu amo Bediamini soge huluane amo ganodini asunasi. Ilia da amane adole ba: i, “Amo wadela: idafa hou dilia hamoi, ea bai da adi baila: ?
13 Bring those wicked men to us, in order that we can execute them. [By doing that], we will be doing what should be done because of this evil thing that has happened in Israel.” But the [people of the] tribe of Benjamin did not pay attention to their fellow Israelis.
Wali amo Gibia wadela: i hamosu dunu ninima ima. Ninia da amo dunu medole legele, amo wadela: i hou amo Isala: ili fi ganodini gala fadegale fasimu.” Be Bediamini dunu da Isala: ili fi eno ilia sia: hame nabi.
14 The men of the tribe of Benjamin left their cities and gathered at Gibeah to fight the [other] Israelis.
Be Bediamini moilai huluane amoga ilia da misini, Gibia moilaiga Isala: ili fi eno, amoga gegemusa: doaga: i dagoi.
15 In that one day the men of the tribe of Benjamin recruited 26,000 soldiers who knew how to fight using swords. They also chose/recruited 700 men from Gibeah.
16 From all those soldiers there were 700 men who were left-handed, and each of them could sling a stone at [a target that was very small and as narrow as] a hair, and the stone always hit the target!
Amo esohaga, ilia moilai bai bagadega ilia da dadi gagui 26,000 agoane amo misa: ne wele sia: i. Amola Gibia esalebe dunu da dadi gagui dunu amo da ilia lobo fofadi amoga gegesu, amo 700 agoane gilisi. Ilia da ga: muga: dadi amoga ilia dialuma hinabo afae amo igiga gala: loba, hamedafa giadofasu.
17 There were 400,000 men from the other Israeli tribes who had swords.
Isala: ili fi oda da dadi gagui 400,000 agoane gilisi.
18 Those other Israelis went up to Bethel and asked God, “Which tribe should be the first to attack the men from the tribe of Benjamin?” Yahweh answered, “[The men from the tribe of] Judah should go first.”
Isala: ili dunu da Godema sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo Bedele amoga asili, Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Adi fi da Bediamini fi hidadea doagala: ma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Yuda fi!”
19 The next morning, the Israeli men went and set up their tents near Gibeah.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da hahabe asili, Gibia moilai gadenene ilia hawa: i fisu hamone esalu.
20 Then they went to fight against [the men from the tribe of] Benjamin, and stood in their positions for fighting a battle, [facing Gibeah].
Ilia Bediamini dadi gagui doagala: musa: asili, Gibia moilai da ilia midadi ba: i.
21 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and fought against them, and they killed 22,000 Israeli men on that day.
Bediamini dadi gagui da Gibia amoga misini, doagala: le, amo esoga 22,000 Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu medole legei.
22 [Late that afternoon], the [remaining] Israeli men went to the place of worship and cried until the sun set. Then they asked Yahweh, “Should we attack the men of the tribe of Benjamin again, even though they are our fellow Israelis?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them again.” So the Israeli men encouraged each other.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da sia: ne gadosu sogebi amoga asili, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne bagadewane dinanu, asili, daeya doaga: i. Ilia da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Ninia bu eno ninia olalali Bediamini dunu ilima doagala: ma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Ama!” Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui da ilia dogo denesi ba: i. Ilia da Gibia moilaiga asili, ilia dadi gagui aya agoane Bediamini dunuma gegemusa: lelu.
24 The next day they again stood in their positions for fighting, just like they had done on the previous day.
Ilia da enowane Bediamini dunuma doagala: musa: mogodigili asi.
25 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and attacked the Israelis, and killed 18,000 more of their men.
Be musa: gegei defele, Bediamini dunu da Gibia fisili, ilima doagala: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui 18,000 (ili da noga: le gegema: ne olelei) amo medole lelegei dagoi ba: i.
26 [In the afternoon], all the people of Israel [who had not been killed] again went to Bethel. There they sat down and cried to Yahweh, and they (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They brought some offerings which they burned completely [on the altar], and they also brought some offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da Bedele moilaiga didiga: musa: asi. Ilia Hina Gode ba: ma: ne ha: i mae nawane esaloba, daeya gamai. Ilia Hina Godema Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu gobele salasu hamoi amola gobele salasu ohe oda gogo gobele sali.
27 At that time, the Sacred Chest that contained the stone tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments was there at Bethel. A priest named Phinehas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, often stood in front of that chest [and talked with Yahweh]. While he stood there on that day, he asked Yahweh, “Shall we go again to fight against our fellow Israelis from the tribe of Benjamin, or shall we stop fighting against them?” Yahweh answered, “Go again tomorrow, because tomorrow I will enable you to defeat them.”
Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da amo esoga Bedele sogebi galu. Finia: se (Ilia: isa ea egefe amola Elane ea aowa) da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ouligisu. Isala: ili dunu da Hina Godema bu adole ba: i, “Ninia da ninia olalali Bediamini dunu ilima bu gegemusa: masa: bela: ? O ninia fisima: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Gegema! Aya Na da fidimuba: le, dilia da ili hasalimu.”
29 So [the next day, 10,000 of] the Israeli men (set up ambushes/went to hide) [in the fields] around Gibeah.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da dadi gagui dunu Gibia moilaiga sisiga: le, wamoaligima: ne asunasi.
30 The [other] Israeli men went and stood in their positions for fighting a battle just like they had done on the previous days.
Amalalu, eso osodaga, ilia musa: hou defele, ilia da Bediamini dunuma doagala: musa: asili, Gibia ea midadi dada: lei.
31 When the men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of the city to fight against them, the Israeli men retreated away from the city, and the men of the tribe of Benjamin pursued them. The men of the tribe of Benjamin killed many Israelis, like they had done before. They killed about 30 Israelis. They killed some in the fields, and they killed some on the road that went to Bethel and on the road that went to Gibeah.
Bediamini dunu da gegemusa: , moilai gadili asili, Isala: ili dunu sefasimusa: fa: no bobogei. Musa: agoane ilia da umi soge Bedele ahoasu amola Gibia ahoasu la: ididili amo ganodini Isala: ili dunu muni medole legelalu. Ilia da Isala: ili dadi gagui30agoane medole legei.
32 The men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are defeating them like we did before!” But then Israeli men did what they had planned. The main group of Israeli men retreated a short distance from the city, to [trick] the men of Gibeah and cause them to pursue the Israeli men along the roads outside the city.
Bediamini dunu ilisu amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninia da musa: agoane, Isala: ili dunu hasali.” Be Isala: ili dunu da ili gadili, logoga oule asili, musa: medole legemusa: dawa: i galu.
33 The main group of Israeli men left their positions and retreated, and then they stood in their battle positions again at a place named Baal-Tamar.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisudafa da hobeale, bu Ba: ile Da: ima sogega bu gilisi. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu amo da Gibia sisiga: i, da ilia wamoaligisu gele sogebi ganodini galu amo fisili, Gibia amoma doagala: musa: hehenai.
34 Then [while the men of Gibeah were running out of the city toward them], the other 10,000 Israelis came out from the places where they had been hiding, west of Gibeah. They were men who had come from all parts of Israel. There was a very big battle. But the men of the tribe of Benjamin did not know that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Amo dunu idi da 10,000. Ilia da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini dadi gagui noga: iwane ilegei. Ilia da Gibia doagala: i amola gegesu da gasa bagade ba: i. Bediamini dunu da fofogadigi. Ilia gugunufinisisu eso da doaga: i dagoi ilia hame dawa: i galu.
35 Yahweh enabled the Israeli men to defeat the men of the tribe of Benjamin. They killed 25,000 of them, even though they all were using swords. [This is what happened]:
Amo esoha, Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui dunu ili hasalasi. Ilia da dunu 25,100 agoane medole legei dagoi.
36 The main group of Israeli men arranged with the men who would be hiding that they should send up a smoke signal to enable the main group of soldiers to know when they should attack. Then the main group of Israeli men retreated for a short distance, because they knew that the other Israeli men who had been hiding on the other side of Gibeah would attack the people of the tribe of Benjamin by surprise. So [after the main group of Israeli men retreated a little distance], the men who had been hiding rushed out and ran into Gibeah and used their swords to kill everyone in the city. [Then they started to burn the buildings].
Amola Bediamini dunu da dafai dagoi, ilisu dawa: i. Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisu bagade da Bediamini dunu amoba: le hobea: i. Bai ilia dawa: i da dunu ilia da Gibia sisiga: le wamoaligimusa: asunasi, amo da ili fidimusa: ilia dawa: i.
Amo dunu da ilia wamoaligisu fisili, hedolowane Gibia moilaiga hehenai. Ilia da dunu huluane amo moilai ganodini esalu, medole legei dagoi.
Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisu bagade amola wamoaligisu dunu da musa: gilisili sia: daloba, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu agoane hahamoi. Ilia da lalu mobi mogomogoi agoane bagade Gibia amoga heda: lebe ba: beba: le,
39 By that time, the men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are winning the battle, as we did before!”
Isala: ili dadi gagui da Bediamini dunu ilima hobealalu, ilia da sinidigimu sia: i. Amo hou da doaga: loba, Bediamini dunu da Isala: ili dunu 30 agoane medole legei dagoi ba: i. Bediamini dunu da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninia da musa: agoane defele Isala: ili dunuma bu hasali dagoi.”
40 But then smoke [from the burning buildings] began to rise up from the city. The men of the tribe of Benjamin turned around and saw that the whole city was burning.
Amalalu, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu amo lalu mobi mogomogoi agoane amo Gibia amoga heda: lebe ba: i. Bediamini dunu da beba: le, fofogadigili, moilai huluane laluga nenanebe ba: i.
41 Then the main group of Israeli men [also saw the smoke, and they knew that the smoke signaled that they should] turn around and begin to attack. The men of the tribe of Benjamin were very afraid, because they realized that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dadi gagui da sinidigi. Bediamini dunu da bagadewane beda: i. Ilia da dafai dagoi, ilisu da dawa: i galu.
42 So the men of the tribe of Benjamin tried to run away toward the desert to escape from the Israeli men, but they were not able to escape, because the Israeli men who had burned the two cities came out of those cities and killed many of them.
Ilia da Isala: ili dunu amoba: le hobea: i. Be ilia da sani amo ganodini agoane ba: i. Ba: i da Isala: ili dunu amo Gibia moilaiga gadili ahoanebe da ilia la: idi amo doagala: i. Amalalu, ilia da Bediamini dunu wadela: lesi dagoi.
43 They surrounded [some of] the men of the tribe of Benjamin, and pursued the others to the area east of Gibeah.
Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dunu amo sani ganodini gagui galu. Ilia da mae fisili medole legelalu, amo dunu sefasili, sogebi amo Gibia ea eso mabadi la: ididili gala amoga doaga: i.
44 They killed 18,000 strong soldiers of the tribe of Benjamin.
Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui noga: iwane amo 18,000 agoane medole legei.
45 Then the rest of the men of the tribe of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. They ran toward the desert to Rimmon Rock, but the Israeli men killed 5,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin along the roads. They pursued the rest of them to Gidom, and they killed 2,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin there.
Bediamini dunu hame bogoi amo da hobeale, umi soge amo Limone Gele gadenene amoga hobea: i. Be Isala: ili da ilima doagala: le, 5,000 eno logoga medole legei. Ilia da bu sefasili, Ga: idoume sogebi amoga doaga: le, 2,000 eno medole legei.
46 Altogether, there were 25,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who were killed, all of whom had swords.
Amo esoga, Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui dunu noga: iwane, huluane 25,000 agoane medole legei.
47 But 600 men of the tribe of Benjamin ran to Rimmon Rock in the desert. They stayed there for four months.
Be dunu 600 agoane da hobeale, Limone Gele soge amoga asili, Isala: ili dunu da ili hame medole legei. Amo sogega, ilia da oubi biyaduyale gala esalu.
48 Then the Israeli men went back to the land belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, and killed the people in every city. They also killed all the animals, and destroyed everything else that they found there. And they burned all the cities that they came to.
Isala: ili dunu da sinidigili, Bediamini fi dunu eno huluane medole legei. Ilia da dunu, uda, mano amola ohe fi huluane medole lelegei dagoi. Ilia da moilai huluane amo soge ganodini dialu amo laluga ulagisi.
