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.
Sa’an nan dukan Isra’ilawa daga Dan zuwa Beyersheba kuma daga ƙasar Gileyad mutane kamar mutum guda suka fito suka taru a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa.
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.
Shugabanni dukan kabilan mutane na kabilan Isra’ila suka zazzauna a wurarensu a taron jama’ar Allah, mayaƙa dubu ɗari huɗu masu ɗamara da takuba.
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.
(Mutanen Benyamin suka ji cewa Isra’ilawa sun haura zuwa Mizfa.) Sa’an nan Isra’ilawa suka ce, “Gaya mana yadda wannan mugun abu ya faru.”
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.
Sai Balawen, mijin matar da aka kashe ya ce, “Ni da ƙwarƙwarata mun zo Gibeya a Benyamin don mu kwana.
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.
Da dad dare mutanen Gibeya suka bi ni suka kewaye gidan da niyya su kashe ni. Suka yi wa ƙwarƙwarata fyaɗe, har ta mutu.
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 ɗauki ƙwarƙwarata na yayyanka gunduwa-gunduwa na aika da shi ga kowane yankin gādon Isra’ila, domin sun aikata mugu abu da abin kunya a Isra’ila.
7 So now, all you Israeli people, speak, and tell me what you think should be done!”
To, dukanku Isra’ilawa, sai ku yi magana ku kuma yanke hukuncinku.”
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!
Dukan mutane suka tashi kamar mutum ɗaya, suna cewa “Ba waninmu da zai tafi gida. Sam, babu ko ɗayanmu da zai koma gidansa.
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].
Amma yanzu ga abin da za mu yi wa Gibeya. Za mu haura mu fāɗa yadda ƙuri’a ta nunar.
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.”
Za mu ɗauko mutum goma a kowane mutum ɗari daga dukan kabilan Isra’ila, da ɗari a dubu, da kuma dubu a dubu goma, domin a tanada wa mayaƙan. Sa’an nan, sa’ad da mayaƙan suka iso Geba a Benyamin, za su yi da su daidai bisa ga muguntar da suka yi a Isra’ila.”
11 And all the Israeli people agreed [that the people of Gibeah should be punished].
Saboda haka dukan mutane Isra’ilawa suka taru suka kuma haɗu kamar mutum guda don su fāɗa wa birnin da yaƙi.
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?
Kabilan Isra’ila suka aika jakadu a ko’ina a cikin kabilar Benyamin cewa, “Wace irin mugunta ce wannan da kuka aikata?
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.
Yanzu fa sai ku fitar da waɗannan’yan iskan da suka aikata wannan abu na Gibeya don mu kashe su mu kawar da mugunta daga Isra’ila!” Amma mutanen Benyamin ba su saurari’yan’uwansu Isra’ilawa ba.
14 The men of the tribe of Benjamin left their cities and gathered at Gibeah to fight the [other] Israelis.
Daga biranensu suka tattaru a Gibeya don su yaƙi Isra’ilawa.
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.
Nan da nan mutanen Benyamin suka tattara mayaƙa dubu ashirin da shida masu takuba daga biranensu, ban da mayaƙa ɗari bakwai da aka zaɓa daga mazauna a Gibeya.
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!
Cikin dukan mayaƙan nan akwai zaɓaɓɓu mutane ɗari bakwai waɗanda su bahagwai ne, kowanne yana iya harbin gashin guda na kai da majajjawa ba kuskure.
17 There were 400,000 men from the other Israeli tribes who had swords.
Isra’ila kuwa, ban da Benyamin, sun tara mayaƙa masu takobi dubu ɗari huɗu, dukansu gwanayen yaƙi ne.
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.”
Sai Isra’ilawa suka haura zuwa Betel suka nemi nufin Allah, suka ce, “Wane ne a cikinmu zai fara fāɗa wa mutanen Benyamin?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Yahuda ce za tă fara.”
19 The next morning, the Israeli men went and set up their tents near Gibeah.
Kashegari sai Isra’ilawa suka tashi suka kafa sansani kusa da Gibeya.
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].
Mutanen Isra’ila suka fita yaƙi da mutane Benyamin suka kuma ja dāgār yaƙi a Gibeya.
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.
Mutanen Benyamin suka fito daga Gibeya suka kashe mutum dubu ashirin da biyu na Isra’ilawa a dāgār yaƙi a ranar.
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.
Amma mutanen Isra’ila suka ƙarfafa juna, suka sāke koma inda suka ja dāgā a rana ta farko.
Isra’ilawa suka haura suka yi kuka a gaban Ubangiji, har yamma, suka nemi nufin Ubangiji. Suka ce, “Mu sāke koma yaƙi da mutanen Benyamin,’yan’uwanmu?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Ku haura ku fāɗa musu.”
24 The next day they again stood in their positions for fighting, just like they had done on the previous day.
Sai Isra’ilawa suka matsa kusa da Benyamin a rana ta biyu.
25 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and attacked the Israelis, and killed 18,000 more of their men.
A wannan lokaci, da mutanen Benyamin suka fito daga Gibeya don su yaƙe su, sai suka sāke kashe Isra’ilawa dubu goma sha takwas, dukansu ɗauke da takuba.
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.
Sa’an nan Isra’ilawa, dukan mutane, suka haura zuwa Betel, a can suka zauna suna kuka a gaban Ubangiji. Suka yi azumi a wannan rana har yamma suka miƙa hadayun ƙonawa da hadayun salama ga Ubangiji.
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.”
Isra’ilawa suka nemi nufin Ubangiji (A kwanakin nan akwatin alkawarin Allah yana can,
Finehas ɗan Eleyazar, ɗan Haruna, kuwa yana hidima a gabansa.) Suka ce, “Mu sāke haura mu yi yaƙi da mutanen Benyamin’yan’uwanmu, ko a’a?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Ku je, gama gobe zan ba da su a hannuwanku.”
29 So [the next day, 10,000 of] the Israeli men (set up ambushes/went to hide) [in the fields] around Gibeah.
Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta yi kwanto kewaya da Gibeya.
30 The [other] Israeli men went and stood in their positions for fighting a battle just like they had done on the previous days.
Suka haura su kara da mutanen Benyamin a rana ta uku suka ja dāgā a Gibeya kamar dā.
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.
Mutanen Benyamin suka fito su same su aka kuma jawo su nesa da birnin. Suka fara karkashe Isra’ilawa kamar dā, har aka kashe wajen mutum talatin a filaye da kuma a hanyoyi, wadda take zuwa Betel da kuma wadda take zuwa Gibeya.
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.
Yayinda mutanen Benyamin suna cewa, “Muna cin nasara a kansu kamar dā,” Isra’ilawa kuwa suna cewa, “Mu yi ta jan da baya mu janye su daga birni zuwa kan hanyoyi.”
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.
Dukan mutanen Isra’ila suka taso daga wurarensu suka ja dāgā a Ba’al-Tamar, Isra’ilawan da suka yi kwanto a yammancin Geba kuwa suka fito.
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.
Sa’an nan jarumai Isra’ila dubu goma suka yi gaba suka kai wa Gibeya hari. Yaƙi kuwa ya yi zafi har mutane Benyamin ba su san masifa tana dab da su ba.
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]:
Ubangiji kuwa ya fatattake mutanen Benyamin a gaban Isra’ila; a ranar kuwa Isra’ilawa sun kashe mutum 25,100 na mutanen Benyamin, dukansu ɗauke da takuba.
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].
Sa’an nan Benyamin suka ga an ci su. To, mutanen Isra’ila sun yi ta ja da baya daga mutanen Benyamin domin suna dogara ga waɗanda sa su yi kwanto kusa da Gibeya ne.
Mutanen da suke kwanto suka yi wuf suka ruga cikin Gibeya, suka bazu suka kuma karkashe dukan waɗanda suke a birnin.
Mutanen Isra’ila sun riga sun shirya da’yan kwanton cewa su murtuke hayaƙi daga birnin,
39 By that time, the men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are winning the battle, as we did before!”
a sa’an nan ne mutanen Isra’ila za su juya su fāɗa wa mutane Benyamin da yaƙi. Mutanen Benyamin sun fara karkashe mutum talatin na Isra’ila, sai suka ce, “Muna cin nasara a kansu kamar dā.”
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.
Amma da alamar hayaƙi ya fara murtukewa daga birnin, sai mutanen Benyamin suka juya suka ga hayaƙi yana murtukewa ko’ina a cikin birnin zuwa sararin sama.
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.
Sa’an nan mutanen Isra’ila suka juyo musu, mutanen Benyamin kuwa suka tsorata domin sun gane masifa ta zo musu.
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.
Saboda haka suka tsere a gaban Isra’ila zuwa wajen hamada, amma ba su iya tsere wa yaƙin ba. Mutanen Isra’ila da suka fito daga cikin birnin suka karkashe su a can.
43 They surrounded [some of] the men of the tribe of Benjamin, and pursued the others to the area east of Gibeah.
Suka kewaye mutanen Benyamin, suka kore su, suka fatattake su a wajajen Gibeya a gabashi.
44 They killed 18,000 strong soldiers of the tribe of Benjamin.
Mutum dubu goma sha takwas na mutanen Benyamin suka mutu dukansu kuwa jarumai ne.
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.
Da suka juya suka juya suka tsere zuwa wajajen hamada zuwa dutsen Rimmon, Isra’ilawa suka kashe mutum dubu biyar a kan hanyoyi. Suka yi ta matsa wa mutanen Benyamin har zuwa Gidom suka kashe mutum dubu biyu kuma.
46 Altogether, there were 25,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who were killed, all of whom had swords.
A ranar kuwa mutanen Benyamin dubu ashirin da biyar ne aka kashe, dukansu jarumai.
47 But 600 men of the tribe of Benjamin ran to Rimmon Rock in the desert. They stayed there for four months.
Amma mutane ɗari shida suka juya suka tsere wajajen hamada zuwa dutsen Rimmon, inda suka zauna wata huɗu.
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.
Mutanen Isra’ila suka koma wurin mutanen Benyamin suka kashe dukan waɗanda suke a birnin, tare da dabbobi da kome da suka samu. Dukan garuruwan da suka samu sun ƙone su ƙaf.
