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.
Hagi anante noti kaziga Daniti vuno Berseba uhanatigeno sauti kazigati'ene, Jodani timofo kantu kaziga Giliatiti'ene maka Israeli vahera emeri tru hu'naze. Hagi ana maka Israeli vahera Ra Anumzamofo avuga Mispa kumateke ome atru hu'naze.
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.
Hagi Israeli naga'mofonte'ma ugagota hu'naza maka kva vahetmimo'za Anumzamofo vahe'mo'zama atruma hazafi umani'naze. Hagi anampina kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu sondia vahe'tmina 400 tausenia vahe mani'naze.
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.
Hagi Israeli naga'mo'za Mispa kumate'ma atruma haza nanekemo'a ko Benzameni nagatera vu'ne. Hagi Israeli vahetmimo'za amanage hu'naze. Inankna huno ama ana kefo avu'ava zana fore hu'nefi hugeta antahimneno.
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.
Hazageno nenaroma ahe fri'naza Livae ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Benzameni nagamofo kumate Gibea masenaku a'ni'ane nagranena emani'no'e.
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.
Hianagi ana kenagera Gibea kumate vahe'mo'za eme tavazagigagi'za nahe'za nehu'za, a'ni'a avre'za monko'zana hunentazageno fri'ne.
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.
E'ina hazage'na ana a'mofo avufga'a taga hu'na 12fu'a Israeli naga nofima mani'nazarega, atrogeno vuno eno hu'ne. Na'ankure Israeli mopamofo agu'afina kasrino havizantfa huno zamagazegu huga monko avu'avaza hu'naze.
7 So now, all you Israeli people, speak, and tell me what you think should be done!”
Hagi menina maka Israeli vahe'motma na'a hugahumpi nanekea hiho.
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!
Hagi anagema hige'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za magoke zamagi ante'za amanage hu'naze, Mago'mo'e huno seli noma'arega ovuge, noma'arega ovuge hugahie.
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].
Hianagi amanahu'za Gibea vahera huzamantegahune. Satu zokagoreta kesunkeno, zamagimo'ma efore'ma hania vahe'mo'za hatera vu'za hara ome hugahaze.
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.”
Hagi 100'a Israeli vahepintira 10ni'a vaheke nezamavareta, 1tauseni'a vahepintira 100'a vahe nezamavareta, 10 tauseni'a vahepintira 1tauseni'a vahetami zamavaresunke'za Gibea kumate vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe amu'nompima kasrino havizantfama hu'nea monko avu'avazama hu'nazare'ma ha'ma ome huzmante'za zamavu'za zamagesazama hanaza sondia vahe'mokizmi ne'zana eri'za vugahaze.
11 And all the Israeli people agreed [that the people of Gibeah should be punished].
E'ina hige'za maka Israeli emerimago hu'za Gibea kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.
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?
Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni nagatega amanage hu'za kea atrazageno vu'ne. Nankna kefo avu'avaza amu'nontamifina fore hu'ne?
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.
E'ina hazenke vahetmina Gibea kumapintira avre taminketa zamahe frisunkeno, Israeli mopamo'a agru hino. Hianagi zamafuhe'zama Israeli vahe'mo'za hazankea Benjamen naga'mo'za ontahi'naze.
14 The men of the tribe of Benjamin left their cities and gathered at Gibeah to fight the [other] Israelis.
Ana nehu'za maka Benzameni mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimpinti vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzamantenaku Gibea kumate emeritru hu'naze.
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.
Hagi Benzameni naga'mofo kumatamimpintira kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu vahera 26 tauseni'a vahe eritru hazageno, Gibea kumatetira anampina 700'a hankave sondia vahetami eritru hu'naze.
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!
Hagi e'i ana 700'a ha' vahetmina hoga kazigati hara hu vahetminkino, kumi atifima havema ante'zama osi'zama ahesazana hantaga osugahaze.
17 There were 400,000 men from the other Israeli tribes who had swords.
Hagi kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu vahera 400 tauseni'a Israeli vahera eritru hu'za, Benzameni nagara hara huzmante'naku hu'naze.
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.”
Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za henka hara ome hugahunanki hu'za nehu'za, esera Beteli kumate vu'za Anumzamofona amanage hu'za ome antahige'naze. Ina naga nofimo'za vugota hurantesageta Benzameni nagara hara ome huzmantegahune? Hu'za hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Juda naga'mo'za vugota hu'za vugahaze.
19 The next morning, the Israeli men went and set up their tents near Gibeah.
Hagi anagema hutege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za nantera otiza Gibea kuma tava'onte vu'za seli nonkumazmia ome ki'za mani'naze.
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].
Hagi anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni nagara ha' ome huzamante'naku Gibea kumate ome erimpi hu'za oti'naze.
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.
Hagi anama hazageno'a Benzameni naga'mo'za Gibea kumapintira atiramiza Israeli vahe'enena hara eme nehu'za, ana zupa 22 tauseni'a Israeli sondia vahera zamahe fri'naze.
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.
Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ana zankura zamagesa ontahi ko'ma hate'ma vunaku'ma emeritru hu'naza kumapi ete hate vunaku atruhu'za mani'ne'za nanekea hu'za ozeri hankaveti azeri hankaveti hu'naze.
Ana hute'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Beteli kumate mareri'za, Ra Anumzamofontega zavi krafa ome nehazageno vuno kinagase'ne. Hagi zavima nete'za amanage hu'za Ra Anumzamofona antahige'naze. Tafuhe'mofona Benzameni nagara ete hara ome huzamantenumpi atrenune? Hu'za hazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Vuta hara ome huzamanteho.
24 The next day they again stood in their positions for fighting, just like they had done on the previous day.
Anagema hige'za mase'za anante nanterana vu'za Benzameni nagara hara ome huzamante'naze.
25 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and attacked the Israelis, and killed 18,000 more of their men.
Hagi Benzameni naga'mo'za ete mago'ane Gibea kumapintira atirami'za 18 tauseni'a Israeli vahetamina kazinteti'ma ha'ma nehaza vahera zamahe fri'naze.
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.
Hagi anama hige'za maka Israeli vahe'mo'za arimpa fru ofane kresramnama vu ofanena e'neriza, Beteli kumate mareri'za ofa ome nehu'za, ne'zana a'o hu'za mani'ne'za tusi zavi Ra Anumzamofontega netazageno vuno kinagase'ne.
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.”
Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo antahintahi'a erinaku Beteli vu'naze. Na'ankure e'ina knafina Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a Beteli kumate me'nege'za anara hu'naze.
Aroni negeho Eleaza nemofo Finiasi ana knafina pristia mani'ne. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Ra Anumzamofona antahige'naze. Tafuhe'mofona Benzameni nagara hara ome huzmantenumpi atrenune? Hu'za hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Okina zamavarena tamazampi antegahuanki vuta hara ome huzamanteho.
29 So [the next day, 10,000 of] the Israeli men (set up ambushes/went to hide) [in the fields] around Gibeah.
Anagema hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Gibea Kumate vu'za kafona ome antegagi'naze.
30 The [other] Israeli men went and stood in their positions for fighting a battle just like they had done on the previous days.
Hagi ana'ma hute'za namba 3 knarera ko'ma nehazaza hu'za hahunaku Gibea kumate vu'naze.
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.
Hagi anante Benzameni naga'mo'za kumazmifintira atirami'za Israeli nagara hara eme huzamantage'za Israeli naga'mo'za zamimi hu'za kumazmimofona afete vu'naze. Hagi Israeli vahera 30'a vahe Betelima vu kantegane Gibeama vu kanteganena zamahe fri'naze.
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.
Hagi Benzameni naga'mo'za amanage hu'naze, kote'ma hu'nonaza huta Israeli vahera zamahone. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za amange hu'naze, Atreta nefreta zami'mi huta karanka vanunke'za, kumazmia atre'za afete egahaze.
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.
Hagi anagema hute'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Ba'al-tamar kumate unehanati'za ete rukrahe hu'za ha'huzamanteku ha'zana ome retro hu'za manizageno, mago'a Israeli vahe'ma Ma'ar-Geba kumate'ma kafoma ante'za mani'nazaretira hahunaku kafona hage'za atirami'naze.
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.
Hagi 10tauseni'a Israeli sondia vahe'ma knare'ma hu'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, Gibea kumatera hara eme hu'naze. Hagi ha'mo'a tusiza huno hankavetino vu'neanagi, Israeli vahe'mo'zama zamahe hana'ma huzankura Benzameni naga'mo'za ontahi'naze.
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]:
Ana'ma hazageno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera zamaza hige'za' Benzameni nagara 25tausen 100'a kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu'ama antahini'ma hu'naza vahera zamahe'naze.
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].
Hagi ana'ma hazage'za Benzameni naga'mo'za kazana Israeli vahe'mo'za hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure kafoma ante'naza nagaku Israeli vahe'mo'za zamagesa nentahi'za Benzameni nagara zami'mi hu'za Gibea kumara atre'za afete e'naze.
Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, kafoma ante'za mani'naza Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamagare'za Gibea kumapi ufre'za, ana kumapima mani'naza vahera kazinteti zamahehana nehu'za,
ana kumara teve tagintazageno teve kumo'a vemagu vemagu huno marerige'za, mago'a Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za nege'za hara agaterone hu'za hu'naze.
39 By that time, the men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are winning the battle, as we did before!”
Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama ana tevegu'ma nege'za ete rukrahe hu'za Benzameni nagara zamarotgo hu'naze. Hagi ana zupa Benzameni naga'mo'za 30'a Israeli vahe nezmahe'za amanage hu'naze. Ko'ma hu'nonaza huta Israeli vahera hara hago huzamagaterone.
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.
Hianagi Benzameni naga'mo'zama rukrahe hu'zama kazana teve kumo'a kumazmifintira vemagu vemagu huno hampompi marerige'za ke'naze.
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.
Ana'ma hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za Benzameni nagara hara huzamantage'za, Benzameni naga'mo'za tusi koro hu'naze. Na'ankure zamagrama antahi'za ke'zama hazana ra hazenkefi ufrone hu'naze.
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.
Hagi anantetira rukrahe hu'za ka'ma kokampi Israeli vahe'mokizmi korora fre'naze. Hianagi kumazmima omeri havizama hute'za aza vahe'mo'za zamavatga hu'naze.
43 They surrounded [some of] the men of the tribe of Benjamin, and pursued the others to the area east of Gibeah.
Hagi Benzameni nagara Noha kumateti agafa hute'za zamaratgo hu'za manigasa osu Gibea kuma'mofona kantu zage hanati kaziga vu'naze.
44 They killed 18,000 strong soldiers of the tribe of Benjamin.
Hagi ana knarera Benzameni nagara hankavetiza ha'ma huga sondia vahetamina, 18tauseni'a vahe zamahe'naze.
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.
Hagi maniza naga'mo'za hagage kokampi Rimon havema me'nerega fre'za nevazageno 5tauseni'a vahera karanka ome zamahe'naze. Hagi mago'a vahera zamarotgo hu'za Gidomu kumate 2tauseni'a vahe ome zamahe'naze.
46 Altogether, there were 25,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who were killed, all of whom had swords.
Hagi ana maka vahe'ma ha'ma huga vahe'ma zamahe'neana 25tauseni'a vahe Benzameni nagara zamahe'naze.
47 But 600 men of the tribe of Benjamin ran to Rimmon Rock in the desert. They stayed there for four months.
Hianagi 600'a vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za fre'za hagege kokampi vu'za Rimon havefi 4'a ika umani'naze.
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.
Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni nagamofo kumatamimpintira maka vahe'ene bulimakao afu'zaminena zamahe vaganere'za ana kumatmina teve taginte vagare'naze.
