Judges 21
1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
Israelten Mizpah a kihahselna khat aneiyun, “Eihon Benjamin phungmite pasal hohi ichanuteu ipehlou diu ahi” atiuve.
2 The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.
Chuin Israel mipite chu Bethel’ah acheuvin Pakai angah nilhah geijin lungnatah leh lainatah in akapmun ahi.
3 They said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be one tribe lacking in Israel today?”
Amaho ping jah jengun, “O Pakai, Israel Pathen, Israel sunga i-atileh hitobanga hi lhunga hitam? Tun kaphung lah uva khat hi Israel akonnin amang thahtai!” atiuve.
4 On the next day, the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Ajing jingkah matah in mipiten maicham khat asem’un pumgo thilto leh chamna thilto abol’un ahi.
5 The children of Israel said, “Who is there amongst all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”
Hijouchun amahon aseijun, “Eihon Pakai angsunga Mizpah munna ikikhop uva chu Israel phunglah a koipen ahung panglou umman?” atiuvin ahi. Hichepet achu amahon kihahselna gimneitah ananeijuva koihileh ahungpang louchu thadoh jengding ahi anatiu ahi.
6 The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.
Israelten asopiu Benjamin dingin lunghemna aneiyun hitin aseijun ahi, “Tunin Israel phunglah a khat hi amah thahtai,
7 How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”
Eihon athimoh mi themkhat dinga hi ajidiu iti ingaito peh diu hitam? Eihon la amaho kichenpi dinga ichanu teu ipehlouhel diu ahi, tia kitepna ineiyu ahitan,” akiti to tauve.
8 They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.
Amahon aseijun “Pakai anga Mizpah munna ikikhop pet uva chu Israel phung holah a konna koipen ham ahung panglouva chu?” atiuve. Hitichun amahon Jabesh-gilead na kon in koimacha ahungpang poi ti amudoh tauvin ahi.
9 For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.
Ajeh chu amahon mipi hochu asimtoh uleh Jabesh-gilead mi khatcha anapang pon ahi.
10 The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.
Hijeh chun mipi chun amahon galhat cheh sangsom le ni alhengdoh un Jabesh-gilead mite chu numei chapangho geiya gathat dingin asol’un ahi.
11 This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”
Amahon aseijun, “Hitia hi naboldiu ahi, pasal ho jouse leh nungah pasal toh lumkhomsa jouse jong nahin suhmang soh keidiu ahi.” Atiuve.
12 They found amongst the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Amahon Jabesh-gilead a chengho lah a chun pasal toh lumkhom khaloulai cheh nungah theng ail ahin mu uvin ama hochu Canaan gam Shiloh mun’ah ahin puilut’un ahi.
13 The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.
Israel khoppi pumpi chun Rimmon songpia kisel Benjamin mite athimoh ho komma chun chamna thulhut ding mi asol’un ahi.
14 Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.
Hitichun Benjamin mihochu ain munna ahung kileuvin chuleh Jabesh-gilead na akihinghoi numei ail hochu amaho jidingin apeuvin ahi. Ahinla numei hochu amaho abonchauvin achangsoh joupouvin ahi.
15 The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Mipi hochu Benjamin dingin ana lunghem lheh jengun ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin Benjamin chu Israel phung lah a akeh lhah ahitan ahi.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, “How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”
Hijeh chun khoppi lamkai hochun, “Benjamin phunga numei hola athigam tan, tua amoh chengho jiding chu iti iholdoh diu hitam?” atiuve.
17 They said, “There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.
“Israel phungkhat hum oh manthah theilou ding ahi. Benjamin phung chu ahung kidodoh thei nading lampi iholdoh diu angaije” atiuve.
18 However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, ‘Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”
Ahinlah eihon amaho jidinga achanu pipen pen chu Pathen sapset chandinga kihahselna gimneitah inabol’u ahiyeh a chu amaho dinga ichanuteu ipethei pouvin ahi” atiuve.
19 They said, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”
Hiche jouchun amahon kumseh a Shiloh munna Pakaija dinga kut kibol jichu ahin geldoh un ahi. Hiche Shiloh hi Lebonah lhanglam, Bethel sahlam Bethel’a konna Shechem’a lamlen solamma um ahi.
20 They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,
Amahon numei changlou lai Benjamin mitechu aseipeh un, “Cheuvin lang lengpi leiya khun gakisellun lang,
21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Shiloh nungah hokhu laam dinga ahung potdoh tenguleh lengpi leiya kon in hunglhaidoh unlang mikhatnin khat cheh gakimat uvin lang Benjamin gam nainlang uvah kipuilut unlang kichenpiuvin,” ati taove.
22 It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”
Apateu ahilouleh asopiteuvin keiho komma ahung uva kiphinna ahung nei uva ahileh keihon amahojah a, ‘lunghang hih un, amahokhu khoto jouvin, nachanu teu chu phalpeh jengun, keihon Jabesh-gilead kasuh mang uchun ajidiu kamujou peh tapouve, chuleh nangho na nopnatah uva nachanuteu napeh u ahiloujeh in nakitepnau chu nasuhkeh dehpouve tiuving ting anajol lungdamnao vinge,” atiuve.
23 The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.
Hitichun Benjamin mitechun aseipeh bangun anabol tauvin, nungah hochu alampet uchun mikhat in khat cheh akimat’un ajidingin akilhoh doh tauvin ahi. Amahon agamlanga akileuvin akhopiu akisemphat un chennan anei taove.
24 The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.
Hiche jouchun Israel mipite jong akipatdoh un ama insungleh aphung dungjuijin ama ama in cheh’a akile taove.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
Hichelai khanga chun Israel ten leng ananei pouvin, mipi hochun ama mitvetna dih asah dungjui cheh in ana chon’un ahi.
