Judges 20

1 And all the sons of Israel go out, and the company is assembled as one man, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah, at Mizpeh.

Na ka puta nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, a huihui ana te whakaminenga me te mea he tangata kotahi, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, no te whenua ano hoki o Kireara, ki a Ihowa, ki Mihipa.

2 And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword.

I puta mai ano nga rangatira o te iwi katoa, o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, i roto i te huihui o te iwi a te Atua, e wha rau nga mano, he hunga haere i raro, he hunga mau hoari.

3 And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, 'Speak ye, how hath this evil been?'

A i rongo nga tamariki a Pineamine kua tae nga tamariki a Iharaira ki Mihipa. Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira, Korerotia mai i peheatia tenei mea kino.

4 And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who hath been murdered, answereth and saith, 'Into Gibeah (which [is] to Benjamin) I have come, I and my concubine, to lodge;

Na ka utua e te Riwaiti, e te tangata nana te wahine i kohurutia ra, ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki Kipea, ki tera i a Pineamine, maua ko taku wahine iti, moe ai.

5 and rise against me do the masters of Gibeah — and they go round the house against me by night — me they thought to slay, and my concubine they have humbled, and she dieth;

Na ko te whakatikanga mai o nga tangata o Kipea ki ahau, kei te karapoti i te whare i te po, he mea hoki moku; i mea ratou kia patua ahau: na whakaititia ana taku wahine a mate iho.

6 and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have done wickedness and folly in Israel;

Na ka mau ahau ki taku wahine, a tapatapahia ana e ahau, hoatu ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua, i te kainga tupu o Iharaira, mo ratou i mahi i te mahi kino, i te mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira.

7 lo, ye [are] all sons of Israel; give for you a word and counsel here.'

Na, e nga tamariki a Iharaira, koutou katoa, homai ki konei ta koutou kupu, me to koutou whakaaro.

8 And all the people rise as one man, saying, 'None of us doth go to his tent, and none of us doth turn aside to his house;

Na ka whakatika katoa te iwi ano he tangata kotahi, ka mea, E kore tetahi o tatou e haere ki tona teneti, e kore ano hoki tetahi o tatou e peka atu ki tona whare.

9 and now, this [is] the thing which we do to Gibeah — against it by lot!

Engari ko ta tatou tenei e mea ai ki Kipea: ma te rota te tikanga mo ta tatou whawhai ki reira.

10 and we have taken ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a myriad, to receive provision for the people, to do, at their coming to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which it hath done in Israel.'

Me tango tangata, kia tekau i roto i te rau, i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, he rau i roto i te mano, he mano i roto i te tekau mano, hei mau o mo te iwi; a ka tae ki Kipea o Pineamine ka rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea poauau katoa i mahia e rato u i roto i a Iharaira.

11 And every man of Israel is gathered unto the city, as one man — companions.

Heoi huihui ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira hei whakaeke mo te pa, piri tonu me te mea he tangata kotahi ratou.

12 And the tribes of Israel send men among all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, 'What [is] this evil which hath been among you?

Na ka tono tangata nga iwi o Iharaira puta noa i te iwi katoa o pineamine, hei mea, He aha tenei mea kino kua meatia nei i roto i a koutou?

13 And now, give up the men — sons of worthlessness — which [are] in Gibeah, and we put them to death, and we put away evil from Israel.' And [the sons of] Benjamin have not been willing to hearken to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel;

Na homai aianei aua tangata, nga tama a Periara i Kipea, kia whakamatea e matou, kia whakakorea ai te kino i roto i a Iharaira. Otiia kihai a Pineamine i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o o ratou tuakana, o nga tamariki a Iharaira.

14 and the sons of Benjamin are gathered out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle with the sons of Israel.

Na ka huihui nga tama a Pineamine i roto i nga pa ki Kipea, ka haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Iharaira.

15 And the sons of Benjamin number themselves on that day; out of the cities [are] twenty and six thousand men drawing sword, apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah, [who] numbered themselves, seven hundred chosen men;

Na ka taua i taua ra nga tama a Pineamine o nga pa, e rua tekau ma ono mano nga tangata, he hunga mau hoari; tera atu ano nga tangata o Kipea; i taua ratou e whitu rau tangata, whiriwhiri rawa.

16 among all this people [are] seven hundred chosen men, bound of their right hand, each of these slinging with a stone at the hair, and he doth not err.

Kei roto ano i tenei hunga katoa etahi, e whitu rau, he hunga whiriwhiri, he maui; ko enei katoa he hunga e piua ai te kohatu ki te huruhuru mahunga, a e kore e taha.

17 And the men of Israel numbered themselves, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, drawing sword, each of these a man of war.

I taua ano hoki nga tangata o Iharaira, nga mea ehara i a Pineamine, e wha rau mano tangata, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga hapai pakanga enei katoa.

18 And they rise and go up to Beth-El, and ask of God, and the sons of Israel say, 'Who doth go up for us at the commencement to battle with the sons of Benjamin?' and Jehovah saith, 'Judah — at the commencement.'

Katahi nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatika, ka haere ki Peteere, ka ui atu ki te Atua, ka mea, Ko wai o matou hei timata te haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ma Hura e timata.

19 And the sons of Israel rise in the morning, and encamp against Gibeah,

Na ka maranga nga tama a Iharaira i te ata, a ka noho ki Kipea.

20 and the men of Israel go out to battle with Benjamin, and the men of Israel set themselves in array with them, [for] battle against Gibeah,

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Pineamine; a whakaritea ana a ratou ngohi e nga tama a Iharaira mo te whawhai ki Kipea.

21 and the sons of Benjamin come out from Gibeah, and destroy in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men — to the earth.

Na ka puta nga tama a Pineamine i roto i Kipea, a pirau rawa i a ratou ki te whenua i taua ra e rua tekau ma rua mano o nga tangata o Iharaira.

22 And the people, the men of Israel, strengthen themselves, and add to set the battle in array in the place where they arranged themselves on the first day.

Na ka whakatenatena te iwi, nga tangata o Iharaira, i a ratou ano, a whakaritea ana ano a ratou ngaohi kia whawhai ai ki taua wahi ano i whakaritea ai i te ra tuatahi.

23 And the sons of Israel go up and weep before Jehovah till the evening, and ask of Jehovah, saying, 'Do I add to draw nigh to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother?' And Jehovah saith, 'Go up against him.'

I haere ano nga tama a Iharaira, i tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowa a ahiahi noa, i ui atu hoki ki a Ihowa, i mea, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere ki te whawhai ki a ia.

24 And the sons of Israel draw near unto the sons of Benjamin on the second day,

Na ka whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te rua o nga ra.

25 and Benjamin cometh out to meet them from Gibeah on the second day, and destroy among the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men — to the earth; all these are drawing sword.

I puta mai ano a Pineamine i roto i Kipea i te rua o nga ra ki te tu ki a ratou, a pirau rawa ano i a ratou ki te whenua tekau ma waru mano o nga tama a Iharaira; he hunga mau hoari katoa enei.

26 And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and come in to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before Jehovah, and fast on that day till the evening, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

Katahi ka haere nga tama katoa a Iharaira me te iwi katoa, a ka tae ki Peteere; na ka tangi ratou, a ka noho i reira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kahore rawa hoki i kai i taua ra a ahiahi noa; me te whakaeke ano hoki i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahe re mo te pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

27 And the sons of Israel ask of Jehovah, — and there [is] the ark of the covenant of God in those days,

Na ka ui nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, i reira hoki te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua i aua ra,

28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, is standing before it in those days — saying, 'Do I add again to go out to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or do I cease?' And Jehovah saith, 'Go up, for to-morrow I give him into thy hand.'

Ko Pinehaha hoki, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona, te tu ana i tona aroaro i aua ra; ka mea ratou, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina, me whakamutu ranei? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere, ko apopo hoki ratou hoatu a i e ahau ki tou ringa.

29 And Israel setteth liers in wait against Gibeah, round about,

Katahi ka whakatakotoria he pehipehi e Iharaira mo Kipea a taka noa, taka noa.

30 and the sons of Israel go up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, and arrange themselves against Gibeah, as time by time.

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te toru o nga ra, e whakatakotoria ana nga ngohi hei whawhai ki Kipea, pera ano me mua ra.

31 And the sons of Benjamin come out to meet the people; they have been drawn away out of the city, and begin to smite [some] of the people — wounded as time by time, in the highways (of which one is going up to Beth-El, and the other to Gibeah in the field), [are] about thirty men of Israel.

Na ko te putanga mai o nga tama a Pineamine ki te tu ki te iwi, manukawhakitia ana ratou i te pa; na ka timata ratou te patu i etahi o te iwi, te tukituki, te pera me mua ra, i nga huarahi e tika atu ra, ko tetahi ki Peteere, ko tetahi ki Kipea i te parae, me te mea e toru tekau nga tangata o Iharaira.

32 And the sons of Benjamin say, 'They are smitten before us as at the beginning;' but the sons of Israel said, 'Let us flee, and draw them away out of the city, unto the highways.'

Na ka mea nga tama a Pineamine, Kua hinga ratou i a tatou, kua pera me to te timatanga. Otiia i mea nga tama a Iharaira, Kia rere atu tatou; me manukawhaki mai ratou i roto i te pa ki nga huarahi.

33 And all the men of Israel have risen from their place, and arrange themselves at Baal-Tamar, and the ambush of Israel is coming forth out of its place, out of the meadow of Gibeah.

Na ka whakatika ake nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i o ratou wahi, a ka tu a matua ki Paaratamara: i puta mai ano nga pehipehi o Iharaira i to ratou wahi, ara i Marehekepa.

34 And they come in over against Gibeah — ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel — and the battle [is] grievous, and they have not known that the evil is striking against them.

Na haere tonu atu ki Kipea nga tangata kotahi tekau mano, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira katoa, a ka nui haere te whawhai: kihai ratou i mohio ka tata te kino ki a ratou.

35 And Jehovah smiteth Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroy in Benjamin, on that day, twenty and five thousand, and a hundred men; all these [are] drawing sword.

Na patua iho e Ihowa a Pineamine i te aroaro o Iharaira, a ngaro iho o Pineamine i nga tama a Iharaira i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano kotahi rau: he hunga mau hoari enei katoa.

36 And the sons of Benjamin see that they have been smitten — and the men of Israel give place to Benjamin, for they have trusted unto the ambush which they had set against Gibeah,

Heoi ka kite nga tama a Pineamine e patua ana ratou: i tukua mai a Pineamine e nga tangata o Iharaira, i whakamanawa atu hoki ki te pehipehi i whakatakotoria e ratou ki Kipea.

37 and the ambush have hasted, and push against Gibeah, and the ambush draweth itself out, and smiteth the whole of the city by the mouth of the sword.

Na hohoro tonu te pehipehi, huakina ana e ratou a Kipea; te unuhanga mai hoki o te pehipehi, na patua iho e ratou te pa katoa ki te mata o te hoari.

38 And there was the appointed sign to the men of Israel with the ambush — their causing to go up a great volume of smoke from the city.

Na kua oti tetahi tohu te whakarite e nga tangata o Iharaira ki te pehipehi, ara kia meinga e ratou kia nui te kake o te pongere o te paowa i te pa.

39 And the men of Israel turn in battle, and Benjamin hath begun to smite the wounded among the men of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, 'Surely they are utterly smitten before us, as [at] the first battle;

A, i te whatinga o nga tangata o Iharaira i te mea e whawhai ana, ka anga a Pineamine, ka patu, ka tukituki i nga tangata o Iharaira, me te mea e toru tekau tangata: i mea hoki ratou, Koia rawa ano! e hinga ana ano ratou i a tatou, e pera ana an o me to te whawhaitanga tuatahi.

40 and the volume hath begun to go up from the city — a pillar of smoke — and Benjamin turneth behind, and lo, gone up hath the perfection of the city toward the heavens.

Otiia ka timata nei te kake o te pongere o te pa ki runga, me te pou auahi, na ka titiro nga Pineamini ki muri i a ratou, nga kua pau te pa i te ahi, e kake ana tera he paowa ki te rangi.

41 And the men of Israel have turned, and the men of Benjamin are troubled, for they have seen that the evil hath stricken against them —

Ko te tahuritanga atu o nga tangata o Iharaira, kanakana kau ana nga tangata o Pineamine; i kite hoki ratou kua tae mai te he ki a ratou.

42 and they turn before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness, and the battle hath followed them; and those who [are] from the city are destroying them in their midst;

Na reira ka whati ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Iharaira ki te huarahi ki te koraha; otiia i pipiri tonu te whai a te hoariri i a ratou; na, ko te hunga i puta mai i roto i nga pa, kei te whakangaro i a ratou, he mea karapoti na ratou.

43 they have compassed the Benjamites — they have pursued them — with ease they have trodden them down till over-against Gibeah, at the sun-rising.

Ka karapotia e ratou nga Pineamini a taka noa, a whaia ana, takatakahia ana i o ratou okiokinga, i te ritenga atu o Kipea whaka te rawhiti.

44 And there fall of Benjamin eighteen thousand men — the whole of these [are] men of valour;

A kotahi tekau ma waru mano o nga tangata o Pineamine i hinga: he hunga maia enei katoa.

45 and they turn and flee toward the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon; and they glean of them in the highways five thousand men, and follow after them unto Gidom, and smite of them two thousand men.

Na ka whati ratou, a rere ana ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono: a e rima mano tangata i hamua e ratou ki nga huarahi, na ka whaia ano ratou ki Kiromo, a patua iho o ratou e rua mano tangata.

46 And all those falling of Benjamin are twenty and five thousand men drawing sword, on that day — the whole of these [are] men of valour;

Na ko te hunga katoa i hinga o Pineamine i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga maia katoa enei.

47 and there turn and flee into the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon six hundred men, and they dwell in the rock Rimmon four months.

A e ono rau tangata i tahuri, i rere ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono, a e wha nga marama i noho ai ki te kamaka o Rimono.

48 And the men of Israel have turned back unto the sons of Benjamin, and smite them by the mouth of the sword out of the city, — men unto cattle, unto all that is found; also all the cities which are found they have sent into fire.

A i tahuri atu ano nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine, a patua iho ratou ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata o nga pa, me nga kararehe, me nga mea katoa i tupono atu ai ratou: i tungia ano e ratou ki te ahi nga pa katoa i tae atu a i ratou.
