Mahukunta 20
1 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.
Then went out all the children of Israel, and the congregation was assembled together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', with the land of Gil'ad, unto the Lord in Mizpah.
2 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.
and there presented themselves the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand men on foot that drew the sword.
3 (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.”
(And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Speak, how did this wickedness take place?
4 Sai Balawen, mijin matar da aka kashe ya ce, “Ni da ƙwarƙwarata mun zo Gibeya a Benyamin don mu kwana.
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gib'ah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to stay one night,
5 Da dad dare mutanen Gibeya suka bi ni suka kewaye gidan da niyya su kashe ni. Suka yi wa ƙwarƙwarata fyaɗe, har ta mutu.
When the men of Gib'ah rose against me, and beset the house round about against me by night; me they intended to slay; and my concubine they humbled, so that she died.
6 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.
And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her about throughout all the fields of the inheritance of Israel; for they had committed incest and scandal in Israel.
7 To, dukanku Isra’ilawa, sai ku yi magana ku kuma yanke hukuncinku.”
Behold, ye are all here children of Israel: furnish for yourselves here advice and counsel.
8 Dukan mutane suka tashi kamar mutum ɗaya, suna cewa “Ba waninmu da zai tafi gida. Sam, babu ko ɗayanmu da zai koma gidansa.
And all the people then arose as one man, saying, We will not go any of us to his tent, neither will we turn any of us into his house.
9 Amma yanzu ga abin da za mu yi wa Gibeya. Za mu haura mu fāɗa yadda ƙuri’a ta nunar.
And now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gib'ah: We will go up against it by lot;
10 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.”
And we will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to procure provisions for the people; that they may do, when they come to Gib'ah of Benjamin, in accordance with all the scandalous deed that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Saboda haka dukan mutane Isra’ilawa suka taru suka kuma haɗu kamar mutum guda don su fāɗa wa birnin da yaƙi.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, associated together as one man.
12 Kabilan Isra’ila suka aika jakadu a ko’ina a cikin kabilar Benyamin cewa, “Wace irin mugunta ce wannan da kuka aikata?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that hath been done among you?
13 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.
Now therefore deliver up the men, those worthless people, who are in Gib'ah, that we may put them to death, and remove evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 Daga biranensu suka tattaru a Gibeya don su yaƙi Isra’ilawa.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gib'ah, to go out to battle with the children of Israel.
15 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.
And at that time there were numbered of the children of Benjamin out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew the sword, beside the inhabitants of Gib'ah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 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.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lame in the right hand: every one of these could sling a stone at a hair, and would not miss.
17 Isra’ila kuwa, ban da Benyamin, sun tara mayaƙa masu takobi dubu ɗari huɗu, dukansu gwanayen yaƙi ne.
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of war.
18 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.”
And they arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and the children of Israel said, Who of us shall go up at first to the battle with the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah, at first.
19 Kashegari sai Isra’ilawa suka tashi suka kafa sansani kusa da Gibeya.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gib'ah.
20 Mutanen Isra’ila suka fita yaƙi da mutane Benyamin suka kuma ja dāgār yaƙi a Gibeya.
And the men of Israel went out to battle with Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in battle-array against them by Gib'ah.
21 Mutanen Benyamin suka fito daga Gibeya suka kashe mutum dubu ashirin da biyu na Isra’ilawa a dāgār yaƙi a ranar.
And the Children of Benjamin came forth out of Gib'ah, and struck down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
22 Amma mutanen Isra’ila suka ƙarfafa juna, suka sāke koma inda suka ja dāgā a rana ta farko.
And the people the men of Israel took courage, and set themselves again in battle-array in the place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
23 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.”
And the children of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until the evening, and asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I again approach to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.
24 Sai Isra’ilawa suka matsa kusa da Benyamin a rana ta biyu.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin on the second day.
25 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.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gib'ah on the second day, and struck down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men: all these were men that drew the sword.
26 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.
Now all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the Lord, and fasted on that day until the evening, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.
27 Isra’ilawa suka nemi nufin Ubangiji (A kwanakin nan akwatin alkawarin Allah yana can,
And the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, (for there was the ark of the covenant of God in those days,
28 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.”
And Phinehas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, shall I yet continue to go out to battle with the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I forbear? And the Lord said, Go up; for tomorrow will I deliver him into thy hand.
29 Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta yi kwanto kewaya da Gibeya.
And Israel sent men to lie in wait round about Gib'ah.
30 Suka haura su kara da mutanen Benyamin a rana ta uku suka ja dāgā a Gibeya kamar dā.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gib'ah, as at previous times.
31 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.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite some of the people, and kill, as at previous times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gib'ah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 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.”
And the children of Benjamin said, They are defeated before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
33 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.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Ba'al-thamar: and those that lay in wait of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Gib'ah.
34 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.
And there came against Gib'ah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that the evil was overtaking them.
35 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.
And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites on that day twenty and five thousand and one hundred men: all these were those that drew the sword.
36 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.
And the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto those that lay in wait whom they had set against Gib'ah.
37 Mutanen da suke kwanto suka yi wuf suka ruga cikin Gibeya, suka bazu suka kuma karkashe dukan waɗanda suke a birnin.
And those in ambush hastened, and spread themselves over Gib'ah; and those that lay in wait moved along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Mutanen Isra’ila sun riga sun shirya da’yan kwanton cewa su murtuke hayaƙi daga birnin,
Now there was an understanding between the men of Israel and those that lay in wait, that they should make an abundance of columns of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 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.”
And when the men of Israel turned round in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are entirely defeated before us, as in the first battle:
40 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.
Then began the cloud to arise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke; and when the Benjamites looked behind them, behold, the flames of all the city were ascending up to heaven.
41 Sa’an nan mutanen Isra’ila suka juyo musu, mutanen Benyamin kuwa suka tsorata domin sun gane masifa ta zo musu.
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that the evil had overtaken them.
42 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.
Therefore they turned round before the men of Israel unto the way to the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
43 Suka kewaye mutanen Benyamin, suka kore su, suka fatattake su a wajajen Gibeya a gabashi.
They enclosed the Benjamites round about, chased them, they overtook them in their places of rest, as far as opposite to Gib'ah toward the rising of the sun.
44 Mutum dubu goma sha takwas na mutanen Benyamin suka mutu dukansu kuwa jarumai ne.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these were men of valor.
45 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.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and they pursued hard after them as far as Gid'om, and slew of them two thousand men.
46 A ranar kuwa mutanen Benyamin dubu ashirin da biyar ne aka kashe, dukansu jarumai.
So that all who fell on that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of valor.
47 Amma mutane ɗari shida suka juya suka tsere wajajen hamada zuwa dutsen Rimmon, inda suka zauna wata huɗu.
But six hundred men turned and fled into the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and they abode on the rock Rimmon four months.
48 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.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beasts, and all that was found: also all the cities that they came upon did they set on fire.
