4 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.

Choncho Mlevi uja, mwamuna wa mkazi wophedwa uja anayankha nati, “Ine ndinapita ku Gibeya mʼdziko la Benjamini pamodzi ndi mzikazi wanga kuti tikagone kumeneko.

5 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.

Usiku anthu a ku Gibeya anandiwukira, nazinga nyumba munali ine. Ankafuna kundipha ndipo anagona ndi mzikazi wanga momukakamiza mpaka anafa.

6 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 Hagi menina maka Israeli vahe'motma na'a hugahumpi nanekea hiho.

Ndi zimenezotu inu Aisraeli nonse; yankhulaponi mawu ndi kupereka maganizo anu.”

8 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.

Anthu onse anayimirira ngati munthu mmodzi nanena kuti, “Palibe mmodzi wa ife amene apite ku nyumba kwake. Palibe amene abwerere ku nyumba kwake.

9 Hianagi amanahu'za Gibea vahera huzamantegahune. Satu zokagoreta kesunkeno, zamagimo'ma efore'ma hania vahe'mo'za hatera vu'za hara ome hugahaze.

Koma tsopano chimene ife tichite ndi dziko la Gibeya ndi ichi: Tidzapita kukamenyana nawo potsatira zimene maere anene.

10 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.

Mʼmafuko onse a Aisraeli tidzasankha anthu khumi pa anthu 100 aliwonse: ndiye kuti anthu 100 pa anthu 1,000 aliwonse kapena anthu 1,000 pa anthu 10,000 aliwonse. Anthu amenewa adzasonkhanitsa zakudya za ankhondo, ndipo ankhondowo adzapita kukalipsira anthu a ku Geba mʼdziko la Benjamini chifukwa chochita chinthu chonyansa chotere mʼdziko la Israeli.”

11 E'ina hige'za maka Israeli emerimago hu'za Gibea kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.

Choncho anthu a ku Israeli anasonkhana pamodzi nagwirizana chimodzi, kukalimbana ndi mzindawo.

12 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?

Mafuko a Israeli anatumiza anthu kwa fuko lonse la Benjamini kukafunsa kuti, “Kodi zoyipa zachitika pakati panuzi ndi zotani?

13 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.

Tsono tikuti mutipatse anthu achabechabe a ku Gibeya kuti tiwaphe kuti tichotse chinthu choyipachi mʼdziko la Israeli.” Koma fuko la Benjamini silinafune kumvera zimene ananena Aisraeli anzawo.

14 Ana nehu'za maka Benzameni mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimpinti vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzamantenaku Gibea kumate emeritru hu'naze.

Mʼmalo mwake, Abenjaminiwo anatuluka mʼmizinda yawo ku Gibeya kukamenyana ndi Aisraeli.

15 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.

Tsiku limenelo Abenjamini anasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku mizinda yawo ankhondo 26,000 amalupanga awo, osawerengera anthu ena 700 a ku Gibeya amene anasankhidwa.

16 Hagi e'i ana 700'a ha' vahetmina hoga kazigati hara hu vahetminkino, kumi atifima havema ante'zama osi'zama ahesazana hantaga osugahaze.

Mwa onsewa panali ankhondo 70 amanzere amene aliyense anali wodziwa kulasa ngakhale tsitsi limodzi ndi mwala osaphonya.

17 Hagi kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu vahera 400 tauseni'a Israeli vahera eritru hu'za, Benzameni nagara hara huzmante'naku hu'naze.

Aisraeli, kupatula fuko la Benjamini, anasonkhanitsa anthu 400,000 a malupanga, onse odziwa bwino nkhondo.

18 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.

Ndipo Aisraeli ananyamuka kupita ku Beteli kukafunsira kwa Mulungu. Iwo anati, “Ndani mwa ife amene angayambe kukamenyana ndi fuko la Benjamini?” Yehova anayankha kuti, “Fuko la Yuda ndilo liyambe.”

19 Hagi anagema hutege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za nantera otiza Gibea kuma tava'onte vu'za seli nonkumazmia ome ki'za mani'naze.

Mmawa mwake Israeli ananyamuka nakamanga msasa moyangʼanana ndi Gibeya.

20 Hagi anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni nagara ha' ome huzamante'naku Gibea kumate ome erimpi hu'za oti'naze.

Aisraeli anapita kukachita nkhondo ndi fuko la Benjamini ndipo anandandalika ankhondo awo moyangʼanana ndi Gibeya.

21 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.

A fuko la Benjamini anatuluka ku Gibeya ndipo tsiku limenelo anapha Aisraeli 22,000 ku nkhondoko.

22 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.

Koma ankhondo a Israeli analimbikitsananso mtima ndipo anasonkhanitsanso kachiwiri ankhondo awo pa malo pamene anawandandalika poyamba paja.

23 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.

Aisraeli anapita kukalira pamaso pa Yehova mpaka madzulo. Iwo anafunsa Yehova kuti, “Kodi tipitenso kukamenyana ndi a fuko la Benjamini abale athu?” Yehova anayankha kuti, “Pitani mukalimbane nawo.”

24 Anagema hige'za mase'za anante nanterana vu'za Benzameni nagara hara ome huzamante'naze.

Ndipo Aisraeli anayandikiranso pafupi ndi fuko la Benjamini tsiku lachiwiri lake kuti amenyane nawo.

25 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.

Pa tsiku lachiwiri lomwelo Abenjamini anatulukanso mu mzinda wa Gibeya ndipo anaphanso ankhondo 18,000. Onse amene anawaphawo anali odziwa kugwiritsa ntchito bwino malupanga.

26 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.

Tsono Aisraeli onse, gulu lonse la ankhondo, anapita ku Beteli kukalira pamaso pa Yehova. Anakhala pansi nasala zakudya tsiku lonse mpaka madzulo. Anapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Yehova.

27 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.

Bokosi la Chipangano cha Yehova linali kumeneko.

28 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.

Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni ndiye ankatumikira nthawi imeneyo. Tsono Aisraeli anafunsa Yehova kuti, “Kodi tipitenso kukachita nkhondo ndi mʼbale athu Abenjamini, kapena ayi?” Yehova anayankha kuti, “Pitaninso chifukwa mawa ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwanu.”

29 Anagema hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Gibea Kumate vu'za kafona ome antegagi'naze.

Choncho Aisraeli anayika anthu obisalira mozungulira Gibeya.

30 Hagi ana'ma hute'za namba 3 knarera ko'ma nehazaza hu'za hahunaku Gibea kumate vu'naze.

32 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.

Abenjamini ankanena kuti, “Tikuwagonjetsa monga poyamba.” Koma Aisraeli ankanena kuti, “Tiyeni tithawe kuti apite ku msewu chapatali ndi mzinda wawo.”

33 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.

Choncho Aisraeli onse anachoka mʼmalo mwawo ndi kukandanda ku Baala-Tamara, ndipo Aisraeli obisalira aja anatuluka mʼmalo awo kummawa kwa Geba.

34 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.

Tsono Yehova anagonjetsa Abenjamini pamaso pa Israeli motero kuti Aisraeli anapha ankhondo a Abenjamini 25,100 tsiku limenelo.

36 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.

Choncho Abenjamini anaona kuti agonjetsedwa. Paja Aisraeli anathawa fuko la Benjamini chifukwa ankadalira anthu amene anawayika kuti abisalire mzinda wa Gibeya.

37 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,
