Jasi Vahere 20

1 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.

Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

2 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.

The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.

3 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.

(Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”

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.

So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.

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.

And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.

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.

Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.

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

Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”

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.

Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.

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

Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.

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.

We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”

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

So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.

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?

And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?

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.

Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.

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

And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.

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.

On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.

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

Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.

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

The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.

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.

The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.

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

The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.

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

And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.

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.

And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.

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.

But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.

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.

They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”

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

On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.

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.

That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.

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.

Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.

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.

And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,

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.

and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”

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

So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.

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

On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.

31 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.

The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.

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.

“We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”

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.

So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.

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.

Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.

35 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.

The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.

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.

Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.

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,

The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.

38 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.

The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,

39 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.

the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”

40 Hianagi Benzameni naga'mo'zama rukrahe hu'zama kazana teve kumo'a kumazmifintira vemagu vemagu huno hampompi marerige'za ke'naze.

But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.

41 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.

Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.

42 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.

So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.

43 Hagi Benzameni nagara Noha kumateti agafa hute'za zamaratgo hu'za manigasa osu Gibea kuma'mofona kantu zage hanati kaziga vu'naze.

They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.

44 Hagi ana knarera Benzameni nagara hankavetiza ha'ma huga sondia vahetamina, 18tauseni'a vahe zamahe'naze.

And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.

45 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.

Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.

46 Hagi ana maka vahe'ma ha'ma huga vahe'ma zamahe'neana 25tauseni'a vahe Benzameni nagara zamahe'naze.

That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.

47 Hianagi 600'a vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za fre'za hagege kokampi vu'za Rimon havefi 4'a ika umani'naze.

But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.

48 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni nagamofo kumatamimpintira maka vahe'ene bulimakao afu'zaminena zamahe vaganere'za ana kumatmina teve taginte vagare'naze.

And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
