Jasi Vahere 21
1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Mizpa kumate omeri atru hu'za amanage hu'za huvempa hu'naze, Magore huno magotimo'a mofa'a atresigeno Benzameni nagatera uomaregosie.
The sons of Israel had also taken an oath at Mizpah, and they said, “None of us shall give his daughters as a wife to the sons of Benjamin.”
2 Hagi ana'ma hute'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Beteli kumate Ra Anumzamofo avuga vu'za tusi zavi krafa nehazageno vuno kinaga omesege'za,
And they all went to the house of God at Shiloh. And sitting in his sight until evening, they lifted up their voice, and they began to weep, with a great wailing, saying,
3 zamagra amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka nahigeno Israeli vahepintira mago naga'mo'za fananea hu'za nehaze?
“Why, O Lord, God of Israel, has this evil happened among your people, so that this day one tribe would be taken away from us?”
4 Hagi mase'za anante knarera nanterame oti'za kresramna vu ita trohu'za, anante kresramnama vu ofa nehu'za, zamarimpa fru ofanena hu'naze.
Then, rising at first light on the next day, they built an altar. And they offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings there, and they said,
5 Hagi anante amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahepintira ina naga'mo Ra Anumzamofo avugama atruma nehumpina atrua osu'naze? Na'ankure zamagra kora huvempa hu'za amanage hu'naze, Iza'o Ra Anumzamofonte'ma Mispama omesimofona ahe friho.
“Who, out of all the tribes of Israel, did not ascend with the army of the Lord?” For they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were at Mizpah, that whoever was not present would be slain.
6 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za nezamafunkura Benzameni nagara zamasunku hunezamante'za amanage hu'naze, menina Israeli vahepintira mago nagamo'a fanane hie.
And the sons of Israel, having been led to repentance over their brother Benjamin, began to say: “One tribe has been taken away from Israel.
7 Hagi tagra Ra Anumzamofonte huvempa huta mofa'netia ozamigosune huta hunonanki, inankna huta a'ne zamigura hakegahune?
From where shall they receive wives? For we have all sworn in common that we will not give our daughters to them.”
8 Hagi amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahepintira ina naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga Mispa kumatera ome'naze? Hagi keho Jabes-Gileatitira mago vahera Ra Anumzamofo avuga ome'ne.
For this reason, they said, “Who is there, out of all the tribes of Israel, that did not ascend to the Lord at Mizpah?” And behold, the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead were found not to have been among that army.
9 Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama vahe'ma hamprizafina Jabes-Giliati vahera ana zupa omani'naze.
(Likewise, in the time when they had been at Shiloh, not one of them was found to be there.)
10 Hagi e'ina hu'nazagu koro osu'za hanaveti'za ha'ma nehaza vahera, Israeli vahe'mo'za 12tauseni'a hunezamante'za amanage hu'naze, vuta Jabes-Giliati kumate vahera maka a' mofavre'zamine zamahe hana hiho.
And so they sent ten thousand very robust men, and they instructed them, saying, “Go and strike down the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, including their wives and little ones.”
11 Hagi tamagra amanahu hugahaze, maka vene'nene, vene'nenema mase'nesia a'nenena zamahehna hiho.
And this shall be what you ought to do: “Every one of the male gender, as well as all the women who have known men, shall be put to death. But the virgins you shall reserve.”
12 Hagi Jabes-Gileati vahepintira 400'a venema omase mofa'neramina hake'za zamavare'za seli noma ki'za mani'naza kumate Kenani mopafi Sailo e'naze.
And four hundred virgins, who had not known the bed of a man, were found from Jabesh-Gilead. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan.
13 Hagi ana'ma hazage'za maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni naga'ma Rimoni havekampima fraki'zama mani'naza nagatega kea atre'za amanage hu'naze, Menina tamagri'enena hara osuta fru huta manigahune hu'za hu'naze.
And they sent messengers to the sons of Benjamin, who were at the rock of Rimmon, and they instructed them, so that they would receive them in peace.
14 Hagi anagema hazage'za Benzameni naga'mo'za kuma'zmirega ete vazage'za Jabes-Giliatiti'ma zmavre'naza a'nea zami'naze. Hianagi ana maka vene'nemo'za ana a'nea erizamentera osu'nazanki mago'amo'a amne mani'ne.
And the sons of Benjamin went, at that time, and wives were given to them from the daughters of Jabesh-Gilead. But others were not found, whom they might give in a similar manner.
15 Hagi Benzameni nagakura Israeli vahe'mo'za zamasunku hu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli vahepina Ra Anumzamo'a zamatrege'za fanane hazageno kankamu fore hu'ne.
And all of Israel was very saddened, and they did penance for destroying one tribe out of Israel.
16 Hagi anante Israeli kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Benzameni nagapintira ko a'nezmia zamahe hana hu'nonanki, a'ma e'ori'naza vene'neramina igati a'neramina haketa avrezamigahune?
And those greater by birth said: “What shall we do with the remainder, those who have not received wives? For all the females of Benjamin have been cut down,
17 Hagi amanage hu'naze, Zamahe hanama hunke'zama osi'ama maniza Benjamen naga'mo'za mofavre ante'nageno Israeli vahepintira zamagia fanane osanie.
and we must take great care, and make provision with a very great diligence, so that one tribe may not be wiped away from Israel.
18 Hianagi mofa'netia zaminunke'za ara e'origosaze. Na'ankure ko Israeli vahe'mo'za huvempa hu'za Benzameni nagara mofatia ozamigosune hu'naze. Hagi iza'oma mofa'ama amisimofona Anumzamo'a kazusi huntegahie hu'za nehu'za,
As for our own daughters, we are not able to give them, being bound by an oath and a curse, when we said, ‘Accursed is he who will give any of his daughters to Benjamin as a wife.’”
19 amanage hu'naze, Keho maka kafumofona Sailo kumatera Ra Anumzamofoma musema hunteno ne'zama kreno nekna etere nehie. Hagi ana kumara Beteli kuma'mofo noti kaziga megeno, Betelitima marerino Sekemuma vu'nea kamofona zage hanati kaziga megeno, Lebona kuma'mofona sauti kaziga me'ne.
And they took counsel, and they said, “Behold, there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord at Shiloh, which is situated to the north of the city of Bethel, and on the eastern side of the way that one takes from Bethel to Shechem, and to the south of the town of Lebonah.”
20 Hagi anage hu'za Benzameni naga'ma a'ma e'ori'naza nagakura huzmante'naze, Vuta waini hozafi kafona ome anteta,
And they instructed the sons of Benjamin, and they said: “Go, and hide in the vineyards.
21 mani'neta negenkeno Sailo kumateti'ma avoma renaku'ma atirami'za e'naza mofa'neramina fraki'nesafintira ame huta atiramita zamavazu huta freta kumatmirega eta ara emeri zamanteho.
And when you will have seen daughters of Shiloh being led out to dance, according to custom, go forth suddenly from the vineyards, and let each one seize one wife from among them, and travel into the land of Benjamin.
22 Hagi anama hanageno'ma zamafahe'zane zamaserahe'zanema tagrite'ma e'za fragema hanageta, amanage huta zamasamigahune. Muse huramantonanki tamasunku hunezamanteta zamatrenke'za ara zamavareho. Na'ankure Jabes-Giliati vahe'ma zamaheta a'nema avre zamunana erizamentera huvaga ore'naze. Hianagi ana mofa'nea tamagra'a ozami'nazankita huvempama hu'naza zantera knazana e'origahaze.
And when their fathers and brothers arrive, and they begin to complain against you and to argue, we will say to them: ‘Take pity on them. For they have not seized them by right of war or conquest. Instead, begging to receive them, you did not give them, and so the sin was on your part.’”
23 Anage hazage'za Benjamen naga'mo'za anama zamasamizaza hu'za avoma renakuma Sailo kumapinti'ma atirami'za aza mofa'nea zamavare'za fre'za erisantima hare'naza mopazmirega vu'za ara omeri zamante'za havizama hu'nea kumazmia omeri so'e hutere hu'za ki'za mani'naze.
And so the sons of Benjamin did just as they had been ordered. And according to their number, they seized for themselves one wife each, out of those who were led out dancing. And they went into their own possession, and they built up their cities, and they lived in them.
24 Hagi ana knazupa Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kumara atre'za erisantima hare'naza mopazmirega, naga nofi zamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
The sons of Israel also returned, according to their tribes and families, to their tents.
25 Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mokizmia kinia omani'neanki'za, mago'mago'mo'a kegeno'ma avure'ma knare'ma hiazana hutere hu'ne.
In those days, there was no king in Israel. Instead, each one did what seemed right to himself.
