Jasi Vahere 9
1 Hagi mago kna Gidioni nemofo Abimeleki'a anokahe'mofo ome zamagenaku Sekemu vuno, amanage huno anokahemofone nerera naga'enena zamasami'ne.
Now Abimelech son of Jerubbaal went to his mother’s brothers at Shechem and said to them and to all the clan of his mother,
2 Mika Sekemu kumate kva vahetamima mani'naza vahe'motafi ama nanekea nehue, Gidionina ana mika 70'a mofavre'aramimo kegava huramante'nie nehazafi, magokemo kegava huramantenigeno knarera hugahie huta nehaze? Tamagra tamagesa antahiho, nagara tamagri kora mani'noe.
“Please ask all the leaders of Shechem, ‘Is it better for you that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or just one man?’ Remember that I am your own flesh and blood.”
3 E'inage hige'za Abimeleki anokahemo'za agri agi eri'za maka Sekemu kumapima mani'naza vahetega kea atrazageno vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi ana kumapi vahe'mo'zama ana nanekema nentahiza Abimeleki'a tagri kora mani'ne nehu'za agri kaziga mani'naze.
And when his mother’s brothers spoke all these words about him in the presence of all the leaders of Shechem, their hearts were inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, “He is our brother.”
4 Anama nehu'za Bal-Berit havi anumzamofo mono nompintira 70'a silva zago Abimelekina erimi'naze. Hagi ana zagoa Abimeleki'a erino hazenke vahetami mi'za huzmanteno zamavarege'za agri amage ante'za avariri'za vu'naze.
So they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech hired some worthless and reckless men to follow him.
5 Hagi Abimeleki'a nefa kumate Ofra vuno 70'a Jerubali ne' mofavre zagaramina magoke have agofetu ome zamahe'ne. Hianagi amite'na ne'amo Jotamu'a koro freno ome fraki'ne.
He went to his father’s house in Ophrah, and on one stone murdered his seventy brothers, the sons of Jerubbaal. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, survived, because he hid himself.
6 Hagi anama higeno'a Sekemu kumateti'ene Beth-Milo kumateti kva vahe'mo'za Sekemu kumate vu'za, oki zafa agafare'ma zafa retruma rente'ne'za mono'ma hunentazare omeri atru hute'za, Abimelekina kinia azeri oti'naze.
Then all the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo gathered beside the oak at the pillar in Shechem and proceeded to make Abimelech their king.
7 Hagi Jotamu'ma anazama haza zmagenkema nentahino'a, Gerisimi agonare marerino amanage huno kezana ati'ne. Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mota keni'a antahiho. Anumzamo'ma ketimima antahinie hanuta nagri kea antahiho.
When this was reported to Jotham, he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim, raised his voice, and cried out: “Listen to me, O leaders of Shechem, and may God listen to you.
8 Hagi mago zupa zafamo'za kinizmi azeri otinaku amanage hu'naze. Olivi zafamoka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto hu'za hu'naze!
One day the trees set out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
9 Hianagi olivi zafamo'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra olivi masavema tro'ma hute'na Anumzane vahe'mokizmi nezamuge'za musema nehaza eri'zana atre'na amne oti'nena, vuge ege nehu'na zafamota naza atrezamante vava hanuo?
But the olive tree replied, ‘Should I stop giving my oil that honors both God and man, to hold sway over the trees?’
10 Anagema hige'za zafamo'za amanage hu'za fiki zafagura hu'naze, Kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and reign over us.’
11 Hianagi fiki zafamo'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Nagra haganentake zafaragama renentoa eri'zana atre'na amne oti'nena vuge ege nehu'na, zafamota nazana atreramante vava hanuo?
But the fig tree replied, ‘Should I stop giving my sweetness and my good fruit, to hold sway over the trees?’
12 Hige'za zafamo'za amanage hu'za waini nofikura hu'naze, Waini nofi'moka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
Then the trees said to the grapevine, ‘Come and reign over us.’
13 Hianagi waini nofi'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra kasefa waini rgama trohu'na Anumzane vahe'mofonema nezamua eri'za atre'na amne oti'nena vuge ege nehu'na, naza atreramante vava hanuo?
But the grapevine replied, ‘Should I stop giving my wine that cheers both God and man, to hold sway over the trees?’
14 Hagi anagema hige'za ave'ave nofikura amanage hu'naze, Ave'ave nofimoka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘Come and reign over us.’
15 Anage'ma hu'za antahigazageno'a, ave'ave nofi'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Tamagema huta tamagu'areti'ma kinima nazeri otisuta, eta nagri turunampinka emaniho. Hagi ana'ma osanazana ana ave'ave trazampinti tevemo'a eno Lebanoni sida zafaramina teno erihana hugahie!
But the thornbush replied, ‘If you really are anointing me as king over you, come and find refuge in my shade. But if not, may fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon.’
16 Anante Jotamu'a mago'ane amanage huno hu'ne, Abimelekima kinima azeri oti'zana tamagra knare'za huta azeri onetizo? Hagi Jerubali'ene naga'amo'zanena tamagrira knare'za hu'za tamaza hu'nazanagi, tamagra knare'za huntazafi haviza huntaze?
Now if you have acted faithfully and honestly in making Abimelech king, if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family, and if you have done to him as he deserves—
17 Na'ankure nenfa Jerubali'a agra avufgagura ontahi hara huno Midieni vahe zamazampinti tamagu'vazi'ne.
for my father fought for you and risked his life to deliver you from the hand of Midian,
18 Hianagi menina nenfane naga'anena hara rezamanteta 70'a ne' mofavreramima'a magoke have agofetu zamahe vagare'naze. Ana nehuta eri'za a'amofo mofavrea Abimelekina Sekemu kinia azeri oti'naze. Na'ankure agra tamagripinti fore hu'negu anara hu'naze.
but you have risen up against my father’s house this day and killed his seventy sons on a single stone, and you have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the leaders of Shechem because he is your brother—
19 Hagi menima tamagrama haza avu'avamo'a Jerubaline naga'are'enema knare'ma huno fatgoma hu'ne'nigeta, Abimeleki'enena musena nehinkeno, agra'enena musena tamagri'enena hino.
if you have acted faithfully and honestly toward Jerubbaal and his house this day, then may you rejoice in Abimelech, and he in you.
20 Hianagi tamagrama knare huno fatgo osu' avu'ava'ma hu'nena zana Abimelekimpinti tevemo'a atiramino Sekemu kumate kva vahe'ene Bet-Milo kumate kva vahetmina tehana nehanigeno, Sekemu kumate kva vahe'tamimpinti'ene Bet-Milo kumate kva vahepinti tevemo'a atiramino Abimelekina tegahie.
But if not, may fire come from Abimelech and consume the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo, and may fire come from the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo and consume Abimelech.”
21 Hagi Jotamu'ma anagema huteno'a, koro freno Beri kumate umani'ne. Na'ankure Abimeleki'ma ahezanku koro freno vu'ne.
Then Jotham ran away, escaping to Beer, and he lived there for fear of his brother Abimelech.
22 Ana'ma hutegeno'a Abimeleki'a 3'a kafu Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne.
After Abimelech had reigned over Israel for three years,
23 Hagi Anumzamo'a havi avamu huntegeno Abimelekine Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mofo amu'nompi emaninege'za, Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Abimelekina azeri amuho hu'naze.
God sent a spirit of animosity between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem and caused them to treat Abimelech deceitfully,
24 Anumzamo'a knazana atregeno Abimelekinte'ene Sekemu kumate kva vahetaminte'ene e'ne. Na'ankure Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Abimelekina aza hazageno, Gidionina afuhe'ima 70'a ne'mofavre'zaga zamahenegu anara hu'ne.
in order that the crime against the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come to justice and their blood be avenged on their brother Abimelech and on the leaders of Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers.
25 Hagi Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za mago'a vahera agonafi Abimelekima esigura kankafo ome ante'za mani'ne'za, ami'mi hu'za kante'ma enevaza vahera keonkezazmi zamahe'za hanare'naze. Hianagi anazama haza nanekea Abimelekina eme asami'naze.
The leaders of Shechem set up an ambush against Abimelech on the hilltops, and they robbed all who passed by them on the road. So this was reported to Abimelech.
26 Hagi mago zupa Ebedi nemofo Gali'a afu'aganahe'zane Sekemu kumate vu'ne. E'inama higeno'a Sekemu kumate kva vahe'mo'za Galina antahimi'za amage ante'naze.
Meanwhile, Gaal son of Ebed came with his brothers and crossed into Shechem, and the leaders of Shechem put their confidence in him.
27 Hagi ne'zama vasage knare'ma musema hu knafina Sekemu vahe'mo'za waini raga tagi'za rerati'za tima'a eri'za havi anumzazmimofo mono nompi vu'za, ana tine ne'zanena nene'za Abimelekina huhaviza hunte'naze.
And after they had gone out into the fields, gathered grapes from their vineyards, and trodden them, they held a festival and went into the house of their god; and as they ate and drank, they cursed Abimelech.
28 Hagi Ebedi nemofo Gali'a amanage hu'ne, Sekemu vahera Hamori tazeri fore hu'ne. Hagi Abimeleki'a agra inanknahu ne' mani'nesigeta tagra Sekemu vahe'mota agri kvafina manigahune? Hagi Abimeleki'a Jeru-Bali nemofo manigeno eri'za vahe'a Zebuli mani'ne. Tagra Sekemu kumamofo nefa, Hamori mofavrerami mani'nonanki, nagafare Abimeleki eri'za vahera manigahune?
Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? You are to serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. Why should we serve Abimelech?
29 Hagi nagrama ama Sekemu vahe'ma kegavama huresina Abimelekina ahe kasonepe'na amanage hu'na huntegahue, sondia vaheka'a ome avrenka ha' eme hunanto hu'na huresine.
If only this people were under my authority, I would remove Abimelech; I would say to him, ‘Muster your army and come out!’”
30 Hianagi ana rankumate kva ne' Zebuli'ma, Ebedi nemofo Gali nanekema nentahino'a, tusi arimpa ahe'ne.
When Zebul the governor of the city heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he burned with anger.
31 Anama higeno'a eri'za vahe oku'a huzmantege'za vu'za anage hu'za Abimelekina ome asmi'naze, Ebedi nemofo Gali'a afu'aganahezane eno, Sekemu kumate vahera ha'huzamantenogu zamarimpa eme nere.
So he covertly sent messengers to Abimelech to say, “Look, Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem and are stirring up the city against you.
32 E'ina hu'negu sondia vaheka'ane kenage eta kankafona eme hu'nenkeno,
Now then, tonight you and the people with you are to come and lie in wait in the fields.
33 nanterama rumasama huno zagema hanati'nigeta tamagareta ana kumapina vinkeno, ana kumapinti vahe'ma ha'ma huramantenaku'ma esazana anante tamagrama tamagesama antahisaza zana hugahaze.
And in the morning at sunrise, get up and advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, do to them whatever you are able.”
34 Hagi Abimeleki'a ana kenageke sondia vahe'a 4'afi refko huno Sekemu kumara avazagigagi'ne.
So Abimelech and all his troops set out by night and lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.
35 Hagi nanterama Ebedi nemofo Galima kuma'mofo kahante uoma'netige'za, Abimeleki'ene sondia vahe'amo'zama fraki'nazafintira atre'za e'naze.
Now Gaal son of Ebed went out and stood at the entrance of the city gate just as Abimelech and his men came out from their hiding places.
36 Hagi Gali'ma ana vahe'tmima nezmageno'a Zebulinkura amanage hu'ne, Agonaregatira vahera eneramizanki ko. Anage'ma higeno'a Zebuli'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, amne agonaramimofo amema'aramimo vahe knara nehie.
When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the mountains!” But Zebul replied, “The shadows of the mountains look like men to you.”
37 Hianagi Gali'a mago'ane amanage huno hu'ne, agonaregatira vahe'tmi eneramizanki ko. Hagi mago'a vahera zamavune vahe'ma mani'ne'za henkama fore'ma hania zanku'ma, havi kasnampa kema nehaza oki zafa agafama me'nea kantegati neaze.
Then Gaal spoke up again, “Look, people are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming by way of the Diviners’ Oak.”
38 Anante Zebuli'a otino Galina amanage huno asami'ne, ina kagipinti kagra ama ana kea hu'nane. Iza'e Abimeleki'a, agra iza mani'nenige'na nagra agri eri'za vahera manigahue? E'inage hunka huhavizama hu'nana vaheki vunka hara ome huzamanto.
“Where is your gloating now?” Zebul replied. “You said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Are these not the people you ridiculed? Go out now and fight them!”
39 Hagi anagema higeno'a Gali'a Sekemu kumate vahera nezamavreno, agra vugota huno Abimeleki naga'enena hara ome hu'ne.
So Gaal went out before the leaders of Shechem and fought against Abimelech,
40 Hianagi Abimeleki sondia vahe'mo'za Galina arotago nehu'za, vahera ome zamahetre eme zamahetre hu'za rankumamofo kahante ehanati'naze.
but Abimelech pursued him, and Gaal fled before him. And many Shechemites fell wounded all the way to the entrance of the gate.
41 Ana huteno Abimeleki'a Aruma kumate umanigeno, Zebuli'a Galine afu'aganahe'ina zamahe kasopeno agra Sekemu kumatera umani'ne.
Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem.
42 Hagi hanima huno ko'matigeno'a, Sekemu kumate vahe'mo'za hozafi vu'naku atirami'za vazageno, Abimelekina mago'a vahe'mo'za ome asami'naze.
The next day the people of Shechem went out into the fields, and this was reported to Abimelech.
43 Abimeleki'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, 3'afi vahe'a refko huno kankafona ante'ne. Hagi Abimeleki'ma kegeno'ma ana ha' vahetmima kumapinti'ma atirami'za azageno'a, agrane naga'amo'zama framaki'nazafintira oti'za zamahe'naze.
So he took his men, divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose up against them and attacked them.
44 Hagi 3'a kevu vahepintira Abimeleki'a mago kevua avreno kuma'mofo kafante ome ankanire'za mani'nazageno, tare kevu vahe'mo'za megi'ama mani'naza ha' vahera zamahe vagare'naze.
Then Abimelech and the companies with him rushed forward and took their stand at the entrance of the city gate. The other two companies rushed against all who were in the fields and struck them down.
45 Hagi Abimeleki'a ana kumapi vahera ana zage ferupinke hara huno zamahe hana nehuno, ana kumara tapage huno eri pehe nehuno, hage atinteno vano hu'ne.
And all that day Abimelech fought against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he demolished the city and sowed it with salt.
46 Hagi zaza nompima mani'ne'za kuma kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mo'za Abimeleki'ma ha'ma eme huzamantea nanekema nentahi'za, ana nanteranke Bal-Beriti havi anumzamofo mono nomofo vihufi ufre'za mani'naze.
On hearing of this, all the leaders in the tower of Shechem entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith.
47 Ana'ma hazageno'a mago'a vahe'mo'za Abimelekina eme asami'za, Sekemu kumate'ma za'za nompima manine'za kuma'ma kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mo'za maka magopi eritru hu'za mani'naze hu'za asami'naze.
And when Abimelech was told that all the leaders in the tower of Shechem were gathered there,
48 Hagi Abimeleki'a sondia vahe'a zamavareno Zalmoni agonafi mareriteno, sa'ume erino zafa azankuna'aramina antagi atreno afunte e'nerino, zamavarenoma vu'nea vahetmina amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ame'ama huta amama huaza hiho.
he and all his men went up to Mount Zalmon. Abimelech took his axe in his hand and cut a branch from the trees, which he lifted to his shoulder, saying to his men, “Hurry and do what you have seen me do.”
49 Anagema higeno'a, ana maka vahe'mo'za ana zafa azankunatmina antagi'za Sekemu vahetmimofo vihurera retrure kagite'za teve tagintazageno ana vihufima mani'naza vahe'ene zaza nonte'ma kegavama nehaza vahetaminena miko 1tauseni'a venenene a'nenena fri'naze.
So each man also cut his own branch and followed Abimelech. Then they piled the branches against the inner chamber and set it on fire above them, killing everyone in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women.
50 Hagi anama huteno'a Abimeleki'a Tebezi kumate vuno ana kumapi vahera hara ome huzamanteno, ana kumara zamaheno hanare'ne.
Then Abimelech went to Thebez, encamped against it, and captured it.
51 Hianagi ana kumapi kva vahe'mo'za vihufinke ufrevagare'za ufraki'naze. Ana vihua zaza no ki'za mareri'naza nomofo agofetu fre'za umani'naze.
But there was a strong tower inside the city, and all the men, women, and leaders of the city fled there. They locked themselves in and went up to the roof of the tower.
52 Hagi Abimeleki'a ha' hunaku ana zaza nonte eno, ana nomofo kahante teve taginte'za nehigeno,
When Abimelech came to attack the tower, he approached its entrance to set it on fire.
53 mago a'mo'a witi neharaza havenkno atregeno tamino asenia ru prarovazino ahetre'ne.
But a woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.
54 Anama higeno'a Abimeleki'a amanage huno hanko'ama erinentea nehaza nera asami'ne, a'ne'mo ahe frine hu'za hanagi, ame hunka kazinka'a erinka nahe frio, huno higeno ana nehazamo'a kazi regeno fri'ne.
He quickly called his armor-bearer, saying, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” So Abimelech’s armor-bearer ran his sword through him, and he died.
55 Abimeleki'ma frige'za kazana hige'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za nozimirega vu'naze.
And when the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they all went home.
56 Hagi Abimeleki'ma kefo avu'ava'ma huno 70'a afu'aganahe'ima zamahe frino nefama agima eri haviza hu'nea zantera, e'ina hukna huno Anumzamo'a nona huno azeri havizana hu'ne.
In this way God repaid the wickedness that Abimelech had done to his father in murdering his seventy brothers.
57 Ana hukna huno Sekumu kumate vahe'mo'zama kefozama hu'naza zantera Anumzamo'a nona huzmante'ne. E'inama hu'neana Jerubali nemofo Jotamu'ma zamazeri haviza hu kasnampa ke'ma huno kazusima huzmante'nea zamo'a zamagrite efore hu'ne.
And God also brought all the wickedness of the men of Shechem back upon their own heads. So the curse of Jotham son of Jerubbaal came upon them.
