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, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem, to his maternal brothers, and he spoke to them, and to all the relatives of the house of his maternal grandfather, saying:
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.
“Speak to all the men of Shechem: Which is better for you: that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And consider also that I am your bone and your flesh.”
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 his maternal brothers spoke about him to all the men of Shechem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying, “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.
And they gave to him the weight of seventy silver coins from the shrine of Baal-berith. With this, he hired for himself indigent and wandering men, and they followed 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.
And he went to his father’s house in Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone. And there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, and he was in hiding.
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 men of Shechem gathered together, and all the families of the city of Millo, and they went and appointed Abimelech as king, beside the oak that stood at Shechem.
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 had been reported to Jotham, he went and stood at the top of Mount Gerizim. And lifting up his voice, he cried out and said: “Listen to me, men of Shechem, so that God may 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!
The trees went to anoint a king over themselves. And 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?
And it responded, ‘How could I abandon my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, and depart to be promoted among the trees?’
10 Anagema hige'za zafamo'za amanage hu'za fiki zafagura hu'naze, Kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
And the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and accept royal power 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?
And it responded to them, ‘How could I abandon my sweetness, and my very sweet fruits, and depart to be promoted among the other trees?’
12 Hige'za zafamo'za amanage hu'za waini nofikura hu'naze, Waini nofi'moka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
And the trees said to the vine, ‘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?
And it responded to them, ‘How could I abandon my wine, which gives joy to God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?’
14 Hagi anagema hige'za ave'ave nofikura amanage hu'naze, Ave'ave nofimoka kiniti mani'nenka kegava huranto!
And all the trees said to the bramble, ‘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!
And it responded to them: ‘If truly you would appoint me as king, come and rest under my shadow. But if you are not willing, let fire go forth from the bramble, and let it devour 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?
So now, if you are upright and without sin in appointing Abimelech as a king over you, and if you have acted well with Jerubbaal, and with his house, and if you have repaid, in turn, the benefits of him who fought on your behalf,
17 Na'ankure nenfa Jerubali'a agra avufgagura ontahi hara huno Midieni vahe zamazampinti tamagu'vazi'ne.
and who gave his life to dangers, so that he might rescue 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.
though you now have risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have appointed Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, as a king over the inhabitants of Shechem, since 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 therefore you are upright and have acted without fault with Jerubbaal and his house, then you should rejoice on this day in Abimelech, and he should rejoice 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 you have acted perversely, may fire go forth from him and consume the inhabitants of Shechem and the town of Millo. And may fire go forth from the men of Shechem and from the town of Millo, and devour Abimelech.”
21 Hagi Jotamu'ma anagema huteno'a, koro freno Beri kumate umani'ne. Na'ankure Abimeleki'ma ahezanku koro freno vu'ne.
And when he had said these things, he fled and went away to Beer. And he lived in that place, out of fear of Abimelech, his brother.
22 Ana'ma hutegeno'a Abimeleki'a 3'a kafu Israeli vahe kinia mani'ne.
And so Abimelech 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.
And the Lord put a very grievous spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Shechem, who began to detest him,
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.
and to place blame for the crime of the killing of the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for the shedding of their blood, upon Abimelech, their brother, and upon the rest of the leaders of the Shechemites, who assisted him.
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.
And they stationed an ambush against him at the summit of the mountains. And while they were waiting for his arrival, they committed robberies, taking spoils from those passing by. And 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.
Now Gaal, the son of Ebed, went with his brothers, and crossed over to Shechem. And the inhabitants of Shechem, uplifted by his arrival,
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.
departed into the fields, laying waste to the vineyards, and trampling the grapes. And while singing and dancing, they entered into the shrine of their god. And while feasting and drinking, 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?
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, cried out: “Who is Abimelech, and what is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, who has appointed Zebul, his servant, as ruler over the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him?
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.
I wish that someone would set this people under my hand, so that I might take away Abimelech from their midst.” And it was told to Abimelech, “Gather the multitude of an army, and approach.”
30 Hianagi ana rankumate kva ne' Zebuli'ma, Ebedi nemofo Gali nanekema nentahino'a, tusi arimpa ahe'ne.
For Zebul, the ruler of the city, upon hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Ebed, became very angry.
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.
And he sent messengers secretly to Abimelech, saying: “Behold, Gaal, the son of Ebed, has arrived at Shechem with his brothers, and he has set the city against you.
32 E'ina hu'negu sondia vaheka'ane kenage eta kankafona eme hu'nenkeno,
And so, rise up in the night, with the people who are with you, and lie hidden in the field.
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 at first light in the morning, as the sun is rising, rush upon the city. And when he goes out against you, with his people, do to him what you are able to do.”
34 Hagi Abimeleki'a ana kenageke sondia vahe'a 4'afi refko huno Sekemu kumara avazagigagi'ne.
And so Abimelech rose up, with all his army, by night, and he set ambushes near Shechem in four places.
35 Hagi nanterama Ebedi nemofo Galima kuma'mofo kahante uoma'netige'za, Abimeleki'ene sondia vahe'amo'zama fraki'nazafintira atre'za e'naze.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and he stood at the entrance to the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and all the army with him, from the places of the ambushes.
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.
And when Gaal had seen the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, a multitude is descending from the mountains.” And he responded to him, “You are seeing the shadows of the mountains, as if they were the heads of men, and so you are being deceived by this error.”
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.
Again, Gaal said, “Behold, a people is descending from the middle of the land, and one company is arriving by the way that looks towards the 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.
And Zebul said to him: “Where is your mouth now, with which you said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people that you were despising? Go out and fight against him.”
39 Hagi anagema higeno'a Gali'a Sekemu kumate vahera nezamavreno, agra vugota huno Abimeleki naga'enena hara ome hu'ne.
Therefore, Gaal went out, with the people of Shechem watching, and he 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.
who pursued him, fleeing, and drove him into the city. And many were cut down on his side, even to the gate of the city.
41 Ana huteno Abimeleki'a Aruma kumate umanigeno, Zebuli'a Galine afu'aganahe'ina zamahe kasopeno agra Sekemu kumatera umani'ne.
And Abimelech made camp at Arumah. But Zebul expelled Gaal and his companions from the city, and he would not permit them to remain in it.
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.
Therefore, on the following day, the people departed into the field. And when this had been 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.
he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and he placed ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people had departed from the city, he rose up and rushed upon 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.
along with his own company, assaulting and besieging the city. But the two other companies pursued the enemies scattered in the field.
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.
Now Abimelech assaulted the city all that day. And he seized it, and he killed its inhabitants, and he destroyed it, so much so that he scattered salt in it.
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.
And when those living in the tower of Shechem had heard about this, they entered the temple of their god, Berith, where they had formed a covenant with him. And it was because of this, that the place had taken its name. And it was greatly fortified.
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.
Abimelech, also hearing that the men of the tower of Shechem had joined together,
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.
ascended to mount Zalmon, with all his people. And taking an axe, he cut down the branch of a tree. And laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions, “What you see me do, you must do quickly.”
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.
And so, eagerly cutting down branches from the trees, they followed their leader. And surrounding the fortified place, they set it on fire. And so it happened that, by smoke and fire, one thousand persons died, men and women together, the occupants of the tower of Shechem.
50 Hagi anama huteno'a Abimeleki'a Tebezi kumate vuno ana kumapi vahera hara ome huzamanteno, ana kumara zamaheno hanare'ne.
Then Abimelech, setting out from there, arrived at the town of Thebez, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
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.
Now there was, in the midst of the city, a high tower, to which men and women were fleeing together, with all the leaders of the city. And, having very strongly sealed the gate, they were standing on the roof of the tower to defend themselves.
52 Hagi Abimeleki'a ha' hunaku ana zaza nonte eno, ana nomofo kahante teve taginte'za nehigeno,
And Abimelech, drawing near the tower, fought valiantly. And approaching the gate, he strove to set it on fire.
53 mago a'mo'a witi neharaza havenkno atregeno tamino asenia ru prarovazino ahetre'ne.
And behold, one woman, throwing a fragment of a millstone from above, struck the head of Abimelech, and broke 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.
And he quickly called to his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and strike me, otherwise it may be said that I was slain by a woman.” And, doing as he was ordered, he killed him.
55 Abimeleki'ma frige'za kazana hige'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za nozimirega vu'naze.
And when he was dead, all those of Israel who were with him returned to their homes.
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.
And so did God repay the evil that Abimelech had done against his father by killing 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.
The Shechemites also were given retribution for what they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, fell upon them.
