Mwet Nununku 20
1 Mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk Dan me layen nu eir, nwe Beersheba layen nu epang, oayapa Gilead layen nu kutulap, elos fahsreni fal nu ke pang nu selos. Elos toeni nu sie ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah.
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
2 Mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel elos wi toeni se inge. Pisen mukul wo matwa nu ke mweun sun mwet angfoko tausin.
The leaders of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.
3 In pacl se inge mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos lohngak lah mwet Israel nukewa saya elos oru tukeni se inge in acn Mizpah. Na mwet Israel elos siyuk, “Fahkma lah fuka nwe ma koluk lulap se inge sikyak?”
(Now the people of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?"
4 Na mwet Levi se ma anwuki mutan kulansap kia el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac mutan kulansap kiuk ah som in tuh motulla in acn Gibeah, yen sin sruf lal Benjamin.
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my secondary wife, to spend the night.
5 Mukul in acn Gibeah elos tuku in tuh sruokyuwi, ac elos kuhlasla lohm sac in fong sac. Elos tuh nunku in uniyuwi, tuh pa elos sruokya mutan kulansap se kiuk ah, ac akkolukyal nwe el misa.
And the leaders of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my secondary wife, and she is dead.
6 Na nga eis manol, ac sipikya nu ke ip singoul luo, ac supwalik kais sie ip nu sin sruf lun Israel. Mwet Gibeah inge elos orala ma koluk na fohkfok se inmasrlosr.
I took my secondary wife, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed wickedness and disgrace in Israel.
7 Kowos nukewa ma toeni inge, kowos mwet Israel. Mea kut ac oru ke ma se inge uh?”
Look, you children of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."
8 Na mwet nukewa elos tukeni tuyak ac fahk, “Wangin sie sesr ac folokla nu lohm sel ah, finne elos su muta in lohm nuknuk ku elos su muta in lohm na pwaye.
All the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us return to his house.
9 Pa inge ma kut ac oru uh: kut ac fah susfa, ac sulela kutu sesr in som mweuni acn Gibeah.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
10 Sie tafu singoul sin mwet Israel ac fah fosrngakin mongo nun mwet mweun, ac mwet lula nukewa ac fah som mweuni acn Gibeah ke sripen ouiya koluk se elos orala in Israel inge.”
and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, those setting forth, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin they may repay all the disgrace that they have committed in Israel."
11 Ke ma inge mukul nukewa in acn Israel elos nunak sefanna in mweuni acn we.
So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.
12 Mwet in sruf lun Israel elos supwalik mwet in utuk kas nu in acn lun sruf lal Benjamin nufon ac fahk, “Ma koluk fuka se kowos orala inge?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What wickedness is this that has happened among you?
13 Fuhlema mwet ma oru ma koluk se in acn Gibeah inge nu sesr tuh kut in onelosla, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki acn Israel.” Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tiana lohang nu ke mwet Israel wialos.
Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
14 Ouinge mwet in siti nukewa in acn Benjamin elos fahsreni nu Gibeah ac akola in mweun lain mwet wialos in sruf lun Israel.
The people of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 In len sac mwet Benjamin elos pangon tausin longoul onkosr mwet mweun liki siti nukewa, in weang mwet Gibeah.
The people of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Inmasrlon mwet inge nukewa oasr mwet itfoko selos solla, ac mwet inge nukewa mwet lasa. Kais sie selos arulana oalel. Finne aunsuf soko, tia ku in oalla.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair and not miss.
17 Mwet Israel nukewa, sayen mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, elos solani angfoko tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun.
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Mwet Israel elos som nu ke acn in alu lalos in acn Bethel, ac elos siyuk sin God, “Su sin sruf inge fal in som meet in lain mwet Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sruf lal Judah.”
The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, "Who shall go up for us first to battle against the people of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah will go up first."
19 Ouinge mwet Israel elos mukuiyak som ke lutu tok ah, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos apkuran nu ke siti Gibeah.
The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and camped against Gibeah.
20 Elos som in lain mwet mweun lun Benjamin, ac oakiya solse lalos in acn ma ngetang nu ke siti ah.
The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21 Mwet mweun lun mwet Benjamin elos oatula liki siti selos, ac elos uniya mwet mweun longoul luo tausin sin mwet Israel meet liki fongeni.
The people of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 Na mwet Israel elos folokla nu ke acn in alu lalos, ac tung mwemelil ye mutun LEUM GOD nwe ke ekela. Elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal kut in sifil mweuni mwet wiasr in sruf lal Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Aok.”
The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
23 Ouinge kui nunkalos mwet mweun lun Israel, ac elos sifil oakiya solse lalos yen na elos tuh tu we ke len meet ah.
The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, "Shall I again draw near to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother?" The LORD said, "Go up against him."
24 Ac elos sifilpa som lain mwet mweun Benjamin pacl se akluo.
The children of Israel came near against the people of Benjamin the second day.
25 Ac mwet Benjamin elos sifilpa oatula liki Gibeah pacl se akluo, ac onela tausin singoul oalkosr sin mwet pisrla ke mweun lun mwet Israel.
Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
26 Na mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu Bethel ac tung mwemelil. Elos muta we ye mutun LEUM GOD ac elos tia mongo nwe ke ekela. Ac elos kisakin mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa firir ye mutun LEUM GOD.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Ac mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD (tuh Tuptup in Wuleang lun God oan in acn Bethel in pacl sac,
The children of Israel asked of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 ac Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar su ma natul Aaron, pa karingin tuptup sac in pacl sac.) Na mwet elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal kut in sifil som lain mwet Benjamin wiasr, ku kut ac tia som?” Ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Kowos som. Lutu nga ac sot kutangla nu suwos.”
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the people of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?" The LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand."
29 Ouinge mwet Israel elos okanla kutu solse lalos ac raunela acn Gibeah.
Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
30 Pacl se inge len se aktolu elos som in lain mwet mweun Benjamin, ac elos oakiya solse lalos ke acn ma oan ngetang nu Gibeah, oana ke elos oru meet ah.
The children of Israel went up against the people of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 Mwet Benjamin sifilpa oatula in mweun, ac som loesla liki siti selos. Elos mutawauk in onela kutu sin mwet Israel ah yen tupasrpasr ke inkanek nu Bethel, oayapa ke inkanek nu Gibeah, oana elos tuh oru ke len meet ah. Elos uniya akuran mwet tolngoul sin mwet Israel.
The people of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill some of the people, as at other times, on the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 Na mwet Benjamin elos fahk, “Kut sifilpa kutangulosla oana meet ah.” Tusruktu mwet Israel elos oru pwapa lukma se tuh elos in folok nu tok in pwanma mwet Benjamin liki siti selos ah nu ke inkanek uh.
The people of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as previously." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways."
33 Ouinge ke inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli ac sifil tukeni in acn Baaltamar, mwet Israel ma raunela acn Gibeah elos tuku liki in eot uh, yen elos wikwik we.
All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. And the men of Israel in ambush rushed out of their place west of Geba.
34 Mwet Israel singoul tausin su pisrla ke mweun elos mweuni acn Gibeah, ac upana mweun lalos we. Mwet Benjamin elos tiana akilen lah ac kunausyukla elos.
There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn't know that disaster was close upon them.
35 LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin mwet Israel fin mwet Benjamin. Mwet Israel elos uniya longoul limekosr tausin siofok sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke len sac.
The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all armed with swords.
36 Ouinge mwet Benjamin elos akilenak lah kutangyukla elos. Inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli nu tok liki mwet Benjamin, mweyen elos lulalfongi solse ma elos okanla raunela acn Gibeah.
So the people of Benjamin saw that they were defeated; for the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 Mwet inge elos sulaklak na yuyang nu in acn Gibeah; elos fahsrelik nu in siti sac ac uniya mwet nukewa su muta we.
The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Oasr akul se ma inkaiyen mwet Israel ac mwet ma wikla elos tukeni aetui kac. Pa inge — ke pacl se elos ac liye kulasr lulap fosryak liki siti sac,
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 na mwet Israel ma kohlol nu tok acn elos mweun we ah, elos ac forla. Ke pacl se inge mwet Benjamin elos onela tari mwet solse tolngoul lun mwet Israel, na elos fahk nu selos sifacna mu, “Kut sifilpa onelosla oana ke kut oru meet ah.”
The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."
40 Na ke pacl se inge akul sac sikyak — fosr se fosryak liki siti sac. Mwet Benjamin elos tapulla ac arulana lut ke elos liye siti nufon sac firiryak.
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and look, the whole city went up in smoke into the sky.
41 Na mwet Israel elos forla, ac mwet Benjamin arulana fosrngala mweyen elos akilenak lah elos ac kutangyukla.
The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
42 Elos kaing liki mwet Israel ac srike in sun acn turangang, tusruk elos tia ku in kaingla. Sruhu elos inmasrlon un mwet mweun lulap lun mwet Israel ac elos su tuku liki siti ah me, ac kunausyukla elos.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in its midst.
43 Mwet Israel elos kosrala mwet lokoalok lalos inge, ac ukwalos nwe in acn se layen nu kutulap in Gibeah, ac elos uni na mwet uh ke inkanek lalos.
They surrounded Benjamin, and they pursued them from Nohah and overtook them near Gibeah toward the east.
44 Singoul oalkosr tausin sin mwet fo ke mweun sin mwet Benjamin anwuki ke len se inge.
There fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
45 Ac mwet lula ah elos forla ac kaing nu yen turangang, nwe ke eot se pangpang Eot Rimmon. Limekosr tausin selos anwukla inkanek uh. Na mwet Israel elos ukwe pac mwet lula ah nwe Gidom, ac elos uniya pac luo tausin selos we.
They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they killed on the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck down two thousand men.
46 Toeni nufon mwet misa inge, oasr tausin longoul limekosr mwet Benjamin pa anwuki ke len sac — elos nukewa mwet mweun na pulaik.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand swordsmen; all these were valiant fighters.
47 Tusruktu onfoko selos tuh kaingla nu ke Eot Rimmon yen turangang, ac tia wi anwuki. Na elos muta we malem akosr.
But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48 Mwet Israel elos forla ac onela nufon mwet lula sin mwet Benjamin, mwet mukul, mutan, tulik ac oayapa kosro natulos. Elos esukak siti srisrik nukewa in polo acn sac.
The men of Israel turned again on the people of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
