Bilombe 20
1 Bana nyonso ya Isalaele, wuta na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba mpe na mokili ya Galadi, babimaki lokola moto moko mpe basanganaki liboso ya Yawe, na Mitsipa.
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah.
2 Bakambi ya bato nyonso, ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kati na lisanga ya bato ya Nzambe: ezalaki na basoda nkoto nkama minei oyo batambolaka na makolo mpe bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
And the chiefs 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 that drew sword.
3 Bana ya libota ya Benjame bayokaki ete bana ya Isalaele mosusu bakendeki kuna na Mitsipa. Bongo bana ya Isalaele balobaki: — Yebisa biso ndenge nini kufa ya somo boye esalemaki.
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?
4 Molevi, mobali ya mwasi oyo babomaki, alobaki: — Ngai mpe makangu na ngai, toyaki na Gibea, na mokili ya Benjame mpo na kolekisa butu.
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 Na kati-kati ya butu, bavandi ya Gibea batombokelaki ngai mpe bazingelaki ndako mpo ete baboma ngai; basangisaki nzoto na makasi na makangu na ngai, mpe akufaki.
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.
6 Nakamataki makangu na ngai, nakataki ye na biteni mpe natindaki eteni moko na moko kati na etuka oyo bapesaki na bana ya Isalaele, pamba te bato ya libota ya Benjame basalaki likambo ya somo mpe ya soni.
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
7 Sik’oyo, bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, boloba mpe bokata likambo oyo.
Behold, ye children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.
8 Bato nyonso batelemaki lokola moto moko mpe balobaki: « Moto moko te kati na biso akozonga na ndako na ye ya kapo to na ndako na ye.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house.
9 Tala sik’oyo likambo oyo tokosala bato ya Gibea: Tokokende kobundisa bango kolanda ndenge zeke oyo tokobeta ekotalisa.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; [we will go up] against it by lot;
10 Tokozwa bato zomi kati na bato nkama moko ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, tokozwa bato nkama moko kati na bato nkoto moko mpe bato nkoto moko kati na bato nkoto zomi, mpo na kopesa biloko ya kolia epai ya mampinga. Bongo tango mampinga ekokoma na Gibea, na mokili ya Benjame, bakobundisa bato ya Gibea mpo na makambo nyonso ya somo oyo basalaki kati na Isalaele. »
and we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Boye, mibali nyonso ya Isalaele basanganaki esika moko mpe bayokanaki lokola moto moko mpo na kobundisa engumba Gibea.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 Bato ya bikolo ya Isalaele batindaki mibali kati na mabota nyonso ya Benjame mpe balobaki: « Ndenge nini bosali lisumu ya somo boye kati na bino?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?
13 Sik’oyo, botindela biso bato mabe wana ya Gibea mpo ete toboma bango mpe tolongola mabe kati na Isalaele. » Kasi bato ya Benjame baboyaki koyokela baninga na bango, bana ya Isalaele.
Now therefore deliver up the men, the sons of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 Wuta na bingumba na bango nyonso ya mike, bato ya libota ya Benjame basanganaki esika moko, na Gibea, mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 Na mokolo wana, bato ya libota ya Benjame basangisaki basoda nkoto tuku mibale na motoba oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga, wuta na bamboka na bango nyonso ya mike, longola kaka engumba Gibea oyo esangisaki mibali ya bitumba nkama sambo.
And the children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Kati na basoda wana, ezalaki na mibali nkama sambo ya makasi oyo basalelaka loboko ya mwasi. Moto moko na moko kati na bango, soki abwaki libanga na nzela ya ebambelo mabanga, ekoki soki moke te kozanga kotuta suki moko.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair-breadth, and not miss.
17 Mibali ya Isalaele, longola kaka bato ya libota ya Benjame, bazalaki nkoto nkama minei, ba-oyo bayebi kosalela mopanga; mpe bango nyonso bazalaki bato ya bitumba.
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na Beteli mpe batunaki Nzambe: — Nani kati na biso asengeli kokende mpo na kobundisa libota ya Benjame? Yawe azongisaki: — Yuda akokende liboso.
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first.
19 Na tongo oyo elandaki, bana ya Isalaele bakendeki mpe batongaki molako na bango pembeni ya Gibea.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Mibali ya Isalaele babimaki mpo na kobundisa bato ya libota ya Benjame mpe bamibongisaki mpo na kobundisa bango na Gibea.
And 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 Bato ya libota ya Benjame babimaki na Gibea mpe babomaki, mokolo wana, mibali ya Isalaele nkoto tuku mibale na mibale.
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
22 Kasi mibali ya Isalaele bamilendisaki, bango na bango, mpe babongamaki na esika oyo bazalaki na mokolo ya liboso.
And 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 Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki mpe balelaki liboso ya Yawe kino na pokwa, mpe batunaki Yawe: — Boni, tokende lisusu kobundisa bandeko na biso ya libota ya Benjame? Yawe azongiselaki bango: — Bokende kobundisa bango.
(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying, Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
24 Na mokolo ya mibale, bana ya Isalaele babundisaki bato ya libota ya Benjame.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 Na tango wana, bana ya libota ya Benjame bakimaki na Gibea mpo na kobundisa bana ya Isalaele, babomaki lisusu mibali ya Isalaele nkoto zomi na mwambe; bango nyonso bazalaki bato oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
And 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 Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki, bango nyonso, na Beteli, mpe kuna, bavandaki mpe balelaki liboso ya Yawe. Na mokolo wana, bana ya Isalaele bakilaki bilei kino na pokwa mpe babonzaki, epai na Yawe, mbeka ya kotumba mpe mbeka ya boyokani.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Bana ya Isalaele batunaki Yawe. (Na mikolo wana, Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe ezalaki kuna.
And the children of Israel asked of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 Pineasi, mwana mobali ya Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Aron, azalaki na mosala liboso ya Sanduku). Batunaki: — Boni, tokende lisusu kobundisa bandeko na biso, bato ya libota ya Benjame to te? Yawe azongisaki: — Bokende, pamba te, lobi, nakokaba bango na maboko na bino.
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into thine hand.
29 Bongo mibali ya Isalaele babombamaki mpe bazingelaki Gibea.
And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah round about.
30 Bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na mokolo ya misato kobundisa libota ya Benjame mpe bamibongisaki malamu mpo na kobundisa Gibea lokola na mbala ya liboso.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 Bana ya Benjame babimelaki bango mpe babendaki bango mosika ya engumba. Babandaki koboma bana ya Isalaele ndenge basalaki liboso; babomaki bato pene tuku misato kati na zamba, na nzela ya Beteli mpe ya Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 Libota ya Benjame bakanisaki ete bakobeta bango ndenge basalaki liboso. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bazwaki mokano ya kokima mpe ya komema bango mosika ya engumba, mosika ya Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us rise, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.
33 Na bongo, bana ya Isalaele batelemaki na bisika na bango mpe bakendeki kosangana mpo na bitumba, na Bala-Tamari. Bana ya Isalaele, oyo babombamaki, babimaki na bisika na bango mpe balandaki bango na etando ya polele, na Gibea.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
34 Mibali makasi ya Isalaele, nkoto zomi, babimaki na Gibea; mpe bitumba ezalaki makasi. Kasi bana ya libota ya Benjame basosolaki te mabe nini ekokomela bango.
And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
35 Yawe abetaki bana ya Benjame liboso ya Isalaele, mpe, na mokolo wana, bana ya Isalaele babomaki mibali nkoto tuku mibale na nkama moko kati na libota ya Benjame, ba-oyo bayebi kobunda na mopanga.
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 Bongo bana ya Benjame bamonaki ete bakweyi penza na bitumba. Nzokande bana ya Isalaele bakosaki kozonga sima mpo ete batiaki elikya na bango epai ya mibali oyo babombamaki pene ya Gibea.
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set against Gibeah.
37 Mibali yango babimelaki mbala moko Gibea, bapanzanaki mpe babetaki engumba mobimba na mopanga.
And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Mibali ya Isalaele mpe bandeko na bango, oyo babombamaki pene ya Gibea, bayokanaki na elembo moko: mibali oyo babombamaki basengeli komatisa wuta na engumba lipata ya milinga na likolo.
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 Tango bana ya Isalaele bamonaki lipata wana ya milinga, bapesaki mokongo na bitumba. Kasi mibali ya Benjame babandaki kobeta mpe koboma bana ya Isalaele pene tuku misato. Bakanisaki ete bakobeta bango ndenge basalaki liboso.
And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.:
40 Kasi tango lipata ya milinga ebandaki komata makasi na likolo, bana ya Benjame babalukaki mpe bamonaki engumba na bango mobimba kopela moto mpe komatisa likonzi monene ya lipata ya milinga.
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up [in smoke] to heaven.
41 Bana ya Isalaele babalolaki elongi na bango mpo na kotala mibali ya Benjame. Bongo mibali ya Benjame babangaki mpo ete bamonaki likama oyo ekomeli bango.
And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
42 Boye, bapesaki bana ya Isalaele mokongo mpe bakimaki na nzela ya esobe. Kasi bitumba elandaki bango, mpe mibali ya Isalaele, oyo babimaki na engumba Gibea, basilisaki koboma bango nyonso na nzela na bango.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they which came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof.
43 Bazingelaki bana ya Benjame, balandaki bango na kozanga kopema mpe banyataki bango na makolo kino liboso ya Gibea, na ngambo oyo moyi ebimelaka.
They enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down at [their] resting place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
44 Kati na bana ya Benjame, mibali nkoto zomi na mwambe bakufaki: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.
45 Ndambo kati na bango bakimaki na nzela ya esobe, na ngambo ya libanga monene ya Rimoni. Na nzela, bana ya Isalaele babomaki bato nkoto mitano oyo balokotaki na nzela. Balandaki bango lisusu kino na Gideomi mpe babomaki mibali nkoto mibale.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.
46 Motango nyonso ya bana ya Benjame oyo bakufaki na mokolo wana ezalaki nkoto tuku mibale na mitano: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba mpe bayebaki kobunda na mopanga.
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
47 Mibali nkama motoba kati na bango balongaki kopesa mokongo mpe kokima na nzela ya esobe kino na libanga monene ya Rimoni. Bawumelaki kuna sanza minei.
But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48 Mibali ya Isalaele bazongelaki bato ya libota ya Benjame mpe babomaki na mopanga mibali nyonso elongo na bibwele na bango, kobanda na engumba Gibea kino na bamboka mike. Batumbaki bamboka mike nyonso epai wapi balekaki.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
