Wotso woƒe duwo me va ƒo ƒu ɖe Gibea be yewoawɔ aʋa kple Israelviwo.
15 Ku lunaku olwo, abaana ba Benyamini ne bavaayo okuva mu bibuga abasajja abalina ebitala emitwalo ebiri mu kakaaga.

Israelviwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo, ame siwo dome Benyamin ƒe viwo mele o la de ame akpe alafa ene.
18 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagolokoka ne bayambuka e Beseri ne beebuuza ku Katonda nga bagamba nti, “Ani ku ffe alisooka okugenda okulwanyisa abaana ba Benyamini?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Yuda yalisooka.”
Hafi woadze aʋa la wɔwɔ gɔme la, Israelviwo yi Betel gbã eye wobia Mawu be, “To kae anɔ ŋgɔ na mí, míawɔ aʋa kple Benyamin ƒe to la?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Yuda ƒe viwoe anɔ ŋgɔ.”
19 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagolokoka mu makya ne basiisira okumpi ne Gibea.
Esi ŋu ke la, Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi te ɖe Gibea ŋu.
20 Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne bagenda okulwanyisa Benyamini, n’abasajja ba Benyamini ne basimba ennyiriri okulwanyisa abasajja ba Isirayiri e Gibea.
Israelviwo yi be woawɔ aʋa kple Benyamin ƒe viwo eye wodze aʋalɔgowo ɖe wo ŋu le Gibea.
21 Abaana ba Benyamini ne bava mu Gibea ne batta abasajja ba Isirayiri emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi bbiri mu lutalo ku lunaku olwo.
Benyamin ƒe viwo do tso Gibea eye wowu Israelvi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve le aʋagbedzi gbe ma gbe.
22 Naye abantu bazzaamu abasajja ba Isirayiri amaanyi, ne baddayo ne basimba ennyiriri mu kifo mwe baali ku lunaku olwasooka.
Ke Israelviwo de dzi ƒo na wo nɔewo eye wogaƒo ƒu ɖe teƒe si wonɔ le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
23 Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne bambuka ne bakaabira Mukama okutuusa akawungeezi. Ne beebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Tuddeyo tulwanyise baganda baffe abaana ba Benyamini?” Mukama n’abaddamu nti, “Mugende mubalwanyise.”
Israelviwo yi Yehowa gbɔ hefa avi nɛ va se ɖe fiẽ eye wobia Yehowa be, “Ɖe míagayi aɖawɔ aʋa kple Benyamin ƒe viwo, ame siwo nye mía nɔviwoa?” Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi miakpe aʋa kpli wo.” Ale dzi gaɖo Israelviwo ƒo, wogada woƒe aʋawɔlawo ɖe afi si woda wo ɖo tsã.
24 Ku lunaku olwokubiri Abayisirayiri ne basembera okulwanyisa Ababenyamini.
Israelviwo gakpe aʋa kple Benyamin ƒe to la zi evelia.
25 Ababenyamini ne bavaayo ne balumba okuva e Gibea, ne batta abaana ba Isirayiri abalala omutwalo gumu mu kanaana mu lutalo ku lunaku olwo olwokubiri; Abayisirayiri abo bonna baalina ebitala.
Gbe ma gbe la, Benyamin ƒe to la gawu ame akpe wuienyi, ame siwo nye yidala nyuiwo la, le Israelviwo dome.
26 Awo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna n’abantu bonna, ne bambuka okulaga e Beseri, ne bakaabira Mukama Katonda ne batuula eyo mu maaso ge ne basiiba olunaku olwo okutuusa akawungeezi, lwe baawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe mu maaso ga Mukama.

29 Awo Abayisirayiri ne bateegera ku njuyi zonna eza Gibea.
Ale Israelvi aɖewo de xa ɖe teƒe vovovoawo ƒo xlã Gibea
30 Ku lunaku olwokusatu abaana ba Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa abaana ba Benyamini ne basimba ennyiriri nga boolekedde Gibea ng’olulala.

31 Abaana ba Benyamini ne bavaayo okubalwanyisa ne basikirizibwa okuva mu kibuga, ne batandika okukuba n’okutta ng’olulala, nga bava ku luguudo olumu okudda e Beseri, ne ku lulala oludda e Gibea mu nnimiro. Ne batta abasajja Abayisirayiri ng’amakumi asatu.
Esi Benyamin ƒe to la do go le dua me be yewoakpe aʋa kpli wo la, Israelviwo si yi megbe, Benyamin ƒe to la dze wo yome, ale wogblẽ Gibea ɖe megbe. Abe ale si wowɔ tsã ene la, Benyamin ƒe to la de asi Israelviwo wuwu me le mɔ si le Betel kple Gibea dome la dzi; ale wowu Israelvi blaetɔ̃.
32 Abaana ba Benyamini bwe baagambanga nti, “Tubawangula nga luli bwe kyali ku mulundi ogwasooka,” Abayisirayiri bo ne beeteesa nti, “Tuddeyoko emabega, tubasikirize okubaggya mu kibuga badde mu nguudo.”
Benyamin ƒe to la do ɣli be, “Míegale wo dzi ɖum egbe hã!” Ke, enye ɖoɖo le Israel ƒe aʋakplɔlawo dome do ŋgɔ be yewoasi ale be Benyamin ƒe to la nakplɔ yewo ɖo ale be woadzo le woƒe dua gbɔ.
33 Abasajja bonna aba Isirayiri ne bava mu nnyiriri zaabwe mu bifo byabwe, ne badda e Baalutamali. Abayisirayiri abaateega ne bafubutuka okuva mu bifo byabwe mu ttale erya Gibea.
Ke esi Israelviwo ƒe aʋalɔgo gãtɔ ɖo Baal Tama la, etrɔ hekpe aʋa kple Benyamin ƒe to la azɔ eye Israelvi akpe ewo si de xa ɖe Gibea ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe la, do go tso teƒe si wode xa ɖo
34 Awo abasajja omutwalo gumu abaalondebwa okuva mu Isirayiri yonna, ne balumba Gibea ne waba okulwana okw’amaanyi, Ababenyamini ne batamanya nti akabi kabajjidde.
eye wokplɔ Benyamin ƒe to la ɖo to megbe, le esime Benyamin ƒe to la menya kura be aʋa si yewo to megbe o.
35 Awo Mukama Katonda n’awangula Benyamini mu maaso ga Isirayiri, era ku lunaku olwo abaana ba Isirayiri ne batta Ababenyamini bonna abaalina ebitala, abasajja emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi ttaano mu kikumi.
Ale Yehowa si Benyamin ƒe to la le Israelviwo ŋgɔ eye Israelviwo wu ame akpe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ le Benyamin ƒe to la dome, ale wonya azɔ be woɖu yewo dzi; woƒe aʋawɔla ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ.
36 Abaana ba Benyamini ne balaba nga bakubiddwa. Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne bakolera Ababenyamini ekkubo, nga bo Abayisirayiri beesize abateezi be baali batadde okumpi ne Gibea.
Israelviwo ƒe aʋalɔgo gãtɔ si yi megbe elabena woɖo ŋu ɖe woƒe aʋalɔgo si de xa ɖi ƒo xlã Gibea la ŋu.
37 Abaali bateeze ne badduka ne beesogga mu Gibea, ne basaasaana ne batta abaakirimu bonna.
Ame siawo yi Gibea dua me eye wowu ame sia ame.
38 Abasajja ba Isirayiri baali balagaanye n’abaateega nti abateezi bwe banaanyoosa omukka omungi mu kibuga,

ekema Israel ƒe aʋalɔgo gãtɔ me nɔlawo natrɔ awɔ aʋa ŋkume kple ŋkume kple Benyamin ƒe to la. Esi Benyamin ƒe to la wu ame blaetɔ̃ xoxo ta la, wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Míegasi wo abe ale si míesi wo tsã ene.”
40 Naye omukka bwe gwatandika okunyooka, ekibuga kyonna nga kigya, Ababenyamini ne bakyuka okutunula emabega, laba, ng’ekibuga kyonna kikutte omuliro.
Tete dzesi si woɖo da ɖi la dze na wo: dzudzɔ de asi tutu me kɔlikɔli le dua me. Esi Benyamin ƒe to la trɔ kɔ kpɔ megbe la, ewɔ nuku na wo be du blibo la nɔ bibim.
41 Abasajja ba Isirayiri ne babakyukira. Abasajja ba Benyamini ne batya bwe baalaba ng’akabi kabajjidde.
Israelviwo trɔ ɖe wo ŋu azɔ. Benyamin ƒe to la tɔtɔ eye wosi ɖo ta gbedzi elabena wodze sii azɔ be yewotsrɔ̃ vɔ.
42 Kyebaava badduka abasajja ba Isirayiri nga baddukira mu ddungu, kyokka olutalo ne lubayinza. Buli eyadduka okuva mu bibuga n’afiira wamu nabo.
Wosi le Israelviwo nu ɖo ta gbedzi, Israelviwo kplɔ wo ɖo eye ame siwo be ɖe mɔa dzi la va kpe ɖe wo nɔviwo ŋu hewu Benyamin ƒe to la tso megbe.
43 Abayisirayiri ne bazingiza Ababenyamini, ne babagoba okutuukira ddala ku buvanjuba bw’e Gibea we butandikira.

45 Ababenyamini bwe baddukira mu ddungu nga boolekedde olwazi lwa Limoni, Abayisirayiri ne batta enkumi ttaano ku bo. Abayisirayiri ne bongera okubagobera ddala okutuuka e Gidomu, era n’eyo ne battirayo abasajja enkumi bbiri.
Agbetsilawo si yi gbedzi le Rimon kpe la gbɔ le esime wowu wo dometɔ ame akpe atɔ̃ le mɔa dzi eye wogawu ame akpe eve le Gidom gbɔ.
