Mpitsara 20

1 Dia nivoaka ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ary ny fiangonana hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba ary ny tany Gileada koa nivory tahaka ny olona iray ho any amin’ i Jehovah tany Mizpa.

Then all the children of Israel went out, and the Congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, vnto the Lord in Mizpeh.

2 Ary ny loholona rehetra tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely niseho teo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny olon’ Andriamanitra, dia lehilahy efatra hetsy mandeha tongotra sady mahatan-tsabatra.

And the chiefe of all the people, and all the tribes of Israel assembled in the Congregation of the people of God foure hundreth thousand footemen that drewe sword.

3 Ary ren’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina fa niakatra ho any Mizpa ny Zanak’ Isiraely. Dia hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Lazao izay nahatonga izao ratsy izao.

(Now the children of Beniamin heard that the children of Israel were gone vp to Mizpeh) Then the children of Israel saide, Howe is this wickednesse committed?

4 Dia namaly ilay Levita, vadin-dravehivavy novonoina, ka nanao hoe: Tonga tany Gibea, izay an’ ny Benjamita, izaho sy ny vaditsindranoko handry tao.

And the same Leuite, the womans husband that was slaine, answered and saide, I came vnto Gibeah that is in Beniamin with my concubine to lodge,

5 Dia nitsangana hamely ahy ny mponina tao Gibea ka nanodidina ny trano hamely ahy tamin’ ny alina; izaho saiky novonoiny, ary ny vaditsindranoko nandriany ka matiny.

And the men of Gibeah arose against me, and beset the house round about vpon mee by night, thinking to haue slaine me, and haue forced my concubine that she is dead.

6 Dia nalaiko ny vaditsindranoko ka norasaiko ary nampitondraiko tany amin’ ny tany rehetra izay lovan’ ny Isiraely, satria efa nanao fahavetavetana sy zavatra fady indrindra teo amin’ ny Isiraely ireo.

Then I tooke my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the countrey of the inheritance of Israel: for they haue committed abomination and villenie in Israel.

7 Koa indreto ianareo Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, mba alaharo izay teny sy hevitrareo.

Behold, ye are al children of Israel: giue your aduise, and counsell herein.

8 Dia nitsangana tahaka ny olona iray ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao hoe: Tsy hisy hankany amin’ ny laintsika akory isika, ary tsy hisy hody any an-tranontsika akory.

Then all the people arose as one man, saying, There shall not a man of vs goe to his tent, neither any turne into his house.

9 Fa ankehitriny, izao no hataontsika amin’ i Gibea: araka ny filokana no aoka hanaovantsika azy.

But now this is that thing which we will do to Gibeah: we wil goe vp by lot against it,

10 Ary haka folo lahy isan-jato amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra isika, dia zato amin’ ny arivo, ary arivo amin’ ny iray alina, mba haka vatsy ho an’ ny olona, ka rehefa tonga any Gibean’ ny Benjamina izy, dia araka ilay zavatra fady indrindra efa nataony teo amin’ ny Isiraely no hataony aminy.

And we wil take ten men of the hundreth throughout al the tribes of Israel, and an hundreth of the thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand to bring vitaile for the people that they may do (when they come to Gibeah of Beniamin) according to all the villeny, that it hath done in Israel.

11 Dia nivory ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely ka efa nikambana tahaka ny olona iray hamely ny tanàna.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the citie, knit together, as one man.

12 Ary ny firenen’ Isiraely dia naniraka olona tany amin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina rehetra hanao hoe: Inona izao ratsy natao teto aminareo izao?

And the tribes of Israel sent men through al the tribe of Beniamin, saying, What wickednesse is this that is committed among you?

13 Koa ankehitriny atolory anay ireo olona tena ratsy fanahy avy any Gibea ireo, mba hataonay maty izy, ka hesorinay tsy ho eo amin’ ny Isiraely ny ratsy. Fa ny taranak’ i Benjamina tsy nety nihaino ny feon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rahalahiny.

Nowe therefore deliuer vs those wicked men which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away euill from Israel: but the children of Beniamin would not obey the voyce of their brethren the children of Israel.

14 Ary nivory ny taranak’ i Benjamina avy tamin’ ny tanànany rehetra hankany Gibea mba handeha hiady amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

But ye children of Beniamin gathered them selues together out of the cities vnto Gibeah, to come out and fight against the children of Israel.

15 Dia voalamina tamin’ izany andro izany ny taranak’ i Benjamina avy tamin’ ireo tanàna ireo, ka enina arivo sy roa alin-dahy nahatan-tsabatra, afa-tsy ny mponina tao Gibea izay voalamina, dia fiton-jato lahy voafantina.

And ye children of Beniamin were nombred at that time out of the cities sixe and twenty thousand men that drewe sworde, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were nombred seuen hundreth chosen men.

16 Ary teo amin’ izany olona rehetra izany nisy olona kavia fiton-jato lahy nofantenany, samy nahay nitoraka tamin’ ny antsamotady, ka tsy nisy nivena na dia hoatra ny singam-bolo aza.

Of all this people were seuen hundreth chosen men, being left handed: all these could sling stones at an heare breadth, and not faile.

17 Ary ny lehilahy voalamina tamin’ ny Isiraely, afa-tsy ny Benjamina, dia efatra hetsy nahatan-tsabatra; mpanafika avokoa ireo rehetra ireo.

Also the men of Israel, beside Beniamin, were nombred foure hundreth thousande men that drew sword, euen all men of warre.

18 Dia niainga ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka niakatra tany Betela ary nanontany tamin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Iza no hiakatra voalohany hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina ho anay? Dia hoy Jehovah: Joda no ho voalohany.

And the children of Israel arose, and went vp to the house of God, and asked of God, saying, Which of vs shall goe vp first to fight against the children of Beniamin? And the Lord said, Iudah shalbe first.

19 Dia niainga maraina koa ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitoby tandrifin’ i Gibea.

Then the children of Israel arose vp earely and camped against Gibeah.

20 Ary nivoaka ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely hiady amin’ ny Benjamita; ary nilahatra ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely hiady aminy tao akaiky an’ i Gibea.

And the men of Israel went out to battell against Beniamin, and the men of Israel put themselues in aray to fight against the beside Gibeah.

21 Ary nivoaka avy tany Gibea kosa ny taranak’ i Benjamina ka naharingana ny Zanak’ Isiraely roa arivo sy roa alin-dahy niampatrampatra tamin’ ny tany tamin’ izany andro izany.

And the children of Beniamin came out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the ground of the Israelites that day two and twentie thousand men.

22 Fa nifanome toky ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely ka nilahatra hiady indray teo amin’ ilay nilaharany tamin’ ny andro voalohany.

And the people, the men of Israel plucked vp their hearts, and set their battel againe in aray in the place where they put them in aray the first day.

23 Ary niakatra ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah mandra-paharivan’ ny andro, dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Handroso indray va aho hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina rahalahiko? Ary hoy Jehovah: Miakara hiady aminy.

(For the children of Israel had gone vp and wept before the Lord vnto the euening, and had asked of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe againe to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren? and the Lord said, Go vp against them)

24 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nandroso tamin’ ny andro faharoa hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina.

Then the children of Israel came neere against the children of Beniamin the second day.

25 Dia nivoaka avy tany Gibea ny Benjamita hiady aminy indray tamin’ ny andro faharoa ka naharingana ny Zanak’ Isiraely valo arivo sy iray alin-dahy niampatrampatra tamin’ ny tany; nahatan-tsabatra avokoa ireo rehetra ireo.

Also the second day Beniamin came forth to meete them out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the grounde of the children of Israel againe eighteene thousand men: all they could handle the sword.

26 Dia niakatra ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra sy ny olona rehetra ka nankany Betela, dia nitomany sy nipetraka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nifady hanina tamin’ izany andro izany mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy.

Then al the children of Israel went vp and all the people came also vnto the house of God, and wept and sate there before the Lord and fasted that day vnto the euening, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before the Lord.

27 Dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely (fa tao ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ Andriamanitra tamin’ izany andro izany,

And the children of Israel asked the Lord (for there was the Arke of the couenat of God in those dayes,

28 ary Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona, nijanona teo anoloany tamin’ izany andro izany) ka nanao hoe: Mbola hivoaka indray va aho hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina rahalahiko, sa hitsahatra? Ary hoy Jehovah: Miakara, fa rahampitso dia hatolotro ho eo an-tananao izy.

And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron stoode before it at that time) saying, Shall I yet goe anie more to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren, or shall I cease? And the Lord said, Go vp: for to morowe I will deliuer them into your hand.

29 Ary nasian’ ny Isiraely otrika manodidina an’ i Gibea.

And Israel set men to lie in waite round about Gibeah.

30 Dia niakatra ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny andro fahatelo hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina ka nilahatra tandrifin’ i Gibea tahaka ilay teo aloha ihany.

And the children of Israel went vp against the children of Beniamin the third day, and put theselues in aray against Gibeah, as at other times.

31 Dia nivoaka ny taranak’ i Benjamina hiady tamin’ ny olona ka voatarika niala tamin’ ny tanàna izy ary nanomboka namely sy nahafaty ny olona tahaka ny teo aloha, dia tokony ho telo-polo lahy teo amin’ ny Isiraely tany an-tsampanan-dalana, miakatra ho any Betela ny anankiray, ary ny anankiray kosa ho any Gibea any an-tsaha.

Then the children of Beniamin comming out against the people, were drawen from the citie: and they began to smite of ye people and kill as at other times, euen by the wayes in the fielde (whereof one goeth vp to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah) vpon a thirtie men of Israel.

32 Ary hoy ny taranak’ i Benjamina: Resy eo anoloantsika tahaka ilay teo aloha ihany izy. Fa hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Andeha hanao tari-dositra isika mba hampiala azy amin’ ny tanàna ho any an-dalambe.

(For the children of Beniamin sayd, They are fallen before vs, as at the first. But the children of Israel saide, Let vs flee and plucke them away from the citie vnto the hie wayes)

33 Ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely nitsangana niala tamin’ ny fitoerany ka nilahatra tany Bala-tamara; ary ny Isiraely izay nanotrika dia niroatra avy tamin’ fitoerany, avy tao an-tsahan’ i Gibea.

And all the men of Israel rose vp out of their place, and put themselues in aray at Baal-tamar: and the men that lay in wayte of the Israelites came forth of their place, euen out of the medowes of Gibeah,

34 Ary tonga tandrifin’ i Gibea ny iray alin-dahy voafantina tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary efa mafy ny ady nefa tsy fantatry ny Benjamita fa efa hiharan-doza izy.

And they came ouer against Gibeah, ten thousande chosen men of all Israel, and the battell was sore: for they knewe not that the euill was neere them.

35 Ary Jehovah namely ny Benjamita teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely, ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny taranak’ i Benjamina dia nahafatesan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely zato sy dimy arivo amby roa alin-dahy; nahatan-tsabatra avokoa ireo rehetra ireo.

And the Lord smote Beniamin before Israel, and the children of Israel destroyed of the Beniamites the same day fiue and twenty thousand and an hundreth men: all they could handle the sword.

36 Ary hitan’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina fa resy izy; ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely nanao tari-dositra tamin’ ny Benjamita, satria natoky ny otrika izay efa napetrany teo akaikin’ i Gibea izy.

So the children of Beniamin sawe that they were striken downe: for the men of Israel gaue place to the Beniamites, because they trusted to the men that lay in waite, which they had laide beside Gibeah.

37 Ary ny otrika niroatra faingana hankany Gibea, dia nandeha faingana ka namely ny tanàna rehetra tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra.

And they that lay in wait hasted, and brake forth toward Gibeah, and the ambushment drewe themselues along, and smote all the citie with the edge of the sword.

38 Ary ny famantarana nifaneken’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny otrika dia tsangan’ afo lehibe hisavoana ao an-tanàna.

Also the men of Israel had appoynted a certaine time with the ambushmentes, that they should make a great flame and smoke rise vp out of the citie.

39 Ary nirona tamin’ ny ady ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely (ny taranak’ i Benjamina nanomboka namely sy nahafaty ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely tokony ho telo-polo lahy; fa hoy izy: Resy tokoa eo anoloantsika izy tahaka ny tamin’ ny ady voalohany;

And when the men of Israel retired in the battel, Beniamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirtie persons: for they said, Surely they are striken downe before vs, as in the first battell.

40 fa raha vao niakatra avy tao amin’ ny tanàna ny setroka mitankosina, dia niherika ny taranak’ i Benjamina; ary, indro, niakatra ho amin’ ny lanitra avokoa ny setroky ny tanàna).

But when the flame bega to arise out of the citie, as a pillar of smoke, the Beniamites looked backe, and behold, the flame of the citie began to ascend vp to heauen.

41 Ary raha niverina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely, dia talanjona ny Benjamita, satria hitany fa efa nidiran-doza izy.

Then the men of Israel turned againe, and the men of Beniamin were astonied: for they saw that euill was neere vnto them.

42 Dia niamboho teo anoloan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely hankany amin’ ny lalana ho any an-efitra izy, fa ny ady nahatratra azy: ary izay nivoaka avy tao amin’ ny tanàna koa dia novonoiny teo.

Therefore they fled before the men of Israel vnto the way of the wildernesse, but the battell ouertooke them: also they which came out of the cities, slew them among them.

43 Nanemitra ny Benjamita izy ka nanenjika azy ary nanitsaka azy mora foana tandrifin’ i Gibea atsinanany.

Thus they compassed the Beniamites about, and chased them at ease, and ouerranne them, euen ouer against Gibeah on the Eastside.

44 Ary ny Benjamita dia nahafatesany valo arivo sy iray alin-dahy; lehilahy nahery avokoa ireo rehetra ireo.

And there were slaine of Beniamin eyghteene thousad men, which were all men of warre.

45 Dia nivily sy sisa ka nandositra nankany an-efitra ho any amin’ ny harambato any Rimona; ary ny voatsimpona teny an-dalana dia dimy arivo lahy, ary ny voatsimpona teny an-dalana dia dimy arivo lahy, ary mbola nenjehiny mafy ihany hatrany Gidoma izy ka nahafatesany roa arivo lahy.

And they turned and fled to the wildernes vnto the rocke of Rimmon: and the Israelites glayned of them by the way fiue thousand men, and pursued after them vnto Gidom, and slewe two thousand men of them,

46 Ary ny Benjamita rehetra izay lavo tamin’ izany andro izany dia dimy arivo sy roa alin-dahy nahatan-tsabatra; lehilahy nahery avokoa ireo rehetra ireo.

So that all that were slayne that day of Beniamin, were fiue and twentie thousand men that drewe sword, which were all men of warre:

47 Fa nisy enin-jato lahy nihodina ka nandositra nankany an-efitra ho any amin’ ny harambato any Rimona, dia nitoetra tao efa-bolana.

But sixe hundreth men turned and fled to the wildernesse vnto the rocke of Rimmon, and abode in the rocke of Rimmon foure moneths.

48 Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely niverina indray tany amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina ka namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra, hatramin’ ny olona tao an-tanàna ka hatramin’ ny biby fiompy ary izay hitany dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo avokoa.

Then the men of Israel returned vnto the children of Beniamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword from the men of the citie vnto the beasts, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they coulde come by.
