Mpitsara 21
1 Ary ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely efa nianiana tany Mizpa nanao hoe: Aoka tsy hisy amintsika hanome ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny Benjamita.
Iuraverunt quoque filii Israel in Maspha et dixerunt: Nullus nostrum dabit filiis Beniamin de filiabus suis uxorem.
2 Dia nankany Betela ny olona ka nitoetra teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra mandra-paharivan’ ny andro, dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany mafy dia mafy
Veneruntque omnes ad domum Dei in Silo, et in conspectu eius sedentes usque ad vesperam, levaverunt vocem, et magno ululatu cœperunt flere, dicentes:
3 nanao hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, nahoana no tonga tamin’ ny Isiraely izao ankehitriny, ka fongotra ny firenena iray amin’ ny Isiraely?
Quare Domine Deus Israel factum est hoc malum in populo tuo, ut hodie una tribus auferretur ex nobis?
4 Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia nifoha maraina koa ny olona ka nanorina alitara teo ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana.
Altera autem die diluculo consurgentes, extruxerunt altare: obtuleruntque ibi holocausta, et pacificas victimas, et dixerunt:
5 Ary hoy ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Iza amin’ ny ferenen’ Isiraely rehetra no tsy niakatra teo amin’ ny fiangonana hanatona an’ i Jehovah? fa efa nisy fianianana lehibe ny amin’ izay tsy niakatra ho any amin’ i Jehovah tany Mizpa hoe: Hatao maty tokoa izy.
Quis non ascendit in exercitu Domini de universis tribubus Israel? Grandi enim iuramento se constrinxerant, cum essent in Maspha, interfici eos qui defuissent.
6 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanenina ny amin’ i Benjamina rahalahiny ka nanao hoe: Misy firenena iray voafongotra eo amin’ ny Isiraely ankehitriny.
Ductique pœnitentia filii Israel super fratre suo Beniamin, cœperunt dicere: Ablata est tribus una de Israel,
7 Ahoana no hataontsika amin’ ireo sisa hahazoany vady; fa isika efa nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah tsy hanome vady azy amin’ ny zanakavavintsika?
unde uxores accipient? Omnes enim in commune iuravimus, non daturos nos his filias nostras.
8 Dia hoy izy: Iza amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely no tsy mba niakatra ho any amin’ i Jehovah tany Mizpa? Ary, indro, tsy nisy olona avy tany Jebesi-gileada na dia iray akory aza nankany an-toby ho ao amin’ ny fiangonana.
Idcirco dixerunt: Quis est de universis tribubus Israel, qui non ascendit ad Dominum in Maspha? Et ecce inventi sunt habitatores Iabes Galaad in illo exercitu non fuisse.
9 Fa rehefa voalamina ny olona, dia, indro, tsy nisy tao na dia iray akory aza avy tamin’ ny tompon-tany tany Jabesi-gileada.
(Eo quoque tempore cum essent in Silo, nullus ex eis ibi repertus est.)
10 Dia naniraka lehilahy mahery roa arivo sy iray alin-dahy ny fiangonana ka nandidy azy hoe: Mandehana, ka mameleza ny mponina any Jabesi-gileada amin’ ny lelan-tsabatra mbamin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy.
Miserunt itaque decem millia viros robustissimos, et præceperunt eis: Ite, et percutite habitatores Iabes Galaad in ore gladii, tam uxores quam parvulos eorum.
11 Ary izao no hataonareo: Ny lehilahy rehetra sy ny vehivavy rehetra izay efa nahalala lahy dia haringanareo.
Et hoc erit quod observare debebitis: Omne generis masculini, et mulieres, quæ cognoverunt viros, interficite, virgines autem reservate.
12 Ary nahita zazavavy virijina efa-jato tsy mbola nahalala lahy teo amin’ ny mponina tany Jabesi-gileada izy ka nitondra ireo ho any an-toby tany Silo any amin’ ny tany Kanana.
Inventæque sunt de Iabes Galaad quadringentæ virgines, quæ nescierunt viri thorum, et adduxerunt eas ad castra in Silo, in Terram Chanaan.
13 Ary ny fiangonana rehetra dia naniraka niteny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina, izay tao amin’ ny harambato tao Rimona, ka niantso azy hihavana aminy.
Miseruntque nuncios ad filios Beniamin, qui erant in Petra Remmon, et præceperunt eis, ut eos susciperent in pace.
14 Dia niverina tamin’ izany andro izany ny Benjamita, ka nomeny azy ireo vehivavy efa novelominy tamin’ ny vehivavy tao Jabesi-gileada ireo; kanjo mbola tsy nahenina azy ihany ireo.
Veneruntque filii Beniamin in illo tempore, et datæ sunt eis uxores de filiabus Iabes Galaad: alias autem non repererunt, quas simili modo traderent.
15 Ary ny olona nanenina noho ny amin’ i Benjamina, satria nisy nobangain’ i Jehovah ny firenen’ Isiraely.
Universusque Israel valde doluit, et egit pœnitentiam super interfectione unius tribus ex Israel.
16 Dia hoy ny loholon’ ny fiangonana: Ahoana no hataontsika ho an’ ireo sisa mba hahazoany vady, fa efa naringana ny vehivavy tamin’ ny Benjamita?
Dixeruntque maiores natu: Quid faciemus reliquis, qui non acceperunt uxores? Omnes in Beniamin feminæ conciderunt,
17 Ary hoy izy: Tsy maintsy mahazo lova ny Benjamita izay afa-nandositra, mba tsy hisy firenena iray fongotra amin’ ny Isiraely.
et magna nobis cura, ingentique studio providendum est, ne una tribus deleatur ex Israel.
18 Nefa isika tsy mahazo manome azy ny zanakavavintsika ho vadiny, satria efa nianiana ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Ho voaozona anie izay manome vady ho an’ ny Benjamita.
Filias enim nostras eis dare non possumus, constricti iuramento et maledictione, qua diximus: Maledictus qui dederit de filiabus suis uxorem Beniamin.
19 Dia hoy izy: Indro, misy andro firavoravoana isan-taona ho an’ i Jehovah any Silo, izay avaratr’ i Betela, atsinanan’ ny lalambe miakatra avy any Betela hankany Sekema, ary atsimon’ i Lebona.
Ceperuntque consilium, atque dixerunt: Ecce sollemnitas Domini est in Silo anniversaria, quæ sita est ad Septentrionem urbis Bethel, et ad Orientalem plagam viæ, quæ de Bethel tendit ad Sichimam, et ad Meridiem oppidi Lebona.
20 Ary nandidy ny taranak’ i Benjamina izy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka manotreha any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka,
Præceperuntque filiis Beniamin, atque dixerunt: Ite, ad latitate in vineis.
21 ka jereo, ka raha, indreo, mivoaka handihy ny zazavavy avy any Silo, dia mivoaha avy ao amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka ianareo, ary samia misambotra amin’ ny zazavavy avy any Silo ho vadiny avy, ka mandehana any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina indray.
Cumque videritis filias Silo ad ducendos choros ex more procedere, exite repente de vineis, et rapite ex eis singuli uxores singulas, et pergite in Terram Beniamin.
22 Ary raha mankany aminay hitaraina ny rainy na ny anadahiny, dia holazainay aminy hoe: Omeo anay ihany izy, fa izahay tsy mba nahazo vady tany amin’ ilay ady teo; fa tsy ianareo no nanome azy; fa raha izany, dia meloka ihany ianareo.
Cumque venerint patres earum, ac fratres, et adversum vos queri cœperint, atque iurgari, dicemus eis: Miseremini eorum: non enim rapuerunt eas iure bellantium atque victorum, sed rogantibus ut acciperent, non dedistis, et a vestra parte peccatum est.
23 Dia nanao izany ny taranak’ i Benjamina ka samy naka vady araka ny isany tamin’ ny mpandihy izay nosamboriny; dia nandeha izy ka niverina ho any amin’ ny lovany ary namboatra ireo tanàna ireo ka nonina tao.
Feceruntque filii Beniamin, ut sibi fuerat imperatum: et iuxta numerum suum rapuerunt sibi de his, quæ ducebant choros, uxores singulas: abieruntque in possessionem suam ædificantes urbes, et habitantes in eis.
24 Dia samy nandeha niala teo ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany, samy ho any amin’ ny fireneny sy ny fokony avy; dia niala teo ho any amin’ ny lovany avy ny olona rehetra.
Filii quoque Israel reversi sunt per tribus, et familias in tabernacula sua.
25 Tsy nisy mpanjaka teo amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany; fa samy nanao izay nataony ho marina avy izy rehetra.
In diebus illis non erat rex in Israel: sed unusquisque quod sibi rectum videbatur, hoc faciebat.
