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.
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi Misipa, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ai ha tokotaha ʻiate kitautolu ʻe ʻatu hono ʻofefine kia Penisimani kenau mali.”
2 Dia nankany Betela ny olona ka nitoetra teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra mandra-paharivan’ ny andro, dia nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany mafy dia mafy
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea nofo ʻi ai ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe hiki honau leʻo, ʻo tangi mamahi;
3 nanao hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, nahoana no tonga tamin’ ny Isiraely izao ankehitriny, ka fongotra ny firenena iray amin’ ny Isiraely?
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e hā kuo hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke mole ai he ʻaho ni ha faʻahinga ʻi ʻIsileli?”
4 Ary nony ampitson’ iny dia nifoha maraina koa ny olona ka nanorina alitara teo ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pongipongi hake, naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae kakai, pea fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Ko hai ia ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake mo e fakataha lahi kia Sihova? He naʻa nau fai ʻae fuakava lahi koeʻuhi ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake kia Sihova ki Misipa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.’”
6 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanenina ny amin’ i Benjamina rahalahiny ka nanao hoe: Misy firenena iray voafongotra eo amin’ ny Isiraely ankehitriny.
Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko Penisimani ko honau tokoua, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo motuhi ha faʻahinga ʻe taha mei ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni.
7 Ahoana no hataontsika amin’ ireo sisa hahazoany vady; fa isika efa nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah tsy hanome vady azy amin’ ny zanakavavintsika?
Ko e hā te tau fai koeʻuhi ke maʻu honau uaifi ʻekinautolu ʻoku toe, he kuo tau fuakava ʻia Sihova ʻe ʻikai te tau foaki kenau mali mo hotau ngaahi ʻofefine?”
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko hai ha tokotaha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ki Misipa kia Sihova?” Pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai haʻu ha tokotaha ki he ʻapitanga mei Sepesi-Kiliati ki he fakataha lahi.
9 Fa rehefa voalamina ny olona, dia, indro, tsy nisy tao na dia iray akory aza avy tamin’ ny tompon-tany tany Jabesi-gileada.
He naʻe lau ʻae kakai, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha taha mei he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ki ai ʻe he fakataha lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano naʻe mālohi lahi, pea naʻe fekau pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu, ʻo taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau fefine mo e fānau.”
11 Ary izao no hataonareo: Ny lehilahy rehetra sy ny vehivavy rehetra izay efa nahalala lahy dia haringanareo.
Pea ko e meʻa ni ke mou fai, Te mou fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae tangata kotoa pē, mo e fefine kotoa pē kuo mohe mo e tangata.
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.
Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻi he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati ʻae kau taʻahine tāupoʻou ʻe toko fāngeau, naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi he mohe mo e tangata: pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he ʻapitanga ki Sailo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae lea mei he fakataha lahi ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, naʻe [nofo ]ʻi he maka ko Limoni, pea ko e lea fakamelino ia kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Penisimani he kuonga ko ia; pea naʻa nau ʻatu honau ngaahi uaifi ʻaia kuo nau fakamoʻui ʻi he kau fefine ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau totofu.
15 Ary ny olona nanenina noho ny amin’ i Benjamina, satria nisy nobangain’ i Jehovah ny firenen’ Isiraely.
Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻae kakai ʻia Penisimani, koeʻuhi kuo fai ʻe Sihova ha tautea ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.
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?
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fakataha, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te tau fai koeʻuhi ke maʻu uaifi ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, koeʻuhi kuo ʻauha ʻae kau fefine meia Penisimani?
17 Ary hoy izy: Tsy maintsy mahazo lova ny Benjamita izay afa-nandositra, mba tsy hisy firenena iray fongotra amin’ ny Isiraely.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, Ke ʻai ha tofiʻa moʻonautolu kuo hao ʻia Penisimani, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ha faʻahinga ʻe taha ʻi ʻIsileli.
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.
Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau ʻatu honau uaifi ʻi hotau ngaahi ʻofefine: he kuo fuakava ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ha uaifi kia Penisimani.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga maʻa Sihova ʻoku fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ʻi Sailo,” ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻo Peteli, ʻi he potu hahake ʻi he hala lahi ʻoku ʻalu hake mei Peteli ki Sikemi, pea ʻi he potu tonga ʻo Lepona.
20 Ary nandidy ny taranak’ i Benjamina izy ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka manotreha any amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka,
Ko ia naʻa nau fekau ai ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo toitoi, tatali ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine;
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.
Pea sio, pea vakai, kapau ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Sailo ke meʻe ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, mou haʻu ai mei he ngaahi ngoue vaine, ʻo puke ke taki taha homou uaifi ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Sailo, pea mou ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo Penisimani.
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.
‘Pea ka haʻu ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ko honau ngaahi tuongaʻane ke ʻeke ia kiate kimautolu, te mau pehē kiate kinautolu, Mou fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko kimautolu: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau fakatoe kiate kinautolu taki taha hono uaifi ʻi he tau: pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he kuonga ni, ke mou halaia ai.’”
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.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo fili honau uaifi ʻo fakatatau ki honau lau, meiate kinautolu naʻe meʻe, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau puke: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo toe hoko ki honau tofiʻa, ʻo toe teuteu ʻenau ngaahi kolo, pea nofo ki ai.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono faʻahinga pea ki hono kāinga, pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono tofiʻa.
25 Tsy nisy mpanjaka teo amin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany; fa samy nanao izay nataony ho marina avy izy rehetra.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: ka naʻe fai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
