Ngalesosikhathi bonke abako-Israyeli baphuma njengomuntu munye kusukela eDani kusiya eBherishebha kanye laselizweni leGiliyadi, babuthana phambi kukaThixo eMizipha.
2 Aa le niatreke i fivoribei’ ondatin’ Añahareoy o mpiaolo’ ondaty iabio, ze hene fifokoa’ Israele, lahin-defo efats-etse songa mpitàm-pibara.
Abakhokheli babantu bonke bezizwana zako-Israyeli bathatha izindawo zabo ebandleni labantu bakaNkulunkulu, amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane ehlome ngezinkemba.
3 Jinanji’ o ana’ i Beniamineo ka te nionjom-be Mitspà mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo. Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo, Atalilio ama’ay o haloloañe zao.
(AbakoBhenjamini bezwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babeye eMizipha.) Abako-Israyeli basebesithi, “Sitsheleni ukuthi into le embi yenzakale njani.”
4 Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i nte-Levy vali’ i rakemba vinonoiy, Nimoake e Gebà’ i Beniamine iraho rekets’ i sakezakoy hialeñ’ ao.
Ngakho umLevi, indoda yowesifazane lowo owayebulewe, wathi, “Mina lomkami weceleni safika eGibhiya koBhenjamini ukuba silale khona.
5 Nitroatse hiatreatre amako amy haleñey ondati’ i Gebào, le ho naname ahy añariari’ i anjombay, hañoho-doza amako, fe nazi’ iareo i sakezakoy, ie mate henaneo.
Ebusuku abantu beGibhiya bangivukela bahanqa indlu, behlose ukungibulala. Badlova umkami weceleni waze wafa.
6 Aa le rinambeko i sakezakoy naho tinoritoriko vaho nampisangitrifeko hanitsike ze fonga tane linova’ Israele; ty amy halò-tserehañe naho hagegeañe e Israele ao.
Ngathatha umkami weceleni, ngamquma waba yiziqayiqa, ngathumela isiqa esisodwa esigabeni ngasinye selifa lako-Israyeli, ngoba amanyala lalesisenzo sokuxhwala basenzela ko-Israyeli.
7 Aa ie henaneo ry ana’ Israeleo, inahareo iaby, taroño etoañe ty fanoroa’ areo, ty safiri’ areo.
Khathesi lonke lina abako-Israyeli, khulumani litsho isinqumo senu.”
8 Aa le songa niongake hoe ondaty raike i màroy nanao ty hoe, Leo raik’ aman-tika tsy homb’ añ’akiba’e mb’eo, naho tsy ama’ay ty hitsile mb’ an-kiboho’e añe.
Abantu bonke basukuma njengomuntu munye, besithi, “Akakho kithi ozakuya ekhaya. Hathi, akakho kithi ozabuyela endlini yakhe.
9 Fe zao ty hanoentika amy Gebà: ho tamè’ay an-kitsapake;
Kodwa khathesi esizakwenza eGibhiya yilokhu: Sizakuyayihlasela ngokwenza inkatho.
10 vaho hangalà’ay ondaty folo ami’ty zato boak’amy ze hene fifokoa’ Israele, naho zato ami’ty arivo, naho arivo ty añ’ale, hitoha vaty ho a ondaty ho mb’e Gebà’ i Beniamine añe hiatrek’ aze ty amy fonga hagegeañe nanoe’ iereo e Israeley.
Sizathatha abantu abalitshumi phakathi kwabalikhulu kuzozonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, labalikhulu kwabayinkulungwane, labayinkulungwane kwaba zinkulungwane ezilutshumi ukuba badingele ibutho ukudla. Ekufikeni kwalo ibutho eGibhiya koBhenjamini, lizabanika okubafaneleyo ngamanyala lokuxhwala abakwenze ko-Israyeli.”
11 Aa le nifanontoñe hañatreatre i rovay ondati’ Israele iabio, vinanditse h’ondaty raike.
Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bahlangana, bamanyana njengomuntu munye bamelana ledolobho.
12 Nahitri’ o fifokoa’ Israeleo ondaty hanitsike ty fifokoa’ i Beniamineo hañontane ty hoe: Ino ze o haloloañe nifetsak’ ama’ areo zao?
Izizwana zako-Israyeli zathumela abantu kusosonke isizwana sakoBhenjamini, zisithi, “Yibudlova bani lobu obenziwayo phakathi kwenu na?
13 Ie amy zao akaro indaty rey, o tsivokatse e Gebào, hañohofa’ay loza, hañaria’ay amy Israele o haloloañe zao. F’ie tsy hinao’ i Beniamine ty fiarañanaña’ o longo’e ana’ Israeleo.
Khathesi-ke, banikeleni labobantu baseGibhiya abagangileyo ukuze sibabulale siqede ububi ko-Israyeli.” Kodwa abakoBhenjamini kababalalelanga abafowabo bako-Israyeli.
14 Te mone nifanontoñe e Gebà ao boak’ amo rova’eo o ana’ i Beniamineo hialy amo ana’ Israeleo.
Baqoqana eGibhiya bevela emadolobheni akibo ukuba balwe labako-Israyeli.
15 Vinolily tañ’ andro izay te ro’ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty mpitàm-pibara amo ana’ i Beniamineo niboak’ amo rova’eo, mandikoatse o mpimoneñ’ e Gebào; nifiton-jato t’indaty ao.
Ngasikhathi sinye abakoBhenjamini babutha izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesithupha zabahlome ngezinkemba emadolobheni akibo, phezu kwabantu abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa abakhethwa kulabo abahlala eGibhiya.
16 Fiton-jato am’ ondaty iabio ty ni-fitàn-kavia; songa nahafipiletse vato ami’ty treham-bolo le tsy nivio.
Phakathi kwamabutho la kwakulabantu abakhethiweyo abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababengamanxele, bonke bengakhuthi abakunxwaneleyo ngesavutha.
17 Niaheñe ho efats-etse ondaty mpitàm-pibara’ Israeleo, (tsy ama’e t’i Beniamine); songa lahin-defoñe.
Abako-Israyeli, ngaphandle kwabakoBhenjamini, babutha abantu abalwa ngezinkemba abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane, bonke bengabantu bempi.
18 Aa le niongake vaho nionjomb’e Betele mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo, nañontane ze hatoron’ Añahare, ami’ty hoe, Ia ama’ay ty hionjon-kialy amo Ana’ i Beniamineo valoha’e? Le hoe t’Iehovà: Iehoda ty hiaolo.
Abako-Israyeli baya eBhetheli babuza uNkulunkulu. Bathi, “Ngubani wethu ozahamba kuqala ukuyakulwa labakoBhenjamini?” UThixo wathi, “NguJuda ozahamba kuqala.”
19 Aa le nañaleñaleñe o ana’ Israeleo nitobe ampiatrefañe i Gebà ey.
Kusisa ekuseni, abako-Israyeli bavuka bamisa izihonqo eduzane leGibhiya.
20 Le nionjon-kialy amy Beniamine mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo; nalaha’ o nte-Israleo amo nte-Gebao ty hotakotake.
Abantu bako-Israyeli baphuma ukuyakulwa labakoBhenjamini bema ezindaweni ezilungele ukubahlasela eGibhiya.
21 Niakatse boake Gebà amy zao o ana’i Beniamineo vaho narotsa’ iareo an-tane amy andro zay t’indaty ro-ale-tsi-ro-arivo amo ana’ Israeleo.
AbakoBhenjamini baphuma eGibhiya babulala abako-Israyeli abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili endaweni yokulwela mhlalokho.
22 Nifañosike ondatio, o ana’ Israeleo, vaho nalaha’ iareo amy toetse nilahara’ iareo tamy andro valoha’eiy indraike hihotakotake.
Kodwa abantu bako-Israyeli banikana isibindi babuyela njalo ezindaweni zabo lapho ababekhona ngelanga lakuqala.
23 Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo nirovetse añatrefa’ Iehovà ampara’ te haleñe, le nihalaly am’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe, Aa vaho harineako amañ’aly indraike hao o ana’ i Beniamine rahalahikoo? Le hoe t’Iehovà, Mionjona mb’ ama’e.
Abako-Israyeli bahamba bayakhala phambi kukaThixo kwaze kwaba kusihlwa, njalo babuza uThixo bathi, “Singahamba njalo yini siyekulwa labakoBhenjamini, abafowethu na?” UThixo waphendula yathi, “Hambani liyebahlasela.”
24 Aa le niharinea’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’ i Beniamineo amy andro faharoey.
Abako-Israyeli basondela koBhenjamini ngosuku lwesibili.
25 Le niavotse hiatreke iareo boake Gebà t’i Beniamine amy andro faha-roey vaho rinotsa’e an-tane indraike o ana’ Israeleo ty lahindefoñe rai-ale-tsi-valoarivo songa mpitàm-pibara.
Ngalesisikhathi, kwathi abakoBhenjamini sebephumile eGibhiya ukuba bamelane labo, babulala abanye njalo abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, bonke behlome ngezinkemba.
26 Nionjomb’e Betele mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo naho ondaty iabio le nangololoike ty rovetse naho niambesatse añatrefa’ Iehovà, naho nililitse amy andro zay ampara’ te haleñe vaho nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe añatrefa’ Iehovà.
Lapho-ke, abako-Israyeli bonke lebutho lonke baya eBhetheli, bahlala khona bekhala phambi kukaThixo. Ngalelolanga bazila kwaze kwaba kusihlwa, banikela leminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yobudlelwano kuThixo.
27 Le nañontanea’ o ana’ Israleo t’Iehovà (amy te tao i vatam-pañinan’Añaharey tañ’ andro izay;
Abako-Israyeli basebebuza uThixo. (Ngalezonsuku umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawukhonapho,
28 vaho nijohañe añatrefa’e t’i Pinekase ana’i Elazare ana’ i Aharone fahe-zay) ami’ty hoe: Mbe hionjo hifandraparapak’ amo ana’ i Beniamine rahalahikoo hao iraho? Le hoe t’Iehovà: Mionjona amy t’ie hatoloko am-pità’o te hamaray.
uloFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, indodana ka-Aroni, ekhonza phambi kwawo.) Babuza bathi, “Singahamba njalo yini siyekulwa loBhenjamini umfowethu loba hatshi na?” UThixo waphendula wathi, “Hambani, ngoba kusasa ngizabanikela ezandleni zenu.”
29 Aa le niarikatohe’ Israele mpamandroñe ty Gebà.
Ngakho abako-Israyeli bacathama bezungeze iGibhiya.
30 Le nionjoñe haname o ana’ i Beniamineo o ana’Israeleo amy andro fahateloy vaho nidadañe niatreke i Gebà manahake i nanoe’ey.
Bahamba bayahlasela abakoBhenjamini ngosuku lwesithathu, balungela ukuhlasela iGibhiya njengebabekwenze kuqala.
31 Aa le niavotse hiatrek’ ondatio o ana’ i Beniamineo, le nasitak’ amy rovay; toe nigarabiñ’ aly naho namono an-damoke ey nanahak’ i añey, amy mionjomb’e Betele mb’eoy naho amy mb’e Gebà mb’eoy, naho an-tetekey, ondati’ nte’ Israele telo-polo varañe.
AbakoBhenjamini baphuma babahlangabeza baholelwa kude ledolobho. Baqalisa ukubabulala abako-Israyeli njengakuqala, kwathi ababephosa babengamatshumi amathathu bafela egcekeni emgwaqweni oya eBhetheli lomunye oya eGibhiya.
32 Le hoe ty asa’o ana’ i Beniamineo: Fa mibaibay aolon-tikañe eo iereo manahake tam-baloha’ey; ami’ty nanoa’ o ana’ Israeleo ty hoe: Antao hitriban-day hanitake iereo amy rovay mb’an-damoke mb’eo.
Kwathi abakoBhenjamini besithi, “Siyabehlula njengakuqala,” abako-Israyeli bona besithi, “Kasihlehleleni emuva sibaholele kude ledolobho emigwaqweni.”
33 Ie amy zao hene niongak’ an-toe’e eo o ana’ Israeleo naho nijohañe am-piriritañe i Baale Tamare ey; le niboroboñak’ amo toe’eo amy zao o mpivandroñeo, naho boak’ an-kivo’ i Gebà ao.
Bonke abantu bako-Israyeli basuka ezindaweni zabo baya eBhali-Thamari, kwathi abako-Israyeli ababecatheme bahlasela bephuma endaweni yabo ngasentshonalanga kweGibhiya.
34 Aa le rai-ale amo jinoboñe amy ze hene ana’ Israele ty naname i Gebà, naho nifandrapake an’ aly; fe namoea’ i Beniamine te nitotofen-kankàñe.
Izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu bako-Israyeli abakhethiweyo bahlasela iGibhiya mathupha. Ukulwa kwakunzima kakhulu ngakho kwenza abakoBhenjamini bangananzeleli ukuthi ingozi yayisisondele.
35 Aa le linafa’ Iehovà añatrefa’ Israele t’i Beniamine; le nanjamañe nte-Beniamine ro’ ale-tsi-lime-arivo-tsi-zato o ana’ Israeleo, songa mpitàm-pibara.
UThixo wamnqoba uBhenjamini phambi kuka-Israyeli, njalo ngalelolanga abako-Israyeli babulala abakoBhenjamini abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lekhulu, bonke behlome ngezinkemba.
36 Nioni’ o nte-Beniamineo amy zao t’ie gioke, ie nanao te tsy hahafitroatse amy Beniamine o ana’ Israeleo; fe niantofa’ iereo o mpamandroñe najado’ iareo marine i Gebào.
Lapho-ke abakoBhenjamini babona ukuthi babenqotshiwe. Khonapho abako-Israyeli basebevulele abakoBhenjamini isikhala, ngoba babethembe ababecatheme eduze leGibhiya.
37 Aa le nipirirìtse mb’eo o namandroñeo, nipitsike ty lay mb’e Gebà mb’eo; nikovovoke mb’eo o namandroñeo, nandafa i rova iabiy an-dela-pibara.
Abantu ababecatheme bagijimela eGibhiya ngokuphangisa, basabalala idolobho lonke balihlasela ngenkemba.
38 Ie amy zao ty viloñe tinendre añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo naho o namandroñeo, le t’ie hampionjoñe hatoeñe mandrahoñe boak’ an-drova ao.
Abantu bako-Israyeli babehlele labacathamayo ukuthi benze iyezi elikhulu lentuthu phakathi kwedolobho,
39 Aa le nitolik’ amy hotakotakey o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa niorotse nandafa naho namono ondaty telopolo varañe t’i Beniamine, le natao’ iereo ty hoe: toe mifitak’ aolon-tikañe eo iereo manahak’ i fifandraparapahañe valoha’ey.
lapho-ke abantu bako-Israyeli babezaphendukela ekulweni empini. AbakoBhenjamini basebeqalisile ukubulala abako-Israyeli (babephosa babengamatshumi amathathu), njalo bathi, “Siyabehlula njengempini yakuqala.”
40 Fe nioro-pionjoñe boak’ an-drova ao i rahon-katoeñe mijoalay, le nitolike o nte-Beniamineo: vaho hehe te nionjoñe an-katoeñe mb’an-dikerañe ey ty famorototoañe i rovay.
Kodwa kwathi izikhatha zentuthu seziqalise ukuphakama edolobheni, abakoBhenjamini baphenduka babona intuthu yedolobho lonke iqonga isiya phezulu emkhathini.
41 Nitolik’ amy zao ka o ana’ Israeleo vaho niroreke o nte-Beniamineo, fa naharendreke te nizo hankàñe.
Lapho-ke abako-Israyeli babaphendukela, abantu bakoBhenjamini batshaywa luvalo, ngoba babona ukuthi ingozi yayisibehlele.
42 Aa le niambohoa’ iareo o ana’ Israeleo, nimb’ ampatrambey mb’eo, fe nañoridañe iareo i aliy, nanjamañe boak’ am-boho ka o niavotse o rovao.
Ngakho babaleka phambi kwabako-Israyeli beqonda enkangala kodwa behluleka ukuyibalekela impi. Abako-Israyeli abaphuma emizini bababulalela khonapho.
43 Le hinoro’ iareo o nte-Beniamineo naho nañinjake tsy am-pitofàñe, vaho maro ty nandialià’ iareo pak’ e Gebà mb’am-panjirihan’ andro mb’eo.
Babahanqa abakoBhenjamini, baxotshana labo, bababhuqela eduze leGibhiya kalula ngasempumalanga.
44 Le rai-ale-tsi-valo-arivo ty nihotrak’ amo nte-Beniamineo; songa fanalolahy.
Kwafa abakoBhenjamini abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, bonke bengamaqhawe.
45 Nitolike iereo le nilay mb’ am-patrambey mb’eo mb’amy vato’ i Rimoney mb’eo; aa le tsinindro’ iareo an-dalañe mb’eo t’indaty lime-arivo, naho nangoroñe iareo pake Gidome añe vaho nandafa ondaty ro-arivo.
Sebephenduke babaleka beqonda enkangala edwaleni laseRimoni, abako-Israyeli babulala abantu abazinkulungwane ezinhlanu kulandela imigwaqo. Baqhubeka bexotshana labakoBhenjamini baze bayafika eGidomu babulala abanye njalo abazinkulungwane ezimbili.
46 Aa le nte-Beniamine ro-ale-tsi-lime-arivo ty nikorovoke tañ’ andro izay, songa mpitàm-pibara, ondaty maozatse.
Ngalelolanga kwafa abakoBhenjamini abalwa ngenkemba abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, bonke bengamaqhawe.
47 Fe nitolike naho nitriban-day mb’am-Bato Rimone am-patrambey mb’eo ty lahindefo enenjato nipalitse am-Bato Rimone ao efa-bolañe.
Kodwa abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha baphenduka babalekela enkangala edwaleni laseRimoni, lapho abahlala khona izinyanga ezine.
48 Nitolike mb’amo ana’ i Beniamineo amy zao o ana’ Israeleo le linafa’e an-dela-pibara iaby o rova’eo naho o añombe’eo ze fonga nioni’ iareo; vaho fonga namiañañ’ afo ze rova nizoeñe.
Abantu bako-Israyeli babuyela koBhenjamini bahlasela imizi yonke ngenkemba, kubalwa izifuyo lakho konke okunye abakutholayo. Yonke imizi abafika kuyo bayithungela ngomlilo.
