1 Ngalesosikhathi bonke abako-Israyeli baphuma njengomuntu munye kusukela eDani kusiya eBherishebha kanye laselizweni leGiliyadi, babuthana phambi kukaThixo eMizipha.
Hahoi Isarelnaw teh pouknae buet touh lah a kamhluem awh teh, Dan hoi Beersheba totouh Gilead ram e naw hoi Mizpah vah BAWIPA koe a kamkhueng awh.
2 Abakhokheli babantu bonke bezizwana zako-Israyeli bathatha izindawo zabo ebandleni labantu bakaNkulunkulu, amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane ehlome ngezinkemba.
Hahoi taminaw kahrawikungnaw hoi, Isarelnaw abuemlah Cathut taminaw a kamkhuengnae hmuen koe, koung a bawk awh. Tahloi ka patuem e ransaNaw 400000 touh a pha.
3 (AbakoBhenjamini bezwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babeye eMizipha.) Abako-Israyeli basebesithi, “Sitsheleni ukuthi into le embi yenzakale njani.”
Benjaminnaw ni, Isarelnaw hah, Mizpah vah a takhang awh tie a panue awh. Hahoi Isarelnaw ni bangkongmaw hettelah tailai thoenae hah khuet na sak awh vaw. Na dei pouh awh loe atipouh awh.
4 Ngakho umLevi, indoda yowesifazane lowo owayebulewe, wathi, “Mina lomkami weceleni safika eGibhiya koBhenjamini ukuba silale khona.
Levih miphun, a yu a thei pouh e a vâ ni, Benjamin miphun onae Gibeah kho roe hanelah noe laihoi a kâen.
5 Ebusuku abantu beGibhiya bangivukela bahanqa indlu, behlose ukungibulala. Badlova umkami weceleni waze wafa.

6 Ngathatha umkami weceleni, ngamquma waba yiziqayiqa, ngathumela isiqa esisodwa esigabeni ngasinye selifa lako-Israyeli, ngoba amanyala lalesisenzo sokuxhwala basenzela ko-Israyeli.
Hottelah ka yu ado ro hah ka la teh, koung ka raban. Isarelnaw ao awh nah tangkuem koe koung ka patawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel ram vah panuettho e hno hoi pathunae hno hah a sak awh.

Nangmouh Isarelnaw abuemlahoi na pouknae hah ahawi na ti awh e patetlah dei awh haw telah ati.
8 Abantu bonke basukuma njengomuntu munye, besithi, “Akakho kithi ozakuya ekhaya. Hathi, akakho kithi ozabuyela endlini yakhe.
Hahoi teh, tamimaya teh lungkânging lah a tahung awh teh, apihai mae im dawk kâen awh hanh. Apihai mae rim thung kâen awh hanh.
9 Kodwa khathesi esizakwenza eGibhiya yilokhu: Sizakuyayihlasela ngokwenza inkatho.
Hatei, Gibeahnaw tak dawk sak hane kong dawk teh cungpam rayu hoi tuk awh sei.
10 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.”
Isarelnaw tak dawk kamhnawngnae hno a sak awh dawkvah, Gibeahnaw tuk navah, taminaw hane rawca ka thak hanlah, Isarel miphunnaw thung dawk 100 touh dawk 10 touh, 1000 touh dawk 100 touh, 10,000 touh dawk 1,000 touh rawi awh sei telah ati awh.
11 Ngakho bonke abantu bako-Israyeli bahlangana, bamanyana njengomuntu munye bamelana ledolobho.
Hottelah hoi Isarelnaw pueng teh khopui tuk hanelah, lungthin buet touh lah a kamhluem awh.
12 Izizwana zako-Israyeli zathumela abantu kusosonke isizwana sakoBhenjamini, zisithi, “Yibudlova bani lobu obenziwayo phakathi kwenu na?
Hahoi, Isarel miphunnaw ni Benjamin miphunnaw pueng koe, nangmouh koe het patetlah e hno kaawm e heh, bang dawk na maw.
13 Khathesi-ke, banikeleni labobantu baseGibhiya abagangileyo ukuze sibabulale siqede ububi ko-Israyeli.” Kodwa abakoBhenjamini kababalalelanga abafowabo bako-Israyeli.
Gibeah e tami kaponaw thokhai awh. Hot patetlah Isarel ram e yon pâmen nahanelah, ka thei awh han titeh, tami a patoun awh. Hatei, Benjamin miphunnaw ni a hmaunawngha Isarelnaw ni a dei e hah ngai awh hoeh.
14 Baqoqana eGibhiya bevela emadolobheni akibo ukuba balwe labako-Israyeli.
Benjamin miphunnaw teh, Isarelnaw tuk hanlah khopui thung hoi a tâco awh teh, Gibeah vah a kâen awh.
15 Ngasikhathi sinye abakoBhenjamini babutha izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesithupha zabahlome ngezinkemba emadolobheni akibo, phezu kwabantu abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa abakhethwa kulabo abahlala eGibhiya.
Hot hnin vah, Benjaminnaw tahloi ka patuem hoi, katâcawtnaw teh, Gibeah vah a rawi awh e tami 700 touh touksin laipalah, 26,000 touh a pha awh.
16 Phakathi kwamabutho la kwakulabantu abakhethiweyo abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababengamanxele, bonke bengakhuthi abakunxwaneleyo ngesavutha.
Hotnaw hloilah, avoilah ka hno thai e tami 700 touh ao. Abuemlahoi pahlarui payang e thaw laipalah, talungdêikathoum e seng doeh.
17 Abako-Israyeli, ngaphandle kwabakoBhenjamini, babutha abantu abalwa ngezinkemba abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane, bonke bengabantu bempi.
Isarelnaw teh Benjaminnaw touksin laipalah, tahloi ka patuem thai e 400000 touh a pha awh. Hotnaw pueng teh taran ka tuk thai e seng doeh.
18 Abako-Israyeli baya eBhetheli babuza uNkulunkulu. Bathi, “Ngubani wethu ozahamba kuqala ukuyakulwa labakoBhenjamini?” UThixo wathi, “NguJuda ozahamba kuqala.”
Isarelnaw ni a thaw awh teh, Bethel lah a takhang awh. Benjaminnaw hah apinimaw hmaloe a tuk han telah Cathut koe pouknae a pacei awh. BAWIPA ni Judahnaw hmahman naseh atipouh.
19 Kusisa ekuseni, abako-Israyeli bavuka bamisa izihonqo eduzane leGibhiya.
Hottelah Isarelnaw teh amom vah a thaw awh teh, Gibeah tuk hanlah a roe awh.
20 Abantu bako-Israyeli baphuma ukuyakulwa labakoBhenjamini bema ezindaweni ezilungele ukubahlasela eGibhiya.
Isarelnaw teh Benjamin tuk hanlah a kamthaw awh teh Gibeah vah, a tuk awh.
21 AbakoBhenjamini baphuma eGibhiya babulala abako-Israyeli abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili endaweni yokulwela mhlalokho.
Hahoi Benjaminnaw teh Gibeah hoi a tâco awh teh, hot hnin vah Isarelnaw 22,000 touh a thei awh.
22 Kodwa abantu bako-Israyeli banikana isibindi babuyela njalo ezindaweni zabo lapho ababekhona ngelanga lakuqala.
Isarelnaw pueng ni tha a kâla awh teh, apasuek hnin kâtuknae hmuen koe, bout a kâtuk awh.
23 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.”
(Hahoi Isarelnaw teh a takhang awh teh, Cathut hmalah tangmin totouh a khuika awh. Ka nawngha Benjaminnaw tuk hanlah bout kathâw awh han maw telah BAWIPA koe a pacei awh. BAWIPA ni bout tuk awh ati pouh).
24 Abako-Israyeli basondela koBhenjamini ngosuku lwesibili.
Apâhni hnin Isarelnaw ni Benjaminnaw hah a hnaisin awh.
25 Ngalesisikhathi, kwathi abakoBhenjamini sebephumile eGibhiya ukuba bamelane labo, babulala abanye njalo abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, bonke behlome ngezinkemba.
Benjaminnaw hai apâhni hnin bout kâtuk hanlah Gibeah hoi a tâco awh. Isarelnaw hah 18,000 bout a thei awh. Hetnaw teh tahloi ka patuem seng doeh.
26 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.
Hottelah Isarelnaw teh a takhang awh teh, Bethel vah a cei awh teh, a khuika awh. BAWIPA hmalah a tahung awh teh, hat hnin teh, tangmin totouh rawca a hai awh. Hahoi BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae hah a poe awh.
27 Abako-Israyeli basebebuza uThixo. (Ngalezonsuku umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawukhonapho,
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koe pouknae a hei awh. ( Hatnae tueng dawk Cathut lawkkam thingkong teh haw vah a o).
28 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.”
Hatnae tueng nah Aron Capa Eleazar e capa Phinehas ni thaw ouk a tawk). Hmaunawngha Benjamin teh ka tuk awh han rah maw, ka o takhai awh han toung ou telah ati awh. BAWIPA ni takhang sin awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tangtho teh na kut dawk na poe awh han toe telah atipouh.
29 Ngakho abako-Israyeli bacathama bezungeze iGibhiya.
Isarelnaw ni Gibeah teng vah arulahoi lampawp a ta awh.
30 Bahamba bayahlasela abakoBhenjamini ngosuku lwesithathu, balungela ukuhlasela iGibhiya njengebabekwenze kuqala.
Hahoi Isarelnaw teh Benjamin tuk hanlah apâthum a kamthaw awh teh, a hmoun e patetlah Gibeah kho tuk hanlah bout a kâcai awh.
31 AbakoBhenjamini baphuma babahlangabeza baholelwa kude ledolobho. Baqalisa ukubabulala abako-Israyeli njengakuqala, kwathi ababephosa babengamatshumi amathathu bafela egcekeni emgwaqweni oya eBhetheli lomunye oya eGibhiya.
Hahoi Benjaminnaw teh, tuk hanlah kho dawk hoi a tâco awh. Ahmoun e patetlah tuk vaiteh, thei han a kamtawng awh. Law hoi Bethel lah takhangnae koe Gibeah lam koevah, Isarelnaw 30 touh a thei awh.
32 Kwathi abakoBhenjamini besithi, “Siyabehlula njengakuqala,” abako-Israyeli bona besithi, “Kasihlehleleni emuva sibaholele kude ledolobho emigwaqweni.”
Benjaminnaw ni yampa e patetlah a sung awh toe ati awh. Isarelnaw ni yawng awh vaiteh, ahnimanaw hah khopui lamthung koe tâcawt sak sei telah ati awh.
33 Bonke abantu bako-Israyeli basuka ezindaweni zabo baya eBhali-Thamari, kwathi abako-Israyeli ababecatheme bahlasela bephuma endaweni yabo ngasentshonalanga kweGibhiya.
Hottelah Isarelnaw ni amamae hmuen hah a ceitakhai teh, Baaltamar hmuen koe a kamtue awh. Hahoi arulahoi ka pawm e Isarelnaw hah a pawpnae Geba hmuen koe a tâco awh.
34 Izinkulungwane ezilitshumi zabantu bako-Israyeli abakhethiweyo bahlasela iGibhiya mathupha. Ukulwa kwakunzima kakhulu ngakho kwenza abakoBhenjamini bangananzeleli ukuthi ingozi yayisisondele.
Isarelnaw thung dawk hoi rawi e 10000 touh hah Geba kho lahoi a tho teh, puenghoi a kâtuk awh. Hatei, Benjaminnaw ni a tak dawk rawknae a pha hane panuek awh hoeh.
35 UThixo wamnqoba uBhenjamini phambi kuka-Israyeli, njalo ngalelolanga abako-Israyeli babulala abakoBhenjamini abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lekhulu, bonke behlome ngezinkemba.
BAWIPA ni, Benjaminnaw teh Isarelnaw hmalah, a tâ pouh. Hahoi Isarelnaw ni hot hnin dawk 25100 touh a thei awh. Hotnaw teh tahloi ka patuem seng doeh.
36 Lapho-ke abakoBhenjamini babona ukuthi babenqotshiwe. Khonapho abako-Israyeli basebevulele abakoBhenjamini isikhala, ngoba babethembe ababecatheme eduze leGibhiya.
Hot patetlah Benjaminnaw ni a sung awh e hah a hmu awh. Isarelnaw ni Gibeah tuk hanlah arulahoi lampawp a ta awh e hah, a kâuep awh dawkvah, Benjaminnaw hah hnuklah a kâhnawn takhai awh e doeh.
37 Abantu ababecatheme bagijimela eGibhiya ngokuphangisa, basabalala idolobho lonke balihlasela ngenkemba.
Arulahoi kapawmnaw ni Gibeah kho dawk a saueng awh teh, a khoca pueng hah tahloi hoi koung thei awh.
38 Abantu bako-Israyeli babehlele labacathamayo ukuthi benze iyezi elikhulu lentuthu phakathi kwedolobho,
Isarelnaw hoi lampawp katahungnaw lawk a kâkam awh e teh, a khopui hmai lah muengkhu sak hane doeh.
39 lapho-ke abantu bako-Israyeli babezaphendukela ekulweni empini. AbakoBhenjamini basebeqalisile ukubulala abako-Israyeli (babephosa babengamatshumi amathathu), njalo bathi, “Siyabehlula njengempini yakuqala.”
Hahoi Isarelnaw teh hnuklah bout a kâhnawn awh teh, Benjaminnaw ni a saueng awh. Isarelnaw 30 tabang a thei awh. Kâtuk pasueknae patetlah maimae hmalah a sung awh toe ati awh.
40 Kodwa kwathi izikhatha zentuthu seziqalise ukuphakama edolobheni, abakoBhenjamini baphenduka babona intuthu yedolobho lonke iqonga isiya phezulu emkhathini.
Hatei, khopui dawk hmaikhu a kangdue navah, Benjaminnaw teh a kamlang awh teh, khenhaw! khopui e hmaikhu teh kalvan lah a luen parai toe.
41 Lapho-ke abako-Israyeli babaphendukela, abantu bakoBhenjamini batshaywa luvalo, ngoba babona ukuthi ingozi yayisibehlele.
Hahoi Isarelnaw teh hnuklah a kamlang awh teh, Benjaminnaw ni runae a kâhmo awh toe tie a panue awh navah,
42 Ngakho babaleka phambi kwabako-Israyeli beqonda enkangala kodwa behluleka ukuyibalekela impi. Abako-Israyeli abaphuma emizini bababulalela khonapho.
Isarelnaw hmalah, kahrawng lah a yawng awh. Hatei, pou a pâlei awh. Hahoi, khopui thung hoi ka tâcawt e naw hah hawvah a thei awh.
43 Babahanqa abakoBhenjamini, baxotshana labo, bababhuqela eduze leGibhiya kalula ngasempumalanga.
Benjaminnaw teh he a kalup awh. A pâlei awh teh, kanîtholah Gibeah kho teng kâhatnae koe a pha awh teh, a katin awh.
44 Kwafa abakoBhenjamini abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, bonke bengamaqhawe.
Benjaminnaw teh tami 18000 touh a due awh. Abuemlahoi athakaawme taminaw hoi a tarankahawinaw seng doeh.
45 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.
Hahoi kaawm e naw ni, a ban awh teh, ramke lae Rimmon lungsong koe lah a yawng awh. Tami 5,000 touh teh lam vah hmawi a man awh. Gidom totouh pou a pâlei awh teh, tami 2,000 touh a thei awh.
46 Ngalelolanga kwafa abakoBhenjamini abalwa ngenkemba abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, bonke bengamaqhawe.
Hottelah, hat hnin Benjaminnaw kadoutnaw pueng hah, tahloi ka patuem e 25,000 touh a pha. Abuemlah hoi athakaawme taminaw hoi a tarankahawinaw seng doeh.
47 Kodwa abantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha baphenduka babalekela enkangala edwaleni laseRimoni, lapho abahlala khona izinyanga ezine.
Hatei, tami 600 touh teh, ram ka ke koelah, Rimmon lungsong koe a yawng awh teh, hawvah, thapa yung pali touh ao awh.
48 Abantu bako-Israyeli babuyela koBhenjamini bahlasela imizi yonke ngenkemba, kubalwa izifuyo lakho konke okunye abakutholayo. Yonke imizi abafika kuyo bayithungela ngomlilo.
