Mutanen Isra’ila sun riga sun yi rantsuwa a Mizfa cewa, “Ba ɗayanmu da zai ba da’yarsa aure ga mutumin Benyamin.”
2 Abantu basebesiza eBhetheli, bahlala lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu kwaze kwahlwa, baphakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
Sai mutanen suka tafi Betel, inda suka zauna a gaban Allah har yamma, suna tā da muryoyinsu suna kuka mai zafi.
3 Basebesithi: Kungani, O Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kwenzeke lokhu koIsrayeli ukuthi kusilele lamuhla isizwe esisodwa koIsrayeli?
Suka ce, ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, “Me ya sa wannan abu ya faru da Isra’ila? Don me kabila ɗaya daga Isra’ila za tă ɓace a yau?”
4 Kwasekusithi kusisa abantu bavuka ngovivi, bakha ilathi lapho, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula.
Kashegari da sassafe mutane suka gina bagade suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama.
5 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi: Ngubani ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli ongenyukelanga ebandleni eNkosini? Ngoba kwenziwa isifungo esikhulu ngalowo ongenyukelanga eNkosini eMizipa kuthiwa: Uzabulawa lokubulawa.
Sa’an nan Isra’ilawa suka ce, “Wace kabila ce cikin kabilan Isra’ila ba tă zo taro a gaban Ubangiji ba?” Gama an yi rantsuwa cewa duk wanda ya kāsa zuwa taro a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa lalle a kashe shi.
6 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebezisola ngenxa kaBhenjamini umfowabo, bathi: Kuqunyiwe lamuhla isizwe esisodwa sisuke koIsrayeli.
To, Isra’ilawa suka yi juyayin’yan’uwansu, mutanen Benyamin. “Yau an hallaka kabila daga cikin Isra’ila.
7 Sizabenzelani abaseleyo ngabafazi, ngoba thina sifungile ngeNkosi ukuthi kasiyikubanika emadodakazini ethu abe ngomkabo?
Yaya za mu ba wa waɗanda suka rage mata, da yake mun riga mun yi rantsuwa a gaban Ubangiji, ba za mu ba su ɗaya daga’ya’yanmu su aura ba?”
8 Basebesithi: Yisiphi ezizweni zakoIsrayeli esingenyukelanga eNkosini eMizipa? Khangela-ke kakuzanga loyedwa enkambeni ovela eJabeshi-Gileyadi ukuya ebandleni.
Sa’an nan suka ce, “Wace kabila ce cikin kabilan Isra’ila ba tă zo taro a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa ba?” Sai su gane cewa babu wani daga Yabesh Gileyad da ya zo sansani don taron.
9 Ngoba abantu babebaliwe, khangela-ke, kwakungekho muntu kubahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi lapho.
Gama da aka yi ƙidaya mutane, sai aka gane cewa babu wani daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad da yake a can.
10 Ngakho inhlangano yathuma khona amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili awamaqhawe amakhulu, bawalaya bathi: Hambani liyetshaya abahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi ngobukhali benkemba, labesifazana labantwanyana.
Saboda haka sai taron ya umarci jarumai dubu goma sha biyu su je Yabesh Gileyad su karkashe waɗanda suke zaune a can, duk da mata da yara.
11 Yile into elizayenza: Lizatshabalalisa wonke owesilisa laye wonke owesifazana owazi ukulala lowesilisa.
Suka ce musu, “Ga abin da za ku yi. Ku karkashe duk namiji da kowace macen da ta riga ta san namiji.”
12 Basebethola phakathi kwabahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi amankazana angamakhulu amane izintombi ezimsulwa ezingayazanga indoda ngokulala lowesilisa; basebewaletha enkambeni eShilo, eselizweni leKhanani.
Suka samu a cikin mutanen da suke zaune a Yabesh Gileyad mata ɗari huɗu da ba su taɓa kwana da namiji ba, suka kwashe su zuwa sansani a Shilo a Kan’ana.
13 Inhlangano yonke yasithumela yakhuluma labantwana bakoBhenjamini ababesedwaleni leRimoni; bamemezela ukuthula kibo.
Sa’an nan dukan taro suka aika wa mutanen Benyamin da suke a Dutsen Rimmon cewa yaƙi ya ƙare, yanzu sai salama.
14 UBhenjamini wasebuya ngalesosikhathi, babanika abesifazana ababebagcine bephila kwabesifazana beJabeshi-Gileyadi, kodwa ngokunjalo kababanelanga.
Saboda haka mutanen Benyamin suka komo a lokacin aka kuma ba su matan Yabesh Gileyad nan da aka bari da rai. Amma matan ba su ishe su duka ba.
15 Abantu basebezisola ngenxa kaBhenjamini ngoba iNkosi yayenze ukwehlukana ezizweni zakoIsrayeli.
Mutanen kuwa suka yi juyayi saboda mutanen Benyamin, domin Ubangiji ya yi gibi a cikin kabilan Isra’ila.
16 Abadala benhlangano basebesithi: Sizabenzelani abaseleyo ngabafazi, ngoba abesifazana bachithiwe koBhenjamini?
Shugabannin taron suka ce, “Da matan Benyamin da aka hallaka, yaya za mu yi da mazan da suka ragu da ba su sami mata ba?”
17 Basebesithi: Kumele kube lelifa labaphunyukileyo bakoBhenjamini, ukuze isizwe singatshabalaliswa koIsrayeli.
Suka ce, “Dole mutanen Benyamin da suka ragu su sami gādo, domin kada wata kabila a Isra’ila ta ɓace.
18 Kodwa thina kasilakho ukubanika abafazi emadodakazini ethu, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bafungile besithi: Kaqalekiswe lowo onika uBhenjamini umfazi.
Ba za mu iya ba su’yan matanmu su zama matansu ba, da yake mu Isra’ilawa mun riga mun yi wannan rantsuwa cewa, ‘La’ananne ne wanda ya ba da’yarsa aure ga mutum Benyamin.’
19 Basebesithi: Khangelani, kulomkhosi weNkosi eShilo iminyaka ngeminyaka engenyakatho kweBhetheli, lapho okuphuma khona ilanga komgwaqo omkhulu owenyuka usuka eBhetheli kusiya eShekema, langeningizimu kweLebona.
Sai suka tuna, akwai bikin Ubangiji da sukan yi shekara-shekara a Shilo ya yi kusa. Shilo yana arewancin Betel, kudu da Lebona, gabas da hanyar da take tsakanin Betel da Shekem.”
20 Ngakho balaya abantwana bakoBhenjamini besithi: Hambani liyecathama ezivinini,
Saboda haka suka cewa mutanen Benyamin, “Ku je ku ɓuya a gonakin inabi
21 libone, njalo khangelani, nxa amadodakazi eShilo esephuma ukugida imigido, khona lizaphuma ezivinini lizibambele ngulowo lalowo umfazi wakhe emadodakazini eShilo, liye elizweni lakoBhenjamini.
ku lura. Sa’ad da’yan matan Shilo suka fito waje don su yi rawa, ku fito a guje daga gonakin inabi, kowannenku yă kama wa kansa mata daga cikin’yan matan Shilo, ku tafi ƙasar Benyamin.
22 Kuzakuthi nxa oyise loba abanewabo befika besola kithi, sizakuthi kibo: Senzeleni umusa ngenxa yabo, ngoba kasibathathelanga ngulowo lalowo umfazi wakhe empini, ngoba lina kalibanikanga wona ngalesisikhathi ukuthi licaleke.
Sa’ad da iyayensu maza ko’yan’uwansu suka kawo mana ƙara, za mu ce musu, ‘Ku yi mana alheri ku bar su, domin ba mu samo musu mata ba lokacin yaƙi, ku kuma marasa laifi ne, tun da yake ba ku ba da’ya’yan matanku gare su ba.’”
23 Ngakho abantwana bakoBhenjamini benza njalo, bathumba abafazi ngokwenani labo kwabagidayo ababahlwithayo; bahamba babuyela elifeni labo, bakha imizi, bahlala kiyo.
Haka mutanen Benyamin suka yi. Yayinda’yan matan suke rawa, kowane mutum ya kama ɗaya ya yi gaba da ita ta zama matarsa. Sa’an nan suka komo ƙasar gādonsu suka sāke giggina garuruwan suka kuwa zauna a cikinsu.
24 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebechitheka besuka lapho ngalesosikhathi, ngulowo lalowo waya esizweni sakhe lakusendo lwakhe; basebephuma besuka lapho, ngulowo lalowo waya elifeni lakhe.
A lokacin, Isra’ilawa sun bar wurin suka tafi gida zuwa ga kabilansu da zuriyoyinsu, kowane zuwa gādonsa.
25 Ngalezonsuku kwakungelankosi koIsrayeli. Wonke umuntu wayesenza okwakulungile emehlweni akhe.
A kwanakin Isra’ila ba ta da sarki; kowa ya yi abin da ya ga dama.
