Abbootii Murtii 20
1 Israaʼeloonni Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti argaman akkasumas kanneen biyya Giliʼaad keessa jiraatan hundi akka nama tokkootti baʼanii iddoo Miisphaa jedhamutti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti walitti qabaman.
Then all the sons of Israel went out. And the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Jehovah at Mizpah.
2 Hooggantoonni namoota gosoota Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼii saba Waaqaa irratti argaman; loltoonni kuma dhibba afur goraadee hidhatanii turan.
And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew a sword.
3 Namoonni gosa Beniyaam akka Israaʼeloonni gara Miisphaatti ol baʼan dhagaʼan. Namoonni Israaʼelis, “Mee akka wanni hamaan kun itti hojjetame nutti himaa” jedhan.
(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?
4 Lewwichi dhirsi dubartii ajjeefamte sanaas akkana jedhee deebise; “Anii fi saajjatoon koo achi buluuf biyya Beniyaam Gibeʼaa dhufne.
And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 Namoonni Gibeʼaas na ajjeesuuf halkan mana ani bule sana marsan. Isaanis saajjatoo koo humnaan gudeedan; isheenis ni duute.
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night. They thought to have me slain, and they forced my concubine, and she is dead.
6 Anis reeffa saajjatoo koo fuudhee gargari kukkutee gara biyyoota dhaala gosoota Israaʼel hundaatti erge; isaan Israaʼel keessatti waan jibbisiisaa fi salphisaa akkasii hojjetaniiruutii.
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
7 Ammas isin Israaʼeloonni hundinuu irratti mariʼadhaatii murtii keessan kennaa.”
Behold, ye sons of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.
8 Namoonni hundi akkuma nama tokkootti kaʼanii akkana jedhan; “Nu keessaa namni tokko iyyuu gara mana isaatti hin galu. Nu keessaa namni tokko iyyuu mana isaatti hin deebiʼu.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn to his house.
9 Wanni nu Gibeʼaa goonu garuu kana: Akkuma ixaan nuu baʼetti itti duuluu dha.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot,
10 Akka isaan warra duulaniif waan isaan nyaatan fidaniif, gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa nama dhibba tokko keessaa nama kudhan, nama kuma tokko keessaa nama dhibba tokko, nama kuma kudhan keessaa nama kuma tokko ni fudhanna. Duulli kunis yeroo Gibeʼaa ishee Beniyaam keessa jirtu sana qaqqabutti waan isaan Israaʼel irratti hojjetan sanaaf adabbii barbaachisaa ni kenna.”
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch provision for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Kanaafuu namoonni Israaʼel hundi walitti qabamanii akkuma nama tokkootti magaalattiitti duulan.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 Gosoonni Israaʼel gara gosa Beniyaam hundaatti akkana jedhanii nama ergan; “Yakki hamaan gidduu keessanitti hojjetame kun maali?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has come to pass among you?
13 Ammas akka nu isaan barbadeessinee Israaʼel keessaa hammina balleessinuuf namoota Gibeʼaa hamoo sana dabarsaa nutti kennaa.” Beniyaamonni garuu Israaʼeloota firoota isaanii dhagaʼuu didan.
Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brothers the sons of Israel.
14 Isaanis Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf magaalaawwan isaaniitii tokkummaadhaan gara Gibeʼaa dhufan.
And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.
15 Beniyaamonni yeruma tokkotti loltoota filatamoo Gibeʼaa keessa jiraatan dhibba torba irratti namoota goraadee hidhatan kuma digdamii jaʼa magaalaawwan isaaniitii hiriirsan.
And the sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew a sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Loltoota filatamoo kanneen hunda keessaa dhibba torba bitaachota tokkoon tokkoon isaanii rifeensatti dhagaa furrisanii hin dhabne turan.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed. Every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
17 Israaʼeloonni Beniyaamota malee iyyuu namoota goraadee hidhatan kuma dhibba afur qabu turan; kunneen hundinuu gootota turan.
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew a sword. All these were men of war.
18 Israaʼeloonni Beetʼeelitti ol baʼanii, “Beniyaamota waraanuudhaaf nu keessaa jalqabatti eenyu haa baʼuu?” jedhanii Waaqa gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan jalqabatti haa baʼu” jedhee deebise.
And the sons of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. And they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the sons of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
19 Ijoolleen Israaʼelis ganamaan kaʼanii Gibeʼaa marsan.
And the sons of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Namoonni Israaʼel Beniyaamota waraanuuf baʼanii Gibeʼaatti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin. And the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21 Beniyaamonnis Gibeʼaadhaa baʼanii gaafuma sana dirree waraanaa irratti Israaʼeloota kuma digdamii lama fixan.
And the sons of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 Namoonni Israaʼel garuu wal jajjabeessanii iddoodhuma gaafa duraa itti hiriiran sanatti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
23 Israaʼeloonni ol baʼanii hamma galgalaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti booʼan. Isaanis, “Nu obboloota keenya Beniyaamota waraanuuf amma illee ol baanuu?” jedhanii Waaqayyoon gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Itti ol baʼaa” jedhee deebise.
And the sons of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until evening. And they asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
24 Israaʼeloonni guyyaa lammaffaatti gara Beniyaamotaatti dhiʼaatan.
And the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin the second day.
25 Yeroo kanatti, Beniyaamonni Gibeʼaadhaa itti baʼanii Israaʼeloota goraadee hidhatan kuma kudha saddeet galaafatan.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.
26 Ergasii ijoolleen Israaʼel, sabni hundinuu Beetʼeelitti ol baʼanii achitti booʼaa fuula Waaqayyoo dura tataaʼan. Hamma galgalaattis soomanii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessan.
Then all the sons of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until evening, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.
27 Israaʼeloonnis gorsa Waaqayyoo gaafatan. Bara sana taabonni kakuu Waaqaa achuma ture;
And the sons of Israel asked of Jehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar, ilmi Aroon fuula isaa dura tajaajilaa ture. Isaanis, “Nu amma illee obboloota keenya Beniyaamota waraanuuf haa baanu moo haa dhiifnu?” jedhanii gaafatan. Waaqayyos, “Baʼaa; ani bori isaan dabarsee harka keessanitti kennaatii” jedheen.
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver him into thy hand.
29 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni naannoo Gibeʼaatti riphan.
And Israel set an ambushment against Gibeah round about.
30 Isaanis guyyaa sadaffaatti Beniyaamotatti duulanii akkuma duraan godhan sana Gibeʼaa waraanuudhaaf iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 Beniyaamonnis isaan waraanuuf baʼanii magaalaa sana irraa fagaatan. Akkuma kanaan duraas Israaʼeloota dhaʼuu jalqaban; daandiiwwan Beetʼeeliitii fi Gibeʼaa irrattis namoota Israaʼel gara soddoma ajjeesan.
And the sons of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. And they began to smite and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field about thirty men of Israel.
32 Beniyaamonnis, “Kunoo nu akkuma kanaan duraa isaan moʼachaa jirra” jedhan; Israaʼeloonni immoo, “Kottaa nu gara dugda duubaatti deebinee akka isaan magaalaa keessaa baʼan goonaa” jedhan.
And the sons of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us as at the first. But the sons of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.
33 Namoonni Israaʼel hundinuu iddoo turanii kaʼanii Baʼaal Taamaaritti iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan; waraanni Israaʼel kan riphee eegaa tures karaa lixa Gibeʼaatiin itti baʼe.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar, and the ambushment of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
34 Sana booddees namoonni Israaʼel filatamoon kuma kudhan Gibeʼaa irratti waraana banan. Waraanni sunis akka malee cimaa ture; Beniyaamonni garuu akka badiin isaanitti dhiʼaatee jiru hin beekne ture.
And there came opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
35 Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti Beniyaamota dhaʼe; Israaʼeloonni gaafas Beniyaamota 25,100 kanneen hundi isaanii goraadee hidhatan fixan.
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and a hundred men. All these drew the sword.
36 Kanaafuu Beniyaamonni akka moʼataman hubatan. Yeroo kanatti Israaʼeloonni waraana isaanii kan naannoo Gibeʼaatti riphee jiru sana abdatanii waan moʼataman fakkeessanii Beniyaamotaaf iddoo gad dhiisan.
So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin because they trusted to the ambushment whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 Waraanni Israaʼel riphee ture sunis yeruma tokkoon cabsee Gibeʼaa seenee magaalattii goraadeedhaan dhaʼe.
And the ambushment hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah. And the ambushment drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Namoonni Israaʼelis akka waraanni riphee ture sun magaalaa keessaa mallattoo duumessa aaraa guddaa isaa argisiisu walii galanii turan;
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushment was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 akkasiinis namoonni Israaʼel gara lolaatti dachaʼan. Beniyaamonni waraana jalqabanii Israaʼeloota soddoma ajjeesan; kanaafuu, “Nu akkuma yeroo jalqabaa sana isaan moʼachaa jirra” jedhan.
And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons, for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us as in the first battle.
40 Garuu yommuu magaalattii keessaa aarri ol baʼuu jalqabetti Beniyaamonni of irra garagalanii aara guutummaa magaalattii keessaa samiitti ol baʼaa jiru argan.
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
41 Kana irratti namoonni Israaʼel Beniyaamotatti garagalan; Beniyaamonni akka balaan isaanitti dhufe beekanii akka malee sodaataniitii.
And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that evil had come upon them.
42 Kanaafuu isaan gara gammoojjiitti fuula deeffatanii Israaʼeloota duraa baqatan. Garuu jalaa baʼuu hin dandeenye. Namoonni Israaʼel kanneen magaalaa sanaa baʼanii dhufan achitti isaan fixan.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness. But the battle followed hard after them, and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of it.
43 Isaanis jara marsanii ariʼuudhaan fuullee baʼa Gibeʼaatti isaan moʼatan.
They enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trod them down at their resting-place, as far as opposite Gibeah toward the sunrise.
44 Loltoonni Beniyaam jajjaboon kuma kudha saddeet ni galaafataman.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men. All these were men of valor.
45 Utuu isaan garagalanii gara gammoojjii kattaa Rimoonitti baqachaa jiranuu namoonni kuma shan karaa irratti jalaa dhuman. Israaʼeloonni ammas hamma Gidoomitti warra hafan duukaa buʼanii nama kuma lama ajjeesan.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. And they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.
46 Gaafas Beniyaamota goraadee hidhatan kuma digdamii shanitu ajjeefame; hundi isaaniis loltoota bebeekamoo turan.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor.
47 Namoonni dhibba jaʼa garuu garagalanii gara gammoojjiitti kattaa Rimoonitti baqatan; jiʼa afuris achi turan.
But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48 Namoonni Israaʼel immoo gara Beniyaamotaatti dachaʼanii guutummaa magaalaa sanaa, horii fi waan achitti argan hunda goraadeen fixan. Magaalaa itti dhufan hundas ibiddaan guban.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found. Moreover they set on fire all the cities which they found.
