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 children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD in Mizpeh.
2 Hooggantoonni namoota gosoota Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼii saba Waaqaa irratti argaman; loltoonni kuma dhibba afur goraadee hidhatanii turan.
And the chief 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 that drew 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 children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
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 that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth 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 surrounded the house upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that 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 are all children of Israel; 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 into his house.
9 Wanni nu Gibeʼaa goonu garuu kana: Akkuma ixaan nuu baʼetti itti duuluu dha.
But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
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 an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch provisions 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 is done 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 us the men, the perverted men, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and remove the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
14 Isaanis Israaʼeloota waraanuudhaaf magaalaawwan isaaniitii tokkummaadhaan gara Gibeʼaa dhufan.
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children 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 children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew 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 lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an 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 that drew 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 children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
19 Ijoolleen Israaʼelis ganamaan kaʼanii Gibeʼaa marsan.
And the children of Israel rose 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 put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 Beniyaamonnis Gibeʼaadhaa baʼanii gaafuma sana dirree waraanaa irratti Israaʼeloota kuma digdamii lama fixan.
And the children of Benjamin came forth from Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and 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 their battle again in array in the place where they put 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 children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
24 Israaʼeloonni guyyaa lammaffaatti gara Beniyaamotaatti dhiʼaatan.
And the children of Israel came near against the children 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 children 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 children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Israaʼeloonnis gorsa Waaqayyoo gaafatan. Bara sana taabonni kakuu Waaqaa achuma ture;
And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (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 children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thy hand.
29 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni naannoo Gibeʼaatti riphan.
And Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.
30 Isaanis guyyaa sadaffaatti Beniyaamotatti duulanii akkuma duraan godhan sana Gibeʼaa waraanuudhaaf iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put 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 children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, 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 children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them 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 out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and those of Israel who were in ambush came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
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 against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was fierce: but they knew not that evil was near them.
35 Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti Beniyaamota dhaʼe; Israaʼeloonni gaafas Beniyaamota 25,100 kanneen hundi isaanii goraadee hidhatan fixan.
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an 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 children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the ones lying in ambush which they had set beside Gibeah.
37 Waraanni Israaʼel riphee ture sunis yeruma tokkoon cabsee Gibeʼaa seenee magaalattii goraadeedhaan dhaʼe.
And those in ambush hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the ones lying in ambush 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 there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush, that they should make a great flame with smoke to ascend up from 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 when the men of Israel retired in the battle, 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 flame began to ascend up from the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
41 Kana irratti namoonni Israaʼel Beniyaamotatti garagalan; Beniyaamonni akka balaan isaanitti dhufe beekanii akka malee sodaataniitii.
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: 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 overtook them; and those who came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
43 Isaanis jara marsanii ariʼuudhaan fuullee baʼa Gibeʼaatti isaan moʼatan.
Thus they inclosed the Benjamites on all sides, and chased them, and trod them down with ease opposite Gibeah toward the sunrising.
44 Loltoonni Beniyaam jajjaboon kuma kudha saddeet ni galaafataman.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
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 pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
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 and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
47 Namoonni dhibba jaʼa garuu garagalanii gara gammoojjiitti kattaa Rimoonitti baqatan; jiʼa afuris achi turan.
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock 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 children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
