Abbootii Murtii 21
1 Israaʼeloonni, “Nu keessaa namni tokko illee Beniyaamotatti intala isaa heerumsiisuu hin qabu” jedhanii Miisphaatti wal kakachiisanii turan.
Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe.
2 Sabnis gara Beetʼeel dhaqanii hamma galgalaatti fuula Waaqaa dura taaʼuudhaan sagalee isaanii ol fuudhanii hiqqifatanii booʼan.
And the people came vnto ye house of God and abode there till euen before God, and lift vp their voyces, and wept with great lamentation,
3 Isaanis, “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel, wanni kun maaliif Israaʼel irra gaʼe? Harʼa gosti tokko maaliif Israaʼel keessaa dhabamaa?” jedhanii iyyan.
And sayde, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to passe in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want?
4 Namoonnis guyyaa itti aanutti ganamaan iddoo aarsaa tolchanii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeessan.
And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings.
5 Ergasiis Israaʼeloonni, “Gosoota Israaʼel hundumaa keessaa gosti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin kami?” jedhanii gaafatan. Namni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin haa ajjeefamu jedhanii Miisphaatti walii kakatanii turaniitii.
Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not vp with the Congregation vnto the Lord? for they had made a great othe concerning him that came not vp to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death.
6 Israaʼeloonni garuu obboloota isaanii Beniyaamotaaf garaa laafanii akkana jedhan; “Harʼa gosti tokko Israaʼel irraa citeera.
And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
7 Egaa warra hafaniif akkamitti niitota argachuu dandeenya? Nu akka intallan keenya isaanitti hin heerumsiifne Waaqayyoon kakanneerraatii.”
How shall we do for wiues to them that remaine, seeing we haue sworne by the Lord, that we will not giue them of our daughters to wiues?
8 Ergasiis, “Gosti Miisphaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti wal gaʼii irratti hin argamin kami?” jedhan. Isaanis akka namni tokko iyyuu Yaabeesh Giliʼaadii gara qubataa wal gaʼiidhaaf hin dhufin beekan.
Also they saide, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not vp to Mizpeh to the Lord? and beholde, there came none of Iabesh Gilead vnto the hoste and to the Congregation.
9 Yeroo namoota lakkaaʼanittis akka namni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad tokko iyyuu achi hin jirre hubatan.
For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there.
10 Kanaafuu waldaan sun loltoota kuma kudha lama gara Yaabeesh Giliʼaad ergee akka isaan warra achi jiraatan, dubartootaa fi daaʼimman dabalanii goraadeedhaan fixan ajaje.
Therefore the Congregation sent thither twelue thousande men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Goe, and smite the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children.
11 Isaanis, “Wanni isin gochuu qabdan kanaa dha; dhiira hundaa fi dubartoota durbummaa hin qabne hunda ajjeesaa” jedhan.
And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall vtterly destroye all the males and all the women that haue lien by men.
12 Isaanis namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaad keessa jiraatan keessaa dubarran takkumaa dhiirri bira hin gaʼin dhibba afur argatan; gara biyya Kanaʼaan kan qubata Shiilootti argamu sanaattis isaan fidan.
And they found among the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead foure hundreth maides, virgins that had knowne no man by lying with any male: and they brought them vnto the hoste to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 Ergasiis waldaan guutuun Beniyaamota kattaa Rimoon bira jiraatanitti waamicha nagaa ergan.
Then the whole Congregation sent and spake with the children of Beniamin that were in the rocke of Rimmon, and called peaceably vnto them:
14 Beniyaamonnis yeroo sanatti ni dachaʼan; dubartoonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad kanneen duʼa jalaa baraaraman akka niitota isaaniif taʼaniif kennamaniif; garuu hunda isaanii wal hin geenye.
And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: but they had not so ynough for them.
15 Namoonnis sababii Waaqayyo gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti gargari baʼumsa uumeef Beniyaamiif gaddan.
And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16 Maanguddoonni waldaas akkana jedhan; “Dubartoonni Beniyaam dhumaniiru; egaa dhiirota hafaniif akkamitti niitota argachuu dandeenya?
Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed.
17 Akka gosti tokko Israaʼel keessaa hin badneef Beniyaamonni hafan dhaaltota argachuu qabu.
And they saide, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
18 Nu Israaʼeloonni sababii, ‘Namni intala isaa Beniyaamotatti heerumsiisu haa abaaramu’ jennee kakanneef, intallan keenya niitummaadhaan isaanii kennuu hin dandeenyu.
Howbeit we may not giue them wiues of our daughters: for the childre of Israel had sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wise to Beniamin.
19 Kunoo ayyaanni Waaqayyoo tokko wagguma waggaan Shiilootti ni ayyaaneffama; Shiiloon kunis Beetʼeel irraa gara kaabaatti, karaa Beetʼeelii baʼee Sheekemitti geessu irraa gara baʼaatti akkasumas Leboonaa irraa gara kibbaatti argamti.”
Therefore they said, Beholde, there is a feast of the Lord euery yere in Shiloh in a place, which is on the Northside of Beth-el, and on the Eastside of the way that goeth vp from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the South of Lebonah.
20 Kanaafuu isaan akkana jedhanii Beniyaamota gorsan; “Dhaqaa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessa riphaa eeggadhaa.
Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes.
21 Ilaalaa; yommuu dubarri Shiiloo sirbaaf baʼanitti iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessaa baʼaatii tokkoo tokkoo keessaniif niitii tokko tokko qabaadhaatii gara Beniyaamitti deebiʼaa.
And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catche you euery man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and goe into the land of Beniamin.
22 Yommuu abbootiin isaanii yookaan obboloonni isaanii nutti himatanitti, ‘Sababii nu yeroo waraanaatti tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif niitii arguu hin dandaʼiniif isin isaan gargaaruudhaan dhiifama nuu godhaa; isinis sababii jaallattanii dubara keessan hin kenniniif balleessaa hin qabdan’ jennaan.”
And when their fathers or their brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wil say vnto them, Haue pitie on them for our sakes, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in the warre, and because ye haue not giuen vnto them hitherto, ye haue sinned.
23 Beniyaamonnis akkuma isaanitti himame sana godhan; utuma dubarran sirbaa jiranuus tokkoon tokkoon namaa tokko tokko butee akka niitii isaa taatuuf fudhatee qajeele. Ergasiis gara dhaala isaaniitti deebiʼanii magaalaa isaanii haaromfatanii achi jiraatan.
And the children of Beniamin did so, and tooke wiues of them that danced according to their nomber: which they tooke, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
24 Yeroo sanattis ijoolleen Israaʼel iddoo sanaa kaʼanii gara mana isaanii, gara gosa isaanii, gara lammii isaaniitii fi gara dhaala isaaniitti deebiʼan.
So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, euery man to his tribe, and to his familie, and went out from thence euery man to his inheritance.
25 Bara sana Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture; tokkoon tokkoon namaa waanuma isatti tole hojjeta ture.
In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.
