Жудекэторий 21
1 Бэрбаций луй Исраел журасерэ ла Мицпа, зикынд: „Ничунул дин ной сэ ну-шь дя фата дупэ ун бениамит.”
When the Israeli men gathered at Mizpah [before the battle started], they vowed, “None of us will ever allow one of our daughters to marry any man from the tribe of Benjamin!”
2 Попорул а венит ла Бетел ши а стат ынаинтя луй Думнезеу пынэ сяра. Ау ридикат гласул, ау вэрсат мулте лакримь
But now the Israelis went to Bethel and they cried loudly to Yahweh all day, until the sun went down.
3 ши ау зис: „Доамне, Думнезеул луй Исраел, пентру че с-а ынтымплат аша чева ын Исраел, сэ липсяскэ астэзь о семинцие ынтрягэ дин Исраел?”
They kept saying, “Yahweh, God of us Israeli people, [it is as though] one of the tribes of us Israelis does not exist any more! (Why has this happened to us?/It is terrible that this has happened to us!)” [RHQ]
4 А доуа зи, попорул с-а скулат дис-де-диминяцэ, а зидит аколо ун алтар ши а адус ардерь-де-тот ши жертфе де мулцумире.
Early the next morning the people built an altar. Then they completely burned some sacrifices [on the altar], and also offered other sacrifices to maintain fellowship with God.
5 Копиий луй Исраел ау зис: „Чине динтре тоате семинцииле луй Исраел ну с-а суит ла адунаре ынаинтя Домнулуй?” Кэч фэкусерэ ун журэмынт маре ымпотрива орькуй ну с-ар суи ла Домнул, ла Мицпа, ши зисесерэ: „Сэ фие педепсит ку моартя.”
Then, because they had vowed that anyone who did not meet with them at Mizpah [to help fight the men of the tribe of Benjamin] would be killed, they asked among themselves, “Were there any of the tribes of Israel who did not come to Mizpah to meet with us in the presence of Yahweh?”
6 Копиилор луй Исраел ле пэря рэу де фрателе лор Бениамин ши зичяу: „Астэзь а фост нимичитэ о семинцие дин Исраел.
The Israelis felt sorry for their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Benjamin. They said, “Today one of our Israeli tribes (has disappeared/no longer exists).
7 Кум сэ фачем рост де невесте челор че ау рэмас ку вяцэ, фииндкэ ам журат пе Домнул сэ ну ле дэм фетеле ноастре де невесте?”
Yahweh heard us solemnly declare that we would not allow any of our daughters to marry any man from the tribe of Benjamin. What can we do to make certain that the men of the tribe of Benjamin who were not killed will have wives?”
8 Ей ау зис деч: „Есте чинева динтре семинцииле луй Исраел каре сэ ну се фи суит ла Домнул ла Мицпа?” Ши нимень дин Иабес дин Галаад ну венисе ын табэрэ, ла адунаре.
Then [one of] them asked, “What group from any of the tribes of Israel did not send any men here to Mizpah?”
9 Ау фэкут нумэрэтоаря попорулуй, ши ну ера аколо ничунул дин локуиторий дин Иабес дин Галаад.
[They realized that] when the soldiers were counted, there was no one from Jabesh-Gilead [city] who had come there.
10 Атунч, адунаря а тримис ымпотрива лор доуэспрезече мий де осташь, дынду-ле порунка ачаста: „Дучеци-вэ ши тречець прин аскуцишул сабией пе локуиторий дин Иабес дин Галаад, ку фемеиле ши копиий.
So all the Israelis decided to send 12,000 very good soldiers to Jabesh-Gilead to kill the people there with their swords, even to kill the married women and children.
11 Ятэ че сэ фачець: сэ нимичиць ку десэвыршире орьче бэрбат ши орьче фемее каре а куноскут ымпреунаря ку бэрбат.”
[They told this to those men]: “This is what you must do: You must kill every man in Jabesh-Gilead. You must also kill every married woman. [But do not kill the unmarried women].”
12 Ау гэсит ынтре локуиторий дин Иабес дин Галаад патру суте де фете фечоаре, каре ну се кулкасерэ ку бэрбат, ши ле-ау адус ын табэрэ ла Сило, каре есте ын цара Канаанулуй.
So those soldiers [went to Jabesh-Gilead and killed all the men, married women, and children. But they] found 400 unmarried young women there. So they brought them to their camp at Shiloh, in Canaan, [across the river from the Gilead area that belonged to the tribe of Benjamin].
13 Тоатэ адунаря а тримис соль сэ ворбяскэ фиилор луй Бениамин каре ерау ла стынка Римон ши сэ ле вестяскэ пачя.
Then all the Israelis [who had gathered] sent a message to the 600 men who were at Rimmon Rock. They said that they would like to make peace with them.
14 Ын тимпул ачела, бениамиций с-ау ынторс ши ли с-ау дат де невесте ачеля пе каре ле лэсасерэ ку вяцэ дин фемеиле дин Иабес дин Галаад. Дар ну ерау дестуле.
So the men came back from Rimmon Rock. The Israelis gave to them the women from Jabesh-Gilead whom they had not killed. But there were [only 400 women. But there were] not enough women [for those 600 men].
15 Попорулуй ый пэря рэу де Бениамин, кэч Домнул фэкусе о спэртурэ ын семинцииле луй Исраел.
The Israelis [still] felt sorry for the men of the tribe of Benjamin, because Yahweh had (decimated/almost wiped out) one of the Israeli tribes.
16 Бэтрыний адунэрий ау зис: „Кум сэ фачем рост де невесте пентру чей рэмашь, кэч фемеиле луй Бениамин ау фост нимичите?”
The Israeli leaders said, “We have killed all the married women of the tribe of Benjamin. Where can we get women to be wives of the men who are still alive?
17 Ши ау зис: „Чей че ау май рэмас дин Бениамин сэ-шь пэстрезе моштениря, ка сэ ну се штяргэ о семинцие дин Исраел.
These men must have wives to give birth to children, in order that their families will continue. If that does not happen, all the people of one of the tribes of Israel will die.
18 Дар ной ну путем сэ дэм пе фетеле ноастре дупэ ей, кэч копиий луй Исраел ау журат, зикынд: ‘Блестемат сэ фие чине ва да о невастэ унуй бениамит!’
But we cannot allow our daughters to marry these men, because we vowed that Yahweh will curse anyone who gives one of his daughters to become a wife of any man of the tribe of Benjamin.”
19 Ши ау зис: ‘Ятэ, ын фиекаре ан есте о сэрбэтоаре а Домнулуй ла Сило, каре есте ла мязэноапте де Бетел, ла рэсэритул друмулуй каре суе дин Бетел ла Сихем ши ла мязэзи де Лебона.’”
Then [one of] them (had an idea/thought of something that they could do). He said, “Every year there is a festival to honor Yahweh at Shiloh, which is north of Bethel and east of the road that extends from Bethel to Shechem, and it is south of Lebonah [city].”
20 Апой ау дат урмэтоаря порункэ фиилор луй Бениамин: „Дучеци-вэ ши стаць ла пындэ ын вий!
So the Israeli leaders told the men of the tribe of Benjamin, “[When it is the time for that festival], go to Shiloh and hide in the vineyards.
21 Уйтаци-вэ ши, кынд вець ведя пе фетеле дин Сило ешинд сэ жоаче, сэ ешиць дин вий, сэ вэ луаць фиекаре кыте о невастэ дин фетеле дин Сило ши сэ вэ дучець ын цара луй Бениамин.
Keep watching for the young women to come out of the city to dance. [When they come out], all of you should run out of the vineyards. Each of you can seize one of the young women of Shiloh. Then you can all return to your homes [with those women].
22 Дакэ пэринций сау фраций лор вор вени сэ се плынгэ ла ной, ле вом спуне: ‘Даци-ни-ле ноуэ, кэч н-ам луат кыте о невастэ де фиекаре ын рэзбой. Ну вой ли ле-аць дат: нумай атунч аць фи виноваць.’”
If their fathers or brothers come to us and complain [about what you have done], we will say to them, ‘Be kind to the men of the tribe of Benjamin. When we fought them, we did not leave any women alive to become their wives, and you did not give those young women to the men from the tribe of Benjamin. [They stole them]. So you will not be guilty, [even though you said that you would not allow any of your daughters to marry one of them].’”
23 Фиий луй Бениамин ау фэкут аша: шь-ау луат невесте, дупэ нумэрул лор, динтре жукэтоареле пе каре ле-ау рэпит, апой ау плекат ши с-ау ынторс ын моштениря лор; ау зидит ярэшь четэциле ши ау локуит аколо.
So that is what the men of the tribe of Benjamin did. [They went to Shiloh at the time of the festival]. And when the young women were dancing, each man caught one of them and took her away and married her. Then they took their wives back to the land that God had given to them. They rebuilt their cities [that had been burned down], and they lived there.
24 Ши, ын ачелашь тимп, копиий луй Исраел ау плекат де аколо фиекаре ын семинция луй ши ын фамилия луй ши с-а ынторс фиекаре ын моштениря луй.
The other Israelis went to their homes in the areas where their tribes and clans lived, the areas that God had allotted to them.
25 Пе время ачея, ну ера ымпэрат ын Исраел, фиекаре фэчя че-й плэчя.
At that time, the Israeli people did not have a king. Everyone did what they themselves thought was right.
