Xaakinnada 20

1 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu soo wada baxeen, oo shirkiina wuxuu u soo ururay sidii nin qudha, oo waxay ka soo shireen tan iyo Daan iyo xataa Bi'ir Shebac, iyo weliba dalka reer Gilecaad, oo waxay Rabbiga ugu soo shireen Misfaah.

Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

2 Markaasaa dadka madaxdiisii oo dhan ee ka socda qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ayaa isa soo dhex taagay dadka Ilaah shirkiisii, kuwaasoo ahaa afar boqol oo kun oo nin oo lug ah oo wada seefqaad ah.

And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

3 (Markaasaa reer Benyaamiin waxay maqleen in reer binu Israa'iil Misfaah tageen.) Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay yidhaahdeen, War bal noo sheeg siday xumaantanu u dhacday.

(Now the children of Benjamin had word that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Make clear how this evil thing took place.

4 Markaasuu kii reer Laawi oo ahaa ninkii qabay naagtii la dilay jawaabay oo yidhi, Waxaan imid magaalada Gibecaah oo reer Benyaamiin ay leeyihiin, oo waxaannu doonaynay inaannu ku hoyanno aniga iyo naagtaydii addoonta ahayd.

Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

5 Markaasay raggii reer Gibecaah igu kaceen, oo habeennimo ayay gurigii igu hareereeyeen, oo waxay damceen inay i dilaan, naagtaydii addoonta ahaydna way kufsadeen, wayna dhimatay.

And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

6 Oo anna intaan naagtaydii addoonta ahayd qaaday ayaan cadcad u kala googooyay, oo waxaan u diray dalkii ay reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalka u heleen oo dhan; waayo, waxay reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex sameeyeen wasakhnimo iyo xumaan.

So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

7 Hadda kulligiin reer binu Israa'iilow, bal ka tashada oo ka arrinsada.

Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.

8 Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu isku mar isla kacay sidii nin qudha, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Annaga midkayana tegi maayo teendhadiisii, oo midkayana ku leexan maayo gurigiisii.

Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

9 Laakiinse waxa aannu Gibecaah ku samaynaynaa waa kan; saami baannu ku weeraraynaa.

But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;

10 Qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan boqolkiiba toban nin baannu kala baxaynaa, kunkiina waxaannu kala baxaynaa boqol nin, tobankii kunna waxaannu kala baxaynaa kun nin, inay dadka sahay u keenaan si markii ay tagaan Gibecaahda reer Benyaamiin ay wax ugu sameeyaan xumaantii ay ku dhex sameeyeen reer binu Israa'iil aawadeed.

And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.

11 Oo sidaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu isugu soo urursadeen magaaladii, iyagoo u midoobay sidii nin qudha.

So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

12 Markaasay qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil rag u direen qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War xumaantan dhexdiinna ka dhacday waa maxay?

And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?

13 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed nimanka xunxun ee Gibecaah jooga noo soo bixiya, aannu dilnee, oo aannu reer binu Israa'iil sharka ka dhex fogaynee. Laakiinse reer Benyaamiin ma ay doonaynin inay dhegaystaan codkii reer binu Israa'iil oo walaalahood ahaa.

Now give up those good-for-nothing persons in Gibeah so that we may put them to death, clearing away the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not give ear to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.

14 Oo reer Benyaamiinna waxay iska soo urursadeen magaalooyinkii, oo waxay ku soo shireen Gibecaah, inay ku duulaan reer binu Israa'iil.

And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

15 Oo maalintaas waa la tiriyey reer Benyaamiinkii magaalooyinka ka baxay, oo waxay noqdeen lix iyo labaatan kun oo seefqaad ah, iyo weliba kuwii Gibecaah degganaa oo tiradoodii ahayd toddoba boqol oo nin oo la soo xulay.

And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

16 Oo dadkaas oo dhanna waxaa ka mid ahaa toddoba boqol oo nin oo la soo xulay oo wada gurran, oo mid waluba ka dhaadhacay wadhafka tuuristiisa oo xataa uusan la waayayn tin.

Who were left-handed, able to send a stone at a hair without error.

17 Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo reer Benyaamiin aanay ku jirinna tiradoodii waxay ahayd afar boqol oo kun oo nin oo wada seefqaad ah; oo kulligoodna waxay ahaayeen rag dagaalgal ah.

And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

18 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil kaceen, oo waxay tageen Beytel, oo Ilaah bay talo weyddiisteen. Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Yaa reer Benyaamiin marka hore noogu duulaya? Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Reer Yahuudah ha u horreeyeen.

And they got up and went up to Beth-el to get directions from God, and the children of Israel said, Who is to be the first to go up to the fight against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord said, Judah is to go up first.

19 Subaxdii dambe ayay reer binu Israa'iil kaceen, oo ag degeen Gibecaah.

So the children of Israel got up in the morning and put themselves in position against Gibeah.

20 Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil waxay u soo baxeen inay reer Benyaamiin ku duulaan; oo reer binu Israa'iilna Gibecaah bay isugu diyaariyeen inay reer Benyaamiin la dagaallamaan.

And the men of Israel went out to war against Benjamin (and the men of Israel put their forces in fighting order against them at Gibeah).

21 Markaasay reer Benyaamiin ka soo baxeen Gibecaah, oo baabbi'iyeen reer binu Israa'iil, oo maalintaas waxay ka laayeen laba iyo labaatan kun oo nin.

Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

22 Markaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil isdhiirrigeliyeen, oo mar kalay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen meeshii ay maalintii hore isku soo diyaariyeen.

But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.

23 (Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil tageen oo ilaa fiidkii ku hor ooyeen Rabbiga, oo Rabbigay weyddiisteen iyagoo leh, Miyaannu haddana u dhowaannaa inaannu walaalahayo reer Benyaamiin la dirirno? Markaasuu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Taga oo la dirira.)

Now the children of Israel went up, weeping before the Lord till evening, requesting the Lord and saying, Am I to go forward again to the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against him.

24 Oo haddana maalintii labaad ayaa reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhowaadeen reer Benyaamiin.

So the children of Israel went forward against the children of Benjamin the second day.

25 Kolkaasay reer Benyaamiin maalintii labaad kaga soo baxeen Gibecaah, oo haddana waxay baabbi'iyeen reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay ka laayeen siddeed iyo toban kun oo nin oo wada seefqaad ah.

And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.

26 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo dadkii oo dhammu wada tageen oo waxay yimaadeen Beytel, oo intay Rabbiga hor fadhiisteen ayay ooyeen, oo maalintaasna ilaa fiidkii way soomanaayeen; oo waxay Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.

Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.

27 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil haddana Rabbiga wax weyddiisteen, (waayo, wakhtigaas waxaa halkaas oolli jiray sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah,

And the children of Israel made request to the Lord, (for the ark of the agreement of the Lord was there in those days,

28 oo wakhtigaas waxaa is-hor taagi jiray Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar oo ina Haaruun ahaa), oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Miyaannu mar kale haddana ku duulnaa walaalahayo reer Benyaamiin, mise waannu ka joogsannaa? Markaasuu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Taga, waayo, berri baan gacanta idiin soo gelin doonaa.

And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was in his place before it, ) and said, Am I still to go on with the fight against the children of Benjamin my brother, or am I to give it up? And the Lord said, Go on; for tomorrow I will give him into your hands.

29 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil Gibecaah hareeraheeda dhigeen rag gaadmo ah.

So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

30 Oo haddana maalintii saddexaad reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku soo kaceen reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Gibecaah sidii mararkii hore.

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in fighting order against Gibeah as before.

31 Oo reer Benyaamiinna waxay ku soo baxeen dadkii, oo magaaladiina waa laga fogeeyey, oo waxay bilaabeen inay dadkii laayaan oo dilaan sidii mararkii hore, oo waxay ku laayeen waddooyinkii waaweynaa kuwaasoo middood Beytel loo maro, tan kalena Gibecaah loo maro, iyo duurka, oo waxay dileen in ku dhow soddon nin oo reer binu Israa'iil ah.

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, moving away from the town; and as before, at their first attack, they put to death about thirty men of Israel on the highways, of which one goes up to Beth-el and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country.

32 Markaasay reer Benyaamiin isku yidhaahdeen, Sidii mararkii hore ayay hortayada ugu le'deen. Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay yidhaahdeen, War aynu cararno, oo iyaga magaalada ka fogayno oo geeyno xagga waddooyinka waaweyn.

And the children of Benjamin said, They are giving way before us as at first. But the children of Israel said, Let us go in flight and get them away from the town, into the highways.

33 Markaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ka kaceen meeshoodii, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Bacal Taamaar; oo raggii gaadmada ahaa oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay ka soo yaaceen meeshoodii, taasoo ahayd duurka Gibecaah.

So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

34 Oo waxaa Gibecaah hor yimid toban kun oo nin oo laga soo doortay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo dagaalkiina aad iyo aad buu u sii kululaaday; laakiinse ma ay ogayn in belaayo ku soo dhow dahay.

And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

35 Markaasuu Rabbigu reer Benyaamiin ku laayay reer binu Israa'iil hortooda; oo maalintaas reer binu Israa'iil waxay reer Benyaamiin ka baabbi'iyeen shan iyo labaatan kun iyo boqol nin oo wada seefqaad ah.

Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

36 Sidaas daraaddeed reer Benyaamiin waxay arkeen in la jebiyey, waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay meel u banneeyeen reer Benyaamiin, maxaa yeelay, waxay isku halleeyeen raggii qarsoonaa ee ay Gibecaah gaadmada u geliyeen.

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

37 Markaasay raggii gaadmada ahaa soo dhaqsadeen oo haddiiba ku soo yaaceen Gibecaah, oo kuwii gaadmada ahaana intay soo baxeen ayay magaaladii oo dhan ku laayeen seef.

And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

38 Haddaba reer binu Israa'iil iyo raggii gaadmada ahaa waxaa calaamad u ahaa inay qiiq weyn ka kiciyaan magaalada.

Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,

39 Markaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil dagaalkii ka jeesteen, oo reer Benyaamiinna waxay bilaabeen inay laayaan oo dilaan, oo waxay raggii reer binu Israa'iil ka dileen in ku dhow soddon qof; waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Hubaal sidii dagaalkii horay ku le'deen hortayada.

The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

40 Laakiinse markii daruurtii ka kacday magaaladii iyadoo tiir qiiq ah ayaa reer Benyaamiin dib u fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen magaaladii oo dhammaanteed qiiq samada uga baxay.

Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

41 Markaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil soo jeesteen, oo raggii reer Benyaamiinna way yaabeen; waayo, waxay arkeen in belaayo ku dhacday iyaga.

And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

42 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay dhabarka u jeediyeen raggii reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay u carareen xagga cidlada; laakiinse dagaalkii si adag baa loola sii raacay, oo kuwii magaalooyinka ka soo baxay ayaa labadhexaadkii ku laayay.

So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.

43 Oo intay hareereeyeen ayay reer Benyaamiin sii eryadeen, oo waxay ku gaadheen meeshii ay ku nasteen taasoo ka horraysa oo xagga qorrax ka soo baxa ka xigta Gibecaah.

And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.

44 Oo waxaa reer Benyaamiin haddana ka le'day siddeed iyo toban kun oo nin, oo kulligoodna waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan.

Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

45 Oo intay jeesteen ayay u carareen xagga cidlada iyo ilaa dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon; oo waxaa jidadka waaweyn lagu sii laayay shan kun oo nin; oo waxaa loo sii raacdaystay xagga Gidcom, oo laga laayay laba kun oo nin.

And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.

46 Sidaas daraaddeed maalintaas wixii reer Benyaamiin ka le'day kulligood waxay ahaayeen shan iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah, oo kulligoodna waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan.

So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

47 Laakiinse lix boqol oo nin ayaa jeesatay oo waxay u carareen xagga cidlada iyo ilaa dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon oo waxay dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon joogeen afar bilood.

But six hundred men, turning back, went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land, and were living on the rock of Rimmon for four months.

48 Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil haddana way ku soo noqdeen reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay ku laayeen seef magaaladii oo dhan, iyo xoolihii, iyo wixii ay heleen oo dhanba; oo weliba magaalooyinkii ay heleen oo dhanna dab bay qabadsiiyeen.

And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.
