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.
All the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, went and gathered at Mizpah before the Lord. The assembly was united in purpose.
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.
The leaders of all the people of every Israelite tribe took their assigned positions in the assembled army of God's people, four hundred thousand soldiers 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.
The tribe of Benjamin found out that the Israelites had assembled at Mizpah. The Israelites asked, “Tell us, how could such an evil act have happened?”
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.
The Levite, the husband of the woman who had been murdered, explained, “I and my concubine came to spend the night at the town of Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin.
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.
The leaders of Gibeah came to attack me at night. They surrounded the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine and she died.
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.
I took my concubine and cut her into pieces, and I sent these pieces of her to every part of the country that had been given to Israel, because those men had done something shameful and disgusting in Israel.
7 Hadda kulligiin reer binu Israa'iilow, bal ka tashada oo ka arrinsada.
So all of you Israelites have to decide here and now what you're going to do about it!”
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.
Everyone stood up and unitedly declared, “None of us are going home to our tents! None of us are going home to our houses!
9 Laakiinse waxa aannu Gibecaah ku samaynaynaa waa kan; saami baannu ku weeraraynaa.
This is what we're going to do to Gilboah: we will attack it with our forces chosen by lot.
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.
We'll take ten men from a hundred from all the Israelite tribes, then a hundred from a thousand, then a thousand from ten thousand, to arrange food for the army, so when the troops reach Gibeah in Benjamin, they can pay them back for all these disgusting things they've done in Israel.”
11 Oo sidaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu isugu soo urursadeen magaaladii, iyagoo u midoobay sidii nin qudha.
All the men of Israel were in agreement and gathered to attack the town.
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?
The Israelite tribes also sent men throughout the territory of Benjamin, asking the people, “What are you doing about this terrible evil that has taken place 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.
Hand over these wicked men so we can execute them and get rid of this evil from Israel!” But the Benjamites refused to listen to what their fellow Israelites had to say.
14 Oo reer Benyaamiinna waxay iska soo urursadeen magaalooyinkii, oo waxay ku soo shireen Gibecaah, inay ku duulaan reer binu Israa'iil.
They left their towns and assembled at Gibeah to go and fight the other Israelites.
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.
That day a total of twenty-six thousand men armed with swords were called up from the towns of Benjamin, in addition to the seven hundred seasoned warriors from Gibeah.
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.
Making up part of this army were seven hundred experienced soldiers who used their left hands. All of them could fire a slingshot and not miss by even a hair's breadth.
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.
The Israelite army (excluding Benjamin) numbered four hundred thousand seasoned warriors, all armed with swords.
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.
The Israelites went to Bethel and asked God, “Which ones of us should be the first to go and fight the Benjamites?” “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied.
19 Subaxdii dambe ayay reer binu Israa'iil kaceen, oo ag degeen Gibecaah.
The next morning the Israelites left and set up their camp near 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.
Then they marched out for battle with the army of Benjamin, taking up their positions to attack 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.
But the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and slaughtered twenty-two thousand Israelites on the battlefield 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 Israelites encouraged one other to be confident, and they took up the same positions they had 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.)
The Israelites went and cried before the Lord until the evening and asked, “Should we go and attack the Benjamites again, our relatives?” “Go and attack them,” the Lord replied.
24 Oo haddana maalintii labaad ayaa reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhowaadeen reer Benyaamiin.
So the second day they advanced to attack the army of Benjamin.
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.
However, Benjamites came out of Gibeah once more and slaughtered eighteen thousand Israelites, all armed with swords.
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 Israelites and all their army went to Bethel, and sat crying there before the Lord. That day they fasted until evening and gave burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.
27 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil haddana Rabbiga wax weyddiisteen, (waayo, wakhtigaas waxaa halkaas oolli jiray sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah,
The Israelites asked the Lord what to do. At that time the Ark of God's Agreement was kept there.
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.
Phinehas, son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, was the priest. The Israelites asked the Lord, “Should go and we fight again against our relatives from Benjamin, or not?” “Yes, go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you,” the Lord replied.
29 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil Gibecaah hareeraheeda dhigeen rag gaadmo ah.
Then the Israelites set up an ambush around Gibeah.
30 Oo haddana maalintii saddexaad reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku soo kaceen reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Gibecaah sidii mararkii hore.
On the third day they took up the same positions they had 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.
The Benjamites came out to attack them and were lured away from the town as they began to kill Israelites as they had before. Some thirty Israelites died on the battlefield and along the roads, the one that goes towards Bethel and the other that goes back towards Gibeah.
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.
“We're defeating them, just like before,” the Benjamites shouted. But the Israelites said, “Let's run away from them and lure them away from the town towards the roads.”
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.
The main army of Israelites left where they were and took up positions at Baal-tamar, while those in the ambush west of Gibeah charged out to attack from where they had been hiding.
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.
Ten thousand seasoned Israelite warriors attacked Gibeah, and the fighting was so intense the Benjamites didn't realize they were on the brink of disaster.
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.
So the Lord defeated Benjamin before Israel. That day the Israelites killed twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites, all armed with swords.
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.
The Benjamites saw that they were defeated. The Israelites had fallen back before the Benjamites because they were confident the ambush they had put in place near Gibeah would be successful.
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.
The men from the ambush raced to attack the town, and they killed everyone in it.
38 Haddaba reer binu Israa'iil iyo raggii gaadmada ahaa waxaa calaamad u ahaa inay qiiq weyn ka kiciyaan magaalada.
The agreement was that they would send up a great cloud of smoke to show the town had fallen.
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 Israelite army turned to attack the Benjamites, who had already killed about thirty Israelites. The Benjamites were saying, “We're completely defeating them, just like the first battle!”
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.
However, when the Israelites saw the columns of smoke rising heavenwards to form a great cloud over the whole of the town,
41 Markaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil soo jeesteen, oo raggii reer Benyaamiinna way yaabeen; waayo, waxay arkeen in belaayo ku dhacday iyaga.
they turned on their enemies. The Benjamites were horrified when they saw it and realized they were doomed.
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.
They turned and ran from the Israelites towards the desert, but the battle caught up with them, and the Israelites also killed those who left the towns on the way.
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.
Chasing after the Benjamites, the Israelites surrounded them, easily overtaking them east 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 Benjamites were killed, all of them courageous warriors.
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.
Some of the Benjamites that were left ran towards Pomegranate Rock in the desert, and the Israelites killed another five thousand men on the way. They chased another group of Benjamites as far as Gidom and killed another thousand.
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 that day twenty-five thousand Benjamite were killed, all armed with swords and all courageous warriors.
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.
There were six hundred who ran away to Pomegranate Rock in the desert and they stayed there 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.
The Israelites went back into the territory of the Benjamites, and going from town to town, they killed everything: people, animals, everything they found. Then they burned down every town on their way.
