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 went forth all the sons of Israel, and the assembly came together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba with the land of Gilead, —unto Yahweh 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 all the people—all the tribes of Israel—presented themselves in the convocation of the people of God, —four hundred thousand footmen, that drew the sword.

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.

And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], In what manner was brought to pass this vileness?

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.

And the Levite, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said, —Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry 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 owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night, —me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that 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.

So I laid hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, —because they had wrought lewdness and impiety, in Israel.

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

Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.

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 arose all the people, as one man, saying, —No man of us will go to his tent, and no man of us will turn aside to his house.

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

Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] against it 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.

and we will take ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, —that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the impiety that it hath wrought 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 gathered together against the city, as one man knit together.

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 throughout all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, —What is this vile thing that hath been brought to pass, 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, therefore, deliver up the men—the sons of the Abandoned One—who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and vileness be consumed out of Israel. But [the sons of] Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel.

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

Then did the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together out of the cities, unto Gibeah, —to go forth to battle against the sons 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 sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day, out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men, that drew the sword, —besides, of the inhabitants of Gibeah, were numbered seven hundred chosen 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.

Out of all this people, were seven hundred chosen men, left-handed, —any one of whom could sling with a stone to a hair’s-breadth, and not miss.

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, were numbered, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, that drew the sword, —every one of these being a man 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 arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said—Judah, first.

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

And the sons of Israel arose in the morning, —and encamped 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 forth, to fight against Benjamin, —so the men of Israel set themselves in array against them, to fight against 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 came forth the sons of Benjamin out of Gibeah, —and laid low of Israel, on that day, twenty-two thousand men, to the ground.

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

And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, —and again set themselves in array for battle in the place where they had set themselves in array 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 sons of Israel had gone up, and wept before Yahweh, until the evening, and asked of Yahweh, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin, my brother? And Yahweh said, Go up against him.

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

So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on 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 Benjamin came forth to meet them out of Gibeah, on the second day, and laid low, of the sons of Israel, yet eighteen thousand men, to the ground, —all these, drew the sword.

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 went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, —and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh.

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

And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, 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, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said—Go up, for, to-morrow, will I deliver him into thy hand.

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

And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.

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

So the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, —and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as time after time.

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 sons of Benjamin came forth against the people, they were drawn away from the city, —and began to smite of the people, slaying as time after time, in the highways, whereof, one, goeth up to Bethel, and, the other, to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men in Israel.

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.

Then said the sons of Benjamin, They are, being smitten, before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israel had said—Let us flee, and draw them away from the city, 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.

And, all the men of Israel, rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array in Baal-tamar, —and, the liers in wait of Israel, began to break forth out of their place, out of the forest of Gibeah.

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 there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, —they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking 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.

Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one hundred men, —all these, drew the sword.

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 sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, —and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near 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 liers in wait, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, —and the liers in wait marched forward, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

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

Now, the appointed sign, between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, had been, —to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend out of the city.

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.

So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, —and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, before us, as in 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.

then, the cloud, began to ascend out of the city, a pillar of smoke, —and the Benjamites looked behind them, and lo! the whole city flamed up towards the heavens.

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

And, when, the men of Israel, turned, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster 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.

And, when they turned before the men of Israel unto the way of the desert, the battle, over took them, —while, as for them that came out of the cities, they began to destroy them in their midst: —

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.

they hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.

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

So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being men of valour.

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, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, —and they followed hard after them as far as Gidom, and smote of them, two thousand men.

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 then it came to pass that, all the fallen of Benjamin, were twenty-five thousand men, that drew the sword, on that day, —all these being men of valour.

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 there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff Rimmon, 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.

Thus, the men of Israel, turned against the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, beginning with the city, each and every one down to the beast, even to every one that was met with, —moreover, all the cities they came to, they set on fire.
