Xaakinnada 21
1 Haddaba raggii reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku dhaarteen, iyagoo Misfaah jooga, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Midkeenna waa inaanu gabadhiisa u guurin reer Benyaamiin.
Now the children of Israel had also sworn in Maspha, saying: None of us shall give of his daughters to the children of Benjamin to wife.
2 Markaasaa dadkii waxay yimaadeen Beytel, oo halkaasay Ilaah hor fadhiyeen ilaa fiidkii, oo intay codkoodii kor u qaadeen ayay aad u ooyeen.
And they all came to the house of God in Silo, and abiding before him till the evening, lifted up their voices, and began to lament and weep, saying:
3 Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, maxaa waxanu uga dhex dhaceen reer binu Israa'iil in maanta qabiil ka dhimanaado reer binu Israa'iil?
O Lord God of Israel, why is so great an evil come to pass in thy people, that this day one tribe should be taken away from among us?
4 Oo waxay noqotay maalintii dambe inay dadkii aroor hore kaceen oo ay halkaas ka dhiseen meel allabari, oo waxay bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.
And rising early the next day, they built an altar: and offered there holocausts, and victims of peace, and they said:
5 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay yidhaahdeen, Qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan yaa ka maqan oo aan iman shirka Ilaah? Waayo, waxay ku dhaarteen dhaar weyn oo ku saabsan kii aan Misfaah Rabbiga ugu soo shirin, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Hubaal kaas waa in la dilaa.
Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain.
6 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay u qoomamoodeen walaalahood reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Maanta waxaa jira qabiil ka go'ay reer binu Israa'iil.
And the children of Israel being moved with repentance for their brother Benjamin, began to say: One tribe is taken away from Israel.
7 Sidee baynu inta ka hadhay naago ugu yeelnaa, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu ku dhaarannay Rabbiga inaynaan gabdhaheenna u guurin iyaga?
Whence shall they take wives? For we have all in general sworn, not to give our daughters to them.
8 Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil qabiilkee baan Rabbiga Misfaah ugu iman? Oo bal eeg, midnaba xeradii shirka ugama iman reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad oo dhan.
Therefore they said: Who is thereof all the tribes of Israel, that came not up to the Lord to Maspha. And behold the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad were found not to have been in that army.
9 Waayo, markii dadka la tiriyey bal eeg, halkaas ma joogin ka mid ah dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad degganaa.
(At that time also when they were in Silo, no one of them was found there.)
10 Markaasaa shirkii wuxuu halkaas u diray laba iyo toban kun oo nin oo xoog leh, oo waxayna ku amreen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Taga oo seef ku laaya dadka Yaabeesh Gilecaad deggan, iyo dumarka iyo yaryarkaba.
So they sent ten thousand of the most valiant men, and commanded them, saying: Go and put the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad to the sword, with their wives and their children.
11 Oo waa inaad sidatan yeeshaan, oo aad inta lab oo dhan wada baabbi'isaan, iyo naag kasta oo nin la seexdayba.
And this is what you shall observe: Every male, and all women that have known men, you shall kill, but the virgins you shall save.
12 Markaasay dadkii Yaabeesh Gilecaad degganaa ka soo heleen afar boqol oo gabdhood oo dhallinyar oo wada bikrado ah, oo aan weligood ninna la seexan; oo waxay iyagii keeneen xeradii Shiiloh, taasoo ku tiil dalka reer Kancaan.
And there were found of Jabes Galaad four hundred virgins, that had not known the bed of a man, and they brought them to the camp Silo, into the land of Chanaan.
13 Markaasaa shirkii oo dhammu wuxuu u cid diray oo la hadlay reer Benyaamiinkii joogay dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon, oo waxay ugu bishaareeyeen nabad.
And they sent messengers to the children of Benjamin, that were in the rock Remmon, and commanded them to receive them in peace.
14 Oo markaasay reer Benyaamiin soo noqdeen, oo waxaa la siiyey naagihii iyagoo nool Yabeesh Gilecaad laga keenay ee ka hadhay naagihii dalkaas; oo weliba kuma ay filnaan.
And the children of Benjamin came at that time, and wives were given them of the daughters of Jabes Galaad: but they found no others, whom they might give in like manner.
15 Oo dadkii waxay u qoomamoodeen reer Benyaamiin, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu dillaac buu u yeelay qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil.
And all Israel was very sorry, and repented for the destroying of one tribe out of Israel.
16 Markaasaa odayaashii shirku waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal inta hadhay sidee baynu naago ugu yeelnaa, maxaa yeelay, naagihii waa laga baabbi'iyey reer Benyaamiin?
And the ancients said: What shall we do with the rest, that have not received wives? for all the women in Benjamin are dead.
17 Oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Intii reer Benyaamiin ka baxsatay waa inay dhaxal helaan, si aan qabiil uga baabbi'in reer binu Israa'iil.
And we must use all care, and provide with great diligence, that one tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
18 Habase ahaatee waa inaynaan gabdhaheenna iyaga u guurin; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku dhaarteen, oo yidhaahdeen, Inkaaru ha ku dhacdo kii gabadh u guuriya reer Benyaamiin.
For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife.
19 Oo haddana waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, sannad ka sannad waxaa jirta iidda Rabbiga ee lagu sameeyo Shiiloh, taasoo woqooyi ka xigta Beytel, oo ah dhanka bari oo waddada weyn oo Shekem aadda oo Beytel ka tagta, iyo Leboonaah xaggeeda koonfureed.
So they took counsel, and said: Behold there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord in Silo, which is situate on the north of the city of Bethel, and on the east side of the way, that goeth from Bethel to Sichem, and on the south of the town of Lebona.
20 Markaasay waxay reer Benyaamiin ku amreen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Taga oo ku gaada beeraha canabka ah dhexdooda;
And they commanded the children of Benjamin, and said: Go, and lie hid in the vineyards,
21 oo bal eega, haddii ay gabdhaha reer Shiiloh u soo baxaan inay cayaaraan, de markaas ka soo baxa beeraha canabka ah, oo nin kastaaba naag ha ka qabsado gabdhaha reer Shiiloh, oo markaas waxaad la tagtaan dalka reer Benyaamiin.
And when you shall see the daughters of Silo come out, as the custom is, to dance, come ye on a sudden out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife among them, and go into the land of Benjamin.
22 Oo markay aabbayaashood ama walaalahood noo soo cawdaan, waxaannu iyaga ku odhan doonnaa, Warroy raalli nooga ahaada iyaga; maxaa yeelay, annagu ninna dagaalkii naag ugama aannan reebin. Idinna ma aydnaan siin iyaga, haddii kalese haatan eed baad lahaan lahaydeen.
And when their fathers and their brethren shall come, and shall begin to complain against you, and to chide, we will say to them: Have pity on them for they took them not away as by the right of war or conquest, but when they asked to have them, you gave them not, and the fault was committed on your part.
23 Oo reer Benyaamiinna sidii bay yeeleen, oo waxay intii tiradoodu ahaydba naago ka qaateen kuwii cayaarayay, oo way la tageen; oo waxay tageen oo ku noqdeen dalkoodii ay dhaxalka u heleen, oo magaalooyinkiina way dhiseen oo degeen.
And the children of Benjamin did, as they had been commanded: and according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession and built up their cities, and dwelt in them.
24 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna markaasay halkaas ka tageen. Oo nin waluba wuxuu tegey qabiilkiisii iyo xaaskiisii, oo halkaas intay ka tageen ayaa nin waluba wuxuu u kacay dalkiisii dhaxalka ahaa.
The children of Israel also returned by their tribes, and families, to their dwellings.
25 Waagaasna reer binu Israa'iil boqor ma ay lahayn; oo nin walubana wuxuu samayn jiray wixii isaga la qumman.
In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
