Waamuzi 21
1 Wana wa Israeli walikuwa wameapa kwa kiapo kule Mispa: “Hapana mtu yeyote atakayemwoza binti yake kwa Wabenyamini.”
and man Israel to swear in/on/with Mizpah to/for to say man: anyone from us not to give: give(marriage) daughter his to/for Benjamin to/for woman: wife
2 Watu wakaenda Betheli, wakaketi mbele za Mungu mpaka jioni, wakapaza sauti zao, wakalia sana.
and to come (in): come [the] people Bethel Bethel and to dwell there till [the] evening to/for face: before [the] God and to lift: loud voice their and to weep weeping great: large
3 Wakasema, “Ee Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kwa nini jambo hili limewapata Waisraeli? Kwa nini kabila moja la Israeli limekosekana?”
and to say to/for what? LORD God Israel to be (this *LA(bh)*) in/on/with Israel to/for to reckon: missing [the] day: today from Israel tribe one
4 Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema watu wakajenga madhabahu na kuleta sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani.
and to be from morrow and to rise [the] people and to build there altar and to ascend: offer up burnt offering and peace offering
5 Ndipo Waisraeli wakasema, “Ni kabila lipi la Israeli ambalo halikufika katika mkutano kumkaribia Bwana?” Kwa kuwa walikuwa wameweka kiapo kikuu kuwa yeyote asiyefika mbele za Bwana huko Mispa, kwa hakika angeuawa.
and to say son: descendant/people Israel who? which not to ascend: rise in/on/with assembly from all tribe Israel to(wards) LORD for [the] oath [the] great: large to be to/for which not to ascend: rise to(wards) LORD [the] Mizpah to/for to say to die to die
6 Basi Waisraeli wakaghairi kwa ajili ya ndugu zao Wabenyamini, wakasema, “Leo kabila moja limekatiliwa mbali na Israeli.
and to be sorry: comfort son: descendant/people Israel to(wards) Benjamin brother: male-sibling his and to say to cut down/off [the] day: today tribe one from Israel
7 Sasa tutawezaje kuwapa mabinti zetu wawe wake zao kwa hao waliobaki maadamu tumeapa kwa Bwana kuwa hatutawapa binti zetu kuwa wake zao?”
what? to make: do to/for them to/for to remain to/for woman: wife and we to swear in/on/with LORD to/for lest to give: give(marriage) to/for them from daughter our to/for woman: wife
8 Ndipo wakasema, “Ni kabila lipi la Israeli ambalo halikufika mbele za Bwana huko Mispa?” Wakagundua kuwa hakuna hata mmoja aliyetoka Yabeshi-Gileadi aliyefika kambini kwa ajili ya kusanyiko la mkutano.
and to say who? one from tribe Israel which not to ascend: rise to(wards) LORD [the] Mizpah and behold not to come (in): come man: anyone to(wards) [the] camp from Jabesh (Jabesh)-gilead to(wards) [the] assembly
9 Walipohesabu waliona hakuna mtu yeyote wa Yabeshi-Gileadi aliyekuwepo.
and to reckon: list [the] people: soldiers and behold nothing there man: anyone from to dwell Jabesh (Jabesh)-gilead
10 Ndipo mkutano wakatuma askari 12,000 na wakawaamuru kwenda Yabeshi-Gileadi na kuwaua wale wote waishio huko, walikuwepo wake na watoto.
and to send: depart there [the] congregation two ten thousand man from son: warrior [the] strength and to command [obj] them to/for to say to go: went and to smite [obj] to dwell Jabesh (Jabesh)-gilead to/for lip: edge sword and [the] woman and [the] child
11 Wakasema, “Hilo ndilo mtakalofanya. Ueni kila mtu mume na mke ambaye si bikira.”
and this [the] word: thing which to make: do all male and all woman to know bed male to devote/destroy
12 Wakakuta kati ya watu walioishi Yabeshi-Gileadi wanawali mia nne ambao hawajakutana kimwili na mwanaume, nao wakawachukua kwenye kambi huko Shilo katika nchi ya Kanaani.
and to find from to dwell Jabesh (Gilead) (Jabesh)-gilead four hundred maiden virgin which not to know man to/for bed male and to come (in): bring [obj] them to(wards) [the] camp Shiloh which in/on/with land: country/planet Canaan
13 Ndipo mkutano ukatuma ujumbe wa amani kwa Wabenyamini huko katika mwamba wa Rimoni.
and to send: depart all [the] congregation and to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Benjamin which in/on/with crag (Rock of) Rimmon and to call: call out to/for them peace
14 Basi Wabenyamini wakarudi nyumbani mwao, wakapewa wale wanawali wa Yabeshi-Gileadi waliowaponya. Lakini hawakuwatosha wanaume wote.
and to return: return Benjamin in/on/with time [the] he/she/it and to give: give(marriage) to/for them [the] woman which to live from woman Jabesh (Gilead) (Jabesh)-gilead and not to find to/for them so
15 Waisraeli wakasikitika kwa ajili ya Wabenyamini, kwa kuwa Bwana ameweka ufa katika makabila ya Israeli.
and [the] people to be sorry: comfort to/for Benjamin for to make LORD breach in/on/with tribe Israel
16 Viongozi wa kusanyiko wakasema, “Kwa kuwa wanawake wa Wabenyamini wameangamizwa, tufanyeje ili kuwapatia wake wale wanaume waliosalia?
and to say old: elder [the] congregation what? to make: do to/for to remain to/for woman: wife for to destroy from Benjamin woman
17 Wale waliopona wa Wabenyamini ni lazima tuwape wake, ili wawe na warithi, ili kabila lolote katika Israeli lisifutike.
and to say possession survivor to/for Benjamin and not to wipe tribe from Israel
18 Hatuwezi kuwapa binti zetu kuwa wake, kwa kuwa sisi Waisraeli tumeapa kiapo hiki: ‘Alaaniwe mtu yeyote ampaye Mbenyamini mke.’”
and we not be able to/for to give: give(marriage) to/for them woman: wife from daughter our for to swear son: descendant/people Israel to/for to say to curse to give: give(marriage) woman: wife to/for Benjamin
19 Ndipo waliposema, “Tazama iko sikukuu ya kila mwaka ya Bwana katika Shilo, kaskazini ya Betheli na mashariki mwa ile barabara itokayo Betheli kwenda Shekemu, upande wa kusini wa Lebona.”
and to say behold feast LORD in/on/with Shiloh from day: year day: year [to] which from north [to] to/for Bethel Bethel east [to] [the] sun to/for highway [the] to ascend: rise from Bethel Bethel Shechem [to] and from south to/for Lebonah
20 Hivyo wakawaelekeza Wabenyamini wakisema, “Nendeni mkajifiche kwenye mashamba ya mizabibu,
(and to command *Q(K)*) [obj] son: descendant/people Benjamin to/for to say to go: went and to ambush in/on/with vineyard
21 nanyi mwangalie. Wasichana wa Shilo watakapojiunga kwenye kucheza, ninyi tokeni kwenye hayo mashamba ya mizabibu na kila mmoja akamate mwanamke mmoja toka miongoni mwa hao wasichana wa Shilo na mwende nao katika nchi ya Benyamini.
and to see: see and behold if to come out: come daughter Shiloh to/for to twist: dance in/on/with dance and to come out: come from [the] vineyard and to catch to/for you man: anyone woman: wife his from daughter Shiloh and to go: went land: country/planet Benjamin
22 Baba zao au ndugu zao waume watakapotulalamikia, tutawaambia, ‘Kuweni wakarimu kwetu, nanyi mturuhusu tuwe nao kwa kuwa hatukuweza kumpa kila mtu mke tulipopigana. Lakini ninyi pia hamna hatia, kwa kuwa hamkuwapa wao binti zenu kuwa wake.’”
and to be for to come (in): come father their or brother: male-sibling their (to/for to contend *Q(k)*) to(wards) us and to say to(wards) them be gracious us [obj] them for not to take: take man: anyone woman: wife his in/on/with battle for not you(m. p.) to give: give(marriage) to/for them like/as time be guilty
23 Basi hivyo ndivyo Wabenyamini walivyofanya. Wakati wasichana walipokuwa wakicheza, kila mtu akamkamata msichana mmoja akamchukua akaenda naye ili awe mke wake. Kisha wakarudi katika urithi wao na kuijenga upya miji na kuishi humo.
and to make: do so son: descendant/people Benjamin and to lift: marry woman: wife to/for number their from [the] to twist: dance which to plunder and to go: went and to return: return to(wards) inheritance their and to build [obj] [the] city and to dwell in/on/with them
24 Wakati huo Waisraeli wakaondoka sehemu ile na kwenda nyumbani kwao, kwenye makabila yao na kwa jamaa zao, kila mmoja kwenye urithi wake mwenyewe.
and to go: went from there son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with time [the] he/she/it man: anyone to/for tribe his and to/for family his and to come out: come from there man: anyone to/for inheritance his
25 Katika siku hizo kulikuwa hakuna mfalme katika Israeli; kila mtu alifanya kile alichoona ni sawa machoni pake mwenyewe.
in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) nothing king in/on/with Israel man: anyone [the] upright in/on/with eye his to make: do
