< Fakamaau 20 >

1 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai ʻo loto taha, mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, kia Sihova ʻi Misipa.
於是以色列全體子民出動,從丹到貝爾舍巴,以及基肋阿得地,全會眾集合起來好像一個人一樣,來到米茲帕上主面前。
2 Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e kau tangata tau ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe toʻo heletā.
全民眾,即以色列各支派的首領,都參與天主百姓的集會;拿刀的步兵,共有四十萬。
3 (Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo ʻalu hake ki Misipa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.) Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tala kiate kimautolu, naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻae angakovi ni?’
本雅明子孫也聽說以色列子民上到了米茲帕。以色列子民說:「這件惡事是怎樣發生的,請你們述說一遍! 」
4 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tangata Livai, ʻaia ko e husepāniti ʻoe fefine naʻe fakapoongi, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku hoko ki Kipea ʻaia ʻoku kau mo Penisimani, ko au mo hoku uaifi, ke mau mohe.
那被殺的女子的丈夫肋末人就回答說:「我與我的妾來到屬本雅明的基貝亞,要在那裏過夜,
5 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata Kipea kiate au, ʻonau ʻohofi mo kāpui ʻae fale ʻi he poʻuli, ʻonau tokanga ke tāmateʻi au: pea naʻa nau tohotoho ʻa hoku uaifi, pea ne mate ia.
基貝亞的公民起來攻擊我,夜間包圍我過夜的住宅,企圖殺害我,並把我的妾強姦致死。
6 Pea naʻaku toʻo hoku uaifi ʻo tafatafaʻi, pea ʻave ia ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻoe tofiʻa ʻo ʻIsileli: he kuo nau fai ʻae angahala mo e meʻa kovi lahi ʻi ʻIsileli.
因為他們在以色列中間行了這窮兇極惡的醜事,我遂將我的妾切成碎塊,遍送以色列基業各地。
7 Vakai, ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē; mou fakahā ʻi heni homou loto, mo hoʻomou fakakaukau.”
以色列子孫,請你們說出你們的意見和對策。」
8 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake loto taha pe ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ha tau niʻihi ki fale, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tau taha ʻe afe ki hono fale.
那時全體民眾好像一個人一樣都起來說:「我們中誰也不要返回自己的帳幕,誰也不要回自己的家,
9 Ka ko eni ʻae meʻa te tau fai ki Kipea; te tau fai ʻae talotalo ʻo ʻalu hake ki ai;
現在我們就要這樣對付基貝亞,抽籤進攻,
10 Pea te tau fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mei he toko teau ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e toko teau ʻi he toko afe, mo e toko afe mei he toko mano kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tokonaki meʻakai ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ka nau ka hoko ki Kipea ʻo Penisimani, kenau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he angakovi kuo nau fai ʻi ʻIsileli.”
由以色列各支派中,每百人抽十人,每千人抽百人,每萬人抽千人,給民眾運送軍糧;待眾人到達本雅明的基貝亞後,按照那城在以色列中間所行醜事報復它。」
11 Ko ia naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tuʻu hake ki he kolo, ʻonau kau loto taha ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.
於是以色列人聯合起來攻擊那城,彼此合作有如一人。本雅明備戰
12 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ki he faʻahinga kātoa ʻo Penisimani, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae angakovi ni ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu?
以色列眾支派差人往本雅明支派的各家說:「你們中間怎樣發生了這樣的惡事﹖
13 Pea ko eni, tuku mai kiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata, ʻae fānau ʻoe kovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipea, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, kae fakangata ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.” Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani ki he lea ʻa honau kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
現在你們把那些人,即基貝亞的無賴之徒,交出來,我們好處死他們,從以色列中鏟除這邪惡。」本雅明子孫卻不肯聽從他兄弟們以色列子民的呼聲;
14 Ka naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani mei he ngaahi kolo ki Kipea, kenau ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
本雅明子孫反而從各城聚集起來,來到基貝亞,要與以色列子民交戰。
15 Pea naʻe lau ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he ngaahi kolo, ko e toko ua mano mo e toko ono afe, ko e kau tangata naʻe toʻo heletā, ka naʻe kehe ʻae kakai ʻo Kipea, ʻaia ko honau tokolahi ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau kuo fili.
那一天,本雅明人從各城來的共計兩萬六千拿刀的,基貝亞的居民尚未計算在內。
16 Pea ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe nima hema; naʻe poto kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻi he makatā, pea naʻa mo e laulahi ʻo ha foʻi louʻulu ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai ke hala ai.
在這些人中,還有特選的七百精兵,能左右開弓,個個能用機絃拋石,毫釐不爽。
17 Pea naʻe lau hono toe ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli, kae tuku kehe ʻa Penisimani, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae heletā; ko kinautolu ni kotoa pē ko e kau tangata tau.
本雅明人除外,以色列人共有四十萬拿刀的,個個都是戰士。兩次進攻失利
18 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻonau kole ʻae poto ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻiate kimautolu ʻe ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa hake ki he tau ʻo tuʻu hake ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Siuta.”
以色列子民起身上到貝特耳,求問天主說:「我們中誰該先上去與本雅明子孫作戰﹖」上主答說:「猶大先去。」
19 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea teu tau ki Kipea.
於是以色列子明早晨起來,對著基貝亞安營。
20 Pea ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani; pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Kipea.
以色列人出來要與本雅明人交戰,遂在基貝亞前面擺陣等待他們。
21 Pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea, ʻonau tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he kau ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.
本雅明子孫從基貝亞出來迎戰,那一天殺死了兩萬兩千以色列人。
22 Pea naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli, ʻo toe fakalanga ʻae tau ʻi he potu ko ia naʻa nau tali teuteu ai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho.
以後,眾以色列又鼓起勇氣,又在前一日布陣的地方布陣。
23 (Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea kole ʻae fakakaukau ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake ʻo tauʻi ia.”)
事前,以色列子民先上到貝特耳,在上主面前哀哭,一直到晚上,然後求問上主說:「我們可否再去與我們的弟兄本雅明交戰﹖」上主答說:「可上去攻打。」
24 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho.
於是第二天,以色列子民又去攻打本雅明子孫。
25 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, pea toe tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe; ko e kau toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
本雅明人第二天也從基貝亞出來與以色列人交戰,又殺死一萬八千以色列子民,都是拿刀的人。
26 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hoko ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo tangi, ʻonau nofo ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
以色列眾子民,即全民眾,又上到貝特耳,坐在上主面前哀哭,整日禁食到晚上;以後,在上主面前獻了全燔祭與和平祭。【
27 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, (he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
那時天主的約櫃正在那裏,同時有亞郎的子孫厄肋阿匝爾的兒子丕乃哈斯在約櫃前供職。】以色列子民又求問上主說:「我們是否應再去與我們的弟兄本雅明人交戰﹖或是休戰﹖」上主答說:「你們應上去,因為我明天必將他們交在你們手中。」
28 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono haʻohaʻonga ʻo ia ʻa Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ) ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua, pe te u tukuā?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake; he te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima ʻapongipongi.”
以色列人就在基貝亞四周設下伏兵。
29 Pea naʻe fakatoka ʻae malumu ʻe ʻIsileli ke takatakai ʻa Kipea.
第三天以色列子民上去攻打本雅明子孫,在基貝亞對面布陣,像前兩次一樣。
30 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻonau fokotuʻu teuteu pē ʻakinautolu ki Kipea, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa nau fai.
本雅明子孫出來迎敵,被引出城外,在兩條大路上,─一條通往貝特耳,一條通往基貝紅,─像前兩次一樣,開始殺敵,在田野就殺死了約有三十個以色列人。
31 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ke tauʻi ʻae kakai, pea kuo matoho ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: pea naʻa nau kamata teʻia ʻae kakai, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fuofua fai, ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi, (ʻa ia ko e hala ʻe taha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e taha ki Kipea ʻi he ngoue, ) ko e kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻe toko tolungofulu nai.
本雅明子孫遂說:「他們像前次一樣,在我們面前打敗了。」但以色列子民卻說:「我們不如後退,引他們遠離城,到大路上來。」
32 Pea pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani, “Kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko hono fuofua fai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tau hola, pea tohoaki ʻakinautolu mei he kolo ki he ngaahi hala lahi.”
當以色列眾人從他們的地方起來,在巴耳塔瑪爾布陣的時候,以色列的伏兵從革巴西邊埋伏的地方衝出來;
33 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē mei honau potu, pea tali tau pe ʻakinautolu ʻi Peali tama: pea naʻe hiki ʻae malumu mei honau ngaahi potu, ʻio, mei he ngaahi ngoue mohuku ʻo Kipea,
全以色列中所選出的一萬精兵齊來攻打基貝亞,戰爭非常激烈,但是本雅明人還不知道大禍臨頭。
34 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Kipea ʻae kau tangata fili ʻe tokotaha mano mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe fakamanavahē ʻae tau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo kuo ofi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
上主在以色列前打擊本雅明人,那一天以色列子民殺死本雅明人共有二萬五千一百,都是拿刀的人。
35 Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Penisimani ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli: pea tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko nima afe mo e toko teau ʻi he kakai Penisimani: naʻe toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
這樣,本雅明子孫看出自己失敗。原來以色列人依仗在基貝亞所設下的伏兵,先在本雅明人前退怯;
36 Pea kuo mamata ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe matamata hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Penisimani, koeʻuhi naʻa nau falala ki he malumu naʻe toka ʻaia naʻa nau tuku ʻo ofi ki Kipea.
伏兵急速衝入基貝亞,衝進之後,用刀屠殺了全城的人。
37 Pea naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he malumu, ʻo ʻoho atu ki Kipea; pea ʻalu atu pē ʻae malumu, ʻo teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
原先以色列人與伏兵約定,在城內放火,以煙火上騰為號。
38 Pea ko eni, naʻe ai ʻae fakaʻilonga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli mo e malumu, koeʻuhi ke nau tutu ʻae afi ke ulo lahi mo e ʻohuafi ke ʻalu hake mei he kolo.
以色列人在戰場上撤退的時候,本雅明動手殺死以色列人約有三十人,他們想:「的確,他們如前一仗一樣,在我們前殺敗了。」
39 Pea ʻi he kamata hola ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he tau, pea kamata taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Penisimani, pea tāmateʻi ʻi he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu nai: he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki tau.”
當煙柱信號從城中上騰的時候,本雅明人轉過身來,見全城煙火沖天;
40 Pea ʻi he kamata ʻalu hake ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo mo e ngaahi pou ʻohuafi, pea tangaki kimui ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo sio kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae ulo ʻoe kolo.
那時以色列人也轉身回來;本雅明人大為驚慌,因為看見大禍臨頭,
41 Pea ʻi he tafoki ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ofo ʻae kau Penisimani: he naʻa nau vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
遂在以色列人面前轉向曠野的路上逃去,但戰士卻追蹤而至,從城裏出來的人也夾擊他們;
42 Ko ia naʻa nau fulituʻa, ki he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ki he toafa; ka naʻe lavaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tau; pea mo kinautolu naʻe hola kituʻa mei he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi honau lotolotonga.
這樣,以色列人擊潰了本雅明人,追擊他們,從諾哈蹂躪他們,直到革巴對面的東方之地。
43 Naʻe pehē ʻenau ʻākilotoa ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo takatakai, pea tuli ʻakinautolu, ʻo malakaki faingofua hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea ʻo hanga ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.
本雅明人陣亡一萬八千,都是勇士。
44 Pea naʻe tō ai ʻae kau tangata Penisimani ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe; ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
其餘的人都轉身向著曠野逃往黎孟岩石,以色列人在路上又掃蕩了他們中五千人;以後,直追到革巴,擊殺了二千人。
45 Pea naʻa nau tafoki ʻo hola atu ki he toafa ki he maka ko Limoni: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima afe; pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Kitomi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae toko ua afe ʻokinautolu.
那一日,本雅明中陣亡的,共有二萬五千人,
46 Ko ia ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tō ʻi he kakai Penisimani ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano, mo e toko nima afe ʻaia naʻe toʻo heletā: ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
所剩下的六百人,
47 Ka naʻe tafoki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻo hola ki he toafa ʻo aʻu ki he maka ko Limoni, pea ne nau nofo ʻi he maka ko Limoni ʻi he māhina ʻe fā.
轉身逃往曠野,直到黎孟岩石,在黎孟岩石中住了四個月。
48 Pea naʻe toe tafoki kimui ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo: pea naʻa nau tutu foki ʻae kolo kotoa pē naʻa nau hoko ki ai ʻaki ʻae afi.
以色列人又回到本雅明子孫那裏,把各城的人和牲畜,以及所遇見的都用刀殺盡;並將所經過的城池放火燒燬。
