Atemmufoɔ 21
1 Israelfoɔ aka ntam wɔ Mispa sɛ, wɔremfa wɔn mmammaa mma ɔbarima biara a ɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo mu awadeɛ.
Jo-Israel nosekwongʼore e piny Mizpa niya, “Onge kata achiel kuomwa mabiro chiwo nyare mondo okendi gi ja-Benjamin.”
2 Nnipa no kɔɔ Bet-El kɔtenaa Onyankopɔn anim kɔsii anwummerɛ, maa wɔn nne so, suu dendeenden kaa sɛ,
Ji nodhi Bethel, kama ne gibetie e nyim Nyasaye nyaka odhiambo, ka gitingʼo dwondgi kendo ka giywak malit.
3 “Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, adɛn enti na saa asɛm yi asi? Seesei yɛn mmusuakuo no mu baako ayera!”
Ne giywak niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, angʼo momiyo ma osetimore ne Israel? Angʼo ma omiyo dhoot achiel nyalo lal e Israel kawuono?”
4 Adekyeɛ mu no, nnipa no tuaa nhema sii afɔrebukyia, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.
Kinyne gokinyi ji nogero kendo mar misango ma gichiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.
5 Wɔbisaa sɛ, “Abusuakuo bi wɔ hɔ a wannya ɔnanmusini ɛberɛ a yɛkɔɔ nhyiamu kɛseɛ wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Mispa no anaa?” Saa ɛberɛ no, na wɔaka ntankɛseɛ wɔ Awurade anim sɛ, obiara a wamma no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔwu.
Eka jo-Israel nopenjo niya, “En dhoot mane e kind dhout Israel duto mapok ochokore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Nimar ne gisekwongʼore ni dhoot moro amora ma ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka negi.
6 Na Israelfoɔ no dii yea wɔ Benyaminfoɔ no ho kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ yi, abusuakuo baako afiri yɛn mu; na nʼase reyɛ atɔre.
Koro jo-Israel ne nigi kuyo nikech owetegi, ma jo-Benjamin. Negiwacho niya, “Kawuononi dhood Israel achiel olal.
7 Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛanya yerenom ama wɔn a wɔaka no, ɛsiane sɛ, yɛaka Awurade ntam sɛ yɛremfa yɛn mmammaa mu biara mma wɔn awadeɛ?”
Ere kaka wanyalo miyo jogo modongʼ mon, nimar wasekwongʼore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni ok wanamigi nyiwa mondo gikendi?”
8 Enti wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a yɛde yɛn ho kyerɛɛ Awurade wɔ Mispa no na obi nni hɔ bi anaa?” Ɛhɔ na wɔhunuu sɛ, obiara amfiri Yabes Gilead amma saa badwa no mu bi.
Eka negipenjo niya, “En dhoot Israel mane mane ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Negifwenyo ni onge ngʼama noa Jabesh Gilead manobiro mochokore e chokruokno.
9 Na wɔkan nnipa no nyinaa no, wɔannya obiara a ɔfiri Yabes Gilead.
Nimar kane gikwano ji, negiyudo ni onge ngʼama noa jo-Jabesh Gilead.
10 Enti, wɔsomaa akofoɔ mpem dumienu kɔɔ Yabes Gilead sɛ wɔnkɔkunkum obiara a ɔwɔ hɔ a mmaa ne mmɔfra ka ho.
Eka chokruokno nomiyo jolweny alufu apar gariyo chik mondo gidhi Jabesh Gilead kendo gineg joma odak kanyo machwo, kaachiel gi mon gi nyithindo.
11 Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yei na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ. Monkum ɔbarima ne ɔbaa biara a ɔnyɛ ɔbaabunu.”
Negiwacho niya, “Ma e gima onego utim. Neg dichwo moro amora to gi nyako moro amora mosengʼeyo dichwo.”
12 Yabes Gileadfoɔ mu no, wɔhunuu mmaabunu ahanan a wɔne mmarima nnaa da, na wɔde wɔn baa nsraban a ɛwɔ Silo wɔ Kanaan asase so hɔ.
Kuom joma nodak Jabesh Gilead negiyudo nyiri mia angʼwen mapok ongʼeyo chwo kendo negiterogi e kambi mar Shilo man Kanaan.
13 Na Israelfoɔ badwa no somaa asomdwoeɛ abɔfoɔ ma wɔkɔɔ Benyaminfoɔ nkaeɛ no a na wɔte Rimon botan ho no nkyɛn.
Eka oganda mane ochokore duto nooro chiwo mar kwe ne jo-Benjamin e lwanda mar Rimon.
14 Na Benyaminfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn afie mu, na wɔde mmaabunu a wɔfiri Yabes Gilead a wɔankum bi no maa wɔn awadeɛ. Nanso, mmaa no anso wɔn so.
Omiyo jo-Benjamin noduogo e sechego kendo nomigi mond jo-Jabesh Gilead mane odongʼ. To mon-go ne ok nyal romogi duto.
15 Nnipa no dii Benyaminfoɔ no ho yea, sɛ Awurade ama mpaapaemu aba Israel mmusuakuo no mu.
Ji nokuyo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo dhood Benjamin olal e kind dhout Israel.
16 Enti, Israel ntuanofoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Sɛ wɔatɔre mmaa a wɔfiri Benyamin ase yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛanya yerenom ama mmarima a aka no?
Kendo jodong ogandano nowacho niya, “Ka oseneg mond Benjamin, ere kaka wabiro miyo jogi mane otony mon?”
17 Ɛsɛ sɛ Benyaminfoɔ a aka no nya adedifoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israel abusuakuo bi ase ntɔre.
Negiwacho niya, “Jo-Benjamin mane otony nyaka bed gi nyithindo mabiro chamo mwandugi mondo omi dhood Israel kik tieki.
18 Nanso yɛrentumi mfa yɛn mmammaa mma wɔn awadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛaka ntankɛseɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔde ne babaa bɛma Benyaminni awadeɛ no, Awurade nnome mmra ne so.”
Ok wanyal miyogi nyiwa obed mondegi, nimar wan jo-Israel wasekwongʼore kama: ‘Okwongʼ ngʼatno mochiwo nyare mondo okend gi ja-Benjamin.’
19 Afei wɔdwenee Awurade afeafe afahyɛ no ho, deɛ wɔdi wɔ Silo, a ɛwɔ Lebona ne Bet-El ntam, wɔ ɛkwan a ɛfiri Bet-El kɔsi Sekem no apueeɛ fam.
To neuru, nitiere nyasi mar higa ka higa mar Jehova Nyasaye e Shilo, man yo nyandwat mar Bethel, kod yo wuok chiengʼ mar yo madhi Shekem, kochomo yo milambo mar Lebona.”
20 Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Benyamin mmarima a wɔda so hwehwɛ yerenom no sɛ, “Monkɔtɛ wɔ bobe nturo no mu.
Omiyo negimiyo jo-Benjamin chik, kagiwacho niya, “Dhiuru kendo upondi e puothe mzabibu
21 Sɛ mmaa a wɔfiri Silo no ba bɛsa wɔn asa no a, mompue mfiri bobe nturo no mu, na mo mu biara bɛtumi afa wɔn mu baako de no akɔ efie sɛ ne yere.
kendo uritane. Ka nyiri moa Shilo owuok oko mondo gibi e nyasi, to ringuru uwuogi mapiyo kua e puothe mzabibu mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato oyud dhako kuom nyirigo mondo udog-go e piny jo-Benjamin.
22 Na sɛ wɔn agyanom ne wɔn nuanom mmarima ba sɛ wɔmpene so a, yɛbɛka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yɛsrɛ mo, monte aseɛ. Momma wɔmfa mo mmammaa no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a yɛkunkumm Yabes Gileadfoɔ no, yɛannya mmaa a ɛbɛso wɔn nyinaa so amma wɔn. Monnni ntam no ho fɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ mo na mode mo mmammaa maa wɔn awadeɛ.’”
Ka wuonegi kata owetegi obiro donjo irwa, to wabiro wachonegi ni, ‘Timnwa ngʼwono kuom konyogi, nikech ne ok wayudonegi mon e kinde mag lweny, kendo un uonge gi wach, nikech un ne ok umiyogi nyiu.’”
23 Enti, Benyamin mmarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔwiawiaa mmaa a wɔbaa afahyɛ no ase, de wɔn kɔɔ asase a ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so. Na wɔkyekyeree wɔn nkuro no bio tenaa mu.
Omiyo mano e gima ne jo-Benjamin notimo. Ka nyirigo ne miel, ngʼato ka ngʼato nomako nyako achiel kuom nyirigo moloko chiege modhigo dala. Bangʼe negidwogo e lopgi mi gigero mier kanyo midakie.
24 Na Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo ne mmusua no firii hɔ sane kɔɔ wɔn ankasa afie mu.
E sechego jo-Israel nowuok kanyo ma gidok e miechgi kendo e dhoutgi ka ngʼato ka ngʼato dok e lope owuon.
25 Saa ɛberɛ no na Israel nni ɔhene, enti na deɛ nnipa no gye di sɛ ɛyɛ wɔ wɔn ani so no na wɔyɛ.
E kindeno Israel ne onge ruoth; kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne timo kaka ohero.
