Bisisu 20
1 Isala: ili dunu huluane da Gode ba: ma: ne, Misiba moilaiga gilisi. Ilia da Isala: ili soge huluane amoga misi - gagoe (north) moilai Da: ne asili gagoe (south) moilai bai bagade Biasiba amoga doaga: le, huluane da misi. Eso mabe soge Gilia: de amola amoga ilia da misi.
Then all the children of Israel went out and gathered together as one man from Dan to Bersabee, with the land of Galaad, to the Lord in Maspha:
2 Amo Gode Ea fi gilisisu amoga Isala: ili ouligisu dunu huluane da misi. Amola emoga ahoasu dadi gagui dunu 400,000 agoane da gilisi.
And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war.
3 Bediamini fi dunu da Isala: ili dunu huluane da Misiba moilaiga gilisi dagoi amo nabi. Isala: ili dunu da amane adole ba: i, “Amo wadela: i hou da habodane hamobela: ?”
(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite the husband of the woman that was killed, being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed,
4 Lifai dunu amo ea gidisedagi uda da medole legei ba: i, amane adole i, “Na gidisedagi uda amola na da Gibia moilai bai bagade Bediamini soge amoga golamusa: asi.
Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:
5 Gibia dunu da nama doagala: musa: misini, ania diasu sisiga: i. Ilia da na medole legemusa: dawa: i. Be amo hou fisili, ilia da na uda wadela: lesilalu, e medole legei.
And behold the men of that city in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died.
6 Na da ea bogoi da: i hodo lale, dadega: le, amola wa: i afae afae amo Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala ilima iasi. Amo dunu da wadela: idafa hou ninia fi amo ganodini hamoi dagoi.
And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the, parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel.
7 Dilia huluane guiguda: da Isala: ili dunu. Amo hou hahamoma: ne, ninia da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.
8 Dunu huluane da wa: legadole, amane sia: i, “Ninia huluane, abula diasu ganodini esalebe dunu amola diasudafa amo ganodini esalebe, ninia huluane da nini diasuga bu hame masunu.
And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house:
9 Ninia da agoane hamomu. Ninia da dunu amo Gibiama doagala: musa: ilegema: ne, ado ululuasu hedesu hou hamomu.
But this we will do in common against Gabaa:
10 Ninia dunu fi amo ganodini 1/10 (nabuane fifili afadafa gala) da ha: i manu amo dadi gagui dunuma imunu. Eno dunu huluane da Gibia fi ilima se ima: ne masunu.”
We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we might fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth.
11 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu huluane da gilisili, bai afadafa hamomusa: gilisi. Amo da Gibia ilima doagala: musa: gilisi.
And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:
12 Isala: ili fi da sia: adola ahoasu dunu amo Bediamini soge huluane amo ganodini asunasi. Ilia da amane adole ba: i, “Amo wadela: idafa hou dilia hamoi, ea bai da adi baila: ?
And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?
13 Wali amo Gibia wadela: i hamosu dunu ninima ima. Ninia da amo dunu medole legele, amo wadela: i hou amo Isala: ili fi ganodini gala fadegale fasimu.” Be Bediamini dunu da Isala: ili fi eno ilia sia: hame nabi.
Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:
14 Be Bediamini moilai huluane amoga ilia da misini, Gibia moilaiga Isala: ili fi eno, amoga gegemusa: doaga: i dagoi.
But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.
And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,
16 Amo esohaga, ilia moilai bai bagadega ilia da dadi gagui 26,000 agoane amo misa: ne wele sia: i. Amola Gibia esalebe dunu da dadi gagui dunu amo da ilia lobo fofadi amoga gegesu, amo 700 agoane gilisi. Ilia da ga: muga: dadi amoga ilia dialuma hinabo afae amo igiga gala: loba, hamedafa giadofasu.
Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone’s going on either side.
17 Isala: ili fi oda da dadi gagui 400,000 agoane gilisi.
Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.
18 Isala: ili dunu da Godema sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo Bedele amoga asili, Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Adi fi da Bediamini fi hidadea doagala: ma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Yuda fi!”
And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.
19 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da hahabe asili, Gibia moilai gadenene ilia hawa: i fisu hamone esalu.
And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:
20 Ilia Bediamini dadi gagui doagala: musa: asili, Gibia moilai da ilia midadi ba: i.
And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.
21 Bediamini dadi gagui da Gibia amoga misini, doagala: le, amo esoga 22,000 Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu medole legei.
And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.
Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:
23 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da sia: ne gadosu sogebi amoga asili, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne bagadewane dinanu, asili, daeya doaga: i. Ilia da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i, “Ninia bu eno ninia olalali Bediamini dunu ilima doagala: ma: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Ama!” Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui da ilia dogo denesi ba: i. Ilia da Gibia moilaiga asili, ilia dadi gagui aya agoane Bediamini dunuma gegemusa: lelu.
Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.
24 Ilia da enowane Bediamini dunuma doagala: musa: mogodigili asi.
And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,
25 Be musa: gegei defele, Bediamini dunu da Gibia fisili, ilima doagala: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui 18,000 (ili da noga: le gegema: ne olelei) amo medole lelegei dagoi ba: i.
The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.
26 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu huluane da Bedele moilaiga didiga: musa: asi. Ilia Hina Gode ba: ma: ne ha: i mae nawane esaloba, daeya gamai. Ilia Hina Godema Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu gobele salasu hamoi amola gobele salasu ohe oda gogo gobele sali.
Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,
And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,
28 Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili da amo esoga Bedele sogebi galu. Finia: se (Ilia: isa ea egefe amola Elane ea aowa) da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili ouligisu. Isala: ili dunu da Hina Godema bu adole ba: i, “Ninia da ninia olalali Bediamini dunu ilima bu gegemusa: masa: bela: ? O ninia fisima: bela: ?” Hina Gode da bu adole i, “Gegema! Aya Na da fidimuba: le, dilia da ili hasalimu.”
And Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron was over the house. So they consulted the Lord and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hands.
29 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da dadi gagui dunu Gibia moilaiga sisiga: le, wamoaligima: ne asunasi.
And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:
30 Amalalu, eso osodaga, ilia musa: hou defele, ilia da Bediamini dunuma doagala: musa: asili, Gibia ea midadi dada: lei.
And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.
31 Bediamini dunu da gegemusa: , moilai gadili asili, Isala: ili dunu sefasimusa: fa: no bobogei. Musa: agoane ilia da umi soge Bedele ahoasu amola Gibia ahoasu la: ididili amo ganodini Isala: ili dunu muni medole legelalu. Ilia da Isala: ili dadi gagui30agoane medole legei.
And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:
32 Bediamini dunu ilisu amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninia da musa: agoane, Isala: ili dunu hasali.” Be Isala: ili dunu da ili gadili, logoga oule asili, musa: medole legemusa: dawa: i galu.
For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.
33 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisudafa da hobeale, bu Ba: ile Da: ima sogega bu gilisi. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu amo da Gibia sisiga: i, da ilia wamoaligisu gele sogebi ganodini galu amo fisili, Gibia amoma doagala: musa: hehenai.
Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,
34 Amo dunu idi da 10,000. Ilia da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini dadi gagui noga: iwane ilegei. Ilia da Gibia doagala: i amola gegesu da gasa bagade ba: i. Bediamini dunu da fofogadigi. Ilia gugunufinisisu eso da doaga: i dagoi ilia hame dawa: i galu.
And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.
35 Amo esoha, Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui dunu ili hasalasi. Ilia da dunu 25,100 agoane medole legei dagoi.
And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.
36 Amola Bediamini dunu da dafai dagoi, ilisu dawa: i. Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisu bagade da Bediamini dunu amoba: le hobea: i. Bai ilia dawa: i da dunu ilia da Gibia sisiga: le wamoaligimusa: asunasi, amo da ili fidimusa: ilia dawa: i.
But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.
37 Amo dunu da ilia wamoaligisu fisili, hedolowane Gibia moilaiga hehenai. Ilia da dunu huluane amo moilai ganodini esalu, medole legei dagoi.
And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
38 Isala: ili dadi gagui gilisisu bagade amola wamoaligisu dunu da musa: gilisili sia: daloba, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu agoane hahamoi. Ilia da lalu mobi mogomogoi agoane bagade Gibia amoga heda: lebe ba: beba: le,
Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.
39 Isala: ili dadi gagui da Bediamini dunu ilima hobealalu, ilia da sinidigimu sia: i. Amo hou da doaga: loba, Bediamini dunu da Isala: ili dunu 30 agoane medole legei dagoi ba: i. Bediamini dunu da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninia da musa: agoane defele Isala: ili dunuma bu hasali dagoi.”
And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)
40 Amalalu, dawa: ma: ne hahamosu amo lalu mobi mogomogoi agoane amo Gibia amoga heda: lebe ba: i. Bediamini dunu da beba: le, fofogadigili, moilai huluane laluga nenanebe ba: i.
And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:
41 Amalalu, Isala: ili dadi gagui da sinidigi. Bediamini dunu da bagadewane beda: i. Ilia da dafai dagoi, ilisu da dawa: i galu.
They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,
42 Ilia da Isala: ili dunu amoba: le hobea: i. Be ilia da sani amo ganodini agoane ba: i. Ba: i da Isala: ili dunu amo Gibia moilaiga gadili ahoanebe da ilia la: idi amo doagala: i. Amalalu, ilia da Bediamini dunu wadela: lesi dagoi.
And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.
43 Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dunu amo sani ganodini gagui galu. Ilia da mae fisili medole legelalu, amo dunu sefasili, sogebi amo Gibia ea eso mabadi la: ididili gala amoga doaga: i.
And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city Gabaa.
44 Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui noga: iwane amo 18,000 agoane medole legei.
And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.
45 Bediamini dunu hame bogoi amo da hobeale, umi soge amo Limone Gele gadenene amoga hobea: i. Be Isala: ili da ilima doagala: le, 5,000 eno logoga medole legei. Ilia da bu sefasili, Ga: idoume sogebi amoga doaga: le, 2,000 eno medole legei.
And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight, also as they were straggling and going different ways, they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand.
46 Amo esoga, Isala: ili dunu da Bediamini dadi gagui dunu noga: iwane, huluane 25,000 agoane medole legei.
And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war.
47 Be dunu 600 agoane da hobeale, Limone Gele soge amoga asili, Isala: ili dunu da ili hame medole legei. Amo sogega, ilia da oubi biyaduyale gala esalu.
And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months.
48 Isala: ili dunu da sinidigili, Bediamini fi dunu eno huluane medole legei. Ilia da dunu, uda, mano amola ohe fi huluane medole lelegei dagoi. Ilia da moilai huluane amo soge ganodini dialu amo laluga ulagisi.
But the children of Israel returning, put all the remains of the city to the sword, both men and beasts, and all the cities and villages of Benjamin were consumed with devouring flames.
