Jongʼad Bura 20
1 Eka jo-Israel duto chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba, kaachiel gi joma oa e piny jo-Gilead nowuok kaka oganda achiel ma gichokore Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD in Mizpeh.
2 Jotend dhout Israel duto nokawo keregi e chokruok mar jo-Nyasaye, jolweny alufu mia angʼwen man-gi ligangla.
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 Jo-Benjamin nowinjo ni jo-Israel nosedhi nyaka Mizpa. Eka jo-Israel nowacho niya, “Nyiswane kaka gima lichni notimore.”
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
4 Omiyo ja-Lawino, ma chwor dhako mane onegi, nowacho niya, “Ne adhi Gibea man Benjamin kaachiel gi chiega mondo wabuor kanyo.
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 E otienono chwo ma Gibea noluwo bangʼa ma gilworo ot, ka gin giparo mar nega. Negiterore gi chiega githuon, mi otho.
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about on me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
6 Bangʼe ne akawo ringre chiegano, mi apogee matindo tindo kendo aoro lembe ne dhoudi duto mag Israel kaka girkeni, nikech jogi notimo tim machachni kendo mar anjawo e piny Israel.
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
7 Koro, un jo-Israel duto, wuouru kendo ungʼad bura e wachni.”
Behold, you are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
8 Ji duto nochungʼ mowuoyo gi dwol achiel niya, “Onge ngʼato kuomwa ka mabiro dhi dala. Ooyo, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomwa madok e ode.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
9 To koro ma e gima wabiro timo ne Gibea: Wabiro kedo kodgi kaka ombulu owacho.
But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
10 Wabiro kawo chwo apar kuom chwo mia achiel moa e dhout Israel, kendo chwo mia achiel kuom ji alufu achiel, kendo alufu achiel kuom ji alufu apar, mondo ochiwre ne konyo jolweny. Bangʼ, ka jolweny osechopo Gibea man Benjamin, ginyalo kedo kodgi kaluwore gi tim marach mane gisetimone Israel.”
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel.
11 Omiyo jo-Israel nochokore kanyakla ma giriwore gibedo gimoro achiel ka gikedo gi dala maduongʼno.
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 Dhout Israel nooro ji e dhout Benjamin duto, kawacho niya, “Mano en tim marach manade mosetim e dieruni?
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
13 Koro chiwuru jo-Gibea ma timbegi monogo mondo mi waneg-gi kendo mondo wapwodh richoni e kind Israel.” To jo-Benjamin ne ok owinjo jowetegi ma jo-Israel.
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.
14 Ne giwuok e miechgi kanyakla nyaka Gibea mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 Gisano sano jo-Benjamin nochoko joma nigi ligangla alufu piero ariyo gauchiel koa e miechgi, koriw gi joma oyier mia abiriyo modak Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 To kuom jolwenygo duto mane oyier ne nitie ji mia abiriyo ma rochembe manyalo bayo orujre, ma moro ka moro ne nyalo bayo orujre ma goo yier wich ma ok obayo.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left handed; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
17 Jo-Israel, ka iweyo jo-Benjamin oko, ne nitiere gi jo-ligangla alufu mia angʼwen, giduto ne gin jokedo.
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Jo-Israel nodhi nyaka Bethel kendo gimanyo wangʼ Nyasaye. Negiwacho niya, “En dhoot mane kuomwa mabiro dhi mokwongo mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Jo-Juda biro dhi mokwongo.”
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
19 Kinyne jo-Israel nowuok kendo ne gibworo but Gibea.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Jo-Israel nowuok mondo oked gi jo-Benjamin kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi mag kedo gi jo-Benjamin e piny Gibea.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 Jo-Benjamin nowuok Gibea kendo neginego jo-Israel alufu piero ariyo gariyo e paw kedo odiechiengno.
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
22 To jo-Israel nojiwore kendgi giwegi kendo negichako giriedo jolwenjgi kaka negisetimo chiengʼ mokwongo.
And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
23 Jo-Israel nodok moywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka odhiambo, kendo negimanyo wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negiwacho niya, “Bende wanyalo dhi kendo mondo waked gi jo-Benjamin, owetewa?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Dhi uked kodgi.”
(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
24 Eka jo-Israel nosudo machiegni gi jo-Benjamin e odiechiengʼ mar ariyo.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 E kindeno, ka jo-Benjamin noa Gibea mondo oked kodgi, negichako ginego kendo jo-Israel alufu apar gaboro, ma duto ne nigi ligangla.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
26 Eka jo-Israel duto nodok Bethel, kendo negibet piny kanyo ka giywak e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Ne giriyo kech ka gilemo chakre okinyi nyaka odhiambo kendo negichiwo misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mar lalruok ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 Kendo jo-Israel nodwaro wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. (E ndalogo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Nyasaye ne ni kanyo,
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 ka Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma wuod Harun, ne jadolo mare.) Negipenjo niya, “Bende wanyalo kedo gi Benjamin ma owadwa, koso kik watim kamano?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwokogi niya, “Dhiuru kinyne anachiwgi e lwetu.”
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into your hand.
29 Eka jo-Israel nopondo machiegni gi Gibea.
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
30 Negidhi mondo giked gi jo-Benjamin chiengʼ mar adek kendo negiriedo jolwenjgi Gibea mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 Kane jo-Benjamin nowuok mondo orom kodgi negiywayogi mabor gi dala maduongʼ. Negichako nego jo-Israel mana kaka negisetimo mokwongo, omiyo ji piero adek notho e pap kod e yore; ma achiel dhi Bethel, machielo to dhi Gibea.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 Kane jo-Benjamin ne pod wacho niya, “Walogi kaka pile,” to jo-Israel ne wacho niya, “Wadoguru chien mondo wagolgi e dala maduongʼ ka wachiko kodgi wangʼ yore.”
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city to the highways.
33 Jo-Israel duto nowuok kuonde mane gipondoe moriedo jolwenjgi Baal Tamar, kendo jo-Israelgo nochako kedo koa yo podho chiengʼ mar Gibea.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
34 Eka jo-Israel alufu apar man-gi lony kuom lweny nomonjo Gibea gi e yo ka nyimgi. Lwenygi ne tek ma jo-Benjamin ne ok ofwenyo ni masira biro tiekogi.
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
35 Jehova Nyasaye noloyo jo-Benjamin e nyim Israel kendo odiechiengno jo-Israel nonego jo-Benjamin alufu piero gabich gi mia achiel man-gi ligangla.
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 Omiyo jo-Benjamin nongʼeyo ni oloogi. Jo-Israel ne ringo e nyim jo-Benjamin mondo oywagi, nikech negingʼeyo ni jolwenjgi mane opondo but Gibea biro konyogi.
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted to the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
37 Jogo mane osebedo kopondo nodonjo Gibea apoya nono, ka gikere koni gi koni ma ginego ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno gi ligangla.
And the liers in wait hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 Jo-Israel ne osewinjore gi joma nopondo ni ka gineno iro madhwolore e dalano,
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
39 to gingʼe ni jo-Israel osechako lweny. Jo-Benjamin nosechako nego jo-Israel (madirom piero adek), kendo negiwacho niya, “Waseloyogi mana kaka ne waloyogi e lweny mokwongo.”
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
40 To ka iro nochako dhwolore malo koa e dala maduongʼ, jo-Benjamin nolokore moneno ka iro madhwolore e dalano ochomo polo.
But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
41 Eka jo-Israel nopor kuomgi, kendo luoro nomako jo-Benjamin matek, nikech negifwenyo ni masira osechopo kuomgi.
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come on them.
42 Omiyo negiringo gia e nyim jo-Israel ka gichiko yo thim, to ne ok ginyal tony ne lweny. Kendo jo-Israel mane oa e mier nonegogi kanyo.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the middle of them.
43 Negilworo jo-Benjamin, ka gilawogi mi gimakogi e alwora duto man yo wuok chiengʼ mar Gibea.
Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and stepped them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sun rise.
44 Jo-Benjamin duto mane otho odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu apar gaboro.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
45 Joma notony noringo kochomo lwanda Rimon, to jo-Israel nonego ji alufu abich kuomgi e yo. Negidhi nyime ka giluwo bangʼ jo-Benjamin nyaka Gidom ma ginego ji alufu ariyo mamoko.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46 Jo-Benjamin duto mane oneg odiechiengno ne gin jolweny marahuma alufu piero ariyo gabich.
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
47 To ji mia auchiel noringo mi gidhi e thim nyaka e lwanda mar Rimon, kama negidakie kuom dweche angʼwen.
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and stayed in the rock Rimmon four months.
48 Jo-Israel noduogo chien momonjo jo-Benjamin mane odongʼ, mi ginegogi duto kaachiel gi jamni kod gimoro amora mane giyudo. Mier duto mane gineno e nyimgi ne giwangʼo.
And the men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
