Uk-ukom 21
1 Ita, nagkari dagiti lallaki ti Israel idiay Mizpa, “Awan kadatayo ti mangipaasawa iti anakna a babai iti Benjaminita.”
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
2 Kalpasanna, napan dagiti tattao idiay Betel ket nagtugawda sadiay iti sangoanan ti Dios agingga iti rabii, ken nasaem a nagladingitda iti napigsa.
And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore.
3 Kinunada, “O Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, apay a napasamak daytoy iti Israel, a maysa kadagiti tribumi ti awan tatta nga aldaw?”
And they said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one tribe lacking in Israel?
4 Iti sumaruno nga aldaw, nasapa a bimmangon dagiti tattao ket nangipatakderda iti altar sadiay ken nangidatonda kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti daton a pakikappia.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
5 Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel, “Siasino kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel ti saan nga immay iti taripnong ni Yahweh?” Ta nangaramidda iti napateg a kari maipanggep iti siasinoman a saan a simmang-at kenni Yahweh idiay Mizpa. Kinunada, “Awan duadua a mapapatay isuna.”
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up in the assembly unto Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
6 Naasian dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti kakabsatda a Benjaminita. Kinunada, “Ita nga aldaw, maysa a tribu ti naisina iti Israel.
And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
7 Siasino ti mangipaay kadagiti asawaen dagidiay a nabati, agsipudta nagkaritayo kenni Yahweh a saantayo a palubosan ti siasinoman kadakuada a mangasawa kadagiti annaktayo a babbai?”
How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
8 Kinunada, “Siasino kadagiti tribu ti Israel ti saan a simmang-at kenni Yahweh idiay Mizpa?” Naduktalan nga awan ti immay iti panagtitipon manipud idiay Jabes Galaad.
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
9 Ta idi naurnos dagiti tattao iti nasayaat, adtoy, awan kadagiti agnanaed idiay Jabes Galaad ti adda sadiay.
For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
10 Nangibaon ti taripnong iti 12, 000 a katuturedan a lallaki a nabilin a mapanda idiay Jabes Galaad ket rautenda ida ken papatayenda ida, uray dagiti babbai ken ubbing.
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.
11 “Aramidenyo daytoy: masapul a papatayenyo ti tunggal lalaki ken tunggal babai a nakikaidda iti lalaki.”
And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
12 Nakasarak dagiti lallaki iti 400 a babbalasang kadagiti agnanaed idiay Jabes Galaad a saan pulos a nakikaidda iti lalaki, ket impanda ida iti kampo idiay Silo, idiay Canaan.
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13 Nangipatulod iti mensahe ti entero a taripnong ket imbagada kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin nga adda idiay bato ti Rimmon a makikapkappiada kadakuada.
And the whole congregation sent and spake to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace unto them.
14 Isu a nagsubli dagiti Benjaminita iti dayta a tiempo ket naited kadakuada dagiti babbai idiay Jabes Galaad. Ngem awan ti umdas a babbai a para kadakuada amin.
And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
15 Nagbabawi dagiti tattao gapu iti napasamak iti Benjamin, gapu ta nangaramid ni Yahweh iti pannakabingay iti nagbabaetan dagiti tribu ti Israel.
And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16 Ket kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo iti entero a taripnong, “Kasanotayo nga ibirukan dagiti nabati a Benjaminita kadagiti babbai nga asawaenda, agsipud ta napapatayen dagiti babbai ti Benjamin?”
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
17 Kinunada, “Masapul nga adda ti tawid para kadagiti nakalasat iti Benjamin, tapno saan a madadael ti maysa a tribu iti Israel.
And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel.
18 Saantayo a mabalin nga ikkan ida kadagiti asawaenda manipud kadagiti annaktayo a babbai. Ta nagkari dagiti tattao ti Israel, 'Mailunod koma ti siasinoman a mangted iti babai nga asawaen ti Benjamin.’”
Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
19 Isu a kinunada, “Ammoyo nga adda iti tinawen a fiesta para kenni Yahweh idiay Silo (nga adda iti amianan ti Betel, dayaen ti kalsada a sumang-at idiay Sikem manipud idiay Betel, ken abagatan ti Lebona).”
And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
20 Binilinda dagiti lallaki ti Benjamin a kinunada, “Mapankayo aglemmeng iti nalimed ket aguraykayo kadagiti kaubasan.
And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,
21 Siputanyo ti oras a rummuar dagiti agsala a babbai manipud Silo, ket dardarasenyo a rummuar kadagiti kaubasan ket masapul a mangiguyod ti tunggal maysa kadakayo iti asawaenna manipud kadagiti babbai ti Silo, kalpasanna, agsublikayo iti daga ti Benjamin.
and see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22 Inton umay dagiti amma wenno kakabsatda a lallaki tapno agririda kadakami, ibagaminto kadakuada, “Maasikayo kadakami! Pagtalinaedenyo ida gapu ta saankami a nakaala kadagiti babbai a maasawa bayat ti gubat. Ket awan basolyo maipapan iti kari, gapu ta saanyo nga inted kadakuada dagiti annakyo.”'
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us, because we took not for each man [of them] his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty.
23 Kasta ti inaramid dagiti tattao ti Benjamin, nangalada kadagiti asawaenda segun iti bilang a kasapulanda manipud kadagiti babbai nga agsasala, ket innalada ida tapno agbalin nga assawada. Napanda ket nagsublida iti lugar a tawidda; binangonda manen dagiti ili ket nagnaedda kadagitoy.
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they carried off: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.
24 Ket pinanawan dagiti tattao ti Israel dayta a lugar ket nagawidda, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a tribu ken puli, ken tunggal maysa iti bukodna a tawid.
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
25 Kadagidiay nga aldaw, awan ti ari ti Israel. Inaramid ti tunggal maysa ti nasayaat kadagiti bukodna a panagkita.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
