Jasi Vahere 21
1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Mizpa kumate omeri atru hu'za amanage hu'za huvempa hu'naze, Magore huno magotimo'a mofa'a atresigeno Benzameni nagatera uomaregosie.
Now the men of Israel had made a promise at Mizpah, “None of us will give his daughter to marry a Benjamite.”
2 Hagi ana'ma hute'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Beteli kumate Ra Anumzamofo avuga vu'za tusi zavi krafa nehazageno vuno kinaga omesege'za,
Then the people went to Bethel and sat there before God until the evening, and with loud voices they wept bitterly.
3 zamagra amanage hu'naze, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka nahigeno Israeli vahepintira mago naga'mo'za fananea hu'za nehaze?
They called out, “Why, Yahweh, God of Israel, has this happened to Israel, that one of our tribes should be missing today?”
4 Hagi mase'za anante knarera nanterame oti'za kresramna vu ita trohu'za, anante kresramnama vu ofa nehu'za, zamarimpa fru ofanena hu'naze.
The next day the people got up early and built an altar there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
5 Hagi anante amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahepintira ina naga'mo Ra Anumzamofo avugama atruma nehumpina atrua osu'naze? Na'ankure zamagra kora huvempa hu'za amanage hu'naze, Iza'o Ra Anumzamofonte'ma Mispama omesimofona ahe friho.
The people of Israel said, “Which of all the tribes of Israel did not come up in the assembly to Yahweh?” For they had made an important promise concerning anyone who did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah. They said, “He would certainly be put to death.”
6 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za nezamafunkura Benzameni nagara zamasunku hunezamante'za amanage hu'naze, menina Israeli vahepintira mago nagamo'a fanane hie.
The people of Israel had compassion for their brother Benjamin. They said, “Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel.
7 Hagi tagra Ra Anumzamofonte huvempa huta mofa'netia ozamigosune huta hunonanki, inankna huta a'ne zamigura hakegahune?
Who will provide wives for those who are left, since we have made a promise to Yahweh that we will not let any of them marry our daughters?”
8 Hagi amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahepintira ina naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga Mispa kumatera ome'naze? Hagi keho Jabes-Gileatitira mago vahera Ra Anumzamofo avuga ome'ne.
They said, “Which of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah?” It was found that no one had come to the assembly from Jabesh Gilead.
9 Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama vahe'ma hamprizafina Jabes-Giliati vahera ana zupa omani'naze.
For when the people were set out in an orderly manner, behold, none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead were there.
10 Hagi e'ina hu'nazagu koro osu'za hanaveti'za ha'ma nehaza vahera, Israeli vahe'mo'za 12tauseni'a hunezamante'za amanage hu'naze, vuta Jabes-Giliati kumate vahera maka a' mofavre'zamine zamahe hana hiho.
The assembly sent twelve thousand of their bravest men with instructions to go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children.
11 Hagi tamagra amanahu hugahaze, maka vene'nene, vene'nenema mase'nesia a'nenena zamahehna hiho.
“Do this: You must kill every male and every woman who has slept with a man.”
12 Hagi Jabes-Gileati vahepintira 400'a venema omase mofa'neramina hake'za zamavare'za seli noma ki'za mani'naza kumate Kenani mopafi Sailo e'naze.
The men found among those living in Jabesh Gilead four hundred young women who had never slept with a man, and they took them to the camp at Shiloh, in Canaan.
13 Hagi ana'ma hazage'za maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Benzameni naga'ma Rimoni havekampima fraki'zama mani'naza nagatega kea atre'za amanage hu'naze, Menina tamagri'enena hara osuta fru huta manigahune hu'za hu'naze.
The entire assembly sent a message and told the people of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon that they were offering them peace.
14 Hagi anagema hazage'za Benzameni naga'mo'za kuma'zmirega ete vazage'za Jabes-Giliatiti'ma zmavre'naza a'nea zami'naze. Hianagi ana maka vene'nemo'za ana a'nea erizamentera osu'nazanki mago'amo'a amne mani'ne.
The Benjamites returned at that time and they were given the women of Jabesh Gilead, but there were not enough women for all of them.
15 Hagi Benzameni nagakura Israeli vahe'mo'za zamasunku hu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli vahepina Ra Anumzamo'a zamatrege'za fanane hazageno kankamu fore hu'ne.
The people were sorry for what happened to Benjamin, because Yahweh made a division between the tribes of Israel.
16 Hagi anante Israeli kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Benzameni nagapintira ko a'nezmia zamahe hana hu'nonanki, a'ma e'ori'naza vene'neramina igati a'neramina haketa avrezamigahune?
Then the leaders of the assembly said, “How will we arrange wives for the Benjamites who are left, since the women of Benjamin have been killed?”
17 Hagi amanage hu'naze, Zamahe hanama hunke'zama osi'ama maniza Benjamen naga'mo'za mofavre ante'nageno Israeli vahepintira zamagia fanane osanie.
They said, “There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe is not destroyed from Israel.
18 Hianagi mofa'netia zaminunke'za ara e'origosaze. Na'ankure ko Israeli vahe'mo'za huvempa hu'za Benzameni nagara mofatia ozamigosune hu'naze. Hagi iza'oma mofa'ama amisimofona Anumzamo'a kazusi huntegahie hu'za nehu'za,
We cannot give them wives from our daughters, for the people of Israel had made a promise, 'Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to Benjamin.'”
19 amanage hu'naze, Keho maka kafumofona Sailo kumatera Ra Anumzamofoma musema hunteno ne'zama kreno nekna etere nehie. Hagi ana kumara Beteli kuma'mofo noti kaziga megeno, Betelitima marerino Sekemuma vu'nea kamofona zage hanati kaziga megeno, Lebona kuma'mofona sauti kaziga me'ne.
So they said, “You know there is a feast for Yahweh every year at Shiloh (which is north of Bethel, east of the road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah).”
20 Hagi anage hu'za Benzameni naga'ma a'ma e'ori'naza nagakura huzmante'naze, Vuta waini hozafi kafona ome anteta,
They instructed the men of Benjamin, saying, “Go and hide in secret and wait in the vineyards.
21 mani'neta negenkeno Sailo kumateti'ma avoma renaku'ma atirami'za e'naza mofa'neramina fraki'nesafintira ame huta atiramita zamavazu huta freta kumatmirega eta ara emeri zamanteho.
Watch for the time when the girls from Shiloh come out to dance, then rush out of the vineyards and each one of you should grab a wife from the girls of Shiloh, then go back to the land of Benjamin.
22 Hagi anama hanageno'ma zamafahe'zane zamaserahe'zanema tagrite'ma e'za fragema hanageta, amanage huta zamasamigahune. Muse huramantonanki tamasunku hunezamanteta zamatrenke'za ara zamavareho. Na'ankure Jabes-Giliati vahe'ma zamaheta a'nema avre zamunana erizamentera huvaga ore'naze. Hianagi ana mofa'nea tamagra'a ozami'nazankita huvempama hu'naza zantera knazana e'origahaze.
When their fathers or their brothers come to protest to us, we will say to them, 'Show us favor! Let them remain because we did not get wives for each man during the war. You are innocent, since you did not give your daughters to them.'”
23 Anage hazage'za Benjamen naga'mo'za anama zamasamizaza hu'za avoma renakuma Sailo kumapinti'ma atirami'za aza mofa'nea zamavare'za fre'za erisantima hare'naza mopazmirega vu'za ara omeri zamante'za havizama hu'nea kumazmia omeri so'e hutere hu'za ki'za mani'naze.
The people of Benjamin did so. They took the number of wives that they needed from the girls who were dancing and they carried them off to be their wives. They went and returned to the place of their inheritance. They rebuilt the towns and lived in them.
24 Hagi ana knazupa Israeli vahe'mo'za ana kumara atre'za erisantima hare'naza mopazmirega, naga nofi zamirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Then the people of Israel left that place and went home, each one to his own tribe and clan, and each one to his own inheritance.
25 Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mokizmia kinia omani'neanki'za, mago'mago'mo'a kegeno'ma avure'ma knare'ma hiazana hutere hu'ne.
In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
