Fakamaau 20
1 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ai kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai ʻo loto taha, mei Tani ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, kia Sihova ʻi Misipa.
And all the sons of Israel go out, and the company is assembled as one man, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah, at Mizpeh.
2 Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e kau tangata tau ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe toʻo heletā.
And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword.
3 (Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo ʻalu hake ki Misipa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.) Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tala kiate kimautolu, naʻe fēfeeʻi ʻae angakovi ni?’
And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, 'Speak ye, how hath this evil been?'
4 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tangata Livai, ʻaia ko e husepāniti ʻoe fefine naʻe fakapoongi, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku hoko ki Kipea ʻaia ʻoku kau mo Penisimani, ko au mo hoku uaifi, ke mau mohe.
And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who hath been murdered, answereth and saith, 'Into Gibeah (which [is] to Benjamin) I have come, I and my concubine, to lodge;
5 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata Kipea kiate au, ʻonau ʻohofi mo kāpui ʻae fale ʻi he poʻuli, ʻonau tokanga ke tāmateʻi au: pea naʻa nau tohotoho ʻa hoku uaifi, pea ne mate ia.
and rise against me do the masters of Gibeah — and they go round the house against me by night — me they thought to slay, and my concubine they have humbled, and she dieth;
6 Pea naʻaku toʻo hoku uaifi ʻo tafatafaʻi, pea ʻave ia ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻoe tofiʻa ʻo ʻIsileli: he kuo nau fai ʻae angahala mo e meʻa kovi lahi ʻi ʻIsileli.
and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have done wickedness and folly in Israel;
7 Vakai, ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē; mou fakahā ʻi heni homou loto, mo hoʻomou fakakaukau.”
lo, ye [are] all sons of Israel; give for you a word and counsel here.'
8 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake loto taha pe ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ha tau niʻihi ki fale, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tau taha ʻe afe ki hono fale.
And all the people rise as one man, saying, 'None of us doth go to his tent, and none of us doth turn aside to his house;
9 Ka ko eni ʻae meʻa te tau fai ki Kipea; te tau fai ʻae talotalo ʻo ʻalu hake ki ai;
and now, this [is] the thing which we do to Gibeah — against it by lot!
10 Pea te tau fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu mei he toko teau ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e toko teau ʻi he toko afe, mo e toko afe mei he toko mano kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tokonaki meʻakai ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ka nau ka hoko ki Kipea ʻo Penisimani, kenau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he angakovi kuo nau fai ʻi ʻIsileli.”
and we have taken ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a myriad, to receive provision for the people, to do, at their coming to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which it hath done in Israel.'
11 Ko ia naʻe kātoa ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tuʻu hake ki he kolo, ʻonau kau loto taha ʻo hangē ko e tangata pē taha.
And every man of Israel is gathered unto the city, as one man — companions.
12 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ki he faʻahinga kātoa ʻo Penisimani, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae angakovi ni ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu?
And the tribes of Israel send men among all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, 'What [is] this evil which hath been among you?
13 Pea ko eni, tuku mai kiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata, ʻae fānau ʻoe kovi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kipea, koeʻuhi ke mau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, kae fakangata ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.” Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani ki he lea ʻa honau kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
And now, give up the men — sons of worthlessness — which [are] in Gibeah, and we put them to death, and we put away evil from Israel.' And [the sons of] Benjamin have not been willing to hearken to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel;
14 Ka naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani mei he ngaahi kolo ki Kipea, kenau ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
and the sons of Benjamin are gathered out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle with the sons of Israel.
15 Pea naʻe lau ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he ngaahi kolo, ko e toko ua mano mo e toko ono afe, ko e kau tangata naʻe toʻo heletā, ka naʻe kehe ʻae kakai ʻo Kipea, ʻaia ko honau tokolahi ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau kuo fili.
And the sons of Benjamin number themselves on that day; out of the cities [are] twenty and six thousand men drawing sword, apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah, [who] numbered themselves, seven hundred chosen men;
16 Pea ʻi he kakai ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe nima hema; naʻe poto kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻi he makatā, pea naʻa mo e laulahi ʻo ha foʻi louʻulu ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai ke hala ai.
among all this people [are] seven hundred chosen men, bound of their right hand, each of these slinging with a stone at the hair, and he doth not err.
17 Pea naʻe lau hono toe ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli, kae tuku kehe ʻa Penisimani, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fā kilu naʻe faʻa toʻo ʻae heletā; ko kinautolu ni kotoa pē ko e kau tangata tau.
And the men of Israel numbered themselves, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, drawing sword, each of these a man of war.
18 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻonau kole ʻae poto ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ʻiate kimautolu ʻe ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa hake ki he tau ʻo tuʻu hake ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Siuta.”
And they rise and go up to Beth-El, and ask of God, and the sons of Israel say, 'Who doth go up for us at the commencement to battle with the sons of Benjamin?' and Jehovah saith, 'Judah — at the commencement.'
19 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea teu tau ki Kipea.
And the sons of Israel rise in the morning, and encamp against Gibeah,
20 Pea ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani; pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Kipea.
and the men of Israel go out to battle with Benjamin, and the men of Israel set themselves in array with them, [for] battle against Gibeah,
21 Pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea, ʻonau tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he kau ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko ua afe.
and the sons of Benjamin come out from Gibeah, and destroy in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men — to the earth.
22 Pea naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli, ʻo toe fakalanga ʻae tau ʻi he potu ko ia naʻa nau tali teuteu ai ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho.
And the people, the men of Israel, strengthen themselves, and add to set the battle in array in the place where they arranged themselves on the first day.
23 (Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea kole ʻae fakakaukau ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake ʻo tauʻi ia.”)
And the sons of Israel go up and weep before Jehovah till the evening, and ask of Jehovah, saying, 'Do I add to draw nigh to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother?' And Jehovah saith, 'Go up against him.'
24 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho.
And the sons of Israel draw near unto the sons of Benjamin on the second day,
25 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Penisimani mei Kipea ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, pea toe tā hifo ki he kelekele ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tokotaha mano mo e toko ua afe; ko e kau toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
and Benjamin cometh out to meet them from Gibeah on the second day, and destroy among the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men — to the earth; all these are drawing sword.
26 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hake ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hoko ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo tangi, ʻonau nofo ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and come in to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before Jehovah, and fast on that day till the evening, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
27 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, (he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
And the sons of Israel ask of Jehovah, — and there [is] the ark of the covenant of God in those days,
28 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono haʻohaʻonga ʻo ia ʻa Finiasi, ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ko e foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ) ʻo pehē, “Te u toe ʻalu kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ko hoku tokoua, pe te u tukuā?” Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻAlu hake; he te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima ʻapongipongi.”
and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, is standing before it in those days — saying, 'Do I add again to go out to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or do I cease?' And Jehovah saith, 'Go up, for to-morrow I give him into thy hand.'
29 Pea naʻe fakatoka ʻae malumu ʻe ʻIsileli ke takatakai ʻa Kipea.
And Israel setteth liers in wait against Gibeah, round about,
30 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻonau fokotuʻu teuteu pē ʻakinautolu ki Kipea, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa nau fai.
and the sons of Israel go up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, and arrange themselves against Gibeah, as time by time.
31 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani ke tauʻi ʻae kakai, pea kuo matoho ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: pea naʻa nau kamata teʻia ʻae kakai, ʻo tāmateʻi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fuofua fai, ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi, (ʻa ia ko e hala ʻe taha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e taha ki Kipea ʻi he ngoue, ) ko e kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻe toko tolungofulu nai.
And the sons of Benjamin come out to meet the people; they have been drawn away out of the city, and begin to smite [some] of the people — wounded as time by time, in the highways (of which one is going up to Beth-El, and the other to Gibeah in the field), [are] about thirty men of Israel.
32 Pea pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani, “Kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko hono fuofua fai.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Tau hola, pea tohoaki ʻakinautolu mei he kolo ki he ngaahi hala lahi.”
And the sons of Benjamin say, 'They are smitten before us as at the beginning;' but the sons of Israel said, 'Let us flee, and draw them away out of the city, unto the highways.'
33 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē mei honau potu, pea tali tau pe ʻakinautolu ʻi Peali tama: pea naʻe hiki ʻae malumu mei honau ngaahi potu, ʻio, mei he ngaahi ngoue mohuku ʻo Kipea,
And all the men of Israel have risen from their place, and arrange themselves at Baal-Tamar, and the ambush of Israel is coming forth out of its place, out of the meadow of Gibeah.
34 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Kipea ʻae kau tangata fili ʻe tokotaha mano mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe fakamanavahē ʻae tau: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo kuo ofi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
And they come in over against Gibeah — ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel — and the battle [is] grievous, and they have not known that the evil is striking against them.
35 Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Penisimani ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli: pea tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko nima afe mo e toko teau ʻi he kakai Penisimani: naʻe toʻo heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
And Jehovah smiteth Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroy in Benjamin, on that day, twenty and five thousand, and a hundred men; all these [are] drawing sword.
36 Pea kuo mamata ʻae fānau ʻa Penisimani kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe matamata hola ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau Penisimani, koeʻuhi naʻa nau falala ki he malumu naʻe toka ʻaia naʻa nau tuku ʻo ofi ki Kipea.
And the sons of Benjamin see that they have been smitten — and the men of Israel give place to Benjamin, for they have trusted unto the ambush which they had set against Gibeah,
37 Pea naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe he malumu, ʻo ʻoho atu ki Kipea; pea ʻalu atu pē ʻae malumu, ʻo teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
and the ambush have hasted, and push against Gibeah, and the ambush draweth itself out, and smiteth the whole of the city by the mouth of the sword.
38 Pea ko eni, naʻe ai ʻae fakaʻilonga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli mo e malumu, koeʻuhi ke nau tutu ʻae afi ke ulo lahi mo e ʻohuafi ke ʻalu hake mei he kolo.
And there was the appointed sign to the men of Israel with the ambush — their causing to go up a great volume of smoke from the city.
39 Pea ʻi he kamata hola ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he tau, pea kamata taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Penisimani, pea tāmateʻi ʻi he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu nai: he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo tā hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki tau.”
And the men of Israel turn in battle, and Benjamin hath begun to smite the wounded among the men of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, 'Surely they are utterly smitten before us, as [at] the first battle;
40 Pea ʻi he kamata ʻalu hake ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo mo e ngaahi pou ʻohuafi, pea tangaki kimui ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo sio kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻalu hake ki langi ʻae ulo ʻoe kolo.
and the volume hath begun to go up from the city — a pillar of smoke — and Benjamin turneth behind, and lo, gone up hath the perfection of the city toward the heavens.
41 Pea ʻi he tafoki ʻae kakai ʻIsileli, naʻe ofo ʻae kau Penisimani: he naʻa nau vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
And the men of Israel have turned, and the men of Benjamin are troubled, for they have seen that the evil hath stricken against them —
42 Ko ia naʻa nau fulituʻa, ki he kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ki he toafa; ka naʻe lavaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tau; pea mo kinautolu naʻe hola kituʻa mei he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi honau lotolotonga.
and they turn before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness, and the battle hath followed them; and those who [are] from the city are destroying them in their midst;
43 Naʻe pehē ʻenau ʻākilotoa ʻae kau Penisimani ʻo takatakai, pea tuli ʻakinautolu, ʻo malakaki faingofua hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangatonu ki Kipea ʻo hanga ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.
they have compassed the Benjamites — they have pursued them — with ease they have trodden them down till over-against Gibeah, at the sun-rising.
44 Pea naʻe tō ai ʻae kau tangata Penisimani ko e tokotaha mano mo e toko valu afe; ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
And there fall of Benjamin eighteen thousand men — the whole of these [are] men of valour;
45 Pea naʻa nau tafoki ʻo hola atu ki he toafa ki he maka ko Limoni: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi he ngaahi hala lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima afe; pea naʻe tuli mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Kitomi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻae toko ua afe ʻokinautolu.
and they turn and flee toward the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon; and they glean of them in the highways five thousand men, and follow after them unto Gidom, and smite of them two thousand men.
46 Ko ia ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tō ʻi he kakai Penisimani ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko e kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano, mo e toko nima afe ʻaia naʻe toʻo heletā: ko e kau tangata toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
And all those falling of Benjamin are twenty and five thousand men drawing sword, on that day — the whole of these [are] men of valour;
47 Ka naʻe tafoki ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau ʻo hola ki he toafa ʻo aʻu ki he maka ko Limoni, pea ne nau nofo ʻi he maka ko Limoni ʻi he māhina ʻe fā.
and there turn and flee into the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon six hundred men, and they dwell in the rock Rimmon four months.
48 Pea naʻe toe tafoki kimui ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo: pea naʻa nau tutu foki ʻae kolo kotoa pē naʻa nau hoko ki ai ʻaki ʻae afi.
And the men of Israel have turned back unto the sons of Benjamin, and smite them by the mouth of the sword out of the city, — men unto cattle, unto all that is found; also all the cities which are found they have sent into fire.
