Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then 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:
1Mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk Dan me layen nu eir, nwe Beersheba layen nu epang, oayapa Gilead layen nu kutulap, elos fahsreni fal nu ke pang nu selos. Elos toeni nu sie ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah.
2And 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.
2Mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel elos wi toeni se inge. Pisen mukul wo matwa nu ke mweun sun mwet angfoko tausin.
3(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,
3In pacl se inge mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos lohngak lah mwet Israel nukewa saya elos oru tukeni se inge in acn Mizpah. Na mwet Israel elos siyuk, “Fahkma lah fuka nwe ma koluk lulap se inge sikyak?”
4Answered: I came into Gabaa of Benjamin with my wife, and there I lodged:
4Na mwet Levi se ma anwuki mutan kulansap kia el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac mutan kulansap kiuk ah som in tuh motulla in acn Gibeah, yen sin sruf lal Benjamin.
5And 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.
5Mukul in acn Gibeah elos tuku in tuh sruokyuwi, ac elos kuhlasla lohm sac in fong sac. Elos tuh nunku in uniyuwi, tuh pa elos sruokya mutan kulansap se kiuk ah, ac akkolukyal nwe el misa.
6And 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.
6Na nga eis manol, ac sipikya nu ke ip singoul luo, ac supwalik kais sie ip nu sin sruf lun Israel. Mwet Gibeah inge elos orala ma koluk na fohkfok se inmasrlosr.
7You are all here, O children of Israel, determine what you ought to do.
7Kowos nukewa ma toeni inge, kowos mwet Israel. Mea kut ac oru ke ma se inge uh?”
8And 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:
8Na mwet nukewa elos tukeni tuyak ac fahk, “Wangin sie sesr ac folokla nu lohm sel ah, finne elos su muta in lohm nuknuk ku elos su muta in lohm na pwaye.
9But this we will do in common against Gabaa:
9Pa inge ma kut ac oru uh: kut ac fah susfa, ac sulela kutu sesr in som mweuni acn Gibeah.
10We 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.
10Sie tafu singoul sin mwet Israel ac fah fosrngakin mongo nun mwet mweun, ac mwet lula nukewa ac fah som mweuni acn Gibeah ke sripen ouiya koluk se elos orala in Israel inge.”
11And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:
11Ke ma inge mukul nukewa in acn Israel elos nunak sefanna in mweuni acn we.
12And they sent messengers to all the tribe of Benjamin to say to them: Why hath so great an abomination been found among you?
12Mwet in sruf lun Israel elos supwalik mwet in utuk kas nu in acn lun sruf lal Benjamin nufon ac fahk, “Ma koluk fuka se kowos orala inge?
13Deliver 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:
13Fuhlema mwet ma oru ma koluk se in acn Gibeah inge nu sesr tuh kut in onelosla, tuh ma koluk se inge in wanginla liki acn Israel.” Tusruktu mwet in sruf lal Benjamin elos tiana lohang nu ke mwet Israel wialos.
14But 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.
14Ouinge mwet in siti nukewa in acn Benjamin elos fahsreni nu Gibeah ac akola in mweun lain mwet wialos in sruf lun Israel.
15And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,
15In len sac mwet Benjamin elos pangon tausin longoul onkosr mwet mweun liki siti nukewa, in weang mwet Gibeah.
16Who 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.
16Inmasrlon mwet inge nukewa oasr mwet itfoko selos solla, ac mwet inge nukewa mwet lasa. Kais sie selos arulana oalel. Finne aunsuf soko, tia ku in oalla.
17Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.
17Mwet Israel nukewa, sayen mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, elos solani angfoko tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun.
18And 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.
18Mwet Israel elos som nu ke acn in alu lalos in acn Bethel, ac elos siyuk sin God, “Su sin sruf inge fal in som meet in lain mwet Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sruf lal Judah.”
19And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:
19Ouinge mwet Israel elos mukuiyak som ke lutu tok ah, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos apkuran nu ke siti Gibeah.
20And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.
20Elos som in lain mwet mweun lun Benjamin, ac oakiya solse lalos in acn ma ngetang nu ke siti ah.
21And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.
21Mwet mweun lun mwet Benjamin elos oatula liki siti selos, ac elos uniya mwet mweun longoul luo tausin sin mwet Israel meet liki fongeni.
22Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:
22Na mwet Israel elos folokla nu ke acn in alu lalos, ac tung mwemelil ye mutun LEUM GOD nwe ke ekela. Elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD , “Ya fal kut in sifil mweuni mwet wiasr in sruf lal Benjamin?” Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Aok.”
23Yet 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.
23Ouinge kui nunkalos mwet mweun lun Israel, ac elos sifil oakiya solse lalos yen na elos tuh tu we ke len meet ah.
24And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,
24Ac elos sifilpa som lain mwet mweun Benjamin pacl se akluo.
25The 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.
25Ac mwet Benjamin elos sifilpa oatula liki Gibeah pacl se akluo, ac onela tausin singoul oalkosr sin mwet pisrla ke mweun lun mwet Israel.
26Wherefore 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,
26Na mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu Bethel ac tung mwemelil. Elos muta we ye mutun LEUM GOD ac elos tia mongo nwe ke ekela. Ac elos kisakin mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa firir ye mutun LEUM GOD .
27And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there,
27Ac mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD (tuh Tuptup in Wuleang lun God oan in acn Bethel in pacl sac,
28And 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.
28ac Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar su ma natul Aaron, pa karingin tuptup sac in pacl sac.) Na mwet elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD , “Ya fal kut in sifil som lain mwet Benjamin wiasr, ku kut ac tia som?” Ac LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Kowos som. Lutu nga ac sot kutangla nu suwos.”
29And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:
29Ouinge mwet Israel elos okanla kutu solse lalos ac raunela acn Gibeah.
30And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.
30Pacl se inge len se aktolu elos som in lain mwet mweun Benjamin, ac elos oakiya solse lalos ke acn ma oan ngetang nu Gibeah, oana ke elos oru meet ah.
31And 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:
31Mwet Benjamin sifilpa oatula in mweun, ac som loesla liki siti selos. Elos mutawauk in onela kutu sin mwet Israel ah yen tupasrpasr ke inkanek nu Bethel, oayapa ke inkanek nu Gibeah, oana elos tuh oru ke len meet ah. Elos uniya akuran mwet tolngoul sin mwet Israel.
32For 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.
32Na mwet Benjamin elos fahk, “Kut sifilpa kutangulosla oana meet ah.” Tusruktu mwet Israel elos oru pwapa lukma se tuh elos in folok nu tok in pwanma mwet Benjamin liki siti selos ah nu ke inkanek uh.
33Then 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,
33Ouinge ke inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli ac sifil tukeni in acn Baaltamar, mwet Israel ma raunela acn Gibeah elos tuku liki in eot uh, yen elos wikwik we.
34And 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.
34Mwet Israel singoul tausin su pisrla ke mweun elos mweuni acn Gibeah, ac upana mweun lalos we. Mwet Benjamin elos tiana akilen lah ac kunausyukla elos.
35And 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.
35LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin mwet Israel fin mwet Benjamin. Mwet Israel elos uniya longoul limekosr tausin siofok sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke len sac.
36But 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.
36Ouinge mwet Benjamin elos akilenak lah kutangyukla elos. Inkaiyen mwet mweun lun Israel elos kohloli nu tok liki mwet Benjamin, mweyen elos lulalfongi solse ma elos okanla raunela acn Gibeah.
37And 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.
37Mwet inge elos sulaklak na yuyang nu in acn Gibeah; elos fahsrelik nu in siti sac ac uniya mwet nukewa su muta we.
38Now 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.
38Oasr akul se ma inkaiyen mwet Israel ac mwet ma wikla elos tukeni aetui kac. Pa inge — ke pacl se elos ac liye kulasr lulap fosryak liki siti sac,
39And 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)
39na mwet Israel ma kohlol nu tok acn elos mweun we ah, elos ac forla. Ke pacl se inge mwet Benjamin elos onela tari mwet solse tolngoul lun mwet Israel, na elos fahk nu selos sifacna mu, “Kut sifilpa onelosla oana ke kut oru meet ah.”
40And 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:
40Na ke pacl se inge akul sac sikyak — fosr se fosryak liki siti sac. Mwet Benjamin elos tapulla ac arulana lut ke elos liye siti nufon sac firiryak.
41They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,
41Na mwet Israel elos forla, ac mwet Benjamin arulana fosrngala mweyen elos akilenak lah elos ac kutangyukla.
42And 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.
42Elos kaing liki mwet Israel ac srike in sun acn turangang, tusruk elos tia ku in kaingla. Sruhu elos inmasrlon un mwet mweun lulap lun mwet Israel ac elos su tuku liki siti ah me, ac kunausyukla elos.
43And 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.
43Mwet Israel elos kosrala mwet lokoalok lalos inge, ac ukwalos nwe in acn se layen nu kutulap in Gibeah, ac elos uni na mwet uh ke inkanek lalos.
44And they that were slain in the same place were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers.
44Singoul oalkosr tausin sin mwet fo ke mweun sin mwet Benjamin anwuki ke len se inge.
45And 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.
45Ac mwet lula ah elos forla ac kaing nu yen turangang, nwe ke eot se pangpang Eot Rimmon. Limekosr tausin selos anwukla inkanek uh. Na mwet Israel elos ukwe pac mwet lula ah nwe Gidom, ac elos uniya pac luo tausin selos we.
46And 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.
46Toeni nufon mwet misa inge, oasr tausin longoul limekosr mwet Benjamin pa anwuki ke len sac — elos nukewa mwet mweun na pulaik.
47And 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.
47Tusruktu onfoko selos tuh kaingla nu ke Eot Rimmon yen turangang, ac tia wi anwuki. Na elos muta we malem akosr.
48But 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.
48Mwet Israel elos forla ac onela nufon mwet lula sin mwet Benjamin, mwet mukul, mutan, tulik ac oayapa kosro natulos. Elos esukak siti srisrik nukewa in polo acn sac.
