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.
1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah.
2Mwet kol lun sruf nukewa lun Israel elos wi toeni se inge. Pisen mukul wo matwa nu ke mweun sun mwet angfoko tausin.
2And the chiefs 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. —
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?”
3Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah. — And the children of Israel said: 'Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?'
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.
4And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said: 'I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
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.
5And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.
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.
6And 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 wantonness in Israel.
7Kowos nukewa ma toeni inge, kowos mwet Israel. Mea kut ac oru ke ma se inge uh?”
7Behold, ye are all here, children of Israel, give here your advice and council.'
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.
8And 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 unto his house.
9Pa inge ma kut ac oru uh: kut ac fah susfa, ac sulela kutu sesr in som mweuni acn Gibeah.
9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
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.”
10and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the wantonness that they have wrought in Israel.'
11Ke ma inge mukul nukewa in acn Israel elos nunak sefanna in mweuni acn we.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
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?
12And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying: 'What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?
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.
13Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows that are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.' But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children 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.
14And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of their cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15In len sac mwet Benjamin elos pangon tausin longoul onkosr mwet mweun liki siti nukewa, in weang mwet Gibeah.
15And the children of Benjamin numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred chosen men.
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.
16All this people, even seven hundred chosen men, were left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
17Mwet Israel nukewa, sayen mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, elos solani angfoko tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun.
17And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.
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.”
18And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said: 'Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?' And the LORD said: 'Judah first.'
19Ouinge mwet Israel elos mukuiyak som ke lutu tok ah, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos apkuran nu ke siti Gibeah.
19And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20Elos som in lain mwet mweun lun Benjamin, ac oakiya solse lalos in acn ma ngetang nu ke siti ah.
20And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21Mwet mweun lun mwet Benjamin elos oatula liki siti selos, ac elos uniya mwet mweun longoul luo tausin sin mwet Israel meet liki fongeni.
21And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.
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.”
22And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
23Ouinge kui nunkalos mwet mweun lun Israel, ac elos sifil oakiya solse lalos yen na elos tuh tu we ke len meet ah.
23And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?' And the LORD said: 'Go up against him.'
24Ac elos sifilpa som lain mwet mweun Benjamin pacl se akluo.
24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25Ac mwet Benjamin elos sifilpa oatula liki Gibeah pacl se akluo, ac onela tausin singoul oalkosr sin mwet pisrla ke mweun lun mwet Israel.
25And 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.
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 .
26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
27Ac mwet Israel elos siyuk sin LEUM GOD (tuh Tuptup in Wuleang lun God oan in acn Bethel in pacl sac,
27And the children of Israel asked of the LORD — for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
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.”
28and 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 him into thy hand.'
29Ouinge mwet Israel elos okanla kutu solse lalos ac raunela acn Gibeah.
29And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.
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.
30And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
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.
31And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the field, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, about thirty men of Israel.
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.
32And 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 away from the city unto the highways.'
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.
33And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar; and the liers-in-wait of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
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.
34And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.
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.
35And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men; all these drew the sword.
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.
36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah. —
37Mwet inge elos sulaklak na yuyang nu in acn Gibeah; elos fahsrelik nu in siti sac ac uniya mwet nukewa su muta we.
37And the liers-in-wait hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew forth, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
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,
38Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait, that they should make a great beacon of smoke rise up out of the city. —
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.”
39And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and 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.'
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.
40But when the beacon began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
41Na mwet Israel elos forla, ac mwet Benjamin arulana fosrngala mweyen elos akilenak lah elos ac kutangyukla.
41And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil was come upon 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.
42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the city destroyed them in the midst of the men of Israel.
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.
43They inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and overtook them at their resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
44Singoul oalkosr tausin sin mwet fo ke mweun sin mwet Benjamin anwuki ke len se inge.
44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
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.
45And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.
46Toeni nufon mwet misa inge, oasr tausin longoul limekosr mwet Benjamin pa anwuki ke len sac — elos nukewa mwet mweun na pulaik.
46So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
47Tusruktu onfoko selos tuh kaingla nu ke Eot Rimmon yen turangang, ac tia wi anwuki. Na elos muta we malem akosr.
47But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.
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.
48And the men of Israel turned back upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found; moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
