1Ke mwet Israel elos tuh toeni in acn Mizpah, elos orala sie wulela ku inmasrlolos nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Wangin sie sesr ac fah fuhlela mwet Benjamin in payuk sin acn natusr.”
1Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
2Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos som nu Bethel ac muta we ye mutun God nwe ke ekela. Elos tung ac mwemelil ac fahk,
2The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.
3“O LEUM GOD lun Israel, efu ku ma inge sikyak nu sesr— Efu ku sruf lal Benjamin in wanginla liki Israel?”
3They said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be one tribe lacking in Israel today?”
4Toang in lutu tok ah mwet uh tukakek ac tulokunak sie loang we. Elos orek mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa firir.
4On the next day, the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
5Ac elos siyuk, “Ya oasr sie inmasrlon sruf lun Israel inge tia wi tukeni ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Mizpah?” (Elos tuh wulela mu kutena mwet su tia wi som nu ke toeni se orek Mizpah ah, ac fah anwuki.)
5The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”
6Mwet Israel elos arulana pakomuta mwet wialos in sruf lal Benjamin, ac elos fahk, “Misenge, sie sin sruf lun Israel wanginla.
6The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.
7Mea kut ac oru tuh in oasr mutan kien mukul lula ke sruf lal Benjamin— Kut tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD lah kut ac fah tiana lela acn natusr in payuk selos.”
7How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”
8Ke elos tuh suk lah oasr mwet Israel tia wi toeni se orek in acn Mizpah, elos konauk tuh wangin mwet Jabesh in acn Gilead wi som nu ke tukeni sac.
8They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.
9Ke pacl in pang inen mwet mweun ma som ah, wangin mwet liki acn Jabesh topuk.
9For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.
10Ke ma inge elos supwala singoul luo tausin mwet mweun na pulaik lalos nu Jabesh, ac fahk nu selos, “Fahla ac onela mwet nukewa in acn Jabesh, wi pac mutan ac tulik nukewa.
10The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.
11Uniya mukul nukewa oayapa mutan nukewa, sayen mutan virgin.”
11This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”
12Na elos konauk mutan fusr virgin angfoko inmasrlon mwet Jabesh, na elos usalosla nu ke nien aktuktuk lalos in acn Shiloh in facl Canaan.
12They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13Na mwet nukewa su toeni ah elos sapla nu sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin su muta ke Eot Rimmon ac fahk, “Kut lungse tuh in oasr misla inmasrlosr.”
13The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.
14Na mwet Benjamin elos foloko ke pacl sac, ac mwet Israel ke sruf ngia elos sang nu selos mutan ma elos tia onela sin mwet in acn Jabesh, tusruktu mutan inge puelac nu selos.
14Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.
15Mwet ah pakomuta sruf lal Benjamin mweyen LEUM GOD El kunausla akupasri lun sruf Israel.
15The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16Ouinge mwet matu inmasrlon toeni sac elos fahk, “Ke wangin mutan lula in sruf lal Benjamin, kut ac konauk fuka mutan kien mwet lula inge?
16Then the elders of the congregation said, “How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”
17Tia wo in wanginla sie sin sruf lun Israel uh. Kut enenu na in suk oreya tuh in folokonak sruf lal Benjamin.
17They said, “There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.
18Tusruktu kut tia ku in sang acn natusr in payuk selos mweyen kut tuh orala sie fulahk fahk mu ac fah mwe selnga nu sin mwet se su fuhlela tuh sie mukul Benjamin in payuk sin acn natusr.”
18However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, ‘Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”
19Na elos esamak lah sie pacl in kufwa nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh apkuranme. (Acn se inge oasr eir in acn Bethel, ac epang in acn Lebonah, ac kutulap in innek soko inmasrlon Bethel ac Shechem.)
19They said, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”
20Ouinge elos fahk nu sin mwet Benjamin, “Kowos som ac wikwik in ima grape we
20They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,
21ac soano. Ke tulik mutan in acn Shiloh ac ilme in wi onsrosro ke pacl in kufwa uh, na kowos ilme liki ima grape, ac kais sie suwos eis kais sie mutan tuh in ma kiowos ac usalos som nu in acn suwos an.
21and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22Papa tumalos ac mukul wialos fin tuku lain kowos kac, na kowos fahk nu selos, ‘Nunak munas, fuhlelosme nu sesr, mweyen kut tia sruokolosi ke mweun sac tuh elos in ma kiasr. Na ke sripen tia kowos pa usalosme nu sesr uh, wangin mwatuwos ke wulela se ma kowos tuh orala.’”
22It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”
23Pa inge ma mwet Benjamin elos oru: ke pacl se mutan inge onsrosro, kais sie mukul Benjamin elos sruokya kais sie mutan ac usalosla tuh in ma kialos. Ouinge elos folokla nu yen selos ac sifilpa musaeak siti srisrik in acn we ac muta we.
23The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.
24In pacl sac pacna, mwet Israel nukewa saya elos folokelik, kais sie mwet nu in sruf lal ac sou lal ac acn sel sifacna.
24The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.
25In pacl se inge wangin tokosra lun mwet Israel. Kais sie mwet sifacna oru ma el nunku mu suwohs ye mutal sifacna.
25In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
