Judges

20

1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
1Da tok alle Israels barn ut, og hele menigheten, like fra Dan og til Be'erseba og fra Gileads land, samlet sig som én mann for Herren i Mispa.
2And the chief 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.
2Og høvdingene for hele folket, for alle Israels stammer, stilte sig frem for Guds folks forsamling, som var fire hundre tusen mann fotfolk, væbnet med sverd.
3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
3Men Benjamins barn fikk høre at Israels barn hadde draget op til Mispa. Da sa Israels barn: Si fra hvorledes det gikk til med denne ugjerning!
4And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
4Og levitten, den myrdede kvinnes mann, tok til orde og sa: Jeg og min medhustru kom til Gibea i Benjamin for å bli der natten over.
5And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
5Men mennene i Gibea overfalt mig; de omringet om natten huset jeg var i; mig tenkte de å slå ihjel, og min medhustru krenket de, så hun døde.
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 folly in Israel.
6Da tok jeg min medhustru og skar henne i stykker og sendte henne omkring i hele Israels land og rike; for de hadde gjort en udåd og en skjenselsgjerning i Israel.
7Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
7Nu er I samlet her, alle Israels barn; si nu eders mening og gi råd her!
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 into his house.
8Da reiste hele folket sig som én mann og sa: Ingen av oss vil dra bort til sitt telt, og ingen av oss vil reise hjem til sitt hus.
9But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
9Og således vil vi gjøre med Gibea: Under loddet med det*! / {* d.e. vi vil innta og dele det ved loddkasting.}
10And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
10Nu vil vi ta ut ti mann for hvert hundre av alle Israels stammer og hundre for hvert tusen og tusen for hvert ti tusen; de skal hente levnetsmidler til folkene, så de, når de kommer til Gibea i Benjamin, kan gjengjelde det hele den skjenselsgjerning det har gjort i Israel.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
11Så samlet alle Israels menn sig og drog imot byen, samdrektige som én mann.
12And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
12Og Israels stammer sendte ut menn til alle Benjamins ætter og lot si: Hvad er dette for en ugjerning som er gjort hos eder?
13Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which 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.
13Utlever nu de ugudelige menn i Gibea, så vi kan slå dem ihjel og rydde ut det onde av Israel! Men Benjamin vilde ikke høre på sine brødres, Israels barns ord.
14But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
14Og Benjamins barn kom sammen til Gibea fra alle sine byer for å dra i krig mot Israels barn.
15And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
15Samme dag blev Benjamins barn fra byene mønstret; det var seks og tyve tusen mann som kunde dra sverd; i denne mønstring var Gibeas innbyggere, syv hundre utvalgte menn, ikke medregnet.
16Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
16Blandt alle disse folk var det syv hundre utvalgte menn som var kjevhendte; av dem rammet enhver på et hår når han slynget med sten, og feilte ikke.
17And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
17Og da Israels menn - Benjamin fraregnet - blev mønstret, utgjorde de fire hundre tusen mann som kunde dra sverd; hver av dem var en krigsmann.
18And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
18De gjorde sig ferdige og drog op til Betel og spurte Gud. Israels barn sa: Hvem av oss skal først dra op og stride mot Benjamins barn? Og Herren sa: Juda skal først.
19And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
19Så brøt Israels barn op om morgenen og leiret sig midt imot Gibea.
20And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
20Og Israels menn gikk frem til strid mot Benjamin, og Israels menn stilte sig i fylking mot dem bortimot Gibea.
21And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
21Da drog Benjamins barn ut av Gibea og slo den dag to og tyve tusen mann av Israel til jorden.
22And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
22Men folket, Israels menn, tok mot til sig og stilte sig atter i fylking på samme sted hvor de hadde stilt sig op den første dag -
23(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
23Israels barn drog op og gråt for Herrens åsyn til om aftenen, og de spurte Herren og sa: Skal jeg atter gå frem til strid mot min bror Benjamins barn? Og Herren sa: Dra op mot ham! -
24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
24Så gikk da Israels barn frem til strid mot Benjamins barn den annen dag.
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.
25Og Benjamin drog ut mot dem fra Gibea den annen dag og slo ennu atten tusen mann av Israels barn til jorden; alle disse kunde dra sverd.
26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
26Da drog alle Israels barn, hele folket, op til Betel; der satt de og gråt for Herrens åsyn og fastet den dag til om aftenen, og de ofret brennoffer og takkoffer for Herrens åsyn.
27And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
27Og Israels barn spurte Herren - for i den tid stod Guds pakts-ark der,
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 them into thine hand.
28og Pinehas, sønn av Eleasar og sønnesønn av Aron, gjorde i den tid tjeneste for hans åsyn. - De sa: Skal jeg ennu en gang dra ut til strid mot min bror Benjamins barn, eller skal jeg la det være? Og Herren sa: Dra op! For imorgen vil jeg gi ham i din hånd.
29And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
29Så la Israel folk i bakhold rundt omkring Gibea.
30And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
30Og Israels barn drog op mot Benjamins barn den tredje dag og stilte sig op bortimot Gibea, likesom de tidligere ganger.
31And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
31Da drog Benjamins barn ut imot folket og blev dradd bort fra byen; og likesom de tidligere ganger felte de i førstningen nogen av folket på alfarveiene som fører opover, den ene til Betel og den andre over marken til Gibea; det var omkring tretti mann av Israel de slo ihjel.
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 from the city unto the highways.
32Og Benjamins barn sa: De ligger under for oss, nu som før. Men Israels barn sa: La oss flykte og dra dem bort fra byen, ut på alfarveiene!
33And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
33Så brøt alle Israels menn op fra det sted hvor de hadde stått, og stilte sig op i Ba'al-Tamar, mens Israels bakhold brøt frem fra sitt sted, fra Geba-sletten.
34And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
34Og ti tusen utvalgte menn av hele Israel kom like foran Gibea, og striden blev hård; men Benjamins barn visste ikke at ulykken var like innpå dem.
35And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
35Og Herren lot Benjamin ligge under for Israel, og Israels barn felte den dag fem og tyve tusen og et hundre mann av Benjamin; alle disse kunde dra sverd.
36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
36Benjamins barn tenkte først at Israels menn var slått; for de trakk sig tilbake for Benjamin, idet de satte sin lit til det bakhold de hadde lagt mot Gibea.
37And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
37Men nu brøt bakholdet op i hast og falt inn i Gibea, og bakholdet drog frem og slo hele byen med sverdets egg.
38Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
38Og det var gjort den avtale mellem Israels menn og bakholdet at disse skulde la en tett røk stige op fra byen.
39And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, 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.
39Så vendte da Israels menn sig om i striden - Benjamin hadde i førstningen felt nogen av Israels menn, omkring tretti mann, og sa derfor: Sannelig de ligger under for oss, likesom i det første slag.
40But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
40Og da røken begynte å stige op fra byen som en svær støtte, hadde Benjamin vendt sig om og sett at hele byen stod i én lue som slo op mot himmelen.
41And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
41Da nu Israels menn vendte sig om, blev Benjamins menn forferdet, for de så at ulykken var like inn på dem.
42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
42Og de vendte sig og flyktet for Israels menn og tok veien til ørkenen; men striden fulgte dem i hælene, og dem som var fra byene*, dem felte de** midt iblandt dem. / {* DMR 20, 14. 15.} / {** Israels menn.}
43Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
43De omringet Benjamin, forfulgte ham og trådte ham ned hvor han hvilte, til de var like i øst for Gibea.
44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
44Og det falt av Benjamin atten tusen mann, alle sammen djerve stridsmenn.
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 pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
45Så vendte de sig og flyktet til ørkenen bortimot Rimmons klippe, og på alfarveiene holdt de* en efterslett iblandt dem på fem tusen mann, og de forfulgte dem til Gideon og slo to tusen mann av dem. / {* Israels menn.}
46So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
46De som falt av Benjamin den dag, var i alt fem og tyve tusen mann som kunde dra sverd, alle sammen djerve stridsmenn.
47But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
47Men seks hundre mann vendte sig og flyktet ut i ørkenen, til Rimmons klippe, og de blev på Rimmons klippe i fire måneder.
48And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
48Men Israels menn vendte tilbake til Benjamins barn og slo dem med sverdets egg, både byen med sine folk og feet og alt hvad der fantes; og alle byene som fantes der, satte de ild på.
