1Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
1 Israyla borey binde jin ka ze Mizpa ra ka ne: «Iri boro, baa afo si nga ize way hiijandi Benyamin boro se.»
2And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
2 Jama binde kaa Betel. I goro noodin Irikoy jine kala wiciri kambu. I na ngey jindey sambu ka hẽ da hẽeni korno.
3And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
3 I ne: «Ya Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo! Ifo se no hayo wo te Israyla ra, hala mo i jaŋ kunda fo hunkuna Israyla ra?»
4And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
4 A ciya mo, jama tun za susuba da hinay ka sargay feema cine noodin. I na sargay kaŋ i ga ton da saabuyaŋ sargayyaŋ mo salle.
5And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
5 Israyla izey mo ne: «Israyla kundey kulu ra, may no mana kaa Rabbi do jama marga ra?» Zama i na zeyaŋ bambata te, boro kaŋ mana kaa Mizpa Rabbi do ciine ra, ka ne: «Daahir no i g'a wi.»
6And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
6 Israyla izey binde ye ka bakar ngey nya-izo Benyamin se ka ne: «I na kunda fo halaci hunkuna Israyla ra.
7How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
7 Mate no iri ga te ka du wandeyaŋ borey yaŋ kaŋ cindi se, za kaŋ iri ze da Rabbi ka ne iri si iri ize wayey hiijandi i se?»
8And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
8 I ne: «Israyla kundey ra, man bora kaŋ mana kaa Rabbi do Mizpa?» Wiiza, boro kulu mana tun Yabes-Jileyad ka kaa Mizpa jama marga do.
9For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
9 Zama saaya kaŋ i na borey lasaabu, a go, i mana Yabes-Jileyad goroko fo kulu gar noodin.
10And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
10 Jama binde na boro zambar way cindi hinka donton, kaŋ yaŋ ga yaaru nda cimi. I n'i lordi ka ne i se: «Wa koy ka Yabes-Jileyad kar da takuba parkatak! da wayborey d'i kayney care banda.
11And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
11 Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te neeya: araŋ ga alborey kulu leemun parkatak! da wayboro kulu kaŋ kani da alboro.»
12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
12 I na wandiyo zangu taaci gar Yabes-Jileyad ra, kaŋ yaŋ mana bay ka kani nda alboro ce fo. I kande wandiyey jama do Silo ra, kaŋ go Kanaana laabo ra.
13And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
13 Jama kulu donton ka salaŋ da Benyamin izey kaŋ yaŋ go Rimmon tondo ra. I na baani baaru fe i gaa.
14And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
14 Alwaato din no Benyamin borey ye ka kaa. Israyla borey na wandiyey no i se, kaŋ yaŋ i naŋ da fundi Yabes-Jileyad wayborey ra. Kulu nda yaadin, i mana wasa Benyamin borey se.
15And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
15 Jama binde bakar Benyamin se, zama Rabbi na kunda fo zeeri Israyla ra.
16Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
16 Kala jama arkusey ne: «Mate no iri ga te ka du wandeyaŋ woone yaŋ kaŋ cindi se, za kaŋ i na Benyamin wayborey wi?»
17And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
17 I ne mo: «Tilas no i ma du tubu borey kaŋ yaŋ du ka yana Benyamin ra se, zama i ma si kunda fo tuusu Israyla ra.
18Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
18 Amma iri si hin k'i no wande iri ize wandiyey ra i ma hiiji, zama Israyla izey jin ka ze ka ne: ‹Laalante no boro kaŋ ga wande no Benyamin se.› »
19Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
19 Kal i ne: «Guna, Rabbi batu go no jiiri kulu Silo ra, kaŋ go Betel se azawa kambe, fonda kaŋ ga fun Liban se dandi kambe.»
20Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
20 I na Benyamin izey lordi ka ne: «Wa koy ka gum reyzin kaley ra.
21And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
21 Araŋ ma guna. Hala day Silo izey wandiyey fatta zama ngey ma gaan se, waato din gaa araŋ mo ma fun reyzin kaley ra. Alboro fo kulu ma di nga boŋ se wande Silo ize wandiyey ra, ka koy Benyamin laabu.
22And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favorable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
22 A ga ciya mo, saaya kaŋ cine i baabey wala i armey, da i kande kalima iri do, iri ma ne i se: ‹Wa yadda k'i naŋ iri se gomni boŋ, zama iri wo, iri mana wandeyaŋ kom wongu do ka no i se. Zama d'araŋ mo man'i no sohõ cine, doŋ alhakku go araŋ boŋ.› »
23And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
23 Kala Benyamin izey te yaadin. I na wandeyaŋ sambu ngey baayaŋo hino me, kaŋ yaŋ koy ka gaan, wo kaŋ yaŋ i di ra. I tun ka ye ngey tubo do ka birniyaŋ cina ka goro i ra.
24And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
24 Israyla izey mo fay da nango din jirbey din ra. Boro kulu koy nga kunda da nga almayaaley do. Boro kulu tun noodin ka koy nga tubo do mo.
25In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
25 Jirbey din ra bonkooni si no Israyla ra. Boro kulu ga te haŋ kaŋ ga saba nga bumbo diyaŋ gaa.
