1Siis läksid kõik Iisraeli lapsed välja: kogudus tuli kokku nagu üks mees Daanist kuni Beer-Sebani ja Gileadimaalt Issanda juurde Mispasse.
1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yahweh at Mizpah.
2Ja kogu rahva ülemad ja kõik Iisraeli suguharud asusid Jumala rahva kogudusse, nelisada tuhat jalameest, mõõgatõmbajat.
2The 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 who drew sword.
3Ka benjaminlased kuulsid, et Iisraeli lapsed olid tulnud Mispasse. Ja Iisraeli lapsed ütlesid: 'Rääkige, kuidas see kuritöö sündis?'
3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
4Ja mees, leviit, tapetud naise mees, vastas ning ütles: 'Mina ja mu liignaine tulime öömajale Benjamini päralt olevasse Gibeasse.
4The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5Aga Gibea kodanikud kippusid mulle kallale ja piirasid öösel minu pärast koda, tahtes mind tappa; ja nad vägistasid mu liignaist, nõnda et ta suri.
5The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They thought to have slain me, and they forced my concubine, and she is dead.
6Siis ma võtsin oma liignaise ja lõikasin tema tükkideks ning läkitasin need kõigisse Iisraeli pärisosa maa-aladesse, sest nad on teinud Iisraelis häbiteo ja jäleduse.
6I 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.
7Vaata, te olete kõik siin, Iisraeli lapsed! Rääkige siin isekeskis ja andke nõu!'
7Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
8Siis tõusis kogu rahvas nagu üks mees, öeldes: 'Keegi meist ärgu pöördugu koju!
8All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.
9Ja mida me nüüd Gibeaga teeme, on see: tema vastu liisu läbi!
9But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
10Me võtame kümme meest saja kohta kõigist Iisraeli suguharudest, ja sada tuhande kohta, ja tuhat kümne tuhande kohta, rahvale moona tooma, et need Benjamini Gibeasse tulles võiksid talitada vastavalt kõigele jäledusele, mis Iisraelis on tehtud.'
10and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have worked in Israel.”
11Nõnda kogunesid kõik Iisraeli mehed selle linna juurde, olles ühinenud nagu üheks meheks.
11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12Ja Iisraeli suguharud läkitasid mehi kõigi Benjamini suguvõsade juurde ütlema: 'Milline kuritöö küll teie keskel on sündinud!
12The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that is happen among you?
13Andke nüüd välja need kõlvatud mehed, kes on Gibeas, ja me surmame nad ning kõrvaldame Iisraelist kurjuse!' Aga benjaminlased ei tahtnud kuulata oma vendade, Iisraeli laste häält.
13Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.
14Ja benjaminlased kogunesid oma linnadest Gibeasse, et minna sõtta Iisraeli laste vastu.
14The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15Ja sel päeval loeti linnadest olevaid benjaminlasi: kakskümmend kuus tuhat meest, mõõgatõmbajat; peale nende loeti Gibea elanikest seitsesada valitud meest.
15The children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16Kogu sellest rahvast olid seitsesada valitud meest vasakukäelised: kõik need lingutasid kivi karvapealt ega eksinud mitte.
16Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; everyone could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
17Ja Iisraeli mehi loeti peale benjaminlaste nelisada tuhat mõõgatõmbajat meest; need kõik olid sõjamehed.
17The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword: all these were men of war.
18Ja nad võtsid kätte ja läksid Peetelisse ning küsisid Jumalalt; Iisraeli lapsed küsisid: 'Kes meist peab esimesena minema sõtta benjaminlaste vastu?' Issand vastas: 'Esimesena Juuda!'
18The children of Israel arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God; and they said, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” Yahweh said, “Judah first.”
19Ja hommikul võtsid Iisraeli lapsed kätte ning lõid leeri üles Gibea ette.
19The children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
20Ja Iisraeli mehed läksid sõdima benjaminlaste vastu; ja Iisraeli mehed seadsid endid tapluseks nende vastu Gibea juures.
20The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21Aga benjaminlased tulid Gibeast välja ja surmasid sel päeval Iisraeli seast kakskümmend kaks tuhat meest.
21The children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
22Ent rahvas, Iisraeli mehed, kinnitasid endid ja seadsid endid jälle tapluseks paigas, kus nad esimesel päeval olid endid valmis seadnud.
22The 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.
23Ja Iisraeli lapsed läksid üles ja nutsid Issanda ees õhtuni ning küsisid Issandalt, öeldes: 'Kas pean veel minema sõdima oma venna Benjamini poegade vastu?' Ja Issand vastas: 'Minge nende vastu!'
23The children of Israel went up and wept before Yahweh until evening; and they asked of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” Yahweh said, “Go up against him.”
24Ja teisel päeval lähenesid Iisraeli lapsed benjaminlastele.
24The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25Aga benjaminlased tulid teisel päeval Gibeast välja nende vastu ja surmasid Iisraeli laste seast veel kaheksateist tuhat meest; need kõik olid mõõgatõmbajad.
25Benjamin 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.
26Siis läksid üles kõik Iisraeli lapsed, kogu rahvas, ja nad tulid Peetelisse; nad nutsid ja istusid seal Issanda ees ja paastusid sel päeval õhtuni ning ohverdasid Issanda ees põletus- ja tänuohvreid.
26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before Yahweh, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
27Ja Iisraeli lapsed küsisid Issandalt, sest Jumala seaduselaegas oli neil päevil seal
27The children of Israel asked of Yahweh (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28ja Aaroni poja Eleasari poeg Piinehas seisis sel ajal selle ees, ja nad ütlesid: 'Kas pean veel minema sõdima oma venna Benjamini poegade vastu või pean loobuma?' Ja Issand vastas: 'Mine, sest homme ma annan nad sinu kätte!'
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?” Yahweh said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”
29Siis Iisrael asetas varitsejad ümber Gibea.
29Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
30Ja Iisraeli lapsed läksid kolmandal päeval benjaminlaste vastu ja seadsid endid Gibea vastu nagu eelmistel kordadel.
30The 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.
31Ja benjaminlased tulid välja rahva vastu, aga nad meelitati linnast eemale; nagu eelmistelgi kordadel lõid nad alguses rahva hulgast surnuks teede peal, millest üks läheb üles Peetelisse ja teine üle välja Gibeasse, ligi kolmkümmend Iisraeli meest.
31The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32Ja benjaminlased ütlesid: 'Nad on meie ees maha löödud nagu ennegi!' Aga Iisraeli lapsed ütlesid: 'Põgenegem ja meelitagem nad linnast eemale maanteedele!'
32The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.”
33Siis kõik Iisraeli mehed tõusid oma paigast ja seadsid endid valmis Baal-Taamaris, ja Iisraeli varitsejad tormasid oma paigast Gibea ümbrusest.
33All the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar: and the ambushers of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.
34Nõnda tuli Gibea ette kümme tuhat valitud meest kogu Iisraelist ja taplus oli kange; aga benjaminlased ei teadnud, et neile ligineb õnnetus.
34There came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that evil was close on them.
35Ja Issand lõi Benjamini Iisraeli ees, ja Iisraeli lapsed hävitasid sel päeval Benjaminist kakskümmend viis tuhat ükssada meest; need kõik olid mõõgatõmbajad.
35Yahweh struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36Siis benjaminlased nägid, et nad olid löödud; ja Iisraeli mehed andsid benjaminlastele maad, sest nad lootsid varitsejate peale, keda nad olid seadnud Gibea vastu.
36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
37Ja varitsejad tõttasid ning tungisid Gibeale kallale; varitsejad talitasid otsustavalt ja nad lõid mõõgateraga maha kogu linna.
37The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the ambushers drew themselves along, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38Ja Iisraeli meestel oli varitsejatega leppemärk: nad lasku linnast suur suitsupilv üles tõusta!
38Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39Kui Iisraeli mehed tapluses pöördusid, benjaminlased olid alguses Iisraeli meestest maha löönud ligi kolmkümmend meest, sest nad mõtlesid: 'Nad on tõesti meie ees maha löödud nagu eelmises tapluses',
39The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.”
40siis hakkas linnast tõusma leppemärk, suitsusammas. Ja kui benjaminlased pöördusid, vaata, siis tõusis kogu linn suitsuna taeva poole.
40But when the cloud 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 the sky.
41Kui Iisraeli mehed pöördusid, siis Benjamini mehed kohkusid, sest nad nägid, et neid oli tabanud õnnetus.
41The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil had come on them.
42Nad pöördusid Iisraeli meeste eest kõrbe poole, aga taplus sai nad kätte; ja need, kes tulid linnadest, hävitasid neid eneste keskel.
42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in its midst.
43Nad piirasid benjaminlased ümber ja jälitasid neid, tallasid neid maha puhkepaigast kuni vastu Gibead päikesetõusu poole.
43They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrise.
44Nõnda langes benjaminlastest kaheksateist tuhat meest; need kõik olid vaprad mehed.
44There fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
45Siis nad pöördusid ümber ja põgenesid kõrbe, Rimmoni kalju suunas; aga Iisraeli lapsed noppisid maanteedelt ülejäänuist veel viis tuhat meest; ja nad ajasid neid taga kuni Gideomini ja lõid neist maha veel kaks tuhat meest.
45They turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck of them two thousand men.
46Nõnda oli kõiki sel päeval benjaminlastest langenuid kakskümmend viis tuhat meest, mõõgatõmbajat; need kõik olid vaprad mehed.
46So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
47Ainult kuussada meest pöördus ümber ja põgenes kõrbe, Rimmoni kalju peale; nad jäid Rimmoni kalju peale neljaks kuuks.
47But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48Aga Iisraeli mehed läksid tagasi benjaminlaste juurde ja lõid need maha mõõgateraga, nii meessoost linlased kui loomad ja kõik, keda tabasid; nad panid põlema ka kõik linnad, mis ette juhtusid.
48The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the livestock, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
