1 M arkaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu soo wada baxeen, oo shirkiina wuxuu u soo ururay sidii nin qudha, oo waxay ka soo shireen tan iyo Daan iyo xataa Bi'ir Shebac, iyo weliba dalka reer Gilecaad, oo waxay Rabbiga ugu soo shireen Misfaah.

Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the Lord at Mizpah.

2 M arkaasaa dadka madaxdiisii oo dhan ee ka socda qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ayaa isa soo dhex taagay dadka Ilaah shirkiisii, kuwaasoo ahaa afar boqol oo kun oo nin oo lug ah oo wada seefqaad ah.

The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, took their stand in the assembly of the people of God, 400, 000 foot soldiers who drew the sword.

3 ( Markaasaa reer Benyaamiin waxay maqleen in reer binu Israa'iil Misfaah tageen.) Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay yidhaahdeen, War bal noo sheeg siday xumaantanu u dhacday.

(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness take place?”

4 M arkaasuu kii reer Laawi oo ahaa ninkii qabay naagtii la dilay jawaabay oo yidhi, Waxaan imid magaalada Gibecaah oo reer Benyaamiin ay leeyihiin, oo waxaannu doonaynay inaannu ku hoyanno aniga iyo naagtaydii addoonta ahayd.

So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

5 M arkaasay raggii reer Gibecaah igu kaceen, oo habeennimo ayay gurigii igu hareereeyeen, oo waxay damceen inay i dilaan, naagtaydii addoonta ahaydna way kufsadeen, wayna dhimatay.

But the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me; instead, they ravished my concubine so that she died.

6 O o anna intaan naagtaydii addoonta ahayd qaaday ayaan cadcad u kala googooyay, oo waxaan u diray dalkii ay reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalka u heleen oo dhan; waayo, waxay reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex sameeyeen wasakhnimo iyo xumaan.

And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance; for they have committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.

7 H adda kulligiin reer binu Israa'iilow, bal ka tashada oo ka arrinsada.

Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your advice and counsel here.”

8 M arkaasaa dadkii oo dhammu isku mar isla kacay sidii nin qudha, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Annaga midkayana tegi maayo teendhadiisii, oo midkayana ku leexan maayo gurigiisii.

Then all the people arose as one man, saying, “Not one of us will go to his tent, nor will any of us return to his house.

9 L aakiinse waxa aannu Gibecaah ku samaynaynaa waa kan; saami baannu ku weeraraynaa.

But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up against it by lot.

10 Q abiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan boqolkiiba toban nin baannu kala baxaynaa, kunkiina waxaannu kala baxaynaa boqol nin, tobankii kunna waxaannu kala baxaynaa kun nin, inay dadka sahay u keenaan si markii ay tagaan Gibecaahda reer Benyaamiin ay wax ugu sameeyaan xumaantii ay ku dhex sameeyeen reer binu Israa'iil aawadeed.

And we will take 10 men out of 100 throughout the tribes of Israel, and 100 out of 1, 000, and 1, 000 out of 10, 000 to supply food for the people, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, they may punish them for all the disgraceful acts that they have committed in Israel.”

11 O o sidaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu isugu soo urursadeen magaaladii, iyagoo u midoobay sidii nin qudha.

Thus all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

12 M arkaasay qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil rag u direen qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War xumaantan dhexdiinna ka dhacday waa maxay?

Then the tribes of Israel sent men through the entire tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has taken place among you?

13 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed nimanka xunxun ee Gibecaah jooga noo soo bixiya, aannu dilnee, oo aannu reer binu Israa'iil sharka ka dhex fogaynee. Laakiinse reer Benyaamiin ma ay doonaynin inay dhegaystaan codkii reer binu Israa'iil oo walaalahood ahaa.

Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel.” But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

14 O o reer Benyaamiinna waxay iska soo urursadeen magaalooyinkii, oo waxay ku soo shireen Gibecaah, inay ku duulaan reer binu Israa'iil.

The sons of Benjamin gathered from the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.

15 O o maalintaas waa la tiriyey reer Benyaamiinkii magaalooyinka ka baxay, oo waxay noqdeen lix iyo labaatan kun oo seefqaad ah, iyo weliba kuwii Gibecaah degganaa oo tiradoodii ahayd toddoba boqol oo nin oo la soo xulay.

From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26, 000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

16 O o dadkaas oo dhanna waxaa ka mid ahaa toddoba boqol oo nin oo la soo xulay oo wada gurran, oo mid waluba ka dhaadhacay wadhafka tuuristiisa oo xataa uusan la waayayn tin.

Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

17 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo reer Benyaamiin aanay ku jirinna tiradoodii waxay ahayd afar boqol oo kun oo nin oo wada seefqaad ah; oo kulligoodna waxay ahaayeen rag dagaalgal ah.

Then the men of Israel besides Benjamin were numbered, 400, 000 men who draw the sword; all these were men of war. Civil War, Benjamin Defeated

18 M arkaasay reer binu Israa'iil kaceen, oo waxay tageen Beytel, oo Ilaah bay talo weyddiisteen. Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Yaa reer Benyaamiin marka hore noogu duulaya? Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Reer Yahuudah ha u horreeyeen.

Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, “Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?” Then the Lord said, “Judah shall go up first.”

19 S ubaxdii dambe ayay reer binu Israa'iil kaceen, oo ag degeen Gibecaah.

So the sons of Israel arose in the morning and camped against Gibeah.

20 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iil waxay u soo baxeen inay reer Benyaamiin ku duulaan; oo reer binu Israa'iilna Gibecaah bay isugu diyaariyeen inay reer Benyaamiin la dagaallamaan.

The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel arrayed for battle against them at Gibeah.

21 M arkaasay reer Benyaamiin ka soo baxeen Gibecaah, oo baabbi'iyeen reer binu Israa'iil, oo maalintaas waxay ka laayeen laba iyo labaatan kun oo nin.

Then the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and felled to the ground on that day 22, 000 men of Israel.

22 M arkaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil isdhiirrigeliyeen, oo mar kalay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen meeshii ay maalintii hore isku soo diyaariyeen.

But the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and arrayed for battle again in the place where they had arrayed themselves the first day.

23 ( Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil tageen oo ilaa fiidkii ku hor ooyeen Rabbiga, oo Rabbigay weyddiisteen iyagoo leh, Miyaannu haddana u dhowaannaa inaannu walaalahayo reer Benyaamiin la dirirno? Markaasuu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Taga oo la dirira.)

The sons of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until evening, and inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall we again draw near for battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin?” And the Lord said, “Go up against him.”

24 O o haddana maalintii labaad ayaa reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhowaadeen reer Benyaamiin.

Then the sons of Israel came against the sons of Benjamin the second day.

25 K olkaasay reer Benyaamiin maalintii labaad kaga soo baxeen Gibecaah, oo haddana waxay baabbi'iyeen reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay ka laayeen siddeed iyo toban kun oo nin oo wada seefqaad ah.

Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and felled to the ground again 18, 000 men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

26 M arkaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo dadkii oo dhammu wada tageen oo waxay yimaadeen Beytel, oo intay Rabbiga hor fadhiisteen ayay ooyeen, oo maalintaasna ilaa fiidkii way soomanaayeen; oo waxay Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.

Then all the sons of Israel and all the people went up and came to Bethel and wept; thus they remained there before the Lord and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

27 M arkaasay reer binu Israa'iil haddana Rabbiga wax weyddiisteen, (waayo, wakhtigaas waxaa halkaas oolli jiray sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah,

The sons of Israel inquired of the Lord (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

28 o o wakhtigaas waxaa is-hor taagi jiray Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar oo ina Haaruun ahaa), oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Miyaannu mar kale haddana ku duulnaa walaalahayo reer Benyaamiin, mise waannu ka joogsannaa? Markaasuu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Taga, waayo, berri baan gacanta idiin soo gelin doonaa.

and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, Aaron’s son, stood before it to minister in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin, or shall I cease?” And the Lord said, “Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”

29 M arkaasay reer binu Israa'iil Gibecaah hareeraheeda dhigeen rag gaadmo ah.

So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

30 O o haddana maalintii saddexaad reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku soo kaceen reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Gibecaah sidii mararkii hore.

The sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as at other times.

31 O o reer Benyaamiinna waxay ku soo baxeen dadkii, oo magaaladiina waa laga fogeeyey, oo waxay bilaabeen inay dadkii laayaan oo dilaan sidii mararkii hore, oo waxay ku laayeen waddooyinkii waaweynaa kuwaasoo middood Beytel loo maro, tan kalena Gibecaah loo maro, iyo duurka, oo waxay dileen in ku dhow soddon nin oo reer binu Israa'iil ah.

The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

32 M arkaasay reer Benyaamiin isku yidhaahdeen, Sidii mararkii hore ayay hortayada ugu le'deen. Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay yidhaahdeen, War aynu cararno, oo iyaga magaalada ka fogayno oo geeyno xagga waddooyinka waaweyn.

The sons of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the sons of Israel said, “Let us flee that we may draw them away from the city to the highways.”

33 M arkaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ka kaceen meeshoodii, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Bacal Taamaar; oo raggii gaadmada ahaa oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay ka soo yaaceen meeshoodii, taasoo ahayd duurka Gibecaah.

Then all the men of Israel arose from their place and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar; and the men of Israel in ambush broke out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.

34 O o waxaa Gibecaah hor yimid toban kun oo nin oo laga soo doortay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo dagaalkiina aad iyo aad buu u sii kululaaday; laakiinse ma ay ogayn in belaayo ku soo dhow dahay.

When ten thousand choice men from all Israel came against Gibeah, the battle became fierce; but Benjamin did not know that disaster was close to them.

35 M arkaasuu Rabbigu reer Benyaamiin ku laayay reer binu Israa'iil hortooda; oo maalintaas reer binu Israa'iil waxay reer Benyaamiin ka baabbi'iyeen shan iyo labaatan kun iyo boqol nin oo wada seefqaad ah.

And the Lord struck Benjamin before Israel, so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25, 100 men of Benjamin that day, all who draw the sword.

36 S idaas daraaddeed reer Benyaamiin waxay arkeen in la jebiyey, waayo, reer binu Israa'iil waxay meel u banneeyeen reer Benyaamiin, maxaa yeelay, waxay isku halleeyeen raggii qarsoonaa ee ay Gibecaah gaadmada u geliyeen.

So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,

37 M arkaasay raggii gaadmada ahaa soo dhaqsadeen oo haddiiba ku soo yaaceen Gibecaah, oo kuwii gaadmada ahaana intay soo baxeen ayay magaaladii oo dhan ku laayeen seef.

the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush also deployed and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

38 H addaba reer binu Israa'iil iyo raggii gaadmada ahaa waxaa calaamad u ahaa inay qiiq weyn ka kiciyaan magaalada.

Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.

39 M arkaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil dagaalkii ka jeesteen, oo reer Benyaamiinna waxay bilaabeen inay laayaan oo dilaan, oo waxay raggii reer binu Israa'iil ka dileen in ku dhow soddon qof; waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Hubaal sidii dagaalkii horay ku le'deen hortayada.

Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said, “Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”

40 L aakiinse markii daruurtii ka kacday magaaladii iyadoo tiir qiiq ah ayaa reer Benyaamiin dib u fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen magaaladii oo dhammaanteed qiiq samada uga baxay.

But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, Benjamin looked behind them; and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke to heaven.

41 M arkaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil soo jeesteen, oo raggii reer Benyaamiinna way yaabeen; waayo, waxay arkeen in belaayo ku dhacday iyaga.

Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.

42 S idaas daraaddeed waxay dhabarka u jeediyeen raggii reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay u carareen xagga cidlada; laakiinse dagaalkii si adag baa loola sii raacay, oo kuwii magaalooyinka ka soo baxay ayaa labadhexaadkii ku laayay.

Therefore, they turned their backs before the men of Israel toward the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them while those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

43 O o intay hareereeyeen ayay reer Benyaamiin sii eryadeen, oo waxay ku gaadheen meeshii ay ku nasteen taasoo ka horraysa oo xagga qorrax ka soo baxa ka xigta Gibecaah.

They surrounded Benjamin, pursued them without rest and trod them down opposite Gibeah toward the east.

44 O o waxaa reer Benyaamiin haddana ka le'day siddeed iyo toban kun oo nin, oo kulligoodna waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan.

Thus 18, 000 men of Benjamin fell; all these were valiant warriors.

45 O o intay jeesteen ayay u carareen xagga cidlada iyo ilaa dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon; oo waxaa jidadka waaweyn lagu sii laayay shan kun oo nin; oo waxaa loo sii raacdaystay xagga Gidcom, oo laga laayay laba kun oo nin.

The rest turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, but they caught 5, 000 of them on the highways and overtook them at Gidom and killed 2, 000 of them.

46 S idaas daraaddeed maalintaas wixii reer Benyaamiin ka le'day kulligood waxay ahaayeen shan iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah, oo kulligoodna waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan.

So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25, 000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors.

47 L aakiinse lix boqol oo nin ayaa jeesatay oo waxay u carareen xagga cidlada iyo ilaa dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon oo waxay dhagaxii weynaa oo Rimmon joogeen afar bilood.

But 600 men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon four months.

48 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iil haddana way ku soo noqdeen reer Benyaamiin, oo waxay ku laayeen seef magaaladii oo dhan, iyo xoolihii, iyo wixii ay heleen oo dhanba; oo weliba magaalooyinkii ay heleen oo dhanna dab bay qabadsiiyeen.

The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.
