Judges 20

Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer–sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

Na ka puta nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, a huihui ana te whakaminenga me te mea he tangata kotahi, no Rana mai ano a Peerehepa atu ana, no te whenua ano hoki o Kireara, ki a Ihowa, ki Mihipa.

And 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.

I puta mai ano nga rangatira o te iwi katoa, o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, i roto i te huihui o te iwi a te Atua, e wha rau nga mano, he hunga haere i raro, he hunga mau hoari.

(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?

A i rongo nga tamariki a Pineamine kua tae nga tamariki a Iharaira ki Mihipa. Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira, Korerotia mai i peheatia tenei mea kino.

And 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.

Na ka utua e te Riwaiti, e te tangata nana te wahine i kohurutia ra, ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki Kipea, ki tera i a Pineamine, maua ko taku wahine iti, moe ai.

And 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.

Na ko te whakatikanga mai o nga tangata o Kipea ki ahau, kei te karapoti i te whare i te po, he mea hoki moku; i mea ratou kia patua ahau: na whakaititia ana taku wahine a mate iho.

And 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.

Na ka mau ahau ki taku wahine, a tapatapahia ana e ahau, hoatu ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua, i te kainga tupu o Iharaira, mo ratou i mahi i te mahi kino, i te mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira.

Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

Na, e nga tamariki a Iharaira, koutou katoa, homai ki konei ta koutou kupu, me to koutou whakaaro.

And 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.

Na ka whakatika katoa te iwi ano he tangata kotahi, ka mea, E kore tetahi o tatou e haere ki tona teneti, e kore ano hoki tetahi o tatou e peka atu ki tona whare.

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

Engari ko ta tatou tenei e mea ai ki Kipea: ma te rota te tikanga mo ta tatou whawhai ki reira.

And 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.

Me tango tangata, kia tekau i roto i te rau, i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, he rau i roto i te mano, he mano i roto i te tekau mano, hei mau o mo te iwi; a ka tae ki Kipea o Pineamine ka rite ta ratou e mea ai ki nga mea poauau katoa i mahia e rato u i roto i a Iharaira.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

Heoi huihui ana nga tangata katoa o Iharaira hei whakaeke mo te pa, piri tonu me te mea he tangata kotahi ratou.

And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?

Na ka tono tangata nga iwi o Iharaira puta noa i te iwi katoa o pineamine, hei mea, He aha tenei mea kino kua meatia nei i roto i a koutou?

Now 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:

Na homai aianei aua tangata, nga tama a Periara i Kipea, kia whakamatea e matou, kia whakakorea ai te kino i roto i a Iharaira. Otiia kihai a Pineamine i pai ki te whakarongo ki te reo o o ratou tuakana, o nga tamariki a Iharaira.

But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

Na ka huihui nga tama a Pineamine i roto i nga pa ki Kipea, ka haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Iharaira.

And 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.

Na ka taua i taua ra nga tama a Pineamine o nga pa, e rua tekau ma ono mano nga tangata, he hunga mau hoari; tera atu ano nga tangata o Kipea; i taua ratou e whitu rau tangata, whiriwhiri rawa.

Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

Kei roto ano i tenei hunga katoa etahi, e whitu rau, he hunga whiriwhiri, he maui; ko enei katoa he hunga e piua ai te kohatu ki te huruhuru mahunga, a e kore e taha.

And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

I taua ano hoki nga tangata o Iharaira, nga mea ehara i a Pineamine, e wha rau mano tangata, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga hapai pakanga enei katoa.

And 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.

Katahi nga tama a Iharaira ka whakatika, ka haere ki Peteere, ka ui atu ki te Atua, ka mea, Ko wai o matou hei timata te haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ma Hura e timata.

And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

Na ka maranga nga tama a Iharaira i te ata, a ka noho ki Kipea.

And 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.

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Pineamine; a whakaritea ana a ratou ngohi e nga tama a Iharaira mo te whawhai ki Kipea.

And 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.

Na ka puta nga tama a Pineamine i roto i Kipea, a pirau rawa i a ratou ki te whenua i taua ra e rua tekau ma rua mano o nga tangata o Iharaira.

And 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.

Na ka whakatenatena te iwi, nga tangata o Iharaira, i a ratou ano, a whakaritea ana ano a ratou ngaohi kia whawhai ai ki taua wahi ano i whakaritea ai i te ra tuatahi.

(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.)

I haere ano nga tama a Iharaira, i tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowa a ahiahi noa, i ui atu hoki ki a Ihowa, i mea, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere ki te whawhai ki a ia.

And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

Na ka whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te rua o nga ra.

And 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.

I puta mai ano a Pineamine i roto i Kipea i te rua o nga ra ki te tu ki a ratou, a pirau rawa ano i a ratou ki te whenua tekau ma waru mano o nga tama a Iharaira; he hunga mau hoari katoa enei.

Then 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.

Katahi ka haere nga tama katoa a Iharaira me te iwi katoa, a ka tae ki Peteere; na ka tangi ratou, a ka noho i reira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kahore rawa hoki i kai i taua ra a ahiahi noa; me te whakaeke ano hoki i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahe re mo te pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

Na ka ui nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, i reira hoki te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua i aua ra,

And 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.

Ko Pinehaha hoki, tama a Ereatara, tama a Arona, te tu ana i tona aroaro i aua ra; ka mea ratou, Me haere atu ano ahau ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Pineamine, a toku teina, me whakamutu ranei? Na ka mea a Ihowa, Haere, ko apopo hoki ratou hoatu a i e ahau ki tou ringa.

And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

Katahi ka whakatakotoria he pehipehi e Iharaira mo Kipea a taka noa, taka noa.

And 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.

Na ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine i te toru o nga ra, e whakatakotoria ana nga ngohi hei whawhai ki Kipea, pera ano me mua ra.

And 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.

Na ko te putanga mai o nga tama a Pineamine ki te tu ki te iwi, manukawhakitia ana ratou i te pa; na ka timata ratou te patu i etahi o te iwi, te tukituki, te pera me mua ra, i nga huarahi e tika atu ra, ko tetahi ki Peteere, ko tetahi ki Kipea i te parae, me te mea e toru tekau nga tangata o Iharaira.

And 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.

Na ka mea nga tama a Pineamine, Kua hinga ratou i a tatou, kua pera me to te timatanga. Otiia i mea nga tama a Iharaira, Kia rere atu tatou; me manukawhaki mai ratou i roto i te pa ki nga huarahi.

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal–tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

Na ka whakatika ake nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i o ratou wahi, a ka tu a matua ki Paaratamara: i puta mai ano nga pehipehi o Iharaira i to ratou wahi, ara i Marehekepa.

And 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.

Na haere tonu atu ki Kipea nga tangata kotahi tekau mano, he hunga whiriwhiri i roto i a Iharaira katoa, a ka nui haere te whawhai: kihai ratou i mohio ka tata te kino ki a ratou.

And 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.

Na patua iho e Ihowa a Pineamine i te aroaro o Iharaira, a ngaro iho o Pineamine i nga tama a Iharaira i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano kotahi rau: he hunga mau hoari enei katoa.

So 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.

Heoi ka kite nga tama a Pineamine e patua ana ratou: i tukua mai a Pineamine e nga tangata o Iharaira, i whakamanawa atu hoki ki te pehipehi i whakatakotoria e ratou ki Kipea.

And 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.

Na hohoro tonu te pehipehi, huakina ana e ratou a Kipea; te unuhanga mai hoki o te pehipehi, na patua iho e ratou te pa katoa ki te mata o te hoari.

Now 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.

Na kua oti tetahi tohu te whakarite e nga tangata o Iharaira ki te pehipehi, ara kia meinga e ratou kia nui te kake o te pongere o te paowa i te pa.

And 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.

A, i te whatinga o nga tangata o Iharaira i te mea e whawhai ana, ka anga a Pineamine, ka patu, ka tukituki i nga tangata o Iharaira, me te mea e toru tekau tangata: i mea hoki ratou, Koia rawa ano! e hinga ana ano ratou i a tatou, e pera ana an o me to te whawhaitanga tuatahi.

But 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.

Otiia ka timata nei te kake o te pongere o te pa ki runga, me te pou auahi, na ka titiro nga Pineamini ki muri i a ratou, nga kua pau te pa i te ahi, e kake ana tera he paowa ki te rangi.

And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

Ko te tahuritanga atu o nga tangata o Iharaira, kanakana kau ana nga tangata o Pineamine; i kite hoki ratou kua tae mai te he ki a ratou.

Therefore 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.

Na reira ka whati ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Iharaira ki te huarahi ki te koraha; otiia i pipiri tonu te whai a te hoariri i a ratou; na, ko te hunga i puta mai i roto i nga pa, kei te whakangaro i a ratou, he mea karapoti na ratou.

Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

Ka karapotia e ratou nga Pineamini a taka noa, a whaia ana, takatakahia ana i o ratou okiokinga, i te ritenga atu o Kipea whaka te rawhiti.

And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.

A kotahi tekau ma waru mano o nga tangata o Pineamine i hinga: he hunga maia enei katoa.

And 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.

Na ka whati ratou, a rere ana ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono: a e rima mano tangata i hamua e ratou ki nga huarahi, na ka whaia ano ratou ki Kiromo, a patua iho o ratou e rua mano tangata.

So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

Na ko te hunga katoa i hinga o Pineamine i taua ra, e rua tekau ma rima mano, he hunga mau hoari: he hunga maia katoa enei.

But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

A e ono rau tangata i tahuri, i rere ki te koraha, ki te kamaka o Rimono, a e wha nga marama i noho ai ki te kamaka o Rimono.

And 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.

A i tahuri atu ano nga tangata o Iharaira ki nga tama a Pineamine, a patua iho ratou ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata o nga pa, me nga kararehe, me nga mea katoa i tupono atu ai ratou: i tungia ano e ratou ki te ahi nga pa katoa i tae atu a i ratou.
