1Agho Abaisiraeli boonaboona, okuva mu kiketezo kya Dani okutuuka e Beerisheba, n’okuva e Gileadi, beesoloza ghalala nga bali kitole mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda e Mizipa. 2Abakulembeze b’ebika bya Isiraeli byonabyona baaligho mu lwekobaano lw’abantu ba Katonda, abalwani emitwalo amakumi ana (400,000) ab’oku bigere. 3Mu kiseera ekyo ab’omu kika kya Benjamini baawulira bati Baisiraeli banaibwe abandi boonaboona beesololeiza e Mizipa.
Abaisiraeli baabuuza bati: “Tukobere, ekibi kino kyava ku ki okukolebwa?” 4Omulevi, iba w’omukazi eyaitibwa, yairamu ati: “Naja e Gibea mu kiketezo kya Benjamini okusulayo, nga ndi ghalala ni mukazi wange. 5Abasaadha ab’e Gibea baanumba, baazingiza endhu mwe nali obwire, baagyezunguluza. Baali benda kundhita, aye baamala baika ku mukazi wange baamukaka, yaafa. 6Naatwala omulambo gwe, naagusalasalamu ebitundu, naagheereza mu biketezo byonabyona ebyagheebwa Isiraeli ng’omugabo kuba baakola ekyenhinhalwa era eky’obudankaanu mu Isiraeli. 7Kale imwe Abaisiraeli mwenamwena, muteese mubone eky’okukola.”
8Abantu boonaboona baasituka nga bali kitole, baakoba bati: “Ghazira waire omulala ku ife anairayo mu weema oba mu ndhu ye. 9Aye kino kye twidha okukola Gibea: twidha kukuba akalulu, memale tuje tukirwanise. 10Abasaadha ikumi ku buli kikumi mu bika bya Isiraeli baidha kuleetera abalwani emere, abandi boonaboona baje beesasuulize ku Gibea ekya Benjamini, olw’ekikolwa ekyo eky’obudankaanu kye baakola mu Isiraeli.” 11Kale abasaadha boonaboona ab’omu Isiraeli beesoloza nga bali kitole, okulumba ekibuga ekyo.
12Agho ab’ekika kya Isiraeli baatuma abakwenda mu kiketezo kya Benjamini kyonakyona okubakoba bati: “Kiive ki kino kye mwakola? 13Kale ni mpegaano, mugheeyo abasaadha abadankaanu abali mu Gibea tubaite, tutoolegho ekibi kino mu Isiraeli.” Aye Ababenjamini baaloba kuwulirisa Baisiraeli banaibwe abo. 14Baava mu bibuga bya Benjamini byonabyona, beesololeza mu Gibea okulwanisa Baisiraeli banaibwe.
15Baatoola mu bibuga byaibwe abalwani emitwalo ebiri na kakaaga (26,000) ku lunaku olwo nga tobaliireeku abo abaalondebwa okuva mu batyamye b’omu Gibea mwene, abaaghera olusanvu. 16Mu basaadha abo boonaboona mwalimu abaalondebwa n’obwegendereza lusanvu abakozesa omugooda, nga buli muntu asobola okuta eibaale mu nsuumulo, yaakuba oluviiri olulala luti aghazira kulemwa kuluteeba. 17Ebika eby’Abaisiraeli ebindi, ng’otoireku ekya Benjamini, byasoloza abalwani beene abaziramu ntete, emitwalo amakumi ana (400,000).
Olutalo n’Ababenjamini
18Abaisiraeli beesitula baaniinaniina okuja e Betheli, baabuuza Katonda bati: “Kika ki ekibe kisooke okulumba Ababenjamini?” Yaabairamu ati: “Ekika kya Yuda n’ekibe kisooke.”
19Kale ku lunaku olwairirira, Abaisiraeli baawuuna ku nkyo, baazingiza ekibuga Gibea okukyezunguluza. 20Baata abalwani mu lunhiriri, okulingiriza Ababenjamini, agho mu Gibea. 21Ababenjamini baava mu kibuga ekyo Gibea baidha okulwana. Baita abalwani Abaisiraeli emitwalo ebiri n’enkumi ibiri (22,000) ku lunaku olwo. 22Aye ekyo kyaloba kumala mu Baisiraeli maani. Baaguma baata kabiri abalwani mu lunhiriri, mu kifo gheene ghe baabata ku lunaku olwasooka. 23Agho baaniinaniina okuja mu kifo ye basinziza, baalirira mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda okutuusa eigulo. Baabuuza Musengwa Katonda bati: “Twiremu kabiri okulumba baganda baife Ababenjamini tubalwanise?” Musengwa Katonda yairamu ati: “Muje mubalwanise.”
24Kale baalumba Ababenjamini baabalwanisa olunaku olwokubiri. 25N’Ababenjamini boona baava mu kibuga Gibea okubalwanisa omukuzi ogwokubiri. Ku mukuzi guno baita Abaisiraeli omutwalo mulala na kanaana (18,000), abalwani beene abaziramu ntete. 26Agho abalwani ba Isiraeli boonaboona baaniinaniina baaja e Betheli, baalirira eyo. Baaba eyo mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda olunaku olwo, nga ghazira ke bali kulya naire okutuusa eigulo. Baaghaayo ye Musengwa Katonda oyo ebigheebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebigheebwayo olw’okutabagana.
27-28Mu biseera ebyo, Esanduuku ey’Endagaano ya Katonda yabanga eyo e Betheli, era nga Finehasi mutabane wa Eleazari era mwidhukulu wa Aaroni, n’agirabirira. Abaisiraeli baabuuza Musengwa Katonda bati: “Twiremu kabiri okulwanisa baganda baife Ababenjamini, oba tubiveeku?” Musengwa Katonda yairamu ati: “Muje mulwane, kuba olwaidho ndidha kubagha Ababenjamini abo mubaghangule.”
29Agho Abaisiraeli baataagho abalwani, baabwama nga beeteeze agho ku kibuga Gibea okukyezunguluza. 30Olwo baaniinaniina baaja okulwanisa Ababenjamini olunaku olwokusatu. Beetegeka mu nhiriri okulingiriza Gibea, bakirwanise ng’oti ni bwe baakola ku mikuzi gire. 31Ababenjamini baavaayo okulwana, baasendebwasendebwa okuva mu kibuga. Baakola ng’oti ni ku mikuzi egindi, baatoolera okukubira n’okwitira abandi ku Baisiraeli ku nguudo; ku lundi oluniinaniina e Betheli, ni ku lundi oluja e Gibea, era ni mu irungu. Baita Abaisiraeli ng’amakumi asatu. 32Ababenjamini baakoba bati: “Tubaghangwire nga bwe twakola ku mikuzi egyasooka.” Aye Abaisiraeli baakoba bati: “Ka tulumuke tubasendesende bave mu kibuga, baire mu nguudo.”
33Kale Abaisiraeli boonaboona baasituka baava mu kifo kye baalimu, baaja beeteega mu nhiriri e Baalitamari. Olwo n’Abaisiraeli abaali babwaime nga beeteeze, baaziinhuuka mu kifo kye baalimu e bugwandhuba wa Gibea. 34Abasaadha omutwalo mulamba abaalondebwa n’obwegendereza mu Isiraeli yoonayoona, baalumba Gibea, era okulwana kwaba kwa maani inho. Aye Ababenjamini baali nga tibategeire ng’akabi kabali kumpi. 35Musengwa Katonda yaagha Isiraeli okughangula Ababenjamini ku lunaku olwo. Abaisiraeli baita abasaadha emitwalo ebiri n’enkumi itaanu na kikumi (25,100) ku balwani Ababenjamini. Abo baali abalwani beene abaziramu ntete. 36Agho Ababenjamini baamanha nga baghangwirwa.
Ensambo Abaisiraeli ye baaghangulamu
Ekikunsu eky’abalwani Abaisiraeli kyalumuka Ababenjamini, kuba baali beesiga ekikunsu eky’abalwani Baisiraeli banaibwe abaabwama nga beeteeze okumpi ni Gibea. 37Abalwani abo abaabwama baaziinhuuka embiro, baalumba Gibea, baita abaakirimu boonaboona. 38Ebikunsu ebyo byombi byali bitairegho akamanhiso, biti ekikunsu eky’abalwani abo abaabwama bwe kinaaniosa omwosi omungi oguli ng’oti kire mu kibuga, 39olwo ekikunsu eky’abalwani abaali bali kulumuka nga kikyuka okulwanisa Ababenjamini. Olwo Ababenjamini baali bamaze okukuba n’okwita Abaisiraeli ng’amakumi asatu, nga baakoba bati: “Tubaghangwire nga bwe twakola ku mikuzi egyasooka.” 40Aye akamanhiso kaaboneka, ekyo nga n’ekire eky’omwosi ekiri ng’oti mpango, ekyanioka okuva mu kibuga okutuuka ku igulu. Ababenjamini bwe baakyuka okulinga einhuma, baaja okubona ng’ekibuga kyonakyona kiri kuya. 41Agho Abaisiraeli be baali bali kubingirira baakyuka, olwo Ababenjamini baadhugumira nga bali kubona akabi kabatuuseeku! 42Baakyuka, balumukire mu ngira eja mu irungu, aye nga bazira ye baja! Agho baagemerwa ghagati gh’ekikunsu eky’Abaisiraeli abalwani abaali bali kulumuka n’ekikunsu eky’Abaisiraeli bale abaabwama, olwo baazikirizibwa.
43Abaisiraeli baazingiza Ababenjamini okubeezunguluza, baababingirira aghazira kugheera, okubatuusa mu kifo ekiri e buvandhuba wa Gibea, nga baja bwe babaita. 44Mu Babenjamini mwafaamu abalwani beene abaziramu ntete omutwalo mulala na kanaana (18,000). 45Abandi baakyuka, baalumuka nga baja mu irungu, nga boolekeire Olubaale lwa Rimmoni. Enkumi itaanu ku abo baitibwa ku nguudo. Abaisiraeli baayongera okubinga abasigairegho okutuuka e Gidoma, baabaitamu enkumi ibiri. 46Kale Ababenjamini boonaboona abaafa ku lunaku olwo, baaba emitwalo ebiri n’enkumi itaanu (25,000), boonaboona nga balwani beene abaziramu ntete.
47Aye abasaadha lukaaga n’abasobola okulumukira mu irungu, baatuuka ku Lubaale lwa Rimmoni, era baaba eyo emyezi ena. 48Abaisiraeli baakyuka kabiri, baalwanisa Ababenjamini abasigairegho, baabaita boonaboona, abasaadha, abakazi, abaana abato, n’ensolo. Era baayokya ebibuga byonabyona bye baayagaana.
