1Abaisiraeli bwe baali e Mizipa, baalayira bati: “Ghazira muntu waire omulala mu ife, aligha wa mu kika kya Benjamini mughala we okumubayiza.” 2Agho Abaisiraeli baaja e Betheli, baatyama eyo mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda okutuusa eigulo. Baawowoola nga balira amaziga kamaala, 3nga bakoba bati: “Wo Musengwa Katonda, Katonda wa Isiraeli, kiviire ku ki ekika kya Benjamini okutuuka okusaanagho?”
4Ku lunaku olwairaku ku nkyo, abantu baazimba alutaari, baaghaayo ebigheebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebigheebwayo olw’okutabagana. 5Baabuuza bati: “Ni baani ku b’omu bika bya Isiraeli, abataaja mu lwekobaano ng’abantu beesoloiza mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda e Mizipa?” Baabuuza ekyo, kuba baali nga beerayiriire inho, ku muntu yeenayeena aloba okuniinaniina okuja e Mizipa, nga bakoba bati: “Wa kwitibwa.” 6Abaisiraeli baalumirwa baganda baibwe Ababenjamini, baakoba bati: “Olwaleero Isiraeli efiiriirwa ekindi ku bika byayo! 7Tunaakola tutya okufunira abasaadha Ababenjamini abasigairegho abakazi, ate nga twalayira ye Musengwa Katonda obutabagha baghala baife?”
8Agho baabuuza bati: “Ni baani mu b’omu bika bya Isiraeli abataaja mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda e Mizipa?” Baaja okukizuula ng’e Yabeshi eky’omu Gileadi tiyavaayo muntu waire omulala, eyaidha okubaagho ng’abantu beesoloiza; 9kuba abantu bwe baabalibwa tighaaligho mutyamye waire omulala ku b’e Yabeshi eyabonekaku. 10Kale Abaisiraeli abaali beesoloiza, baatumayo abasaadha abalwani beene abasinga kubulamu ntete omutwalo mulala n’enkumi ibiri (12,000), baabalagira bati: “Muje mwite ab’e Yabeshi eky’omu Gileadi boonaboona, obutalekaayo mukazi, waire omwana omuto. 11Kino kye mwidha okukola: muzikiririze irala buli muntu ayetebwa musaadha, na buli mukazi eyabaaku n’omusaadha.”
12Mu batyamye b’omu Yabeshi, baayagaanamu abaghala abeegha ebikumi bina. Baabaleeta mu kifo ghe baasimba weema dhaibwe e Shilo, ekiri mu nsi Kanaani.
13Agho abantu boonaboona abaali beesoloiza, baasindika obukwenda obw’okukomya olutalo, y’Ababenjamini abaali ku Lubaale olw’e Rimmoni. 14Kale Ababenjamini n’okwira, bale ni babagha abakazi ab’e Yabeshi abataitibwa. Aye baaloba kubamala boonaboona.
15Abantu baalumirwa Ababenjamini, kuba Musengwa Katonda yali atoiregho okukolaganira aghalala mu bika bya Isiraeli. 16Agho abakulembeze b’abantu abaali beesoloiza, baakoba bati: “Abakazi baazikirizibwa, baawa mu kika kya Benjamini. Mpegaano tunaakola tutya okufunira abasaadha Ababenjamini abo abasigairegho abakazi?” 17Tugwaniire okubaaku kye tukolagho okukuuma Ababenjamini abaasigalagho, ekika kirobe kusasibwagho mu Isiraeli. 18Aye titusobola kubagha ku baghala baife kubafumbirwa, kuba twamala okulayira tuti, “Oyo yeenayeena aligha Omubenjamini mughala we okumufumbirwa, akolimirwe.”
19Agho baakoba bati: “Ghaligho ekibinuko kya Musengwa Katonda ekya buli mwaka e Shilo.” Shilo ekyo kiri ku luuyi olw’omukono omugooda olw’e buvandhuba wa Betheli, ku luuyi olw’e buvandhuba w’engira eva e Betheli okuja e Shekemu, era ku luuyi olw’omukono omusaadha olw’e buvandhuba wa Lebanoni. 20Agho baakoba Ababenjamini bati: “Muje mubwame mu masamba g’emizabbibu mweteege omwo. 21Abaghala b’e Shilo bwe banaafuluma okukina ku kibinuko, olwo mwidha kuva mu masamba g’emizabbibu, kiisi muntu ku imwe agememu mulala bya ntaka amufuule mukazi we, muje nabo mu kiketezo kya Benjamini. 22Baiseibwe oba baanhinaibwe bwe baliidha ye muli okubavunaana, mulibakoba muti, ‘Tubeeghembye mubatulekere, kuba titwababanhagaaku bunhage mu lutalo okubafuula bakazi baife. Ate, nga bwe mutaabatugha bughe, muziraku musango gubavunaanibwa lwa kumenha kirayiro kye mwalayira.’ ”
23Agho Ababenjamini baakola batyo, baanhaga abandi ku baghala abakini, baabafuula bakazi baibwe, baabatwala. Bairayo mu kiketezo kyaibwe, bairamu okuzimba ebibuga, baaba omwo. 24Agho Abaisiraeli mu kiseera ekyo baagolola, buli muntu yaira mu bantu be, ni mu kibandha kye.
25Mu biseera ebyo, tighaaligho kyabazinga mu Isiraeli. Buli muntu yakolanga nga bw’abona.21:25: Balam 17:6
