3 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguvwa kuti anthulumi a ku Isirayeli aluta ku Mizipa.
Sonu anthulumi a ku Isirayeli angukamba kuti: “Atikambiyi, kumbi vingwenda wuli kuti chinthu chakofya ichi chichitiki?”+
4 Munthulumi yo wenga Mlevi,+ mulumu wa munthukazi yo wangubayika wangumuka kuti: “Ndinguluta ku Gibeya+ wa fuku laku Benjamini ndi mbilika* yangu kuti tikagoneku.
5 Ndipu ŵanthu a ku* Gibeya angundiyukiya kweniso anguzunguliya nyumba ndi usiku. Yiwu akhumbanga kundibaya, mumalu mwaki angukolere mbilika yangu ndipu yingufwa.+

8 Sonu ŵanthu wosi angusoka mwakukoliyana* ndipu angukamba kuti: “Palivi yo wakengi kuhema laki pamwenga kuwere kunyumba yaki.
9 Tawuni ya Gibeya tiyichitiyengi ivi: Tikengi kuchichita nayu nkhondu mwakuchita mayeri.+
10 Titongi ŵanthu 10 pa ŵanthu 100 kutuliya mu mafuku ngosi nga Ayisirayeli, titongi so ŵanthu 100 pa ŵanthu 1,000, kweniso ŵanthu 1,000 pa ŵanthu 10,000 kuti akatole asilikali vakurya, ndi chilatu chakuti asilikali akachiti nkhondu ndi Gibeya wa ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini, chifukwa cha chinthu chakulengesa cho achita mu Isirayeli.”
11 Mwaviyo, anthulumi wosi a ku Isirayeli, anguwungana mwakukoliyana* kuti ayukiyi tawuni yeniyi ndipu ŵenga gulu limoza.
12 Pavuli paki, mafuku nga Ayisirayeli ngangutuma ŵanthu kuti aluti kwa alongozgi wosi a fuku laku Benjamini, ndipu angukamba kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli pakati pinu pachitika chinthu chakofya ichi?
13 Sonu tipaskeni anthulumi abwekabweka a ku Gibeya+ kuti tiŵabayi ndi kutuzgamu chinthu chiheni ichi mu Isirayeli.”+ Kweni ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini angukana kuvwiya abali ŵawu Ayisirayeli.
14 Sonu ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguwungana ku Gibeya kutuliya mumatawuni, kuti akachiti nkhondu ndi anthulumi a ku Isirayeli.
15 Pa zuŵa lenili, ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguwunganisa anthulumi 26,000 wo ŵenga ndi malipanga kutuliya mumatawuni ngawu. Penga so anthulumi 700 a ku Gibeya wo anguchita kusankhika.
16 Pa gulu la asilikali ŵenaŵa, penga ŵanthu 700 wo anguchita kusankhika wo agwiriskiyanga ntchitu janja lamazge. Weyosi pa ŵanthu yaŵa wambwitanga cha asani waponya mwa mwakugwiriskiya ntchitu chakuponye, chinanga pangaŵa pa kanthu kamana nge sisi.
17 Anthulumi a ku Isirayeli, kupatuwaku ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini, anguwunganisa anthulumi 400,000 wo ŵenga ndi malipanga+ ndipu weyosi wenga msilikali wakuziŵa nkhondu.
18 Yiwu angusoka ndi kuluta ku Beteli kuti akafumbi kwaku Chiuta.+ Ŵanthu a ku Isirayeli angufumba kuti: “Ndiyani pakati pidu yo watilongozgengi pakuchichita nkhondu ndi ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini?” Yehova wangumuka kuti: “Yuda ndiyu wakulongozgeni.”
19 Pavuli paki, Ayisirayeli angusoka ndi mlenji ndipu anguchijintha msasa kuti achiti nkhondu ndi Gibeya.
20 Sonu anthulumi a ku Isirayeli anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini. Yiwu angundanda mumuzeri wakunozgeke nkhondu ku Gibeya kuti achiti nawu nkhondu.
21 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini angutuwa mutawuni ya Gibeya ndipu angubaya Ayisirayeli 22,000 pa zuŵa lenili.
22 Kweni asilikali ŵa Ayisirayeli angulongo mbwenu chiganga ndipu angundanda so mumzeri wakunozgeke nkhondu pamalu ngo anguma pa zuŵa lakwamba.
23 Sonu Ayisirayeli anguluta ndi kuchiliriya Yehova mpaka mazulu ndipu angufumba Yehova kuti: “Kumbi tiluti so kuchichita nkhondu ndi abali ŵidu, ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini?”+ Yehova wanguŵamuka kuti: “Lutani kachiteni nawu nkhondu.”
24 Sonu Ayisirayeli angundere kufupi ndi ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini pa zuŵa lachiŵi.
25 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini nawu angutuwa mutawuni ya Gibeya kuti akakumani nawu pa zuŵa lachiŵi, ndipu angubaya Ayisirayeli anyaki 18,000.+ Ŵanthu wosi wo angubayika ŵenga ndi malipanga.
26 Ivi vati vachitika, anthulumi wosi a ku Isirayeli anguluta ku Beteli. Yiwu anguliya ndipu anguja pasi kweniko pa masu paku Yehova,+ angufunga kurya+ pa zuŵa lenili mpaka mazulu kweniso angupereka sembi zakupiriza+ ndi sembi za chimangu+ kwaku Yehova.
27 Pavuli paki, anthulumi a ku Isirayeli angufumba Yehova,+ chifukwa mu mazuŵa yanga bokosi la phanganu laku Chiuta wauneneska lenga kwenuku.
28 Mu mazuŵa ngeningo, Finihasi+ mwana waku Eliyazara, mwana waku Aroni, wateŵetiyanga* panthazi pa bokosi lenili. Ayisirayeli angufumba kuti: “Kumbi tiluti so kuchichita nkhondu ndi abali ŵidu, ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini, pamwenga tileki?”+ Yehova wangumuka kuti: “Lutani, chifukwa mawa ndiŵaperekengi mu manja mwinu.”
29 Sonu Ayisirayeli anguŵika ŵanthu kuti abisami+ kuzunguliya tawuni yosi ya Gibeya.
30 Ayisirayeli anguluta kuchichita nkhondu ndi ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini pa zuŵa lachitatu, ndipu angundanda kuti ayukiyi Gibeya nge mo anguchitiya maulendu ngakwamba.+
31 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini ŵati atuwa kuti akakumani ndi asilikali, Ayisirayeli anguŵaguziya kutali ndi tawuni.+ Sonu nge mo anguchitiya maulendu ngakwamba, yiwu angwamba kuyukiya ndi kubaya anyaki mwa asilikali ŵa Ayisirayeli mumisewu yikuluyikulu. Umoza mwa misewu yeniyi uluta ku Beteli ndipu unyaki uluta ku Gibeya. Yiwu angubaya Ayisirayeli pafufupi 30 mumisewu yeniyi.+
32 Sonu ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini angukamba kuti: “Titiŵathereska nge mo tinguchitiya pakwamba.”+ Kweni Ayisirayeli angukamba kuti: “Tithaŵengi ndi kuŵaguziya kutali ndi tawuni ku misewu yikuluyikulu.”
33 Anthulumi wosi a ku Isirayeli angusoka mumalu ngawu ndi kundanda ku Bala-tamara, ndipu Ayisirayeli wo angubisama angusotopoka liŵiliŵi mumalu ngo angubisama kufupi ndi Gibeya.
34 Mwaviyo, anthulumi 10,000 akuchita kusankhika kutuliya mwa Ayisirayeli anguza kumasu kwa Gibeya ndipu nkhondu yingununkha. Kweni ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguziŵa cha kuti soka le pafupi.
35 Yehova wanguthereska ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini+ pa masu pa Ayisirayeli. Pa zuŵa lenili, Ayisirayeli angubaya anthulumi 25,100 a fuku laku Benjamini. Wosi wo angubayika ŵenga ndi malipanga.+
36 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini aŵanaŵananga kuti Ayisirayeli athereskekengi pa nyengu yo yiwu aŵathaŵanga,+ kweni athaŵanga chifukwa chakuti athembanga ŵanthu wo angubisama kufupi ndi Gibeya.+
37 Ŵanthu wo angubisama anguchita vinthu mwaliŵi ndipu anguyukiya Gibeya. Pavuli paki, yiwu anguparanyika ndi kubwanganduwa tawuni yosi ndi lipanga.
38 Anthulumi a ku Isirayeli angupangana kuti ŵanthu wo angubisama kuti ayukiyi tawuni, azitolorosi josi kutuwa mutawuni yeniyi kuti lizije chisimikizu.
39 Ayisirayeli ŵati ang’anamuka nkhondu ye mukati, ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini angwamba kuŵayukiya ndi kubaya ŵanthu pafufupi 30,+ ndipu angukamba kuti: “Viwoneke limu kuti athereskekengi so pa masu pidu, nge mo venge pa nkhondu yakwamba.”+
40 Kweni chijosi cho chenga chisimikizu, chingwamba kutoloroka kutuwa mutawuni. Sonu ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini ŵati ang’anamuka, anguwona josi la tawuni yosi lichikwere kuchanya.
41 Sonu Ayisirayeli angung’anamuka, ndipu ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini angumala nthazi chifukwa anguwona kuti soka laŵawiya.
42 Sonu yiwu angwamba kuthaŵa Ayisirayeli ndi kuselere kuchipululu kweni nkhondu yinguŵalondo. Ndipu ŵanthu wo atuwanga mumatawuni ngakuzunguliya, nawu angwamba kubaya ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini.
43 Yiwu anguzunguliya ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini, ndipu anguŵatchimbiza kwambula kulekeza. Anguŵakandiya pasi kumasu kwa Gibeya, chakuvuma.*
44 Pakumaliya paki, ŵanthu 18,000 a fuku laku Benjamini angubayika, ndipu wosi ŵenga asilikali anthazi.+
45 Ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini anguthaŵiya kuchipululu kujalawi la Rimoni,+ ndipu Ayisirayeli angubayapu* ŵanthu 5,000 pa misewu yikuluyikulu kweniso angulutirizga kuŵatchimbiza mpaka ku Gidomu. Mwaviyo, angubayapu so ŵanthu anyaki 2,000.
46 Ŵanthu wosi a fuku laku Benjamini wo angubayika pa zuŵa lenili, angukwana 25,000.+ Yiwu ŵenga ndi malipanga kweniso ŵenga asilikali anthazi.
47 Kweni ŵanthu 600 anguthaŵiya kuchipululu kujalawi la Rimoni, ndipu anguja kujalawi la Rimoni kwa myezi yinayi.
48 Ayisirayeli anguwere ku ŵanthu a fuku laku Benjamini ndipu angubaya ndi lipanga chechosi cho chingujaku mutawuni, kwamba ŵanthu mpaka viŵetu. Yiwu awotchanga so matawuni ngosi ngo angasaniyanga munthowa.
