Hakim-hakim 20

¹Lalu majulah semua orang Israel; dari Dan sampai Bersyeba dan juga dari tanah Gilead berkumpullah umat itu secara serentak menghadap TUHAN di Mizpa.

¹Then all the people of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

²Maka berdirilah para pemuka dari seluruh bangsa itu, dari segala suku orang Israel, memimpin jemaah umat Allah yang jumlahnya empat ratus ribu orang berjalan kaki, yang bersenjatakan pedang.

²And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 men on foot that drew the sword.

³Kedengaranlah kepada bani Benyamin, bahwa orang Israel telah maju ke Mizpa. Berkatalah orang Israel: "Ceritakan bagaimana kejahatan itu terjadi."

³(Now the people of Benjamin heard that the people of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the people of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this evil happen?"

⁴Lalu orang Lewi, suami perempuan yang terbunuh itu, menjawab: "Aku sampai dengan gundikku di Gibea kepunyaan suku Benyamin untuk bermalam di sana.

⁴And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came to Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.

⁵Lalu warga-warga kota Gibea itu mendatangi aku dan mengepung rumah itu pada malam hari untuk menyerang aku. Mereka bermaksud membunuh aku, tetapi gundikku diperkosa mereka, sehingga mati.

⁵And the leaders of Gibeah rose against me and surrounded the house against me by night. They meant to kill me, and they violated my concubine, and she is dead.

⁶Maka kuambillah mayat gundikku, kupotong-potong dia dan kukirimkan ke seluruh daerah milik pusaka orang Israel, sebab orang-orang itu telah berbuat mesum dan berbuat noda di antara orang Israel.

⁶So I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, for they have committed abomination and outrage in Israel.

⁷Sekarang kamu sekalian, orang Israel, telah ada di sini. Berikanlah di sini pertimbanganmu dan nasihatmu."

⁷Behold, you people of Israel, all of you, give your advice and counsel here."

⁸Kemudian bangunlah seluruh bangsa itu dengan serentak, sambil berkata: "Seorangpun dari pada kita takkan pergi ke kemahnya, seorangpun dari pada kita takkan pulang ke rumahnya.

⁸And all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, and none of us will return to his house.

⁹Inilah yang akan kita lakukan kepada Gibea; memeranginya, dengan membuang undi!

⁹But now this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot,

¹⁰Kita akan memilih dari seluruh suku Israel sepuluh orang dari tiap-tiap seratus, seratus orang dari tiap-tiap seribu, seribu orang dari tiap-tiap sepuluh ribu, untuk mengambil bekal bagi laskar ini, supaya sesudah mereka datang, dilakukan kepada Gibea-Benyamin setimpal dengan segala perbuatan noda yang telah diperbuat mereka di antara orang Israel."

¹⁰and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions for the people, that when they come they may repay Gibeah of Benjamin, for all the outrage that they have committed in Israel."

¹¹Demikianlah orang Israel berkumpul melawan kota itu, semuanya bersekutu dengan serentak.

¹¹So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

¹²Kemudian suku-suku Israel mengirim orang kepada seluruh suku Benyamin dengan pesan: "Apa macam kejahatan yang terjadi di antara kamu itu!

¹²And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What evil is this that has taken place among you?

¹³Maka sekarang, serahkanlah orang-orang itu, yakni orang-orang dursila yang di Gibea itu, supaya kami menghukum mati mereka dan dengan demikian menghapuskan yang jahat itu dari antara orang Israel." Tetapi bani Benyamin tidak mau mendengarkan perkataan saudara-saudaranya, orang Israel itu.

¹³Now therefore give up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and purge evil from Israel." But the Benjaminites would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the people of Israel.

¹⁴Sebaliknya, bani Benyamin dari kota-kota lain berkumpul di Gibea untuk maju berperang melawan orang Israel.

¹⁴Then the people of Benjamin came together out of the cities to Gibeah to go out to battle against the people of Israel.

¹⁵Pada hari itu dihitunglah jumlah bani Benyamin dari kota-kota lain itu: dua puluh enam ribu orang yang bersenjatakan pedang, belum termasuk penduduk Gibea, yang terhitung tujuh ratus orang pilihan banyaknya.

¹⁵And the people of Benjamin mustered out of their cities on that day 26,000 men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who mustered 700 chosen men.

¹⁶Dari segala laskar ini ada tujuh ratus orang pilihan yang kidal, dan setiap orang dari mereka dapat mengumban dengan tidak pernah meleset sampai sehelai rambutpun.

¹⁶Among all these were 700 chosen men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

¹⁷Juga orang-orang Israel dihitung jumlahnya; dengan tidak termasuk suku Benyamin ada empat ratus ribu orang yang bersenjatakan pedang; semuanya itu prajurit.

¹⁷And the men of Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered 400,000 men who drew the sword; all these were men of war.

¹⁸Lalu orang Israel berangkat dan maju ke Betel. Di sana mereka bertanya kepada Allah: "Siapakah dari kami yang lebih dahulu maju berperang melawan bani Benyamin?" Jawab TUHAN: "Suku Yehudalah lebih dahulu."

¹⁸The people of Israel arose and went up to Bethel and inquired of God, "Who shall go up first for us to fight against the people of Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

¹⁹Lalu orang-orang Israel bangun pagi-pagi dan berkemah mengepung Gibea.

¹⁹Then the people of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.

²⁰Kemudian majulah orang-orang Israel berperang melawan suku Benyamin; orang-orang Israel mengatur barisan perangnya melawan mereka dekat Gibea.

²⁰And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin, and the men of Israel drew up the battle line against them at Gibeah.

²¹Juga bani Benyamin maju menyerang dari Gibea dan menggugurkan ke bumi dua puluh dua ribu orang dari antara orang Israel pada hari itu.

²¹The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and destroyed on that day 22,000 men of the Israelites.

²²Tetapi laskar orang Israel mengumpulkan segenap kekuatannya, lalu mengatur pula barisan perangnya di tempat mereka mengatur barisannya semula.

²²But the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and again formed the battle line in the same place where they had formed it on the first day.

²³Kemudian pergilah orang-orang Israel, lalu menangis di hadapan TUHAN sampai petang, sesudah itu mereka bertanya kepada TUHAN: "Akan pergi pulakah kami berperang melawan bani Benyamin, saudara kami itu?" Jawab TUHAN: "Majulah melawan mereka."

²³And the people of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until the evening. And they inquired of the LORD, "Shall we again draw near to fight against our brothers, the people of Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Go up against them."

²⁴Tetapi ketika orang-orang Israel pada hari kedua sampai di dekat bani Benyamin,

²⁴So the people of Israel came near against the people of Benjamin the second day.

²⁵maka pada hari kedua itu majulah suku Benyamin dari Gibea menyerbu mereka, dan digugurkannya pula ke bumi delapan belas ribu orang di antara orang-orang Israel; semuanya orang-orang yang bersenjatakan pedang.

²⁵And Benjamin went against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed 18,000 men of the people of Israel. All these were men who drew the sword.

²⁶Kemudian pergilah semua orang Israel, yakni seluruh bangsa itu, lalu sampai di Betel; di sana mereka tinggal menangis di hadapan TUHAN, berpuasa sampai senja pada hari itu dan mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan di hadapan TUHAN.

²⁶Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

²⁷Dan orang-orang Israel bertanya kepada TUHAN--pada waktu itu ada di sana tabut perjanjian Allah,

²⁷And the people of Israel inquired of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

²⁸dan Pinehas bin Eleazar bin Harun menjadi imam Allah pada waktu itu--kata mereka: "Haruskah kami maju sekali lagi untuk berperang melawan bani Benyamin, saudara kami itu, atau haruskah kami hentikan itu?" Jawab TUHAN: "Majulah, sebab besok Aku akan menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tanganmu."

²⁸and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, "Shall we go out once more to battle against our brothers, the people of Benjamin, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up, for tomorrow I will give them into your hand."

²⁹Lalu orang Israel menempatkan penghadang-penghadang sekeliling Gibea.

²⁹So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

³⁰Pada hari ketiga majulah orang-orang Israel melawan bani Benyamin dan mengatur barisannya melawan Gibea seperti yang sudah-sudah.

³⁰And the people of Israel went up against the people of Benjamin on the third day and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

³¹Maka majulah bani Benyamin menyerbu laskar itu; mereka terpancing dari kota, dan seperti yang sudah-sudah, mereka mulai menyerang laskar itu pada kedua jalan raya--yang satu menuju ke Betel, dan yang lain ke Gibea melalui padang--sehingga terbunuh beberapa orang, kira-kira tiga puluh orang di antara orang Israel.

³¹And the people of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city. And as at other times they began to strike and kill some of the people in the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country, about thirty men of Israel.

³²Maka kata bani Benyamin: "Orang-orang itu telah terpukul kalah oleh kita seperti semula." Tetapi orang-orang Israel telah bermupakat lebih dahulu: "Marilah kita lari dan memancing mereka dari kota ke jalan-jalan raya."

³²And the people of Benjamin said, "They are routed before us, as at the first." But the people of Israel said, "Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways."

³³Jadi orang Israel bangun dari tempatnya dan mengatur barisannya di Baal-Tamar, sedang orang Israel yang menghadang itu tiba-tiba keluar dari tempatnya, yakni tempat terbuka dekat Geba,

³³And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar, and the men of Israel who were in ambush rushed out of their place from Maareh-geba.

³⁴dan sampai di depan Gibea, sebanyak sepuluh ribu orang pilihan dari seluruh Israel. Pertempuran itu dahsyat, tetapi bani Benyamin tidak tahu bahwa malapetaka datang menimpa mereka.

³⁴And there came against Gibeah 10,000 chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was hard, but the Benjaminites did not know that disaster was close upon them.

³⁵TUHAN membuat suku Benyamin terpukul kalah oleh orang Israel, dan pada hari itu orang-orang Israel memusnahkan dari antara suku Benyamin dua puluh lima ribu seratus orang, semuanya orang-orang yang bersenjatakan pedang.

³⁵And the LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel, and the people of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day. All these were men who drew the sword.

³⁶Bani Benyamin melihat, bahwa mereka telah terpukul kalah. Sementara orang-orang Israel agak mundur di depan suku Benyamin--sebab mereka mempercayai penghadang-penghadang yang ditempatkan mereka untuk menyerang Gibea--

³⁶So the people of Benjamin saw that they were defeated.The men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

³⁷maka segeralah penghadang-penghadang itu menyerbu Gibea. Mereka bergerak maju dan memukul seluruh kota itu dengan mata pedang.

³⁷Then the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush moved out and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

³⁸Tetapi orang-orang Israel telah bermupakat dengan penghadang-penghadang itu untuk menaikkan gumpalan asap tebal dari kota itu.

³⁸Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in the main ambush was that when they made a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city

³⁹Ketika orang-orang Israel mundur dalam pertempuran itu, maka suku Benyamin mulai menyerang orang Israel, sehingga terbunuh kira-kira tiga puluh orang, karena pikir mereka: "Tentulah orang-orang itu terpukul kalah sama sekali oleh kita seperti dalam pertempuran yang dahulu."

³⁹the men of Israel should turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel. They said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

⁴⁰Tetapi pada waktu itu mulailah gumpalan asap naik dari kota itu seperti tiang asap. Suku Benyamin menoleh ke belakang dan tampaklah kota itu seluruhnya terbakar, apinya naik ke langit.

⁴⁰But when the signal began to rise out of the city in a column of smoke, the Benjaminites looked behind them, and behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.

⁴¹Lagipula orang-orang Israel maju lagi. Maka gemetarlah orang-orang Benyamin itu, sebab mereka melihat, bahwa malapetaka datang menimpa mereka.

⁴¹Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that disaster was close upon them.

⁴²Jadi larilah mereka dari depan orang-orang Israel itu, ke arah padang gurun, tetapi pertempuran itu tidak dapat dihindari mereka, lalu orang-orang dari kota-kota menghabisi mereka di tengah-tengahnya.

⁴²Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them. And those who came out of the cities were destroying them in their midst.

⁴³Mereka mengepung suku Benyamin itu, mengejarnya dengan tak henti-hentinya dan melandanya sampai di depan Gibea, di sebelah timur.

⁴³Surrounding the Benjaminites, they pursued them and trod them down from Nohah as far as opposite Gibeah on the east.

⁴⁴Dari bani Benyamin ada tewas delapan belas ribu orang, semuanya orang-orang gagah perkasa.

⁴⁴Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell, all of them men of valor.

⁴⁵Yang lain berpaling lari ke padang gurun, ke bukit batu Rimon. Tetapi di jalan-jalan raya masih diadakan penyabitan susulan di antara mereka: lima ribu orang; mereka diburu sampai ke Gideom dan dipukul mati dua ribu orang dari mereka.

⁴⁵And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. Five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways. And they were pursued hard to Gidom, and 2,000 men of them were struck down.

⁴⁶Maka yang tewas dari suku Benyamin pada hari itu seluruhnya berjumlah dua puluh lima ribu orang yang bersenjatakan pedang, semuanya orang-orang gagah perkasa.

⁴⁶So all who fell that day of Benjamin were 25,000 men who drew the sword, all of them men of valor.

⁴⁷Tetapi enam ratus orang berpaling lari ke padang gurun, ke bukit batu Rimon, dan tinggal empat bulan lamanya di bukit batu itu.

⁴⁷But 600 men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon and remained at the rock of Rimmon four months.

⁴⁸Tetapi orang-orang Israel kembali kepada bani Benyamin dan memukul mereka dengan mata pedang, baik manusia baik hewan dan segala sesuatu yang terdapat di sana. Juga segala kota yang terdapat di sana mereka musnahkan dengan api.

⁴⁸And the men of Israel turned back against the people of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, the city, men and beasts and all that they found. And all the towns that they found they set on fire.
