Abahluleli 21

¹Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bafunga eMispa, bathi: “Makungabikho kithina oyakunikela ngendodakazi yakhe kuBenjamini, ibe ngumkakho.”

²Abantu base befika endlini kaNkulunkulu, bahlala khona kwaze kwahlwa phambi kukaNkulunkulu; baphakamisa izwi labo, bakhala kakhulu;

³Wathi: “Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kwenzekeni kwa-Israyeli ukuthi namuhla kungabikho isizwe esisodwa kwa-Israyeli na?

⁴Kwathi ngangomuso abantu bavuka ekuseni, bakha khona i-altare, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokubonga.

⁵Base bethi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Ngubani phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli ongakhuphukelanga eNkosini kanye nenhlangano na?” Ngokuba benza isifungo esikhulu ngaye ongakhuphukelanga kuJehova eMispa, wathi: “Umelwe ukubulawa nokubulawa.”

⁶Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphenduka ngomfowabo uBenjamini, bathi: “Namuhla esinye isizwe sakwa-Israyeli sinqunyiwe.”

⁷Siyakwenza kanjani ngabafazi kwabaseleyo, thina safunga uJehova ukuthi asiyikuwanika amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkakho?

⁸Basebesithi: Ngubani ezizweni zakoIsrayeli ongakhuphukelanga eNkosini eMispa? bheka, kwakungekho muntu ekamu laseJabeshi kwaGileyadi emva kokuhlangana.

⁹Abantu babalwa, bheka, kwakungekho noyedwa kwabakhileyo eJabeshi kwaGileyadi.

¹⁰Inhlangano yathuma khona amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili kumaqhawe amakhulu, yabayala, yathi: “Hambani nibulale abakhileyo eJabeshi kwaGileyadi ngosiko lwenkemba kanye nabesifazane nabantwana.

¹¹Nansi into eniyakuyenza: niqalekise bonke abesilisa nabo bonke abesifazane abake balala nendoda;

¹²Bafumana kwabakhileyo eJabeshi kwaGileyadi izintombi ezingamakhulu amane, okwakungaziwa muntu ngokulala nendoda; babayisa ekamu eShilo esezweni laseKhanani.

¹³Ibandla lonke lathuma ukukhuluma nabantwana bakwaBenjamini ababesedwaleni laseRimoni, ukuba bababizele ukuthula.

¹⁴UBenjamini wabuya ngaleso sikhathi; babanika abafazi ababebakhulise kubafazi baseJabeshi kwaGileyadi, kepha ababanelanga.

¹⁵Abantu basebezisola ngoBenjamini, ngoba uJehova wayeqhamuke ezizweni zakoIsrayeli.

¹⁶Abadala benhlangano bathi: “Siyakwenze njani ngabesifazane kwabaseleyo, kuyilapho abesifazane bakwaBenjamini bebhujiswa?

¹⁷Bathi: “Kumelwe kube nefa lababaleki bakwaBenjamini, ukuze kungachithwa isizwe kwa-Israyeli.”

¹⁸Kodwa kasiyikubanika abafazi bamadodakazi ethu, ngoba abantwana bakoIsrayeli bafunga besithi: Uqalekisiwe onika uBhenjamini umfazi.

¹⁹Base bethi: “Bheka, kukhona umkhosi weNkosi iminyaka ngeminyaka eShilo endaweni esenyakatho yeBethele, ngasempumalanga komgwaqo okhuphuka usuka eBethele uya eShekemi, naseningizimu yeLebona.”

²⁰Ngalokho bayaleza abantwana bakwaBenjamini, bathi: “Lalani nibheke ezivini;

²¹Bhekani, bhekani, lapho amadodakazi aseShilo ephuma ukugida, niphume ezivinini, nizithabathele, kube yilowo nalowo umkakhe emadodakazini aseShilo, niye ezweni lakwaBenjamini.

²²Uma oyise noma abafowabo beza kithi bezokhononda, siyakuthi kubo: ‘Yibani umusa ngenxa yethu, ngokuba asigcinanga, kube yilowo nalowo umkakhe empini, ngokuba anibanikanga bona ngalesi sikhathi; ukuthi uzakuba lecala.

²³Abantwana bakwaBenjamini benza kanjalo, bazithathela abafazi ngokwenani labo kubadansi ababebathumbile; bahamba babuyela efeni labo, bakha imizi, bahlala kuyo.

²⁴Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka lapho ngaleso sikhathi, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya esizweni sakubo nasemndenini wakhe, baphuma lapho, kwaba yilowo nalowo waya efeni lakhe.

²⁵Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa-Israyeli; yilowo nalowo wenza okulungile emehlweni akhe.
