21
Onwangʼ mon ne jo-Benjamin
1 Jo-Israel nosekwongʼore e piny Mizpa niya, “Onge kata achiel kuomwa mabiro chiwo nyare mondo okendi gi ja-Benjamin.”
2 Ji nodhi Bethel, kama ne gibetie e nyim Nyasaye nyaka odhiambo, ka gitingʼo dwondgi kendo ka giywak malit. 3 Ne giywak niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, angʼo momiyo ma osetimore ne Israel? Angʼo ma omiyo dhoot achiel nyalo lal e Israel kawuono?”
4 Kinyne gokinyi ji nogero kendo mar misango ma gichiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar lalruok.
5 Eka jo-Israel nopenjo niya, “En dhoot mane e kind dhout Israel duto mapok ochokore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Nimar ne gisekwongʼore ni dhoot moro amora ma ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka negi.
6 Koro jo-Israel ne nigi kuyo nikech owetegi, ma jo-Benjamin. Negiwacho niya, “Kawuononi dhood Israel achiel olal. 7 Ere kaka wanyalo miyo jogo modongʼ mon, nimar wasekwongʼore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni ok wanamigi nyiwa mondo gikendi?” 8 Eka negipenjo niya, “En dhoot Israel mane mane ok ochokore e piny Mizpa e nyim Jehova Nyasaye?” Negifwenyo ni onge ngʼama noa Jabesh Gilead manobiro mochokore e chokruokno. 9 Nimar kane gikwano ji, negiyudo ni onge ngʼama noa jo-Jabesh Gilead.
10 Eka chokruokno nomiyo jolweny alufu apar gariyo chik mondo gidhi Jabesh Gilead kendo gineg joma odak kanyo machwo, kaachiel gi mon gi nyithindo. 11 Negiwacho niya, “Ma e gima onego utim. Neg dichwo moro amora to gi nyako moro amora mosengʼeyo dichwo.” 12 Kuom joma nodak Jabesh Gilead negiyudo nyiri mia angʼwen mapok ongʼeyo chwo kendo negiterogi e kambi mar Shilo man Kanaan.
13 Eka oganda mane ochokore duto nooro chiwo mar kwe ne jo-Benjamin e lwanda mar Rimon. 14 Omiyo jo-Benjamin noduogo e sechego kendo nomigi mond jo-Jabesh Gilead mane odongʼ. To mon-go ne ok nyal romogi duto.
15 Ji nokuyo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo dhood Benjamin olal e kind dhout Israel. 16 Kendo jodong ogandano nowacho niya, “Ka oseneg mond Benjamin, ere kaka wabiro miyo jogi mane otony mon?” 17 Negiwacho niya, “Jo-Benjamin mane otony nyaka bed gi nyithindo mabiro chamo mwandugi mondo omi dhood Israel kik tieki. 18 Ok wanyal miyogi nyiwa obed mondegi, nimar wan jo-Israel wasekwongʼore kama: ‘Okwongʼ ngʼatno mochiwo nyare mondo okend gi ja-Benjamin.’ 19 To neuru, nitiere nyasi mar higa ka higa mar Jehova Nyasaye e Shilo, man yo nyandwat mar Bethel, kod yo wuok chiengʼ mar yo madhi Shekem, kochomo yo milambo mar Lebona.”
20 Omiyo negimiyo jo-Benjamin chik, kagiwacho niya, “Dhiuru kendo upondi e puothe mzabibu 21 kendo uritane. Ka nyiri moa Shilo owuok oko mondo gibi e nyasi, to ringuru uwuogi mapiyo kua e puothe mzabibu mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato oyud dhako kuom nyirigo mondo udog-go e piny jo-Benjamin. 22 Ka wuonegi kata owetegi obiro donjo irwa, to wabiro wachonegi ni, ‘Timnwa ngʼwono kuom konyogi, nikech ne ok wayudonegi mon e kinde mag lweny, kendo un uonge gi wach, nikech un ne ok umiyogi nyiu.’ ”
23 Omiyo mano e gima ne jo-Benjamin notimo. Ka nyirigo ne miel, ngʼato ka ngʼato nomako nyako achiel kuom nyirigo moloko chiege modhigo dala. Bangʼe negidwogo e lopgi mi gigero mier kanyo midakie.
24 E sechego jo-Israel nowuok kanyo ma gidok e miechgi kendo e dhoutgi ka ngʼato ka ngʼato dok e lope owuon.
25 E kindeno Israel ne onge ruoth; kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne timo kaka ohero.
