20 ¹Nao andũ a Isiraeli othe makiumĩra, kĩũngano gĩgĩcookanĩrĩra ta mũndũ ũmwe, kuuma Dani nginya Birisheba, hamwe na bũrũri wa Gileadi, mbere ya Ithe witũ kũu Mizipa. ²Nao atongoria a andũ othe, mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli, makĩrũgama handũ hao thĩinĩ wa kĩũngano kĩa andũ a Ithe witũ—andũ 400,000 a kũgũrũ marĩ na hiũ cia njora. ³Nao andũ a Benjamini makĩigua atĩ andũ a Isiraeli nĩmambatĩte Mizipa. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiuga atĩrĩ, “Twĩrei, ũũru ũyũ wekĩkire atĩa?”

⁴Nake Mũlawi ũcio, mũthuuri wa mũtumia ũcio wooragirwo, agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ na thuriya yakwa twookire Gibea kũu Benjamini tũraare. ⁵Nao arũme a Gibea magĩũka kũrĩ niĩ, makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ũtukũ, mendaga kũnjũraga. Magĩkĩrĩrĩria thuriya yakwa, nake agĩkua. ⁶Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya thuriya yakwa, ngĩmĩtinia tũcunjĩ, ngĩtũma kũndũ guothe gwa igai rĩa Isiraeli, tondũ nĩmekire ũndũ wa ũũru na thoni thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli. ⁷Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli inyuothe—heanai itua rĩanyu na kĩrĩra gũkũ o rĩu.”

⁸Nao andũ othe magĩũkĩra ta mũndũ ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũgũthiĩ hema-inĩ yake; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũgũcooka nyũmba yake. ⁹Rĩu ũũ nĩguo tũgwĩka Gibea: tũkũmĩtharĩkĩra na ũndũ wa gũcuukĩra mĩtĩ. ¹⁰Kuuma mũhĩrĩga o wothe wa Isiraeli nĩtũkũoya andũ ikũmi harĩ 100, igana harĩ 1,000, na 1,000 harĩ 10,000, nĩguo marutĩre mbũtũ cia ita iria igũthiĩ Gibea ya Benjamini irio, nĩguo irĩhĩrie ũũru wothe ũrĩa wĩkire thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.” ¹¹Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arũme othe a Isiraeli makĩũngana kũhĩtũkĩra itũũra rĩu inene, manyiitanĩte ta mũndũ ũmwe. ¹²Nayo mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli ĩgĩtũma andũ kũndũ guothe kwa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũũru ũrĩkũ ũyũ wĩkĩkire gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu? ¹³Rĩu neanai arũme acio aaganu arĩa marĩ Gibea, nĩguo tũmoorage na tweherie ũũru kuuma Isiraeli.” No andũ a Benjamini matiigana gũthikĩrĩria mũgambo wa ariũ a ithe wao, nĩo andũ a Isiraeli.

¹⁴Handũ ha ũguo andũ a Benjamini makĩũngana kuuma matũũra-inĩ mao magĩthiĩ Gibea, nĩguo mathiĩ makarũe na andũ a Isiraeli. ¹⁵Mũthenya ũcio Benjamini agĩtara andũ 26,000 a hiũ cia njora kuuma matũũra-inĩ mao, hamwe na andũ 700 athuure kuuma kũrĩ atũũri a Gibea. ¹⁶Thĩinĩ wa mbũtũ icio ciothe nĩ kwarĩ na andũ 700 athuure a kũhũthĩra guoko kwa ũmotho, o mũndũ ahota gũikia ihiga na kĩgũtha rĩĩri na ndangĩhĩtia. ¹⁷Nao arũme a Isiraeli, tiga a Benjamini, magĩtara andũ 400,000 a hiũ cia njora, o mũndũ arĩ njamba ya ita.

¹⁸Nao andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara makĩambata Betheli, magĩtuĩria kũrĩ Ithe witũ, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nũũ witũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩkwambata mbere arũe na andũ a Benjamini?” Nake Ithe witũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Juda nĩwe ũkwambata mbere.”

¹⁹Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩũkĩra rũũciinĩ makĩamba hema hakuhĩ na Gibea. ²⁰Nao arũme a Isiraeli makiumagara makarũe na Benjamini, makĩĩhaarĩria mĩhari yao ya mbaara ya kũhĩtũkĩra kũu Gibea. ²¹Nao andũ a Benjamini makiuma Gibea, makĩũraga andũ a Isiraeli 22,000 werũ-inĩ mũthenya ũcio. ²²No mbũtũ ya ita ya Isiraeli ĩkĩĩyũmĩrĩria, ĩkĩĩhaarĩria rĩngĩ mũhari wa mbaara harĩa yehaarĩirie mũthenya wa mbere.

²³Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩambata makĩrĩra mbere ya Ithe witũ nginya hwaĩ-inĩ, makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkarũa rĩngĩ na ariũ a ithe witũ a Benjamini?” Nake Ithe witũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũmatharĩkĩre.”

²⁴Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩkuhĩrĩria andũ a Benjamini mũthenya wa keerĩ. ²⁵Nake Benjamini akiuma Gibea agĩthiĩ kũmatharĩkĩra mũthenya wa keerĩ, akĩũraga andũ a Isiraeli angĩ 18,000, othe meeohete hiũ cia njora.

²⁶Nao andũ a Isiraeli othe, mbũtũ yothe ya ita, makĩambata Betheli, magĩikara thĩ kũu makĩrĩra mbere ya Ithe witũ. Makĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio nginya hwaĩ-inĩ mũthenya ũcio, makĩruta magongona ma njino na magongona ma thaayũ mbere yake. ²⁷Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtuĩria kũrĩ Ithe witũ. (Matukũ-inĩ macio ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩĩkanĩro rĩa Ithe witũ rĩarĩ kũu,

²⁸nake Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru, mũrũ wa Aaroni, nĩwe watungataga mbere yarĩo.) Makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũcooka kuumagara rĩngĩ tũkarũe na ariũ a ithe witũ a Benjamini, kana tũtige?” Nake Ithe witũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ambatai, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩngũmaneana moko-inĩ manyu.”

²⁹Nake Isiraeli akĩiga andũ a kwĩhitha mĩena yothe ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie Gibea. ³⁰Mũthenya wa gatatũ andũ a Isiraeli magĩthiĩ kũrũa na andũ a Benjamini, makĩĩhaarĩria gũtharĩkĩra Gibea o ta mbere. ³¹Nao andũ a Benjamini makiuma magĩthiĩ kũmatũngana, makĩguucĩrĩrio moime itũũra rĩu inene. O ta mbere, makĩambĩrĩria kũũraga andũ, makĩũraga ta andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ a Isiraeli werũ-inĩ na njĩra-inĩ, ĩmwe yambatĩte Betheli na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ yathiĩte Gibea.

³²Nao andũ a Benjamini makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũramahoota o ta mbere.” No andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũũrei tũmaguucĩrĩrie moime itũũra rĩu inene mathiĩ njĩra-inĩ.”

³³Nao arũme a Isiraeli othe magĩũkĩra kuuma kũrĩa maarĩ, makĩĩhaarĩria kũu Baali-tamaru, nao andũ a Isiraeli a kwĩhitha magĩtuthũka kuuma kũrĩa maarĩ mwena wa ithũĩro wa Geba. ³⁴Nao andũ 10,000 a arĩa ega mũno a Isiraeli magĩkuhĩrĩria Gibea, nayo mbaara ĩgĩthĩĩna; no andũ a Benjamini matiamenyire atĩ mwanangĩko nĩwamakuhĩrĩirie. ³⁵Nake Ithe witũ agĩtooria Benjamini mbere ya Isiraeli; mũthenya ũcio Isiraeli akĩũraga andũ 25,100 a Benjamini, othe meeohete hiũ cia njora. ³⁶Nao andũ a Benjamini makĩona atĩ nĩmatoorio. Nao arũme a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka mbere ya Benjamini, meehokete andũ a kwĩhitha arĩa maaigĩte gũtharĩkĩra Gibea. ³⁷Nao andũ a kwĩhitha magĩtharĩkĩra Gibea o rĩmwe; makĩharaganĩra, makĩũraga itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe na rũhiũ rwa njora. ³⁸Nao arũme a Isiraeli nĩmaiganĩte kĩmenyithia na andũ acio a kwĩhitha: itu inene rĩa ndogo rĩkĩambata kuuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene. ³⁹Nao arũme a Isiraeli nĩmagũcooka thuutha mbaara-inĩ. Nake Benjamini nĩambĩrĩirie kũmooraga, akĩũraga ta andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩmatoorio mbere iitũ o ta mbaara-inĩ ya mbere.” ⁴⁰Rĩrĩa gĩtugĩ kĩa ndogo kĩambĩrĩirie kwambata kuuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, andũ a Benjamini makĩĩhũgũra—na itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe rĩkĩambata na ndogo rĩrorete igũrũ. ⁴¹Nao arũme a Isiraeli makĩhũndũka, nao arũme a Benjamini makĩmaka mũno, makĩona atĩ mwanangĩko nĩwamakinyĩire. ⁴²Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩhũndũka mbere ya arũme a Isiraeli marorete werũ-inĩ, no mbaara ĩkĩmakinyĩra, nao arĩa moimĩte matũũra-inĩ makĩmooragĩra gatagatĩ ga mbaara. ⁴³Makĩrigiicĩria andũ a Benjamini, makĩmateng'eria, makĩmakinyĩra handũ hao ha kũhurũka mwena wa irathĩro wa Gibea. ⁴⁴Nao andũ a Benjamini 18,000 makĩgwa, othe maarĩ njamba cia hinya. ⁴⁵Nao arĩa angĩ maatigarĩte makĩũrĩra werũ-inĩ marorete ihiga rĩa Rimoni, no Isiraeli akĩũraga andũ 5,000 njĩra-inĩ, akĩmateng'eria nginya Gidomu, akĩũraga andũ angĩ 2,000. ⁴⁶Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Benjamini othe arĩa maagwire mũthenya ũcio maarĩ 25,000 a hiũ cia njora, othe maarĩ njamba cia hinya. ⁴⁷No andũ 600 makĩũrĩra werũ-inĩ marorete ihiga rĩa Rimoni, magĩikara kũu mĩeri ĩna. ⁴⁸Nao arũme a Isiraeli makĩhũndũkĩra andũ a Benjamini, makĩmaũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora—itũũra rĩothe, andũ, nyamũ, na indo ciothe iria maakorire. Ningĩ magĩcina itũũra o rĩothe rĩrĩa maahĩtũkĩire.
