3 Nuko bene Benyamini bumva yuko bene Isirayeli bari baduze i Mizipa+.

Maze bene Isirayeli bavuga bati: “Nimuvuge. Ico kintu kibi cabaye gute+?” 4 Wa mugabo, wa Mulewi+, umugabo wa wa mugore yicwa, aca arishura ati: “Nashitse i Gibeya+ hegukira Benyamini, jewe n’incoreke+ yanje kugira tuharare. 5 Nuko bene amatongo b’i Gibeya barampagurukira, bakikuza inzu mw’ijoro barantera. Ni jewe biyumvira kwica, mugabo incoreke yanje ni yo bashurashuje ku nguvu+, irateba irapfa+. 6 Naciye rero mfata incoreke yanje, ndayihimbagura, maze ndayirungika mu turere twose tw’intoranwa ya Isirayeli+, kuko bari bakoze ubushirasoni*+ n’ubusazi bw’agaterasoni muri Isirayeli+. 7 None rero yemwe bene Isirayeli mwese, nimugire ico muvuze n’ico muhanuye+ ng’aha.”

8 Nuko abantu bose bahaguruka nk’umuntu umwe+, bavuga bati: “Nta n’umwe muri twebwe aja kw’ihema ryiwe, eka kandi nta n’umwe muri twebwe akebereza ku nzu yiwe+. 9 Ubu rero, iki ni co kintu tugiye gukorera Gibeya. Tuduge kuhatera dukurikije ubupfindo+. 10 Tuze dutore abagabo cumi mw’ijana mu miryango yose ya Isirayeli, n’ijana mu gihumbi, n’igihumbi mu bihumbi cumi, kugira baronderere abantu impamba, ngo bano bagire ico bakoze mu kuja gutera Gibeya ha Benyamini, kubera ubusazi bw’agaterasoni+ bwose bakoze muri Isirayeli.” 11 Gutyo abagabo ba Isirayeli bose bakoranira gutera ico gisagara nk’umuntu umwe, bagize urunani.

12 Nuko imiryango ya Isirayeli irungika abagabo ku bantu bose bo mu muryango wa Benyamini+ ngo bavuge bati: “Ico kintu kibi cabaye muri mwebwe ni igiki+? 13 Ubu rero nimutange abo bagabo+, abo bagabo b’imburakimazi+ bari i Gibeya+, kugira tubice+, dukure ikibi muri Isirayeli+.” Ariko bene Benyamini ntibashaka kwumviriza ijwi rya bene wabo, bene Isirayeli+.

14 Maze bene Benyamini bakoranira hamwe i Gibeya bavuye mu bisagara, kugira basohoke baje mu rugamba rwo kurwanya bene Isirayeli. 15 Bene Benyamini barakoranywa rero kuri uwo musi bavuye mu bisagara, abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bitandatu barwanisha inkota+, uretse ababa i Gibeya, abakoranijwemwo abagabo amajana indwi b’abahizi. 16 Muri abo bantu bose harimwo abagabo amajana indwi b’abahizi bakoresha ibamfu+. Umwe wese muri abo yari uwuteza amabuye umugozi+, agema gushika ku bwaguke bw’agashatsi kandi ntahushe.

17 Nuko abagabo ba Isirayeli barakoranywa, uretse Benyamini, abagabo ibihumbi amajana ane barwanisha inkota+. Umwe wese muri abo yari umurwanyi. 18 Barahaguruka rero, baduga i Beteli maze basiguza Imana+. Nuko bene Isirayeli bavuga bati: “Ni nde muri twebwe azotangura kuduga mu rugamba rwo kurwanya bene Benyamini+?” Yehova avuga ati: “Yuda ni we azotangura+.”

19 Inyuma y’ivyo bene Isirayeli bahaguruka mu gitondo maze barakambika kugira batere Gibeya.

20 Abagabo ba Isirayeli barasohoka rero ngo baje mu rugamba rwo kurwanya bene Benyamini; nuko abo bagabo ba Isirayeli batonda urugamba ngo babarwanirize i Gibeya. 21 Maze bene Benyamini barasohoka bavuye i Gibeya+, kuri uwo musi bahonya abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bibiri muri Isirayeli, babatsinda hasi+. 22 Ariko abantu, abagabo ba Isirayeli, bagira umutima rugabo, bongera gutonda urugamba hamwe bari baratonze urugamba ku musi wa mbere. 23 Maze bene Isirayeli baduga kuririra+ imbere ya Yehova gushika ku mugoroba, babaza Yehova bati: “Nsubire kwegera mu rugamba rwo kurwanya bene Benyamini mwene wacu+?” Yehova avuga ati: “Duga umurwanye.”

24 Nuko rero bene Isirayeli begera bene Benyamini ku musi ugira kabiri+. 25 Bene Benyamini na bo barasohoka bavuye i Gibeya kugira batane mu mitwe kuri uwo musi ugira kabiri, maze bahonya abandi bagabo ibihumbi cumi n’umunani mu bagabo ba Isirayeli, babatsinda hasi+, abo bose bakaba barwanisha inkota+. 26 Nuko bene Isirayeli bose+, emwe abantu bose baraduga bashika i Beteli, baririra+ ng’aho bongera bicara ng’aho imbere ya Yehova; kuri uwo musi barisonzesha+ gushika ku mugoroba, bongera bashikana imbere ya Yehova amashikanwa aturirwa+ n’amashikanwa y’ugusangira+. 27 Inyuma y’ivyo, bene Isirayeli basiguza Yehova+, kuko aho ari ho isandugu y’isezerano+ ry’Imana y’ukuri yari muri iyo misi. 28 Finehasi+ mwene Eleyazari, Eleyazari wa Aroni, ni we yahagarara imbere yayo muri iyo misi+; nuko avuga ati: “Nsubire gusohoka nje mu rugamba kurwanya bene Benyamini mwene wacu canke ndeke+?” Yehova avuga ati: “Duga, kuko ejo nzomutanga mu kuboko kwawe+.” 29 Maze Isirayeli ishiraho abagabo bo kubundira+ Gibeya irya n’ino.

30 Hanyuma bene Isirayeli baduga kurwanya bene Benyamini ku musi ugira gatatu, maze batonda urugamba ngo barwanye Gibeya nko mu bindi bihe+. 31 Bene Benyamini basohotse guhura n’abo bantu, bajanwa kure y’igisagara+. Maze, nko muri vya bihe bindi, batangura gusasika bamwe mu bantu, bagenda baragwa ku nzira z’ibirari bakomeretse bimwe vyica, imwe muri izo nzira ikaba iduga i Beteli+ iyindi na yo i Gibeya+, mu gahinga, basasika nk’abagabo mirongo itatu muri Isirayeli+. 32 Bene Benyamini rero batangura kuvuga bati: “Baratsinzwe imbere yacu nk’ubwa mbere+.” Bene Isirayeli na bo bavuga bati: “Duhunge+, kandi turabajana kure y’igisagara ku nzira z’ibirari.” 33 Nuko abagabo bose ba Isirayeli bahaguruka aho bari maze baja gutonda urugamba i Bayali-tamari, mu gihe abo muri Isirayeli bari babunze+ bariko bavunduruka aho bari, mu micungararo ya Gibeya+. 34 Gutyo abagabo b’abahizi ibihumbi cumi bo muri Isirayeli yose bashika aharabana na Gibeya, urugamba rurareta; ariko Ababenyamini ntibari bazi ko ivyago+ vyari bigiye kubashikira.

35 Nuko Yehova atsinda Benyamini+ imbere ya Isirayeli, ku buryo kuri uwo musi bene Isirayeli bahonya muri Benyamini abagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bitanu n’ijana, abo bose bakaba barwanisha inkota+.

36 Ariko bene Benyamini biyumvira ko abagabo ba Isirayeli bagira batsindwe, kuko bano baguma bahunga+ imbere ya Benyamini, kubera ko bari bizigiye bamwe bari bashizeho ngo babundire Gibeya. 37 Nayo bamwe bari babunze, bagira ningoga birasa i Gibeya+. Maze abo bari babunze+ barasanzara, bakubitisha igisagara cose ubugi bw’inkota+.

38 Kandi abagabo ba Isirayeli bari bumvikanye n’abo bari babunze ko bano botumye ikimenyetso c’umwotsi kiduga kivuye mu gisagara+.

39 Bene Isirayeli bahindukiye ngo bahunge urugamba, bene Benyamini batangura gusasika nk’abagabo mirongo itatu mu bagabo ba Isirayeli+, bagwa bakomeretse bimwe vyica, kuko bavuze bati: “Ni ukuri baratsinzwe imbere yacu nko mu rugamba rwa mbere+.” 40 Nuko ca kimenyetso+ gitangura kuduga kivuye mu gisagara nk’inkingi y’umwotsi+. Bene Benyamini bahindukiye bakaraba inyuma, ehe umwotsi w’igisagara cose wariko uduga werekeza mw’ijuru+. 41 Nuko abagabo ba Isirayeli barahindukira+, maze abagabo ba Benyamini bahagarika umutima+, kuko babona ko ivyago vyari vyabashikiriye+. 42 Ku bw’ivyo, barahindukira imbere y’abagabo ba Isirayeli berekeza mu gahinga, maze urugamba ruboma inyuma, mu gihe ba bagabo bari bavuye mu bisagara bariko babicira hagati yabo. 43 Bakikuza bene Benyamini+. Barabakurikirana ata hantu ho kuruhukira+. Babakandagirira neza na neza imbere ya Gibeya+ amaja iyo izuba rirasira. 44 Amaherezo hagwa abagabo ba Benyamini ibihumbi cumi n’umunani, abo bose bakaba bari abagabo b’intwari+.

45 Gutyo barahindukira, bahungira mu gahinga ku rutare rwa Rimoni+. Mu nzira z’ibirari+ handurwa muri bo abagabo ibihumbi bitanu; baguma baboma inyuma gushika i Gidomu, bica muri bo abandi bagabo ibihumbi bibiri. 46 Abo kwa Benyamini bose baguye uwo musi, amaherezo bagera ku bagabo ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bitanu barwanisha inkota+, abo bose bakaba bari abagabo b’intwari. 47 Mugabo abagabo amajana atandatu barahindukira, bahungira mu gahinga ku rutare rwa Rimoni, bamara amezi ane baba kuri urwo rutare rwa Rimoni+.
