1Afunga amadoda akwaSirayeli eMizpa, esithi, Akukho kuthi uya kunika umBhenjamin intombi yakhe, ibe ngumkakhe.

2Beza abantu endlwini yoTHIXO oyinyaniso baza bahlala apho kwada kwahlwa phambi koThixo oyinyaniso, baza baphakamisa amazwi abo baza balila ngokukrakra;

3Wathi: “Yehova, Thixo kaSirayeli, ngani na ukuba namhlanje kufe esinye isizukulwana kwaSirayeli?

4Ngemini elandelayo abantu bavuka ekuseni baza bakha isibingelelo apho baza benza iminikelo etshiswayo neyombulelo.

5Bathi oonyana bakaSirayeli, Ngubani na ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli onganyukanga aye kuYehova nebandla? Ngokuba bamfungele isifungo esikhulu onganyukanga aye kuYehova eMitspe, besithi, Inene, uya kubulawa.

6Badana oonyana bakaSirayeli ngenxa kaBhenjamin, abazalwana babo, besithi, Namhla kutshabalale esinye isizwe sakwaSirayeli.

7Siya kubathini na abo baseleyo nabafazi, ekubeni thina sifungile uYehova ukuba asiyi kuwanika iintombi zethu zibe ngabafazi bawo?

8Bathi ke, Ngubani na ezizweni zakwaSirayeli onganyukanga aye kuYehova eMizpa? Nanko ke kungekho mntu eminqubeni yaseYabheshe eGiliyadi, emva kwentlanganiso leyo.

9Babalwa abantu, nanko kungabangakho namnye kubemi baseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi.

10Ibandla lathumela khona ishumi elinamabini lamawaka amadoda anobukroti, lawawisela umthetho, lisithi, Hambani niye kubulala abemi baseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi, ngohlangothi lwekrele, kwanabafazi nabantwana.

11Nantsi into eniya kuyenza: uqalekiseni onke amadoda, nabafazi bonke abathe balala nendoda;

12Bafumana kubemi baseYabheshe yaseGiliyadi, bafumana amakhulu omane iintombi eziziintombi, ekungaziwanga mntu ukuba abe neentlobano zokwazana nandoda; babazisa ekuthinjweni eShilo esezweni lakwaKanan.

13Lathumela lonke ibandla, laya kuthetha koonyana bakaBhenjamin ababesengxondorheni yeRimon, ukuba bacele uxolo.

14Abuya ke amaBhenjamin ngelo xesha; babanika abafazi ababebakhulise kubafazi baseYabheshe eGiliyadi, kodwa ababanelanga.

15Abantu bazisola ngoBhenjamin, kuba uYehova wayezinqamle izizwe zakwaSirayeli.

16Athi amadoda amakhulu ebandla, Siya kubathini na abaseleyo abafazi, xa etshatyalalisiwe abafazi bakwaBhenjamin?

17Bathi, Libe lilifa leembacu zakwaBhenjamin, ukuze singatshabalali isizwe kwaSirayeli.

18Ke thina asiyi kubanika abafazi beentombi zethu, ngokuba bafungile oonyana bakaSirayeli, besithi, Uqalekisiwe onika umBhenjamin umfazi.

19Babesithi ke, Niyabona, kukho umthendeleko kaYehova iminyaka ngeminyaka eShilo, ngasentla kweBheteli, ngasempumalanga endleleni ephuma eBheteli, iye kwaShekem, nasezantsi kweLebhona.

20Abawisela oonyana bakaBhenjamin, besithi, Lalani, nikhangele ezidiliyeni;

21yabonani, xenikweni iintombi zaseShilo ziphuma zingqungqa, ziphuma ezidiliyeni, zithabathele elowo umkakhe ezintombini zaseShilo, niye ezweni lakwaBhenjamin.

22Xa ooyise nabanakwazo beza kuthi beze kumangalela kuthi, sothi kubo, Senzeleni inceba ngenxa yethu; ngokuba anibanga namfazwe phakathi kwenu, ngokuba anibanikanga bona ixesha; ukuba netyala.

23Benjenjalo oonyana bakaBhenjamin, bazeka abafazi ngokwenani labo kwiemvumi ababezithimbile; banduluka, babuyela elifeni labo, bakha imizi, bahlala kuyo.

24Bemka apho oonyana bakaSirayeli ngelo xesha, baya elowo emizalwaneni yakhe, nasemzalwaneni wakowabo, baphuma khona, waya elowo elifeni lakhe.

25Ngaloo mihla kube kungekho kumkani kwaSirayeli; elowo wenza unothanda.
