21 Mpindieu bantu ba mu Isalele bakenza mutshipu eu ku Misepa ne:+ “Muntu nansha umue wa kutudi kakufila muanende wa bakaji kudi muntu wa mu Benyamina bua ikale mukajende to.”+

3 Bavua bamba ne: “Yehowa Nzambi wa Isalele, bua tshinyi bualu ebu mbuenzeke mu Isalele? Bua tshinyi lelu tshisa tshimue tshidi tshipangika mu Isalele?”
4 Dituku diakalonda bena Isalele bakajuka mu dinda menemene, kuasabu tshioshelu kuntu aku bua kufila milambu ya kuosha ne milambu ya diumvuangana.+

7 Netuenze tshinyi bua kupesha bantu badi bashale bakaji, mpindieu utukadi baditshipe kudi Yehowa+ bua kubenga kubapesha bana betu ba bakaji bua bikale bakaji babu?”+
8 Bakebeja ne: “Mbanganyi munkatshi mua bisa bia Isalele bavua kabayi babande kudi Yehowa ku Misepa?”+ Nunku biakenzeka ne: kakuvua muntu nansha umue wa ku Yabesha-gilada uvua mulue mu tshitudilu muaba uvuabu badisangishe.

12 Bakasangana munkatshi mua bena mu Yabesha-gilada bansongakaji 400 batshivua tumama, bavua kabayi banji kusangila ne mulume. Nunku bakalua nabu mu tshitudilu ku Shilo,+ mu buloba bua Kanâna.
13 Pashishe tshisumbu tshijima tshiakatumina bena Benyamina mukenji ku mukuna wa dibue wa Limona,+ kubambilabu bua bumvuangane ne bikale mu ditalala.
14 Nunku bena Benyamina bakalukila tshikondo atshi. Bakabapesha bakaji bavuabu balame ne muoyo ba mu bantu bakaji ba mu Yabesha-gilada,+ kadi kabavua bapete bakaji bungi bubakumbane to.

16 Bakulu ba tshisumbu bakamba ne: “Netuenze tshinyi bua kupesha bantu badi bashale aba bakaji, bu mudi bantu bakaji bonso ba mu Benyamina babutudibue?”
17 Bakandamuna ne: “Kudi ne bua kuikala bumpianyi bua bena Benyamina badi bashale ne muoyo, bua tshisa tshimue katshijiminyi mu Isalele to.
18 Kadi ki mbianyishibue bua tuetu kubapesha bakaji munkatshi mua bana betu ba bakaji to, bualu bantu ba mu Isalele bavua baditshipe ne: ‘Mulawu wikale kudi muntu udi upesha Benyamina mukaji.’”+
19 Nunku bakamba ne: “Tangilayi! Tshidimu tshionso kudi tshibilu tshia Yehowa ku Shilo+ udi ku nord kua Betele, ku est kua njila munene udi mubande umbukila ku Betele mutangile ku Shekeme, ne ku sud kua Lebona.”
20 Ke bobu kutumina bantu ba mu Benyamina dîyi ne: “Ndayi, nubutame mu madimi a tumuma tua mvinyo.
21 Nunku panudi numona bansongakaji* ba mu Shilo bapatuka bua kuditua mu maja abu adibu baja banyunguluka bele tshijengu, muntu yonso wa kunudi neapatuke mu madimi a tumuma tua mvinyo, neakuate mukaji munkatshi mua bansongakaji ba mu Shilo, pashishe nenupingane mu buloba bua Benyamina.
22 Batatuabu ne bana babu ba balume bobu balue kutuasa bualu, dîba adi netubambile ne: ‘Tumvuilayiku bua bualu buabu, bualu katuvua mua kupesha muntu yonso mukaji ku mvita+ ne nuenu kanuvua mua kubapesha bakaji kanuyi nupila.’”+
23 Nunku bantu ba mu Benyamina bakenza anu nanku, ne yonso wa kudibu wakakuata mukaji munkatshi mua bantu bakaji bavua baja maja. Pashishe bakapingana ku bumpianyi buabu, kuasululabu bimenga biabu+ ne kusombelamu.
24 Nunku tshikondo atshi bena Isalele bakumbuka kuntu aku, kumuangalakabu muntu yonso mu tshisa tshiabu ne mu dîku diabu, ne bakumbuka kuntu aku, muntu yonso kuya ku bumpianyi buende.
25 Mu matuku au kakuvua mukalenge mu Isalele to.+ Muntu yonso uvua wenza tshivua tshiakane ku mêsu kuende.*
