< Judges 19 >

1 It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
Aconteceu também naqueles dias, em que não havia rei em Israel que, houve um homem levita, que peregrinando aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, tomou para si uma mulher concubina, de Beth-lehem de Judá.
2 His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about four months.
Porém a sua concubina fornicou contra ele, e foi-se dele para casa de seu pai, a Beth-lehem de Judá, e esteve ali alguns dias, a saber, quatro meses.
3 Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
E seu marido se levantou, e partiu após dela, para lhe falar conforme ao seu coração, e para tornar a traze-la: e o seu moço e um par de jumentos iam com ele: e ela o levou a casa de seu pai, e, vendo-o o pai da moça, alegrou-se ao encontrar-se com ele
4 His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
E seu sogro, o pai da moça, o deteve, e ficou com ele três dias: e comeram e beberam, e passaram ali a noite.
5 It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
E sucedeu que ao quarto dia pela manhã madrugaram, e ele levantou-se para partir: então o pai da moça disse a seu genro: Conforta o teu coração com um bocado de pão, e depois partireis.
6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
Assentaram-se pois, e comeram ambos juntos, e beberam; e disse o pai da moça ao homem: Peço-te que ainda esta noite queiras passa-la aqui, e alegre-se o teu coração.
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Porém o homem levantou-se para partir: mas seu sogro o constrangeu a tornar a passar ali a noite.
8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
E, madrugando ao quinto dia pela manhã para partir, disse o pai da moça: Ora conforta o teu coração. E detiveram-se até já declinar o dia: e ambos juntos comeram.
9 When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
Então o homem levantou-se para partir, ele, e a sua concubina, e o seu moço: e disse-lhe seu sogro, o pai da moça: Eis que já o dia se abaixa, e já a tarde vem entrando, peço-te que aqui passes a noite; eis que já o dia vai acabando, passa aqui a noite, e que o teu coração se alegre; e amanhã de madrugada levantai-vos a caminhar, e vai-te para a tua tenda.
10 But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
Porém o homem não quis ali passar a noite, mas levantou-se, e partiu, e veio até defronte de Jebus (que é jerusalém), e com ele o par de jumentos albardados, como também a sua concubina.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
Estando pois já perto de Jebus, e tendo-se já declinado muito o dia, disse o moço a seu senhor: caminhai agora, e retiremo-nos a esta cidade dos jebuseus, e passemos ali a noite.
12 His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
Porém disse-lhe seu senhor: Não nos retiraremos a nenhuma cidade estranha, que não seja dos filhos de Israel: mas passaremos até Gibeah.
13 He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
Disse mais a seu moço; Caminha, e cheguemos a um daqueles lugares, e passemos em Gibeah ou em Ramah.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Passaram pois adiante, e caminharam, e o sol se lhes pôs junto a Gibeah, que é cidade de Benjamin.
15 They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
E retiraram-se para lá, para entrarem a passar a noite em Gibeah; e, entrando ele, assentou-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os recolhesse em casa para ali passarem a noite.
16 Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
E eis que um homem velho vinha à tarde do seu trabalho do campo; e era este homem da montanha de Ephraim, mas peregrinava em Gibeah: eram porém os homens deste lugar filhos de Benjamin.
17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
Levantando ele pois os olhos, viu a este passageiro na praça da cidade, e disse o velho: Para onde vais, e de onde vens?
18 He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
E ele lhe disse: Passamos de Beth-lehem de Judá até aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, de onde sou; porquanto fui a Beth-lehem de Judá: porém agora vou à casa do Senhor; e ninguém há que me recolha em casa,
19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
Ainda que há palha e pasto para os nossos jumentos, e também pão e vinho há para mim, e para a tua serva, e para o moço que vem com os teus servos: de coisa nenhuma há falta.
20 And the old man said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
Então disse o velho: Paz seja contigo; tudo quanto te faltar fique ao meu cargo: tão somente não passes a noite na praça.
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
E trouxe-o a sua casa, e deu pasto aos jumentos: e, lavando-se os pés, comeram e beberam.
22 As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with him."
Estando eles alegrando o seu coração, eis que os homens daquela cidade (homens que eram filhos de Belial) cercaram a casa, batendo à porta; e falaram ao velho, senhor da casa, dizendo: Tira para fora o homem que entrou em tua casa, para que o conheçamos.
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
E o homem, senhor da casa, saiu a eles, e disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, ora não façais semelhante mal: já que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façais tal loucura.
24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
Eis que a minha filha virgem e a concubina dele vo-las tirarei fora; humilhai-as a elas, e fazei delas o que parecer bem aos vossos olhos; porém a este homem não façais loucura semelhante.
25 But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
Porém aqueles homens não o quizeram ouvir: então aquele homem pegou da sua concubina, e lha tirou para fora: e eles a conheceram e abusaram dela toda a noite até pela manhã, e, subindo a alva, a deixaram.
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
E ao romper da manhã veio a mulher, e caiu à porta da casa daquele homem, onde estava seu senhor, e ficou ali até que se fez claro.
27 Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
E, levantando-se seu senhor pela manhã, e abrindo as portas da casa, e saindo a seguir o seu caminho, eis que a mulher, sua concubina, jazia à porta da casa, com as mãos sobre o limiar.
28 And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
E ele lhe disse: Levanta-te, e vamo-nos, porém não respondeu; então pô-la sobre o jumento, e levantou-se o homem, e foi-se para o seu lugar.
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.
Chegando pois à sua casa, tomou um cutelo, e pegou na sua concubina, e a despedaçou com os seus ossos em doze partes: e enviou-as por todos os termos de Israel.
30 And it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
E sucedeu que cada um que tal via dizia: Nunca tal se fez, nem se viu desde o dia em que os filhos de Israel subiram da terra do Egito, até ao dia de hoje: ponderai isto no coração, considerai, e falai.
