< Judges 19 >

1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a man, a Levite, living for a while in the most remote area of the hill country of Ephraim. He took for himself a woman, a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
И у то време, кад не беше цара у Израиљу, беше један Левит који живљаше као дошљак крај горе Јефремове, и узе иночу из Витлејема Јудиног.
2 But his concubine was unfaithful to him; she left him and went back to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah. She stayed there for four months.
А иноча његова чињаше прељубу код њега, па отиде од њега кући оца свог у Витлејем Јудин, и оста онде четири месеца.
3 Then her husband got up and went after her in order to persuade her to come back. His servant was with him, and a pair of donkeys. She brought him into her father's house. When the girl's father saw him, he was glad.
А муж њен уста и отиде за њом да јој лепо говори и да је доведе натраг, имајући са собом момка свог, и два магарца; и она га уведе у кућу оца свог, и кад га виде отац њен обрадова се доласку његовом.
4 His father-in-law, the girl's father, persuaded him to stay for three days. They ate and drank, and they spent the night there.
И устави га таст његов, отац младичин, и оста код њега три дана, и онде јеђаху и пијаху и ноћиваху.
5 On the fourth day they got up early and he prepared to go, but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen yourself with a bit of bread, then you may go.”
А четврти дан кад усташе рано, уста и он да иде; али отац младичин рече зету свом: Поткрепи срце своје залогајем хлеба, па онда идите.
6 So the two of them sat down to eat and drink together. Then the girl's father said, “Please be willing to spend the night and have a good time.”
И тако седоше и седоше обојица заједно и напише се; па рече отац младичин мужу: Хајде остани још ноћас, и буди весео.
7 When the Levite got up to leave, the father of the young woman urged him to stay, so he changed his plan and spent the night there again.
Али човек уста да иде; али таст његов навали на њ, те опет ноћи онде.
8 On the fifth day he woke up early to leave, but the girl's father said, “Strengthen yourself, and wait until the afternoon.” So the two of them had a meal.
Потом урани петог дана да иде; и рече му отац младичин: Поткрепи срце своје. И једући заједно забавише се докле и дан наже.
9 When the Levite and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father said to him, “See, now the day is advancing toward evening. Please stay another night, and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and go back home.”
Тада уста човек да иде, он и иноча му и момак; а таст његов, отац младичин, рече му: Ето, дан је већ нагао, вече је, преноћите овде; ето доцкан је, преноћи овде, и буди весео, па сутра ураните на пут, и иди к свом шатору.
10 But the Levite was not willing to spend the night. He got up and left. He went toward Jebus (that is Jerusalem). He had a pair of saddled donkeys—and his concubine was with him.
Али човек не хте ноћити; него уста и пође; и дође до Јевуса, а то је Јерусалим, и с њим два магарца натоварена и иноча његова.
11 When they were near Jebus, the day was nearly over, and the servant said to his master, “Come, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it.”
А кад беху близу Јевуса, дан беше нагао врло, па рече слуга господару свом: Хајде брже да се свратимо у тај град Јевус, и ту да ноћимо.
12 His master said to him, “We will not turn aside into a city of foreigners who do not belong to the people of Israel. We will go on to Gibeah.”
А господар му рече: Нећемо свртати у туђ град, који није синова Израиљевих, него ћемо ићи до Гаваје.
13 The Levite said to his young man, “Come, let us go to one of those other places, and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
Још рече момку свом: Хајде брже да стигнемо у које од тих места и да ноћимо у Гаваји или у Рами.
14 So they went on, and the sun set as they came near to Gibeah, in the territory of Benjamin.
И минуше онуда и отидоше; и сунце их зађе близу Гаваје Венијаминове.
15 They turned aside there to spend the night in Gibeah. They went and sat down in the city square, but no one took them into his house for the night.
И окретоше онамо да отиду и преноће у Гаваји, и кад уђе, седе на улици градској; и не би никога да их прими у кућу да преноће.
16 But then an old man was coming from his work in the field that evening. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying for a while in Gibeah. But the men living in that place were Benjamites.
И гле, један старац враћаше се с посла свог из поља увече, а беше из горе Јефремове и живљаше као дошљак у Гаваји; а људи оног места беху синови Венијаминови.
17 He raised his eyes and saw the traveler in the city square. The old man said, “Where are you going? Where are you coming from?”
И он подигавши очи своје угледа оног човека путника на улици градској; и рече му старац: Куда идеш? И откуда идеш?
18 The Levite said to him, “We are on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to the most remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, which is where I come from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to the house of Yahweh, but there is no one who will take me into his house.
А он му одговори: Идемо до Витлејема Јудиног до на крај горе Јефремове; оданде сам, па сам ишао до Витлејема Јудиног, а сада идем к дому Господњем и нема никога да ме прими у кућу.
19 We have straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine for me and your female servant here, and for this young man with your servants. We lack nothing.”
А имамо и сламе и пиће за магарце своје, и хлеба и вина за се и за слушкињу твоју и за момка који је са слугом твојим имамо свега доста.
20 The old man greeted them, “Peace be with you! I will take care of all your needs. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
А старац му рече: Буди миран; шта ти год недостаје, ја ћу се старати за то; само немој ноћити на улици.
21 So the man brought the Levite into his house and gave feed to the donkeys. They washed their feet and ate and drank.
И уведе га у своју кућу, и положи магарцима; потом опраше ноге, и једоше и пише.
22 While they were making their hearts glad, some men of the city, worthless men, surrounded the house, beating on the door. They spoke to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, so we can have sex with him.”
А кад се развеселише, гле, људи оног града, безаконици, опколише кућу, и стадоше лупати у врата, и рекоше старцу, господару од куће, говорећи: Изведи тог човека што је ушао у твоју кућу, да га познамо.
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, please do not do this evil thing! Since this man is a guest in my house, do not do this wicked thing!
И изашав к њима онај човек, господар од куће, рече им: Не, браћо, не чините зло; кад је човек ушао у моју кућу, не чините то безумље.
24 See, my virgin daughter and his concubine are here. Let me bring them out now. Violate them and do with them whatever you like. But do not do such a wicked thing to this man!”
Ево кћи моја девојка и иноча његова, њих ћу вам извести, па њих осрамотите и чините с њима шта вам је воља, само човеку овом не чините то безумље.
25 But the men would not listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them. They raped her and abused her all throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
Али га не хтеше послушати они људи; тада онај човек узе иночу своју и изведе је напоље к њима, и они је познаше, и злоставише је целу ноћ до зоре, и пустише је кад зора забеле.
26 At dawn the woman came and she fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, and she lay there until it was light.
И дошавши жена у зору паде код врата од куће оног човека где беше господар њен, и лежа докле се не расвану.
27 Her master rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way. He could see his concubine lying there at the door, with her hands on the threshold.
А господар њен уста ујутру, и кад отвори врата и изађе да иде својим путем, а то жена иноча његова лежаше на вратима кућним, и руке јој на прагу.
28 The Levite said to her, “Get up. Let us go.” But there was no answer. He put her on the donkey, and the man set out for home.
И рече јој: Устани да идемо. Али не би одговора; тада је метну на магарца, и уставши човек пође у место своје,
29 When the Levite came to his house, he took a knife, and he took hold of his concubine, and cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent the pieces everywhere throughout Israel.
И дошав кући својој узе мач, и узе иночу своју и исече је с костима на дванаест комада и разасла у све крајеве Израиљеве.
30 All who saw this said, “Such a thing has never been done or seen from the day the people of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this present day. Think about it! Give us advice! Tell us what to do!”
И ко год виде говораше: Није се учинило нити се видело такво шта откад изиђоше синови Израиљеви из Мисира до данас. Промислите о том и већајте и говорите.
