Книга Судей израилевых 19
1 И бысть в тыя дни не бяше царя во Израили: и бысть муж левитин живый во стране горы Ефремовы, и поя себе жену подложницу от Вифлеема Иудина:
And there was a Levite sojourning in the sides of mount Ephraim, and he took to himself a concubine from Bethleem Juda.
2 и разгневася нань подложница его, и отиде от него в дом отца своего в Вифлеем Иудин, и бе тамо четыри месяцы:
And his concubine departed from him, and went away from him to the house of her father to Bethleem Juda, and she was there four months.
3 и воста муж ея и иде вслед ея глаголати в сердце ея, обратити ю к себе и привести паки к себе: и отрок его с ним, и двое ослят: она же введе его в дом отца своего:
And her husband rose up, and went after her to speak kindly to her, to recover her to himself; and he had his young man with him, and a pair of asses; and she brought him into the house of her father; and the father of the damsel saw him, and was well pleased to meet him.
4 и виде его отец отроковицы и изыде с веселием во сретение его, и удержа его тесть его отец отроковицы, и пребысть с ним три дни, и ядоша и пиша, и спаша тамо.
And his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, constrained him, and he stayed with him for three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
5 И бысть в день четвертый, и обутреша заутра, и воста поити. И рече отец отроковицы к зятю своему: укрепи сердце твое укрухом хлеба, и по сем пойдете.
And it came to pass on the fourth day that they rose early, and he stood up to depart; and the father of the damsel said to his son-in-law, Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards you shall go.
6 И седоша, и ядоша оба вкупе и пиша. И рече отец отроковицы к мужу: иди ныне и преспи, и возблажает сердце твое.
So they two sat down together and ate and drank: and the father of the damsel said to her husband, Tarry now the night, and let your heart be merry.
7 И воста муж поити: и понуди его тесть его, и седе, и пребысть тамо.
And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law constrained him, and he stayed and lodged there.
8 И воста рано в пятый день да идет. И рече отец отроковицы: укрепи убо сердце твое хлебом, и пребуди дондеже преклонится день. И ядоша и пиша оба.
And he rose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the father of the damsel said, Strengthen now your heart, and quit yourself as a soldier till the day decline; and the two ate.
9 И воста муж да идет сам и подложница его и отрок его. И рече ему тесть его отец отроковицы: се, уже преклонися день к вечеру, пребуди зде, и возблажает сердце твое, и обутреете утро в путь ваш, и отидеши в селение свое.
And the man rose up to depart, he and his concubine, and his young man; but his father-in-law the father of the damsel said to him, Behold now, the day has declined toward evening; lodge here, an let your heart rejoice; and you shall rise early to-morrow for your journey, and you shall go to your habitation.
10 И не изволи муж пребыти, и воста и отиде: и прииде даже прямо Иевусу, сей есть Иерусалим, и с ним двое ослят с бремены, и подложница его с ним.
But the man would not lodge there, but he arose and departed, and came to the part opposite Jebus, (this is Jerusalem, ) and [there was] with him a pair of asses saddled, and his concubine [was] with him.
11 И приидоша до Иевуса, и день преклонися к вечеру зело: и рече отрок ко господину своему: гряди убо, да уклонимся во град сей Иевус и пребудем в нем.
And they came as far as Jebus: and the day had far advanced, and the young man said to his master, Come, I pray you, and let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites, and let us lodge in it.
12 И рече к нему господин его: не уклонимся во град чуждь, в немже несть от сынов Израилевых, но прейдем до Гаваона.
And his master said to him, We will not turn aside to a strange city, where there is not one of the children of Israel, but we will pass on as far as Gabaa.
13 И рече ко отроку своему: гряди, да приступим ко единому от мест Гаваонских и пребудем в Гаваоне или в Раме.
And he said to his young man, Come, and let us draw near to one of the places, and we will lodge in Gabaa or in Rama.
14 И минуша, и идоша, и зайде им солнце близ Гаваона, иже есть Вениаминь:
And they passed by and went on, and the sun went down upon them near to Gabaa, which is in Benjamin.
15 и уклонишася тамо внити превитати в Гаваоне, и внидоша и седоша на стогнах града: и не бе муж вводяй их в дом превитати.
And they turned aside thence to go in to lodge in Gabaa; and they went in, and sat down in the street of the city, and there was no one who conducted them into a house to lodge.
16 И се, муж стар идяше с дела своего из поля в вечер, и сей муж от горы Ефремли, и той обиташе в Гаваоне: и мужие места сынове Вениамини.
And behold, an old man came out of the field from his work in the evening; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gabaa, and the men of the place [were] sons of Benjamin.
17 И возвед очи свои, виде мужа путника на стогнах градных, и рече муж старец: камо идеши и откуду грядеши?
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw a traveller in the street of the city; and the old man said to him, Whither go you, and whence come you?
18 И рече к нему: грядем мы от Вифлеема Иудина даже до стран горы Ефремли, отюнудуже аз есмь: и ходих до Вифлеема Иудина, и иду аз в дом мой: и несть мужа вводящаго мя в дом:
And he said to him, We are passing by from Bethleem Juda to the sides of mount Ephraim: I am from thence, and I went as far as Bethleem Juda, and I am going home, and there is no man to take me into his house.
19 а плевы и пища ослятом нашым есть, и мне хлеб и вино есть, и отроковице и отроку: рабом твоим несть скудно ни коея вещи.
Yet is there straw and food for our asses, and bread and wine for me and my handmaid and the young man with your servants; there is no lack of anything.
20 И рече муж стар: мир тебе: и весь недостаток твой на мне, обаче на стогнах не лязи.
And the old man said, Peace [be] to you; only be every lack of your upon me, only do you by no means lodge in the street.
21 И введе его в дом свой, и даде место ослятом его: и омыша ноги своя, и ядоша и пиша.
And he brought him into his house, and made room for his asses; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 Егда же возвеселися сердце их, и се, мужие градстии сынове беззаконников обыдоша дом биюще в двери, и реша мужу господину дому старцу, глаголюще: изведи мужа иже вниде в дом твой, да познаем его.
And they [were] comforting their heart, when, behold, the men of the city, sons of transgressors, compassed the house, knocking at the door: and they spoke to the old man the owner of the house, saying, Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him.
23 И изыде к ним муж господин дому и рече: ни, братия, не сотворите зла мужу сему повнегда внити ему в дом мой, и не сотворите безумия сего:
And the master of the house came out to them, and said, Nay, brethren, do not you wrong, I pray you, after this man has come into my house; do not you this folly.
24 се, дщерь моя дева, и подложница его: изведу их, и смирите их, и сотворите им еже благо пред очима вашима: а мужу сему не сотворите словесе безумия сего.
Behold my daughter a virgin, and the man's concubine: I will bring them out, and humble you them, and do to them that which is good in your eyes; but to this man do not this folly.
25 И не изволиша мужие послушати его. И взя муж подложницу его и изведе ю к ним вон: и познаша ю и ругашася над нею всю нощь даже до утра, и отпустиша ю, егда взыде денница.
But the men would not consent to listen to him; so the man laid hold of his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night till the morning, and let her go when the morning dawned.
26 И прииде жена к заутрию, и паде у дверий дому, идеже бяше муж ея, до разсветания.
And the woman came toward morning, and fell down at the door of the house where her husband was, until it was light.
27 И воста муж ея заутра, и отверзе двери дому и изыде поити в путь свой: и се, жена его подложница лежаше при дверех дому, и руце ея на преддверии.
And her husband rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went forth to go on his journey; and, behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down by the doors of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.
28 И рече к ней: востани, да идем. И не отвеща ему, бяше бо мертва. И возложи ю на осля, и воста муж и пойде на место свое.
And he said to her, Rise, and let us go; and she answered not, for she was dead: and he took her upon his ass, and went to his place.
29 И прииде в дом свой, и взя нож, и взя подложницу свою, и раздроби ю по удесем ея на дванадесять частей, и посла я во вся племена Израилева.
And he took his sword, and laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve parts, and sent them to every coast of Israel.
30 И бысть всяк видящий глаголаше: не бысть, ни видено бе сице от дне изшествия сынов Израилевых от земли Египетския даже до дне сего. И заповеда мужем, ихже посла, глаголя: сице глаголите ко всему Израилю: аще бысть по словеси сему? Уставите сами себе о ней совет и глаголите.
And it was so, that every one who saw it said, [Such a day] as this has not happened nor has been seen from the day of the going up of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt until this day: take you counsel concerning it, and speak.
