Judges 19
1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
Sa mga araw na iyon, nang walang hari sa Israel, mayroong isang lalaki, isang Levita, na pansamantalang naninirahan sa pinakamalayong bahagi ng burol na bansa ng Efraim. Kumuha siya ng isang babae para sa kaniyang sarili, isa pang asawa mula sa Bethlehem sa Juda.
2 His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.
Pero ang isa pa niyang asawa ay taksil sa kaniya; iniwanan siya at bumalik sa bahay ng kaniyang ama sa Bethlehem ng Juda. Nanatili siya roon sa loob ng apat na buwan.
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. She brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Pagkatapos tumayo ang kaniyang asawa at pumunta sa kaniya para hikayatin siyang bumalik. Kasama niya ang kaniyang tagapaglingkod, at isang pares ng mga asno. Dinala niya siya sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
4 His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
Nang nakita siya ng ama ng babae, nagalak siya. Ang kaniyang biyenan, ang ama ng babae, ay hinikayat siyang manatili sa loob ng tatlong araw. Kumain sila at uminom, at nagpalipas sila ng gabi roon.
5 On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. The young lady’s father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.”
Sa ika-apat na araw maaga silang bumangon at naghanda siya para umalis, pero sinabihan ng ama ng babae ang kaniyang manugang, “Palakasin mo ang iyong sarili sa pamamagitan ng kaunting tinapay, pagkatapos maaari kanang umalis.”
6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”
Kaya ang dalawa sa kanila ay umupo para kumain at uminom na magkasama. Pagkatapos sinabi ng ama ng babae, “Pakiusap pumayag na magpalipas ng gabi at magpakasaya.”
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Nang gumising ng maaga ang Levita para umalis, hinimok siya ng ama ng dalagang babae na manatili, kaya binago niya ang kaniyang binalak at muling nagpalipas ng gabi roon.
8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.
Sa ika-limang araw gumising siya ng maaga para umalis, pero sinabi ng ama ng babae, “Palakasin mo ang iyong sarili, maghintay hanggang hapon.” Kaya kumain silang dalawa.
9 When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”
Nang ang Levita at ang kaniyang isa pang asawa at ang kaniyang tagapaglingkod ay bumangon para umalis, ang kaniyang biyenan, ang ama ng babae ay sinabi sa kaniya, “Tingnan, malapit ng gumabi ngayon. Pakiusap manatili kayo ng isa pang gabi, at magpakasaya. Maaari kang gumising nang maaaga bukas at umuwi.”
10 But the man would not stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.
Pero hindi na ninanais ng Levita na magpalipas pa ng gabi. Bumangon siya at umalis. Pumunta siya patungong Jebus (iyon ay Jerusalem). Mayroon siyang isang pares ng mga sasakyang asno —at kasama niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”
Nang malapit na sila sa Jebus, malapit nang matapos ang araw, at sinabi ng tagapaglingkod sa kaniyang amo, “Halina, lumihis tayo patungo sa lungsod ng Jebuseo at magpalipas ng gabi roon.”
12 His master said to him, “We will not enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
Sinabi ng kaniyang amo sa kaniya, “Hindi tayo lilihis patungo sa isang lugnsod ng mga dayuhan na hindi kabilang sa bayan ng Israel. Pupunta tayo sa Gabaa.”
13 He said to his servant, “Come and let’s draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniyang binata, “Halina, pumunta tayo sa isa sa mga ibang lugar na iyon, at magpalipas ng gabi sa Gabaa o Rama.”
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Kaya nagpatuloy sila, at lumubog ang araw habang papalapit sila sa Gabaa, sa nasasakupan ng Benjamin.
15 They went over there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.
Lumihis sila roon para magpalipas ng gabi sa Gabaa. At pumasok siya at umupo sa plasa ng lungsod, sapagka't walang isa mang nagpatuloy sa kanila sa kaniyang bahay para sa gabi.
16 Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Pero pagkatapos dumating ang isang matandang lalaki mula sa kaniyang trabaho sa bukid ng gabing iyon. Siya ay mula sa burol na bansa ng Efraim, at panandalian siyang nakatira sa Gabaa. Pero ang mga kalalakihang naninirahan sa lugar na iyon ay mga Benjamita.
17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”
Tumingin siya at nakita ang manlalakbay sa plasa ng lungsod. Sinabi ng matandang lalaki, “Saan ka pupunta? Saan ka nanggaling?”
18 He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the LORD’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.
Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniya, “Kami ay naglalakbay mula sa Bethlehem sa Juda patungo sa pinakamalayong bahagi ng burol na bansa ng Efraim, na kung saan ako nagmula. Pumunta ako sa Bethlehem sa Juda, at papunta ako sa bahay ni Yahweh, pero wala ni isang magdadala sa akin sa kaniyang bahay.
19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”
Mayroon kaming dayami at pakain para sa aming mga asno, at mayroong tinapay at alak para sa akin at sa iyong babaeng lingkod dito, at para sa binatang ito na kasama ng iyong mga lingkod. Wala kaming kakulangan.”
20 The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but do not sleep in the street.”
Binati sila ng matandang lalaki, “Sumainyo ang kapayapaan! Ako ang bahala sa lahat ng inyong mga pangangailangan. Huwag lamang magpalipas ng gabi sa plasa.”
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Kaya dinala ng lalaki ang Levita sa kaniyang bahay at nagbigay ng pakain para sa mga asno. Hinugasan nila ang kanilang mga paa at kumain at uminom.
22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, 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 can have sex with him!”
Nagsasaya sila, nang ang mga kalalakihan sa lungsod, masasamang lalaki, ay pinalibutan ang bahay, hinahampas ang pinto. Nakipag-usap sila sa matandang lalaki, ang amo ng bahay, at sinabing, “Palabasin ang lalaking dumating sa iyong bahay, para makilala namin siya.”
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 folly.
Ang lalaki, ang amo ng bahay, lumabas at sinabi sa kanila, “Huwag, mga kapatid ko, pakiusap huwag gawin ang masamang bagay na ito! Sapagka't bisita sa aking bahay ang lalaking ito, huwag gawin ang masamang bagay na ito!
24 Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man do not do any such folly.”
Tingnan ninyo, narito ang aking birheng anak na babae at ang isa pang asawa. Hayaang ilabas ko sila ngayon. Lapastanganin sila at gawin sa kanila ang anumang nais ninyo. Pero huwag gumawa ng masamang bagay sa lalaking ito!”
25 But the men would not listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.
Pero ayaw makinig sa kaniya ng mga kalalakihan, kaya kinuha ng lalaki ang kaniyang isa pang asawa at inilabas siya sa kanila. Kinuha siya nila, ginahasa siya, at inabuso siya nang buong magdamag, at hinayaan nila siyang umalis ng madaling araw.
26 Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.
Sa madaling araw dumating ang babae at bumagsak sa pinto ng bahay ng lalaki kung saan naroon ang kaniyang amo, at nahiga siya roon hanggang sa magliwanag.
27 Her lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
Bumangon ang kaniyang amo sa umaga at binuksan ang mga pinto ng bahay at umalis papunta sa kainyang paroroonan. Nakikita niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa na nakahiga roon sa pintuan, na ang mga kamay ay nasa bungad.
28 He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka. Umalis na tayo.” Pero walang sagot. Isinakay niya siya sa asno at umalis ang lalaki para umuwi.
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
Nang makarating ang Levita sa kaniyang bahay, kumuha siya ng isang kutsilyo, at hinawakan niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa, at pinagputul-putol siya, biyas sa biyas, sa labing dalawang piraso, at pinadala ang mga piraso sa lahat ng dako ng Israel.
30 It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.”
Sinabi ng lahat ng nakakita nito, “Hindi pa nangyari ang bagay o nakita mula sa araw na lumabas ang mga tao ng Israel mula sa lupain ng Ehipto hanggang sa araw na ito. Isipin ang bagay na ito! Bigyan kami ng payo! Sabihin sa amin kung ano ang gagawin!”
