Judges 19
1 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that a certain Levite, sojourning on the further side of mount Ephraim, took him a concubine out of Bethlehem-Judah.
當以色列中沒有王的時候，有住以法蓮山地那邊的一個利未人，娶了一個猶大伯利恆的女子為妾。
2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Bethlehem-Judah, and was there some time, — four months.
妾行淫離開丈夫，回猶大的伯利恆，到了父家，在那裏住了四個月。
3 And her husband rose up and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again; and his servant was with him, and a couple of asses. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the damsel saw him he rejoiced to meet him.
她丈夫起來，帶着一個僕人、兩匹驢去見她，用好話勸她回來。女子就引丈夫進入父家。她父見了那人，便歡歡喜喜地迎接。
4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him, and he abode with him three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
那人的岳父，就是女子的父親，將那人留下住了三天。於是二人一同吃喝、住宿。
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; and the damsel's father said to his son-in-law, Refresh thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards ye may go your way.
到第四天，利未人清早起來要走，女子的父親對女婿說：「請你吃點飯，加添心力，然後可以行路。」
6 And they sat down, and ate and drank, both of them together. And the damsel's father said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and pass the night, and let thy heart be glad.
於是二人坐下一同吃喝。女子的父親對那人說：「請你再住一夜，暢快你的心。」
7 And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
那人起來要走，他岳父強留他，他又住了一宿。
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; but the damsel's father said, Refresh thy heart, I pray thee. And they lingered until the afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
到第五天，他清早起來要走，女子的父親說：「請你吃點飯，加添心力，等到日頭偏西再走。」於是二人一同吃飯。
9 And the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant; and his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him, Behold now, the day draws toward evening — I pray you stay all night; behold, the day is declining, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go to thy tent.
那人同他的妾和僕人起來要走，他岳父，就是女子的父親，對他說：「看哪，日頭偏西了，請你再住一夜；天快晚了，可以在這裏住宿，暢快你的心。明天早早起行回家去。」
10 But the man would not tarry the night; and he rose up and departed, and came opposite to Jebus, that is, Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, and his concubine was with him.
那人不願再住一夜，就備上那兩匹驢，帶着妾起身走了，來到耶布斯的對面（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷。）
11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
臨近耶布斯的時候，日頭快要落了，僕人對主人說：「我們不如進這耶布斯人的城裏住宿。」
12 But his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, which is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass on to Gibeah.
主人回答說：「我們不可進不是以色列人住的外邦城，不如過到基比亞去」；
13 And he said to his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places, and lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
又對僕人說：「我們可以到一個地方，或住在基比亞，或住在拉瑪。」
14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
他們就往前走。將到便雅憫的基比亞，日頭已經落了；
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in, to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in, and sat down in the open place of the city; and there was no one that received him into his house to pass the night.
他們進入基比亞要在那裏住宿，就坐在城裏的街上，因為無人接他們進家住宿。
16 And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjaminites.
晚上，有一個老年人從田間做工回來。他原是以法蓮山地的人，住在基比亞；那地方的人卻是便雅憫人。
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the open place of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
老年人舉目看見客人坐在城裏的街上，就問他說：「你從哪裏來？要往哪裏去？」
18 And he said to him, We are travelling from Bethlehem-Judah towards the further side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I; and I went to Bethlehem-Judah, and I have to do with the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that receives me into his house.
他回答說：「我們從猶大的伯利恆來，要往以法蓮山地那邊去。我原是那裏的人，到過猶大的伯利恆，現在我往耶和華的殿去，在這裏無人接我進他的家。
19 And we have both straw and provender for our asses; and I have bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants: there is no lack of anything.
其實我有糧草可以餵驢，我與我的妾，並我的僕人，有餅有酒，並不缺少甚麼。」
20 Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
老年人說：「願你平安！你所需用的我都給你，只是不可在街上過夜。」
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
於是領他們到家裏，餵上驢，他們就洗腳吃喝。
22 They were making their hearts merry, when behold, the men of the city, sons of Belial, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.
他們心裏正歡暢的時候，城中的匪徒圍住房子，連連叩門，對房主老人說：「你把那進你家的人帶出來，我們要與他交合。」
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brethren, I pray you, do not wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this villany.
那房主出來對他們說：「弟兄們哪，不要這樣作惡；這人既然進了我的家，你們就不要行這醜事。
24 Behold, my daughter, who is a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out, and humble ye them, and do to them as is good in your sight; but to this man do not so vile a thing.
我有個女兒，還是處女，並有這人的妾，我將她們領出來任憑你們玷辱她們，只是向這人不可行這樣的醜事。」
25 But the men would not hearken to him; and the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning; and let her go when the morning-dawn arose.
那些人卻不聽從他的話。那人就把他的妾拉出去交給他們，他們便與她交合，終夜凌辱她，直到天色快亮才放她去。
26 And the woman came at the dawning of the day, and fell down at the entrance of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
天快亮的時候，婦人回到她主人住宿的房門前，就仆倒在地，直到天亮。
27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the door of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, there lay the woman his concubine at the entrance of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
早晨，她的主人起來開了房門，出去要行路，不料那婦人仆倒在房門前，兩手搭在門檻上；
28 And he said to her, Up, and let us go; but no one answered. And he took her upon the ass; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
就對婦人說：「起來，我們走吧！」婦人卻不回答。那人便將她馱在驢上，起身回本處去了。
29 And when he was come into his house, he took the knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders of Israel.
到了家裏，用刀將妾的屍身切成十二塊，使人拿着傳送以色列的四境。
30 And it came to pass that every one that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day. Think it over, advise, and speak.
凡看見的人都說：「從以色列人出埃及地，直到今日，這樣的事沒有行過，也沒有見過。現在應當思想，大家商議當怎樣辦理。」
