< Judges 19 >

1 Also in those dayes, when there was no king in Israel, a certaine Leuite dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, and tooke to wife a concubine out of Beth-lehem Iudah,
Nan tan sa a pa t' gen wa nan peyi Izrayèl la. Yon jou, yon moun Levi ki te rete nan fon mòn Efrayim yo leve, l' al pran yon fanm, moun lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida, pou fanm kay li.
2 And his concubine played ye whore there, and went away from him vnto her fathers house to Beth-lehem Iudah, and there continued the space of foure moneths.
Men, fanm lan vin tonbe nan dezòd sou li, epi li kite l', li tounen lakay papa l', lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. Li pase kat mwa la.
3 And her husband arose and went after her, to speake friendly vnto her, and to bring her againe: he had also his seruant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him vnto her fathers house, and when the yong womans father sawe him, he reioyced of his comming.
Lè sa a, mari a leve, l' al dèyè l' pou l' wè si li te ka tounen avè l' ankò. Li te pati ansanm ak yon domestik ak de bourik. Madanm lan te byen resevwa l' lakay papa l'. Lè papa madanm lan wè l', li te byen kontan resevwa l' tou.
4 And his father in lawe, the yong womans father reteined him: and he abode with him three dayes: so they did eate and drinke, and lodged there.
Bòpè a pran tèt moun Levi a, li fè l' rete pase twa jou avè l'. Mesyedam yo manje, yo bwè, yo pase nwit nan kay la.
5 And when the fourth day came, they arose earely in the morning, and he prepared to depart: then the yong womans father said vnto his sonne in lawe, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and then go your way.
Sou katriyèm jou a, yo leve granmaten, yo pare zafè yo pou yo pati. Men, papa madanm lan di moun Levi a konsa: -Mete yon bagay nan vant ou anvan. W'a santi ou anfòm. Aprè sa, w'a pati.
6 So they sate downe, and did eate and drinke both of them together. And the yong womans father said vnto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tary all night, and let thine heart be merie.
Mesyedam yo chita, yo manje, epi yo bwè. Apre sa, papa madanm lan di moun Levi a konsa: -Tanpri, pase nwit la ankò isit la. Pran plezi ou non!
7 And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
Nonm lan te leve pou l' pati, men bòpè a sitèlman kenbe la avè l', li tounen pase nwit la la ankò.
8 And he arose vp earely the fifth day to depart, and the yong womans father saide, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee: and they taryed vntill after midday, and they both did eate.
Sou senkyèm jou a, nan granmaten, li leve pou l' ale. Bòpè a di l' konsa: -Mete kichòy nan vant ou non, monchè. W'a pati pita. Se konsa de mesye yo chita, yo manje.
9 Afterwarde when the man arose to depart with his concubine and his seruant, his father in lawe, the yong womans father said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the day draweth towarde euen: I pray you, tary all night: beholde, the sunne goeth to rest: lodge here, that thine heart may be merie, and to morowe get you earely vpon your way, and goe to thy tent.
Aprè sa, nonm lan leve pou l' ale ansanm ak fanm kay li ak domestik li a, men bòpè a di l': -Gade solèy pral kouche, tou rete pase nwit lan non. Talè fènwa pral tonbe. Rete non, monchè. Pran plezi ou! Denmen, w'a leve byen bonè pou vwayaj la, w'aprale lakay ou.
10 But the man would not tarry, but arose and departed, and came ouer against Iebus, (which is Ierusalem) and his two asses laden, and his concubine were with him.
Men, fwa sa a nonm lan pa t' vle rete pase yon lòt nwit ankò. Li leve, l' ale ansanm ak fanm kay li ak de bourik yo tou sele. Yo rive toupre lavil Jebis ki vle di lavil Jerizalèm.
11 When they were neere to Iebus, the day was sore spent, and the seruant said vnto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let vs turne into this citie of the Iebusites, and lodge all night there.
Lè sa a, te konmanse ap fè nwa anpil, domestik la di l' konsa: -Ann fè yon antre nan lavil moun Jebis yo non. N'a pase nwit la la.
12 And his master answered him, We will not turne into the citie of strangers that are not of the children of Israel, but we will goe forth to Gibeah.
Men, mèt la di l' konsa: -Non! Nou pa pral antre nan lavil moun lòt nasyon yo, kote pa gen yon moun pèp Izrayèl la menm. N'ap fè wout nou jouk nou rive lavil Gibeya.
13 And he said vnto his seruant, Come, and let vs drawe neere to one of these places, that wee may lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.
Ann al pi devan. N'a pase nwit lan lavil Gibeya osinon lavil Rama.
14 So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
Se konsa yo pa rete, y' al fè wout yo. Solèy t'ap fin kouche lè yo rive bò lavil Gibeya, ki nan teritwa moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo.
15 Then they turned thither to goe in and lodge in Gibeah: and when he came, he sate him downe in a streete of the citie: for there was no man that tooke them into his house to lodging.
Yo chankre sou wout la, yo vin pase nwit lan lavil Gibeya. Moun Levi a antre nan lavil la, l' al chita sou plas la, men pesonn pa t' envite yo vin pase nwit lan lakay yo.
16 And beholde, there came an old man from his work out of the field at euen, and the man was of mount Ephraim, but dwelt in Gibeah: and the men of the place were the children of Iemini.
Nan aswè, yon granmoun gason ki t'ap sot nan jaden vin ap antre lakay li. Se te yon moun mòn Efrayim yo li te ye. Li te rete lavil Gibeya. Men, tout moun lavil yo se moun fanmi Benjamen yo te ye.
17 And when he had lift vp his eyes, he sawe a wayfairing man in the streetes of the citie: then this olde man sayde, Whither goest thou, and whence camest thou?
Je granmoun lan al tonbe sou vwayajè yo ki te sou plas la. Li di moun Levi a konsa: -Kote ou prale? Kote ou soti?
18 And hee answered him, Wee came from Beth-lehem Iudah, vnto the side of Mout Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem Iudah, and go now to the house of the Lord: and no man receiueth mee to house,
Moun Levi a reponn li: -Nou soti lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida, n'ap vwayaje, nou pral byen lwen nan fon mòn Efrayim yo. Se la mwen rete. Mwen te desann ale Betleyèm, men koulye a m'ap tounen lakay mwen. Pesonn pa envite nou vin pase nwit lan lakay yo.
19 Although we haue straw and prouader for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmayde, and for the boy that is with thy seruant: we lacke nothing.
Nou gen manje ak zèb pou bourik nou, nou gen pen ak diven pou mwen, pou fanm kay mwen, ak pou domestik ki ak nou an. Nou pa manke anyen.
20 And the olde man sayde, Peace bee with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou finde with me: onely abide not in the streete al night.
Lè sa a granmoun lan di: -Pòt kay mwen louvri pou nou! Se mwen menm k'ap ba ou tou sa ou bezwen. Sèlman pa rete pase nwit lan la sou plas la.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
Se konsa li mennen yo lakay li, li bay bèt yo zèb. Mesyedam yo menm lave pye yo, epi yo manje, yo bwè.
22 And as they were making their hearts merie, beholde, the men of the citie, wicked men beset the house round about, and smote at the doore, and spake to this olde man the master of the house saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may knowe him.
Yo t'ap koze yonn ak lòt lè kèk mesye lavil la, yon bann vòryen, vin sènen kay la. Yo pran frape nan pòt la. Yo pale ak granmoun ki te mèt kay la, yo di l' konsa: -Fè nonm ki lakay ou a soti vin jwenn nou pou nou ka kouche avè l'.
23 And this man the master of ye house went out vnto the, and said vnto them, Nay my brethre, do not so wickedly, I pray you: seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villenie.
Mèt kay la soti al jwenn yo, li di yo konsa: -Non, mezanmi! Tanpri, pa fè vye bagay lèd sa a. Nonm lan se lakay mwen li ye. Pa vin fè bagay sal sa a.
24 Behold, here is my daughter, a virgine, and his concubine: them wil I bring out nowe, and humble them, and doe with them what seemeth you good: but to this man doe not this villenie.
Bon, gade! Mwen gen yon jenn pitit fi, li menm li gen yon fanm kay. Mwen pral fè yo soti vin jwenn nou. Nou mèt kouche ak yo. Nou mèt fè sa nou vle ak yo. Men, pa vin fè ankenn vye bagay derespektan ak nonm lan.
25 But the men woulde not hearken to him: therefore ye man tooke his concubine, and brought her out vnto them: and they knewe her and abused her all the night vnto the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her goe.
Men, mesye yo pa t' vle koute l'. Lè sa a, moun Levi a pran fanm kay li a, li fè l' soti al jwenn yo deyò a. Tout mesye yo kouche avè l', yo fè tout kalite bagay avè l' pandan tout nwit lan. Solèy t'apral leve lè yo kite l'.
26 So the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell downe at the doore of the mans house where her Lord was, till the light day.
Lè bajou kase, fanm lan trennen jouk li rive devan papòt kay kote mari l' te ye a. Li rete atè a jouk solèy fin leve.
27 And her lorde arose in the morning, and opened the doores of the house, and went out to goe his way, and beholde, the woman his concubine was dead at the doore of the house and her handes lay vpon the thresholde.
Nan maten, mari a leve, li louvri pòt pou l' soti. Li fè sa pou l' al fè wout li, li wè fanm kay li a blayi atè a devan kay la, ak de men l' yo lonje sou papòt la.
28 And hee said vnto her, Vp and let vs goe: but shee answered not. Then he tooke her vp vpon the asse, and the man rose vp, and went vnto his place.
Li di: -Leve non! Ann ale! Men, fanm lan pa reponn li. Li pran kadav la, li mete l' detravè sou bourik li, epi li pati, l' al lakay li.
29 And whe he was come to his house, he took a knife, and laid hand on his concubine, and deuided her in pieces with her bones into twelue parts, and sent her through all quarters of Israel.
Lè l' rive lakay li, li pran yon kouto, li koupe kadav fanm kay li a fè douz moso, epi li voye yon moso nan chak branch fanmi peyi Izrayèl la.
30 And all that saw it, said, There was no such thing done or seene since the time that the children of Israel came vp from the lande of Egypt vnto this day: consider the matter, consult and giue sentence.
Chak moun ki te wè sa di konsa: -Nou pa janm wè bagay konsa! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nan mitan nou depi lè pèp Izrayèl la kite peyi Lejip rive jounen jòdi a. Annou kalkile byen kisa nou pral fè pou sa. Sa nou di nan sa?
