< Judges 19 >

1 It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
Pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, ko ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, da je bil tam nek Lévijevec, [ki je] začasno prebival na pobočju gore Efrájim, ki si je vzel priležnico iz Judovega Betlehema.
2 His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about four months.
Njegova priležnica je zoper njega igrala vlačugo in odšla proč od njega, v hišo svojega očeta v Judovem Betlehemu in bila tam cele štiri mesece.
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. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Njen soprog je vstal in odšel za njo, da ji prijateljsko govori in da jo ponovno privede. S seboj je imel svojega služabnika in nekaj oslov in privedla ga je v hišo svojega očeta. Ko ga je oče od gospodične zagledal, se je razveselil, da ga je srečal.
4 His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
Njegov tast, oče od gospodične, ga je zadržal in z njimi je ostal tri dni. Tako so jedli in pili ter tam prenočevali.
5 It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
Pripetilo se je na četrti dan, ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, da se je dvignil, da odide. Oče od gospodične pa je svojemu zetu rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce z grižljajem kruha in potem pojdi svojo pot.«
6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
Oba skupaj sta se usedla, jedla in pila, kajti oče od gospodične je možu rekel: »Privoli, prosim te in ostani vso noč in naj bo tvoje srce veselo.«
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, mu je tast prigovarjal, zato je tam ponovno prenočil.
8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
Vstal je zgodaj zjutraj, peti dan, da odide in oče od gospodične je rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce, prosim te.« Ostala sta do popoldneva in oba sta jedla.
9 When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, on, njegova priležnica in njegov služabnik, mu je tast, oče od gospodične, rekel: »Glej, sedaj se dan približuje večeru. Prosim te, ostani vso noč. Glej, dan gre h koncu, prenočuj tukaj, da bo tvoje srce lahko veselo in naslednji dan zgodaj pojdi na svojo pot, da boš lahko šel domov.«
10 But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
Toda mož to noč ni hotel ostati, temveč je vstal, odšel in prišel nasproti Jebúsa, ki je Jeruzalem in tam sta bila z njim dva osedlana osla in tudi njegova priležnica je bila z njim.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
In ko so bili pri Jebúsu, je bil dan že davno porabljen in služabnik je rekel svojemu gospodarju: »Pridi, prosim te in obrniva se v to mesto Jebusejcev in prenočiva v njem.«
12 His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
Njegov gospodar pa mu je rekel: »Ne bomo zavili vstran, sèm v to mesto tujca, ki ni izmed Izraelovih otrok; prešli bomo do Gíbee.«
13 He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
Svojemu služabniku je rekel: »Pridi in približajmo se enemu izmed teh mest, da vso noč prenočimo v Gíbei ali v Rami.«
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Šli so naprej svojo pot in sonce je zašlo nad njimi, ko so bili pri Gíbei, ki pripada Benjaminu.
15 They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
Obrnili so se tja, da vstopijo in prenočijo v Gíbei. Ko so vstopili, se je usedel na mestno ulico, kajti tam ni bilo nobenega človeka, ki bi jih vzel v svojo hišo, da prenočijo.
16 Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Glej, zvečer je prišel starec od svojega dela zunaj na polju, ki je bil prav tako z gore Efrájim in je začasno prebival v Gíbei. Toda možje kraja so bili Benjaminovci.
17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
Ko je povzdignil svoje oči, je na mestni ulici zagledal popotnika in starec je rekel: »Kam greš? In od kod prihajaš?«
18 He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
Ta mu je odgovoril: »Mi smo prešli iz Judovega Betlehema proti pobočju gore Efrájim. Od tam sem in odšel sem k Judovemu Betlehemu, toda sedaj grem h Gospodovi hiši. Tukaj pa ni nobenega moža, ki bi me sprejel v hišo.
19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
Vendar je tukaj tako slama in krma za naša osla in tukaj je kruh in vino zame in za mojo pomočnico in za mladeniča, ki je s tvojimi služabniki. Tukaj ni potrebe po nobeni stvari.«
20 And the old man said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
Starec je rekel: »Mir bodi s teboj. Kakorkoli, pusti vse svoje potrebe počivati na meni, samo ne prenočuj na ulici.«
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Tako ga je odvedel v svojo hišo in dal krmo k oslom. Umili so svoja stopala, jedli in pili.
22 As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city 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 may have sex with him."
Torej ko so razveseljevali svoja srca, glej, so možje iz mesta, neki Beliálovi sinovi, naokoli obkrožili hišo in udarjali na vrata ter hišnemu gospodarju, starcu, spregovorili, rekoč: »Privedi moškega, ki je prišel v tvojo hišo, da ga lahko spoznamo.«
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 disgraceful thing.
Mož, hišni gospodar, je odšel ven k njim ter jim rekel: »Ne, moji bratje, ne, prosim vas, ne storite tako zlobno, glede na to, da je ta mož prišel v mojo hišo, ne storite te neumnosti.
24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
Glejte, tukaj je moja hči, devica in njegova priležnica. Njiju bom torej privedel ven in ju ponižajte ter z njima storite kar se vam zdi dobro, toda temu možu ne storite tako ogabne stvari.«
25 But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
Toda možje mu niso hoteli prisluhniti. Tako je mož vzel svojo priležnico in jo privedel k njim. Spoznali so jo in jo zlorabljali vso noč do jutra. Ko pa se je dan začel svitati, so jo pustili oditi.
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
Potem je ob jutranjem svitanju ženska prišla in padla dol pri vratih moževe hiše, kjer je bil njen gospodar, dokler ni bilo svetlo.
27 Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
Njen gospodar je zjutraj vstal, odprl vrata hiše in odšel ven, da gre svojo pot. In glej, ženska, njegova priležnica, je bila zvrnjena dol pri hišnih vratih in njene roke so bile na pragu.
28 And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
Rekel ji je: »Vstani in pojdimo.« Toda ni se odzvala. Potem jo je mož vzel gor na osla in mož se je dvignil ter se spravil k svojemu kraju.
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.
Ko je prišel v svojo hišo, je vzel nož in ga položil na svojo priležnico in jo razdelil na dvanajst kosov, skupaj z njenimi kostmi in jo poslal po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah.
30 And it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
In bilo je tako, da so vsi, ki so to videli, rekli: »Takšnega dejanja ni bilo storjenega niti videnega od dneva, ko so Izraelovi otroci prišli gor iz egiptovske dežele, do današnjega dne. Preudarite o tem, sprejmite nasvet in govorite svojim umom.«
