< 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.
Hagi Israeli vahe'mofo kinima omani'nea knafina mago Livae nagapinti nera Efraemi agona kokampi mani'ne. Hagi ana ne'mo'a mago kna Juda mopafi vuno, Betlehemu kumateti nampa 2ara a'tampi ome avreno e'ne.
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.
Hianagi ana a'mo'a mago'a vene'nene savari huteno, nevena atreno kuma'arega 4'a ika umani'ne.
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.
Ana'ma higeno'a neve'a nenaro arimpa omeri fru huno avreno enaku eri'za ne'ane, tare donki afu'ane nevreno vu'ne. Hagi ana kumate'ma uhanatigeno'a, ana ne'mofo nenaro'a avreno nefa nonte vigeno, nefa'a tusi muse nehuno avrente'ne.
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.
Hagi ana ne'mofo nenemo'a osi'a manigenka vuo higeno, ana ne'mo'a nenemo nompina ne'zane tinena neneno 3'a kenage manino maseno hu'ne.
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.”
Hagi namba 4 knarera nanterame otino noma'arega vunaku keonke'zana retro hu'ne. Hianagi nenemo'a huno, Bretia netenka vugahane.
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.”
Anagema nenemo'a higeno'a ana netremokea ete manike ne'zane tinena ne'na'e. Ana ne'zama nenakeno'a nenemo'a otiazamo amanage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki mago kenage'ene maseneta ne'zana neneta musena huteta vi'o.
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Hianagi Livae ne'mo'a vunaku keonke'zama'a enerino otigeno, nenemo'a tutu huno, Mago kenagera masetenka vuo, higeno mase'ne.
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.
Hagi maseno namba 5fu knarera nanterame otino vunaku retrotra higeno, nenemo'a otiazamo amanage hu'ne, ne'zana krenka nenenka mani'negeno kinagasena vuo, huno higeke ete mago knane mani'neke ne'zana kreke ne'na'e.
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.”
Hagi ana'ma hute'za agrama, nenaro'ma eri'za ne'ama hu'za vunaku tro hu'za oti'zageno, ana a'mofo nefa'a amanage hu'ne, Keho, hago kinagaseanki, meni kenage'enena maseta musena huteta, okina nanterame otita vugahaze.
10 But the man wouldn’t 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.
Hianagi ana ne'mo'a ru'enema masezankura avesra nehuno, donki afutrema'amofo agumpi mani'noma vu'zana retro hunenteno, nenaronena nevreno Jebusi kumakura menina e'i Jerusalemie nehazankino ana kantega vu'ne.
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.”
Hagi Jebusi kumate'ma azageno'a kinagasegeno, eri'za ne'amo'a amanage hu'ne. Jebusi vahe ran kumapi umasenune.
12 His master said to him, “We won’t enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
Anagema higeno'a kva'amo'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe kumapina Israeli vahe'ma omani'nesia kumapina uomasegosunanki, nevuta Gibea uhanatigahune.
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.”
Anage nehuno ana nehaza nera amanage huno asami'ne. Enketa ko nevuta Gibea kumatero Rama kumatero umasamneno.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
E'i anage nehu'za vuvava hu'za Benzameni naga'mofo mopafi Gibea kuma tava'onte uhanati'zageno zagemo'a uramige'za,
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.
ana kumapi masenaku kuma amu'nompi umani'nazanagi, mago vahe'mo'a zamavare nompina ontege'za mani'nazageno,
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.
mago ranafamo hoza'aregatira kinaga e'ne. Ana nera Efraemi agona kokampinti ne' Benzameni naga'ene Gibea kumate zoka emani'nea nere.
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?”
Hagi ana ranafa ne'mo'ma ne-eno'ma eme kesaga huno keama ana naga'ma kuma amu'nompima mani'nazageno'a anage huno zamantahige'ne, Igati e'neta iga vunaku emani'naze?
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 Yahweh’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.
Higeno ana ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Efraemi agona kokampi kumanirega vunaku Juda kaziga Betlehemu kumateti eta emani'nonanagi, vahe'mo'za nozamifina tavreontazageta mani'none.
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.”
Hagi donkitimofo ne'zane, nagrama nesua wainine bretine, a'nimofo ne'zane eri'za vahe'nimofo ne'zanena eri'nonankita mago zankura upara osu'none.
20 The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but don’t sleep in the street.”
Anage'ma hazageno'a ana ranafa ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, knarekita nagri nontega vanage'na maka'mota kegava huramantegahue. Hianagi amafina omasegahaze.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Anage nehuno zamavareno noma'afi vuno donkizmimofo ne'zana nezamige'za zamagra zamaga ome sese hute'za ne'zane tinena ne'naze.
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!”
Hagi ne'zama nene'za musema nehazageno'a, ana kumapi'ma hazenkema nehaza vene'nemo'za anama mani'naza nona eme avazagigagiza kafantera vagare vagare hu'za nemasagiza, ana ranafagura amanage hu'naze, E'ima nonka'afima avrente'nana nera avreramigeta monko zana huntamneno.
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly.
Hagi ana ranafamo'a atiramiazamo amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nafuheta, amanahu kefo avu'ava zana osiho. Na'ankure ama ne'mo'a ko noniafi emani'ne.
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 don’t do any such folly.”
Hagi keho, vene omase mofani'ane ana ne'mofo a'enena ama mani'na'anki zanavreta vuta nazano huzanante'naku'ma hanaza zana ome huznanteho. Hianagi ama ne'mofona kefo avu'avara huonteho.
25 But the men wouldn’t 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.
Hianagi ana vene'neramimo'za ke'a ontahizageno, Livae ne'mo'a nenarona kaha anagino retufezamige'za ana vene'nemo'za ana ara monkozana hunte'za azeri haviza hu'za vano nehazageno kotige'za atrazageno e'ne.
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.
Hagi ana a'mo'a eazamo neve'ma mase'nea nomofo kahante eme traka huno mase'negeno rumasa hu'ne.
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.
Hagi neve'ma vunaku'ma nanterama otino'ma kafama anagiana nenaro'a, kaha tra zafare azeriteno mase'negeno negeno anage hu'ne,
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.
otigeta havamneno. Hianagi ana a'mo'a kea osigeno donki afu'amofo agumpi avufga'a erinteno noma'arega vu'ne.
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.
Hagi ana ne'mo'ma noma'arema uhanatino'a, kazi erino ana ara 12fu'afi taga huteno, 12fu'a Israeli naga'nofi'ma mani'nazarega mago mago huno ana a'mofo avufga atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.
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.”
Hagi ana zama kaza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Isipiti'ma e'nona knareti'ma eno ama knare'ma ehanatiana Israeli vahe'mota amanahu kefo hazenkezana onke'nonaza fore hianki, ama ana zankura na'ane huta tamagesa antahize?
