Sog̒u 19
1 Un tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla. Un viens vīrs, Levits, piemita aiz Efraīma kalniem, tas sev ņēma lieku sievu no Jūda Bētlemes.
At that time Israel didn't have a king. A Levite who was living in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim married a concubine-wife from Bethlehem in Judah.
2 Bet viņa liekā sieva pie viņa būdama dzina maucību un nogāja no viņa sava tēva namā uz Bētlemi Judā, un tur sabija kādu laiku, četrus mēnešus.
But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father's house in Bethlehem. She was there for four months.
3 Tad viņas vīrs cēlās un gāja viņai pakaļ, ka tas mīlīgi ar viņu runātu un viņu vestu atpakaļ, un viņa puisis bija viņam līdz un pāris ēzeļu; un viņa to ieveda sava tēva namā, un kad tās sievietes tēvs viņu redzēja, tad viņš līksmojās viņam pretī (iedams).
Then her husband went after her, to talk kindly with her and bring her back home. With him went his servant and two donkeys. She took him to her father's house and when her father met him, he gladly welcomed him.
4 Un viņa tēvocis, tās sievietes tēvs, viņu paturēja, ka tas trīs dienas pie viņa palika, un tie ēda un dzēra un palika tur par nakti.
Her father pressed him to stay with them, so he remained for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there.
5 Un ceturtā dienā tie steidzās agri un cēlās iet projām. Tad tās sievietes tēvs sacīja uz savu znotu: stiprini savu sirdi ar kādu maizes kumosu, un tad jūs varat iet.
On the fourth day he and his concubine got up early in the morning and prepared to leave, but her father said to his son-in-law, “You'll feel better if you have something to eat before you go.”
6 Tad tie apsēdās un ēda abi kopā un dzēra, un tās sievietes tēvs sacīja uz to vīru: dari lūdzams tā un paliec par nakti, un lai tava sirds līksmojās.
So the two men sat down to eat and drink together. The father said to his son-in law, “Please agree to spend another night here, and you can enjoy yourself!”
7 Bet tas vīrs cēlās iet projām, un viņa tēvocis to ļoti turēja, ka tam bija jāgriežas atpakaļ un tur jāpaliek par nakti.
The man got up to leave, but his father-in-law pressed him to stay, so in the end he spent the night there.
8 Kad nu viņš piektā dienā no rīta taisījās aiziet, tad tās sievietes tēvs sacīja: stiprini jel savu sirdi; un tie kavējās, līdz kamēr vakars metās, un tie abi ēda kopā.
On the fifth day he got up early in the morning to leave. But his father-in-law said, “Eat before you go, then leave later this afternoon.” So they had a meal together.
9 Tad tas vīrs cēlās aiziet, viņš un viņa liekā sieva un viņa puisis. Bet viņa tēvocis, tās sievietes tēvs, uz viņu sacīja: redzi jel, šī diena jau līdz vakaram ir pavadīta, paliec jel par nakti; redzi, šī diena beidzās, paliec par nakti šeitan un lai tava sirds līksmojās, dodaties rīt agri uz savu ceļu un ej uz savu dzīvokli.
When he got up to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law told him, “Look it's late—it's already evening. Spend the night here. The day's almost over. Stay here the night and enjoy yourself, then tomorrow you can get up early and be on your way home.”
10 Bet tas vīrs negribēja par nakti palikt, un cēlās un aizgāja un nāca pret Jebuzu, tā ir Jeruzāleme, viņš un tas pāris apkrautu ēzeļu un viņa liekā sieva ar viņu.
But the man didn't want to spend another night, so he got up and left. He headed towards the town of Jebus (now called Jerusalem) with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
11 Kad nu tie pie Jebuzas bija, tad jau bija pavakars, un tas puisis sacīja uz savu kungu: nāc lūdzams un ieiesim šinī Jebusiešu pilsētā un paliksim tur par nakti.
As they approached Jebus the day was over, the servant said to his master, “Sir, why don't we stop here at this Jebusite town for the night?”
12 Bet viņa kungs uz viņu sacīja: mēs negribam griezties uz svešu pilsētu, kas nav no Israēla bērniem, bet gribam noiet līdz Ģibejai.
But his master replied, “No, we're not going to stop in this town where only foreigners live and no Israelites. We'll continue on to Gibeah.”
13 Tad viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: nāc, ka mēs uz vienu no šīm vietām tiekam, un Ģibejā vai Ramā par nakti paliekam.
Then he told his servant, “Come on, let's try and get to Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night somewhere there.”
14 Tā tie gāja tālāk un staigāja, un saule tiem nogāja it klātu pie Ģibejas, kas pieder Benjaminam.
So they carried on and reached Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin just as the sun was setting.
15 Un tie griezās uz turieni, ka nāktu un Ģibejā paliktu par nakti. Kad viņš nu iegāja, tad viņš apsēdās kādā pilsētas ielā, jo tur nebija neviena, kas tiem savā namā gribēja dot naktsmājas vietu.
They stopped in Gibeah to spend the night, and sat down in the town's main square, but no one invited them to come and stay.
16 Un redzi, viens vecs vīrs nāca vakarā no sava darba no tīruma, un tas vīrs arīdzan bija no Efraīma kalniem, bet piemita Ģibejā; bet tās vietas ļaudis bija Benjaminieši.
But later that evening an old man came by, returning from working in the fields. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, but was now living in Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin.
17 Kad tas vecais vīrs nu savas acis pacēla, tad viņš to ceļa vīru ieraudzīja pilsētas ielā un sacīja: uz kurieni tu ej? Un no kurienes tu nāc?
He looked over and noticed the traveler in the square and asked, “Where are you going and where have you come from?”
18 Un tas uz viņu sacīja: mēs no Jūda Bētlemes ejam aiz Efraīma kalniem, no kurienes es arī esmu, un es biju nogājis uz Jūda Bētlemi un es eju uz Tā Kunga namu, un neviena nav, kas man mājas vietu dod savā namā.
“We've come from Bethlehem in Judah and we're going to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim,” the man replied. “I'm from there and I went to Bethlehem, and now I'm going to the Lord's Temple. No one here has invited me to stay.
19 Un tomēr salmi un ēdamais mums priekš mūsu ēzeļiem ir, arī maize un vīns priekš manis un priekš tavas kalpones un priekš tā puiša, kas ir pie taviem kalpiem; mums nekādas lietas netrūkst.
There's straw and food for our donkeys, and we your servants have bread and wine—enough for me, the woman, and my servant. We have all we need.”
20 Tad tas vecais vīrs sacīja: esi ar mieru, viss, kas tev trūkst, ir pie manis, tikai nepaliec par nakti uz ielas.
“You are welcome to stay with me,” the man replied. “I can let you have everything you need. Just don't spend the night here in the square.”
21 Un viņš to veda savā namā un deva priekš tiem ēzeļiem ēdamo. Kad tie nu savas kājas bija mazgājuši, tad tie ēda un dzēra.
He took him home and fed the donkeys. The travelers washed their feet and then started to eat and drink.
22 Kad tie nu savu sirdi atspirdzināja, redzi, tad tās pilsētas vīri, bezdievīgi ļaudis, apstāja to namu un klaudzināja pie durvīm. Un tie sacīja uz to veco vīru, tā nama saimnieku: izved to vīru, kas nācis tavā namā, ka mēs to atzīstam.
While they were enjoying themselves, some depraved men from the town came and surrounded the house, and banged on the door, shouting to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to stay in your house so we can have sex with him.”
23 Un tas vīrs, tā nama saimnieks, pie tiem izgāja un uz tiem sacīja: ne tā, mani brāļi, nedariet lūdzami tādu grēku; kad nu šis vīrs manā namā nācis, nedariet šo trakumu.
The man who owned the house went outside and told them, “My brothers, don't act in such an evil way! This man is a guest in my house. Don't do something so disgusting!
24 Redzi, man ir viena meita, jaunava, un viņam lieka sieva, tās es jums gribu izvest, ka jūs tās piesmejat un tām darāt, kas jums patīk, bet pie šā vīra nedarāt tādu trakumu.
Look, here's my virgin daughter and the man's concubine. Let me bring them out and you can rape them and do whatever you want to them. But don't do something so disgusting to this man.”
25 Bet tie vīri to negribēja klausīt; tad tas vīrs sagrāba savu lieko sievu un to izveda pie viņiem ārā, un viņi to atzina un piesmēja cauru nakti līdz rītam un atlaida, kad gaisma metās.
But the men refused to listen, so the man grabbed his concubine and threw her outside to them. They raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and only discarded her at dawn.
26 Un šī sieva nāca ap rīta laiku un krita pie zemes priekš tā vīra nama durvīm, kur viņas kungs iekšā bija, (un tur gulēja) līdz pat gaismai.
As night turned into day she returned to the house where her master was staying and collapsed in front of the door as it got light.
27 Kad nu viņas kungs rītā cēlās un nama durvis atdarīja un izgāja, savu ceļu staigāt, redzi, tad viņa liekā sieva gulēja priekš nama durvīm un viņas rokas uz sliekšņa.
Her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house. He went out to continue his journey and there was his concubine, stretched out in the doorway of the house, with her hands holding onto the doorstep.
28 Un viņš uz to sacīja: celies, ejam projām, bet tā neatbildēja. Tad tas vīrs to ņēma uz savu ēzeli un cēlās un gāja uz savām mājām.
“Get up, let's go,” he told her, but there was no answer. Then the man lifted her onto his donkey and went home.
29 Kad nu viņš savā namā nāca, tad viņš ņēma nazi un sagrāba savu lieko sievu un to sakapāja ar viņas kauliem divpadsmit daļās un to sūtīja uz visām Israēla robežām.
When he got home he took a knife, and holding onto his concubine, cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent these pieces of her to every part of Israel.
30 Un ikviens, kas to redzēja, tas sacīja: tāda lieta, kā šī, nav notikusi nedz redzēta, kamēr Israēla bērni no Ēģiptes zemes izgājuši līdz šai dienai. Tad nu jūs ņemiet to vērā, dodiet padomu un runājiet.
Everyone who saw her said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen before, from the time the Israelites left Egypt up until now. You should think about what happened to her! Decide what to do! Speak up!”
