داوران 19
| و در آن ایام که پادشاهی در اسرائیل نبود، مرد لاوی در پشت کوهستان افرایم ساکن بود، و کنیزی از بیت لحم یهودا ازبرای خود گرفته بود. | ۱ 1 |
At that time the Israeli people had no king. There was a man from the tribe of Levi who lived in a remote place in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lives. He had previously taken as a wife a woman who was a slave. She was from Bethlehem, in the area where the tribe of Judah lives.
| و کنیزش بر او زنا کرده، ازنزد او به خانه پدرش در بیت لحم یهودا رفت، ودر آنجا مدت چهار ماه بماند. | ۲ 2 |
But she started to sleep with other men also. Then she left him and returned to her father’s house in Bethlehem. She stayed there for four months.
| و شوهرش برخاسته، از عقب او رفت تا دلش را برگردانیده، پیش خود باز آورد، و غلامی با دو الاغ همراه اوبود، و آن زن او را به خانه پدر خود برد. و چون پدر کنیز او را دید، از ملاقاتش شاد شد. | ۳ 3 |
Then her husband took his servant and two donkeys and went to Bethlehem. He went to ask her to come back to live with him again. When he arrived at her father’s house, she invited him to come in. Her father was happy to see him.
| و پدرزنش، یعنی پدر کنیز او را نگاه داشت. پس سه روز نزد وی توقف نمود و اکل و شرب نموده، آنجا بسر بردند. | ۴ 4 |
The woman’s father asked him to stay. So he stayed there for three days. During that time he ate and drank and slept there.
| و در روز چهارم چون صبح زود بیدار شدند او برخاست تا روانه شود، اما پدرکنیز به داماد خود گفت که دل خود را به لقمه‌ای نان تقویت ده، و بعد از آن روانه شوید. | ۵ 5 |
On the fourth day, they all got up early in the morning. The man from the tribe of Levi was preparing to leave, but the woman’s father said to him, “Eat something before you go.”
| پس هردو با هم نشسته، خوردند و نوشیدند. و پدر کنیزبه آن مرد گفت: «موافقت کرده، امشب را بمان ودلت شاد باشد.» | ۶ 6 |
So the two men sat down to eat and drink together. Then the woman’s father said to him, “Please stay another night. Relax/Rest and have a joyful time.”
| و چون آن مرد برخاست تا روانه شود، پدرزنش او را الحاح نمود و شب دیگر در آنجا ماند. | ۷ 7 |
The man from the tribe of Levi wanted to leave, but the woman’s father requested him to stay one more night. So he stayed again that night.
| و در روز پنجم صبح زود برخاست تا روانه شود، پدر کنیز گفت: «دل خود را تقویت نما و تازوال روز تاخیر نمایید.» و ایشان هردو خوردند. | ۸ 8 |
On the fifth day, the man got up early and prepared to leave. But the woman’s father said to him again, “Have something to eat. Wait until this afternoon, [and then leave].” So the two men ate together.
| و چون آن شخص با کنیز و غلام خود برخاست تا روانه شود، پدر زنش یعنی پدر کنیز او را گفت: «الان روز نزدیک به غروب می‌شود، شب رابمانید اینک روز تمام می‌شود، در اینجا شب رابمان و دلت شاد باشد و فردا بامدادان روانه خواهید شد و به خیمه خود خواهی رسید.» | ۹ 9 |
In the afternoon, when the man from the tribe of Levi and his slave wife and his servant got up to leave, the woman’s father said, “It will soon be dark. The day is almost over. Stay here tonight and have a good/joyful time. Tomorrow morning you can get up early and leave for your home.”
| اما آن مرد قبول نکرد که شب را بماند، پس برخاسته، روانه شد و به مقابل یبوس که اورشلیم باشد، رسید، و دو الاغ پالان شده و کنیزش همراه وی بود. | ۱۰ 10 |
But the man from the tribe of Levi did not want to stay for another night. He put saddles on his two donkeys, and started to go with his slave wife [and his servant] toward Jebus [city], which is [now named] Jerusalem.
| و چون ایشان نزد یبوس رسیدند، نزدیک به غروب بود. غلام به آقای خود گفت: «بیا و به این شهر یبوسیان برگشته، شب را در آن بسر بریم.» | ۱۱ 11 |
Late in the afternoon, they came near to Jebus. The servant said to his master, “We should stop in this city where the Jebus people-group live, and stay here tonight.”
| آقایش وی را گفت: «به شهر غریب که احدی از بنی‌اسرائیل در آن نباشدبرنمی گردیم بلکه به جبعه بگذریم.» | ۱۲ 12 |
But his master said, “No, it would not be good for us to stay here where foreign people live. There are no Israeli people here. We will go on to Gibeah [city].”
| و به غلام خود گفت: «بیا و به یکی از این‌جاها، یعنی به جبعه یا رامه نزدیک بشویم و در آن شب رابمانیم.» | ۱۳ 13 |
He said to his servant, “Let’s go. It is not far to Gibeah. We can go there, or we can go a bit further to Ramah. We can stay in one of those two cities tonight.”
| پس از آنجا گذشته، برفتند و نزد جبعه که از آن بنیامین است، آفتاب بر ایشان غروب کرد. | ۱۴ 14 |
So they continued walking. When they came near Gibeah, where people from the tribe of Benjamin live, the sun was setting.
| پس به آن طرف برگشتند تا به جبعه داخل شده، شب را در آن بسر برند. و او درآمد در کوچه شهر نشست، اما کسی نبود که ایشان را به خانه خود ببرد و منزل دهد. | ۱۵ 15 |
They stopped to stay there that night. They went to the public square of that city and sat down. But no one [who passed by] invited them to stay in their house for that night.
| و اینک مردی پیر در شب از کار خود ازمزرعه می‌آمد، و این شخص از کوهستان افرایم بوده، در جبعه ماوا گزیده بود، اما مردمان آن مکان بنیامینی بودند. | ۱۶ 16 |
Finally, in the evening, an old man came by. He had been working in the fields. He was from the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim, but at that time he was living in Gibeah.
| و او نظر انداخته، شخص مسافری را در کوچه شهر دید، و آن مرد پیر گفت: «کجا می‌روی و از کجا می‌آیی؟» | ۱۷ 17 |
He realized that the man from the tribe of Levi was only traveling and did not have a home in that city. So he asked the man, “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
| او وی را گفت: «ما از بیت لحم یهودا به آن طرف کوهستان افرایم می‌رویم، زیرا از آنجا هستم و به بیت لحم یهودا رفته بودم، و الان عازم خانه خداوند هستم، و هیچ‌کس مرا به خانه خود نمی پذیرد، | ۱۸ 18 |
He replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem to my home in the hilly area where people of the tribe of Ephraim live. I went from there to Bethlehem, but now we are going to [Shiloh] where Yahweh’s Sacred tent (OR, my house) is. No one here has invited us to stay in their house tonight.
| و نیزکاه و علف به جهت الاغهای ما هست، و نان وشراب هم برای من و کنیز تو و غلامی که همراه بندگانت است، می‌باشد و احتیاج به چیزی نیست.» | ۱۹ 19 |
We have straw and food for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me and the young woman and my servant. We do not need anything else.”
| آن مرد پیر گفت: «سلامتی بر تو باد، تمامی حاجات تو بر من است، اما شب را درکوچه بسر مبر.» | ۲۰ 20 |
The old man said, “I wish that things will go well for you, but I would like to provide what you need. Do not stay here in the square tonight.”
| پس او را به خانه خود برده، به الاغها خوراک داد و پایهای خود را شسته، خوردند و نوشیدند. | ۲۱ 21 |
Then the old man took them to his house. He gave food to the donkeys. He [gave water to the man and the woman and the servant to] wash their feet. And he gave them something to eat and drink.
| و چون دلهای خود را شاد می‌کردند، اینک مردمان شهر، یعنی بعضی اشخاص بنی بلیعال خانه را احاطه کردند، و در را زده، به آن مرد پیرصاحب‌خانه خطاب کرده، گفتند: «آن مرد را که به خانه تو داخل شده است بیرون بیاور تا او رابشناسیم.» | ۲۲ 22 |
While they were having a good/joyful time together, some wicked men from that city surrounded the house and started to bang on the door. They shouted to the old man, “Bring out to us the man who has come to your house. We want to have sex with him.”
| و آن مرد صاحب‌خانه نزد ایشان بیرون آمده، به ایشان گفت: «نی‌ای برادرانم شرارت مورزید، چونکه این مرد به خانه من داخل شده است، این عمل زشت را منمایید. | ۲۳ 23 |
The old man went outside and said to them, “Friends, I will not do that. That would be a very evil thing. This man is a guest in my house. You should not do such a terrible/disgraceful/shameful thing!
| اینک دختر باکره من و کنیز این مرد، ایشان را نزد شمابیرون می‌آورم. ایشان را ذلیل ساخته، آنچه درنظر شما پسند آید به ایشان بکنید. لیکن با این مرداین کار زشت را مکنید.» | ۲۴ 24 |
Look, my daughter is here. She is [still] a virgin. And this man’s slave wife is here. I will bring them out to you now. You may do to them whatever you wish, but do not do such a terrible/disgraceful/shameful thing to this young man!”
| اما آن مردمان نخواستند که او را بشنوند. پس آن شخص کنیزخود را گرفته، نزد ایشان بیرون آورد و او راشناختند و تمامی شب تا صبح او را بی‌عصمت می‌کردند، و در طلوع فجر او را رها کردند. | ۲۵ 25 |
But the men did not pay attention to what he said. So the man from the tribe of Levi took his slave wife and sent her to them, outside the house. They raped [EUP] her and abused her all night. Then at dawn, they allowed her to go.
| وآن زن در سپیده صبح آمده، به در خانه آن شخص که آقایش در آن بود، افتاد تا روشن شد. | ۲۶ 26 |
She returned to the old man’s house, where her husband was staying, but she fell down at the doorway and lay there all night.
| و در وقت صبح آقایش برخاسته، بیرون آمد تا به راه خود برود و اینک کنیزش نزد در خانه افتاده، و دستهایش بر آستانه بود. | ۲۷ 27 |
In the morning, when the man from the tribe of Levi got up, he went outside of the house to continue his journey. He saw his slave wife lying there at the doorway of the house. Her hands were on the doorsill.
| و او وی راگفت: «برخیز تا برویم.» اما کسی جواب نداد، پس آن مرد او را بر الاغ خود گذاشت و برخاسته، به مکان خود رفت. | ۲۸ 28 |
He said to her, “Get up! Let’s go!” But she did not answer, [because she had died]. He put her body on the donkey and traveled to his home.
| و چون به خانه خود رسید، کاردی برداشت و کنیز خود را گرفته، اعضای اورا به دوازده قطعه تقسیم کرد، و آنها را در تمامی حدود اسرائیل فرستاد. | ۲۹ 29 |
When he arrived home, he took a knife and cut the body of the slave woman into twelve pieces. Then he sent one piece to each area of Israel, [along with a message telling what had happened].
| و هر‌که این را دیدگفت: «از روزی که بنی‌اسرائیل از مصر بیرون آمده‌اند تا امروز عمل مثل این کرده و دیده ونشده است. پس در آن تامل کنید و مشورت کرده، حکم نمایید.» | ۳۰ 30 |
Everyone who saw a piece of the body and the message said, “Nothing like this has ever happened before. Not since our ancestors left Egypt [have we heard of such a terrible thing]. We need to think carefully about it. Someone should decide what we should do.”
