1 Aconteceu tambem n'aquelles dias, em que não havia rei em Israel que, houve um homem levita, que peregrinando aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, tomou para si uma mulher concubina, de Beth-lehem de Judah.
AND it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.
2 Porém a sua concubina fornicou contra elle, e foi-se d'elle para casa de seu pae, a Beth-lehem de Judah, e esteve ali alguns dias, a saber, quatro mezes.
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole months.
3 E seu marido se levantou, e partiu após d'ella, para lhe fallar conforme ao seu coração, e para tornar a trazel-a: e o seu moço e um par de jumentos iam com elle: e ella o levou a casa de seu pae, e, vendo-o o pae da moça, alegrou-se ao encontrar-se com elle
And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 E seu sogro, o pae da moça, o deteve, e ficou com elle tres dias: e comeram e beberam, e passaram ali a noite.
And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
5 E succedeu que ao quarto dia pela manhã madrugaram, e elle levantou-se para partir: então o pae da moça disse a seu genro: Conforta o teu coração com um bocado de pão, e depois partireis.
And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
6 Assentaram-se pois, e comeram ambos juntos, e beberam; e disse o pae da moça ao homem: Peço-te que ainda esta noite queiras passal-a aqui, e alegre-se o teu coração.
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
7 Porém o homem levantou-se para partir: mas seu sogro o constrangeu a tornar a passar ali a noite.
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
8 E, madrugando ao quinto dia pela manhã para partir, disse o pae da moça: Ora conforta o teu coração. E detiveram-se até já declinar o dia: e ambos juntos comeram.
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
9 Então o homem levantou-se para partir, elle, e a sua concubina, e o seu moço: e disse-lhe seu sogro, o pae da moça: Eis que já o dia se abaixa, e já a tarde vem entrando, peço-te que aqui passes a noite; eis que já o dia vae acabando, passa aqui a noite, e que o teu coração se alegre; e ámanhã de madrugada levantae-vos a caminhar, e vae-te para a tua tenda.
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
10 Porém o homem não quiz ali passar a noite, mas levantou-se, e partiu, e veiu até defronte de Jebus (que é Jerusalem), e com elle o par de jumentos albardados, como tambem a sua concubina.
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
11 Estando pois já perto de Jebus, e tendo-se já declinado muito o dia, disse o moço a seu senhor: Caminhae agora, e retiremo-nos a esta cidade dos jebuseos, e passemos ali a noite.
And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
12 Porém disse-lhe seu senhor: Não nos retiraremos a nenhuma cidade estranha, que não seja dos filhos de Israel: mas passaremos até Gibeah.
And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
13 Disse mais a seu moço; Caminha, e cheguemos a um d'aquelles logares, e passemos em Gibeah ou em Ramah.
And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
14 Passaram pois adiante, e caminharam, e o sol se lhes poz junto a Gibeah, que é cidade de Benjamin.
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
15 E retiraram-se para lá, para entrarem a passar a noite em Gibeah; e, entrando elle, assentou-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os recolhesse em casa para ali passarem a noite.
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
16 E eis que um homem velho vinha á tarde do seu trabalho do campo; e era este homem da montanha de Ephraim, mas peregrinava em Gibeah: eram porém os homens d'este logar filhos de Benjamin.
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Levantando elle pois os olhos, viu a este passageiro na praça da cidade, e disse o velho: Para onde vaes, e d'onde vens?
And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
18 E elle lhe disse: Passamos de Beth-lehem de Judah até aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, d'onde sou; porquanto fui a Beth-lehem de Judah: porém agora vou á casa do Senhor; e ninguem ha que me recolha em casa,
And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am now going to the house of the Lord; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
19 Ainda que ha palha e pasto para os nossos jumentos, e tambem pão e vinho ha para mim, e para a tua serva, e para o moço que vem com os teus servos: de coisa nenhuma ha falta.
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.
20 Então disse o velho: Paz seja comtigo; tudo quanto te faltar fique ao meu cargo: tão sómente não passes a noite na praça.
And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
21 E trouxe-o a sua casa, e deu pasto aos jumentos: e, lavando-se os pés, comeram e beberam.
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 Estando elles alegrando o seu coração, eis que os homens d'aquella cidade (homens que eram filhos de Belial) cercaram a casa, batendo á porta; e fallaram ao velho, senhor da casa, dizendo: Tira para fóra o homem que entrou em tua casa, para que o conheçamos.
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
23 E o homem, senhor da casa, saiu a elles, e disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, ora não façaes similhante mal: já que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façaes tal loucura.
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
24 Eis que a minha filha virgem e a concubina d'elle vol-as tirarei fóra; humilhae-as a ellas, e fazei d'ellas o que parecer bem aos vossos olhos; porém a este homem não façaes loucura similhante.
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
25 Porém aquelles homens não o quizeram ouvir: então aquelle homem pegou da sua concubina, e lh'a tirou para fóra: e elles a conheceram e abusaram d'ella toda a noite até pela manhã, e, subindo a alva, a deixaram.
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
26 E ao romper da manhã veiu a mulher, e caiu á porta da casa d'aquelle homem, onde estava seu senhor, e ficou ali até que se fez claro.
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.
27 E, levantando-se seu senhor pela manhã, e abrindo as portas da casa, e saindo a seguir o seu caminho, eis que a mulher, sua concubina, jazia á porta da casa, com as mãos sobre o limiar.
And 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 was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
28 E elle lhe disse: Levanta-te, e vamo-nos, porém não respondeu; então pôl-a sobre o jumento, e levantou-se o homem, e foi-se para o seu logar.
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
29 Chegando pois á sua casa, tomou um cutelo, e pegou na sua concubina, e a despedaçou com os seus ossos em doze partes: e enviou-as por todos os termos de Israel.
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
30 E succedeu que cada um que tal via dizia: Nunca tal se fez, nem se viu desde o dia em que os filhos d'Israel subiram da terra do Egypto, até ao dia d'hoje: ponderae isto no coração, considerae, e fallae.
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
