Књига о судијама 19
1 И у то време, кад не беше цара у Израиљу, беше један Левит који живљаше као дошљак крај горе Јефремове, и узе иночу из Витлејема Јудиног.
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 А иноча његова чињаше прељубу код њега, па отиде од њега кући оца свог у Витлејем Јудин, и оста онде четири месеца.
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 А муж њен уста и отиде за њом да јој лепо говори и да је доведе натраг, имајући са собом момка свог, и два магарца; и она га уведе у кућу оца свог, и кад га виде отац њен обрадова се доласку његовом.
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 И устави га таст његов, отац младичин, и оста код њега три дана, и онде јеђаху и пијаху и ноћиваху.
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 А четврти дан кад усташе рано, уста и он да иде; али отац младичин рече зету свом: Поткрепи срце своје залогајем хлеба, па онда идите.
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 И тако седоше и седоше обојица заједно и напише се; па рече отац младичин мужу: Хајде остани још ноћас, и буди весео.
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 Али човек уста да иде; али таст његов навали на њ, те опет ноћи онде.
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
8 Потом урани петог дана да иде; и рече му отац младичин: Поткрепи срце своје. И једући заједно забавише се докле и дан наже.
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 Тада уста човек да иде, он и иноча му и момак; а таст његов, отац младичин, рече му: Ето, дан је већ нагао, вече је, преноћите овде; ето доцкан је, преноћи овде, и буди весео, па сутра ураните на пут, и иди к свом шатору.
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 Али човек не хте ноћити; него уста и пође; и дође до Јевуса, а то је Јерусалим, и с њим два магарца натоварена и иноча његова.
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 А кад беху близу Јевуса, дан беше нагао врло, па рече слуга господару свом: Хајде брже да се свратимо у тај град Јевус, и ту да ноћимо.
[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 А господар му рече: Нећемо свртати у туђ град, који није синова Израиљевих, него ћемо ићи до Гаваје.
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 Још рече момку свом: Хајде брже да стигнемо у које од тих места и да ноћимо у Гаваји или у Рами.
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 И минуше онуда и отидоше; и сунце их зађе близу Гаваје Венијаминове.
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 И окретоше онамо да отиду и преноће у Гаваји, и кад уђе, седе на улици градској; и не би никога да их прими у кућу да преноће.
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 И гле, један старац враћаше се с посла свог из поља увече, а беше из горе Јефремове и живљаше као дошљак у Гаваји; а људи оног места беху синови Венијаминови.
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 И он подигавши очи своје угледа оног човека путника на улици градској; и рече му старац: Куда идеш? И откуда идеш?
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 А он му одговори: Идемо до Витлејема Јудиног до на крај горе Јефремове; оданде сам, па сам ишао до Витлејема Јудиног, а сада идем к дому Господњем и нема никога да ме прими у кућу.
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 А имамо и сламе и пиће за магарце своје, и хлеба и вина за се и за слушкињу твоју и за момка који је са слугом твојим имамо свега доста.
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 А старац му рече: Буди миран; шта ти год недостаје, ја ћу се старати за то; само немој ноћити на улици.
And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; howsoever [let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.
21 И уведе га у своју кућу, и положи магарцима; потом опраше ноге, и једоше и пише.
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 А кад се развеселише, гле, људи оног града, безаконици, опколише кућу, и стадоше лупати у врата, и рекоше старцу, господару од куће, говорећи: Изведи тог човека што је ушао у твоју кућу, да га познамо.
[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 И изашав к њима онај човек, господар од куће, рече им: Не, браћо, не чините зло; кад је човек ушао у моју кућу, не чините то безумље.
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 Ево кћи моја девојка и иноча његова, њих ћу вам извести, па њих осрамотите и чините с њима шта вам је воља, само човеку овом не чините то безумље.
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 Али га не хтеше послушати они људи; тада онај човек узе иночу своју и изведе је напоље к њима, и они је познаше, и злоставише је целу ноћ до зоре, и пустише је кад зора забеле.
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 И дошавши жена у зору паде код врата од куће оног човека где беше господар њен, и лежа докле се не расвану.
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 А господар њен уста ујутру, и кад отвори врата и изађе да иде својим путем, а то жена иноча његова лежаше на вратима кућним, и руке јој на прагу.
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 И рече јој: Устани да идемо. Али не би одговора; тада је метну на магарца, и уставши човек пође у место своје,
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 И дошав кући својој узе мач, и узе иночу своју и исече је с костима на дванаест комада и разасла у све крајеве Израиљеве.
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 И ко год виде говораше: Није се учинило нити се видело такво шта откад изиђоше синови Израиљеви из Мисира до данас. Промислите о том и већајте и говорите.
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].
