Bisisu 19
1 Amo esoha, Isala: ili da hina bagade hame galu. Lifai dunu afadafa da Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini esalu. E da Bedeleheme moilai, Yuda soge ganodini, amoga ea gidisedagi uda a: fini (amo da ea udadafa hame be ema gilisili golamusa: eno lai) amo hamomusa: lai.
There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:
2 Be amo uda da Lifai dunuma ougiba: le, hobea: i dagoi. E da ea eda ea diasu Bedeleheme moilai ganodini, amoga buhagili, oubi biyaduyale gala esalu.
And she left him and returned to her father’s house in Bethlehem, and abode with him four months.
3 Amalalu, Lifai dunu da e bu lamusa: dawa: i galu. E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola dougi aduna amo uda ea eda diasuga oule asi. Ea uda da eda diasu logo doasi amola ea eda da Lifai dunu hahawane aowai.
And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father’s house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy,
4 Eda da ema esaloma: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, e da eso udiana ouesalu. E amola ea uda da amo diasuga ha: i mai amola amogai gasi udiana golai.
And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly.
5 Eso biyadu amoga hahabedafa ela da nedigili, logoga masunusa: liligi momagei. Be uda ea eda da Lifai dunu ema amane sia: i, “Hidadea fonobahadi ha: i moma. Amo da dima gasa imunu. Fa: no masunu da defea.”
But on the fourth day arising early in the morning he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart.
6 Amaiba: le, amo dunu aduna da fili, ha: i mai amola waini hano mai. Amalalu, uda ea eda da ema amane sia: i, “Guiguda: hahawane golama!”
And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here today, and let us make merry together.
7 Lifai dunu da masunusa: wale gadoi. Be uda ea eda da ema ha: giwane esaloma: ne sia: beba: le, e da eno gasi amoga goegawi golai.
But he rising up began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him.
8 Golale, eso bi hahabedafa, e da masunusa: dawa: i galu. Be uda ea eda da amane sia: i, “Hidadea ha: i moma. Esomogoa agoane masunu da defea.” Amaiba: le, amo dunu aduna da ha: i mai.
But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together.
9 Lifai dunu amola ea gidisedagi uda amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da masusa: dawa: beba: le, eda da amane sia: i, “Daeya da gadenesa. Dilia gasimu galebe. Guiguda: hahawane golama. Hahabedafa dia diasuga masunu da defea.”
And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me today also, and spend the day in mirth, and tomorrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house.
His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine.
11 Be Lifai dunu da gasi eno amoga golamu higa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e, ea gidisedagi uda, ela hawa: hamosu dunu amola dougi aduna (fisu amo da: iya ligisibi ba: i) logoga asi. Ilia da Yibase (Yelusaleme) gadenene doaga: loba, gasi gadenene ba: i. Amaiba: le, hawa: hamosu dunu da amane sia: i, “Ninia da amo Yibase moilai bai bagade ganodini golamu da defea.”
And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.
His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa:
13 Be ea ouligisu da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu hame esalebe moilai bai bagade ganodini golamu da defea hame. Ninia da amo moilai baligili, Gibia o Lama moilaiga golamu.”
And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.
14 Amaiba: le, ilia da Yibase moilai bai bagade (Yelusaleme) baligili, Gibia moilai Bediamini fi ilia soge ganodini, amoga doaga: i. Amoha eso dabe ba: i.
So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in the tribe of Benjamin:
15 Ilia da logo fisili, diasuga golamusa: asi. Ilia da moilai dogoa sogebi amoga asili, be dunu da ili aowamusa: hame sia: i.
And they turned into it, to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge.
16 Ilia da amoga esaloba, dunu da: i da ea ifabi amoga hawa: hamonanu, ilima doaga: i. E da musa: Ifala: ime agolo soge amoga esalu. Be amoga mugululi, Gibia moilaiga misi esalu. (Eno dunu huluane amogawi esalu da Bediamini dunu).
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini.
17 Dunu da: i da Lifai dunu moilai dogoa sogebi amoga esalebe ba: beba: le, e amane sia: i, “Di da habidili misibala: ? Amola di da habidili masa: bela: ?”
And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou?
18 Lifai dunu da bu adole i, “Ninia da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge gadili asili, wali ninia da ninia diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge amoga buhagisa. Guiguda: dunu eno da ninima golama: ne sogebi hame olei.
He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof:
19 Ninia da dougi ea ha: i manu gala. Amola ninia da ha: i manu amola waini hano, na amola na gidisedagi uda amola na hawa: hamosu dunu manu defele gala. Be amo mae dawa: le, dunu da ninima golamu sogebi hame olei.”
We have straw and hay for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but lodging.
20 Dunu da: i da amane sia: i, “Dilia da na diasuga golamu da defea. Na da hahawane dili ouligimu. Dilia da gadili moilai dogoa sogebi amoga golamu da hamedei.”
And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street.
21 Amaiba: le, e da ili ea diasuga oule asili, ilia dougi amoma ha: i manu i. Ilia da emo dodofelalu, ha: i mai.
And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast.
22 Ilia da hahawane da: i dunu ea diasu ganodini esalu. Amalalu, dunu amo sama ea sama adole lasu dunu da diasu sisiga: le, logo ga: suga bagade fasu. Ilia da dunu da: i ema amane sia: i, “Dunu da dia diasuga misi, amo gadili oule masa. Ninia da ema adole lasu hou hamomu.”
While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial, (that is, without yoke, ) came and beset the old man’s house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may abuse him.
23 Be dunu da: i da gadili asili, ilima amane sia: i, “Na na: iyado! Hame mabu! Amo wadela: idafa hou ema mae hamoma. Na da amo dunu na diasuga aowasa.
And the old man went out to them, and said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly.
24 Ba: ma! Ea gidisedagi uda amola na uda mano dunu hame fi da esalebe. Na da ela gadili oule misini, dilia hanai hou elama hamoma. Be amo dunuma amo wadela: i hou mae hamoma.”
I have a maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not this crime against nature on the man.
25 Be wadela: i adole lasu dunu da ea sia: hame nabi. Amaiba: le, Lifai dunu da ea gidisedagi uda lale, gadili oule asili, ilima i. Ilia da gasi ganodini, mae fisili, amo uda wadela: lesi amola ilia hanaiga wadela: idafa hou hamonanu, hahabe fawane yolesi.
They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning.
26 Hahabedafa, uda da dunu da: i ea diasu amoga egoa esalu, amo logo ga: suga misini, diasa: i. Eso misi digagala: be galu e da amogai dialebe ba: i.
But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there fell down.
27 Egoa da nedigili, e da masusa: logo doasili, ea gidisedagi uda osoboga diasa: i, ea lobo logo ga: su gagumusa: molole guda: i dialebe ba: i.
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold.
28 E amane sia: i, “Wa: legadoma! Ninia da ahoa: di!” Be e da bu hame ado baoui. Amaiba: le, e da ea bogoi da: i hodo amo dougi da: iya ligisili, hi diasuga asi.
He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house.
29 E da hi diasuga doaga: loba, ganodini golili sa: ili, gobihei lai. Amoga e da ea gidisedagi uda ea da: i hodo dadega: le, hu amola gasa fagoyale agoane ligiagagale, afae afae amo, e da Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala ilima iasi.
And when he was come home he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel.
30 Dunu huluane da amo hou ba: beba: le bagadewane fofogadigi. Ilia amane sia: i, “Ninia agoai hou da hamedafa ba: i. Ninia da Idibidi soge yolesili, amogainini wali, agoai hou hamedafa ba: su. Ninia amo hou hahamomu da defea. Hahamomusa: gini ninia adi hou hamoma: bela: ?”
And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.
