Mga Maghuhukom 19
1 Ug nahitabo niadtong mga adlawa, sa diha nga walay hari sa Israel, nga may usa ka Levihanon nga nagpuyo sa unahang daplin sa kabungtoran sa Ephraim nga mikuha alang kaniya usa ka puyopuyo gikan sa Beth-lehem sa Juda.
There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
2 Ug ang iyang puyopuyo may lalake gawas kaniya, ug mibulag gikan kaniya ngadto sa balay sa iyang amahan sa Beth-lehem sa Juda, ug didto siya sulod sa upat ka bulan.
She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for four months.
3 Ug ang iyang bana mitindog, ug miapas kaniya, sa pagsulti ug minaayo kaniya aron sa pagpabalik kaniya, uban kaniya ang iyang sulogoon ug duha ka asno: ug siya gidala sa babaye ngadto sa balay sa iyang amahan; ug sa pagkakita kaniya sa amahan sa babaye siya nagmalipayon sa pagpakighimamat kaniya.
And her husband followed her, wishing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to lead her back with him. And he had with him a servant and two donkeys. And she received him, and brought him into the house of her father. And when his father-in-law had heard about this, and had seen him, he met him with joy.
4 Ug ang iyang ugangan nga lalake, ang amahan sa babaye, naghawid kaniya; ug nagpabilin siya uban kaniya totolo ka adlaw: busa sila nangaon ug nanginum ug nanghigda didto.
And he embraced the man. And the son-in-law stayed in the house of his father-in-law for three days, eating and drinking with him in a friendly manner.
5 Ug nahitabo sa ikaupat ka adlaw, nga sila mingbangon ug sayo sa pagkabuntag, ug siya mitindog sa paglakaw: ug ang amahan sa babaye miingon sa iyang umagad: Lig-ona ang imong kasingkasing sa diyutay nga tinapay, ug unya molakaw kamo sa inyong dalan.
But on the fourth day, arising in the night, he intended to set out. But his father-in-law took hold of him, and he said to him, “First taste a little bread, and strengthen your stomach, and then you shall set out.”
6 Busa sila nanglingkod ug nangaon ug nanginum silang duha: ug ang amahan sa babaye miingon sa tawo: Ikalipay, ako nagahangyo kanimo, ang pagpabilin sa tibook nga gabii ug lipaya ang imong kasingkasing.
And they sat down together, and they ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “I ask you to remain here today, so that we may rejoice together.”
7 Ug ang tawo mitindog aron molakaw; apan ang iyang ugangan nga lalake milukmay kaniya, ug siya mihigda didto pag-usab.
But getting up, he intended to begin to set out. But nevertheless, his father-in-law pressed him resolutely, and made him remain with him.
8 Ug siya mibangon ug sayo sa pagkabuntag sayo sa ikalima na ka adlaw aron molakat; ug ang amahan sa babaye miingon: Lig-ona ang imong kasingkasing, ako nagahangyo kanimo, ug pabilin dinhi hangtud sa pagkapalis sa adlaw; ug silang duha nangaon.
But when morning came, the Levite was preparing for his journey. And his father-in-law said to him again, “I beg you to take a little food, and to be strengthened, until the daylight increases, and after that, you shall set out.” Therefore, they ate together.
9 Ug sa pagtindog sa tawo aron molakat, siya ug ang iyang puyopuyo ug ang iyang sulogoon, ug ang ugangan niya nga lalake, ang amahan sa babaye, miingon kaniya: Ania karon, karon ang adlaw nagakagabii na, ako magahangyo kanimo, nga mopabilin kamo sa tibook gabii: Ania karon, ang adlaw sumasalop, humigda kamo dinhi, aron ang imong kasingkasing magmalipayon; ug ugma panlakaw kamo ug sayo aron kamo mamauli.
And the young man got up, so that he might travel with his wife and servant. And his father-in-law spoke to him again: “Consider that the daylight is declining, and it approaches toward evening. Remain with me also today, and spend the day in gladness. And tomorrow you shall set out, so that you may go to your own house.”
10 Apan ang tawo wala mopabilin niadtong gabhiona, apan siya mitindog ug migikan ug miabut atbang sa Jebus (kini mao ang Jerusalem): ug may dala siyang duha ka asno nga siniyahan; ang iyang puyopuyo usab kuyog kaniya.
His son-in-law was not willing to agree to his words. Instead, he immediately continued on, and he arrived opposite Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two donkeys carrying burdens, and his mate.
11 Sa duol na sila sa Jebus ang adlaw nagakahapon na kaayo; ug ang sulogoon miingon sa iyang agalon: Umari ka, ako nagahangyo kanimo, ug humapit kita niana nga ciudad sa Jebusehanon, ug mopahulay didto.
And now they were near Jebus, but day was turning into night. And the servant said to his lord, “Come, I beg you, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites, so that we may find lodging in it.”
12 Ug ang iyang agalon miingon kaniya: Dili kita mohapit sa ciudad sa usa ka dumuloong, nga dili sa mga anak sa Israel; apan moadto kita sa Gabaa.
His lord responded to him: “I will not enter into the town of a foreign people, who are not of the sons of Israel. Instead, I will cross over as far as Gibeah.
13 Ug siya miingon sa iyang sulogoon: Umari ka, ug pahiduol kita sa usa niining mga dapita; ug mohigda kita sa Gabaa kun sa Rama.
And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
14 Busa mingpadayon sila ug nanlakaw sa ilang dalan; ug nasalopan sila sa adlaw duol sa Gabaa, nga sakop ni Benjamin.
Therefore, they passed by Jebus, and continuing on, they undertook the journey. But the sun went down on them when they were near Gibeah, which is of the tribe of Benjamin.
15 Ug minghapit sila didto sa paghigda sa Gabaa; ug misulod siya, ug milingkod siya sa dalan sa ciudad; kay walay tawo nga midapit kanila sa pagpahigda sa balay.
And so they diverted to it, so that they might lodge there. And when they had entered, they were sitting in the street of the city. For no one was willing to give them hospitality.
16 Ug ania karon, may usa ka tawong tigulang nga miabut gikan sa iyang buhat sa uma sa pagkahapon: karon kadtong tawo gikan sa kabungtoran sa Ephraim, ug siya mipuyo sa Gabaa; apan ang mga tawo sa maong dapit mga Benjaminhon.
And behold, they saw an old man, returning from the field and from his work in the evening, and he was also from mount Ephraim, and he was living as a stranger in Gibeah. For the men of that region were of the sons of Benjamin.
17 Ug giyahat niya ang iyang mga mata, ug nakakita sa lumalangyaw nga tawo sa dalan sa ciudad; ug ang tawong tigulang miingon: Asa ka paingon? ug diin ka gikan?
And the old man, lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city. And he said to him: “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
18 Ug siya miingon kaniya: Kami nangagi dinhi gikan sa Beth-lehem sa Juda ngadto sa kinalay-an nga dapit sa Ephraim: ako gikan didto ug ako miadto sa Beth-lehem sa Juda ug ako moadto karon sa balay ni Jehova; ug walay tawo nga midala kanako sa iyang balay.
He answered him: “We set out from Bethlehem of Judah, and we are traveling to our own place, which is beside mount Ephraim. From there we went to Bethlehem, and now we go to the house of God. But no one is willing to receive us under his roof.
19 Apan adunay kompay ug, pagkaon andam sa among mga asno; ug may tinapay ug vino usab alang kanako, ug sa imong sulogoon nga babaye, ug sa batan-ong lalake nga uban sa imong mga sulogoon; walay kulang sa bisan unsang butang.
We have straw and hay as fodder for the donkeys, and we have bread and wine for the use of myself, and for your handmaid and the servant who is with me. We lack nothing except lodging.”
20 Ug ang tawong tigulang miingon: Ang pakigdait anaa kanimo; apan isalig kanako ang tanan mong kinahanglan; ayaw lamang paghigda sa dalan.
And the old man responded to him: “Peace be with you. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, I beg you, do not stay in the street.”
21 Busa iyang gidala siya sa iyang balay, ug gihatagan ang mga asno ug kompay; ug sila nanghimasaw sa ilang mga tiil, ug nanagpangaon ug nanagpanginum.
And he led him into his house, and he gave fodder to his donkeys. And after they had washed their feet, he received them with a banquet.
22 Sa didto sila sa paglipay sa ilang mga kasingkasing, ania karon, ang mga tawo sa ciudad, pipila sa mga dautang tawo nanaglibut sa balay, nga nagabunal sa pultahan; ug ilang gisultihan ang pangulo sa balay, ang tawong tigulang nga nagaingon: Pagul-a ang tawo nga nahiabut sa imong balay, aron makaila kami kaniya.
And while they were feasting, and were refreshing their bodies with food and drink after the labor of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and surrounded the old man’s house. And they began to knock at the door, calling out to the lord of the house, and saying, “Bring out the man who entered your house, so that we may abuse him.”
23 Ug ang tawo, ang pangulo sa balay, miadto kanila sa gawas, ug miingon kanila: Dili, mga kaigsoonan ko, ako nagahangyo kaninyo, ayaw kamo pagbuhat sa hilabihang pagkadautan; sanglit nga kining tawohana nahiabut sa akong balay, ayaw pagbuhata kining binuanga.
And the old man went out to them, and he said: “Do not choose, brothers, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
24 Ania karon, ania man ang akong anak nga babaye nga usa ka dalaga, ug ang iyang puyopuyo; sila akong dad-on sa gawas karon, ug panamastamasan ninyo sila, ug buhata kanila sumala sa maayo kaninyo; apan niining tawohana ayaw gayud ninyo pagbuhata kining binuanga.
I have a virgin daughter, and this man has a mate. I will lead them out to you, so that you may debase them and may satisfy your lust. Only, I beg you, do not commit this crime against nature on the man.”
25 Apan ang mga tawo wala mamati kaniya: busa gikuha sa tawo ang iyang puyopuyo, ug gidala siya sa gawas ngadto kanila; ug sila nakaila kaniya, ug ilang giabusahan siya sulod sa tibook gabii hangtud sa kabuntagon: ug sa pagkabanagbanag na, siya gibuhian nila.
But they were not willing to agree to his words. So the man, discerning this, led out his mate to them, and he delivered her to their sexual abuse. And when they had abused her for the entire night, they released her in the morning.
26 Unya nahiabut ang babaye sa pagbanagbanag sa adlaw, ug napukan sa pultahan sa balay sa tawo nga didto ang iyang agalon hangtud nga mihayag na.
But the woman, as darkness was receding, came to the door of the house, where her lord was staying, and there she fell down.
27 Ug ang iyang agalon mibangon sa pagkabuntag, ug nangabli sa mga pultahan sa balay, ug migula sa pagpadayon sa panaw; ug ania karon, ang babaye nga iyang puyopuyo napukan sa pultahan sa balay, ug ang iyang mga kamot diha sa lusaranan.
When morning came, the man arose, and he opened the door, so that he might complete the journey that he had begun. And behold, his mate was lying before the door, with her hands reaching out to the threshold.
28 Ug siya miingon kaniya: Tindog, ug mangadto na kita; apan walay mitubag; unya siya gitungtong niya sa ibabaw sa asno; ug ang tawo mitindog, ug midangat sa iyang dapit.
And he, thinking that she was resting, said to her, “Get up, and let us walk.” But since she gave no response, realizing that she had died, he took her up, and he laid her on his donkey, and he returned to his house.
29 Ug sa paghisulod niya sa iyang balay, siya mikuha sa usa ka cuchillo ug gikuptan ang iyang puyopuyo ug iyang gihiwa-hiwa siya sumala sa iyang kabukogan sa napulo ug duha ka bahin, ug gipadala siya ngadto sa tanang mga utlanan sa purok sa Israel.
And when he had arrived, he took up a sword, and he cut into pieces the dead body of his wife, with her bones, into twelve parts. And he sent the pieces into all the parts of Israel.
30 Ug mao kadto, nga ang tanan nga nakakita niana miingon: wala pa gayud mahitabo ang ingon nga buhat ni makita sukad sa adlaw sa paghigula sa mga anak sa Israel gikan sa yuta sa Egipto hangtud niining adlawa: palandunga kini; pakitambag, ug sumulti kamo.
And when each one had seen this, they were crying out together, “Never has such a thing been done in Israel, from the day that our fathers ascended from Egypt, even to the present time. Let a sentence be brought and let us decide in common what ought to be done.”
