< 士師記 19 >

1 當以色列人尚沒有君王時,有一個肋未人寄居在厄弗辣因山地邊境;他由猶大白冷取了一個女子為妾。
And it was in the days those and [was] a king there not in Israel and he was - a man a Levite sojourning in [the] remotest parts of [the] hill country of Ephraim and he took for himself a woman a concubine from Beth-lehem Judah.
2 那妾對他發怒,就離開他回了猶大白冷的父家,在那裏住了四個月。
And she was angry towards him concubine his and she went from with him to [the] house of father her to Beth-lehem Judah and she was there days four months.
3 她的丈夫起來,帶著一個僕人,牽了兩匹驢去找她,想去慰問她,勸她回來;當他來到那女子的父家時,那少女的父親一望見他,就喜喜歡歡地來迎接他。
And he arose husband her and he went after her to speak to heart her (to bring back her *Q(K)*) and servant his [was] with him and a pair of donkeys and she brought him [the] house of father her and he saw him [the] father of the young woman and he was glad to meet him.
4 他的岳父,即那少女的父親,留他在家住了三日,他們在那裏一齊喫喝居住。
And he took hold on him father-in-law his [the] father of the young woman and he remained with him three days and they ate and they drank and they spent [the] night there.
5 第四天他們一早起來,肋未人起身要走,那少女的父親就對女婿說:「你們先用些餅,吃點點心,然後再走。」
And it was on the day fourth and they rose early in the morning and he arose to go and he said [the] father of the young woman to son-in-law his sustain heart your a morsel of bread and after you will go.
6 於是他們二人坐下一起喫喝;少女的父親對那人說:「請你賞面,再住一夜,再高興高興! 」
And they sat down and they ate [the] two of them together and they drank and he said [the] father of the young woman to the man be willing please and spend [the] night so it may be good heart your.
7 那人起身要走,但他的岳父挽留了他,他又在那裏過了一夜。
And he arose the man to go and he urged him father-in-law his and he turned back and he spent [the] night there.
8 第五天他一早起來要走,但那少女的父親又說:「請先吃些點心! 」於是二人又一同吃東西,直到日已西斜;
And he rose early in the morning on the day fifth to go and he said - [the] father of the young woman sustain please heart your and delay until declines the day and they ate [the] two of them.
9 那人和他的妾連他的僕人起身要走,他的岳父,即那少女的父親,對他說:「你看,天已晚了,今天在這裏再過一夜,再高興高興,明天清早起來,上路回家去罷! 」
And he arose the man to go he and concubine his and servant his and he said to him father-in-law his [the] father of the young woman here! please it is sinking the day to become evening spend [the] night please here! to decline the day spend [the] night here so it may be good heart your and you will rise early tomorrow for journey your and you will go to tent your.
10 但是,那人不願再過一夜,就帶著他的妾和僕人,以及備好的兩匹驢起身走了,來到耶步斯,即耶路撒冷的對面。到基貝亞過夜
And not he was willing the man to spend [the] night and he arose and he went and he came to opposite Jebus that [is] Jerusalem and [were] with him a pair of donkeys saddled and concubine his [was] with him.
11 當他們臨近耶步斯時,日已西垂,僕人就對主人說:「來,讓我們轉去,到這座耶步斯人城裏去投宿! 」
They [were] near Jebus and the day it had gone down exceedingly and he said the servant to master his come! please so let us turn aside to [the] city of the Jebusite[s] this so we may spend [the] night in it.
12 主人回答他說:「我們不可進入這座不屬以色列子民的外方人的城,我們往基貝亞去罷!
And he said to him master his not we will turn aside to a city foreign who not [are] of [the] people of Israel they and we will pass on to Gibeah.
13 他又對僕人說:「來! 我們到一個地方去投宿,或在基貝亞,或在辣瑪。」
And he said to servant his (come! *Q(K)*) so let us drew near at one of the places and we will spend [the] night in Gibeah or in Ramah.
14 於是他們又上路前行,當來近本雅明的基貝亞時,太陽已經落了。
And they passed on and they went and it went for them the sun beside Gibeah which [belongs] to Benjamin.
15 他們遂進了基貝亞,在那裏投宿;他們進城後,就坐在城內街市上,因為沒有人收留他們在家中過宿。
And they turned aside there to go to spend [the] night in Gibeah and he went and he sat in [the] open square of the city and not anyone [was] receiving them the house towards to spend [the] night.
16 有一個老人晚上由田間工作回來,他原是厄弗辣因山地的人,寄居在基貝亞;本地人卻是本雅明人。
And there! - a man old [was] coming from work his from the field in the evening and the man [was] from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he [was] sojourning in Gibeah and [the] men of the place [were] Ben-jaminites.
17 那老人舉目,看見在城中街市上又個過路的人,就問說:「你往那裏去﹖從那裏來﹖」
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw the man who was traveling in [the] open square of the city and he said the man old where? are you going and from where? are you coming.
18 肋未人回答他說:「我們是從猶大白冷來,往厄弗辣因山地的邊境去。我本是那地方的人,我去過猶大白冷,現在要回家去,但沒有人收留我到自己家裏去。
And he said to him [are] passing we from Beth-lehem Judah to [the] remotest parts of [the] hill country of Ephraim [am] from there I and I went to Beth-lehem Judah and [the] house of Yahweh I [am] going and not anyone [was] receiving me the house towards.
19 其實我有糧草餵驢,為我和你的婢女以及跟隨你僕人的這個青年人,都有食糧和酒,一無所缺。」
And [are] both straw as well as fodder there for donkeys our and [are] also food and wine there for me and for maidservant your and for the servant with servants your there not [is] lack of any thing.
20 那老人對他說:「你放心罷! 你所需要的由我供給,只不可在街上過夜。」
And he said the man old peace [be] to you certainly all lack your [is] on me only in the open square may not you spend [the] night.
21 他遂領他到自己家裏,餵上驢,他們洗了腳,以後就吃喝起來。基貝亞的惡行
And he brought him to house his (and he fed *Q(k)*) the donkeys and they washed feet their and they ate and they drank.
22 他們正滿懷高興的時候,看,本城的一些無賴之徒,圍住房屋敲門,對作家主的老人說:「把剛才到你家的那個人領出來,我們要認識他。」
They [were] making good heart their and there! [the] men of the city men of sons of worthlessness they surrounded the house beating violently on the door and they said to the man [the] master of the house old saying bring out the man who he came to house your so we may know him.
23 家主出來見他們,對他們說:「兄弟們,不要如此! 請你不要行這樣的惡事! 這人既進了我的家,你們決不能行這醜事!
And he went out to them the man [the] master of the house and he said to them may [you] not O brothers my may not you do evil please after that he has come the man this may [you] not house my may not you do the disgraceful folly this.
24 這裏有我的女兒還是處女,我領她出來,你們可任意污辱她,任憑你們待她;但是對於這人,你們決不可作這種醜事! 」
Here! daughter my the virgin and concubine his let me bring out please them and afflict them and do to them the good in view your and to the man this not you must do [the] thing of disgraceful folly this.
25 但是那些人不願聽他;客人就抓住自己的妾,把她交給了他們,他們就認識了她,整夜污辱她,直到早晨,在破曉的時候纔放了她。
And not they were willing the men to listen to him and he took hold the man on concubine his and he brought [her] out to them outside and they knew her and they abused her all the night until the morning and they let go her (just as came up *Q(K)*) the dawn.
26 天快亮的時候,那女子回到留他主人住宿的那人屋前,跌倒在那裏,直到天亮。
And she came the woman to [the] turning of the morning and she fell [the] entrance of [the] house of the man where master her [was] there until the light.
27 早晨,當她的主人起來開門,出去要動身起程時,看見那女人,即他的妾,伏在門口,她的手扶在門限上,
And he arose master her in the morning and he opened [the] doors of the house and he went out to go to way his and there! the woman concubine his [was] falling [the] entrance of the house and hands her [were] on the threshold.
28 就對她說:「起來! 我們走罷! 」然而沒有人回答他;那人便把她馱在驢上,起身回了本地。
And he said to her get up so let us go and there not [was one who] answered and he took her on the donkey and he arose the man and he went to place his.
29 到了家裏,拿起刀來,握住自己的妾,把她的肢體切成十二塊,送到以色列全境,
And he came to house his and he took the knife and he took hold on concubine his and he cut in pieces her to bones her into two [plus] ten pieces and he sent out her in all [the] territory of Israel.
30 吩咐他所派遣的人說:「你們要對以色列人這樣說:自從以色列子民由埃及地上來那一日,直到今日,是否發生過這樣的事﹖大家想一想,決定之後,請說出來。」凡看見的都說:「自從以色列子民由埃及地上來那一日,直到今日,從未發生過,也未見過這樣的事。」
And it was every [one who] saw and he said not it has occurred and not it has been seen like this from [the] day came up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt until the day this set for yourselves on it take counsel and speak.
