Jongʼad Bura 19
1 Ndalogo jo-Israel ne onge gi ruoth. Koro ja-Lawi mane odak e chuny piny e gode mag Efraim nokendo nyako moro moa Bethlehem e piny Juda.
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the lower edge of the mountain of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine out of Beth-lechem-judah.
2 Dhakono wuodhe ne ok ber, omiyo noweyo ngʼatno modok dalagi e od wuon mare Bethlehem e piny Juda. Bangʼ kane osebedo kuno kuom dweche angʼwen,
And his concubine became faithless unto him, and she went away from him unto her father's house to Beth-lechem-judah, and was there one year and four months.
3 chwore nodhi ire mondo olombe gi wach oduogi. Ne en-gi jatichne kod punde ariyo. Notere nyaka e od wuon mare, kendo ka wuon mare nonene, norwake gi mor.
And then her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, to bring her back; and he had 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 Jaduongʼne, ma wuon nyako, nosaye mondo omed limogi; omiyo nobedo kanyo kuom ndalo adek, kochiemo kendo kometho, kendo konindo kanyo.
And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, detained him; and he abode with him three days: and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
5 Chiengʼ mar angʼwen ne gichiewo gokinyi ka giikore mar wuok, to jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “We iyud gimoro icham; eka idhi.”
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; but the damsel's father said unto his son-in-law, Comfort thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward can ye go your way.
6 Omiyo ji ariyogo nobedo piny mochiemo kendo ometho. Bangʼe jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Yie iri kawuono mondo iyud mor.”
And they sat down, and both of them ate together and drank; and the damsel's father said unto the man, Do consent, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry.
7 Kendo kane ngʼatno oa malo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nosaye, omiyo nonindo kanyo otienono.
Still the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he turned back and lodged there.
8 Chiengʼ mar abich gokinyi, kane ochungo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Bed mamor. Rit nyaka odhiambo!” Omiyo ji ariyogo nochiemo kanyakla.
And when he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, the damsel's father said, Comfort thy heart, I pray thee, and tarry until the decline of the day: and both of them did eat.
9 E kinde ma ngʼatno gi dhakono kod jatichne nowuok mondo odhiyo, jaduongʼne nowachonegi niya, “Sa koro ngʼeny, omiyo ninduru ka nikech piny oseyuso. Ninduru kendo ubed mamor eka kiny gokinyi uchiew mondo udog thuru.”
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, tarry all night, I pray you: behold, it is the resting time of day, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and you may get early tomorrow on your way, and go then to thy tent.
10 To nikech ne ok odwar nindo kanyo kendo, ngʼatno nowuok mi ochiko yo Jebus (tiende ni, Jerusalem), gi pundege ariyo kod dhako morono.
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and went away, and came as far as opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and he had with him two saddled asses, and his concubine also was with him.
11 Kane gichopo machiegni gi Jebus e kinde mag angʼich welo, jatich nowachone ruodhe niya, “Bi, mondo waywe e dala maduongʼ mar Jebus kendo wanind kanyo.”
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 unto this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
12 Ruodhe nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Ok wanadhi e dala maduongʼ mar jodak, ma joge ok jo-Israel. Wabiro dhi nyaka wachop Gibea.”
And his master said unto him, We will not turn into one of the cities of the stranger, that are not belonging to the children of Israel; but we will pass on as far as Gib'ah.
13 Nomedo owacho niya, “Bi, mondo watem ka wanyalo chopo Gibea kata Rama mondo wabuor wanindi e achiel kuom miergo.”
And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places; and let us lodge all night in Gib'ah, or in Ramah.
14 Omiyo negidhi nyime giwuoth, kendo chiengʼ nopodho ka gichiegni chopo Gibea e piny Benjamin.
And they passed on and went forward; and the sun went down unto them by Gib'ah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
15 Kane gichopo kanyo mondo gibuor, negidhi mi gibet e laru mar dala maduongʼ, to onge ngʼama norwakogi mondo giyud kar nindo.
And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gib'ah; and when he went in, he sat down in the street of the city; for there was no man that brought them into his house to lodge.
16 Odhiambono jaduongʼ moro moa e piny gode mag Efraim, mane odak Gibea (joma nodak kanyo ne gin jo-Benjamin), nobiro kanyo koa tiyo e puothe.
And, behold, an old man was coming from his work out of the field at evening, and this man was from the mountain of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gib'ah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Kane ongʼiyo moneno jawuoth e laru mar dala maduongʼ, jaduongʼno nopenje niya, “Ua kanye, to udhi kanye?”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city: and then said the old man, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
18 Nodwoko niya, “Waa Bethlehem e piny Juda ka wadhi e chuny piny manie piny gode mag Efraim kuma adakie. Asebedo Bethlehem e piny Juda kendo koro adok e od Jehova Nyasaye. Onge ngʼama oserwaka e ode.
And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lechem-judah toward the lower edge of the mountain of Ephraim; from there am I, and I went as far as Beth-lechem-judah; but I am going to the house of the Lord; and there is no man that bringeth me into his house.
19 Wan kaka wasumbinigi wan gi lum ma pundewa nyalo chamo kod makati gi divai moromowa; onge gima waremo.”
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there are also bread and wine for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man who is with thy servants; there is no want of any thing.
20 Jaduongʼno nowachonegi niya, “Orwaku e oda. We amiu gimoro amora ma udwaro. To kik unind e laru mar dala maduongʼni.”
And the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie upon me; at least lodge not in the street.
21 Omiyo nodhi kode e ode mi opidho pundege. Bangʼ kane giselwoko tiendegi, nomigi gima ginyalo chamo kendo madho.
So he brought him to his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and they ate and drank.
22 Kane pod gibedo gi mor e kindgi giwegi, jomoko ma timbegi mono mag dala maduongʼno nolworo odno. Negigoyo dhoot ka gikok ne jaduongʼ ma wuon odno niya, “Gol oko ngʼatno mane obiro e odi mondo waterre kode.”
As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, worthless people, beset the house round about, knocking at the door; and they said to the master of the house, the old man, thus, Bring forth the man that in come to thy house, that we may know him.
23 Wuon odno nowuok oko mi owachonegi niya, “Ooyo, osiepena, kik utim tim mamonono. Nimar ngʼatni en wendona, kik utim gima rachno.
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, No, my brethren, I pray you, act not wickedly; since this man is once come into my house, do not this scandalous thing.
24 Neuru, kawuru nyara ma pod ok ongʼeyo chwo, kod dhako moroni. Abiro golonugi oko sani mondo uterru kodgi; to ngʼatni to kik utimne gima rachno.”
Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out now, and humble ye them, and do to them what seemeth good in your eyes; but unto this man do not this scandalous thing.
25 To jogi nodagi winje. Omiyo ja-Lawino nogolo chiege momiyogi, kendo negiterore kode githuon otieno duto, to kane ochopo kogwen, to ne giweye mondo odhi.
But the men would not hearken to him; so the man took hold of his concubine, and brought her forth unto them into the street; and they knew her, and ill-used her all the night until the morning; and they let her go when the day began to dawn.
26 Kane ochopo gokinyi, dhakono nodok e ot kama ruodhe ne oninde, mogore piny e wangʼ dhoot kendo nonindo kanyo nyaka chiengʼ ochako rieny.
Then came the woman [home] in the early part of the morning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, [and lay] till it was light.
27 Ka ruodhe nochiewo gokinyi kendo oyawo dhoot mondo mi owuog oko odhi nyime gi wuodhe, noyudo ka chiege onindo kanyo, kogore piny e nyim dhoot, ka lwetene oriere piny e kar dino cham.
And when her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go on his way: behold, the woman, his concubine, was lying at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
28 Nowachone niya, “Aa malo; wadhi.” To ne onge dwoko. Bangʼe ngʼatni noyieye e pundene kendo ne giwuok mondo gidog.
And he said unto her, Rise up, and let us be going; but no one answered. Then he took her upon the ass, and the man rose up, and went unto his place.
29 Kane ochopo dala, nokawo pala mokengogo chiege, fuoni ka fuoni migepe apar gariyo mi oorogi e gwenge duto mag Israel.
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her about in all the territory of Israel.
30 Ngʼato angʼata mane oneno ma nowacho niya, “Gima chalo kama ne pok one kata timore, chakre ndalo mane jo-Israel oa Misri nyaka chil kawuono. Paruruane wachni kendo noneuru mondo unyiswa ane gima onego watim!”
And it happened, that whoever saw it said, There hath no such deed been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day: reflect well on it, give advice, and speak.
