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.
It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem 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,
His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about 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.
Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman 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.
His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
5 Chiengʼ mar angʼwen ne gichiewo gokinyi ka giikore mar wuok, to jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “We iyud gimoro icham; eka idhi.”
It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
6 Omiyo ji ariyogo nobedo piny mochiemo kendo ometho. Bangʼe jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Yie iri kawuono mondo iyud mor.”
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
7 Kendo kane ngʼatno oa malo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nosaye, omiyo nonindo kanyo otienono.
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
8 Chiengʼ mar abich gokinyi, kane ochungo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Bed mamor. Rit nyaka odhiambo!” Omiyo ji ariyogo nochiemo kanyakla.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
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.”
When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
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 wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were 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 almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
12 Ruodhe nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Ok wanadhi e dala maduongʼ mar jodak, ma joge ok jo-Israel. Wabiro dhi nyaka wachop Gibea.”
His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
13 Nomedo owacho niya, “Bi, mondo watem ka wanyalo chopo Gibea kata Rama mondo wabuor wanindi e achiel kuom miergo.”
He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
14 Omiyo negidhi nyime giwuoth, kendo chiengʼ nopodho ka gichiegni chopo Gibea e piny Benjamin.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 Kane gichopo kanyo mondo gibuor, negidhi mi gibet e laru mar dala maduongʼ, to onge ngʼama norwakogi mondo giyud kar nindo.
They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
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.
Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; 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?”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
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.
He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
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 feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
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 to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
21 Omiyo nodhi kode e ode mi opidho pundege. Bangʼ kane giselwoko tiendegi, nomigi gima ginyalo chamo kendo madho.
So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and 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 enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with him."
23 Wuon odno nowuok oko mi owachonegi niya, “Ooyo, osiepena, kik utim tim mamonono. Nimar ngʼatni en wendona, kik utim gima rachno.
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful 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.”
Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
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 wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
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 at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
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.
Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on 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 to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
29 Kane ochopo dala, nokawo pala mokengogo chiege, fuoni ka fuoni migepe apar gariyo mi oorogi e gwenge duto mag Israel.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout 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 was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
