Judges 19
1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha tsy nisy mpanjaka teo amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nisy Levita anankiray nivahiny tary an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, ka naka vaditsindrano avy any Betlehema-joda.
2 His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.
Ary ny vaditsindranony nijangajanga sy nisintaka taminy ka nandao azy ary nankany an-tranon-drainy any Betlehema-joda, dia nitoetra tao efa-bolana mipaka.
3 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. She brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Ary niainga ralehilahy ka nandeha nanaraka azy hanao teny malefaka taminy hampody azy ary nitondra ny zatovony sy boriky roa; dia nampiantranoin-dravehivavy ho ao an-tranon-drainy izy, ka nony hitan’ ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy, dia faly izy nihaona taminy.
4 His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
Ary nihazona azy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, ka nitoetra teo aminy hateloana izy, dia nihinana sy nisotro ary nandry tao izy roa lahy.
5 On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. The young lady’s father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.”
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahefatra, dia nifoha maraina koa izy ka niomana handeha; fa hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin’ ny vinantony: Aoka aloha mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ianareo.
6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”
Dia nipetraka izy roa lahy ka niara-nihinana sy nisotro; dia hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin-dralehilahy: Mba maneke ny handry eto anio alina, ary aoka ho faly ny fonao.
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Ary raha niomana handeha ralehilahy, dia nanery azy hitoetra ny rafozany, ka dia tafandriana tao indray izy.
8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.
Dia nifoha maraina koa izy handeha nony tamin’ ny andro fahadimy; fa hoy ny rain-drazavazavy: Aoka mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary mijanonjanona aloha mandra-pihilan’ ny andro; ary dia niara-nihinana izy roa lahy.
9 When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”
Ary raha niainga handeha ralehilahy sy ny vaditsindranony ary ny ankizilahiny, dia hoy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, taminy Indro, efa ho hariva ny andro izao, koa masìna ianao, mandria re anio alina; indro, efa hilentika ny masoandro, ka mandria eto, mba hifalian’ ny fonao; ary rahampitso dia hifoha maraina koa ianareo, ka handeha hody ianao.
10 But the man would not stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.
Fa tsy nety nijanona intsony ralehilahy tamin’ izany alina izany, fa niainga ihany izy ka nandeha, dia tonga tandrifin’ i Jebosa (Jerosalema izany); ary boriky roa samy voaisy lasely no nentiny, ary ny vaditsindranony niaraka taminy koa.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”
Ary rehefa mby teo akaiky an’ i Jebosa izy, ka efa ho hariva ny andro, dia hoy ny zatovo tamin’ ny tompony: Andeha hiakatra ato amin’ ity tanànan’ ny Jebosita ity isika ka handry ato.
12 His master said to him, “We will not enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
Fa hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsy hiakatra amin’ ny tanànan’ ny olona hafa firenena izay tsy isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely isika, fa handroso ihany ho any Gibea.
13 He said to his servant, “Come and let’s draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Andeha isika hankamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto tanàna ireto, dia any Gibea, na any Rama, ka handry any.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Dia nandroso izy ka nandeha; ary raha mbola teo akaiky an’ i Gibea, izay an’ ny Benjamita, izy, dia nilentika ny masoandro.
15 They went over there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.
Ka dia nivily teo izy handeha handry any Gibea; ary niakatra izy ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tanàna; fa tsy nisy olona nampiantrano azy handry tao an-tranony.
16 Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anti-panahy avy niasa tany an-tsaha nony hariva, sady olona avy any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima koa izy, saingy nitoetra tany Gibea, fa ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanana izany dia Benjamita.
17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”
Ary rehefa nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita ilay vahiny teo an-kianjan’ ny tanana, dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Hankaiza moa ianao? Ary avy taiza?
18 He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the LORD’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Avy tany Betlehema-joda izahay ka hankarỳ an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, fa any no tany nihaviako; ary nankany Betlehema-joda aho, fa mpankany an-tranon’ i Jehovah; ary tsy misy olona mampiantrano ahy;
19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”
kanefa misy mololo sy hanina ihany ho an’ ny borikinay, sady misy mofo sy divay ho ahy sy ny ankizivavinao ary ho an’ ny zatovo manaraka ny mpanomponao: tsy misy zavatra ilainay intsony.
20 The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but do not sleep in the street.”
Dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Fiadanana anie ho anao; aoka ho adidiko izay rehetra ilainao, fa aza mandry foana eto an-kianja.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Dia nitondra azy tany an-tranony izy ka nampihinana ny boriky; dia nanasa tongotra izy ireo ka nihinana sy nisotro.
22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, 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 can have sex with him!”
Ary raha mbola nampifaly ny fony izy, indro, ny mponina tao an-tanàna, olona tena ratsy fanahy, dia nanodidina ny trano ka nandondona mafy ny varavarana ary niteny tamin’ ilay lehilahy anti-panahy tompo-trano hoe: Avoahy ny lehilahy izay niditra ato an-tranonao, mba hahalalanay azy.
23 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 folly.
Dia nivoaka nankeo aminy ralehilahy tompo-trano ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsia, ry rahalahiko, masìna ianareo, aza manao ratsy; fa tonga ato an-tranoko ity lehilahy ity, koa aza manao izany zavatra fady indrindra izany ianareo.
24 Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man do not do any such folly.”
Indreto ny zanako-vavy virijina sy ny vaditsindranon-dralehilahy, aoka mba ho entiko mivoaka ireo, ka mandria aminy, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakareo; fa aza ity lehilahy ity no anaovanareo izany zavatra fady indrindra izany.
25 But the men would not listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.
Fa tsy nety nihaino azy ireo lehilahy ireo, ka dia nalain-dralehilahy ilay vaditsindrano ka navoakany taminy teo ala-trano; dia nahalala azy ireo ka nanao ditra taminy mandritra ny alina mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; ary rehefa hiposaka ny masoandro, vao nalefany handeha izy.
26 Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.
Ary rehefa ho maraina ny andro, dia tonga ravehivavy, ka lavo teo am-baravaran’ ny tranon-dralehilahy, izay nitoeran’ ny vadiny, ka nivalandotra teo mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro.
27 Her lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
Dia nifoha maraina ralehilahy ka namoha ny varavaran’ ny trano, dia nivoaka handeha tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany; ary, indro, ravehivavy vaditsindranony miampatra eo am-baravaran’ ny trano, ary ny tanany eo amin’ ny tokonana.
28 He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
Ary hoy ralehilahy taminy: Mitsangàna, andeha isika. Kanjo tsy nisy namaly. Dia nobetain-dralehilahy izy ka nasampiny teo amin’ ny borikiny; dia niainga izy nandeha ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
Ary rehefa tonga tao an-tranony izy, dia naka antsy, ka noraisiny ny fatin’ ny vaditsindranony, dia norasainy araka ny famavanin’ ny taolana ho roa ambin’ ny folo toko, ka nampitondrainy eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra.
30 It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.”
Ary hoy ity rehetra nahita: Tsy nisy zavatra natao na hita toy izany hatramin’ ny andro niakaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka mandraka androany; hevero izany, samia maka saina, ka ambarao.
