Judges 19
1 And it came to pass 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 to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.
Hiche phatlai hi Israelten leng ananei masangu chu ahi. Ephraim thinglhang gamkun’ah Levi mikhat anachengin ahi. Nikhat hi aman Judah gam Bethlehem akon in numei khat athaikem dingin ahin kipuijin ahi.
2 And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there the space of four months.
Ahinlah amanu hitoh akina-lhonin ahileh Bethlehem ma apa in'ah ana kile kittan ahi. Lha li alhin jouvin,
3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly unto her, to bring her again, having 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.
Ajipa chu Bethlehem jon dingin akipat doh in amanu chu gajol lungdam’a hin kile puikit agot ahi. Aman sangan kopkhat toh alhachapa chu ana kipuijin ahi. Ama ajinu pa in agalhun chun ajinu pa chun ngailutna neitah in anasangin ahi.
4 And his father-in-law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
Anupa pachun nichomkhat beh umdingin ana ngehin ahi. Hijeh chun, ama chu nithum anichongin, aneuvin, adonnun chuleh ajan geh un ahi.
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son-in-law, Strengthen thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye shall go your way.
Ni li channi chun amapa chu matah in athouvin cheding akigotan, ahinla anupa pachun amapa komma chun “Nache kah un bu themkhat beh gahne kitnun,” atin ahi.
6 So they sat down, and did eat and drink, both of them together: and the damsel’s father said unto the man, Be pleased, I pray thee, to tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry.
Hijeh chun amani jong atoukit lhonnin themkhat anelhon tan ahi. Hijouchun numeinu pachun hiti hin ahin seikit in, “Jankhat beh gehkit inlang kicholdo kit’un ati.”
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Levi pachu akipatdoh in achegotan ahileh anupa pan aum kit nadiuvin angeh teitei jengin ahileh ajona in anom’in jankhat ageh kittai.
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel’s father said, Strengthen thy heart, I pray thee, and tarry ye until the day declineth; and they did eat, both of them.
Ni nga channin amachu matah in athouvin chedingin akigotai, ahin numeinu pachun, “Nehthei themkhat beh nenlang nilhah lamleh chenauvin nate” tin ahin seikit’in ahi. Hichun amaho chun nehkhomna aneikit’un ahi.
9 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, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thy heart may be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
Hichejou chun amapa le athaikemnu chuleh alhachapa chu che dingin akigo tauvin ahi, anupapan aseijin, “Ven tuhi nilhah lang hiding ahitai, tujan gehkit inlang nomtah in kicholdon lang jing tengleh matah in athouvin natin na-inlam u jon tauvin nate,” ati.
10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus (the same is Jerusalem): and there were with him a couple of asses saddled; his concubine also was with him.
Ahinlah tuphat vang'in chetei agotan ahi. Hijeh chun asangan teni leh athaikemnu chu akipuijin Jebus (Hichu Jerusalem) lang ahin jontauvin ahi.
11 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 aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Jebus anaiphat’in agei thimlheh tan alhachapa chun akom’ah chun “Jebus khopia hin kinga pa uhitin, jan geh taote” ati.
12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside into the city of a foreigner, that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.
Apakaipan “Hithei ponte Israel mi um nalou gamchom mite khopia igeh theilou diu ahi,” hiche sang chun Gibeah lam ana jonsuh taohite.
13 And he said unto his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Hungin Gibeah ahilouleh Ramah lhuntei go uhitin hiche khopiho khatpen pennahin gehnao hite” ati.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Hitichun achetaove. Gibeah agalhun uchun nisalhum ding kon ahitai, Gibeah chu Benjamin gamsunga khopi khat ahi.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat him down in the street of the city; for there was no man that took them into his house to lodge.
Hilai mun achun akinga uvin jan-geh ding in akigo tauvin ahi. Koiman ainna lhunsah dinga akoulou jeh uchun hiche khopi lamlen khatna chun akicholnga tauvin ahi.
16 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even: now the man was of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Hiche janchun tehse alouva anatohna akon a-inlam hinjonkhat aumin ahi. Amachu Ephraim thinglhang akonna Gibeah a hung kichaolut ahin, hiche khopia chenghohi Benjamin phungmi ahiuve.
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
Amaho chu khopi lamsom’a anatou chu amu phatnin “Hoiya hungkon hoilang jonding nahiuvam?” tin anadongin ahi.
18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah unto the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim; from thence am I, and I went to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am [now] going to the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that taketh me into his house.
Amapan adonbutnin, “Keiho hi Judah gam Bethlehem’a konna Ephraim thinglhang gamgilla um ka in-mun u jonding kahiuve. Ahinla koiman a-in na lhungding in eikou pouvin ahi.
19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man that is with thy servants: there is no want of anything.
Keihon kangaichat diu jouse kanei naove, sangan nehding changpol kaneijun, keiho nehding changlhah le theitui lhingset’in kanei naovin ahi” atiuve.
20 And the old man said, Peace be unto thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
Tehsepu chun, “Kei kommah geh tauvin, keiman nangaichat diu jouse nape naovinge, amavang hiche lamsom’a vang hin jan-geh hihbeh un,” ati.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
Hiti chun a-in na apuijin asangan teni jong chu avahtan ahi. Amahon akeng akisilluva an aneh uva adonjou phat’un,
22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.
Nomsatah a agah umpet laitah un, khopi sunga konchun miphalou honkhat’in inchu ahin umkhum un, kotchu ahin chum’un tehsepu chu ahinsap thouvin, “na in na lhungpa chu hinpui doh in keihon numei bolla kaboldiu ahi” atiuvin ahi.
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly.
Tehsepu chu amaho to kihou dingin apotdoh in aga kihoupin “Ahipoi sopite ho, hitobang thilse chu bolpou hite, ajeh chu amapahi ka-in na lhung kamaljin ahibouve, chutobang thilmelse tah chu bolpoute,
24 Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not any such folly.
Veuvin, kachanu nungah thengtah khat leh hiche mipa thaikemnu hi hinpedoh inge nalo lo lotauvin, ahinla hiche mipa chunga vang hin chutobang thilmelse chu bol hihbeh un” ati.
25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Ahinlah amahon angaideh pouvin ahi. Hijeh chun Levi pachun athaikemnu chu kotpamma asondoh in ahileh, khopi mitechun amanu chu khovah lhah tokah in kichepnan aneitauvin ahi. Khovah then then chun amanu chu alhakang bep’un ahi.
26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.
Khovah lhahchun amanu chu ajipa lhunna a chun ahung kilen kotbul aphahchun alhulhop tan khovah lhah geijin ana kijamtan ahi.
27 And 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 was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
Ajipan gahpot dinga kotchu ahin honleh athaikemnu chu kotbulla anakijam jengin akhut teni chu tolla anakiphatho jengin ahi.
28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going; but none answered: then he took her up upon the ass; and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
Aman “thouvin chetate” atileh adonbut tapon ahi. Hitichun atahsa chu sangan chungah ajamin ain geijin apoluttai.
29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
Ain alhunphatnin, chemkhat alan athaikemnu hub oh somle bohni ason bohkhat cheh chu Israel gampumpia phungkhat cheh chu athot’in ahi.
30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider it, take counsel, and speak.
Hiche mujouse chun, “Israelten Egypt ahin dalhah uva pat tuni chan geijin hitobang thilmelse hi sohkha hih laijin ahi chule mujong akimu kha hih laiye, hichepi hi gel temun, tuahi ipi ibolluva i-ilodiu hitam? Koiham aseithei ding’ah?” akiti tauvin ahi.
