Judges 19
1 Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a Levite who lived in the remote hill country of Ephraim took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
A i aua ra, i te mea kahore he kingi o Iharaira, na ko tetahi tangata, he Riwaiti, e noho noa iho ana i te taha ki tua o te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima; na ka tango ia i tetahi wahine iti mana i roto i Peterehema Hura.
2 But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah. After she had been there four months,
Na kua puremu tana wahine iti, a mawehe atu ana i a ia ki te whare o tona papa, ki Peterehema Hura, a e wha nga tino marama ona ki reira.
3 her husband got up and went after her to speak kindly to her and bring her back, taking his servant and a pair of donkeys. So the girl brought him into her father’s house, and when her father saw him, he gladly welcomed him.
Na ka whakatika tana tahu, a haere ana ki te whai i a ia, ki te whakamarie i a ia, ki te whakahoki mai i a ia; ko tana tangata hoki tona hoa haere, me nga kaihe e rua: na ka kawea ia e te wahine ra ki te whare o tona papa, a, no te kitenga o te p apa o te kotiro i a ia, koa tonu, no te mea ka tutaki ki a ia.
4 His father-in-law, the girl’s father, persuaded him to stay, so he remained with him three days, eating, drinking, and lodging there.
Na ka pupuri tona hungawai, te papa o te kotiro, i a ia; a e toru nga ra i noho ai ia ki a ia; heoi kai ana, inu ana raua, a noho ana i reira.
5 On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning and prepared to depart, but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and then you can go.”
A i te wha o nga ra ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a whakatika ana ia ki te haere: na ka mea te papa o te kotiro ki tana hunaonga, Kia ora tou ngakau i tetahi wahi taro, a muri iho ka haere.
6 So they sat down and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the girl’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay overnight and let your heart be merry.”
Na ka noho raua, ka kai, ka inu tahi to raua tokorua, na ka mea te papa o te kotiro ki taua tangata, Tena koa, noho iho i te po nei, kia koa hoki tou ngakau.
7 The man got up to depart, but his father-in-law persuaded him, so he stayed there that night.
A, i te whakatikanga o taua tangata ki te haere, ka tohea ia e tona hungawai, na ka moe ano ia ki reira.
8 On the fifth day, he got up early in the morning to depart, but the girl’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they waited until late afternoon and the two of them ate.
A i te rima o nga ra ka maranga wawe ia ki te haere, a ka mea te papa o te kotiro, Kia ora tou ngakau: e noho korua kia titaha ra te ra; a kai ana raua tokorua.
9 When the man got up to depart with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look, the day is drawing to a close. Please spend the night. See, the day is almost over. Spend the night here, that your heart may be merry. Then you can get up early tomorrow for your journey home.”
Na ka whakatika taua tangata ki te haere, a ia, tana wahine iti me tana tangata, a ka mea tona hungawai, te papa o te kotiro ki a ia, Nana, kua heke te ra, kua ahiahi, e noho ra, nana kua tawharara te ra, hei konei moe ai, kia koa ai tou ngakau; a hei te ata apopo ka maranga wawe ai koutou ki te ara, ka haere ki tou kainga.
10 But the man was unwilling to spend the night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
Otiia kihai taua tangata i pai kia noho i taua po, engari whakatika ana ia, haere ana, a ka tae ki te ritenga atu o Iepuhu, ara o Hiruharama: i a ia ano hoki nga kaihe e rua, whakanoho rawa, i a ia ano hoki tana wahine iti.
11 When they were near Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Please, let us stop at this Jebusite city and spend the night here.”
Ka tata ratou ki Iepuhu, na kua aua noa atu te ra; a ka mea te tangata ki tona rangatira, Tena, kia peka tatou ki tenei pa o nga Iepuhi, ki reira moe ai.
12 But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites. We will go on to Gibeah.”
Na ka mea tona rangatria ki a ia, E kore tatou e peka ki te pa o te iwi ke, ehara nei i nga tamariki a Iharaira; engari me haere atu tatou ki Kipea.
13 He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
Na ka mea ia ki tana tangata, Haere mai, tatou ka whakatata ki tetahi o enei wahi; ka moe ai tatou ki Kipea, ki Rama ranei.
14 So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.
Na ka whiti atu ratou, ka haere; a kua tonene te ra i a ratou ka tata ki Kipea, ki tetahi pa o Pineamine.
15 They stopped to go in and lodge in Gibeah. The Levite went in and sat down in the city square, but no one would take them into his home for the night.
Na ka peka ratou ki reira, ka haere ki Kipea moe ai: a, i tona taenga atu, ka noho ki te waharoa o te pa; kahore hoki he tangata hei mau i a ratou ki tona whare moe ai
16 That evening an old man from the hill country of Ephraim, who was residing in Gibeah (the men of that place were Benjamites), came in from his work in the field.
Na ko tetahi tangata, he koroheke, e haere mai ana i tana mahi i te mara i te ahiahi; a ko taua tangata no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, i Kipea hoki e noho ana; ko nga tangata ia o te pa, he Pineamini.
17 When he looked up and saw the traveler in the city square, the old man asked, “Where are you going, and where have you come from?”
A ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka kite i te tangata konene i te waharoa o te pa, na ka mea taua koroheke, Ko hea koe? i haere mai ano hoki koe i hea?
18 The Levite replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and now I am going to the house of the LORD; but no one has taken me into his home,
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, I haere mai matou i Peterehema Hura, a e haere ana matou ki tera taha o te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima; no reira ahau; ai haere ahau ki Peterehema Hura; otiia e haere ana tenei ahau ki te whare o Ihowa; heoi kahore he tangat a hei mau i ahau ki roto ki tona whare.
19 even though there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me and the maidservant and young man with me. There is nothing that we, your servants, lack.”
He kakau witi ano ia tenei, he kai ma a matou kaihe; he taro ano tenei, he waina hoki maku, a ma tau pononga wahine, ma te tahake hoki a au pononga: kahore he mate ki te aha, ki te aha.
20 “Peace to you,” said the old man. “Let me supply everything you need. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
Na ka mea taua koroheke, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koe, He ahakoa ra, waiho mai i ahau nga mea katoa e matea e koe; otiia kaua e moe ki te waharoa.
21 So he brought him to his house and fed his donkeys. And they washed their feet and ate and drank.
Na mauria ana e ia ki tona whare, a hoatu ana he kai ma nga kaihe: a horoia ana e ratou o ratou waewae, kai ana, inu ana.
22 While they were enjoying themselves, suddenly the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they said to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house, so we can have relations with him!”
E mea ake ana o ratou ngakau ki to koa, na, ko te karapotinga o te whare e nga tangata o te pa, he tama na Periara; kei te patuki ki te tatau, ka korero ki te tangata nona te whare, ki taua koroheke ra, ka mea, Whakaputaina mai ki waho tena tang ata i haere na ki tou whare, kia mohio ai matou ki a ia.
23 The owner of the house went out and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! After all, this man is a guest in my house. Do not commit this outrage.
Na ka haere atu ki a ratou te tangata nona te whare, ka mea ki a ratou, Kaua ra, e oku tuakana, kaua e mahia te mea kino; kua tae mai nei hoki tenei tangata ki toku whare, kaua tenei mea poauau e meatia.
24 Look, let me bring out my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine, and you can use them and do with them as you wish. But do not do such a vile thing to this man.”
Na ko taku tamahine tenei, he wahine, me tana wahine iti hoki; maku raua e kawe atu inaianei, whakaititia raua e koutou, meatia hoki ki a raua te mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro: ko tenei tangata ia, kaua tenei mea poauau e meatia ki a ia.
25 But the men would not listen to him. So the Levite took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
A te pai nga tangata ki te whakarongo ki a ia, na ka mau taua tangata ki tana wahine iti, a kawea atu ana ki waho ki a ratou, a ka mohio ratou ki a ia, ka tukino hoki i a ia i taua po katoa a tae noa ki te ata: a ka hi te ata, ka tukua ia e rato u.
26 Early that morning, the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, collapsed at the doorway, and lay there until it was light.
Na ka haere mai te wahine ra i te puaotanga o te ata, takoto ana ki te kuwaha o te whare o te tangata kei reira nei tona ariki, a marama noa.
27 In the morning, when her master got up and opened the doors of the house to go out on his journey, there was his concubine, collapsed in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
A ka whakatika ake tona ariki i te ata, na ka huakina e ia nga tatau o te whare, ka puta atu, he mea kia haere i tona ara: na ko te wahine ra, ko tana wahine iti, kua hinga ki te kuwaha o te whare, ko ona ringa i runga i te paepae o te tatau.
28 “Get up,” he told her. “Let us go.” But there was no response. So the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika kia haere tatou. Kahore ia tetahi i whakao mai. Na ka hapainga ia e ia ki runga ki te kaihe. A ka maranga taua tangata, haere ana ki tona wahi.
29 When he reached his house, he picked up a knife, took hold of his concubine, cut her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel.
A, no tona taenga ki tona whare, ka tikina e ia tetahi maripi, a ka mau ki tana wahine iti, tapatapahia ana e ia ona wahi, kia tekau ma rua nga wahanga, a tukua ana ki nga rohe katoa o Iharaira, puta noa.
30 And everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has been seen or done from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt until this day. Think it over, take counsel, and speak up!”
A i mea te hunga katoa i kitea ai, Kahore tenei i mua, kahore ano hoki i kitea he rite mo tenei o te ra i haere mai ai nga tamariki a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa a mohoa noa nei: maharatia iho, whakaaroa, korerotia.
