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.
I u to vrijeme, kad ne bješe cara u Izrailju, bješe jedan Levit koji življaše kao došljak kraj gore Jefremove, i uze inoèu iz Vitlejema Judina.
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,
A inoèa njegova èinjaše preljubu kod njega, pa otide od njega kuæi oca svojega u Vitlejem Judin, i osta ondje èetiri mjeseca.
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.
A muž njezin usta i otide za njom da joj lijepo govori i da je dovede natrag, imajuæi sa sobom momka svojega, i dva magarca; i ona ga uvede u kuæu oca svojega, i kad ga vidje otac njezin obradova se dolasku njegovu.
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.
I ustavi ga tast njegov, otac mladièin, i osta kod njega tri dana, i ondje jeðahu i pijahu i noæivahu.
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 èetvrti dan kad ustaše rano, usta i on da ide; ali otac mladièin reèe zetu svojemu: potkrijepi srce svoje zalogajem hljeba, pa onda idite.
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.”
I tako sjedoše i jedoše obojica zajedno i napiše se; pa reèe otac mladièin mužu: hajde ostani još noæas, i budi veseo.
7 The man got up to depart, but his father-in-law persuaded him, so he stayed there that night.
Ali èovjek usta da ide; ali tast njegov navali na nj, te opet noæi ondje.
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.
Potom urani petoga dana da ide; i reèe mu otac mladièin: potkrijepi srce svoje. I jeduæi zajedno zabaviše se dokle i dan naže.
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.”
Tada usta èovjek da ide, on i inoèa mu i momak; a tast njegov, otac mladièin, reèe mu: eto, dan je veæ nagao, veèe je, prenoæite ovdje; eto dockan je, prenoæi ovdje, i budi veseo, pa sjutra uranite na put, i idi k svojemu šatoru.
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.
Ali èovjek ne htje noæiti; nego usta i poðe; i doðe do Jevusa, a to je Jerusalim, i s njim dva magarca natovarena i inoèa njegova.
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.”
A kad bijahu blizu Jevusa, dan bijaše nagao vrlo, pa reèe sluga gospodaru svojemu: hajde brže da se svratimo u taj grad Jevus, i tu da noæimo.
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.”
A gospodar mu reèe: neæemo svrtati u tuð grad, koji nije sinova Izrailjevijeh, nego æemo iæi do Gavaje.
13 He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
Još reèe momku svojemu: hajde brže da stignemo u koje od tijeh mjesta i da noæimo u Gavaji ili u Rami.
14 So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.
I minuše onuda i otidoše; i sunce ih zaðe blizu Gavaje Venijaminove.
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.
I okretoše onamo da otidu i prenoæe u Gavaji; i kad uðe, sjede na ulici gradskoj; i ne bi nikoga da ih primi u kuæu da prenoæe.
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.
I gle, jedan starac vraæaše se s posla svojega iz polja uveèe, a bijaše iz gore Jefremove i življaše kao došljak u Gavaji; a ljudi onoga mjesta bjehu sinovi Venijaminovi.
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?”
I on podigav oèi svoje ugleda onoga èovjeka putnika na ulici gradskoj; i reèe mu starac: kuda ideš? i otkuda ideš?
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,
A on mu odgovori: idemo od Vitlejema Judina do na kraj gore Jefremove; odande sam, pa sam išao do Vitlejema Judina, a sada idem k domu Gospodnjemu, i nema nikoga da me primi u kuæu.
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.”
A imamo i slame i piæe za magarce svoje, i hljeba i vina za se i za sluškinju tvoju i za momka koji je sa slugom tvojim; imamo svega dosta.
20 “Peace to you,” said the old man. “Let me supply everything you need. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
A starac mu reèe: budi miran; što ti god nedostaje, ja æu se starati za to; samo nemoj noæiti na ulici.
21 So he brought him to his house and fed his donkeys. And they washed their feet and ate and drank.
I uvede ga u svoju kuæu, i položi magarcima; potom opraše noge, i jedoše i piše.
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!”
A kad se razveseliše, gle, ljudi onoga grada, bezakonici, opkoliše kuæu, i stadoše lupati u vrata, i rekoše starcu, gospodaru od kuæe, govoreæi: izvedi toga èovjeka što je ušao u tvoju kuæu, da ga poznamo.
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.
I izašav k njima onaj èovjek, gospodar od kuæe, reèe im: ne, braæo, ne èinite zla; kad je èovjek ušao u moju kuæu, ne èinite toga bezumlja.
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.”
Evo kæi moja djevojka i inoèa njegova, njih æu vam izvesti, pa njih osramotite i èinite s njima što vam je volja, samo èovjeku ovomu ne èinite toga bezumlja.
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.
Ali ga ne htješe poslušati oni ljudi; tada onaj èovjek uze inoèu svoju i izvede je napolje k njima, i oni je poznaše, i zlostaviše je cijelu noæ do zore, i pustiše je kad zora zabijelje.
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.
I došavši žena u zoru pade kod vrata od kuæe onoga èovjeka gdje bješe gospodar njezin, i leža dokle se ne rasvanu.
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 gospodar njezin usta ujutru, i kad otvori vrata i izaðe da ide svojim putem, a to žena inoèa njegova ležaše na vratima kuænijem, i ruke joj na pragu.
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.
I reèe joj: ustani da idemo. Ali ne bi odgovora; tada je metnu na magarca, i ustavši èovjek poðe u mjesto svoje,
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.
I došav kuæi svojoj uze maè, i uze inoèu svoju i isijeèe je s kostima na dvanaest komada i razasla u sve krajeve Izrailjeve.
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!”
I ko god vidje govoraše: nije se uèinilo niti se vidjelo tako što otkad izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira do danas. Promislite o tom i vijeæajte i govorite.
