Judges 19
1 There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
Niadtong mga panahona, sa dihang wala pay hari ang Israel, adunay usa ka lalaki nga Levita, nagpuyo siya didto sa labing hilit nga dapit sa kabungtoran ni Efraim. Mikuha siya ug babaye alang sa iyang kaugalingon, usa ka kaipon nga gikan sa Betlehem sa Juda.
2 She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for four months.
Apan wala nagmatinud-anon ang iyang kaipon kaniya; mibiya kini kaniya ug mibalik sa balay sa iyang amahan sa Betlehem sa Juda. Nagpuyo siya didto sulod sa upat ka bulan.
3 And her husband followed her, wishing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to lead her back with him. And he had with him a servant and two donkeys. And she received him, and brought him into the house of her father. And when his father-in-law had heard about this, and had seen him, he met him with joy.
Unya miadto ug miapas ang iyang bana aron sa paghangyo nga mobalik siya kaniya. Miuban kaniya ang iyang sulugoon, ug ang paris sa asno. Busa gidala sila sa babaye sa balay sa iyang amahan. Sa dihang nakita sa amahan sa babaye ang lalaki, nalipay gayod siya.
4 And he embraced the man. And the son-in-law stayed in the house of his father-in-law for three days, eating and drinking with him in a friendly manner.
Ang iyang ugangan, nga amahan sa babaye, mipugos kaniya nga magpabilin sa tulo ka adlaw. Nangaon sila ug nanginom, ug didto na sila nagpagabii.
5 But on the fourth day, arising in the night, he intended to set out. But his father-in-law took hold of him, and he said to him, “First taste a little bread, and strengthen your stomach, and then you shall set out.”
Sa ika-upat nga adlaw misayo sila sa pagbangon ug nangandam siya aron sa paglakaw, apan miingon ang amahan sa babaye ngadto sa iyang umagad nga lalaki, “Lig-ona ang imong kaugalingon pinaagi sa gamay nga tinapay, ug makalakaw na kamo.”
6 And they sat down together, and they ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “I ask you to remain here today, so that we may rejoice together.”
Busa nanglingkod silang duha aron mangaon ug nagdungan sa pag-inom. Unya miingon ang amahan sa babaye, “Palihog itugot ninyo nga magpabilin kamo aron dinhi na matulog ug maglipay.”
7 But getting up, he intended to begin to set out. But nevertheless, his father-in-law pressed him resolutely, and made him remain with him.
Sa dihang mibangon na ang Levita aron sa pagbiya, gipugngan siya sa amahan sa babaye aron magpabilin una, busa giusab niya ang iyang plano ug nagpabilin na usab siya didto tibuok gabii.
8 But when morning came, the Levite was preparing for his journey. And his father-in-law said to him again, “I beg you to take a little food, and to be strengthened, until the daylight increases, and after that, you shall set out.” Therefore, they ate together.
Sa ikalima nga adlaw mibangon siya ug sayo aron sa pagbiya, apan miingon ang amahan sa babaye, “Lig-ona ang imong kaugalingon, ug hulat una kamo hangtod nga moabot ang kaudtohon.” Busa nangaon silang duha.
9 And the young man got up, so that he might travel with his wife and servant. And his father-in-law spoke to him again: “Consider that the daylight is declining, and it approaches toward evening. Remain with me also today, and spend the day in gladness. And tomorrow you shall set out, so that you may go to your own house.”
Sa dihang mibangon na ang Levita ug ang iyang kaipon ug ang iyang sulugoon aron nga molakaw na, ang iyang ugangang lalaki, ang amahan sa babaye miingon kaniya, “Tan-awa, hapit na ang gabii. Palihog pabilin una kamo karong gabii, ug paglipay. Mahimo na kamong magmata ug sayo ugma ug mouli sa inyong balay.”
10 His son-in-law was not willing to agree to his words. Instead, he immediately continued on, and he arrived opposite Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two donkeys carrying burdens, and his mate.
Apan dili na gusto magpabilin ang Levita sa tibuok gabii. Mitindog siya ug mibiya. Miadto siya sa Jebus (mao kana ang Jerusalem). Aduna siyay duha ka mga asno nga adunay hapin— ug uban kaniya ang iyang kaipon.
11 And now they were near Jebus, but day was turning into night. And the servant said to his lord, “Come, I beg you, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites, so that we may find lodging in it.”
Sa dihang hapit na sila sa Jebus, hapit na gayod mahuman ang adlaw, unya ang iyang sulugoon miingon sa iyang agalon, “Umari ka, moliko kita didto sa siyudad sa mga Jebusihanon ug didto na magpahulay karong gabii.”
12 His lord responded to him: “I will not enter into the town of a foreign people, who are not of the sons of Israel. Instead, I will cross over as far as Gibeah.
Ang iyang agalon miingon kaniya, “Dili kita moliko didto sa dapit sa mga langyaw nga dili sakop sa mga Israelita. Moadto nalang kita didto sa Gibea.”
13 And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
Miingon ang Levita sa iyang batan-ong sulugoon, “Umari ka, moadto kita sa laing dapit, ug didto nalang kita magpahulay karong gabii sa Gibea o sa Rama.”
14 Therefore, they passed by Jebus, and continuing on, they undertook the journey. But the sun went down on them when they were near Gibeah, which is of the tribe of Benjamin.
Busa miadto sila, ug misalop na ang adlaw sa dihang niabot sila duol sa Gibea, sa teritoryo ni Benjamin.
15 And so they diverted to it, so that they might lodge there. And when they had entered, they were sitting in the street of the city. For no one was willing to give them hospitality.
Busa miliko sila ug didto na nagpagabii sa Gibea. Nag-adto siya ug milingkod didto sa plasa sa siyudad, tungod kay walay nagdapit kanila sa ilang panimalay nianang gabhiona.
16 And behold, they saw an old man, returning from the field and from his work in the evening, and he was also from mount Ephraim, and he was living as a stranger in Gibeah. For the men of that region were of the sons of Benjamin.
Unya nianang gabhiona adunay tigulang nga lalaki nga gikan sa iyang uma. Gikan siya sa kabungtoran ni Efraim, ug nagpuyo siya sa Gibea sa makadiyot lamang. Apan mga Benjaminhon ang mga tawo nga nagpuyo didtong dapita.
17 And the old man, lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city. And he said to him: “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
Giyahat niya ang iyang mga mata ug nakita niya ang mga magpapanaw didto sa plasa sa siyudad. Miingon ang tigulang nga lalaki, “Asa man kamo mangadto? Asa man kamo gikan?”
18 He answered him: “We set out from Bethlehem of Judah, and we are traveling to our own place, which is beside mount Ephraim. From there we went to Bethlehem, and now we go to the house of God. But no one is willing to receive us under his roof.
Miingon ang Levita kaniya, “Gikan kami sa Betlehem sa Juda padulong sa labing hilit nga bahin sa kabungtoran ni Efraim, nga kung asa didto ako naggikan. Miadto ako sa Betlehem sa Juda, ug moadto ako sa balay ni Yahweh, apan walay bisan usa nga nagdapit kanako sulod sa iyang balay.
19 We have straw and hay as fodder for the donkeys, and we have bread and wine for the use of myself, and for your handmaid and the servant who is with me. We lack nothing except lodging.”
Aduna kami uhot nga pagkaon sa among mga asno, ug adunay tinapay ug bino alang kanako ug alang sa akong babayeng sulugoon, ug usab niining batan-ong lalaki nga uban sa imong mga sulugoon. Ug wala na kami lain pang gikinahanglan.”
20 And the old man responded to him: “Peace be with you. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, I beg you, do not stay in the street.”
Gitahod sila sa tigulang nga lalake, “Ang kalinaw maanaa kaninyo! Ako na ang bahala sa tanang ninyong gikinahanglan. Basta ayaw lang kamo pagpabilin karong gabii dinhi sa plasa.”
21 And he led him into his house, and he gave fodder to his donkeys. And after they had washed their feet, he received them with a banquet.
Busa gidala sa tigulang ang Levita sa iyang balay ug iyang gipakaon ang ilang mga asno. Gihugasan nila ang ilang mga tiil unya nangaon ug nanginom.
22 And while they were feasting, and were refreshing their bodies with food and drink after the labor of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and surrounded the old man’s house. And they began to knock at the door, calling out to the lord of the house, and saying, “Bring out the man who entered your house, so that we may abuse him.”
Sa dihang naglipaylipay ang ilang kasingkasing, ang pipila ka mga kalalakin-an sa siyudad nga walay mga pulos ang mipalibot sa balay ug nagpukpok sa ilang pultahan. Nakigsulti sila sa tigulang nga lalaki, ang agalon sa balay, nag-ingon, “Pagawsa ang lalaki nga anaa sa imong balay, aron nga makighilawas kami kaniya.”
23 And the old man went out to them, and he said: “Do not choose, brothers, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
Ang lalaki, ang agalon sa balay, miadto kanila ug miingon, “Dili, akong mga kaigsoonan, palihog ayaw buhata kining daotang butang! Tungod kay bisita ko kining tawhana, ayaw buhata kining daotang butang!
24 I have a virgin daughter, and this man has a mate. I will lead them out to you, so that you may debase them and may satisfy your lust. Only, I beg you, do not commit this crime against nature on the man.”
Tan-awa, anaa dinhi ang akong ulay nga anak ug ang kaipon sa akong bisita. Tugoti ako sa pagpagawas kanila. Hilabti sila ug buhata ang gusto ninyong buhaton kanila. Apan ayaw lamang ninyo buhati ug daotan kining tawhana!”
25 But they were not willing to agree to his words. So the man, discerning this, led out his mate to them, and he delivered her to their sexual abuse. And when they had abused her for the entire night, they released her in the morning.
Apan wala naminaw ang mga kalalakin-an kaniya, busa gikuha sa lalaki ang iyang kaipon ug gidala sa gawas. Gidakop nila siya, gilugos, ug gipanamastamasan siya sa tibuok gabii, ug sa pagkakaadlawon gibuhian nila siya.
26 But the woman, as darkness was receding, came to the door of the house, where her lord was staying, and there she fell down.
Sa pagkakaadlawon miabot ang babaye ug natumba kini dapit sa pultahan sa balay sa lalaki kung diin nagpuyo ang iyang agalon, ug naghigda siya didto hangtod nga mihayag na.
27 When morning came, the man arose, and he opened the door, so that he might complete the journey that he had begun. And behold, his mate was lying before the door, with her hands reaching out to the threshold.
Mibangon sayo sa buntag ang iyang agalon ug giablihan ang mga pultahan sa balay ug migawas paadto sa iyang adtoan. Nakita niya ang iyang kaipon nga naghigda dapit sa pultahan, ang iyang kamot anaa sa pultahan.
28 And he, thinking that she was resting, said to her, “Get up, and let us walk.” But since she gave no response, realizing that she had died, he took her up, and he laid her on his donkey, and he returned to his house.
Ang Levita misulti kaniya, “Bangon. Manglakaw na kita.” Apan wala siya mitubag. Gibutang niya siya sa asno, ug mipauli ang lalaki sa ilang balay.
29 And when he had arrived, he took up a sword, and he cut into pieces the dead body of his wife, with her bones, into twelve parts. And he sent the pieces into all the parts of Israel.
Sa nahiabot na ang Levita sa iyang balay, mikuha siya ug kutsilyo, ug iyang gigunitan ang iyang kaipon, ug iyang gihiwahiwa, matag parte, sa dose ka bahin, ug gidala ang matag bahin bisan asa sa tibuok Israel.
30 And when each one had seen this, they were crying out together, “Never has such a thing been done in Israel, from the day that our fathers ascended from Egypt, even to the present time. Let a sentence be brought and let us decide in common what ought to be done.”
Ang tanan nga nakakita niini miingon, “Wala pa gayoy nahitabo o nakita nga sama niini sukad sa adlaw nga nakalingkawas ang mga katawhan sa Israel didto sa yuta sa Ehipto hangtod karon nga adlaw. Hunahunaa kini! Tagai kami ug tambag! Sultihi kami unsa ang among buhaton!”
