< Judges 19 >

1 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that a certain Levite, sojourning on the further side of mount Ephraim, took him a concubine out of Bethlehem-Judah.
Ndalogo jo-Israel ne onge gi ruoth. Koro ja-Lawi mane odak e chuny piny e gode mag Efraim nokendo nyako moro moa Bethlehem e piny Juda.
2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Bethlehem-Judah, and was there some time, — four months.
Dhakono wuodhe ne ok ber, omiyo noweyo ngʼatno modok dalagi e od wuon mare Bethlehem e piny Juda. Bangʼ kane osebedo kuno kuom dweche angʼwen,
3 And her husband rose up and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again; and his servant was 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.
chwore nodhi ire mondo olombe gi wach oduogi. Ne en-gi jatichne kod punde ariyo. Notere nyaka e od wuon mare, kendo ka wuon mare nonene, norwake gi mor.
4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him, and he abode with him three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
Jaduongʼne, ma wuon nyako, nosaye mondo omed limogi; omiyo nobedo kanyo kuom ndalo adek, kochiemo kendo kometho, kendo konindo kanyo.
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 to his son-in-law, Refresh thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards ye may go your way.
Chiengʼ mar angʼwen ne gichiewo gokinyi ka giikore mar wuok, to jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “We iyud gimoro icham; eka idhi.”
6 And they sat down, and ate and drank, both of them together. And the damsel's father said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and pass the night, and let thy heart be glad.
Omiyo ji ariyogo nobedo piny mochiemo kendo ometho. Bangʼe jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Yie iri kawuono mondo iyud mor.”
7 And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Kendo kane ngʼatno oa malo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nosaye, omiyo nonindo kanyo otienono.
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; but the damsel's father said, Refresh thy heart, I pray thee. And they lingered until the afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
Chiengʼ mar abich gokinyi, kane ochungo mondo odhi, jaduongʼne nowachone niya, “Bed mamor. Rit nyaka odhiambo!” Omiyo ji ariyogo nochiemo kanyakla.
9 And the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant; and his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him, Behold now, the day draws toward evening — I pray you stay all night; behold, the day is declining, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go to thy tent.
E kinde ma ngʼatno gi dhakono kod jatichne nowuok mondo odhiyo, jaduongʼne nowachonegi niya, “Sa koro ngʼeny, omiyo ninduru ka nikech piny oseyuso. Ninduru kendo ubed mamor eka kiny gokinyi uchiew mondo udog thuru.”
10 But the man would not tarry the night; and he rose up and departed, and came opposite to Jebus, that is, Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, and his concubine was with him.
To nikech ne ok odwar nindo kanyo kendo, ngʼatno nowuok mi ochiko yo Jebus (tiende ni, Jerusalem), gi pundege ariyo kod dhako morono.
11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Kane gichopo machiegni gi Jebus e kinde mag angʼich welo, jatich nowachone ruodhe niya, “Bi, mondo waywe e dala maduongʼ mar Jebus kendo wanind kanyo.”
12 But his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, which is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass on to Gibeah.
Ruodhe nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Ok wanadhi e dala maduongʼ mar jodak, ma joge ok jo-Israel. Wabiro dhi nyaka wachop Gibea.”
13 And he said to his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places, and lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Nomedo owacho niya, “Bi, mondo watem ka wanyalo chopo Gibea kata Rama mondo wabuor wanindi e achiel kuom miergo.”
14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Omiyo negidhi nyime giwuoth, kendo chiengʼ nopodho ka gichiegni chopo Gibea e piny Benjamin.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in, to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in, and sat down in the open place of the city; and there was no one that received him into his house to pass the night.
Kane gichopo kanyo mondo gibuor, negidhi mi gibet e laru mar dala maduongʼ, to onge ngʼama norwakogi mondo giyud kar nindo.
16 And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjaminites.
Odhiambono jaduongʼ moro moa e piny gode mag Efraim, mane odak Gibea (joma nodak kanyo ne gin jo-Benjamin), nobiro kanyo koa tiyo e puothe.
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the open place of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
Kane ongʼiyo moneno jawuoth e laru mar dala maduongʼ, jaduongʼno nopenje niya, “Ua kanye, to udhi kanye?”
18 And he said to him, We are travelling from Bethlehem-Judah towards the further side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I; and I went to Bethlehem-Judah, and I have to do with the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that receives me into his house.
Nodwoko niya, “Waa Bethlehem e piny Juda ka wadhi e chuny piny manie piny gode mag Efraim kuma adakie. Asebedo Bethlehem e piny Juda kendo koro adok e od Jehova Nyasaye. Onge ngʼama oserwaka e ode.
19 And we have both straw and provender for our asses; and I have bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants: there is no lack of anything.
Wan kaka wasumbinigi wan gi lum ma pundewa nyalo chamo kod makati gi divai moromowa; onge gima waremo.”
20 Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
Jaduongʼno nowachonegi niya, “Orwaku e oda. We amiu gimoro amora ma udwaro. To kik unind e laru mar dala maduongʼni.”
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Omiyo nodhi kode e ode mi opidho pundege. Bangʼ kane giselwoko tiendegi, nomigi gima ginyalo chamo kendo madho.
22 They were making their hearts merry, when behold, the men of the city, sons of Belial, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.
Kane pod gibedo gi mor e kindgi giwegi, jomoko ma timbegi mono mag dala maduongʼno nolworo odno. Negigoyo dhoot ka gikok ne jaduongʼ ma wuon odno niya, “Gol oko ngʼatno mane obiro e odi mondo waterre kode.”
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brethren, I pray you, do not wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this villany.
Wuon odno nowuok oko mi owachonegi niya, “Ooyo, osiepena, kik utim tim mamonono. Nimar ngʼatni en wendona, kik utim gima rachno.
24 Behold, my daughter, who is a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out, and humble ye them, and do to them as is good in your sight; but to this man do not so vile a thing.
Neuru, kawuru nyara ma pod ok ongʼeyo chwo, kod dhako moroni. Abiro golonugi oko sani mondo uterru kodgi; to ngʼatni to kik utimne gima rachno.”
25 But the men would not hearken to him; and the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning; and let her go when the morning-dawn arose.
To jogi nodagi winje. Omiyo ja-Lawino nogolo chiege momiyogi, kendo negiterore kode githuon otieno duto, to kane ochopo kogwen, to ne giweye mondo odhi.
26 And the woman came at the dawning of the day, and fell down at the entrance of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Kane ochopo gokinyi, dhakono nodok e ot kama ruodhe ne oninde, mogore piny e wangʼ dhoot kendo nonindo kanyo nyaka chiengʼ ochako rieny.
27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the door of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, there lay the woman his concubine at the entrance of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
Ka ruodhe nochiewo gokinyi kendo oyawo dhoot mondo mi owuog oko odhi nyime gi wuodhe, noyudo ka chiege onindo kanyo, kogore piny e nyim dhoot, ka lwetene oriere piny e kar dino cham.
28 And he said to her, Up, and let us go; but no one answered. And he took her upon the ass; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
Nowachone niya, “Aa malo; wadhi.” To ne onge dwoko. Bangʼe ngʼatni noyieye e pundene kendo ne giwuok mondo gidog.
29 And when he was come into his house, he took the knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders of Israel.
Kane ochopo dala, nokawo pala mokengogo chiege, fuoni ka fuoni migepe apar gariyo mi oorogi e gwenge duto mag Israel.
30 And it came to pass that every one that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day. Think it over, advise, and speak.
Ngʼato angʼata mane oneno ma nowacho niya, “Gima chalo kama ne pok one kata timore, chakre ndalo mane jo-Israel oa Misri nyaka chil kawuono. Paruruane wachni kendo noneuru mondo unyiswa ane gima onego watim!”
