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.
Alò, li te vin rive nan jou sa yo, pandan pa t gen wa an Israël, ke te gen yon sèten Levit ki te rete nan zòn izole nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm nan. Li te pran yon mennaj pou kont li, ki soti nan Bethléhem nan 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.
Men mennaj li a te jwe pwostitiye kont li. Li te kite li pou rive lakay papa l nan Bethléhem nan Juda e li te rete la pandan yon kat mwa.
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.
Epi mari li te leve swiv li, pou pale dousman avè l pou fè l tounen e te pran avè l sèvitè li a, ak yon pè bourik. Konsa, fi a te mennen li antre lakay papa l. Lè papa l te wè l, li te byen kontan rankontre li.
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.
Bòpè li a, papa a fi a te fè l fè reta. Li te rete avè l pandan twa jou konsa. La yo te manje, bwè e loje.
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.
Alò, nan katriyèm jou a, yo te leve granmmaten e yo te prepare pou sòti. Papa a fi a te di a bofi li: “Fòtifye ou menm avèk yon mòso pen pou, apre, nou kapab ale.”
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.
Konsa, toude te chita manje e bwè ansanm; epi papa a fi a te di nonm nan: “Souple, vin dakò pou pase nwit lan e fè kè ou kontan.”
7 And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Alò, nonm nan te leve pou pati, men bòpè li te ankouraje li. Konsa, li te pase nwit lan la ankò.
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.
Nan senkyèm jou a, li te leve pati bonè nan maten. Men papa a fi a te di: “Souple, soutni nou e tann pou jiska apremidi.” Konsa, yo toude te manje.
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.
Lè nonm nan te leve ansanm avèk mennaj li ak sèvitè li a, bòpè li te di li: “Men gade, jou a prèt pou rive; souple, pase nwit lan isit la pou kè ou kapab kontan. Epi demen ou kapab leve bonè pou vwayaje ale lakay ou.”
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.
Men nonm nan pa t dakò pase nwit lan. Konsa, li te leve sòti pou te rive nan lye anfas Jebus (sa vle di, Jérusalem). Li te gen avè l de bourik sele; mennaj li a te avè l tou.
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.
Lè yo te toupre Jebus, jou a te prèt fini; epi sèvitè te di a mèt li: “Souple, vini e annou vire akote antre vil ki pou Jebizyen yo pou pase nwit lan ladann.”
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.
Men mèt li a te di li: “Nou p ap vire akote antre nan vil etranje ki pa fè pati a fis Israël yo; men nou va kontinye rive jis Guibea.”
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.
Li te di a sèvitè li: “Vini e annou pwoche youn nan kote sa yo. Nou va pase nwit lan nan Guibea oswa Rama.”
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.
Konsa, yo te kontinye fè wout yo. Solèy la te kouche sou yo toupre Guibea, ki pou 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.
Yo te vire akote la pou antre rete nan Guibea. Lè yo te antre, yo te chita nan mache ki pou vil la, pwiske pèsòn pa t pran yo antre lakay yo pou pase nwit lan.
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.
Alò, vwala, yon mesye granmoun t ap sòti nan chan travay li nan aswè. Alò, mesye a te sòti nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, e li t ap viv Guibea, men mesye kote sa yo se te Benjamit yo te ye.
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?
Konsa, li te leve zye li pou te wè vwayajè yo nan mitan mache vil la. Epi granmoun nan te di: “Kibò nou prale e kibò nou sòti?”
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.
Li te di: “N ap pase soti Bethléhem nan Juda pou rive kote ki pi izole nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, paske se la mwen sòti e mwen te ale Bethléhem nan Juda. Men koulye a, se lakay mwen mwen prale e nanpwen moun k ap ban m plas.
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.
Men m gen pay ak manje pou bourik nou yo e osi, pen avèk diven pou mwen, sèvant ou, e jennonm ki avèk sèvitè ou yo. Nanpwen anyen ki manke.”
20 Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
Granmoun nan te di: “Lapè avèk nou. Sèlman, kite mwen okipe tout bezwen nou yo; sèlman, pa pase nwit lan sou plas la.”
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Konsa, li te pran li lantre lakay li e li te bay bourik yo manje. Yo te lave pye yo e te manje ak bwè.
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.
Pandan yo t ap fete, veye byen, mesye lavil yo, kèk sanzave, te vin antoure kay la. Yo te kòmanse frape pòt la, epi yo te pale avèk mèt kay la, granmoun nan, e te di: “Mennen fè sòti nonm ki te antre lakay ou a pou nou kapab gen relasyon seksyèl avèk li.”
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.
Alò, nonm nan, mèt kay la, te parèt deyò kote yo, e te di yo: “Non, zanmi mwen yo, souple pa aji mal konsa! Akoz nonm sa a te antre lakay mwen, pa vin fè yon zak bèt parèy konsa!
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.
Men fi vyèj mwen an ak sèvant li an; souple, kite mwen fè yo sòti pou nou kapab kouche avèk yo e fè sa ke nou pito. Men pa fè zak bèt sa a kont nonm sa a!”
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.
Men mesye yo te refize koute li. Epi nonm nan te sezi ti mennaj li a, li te mennen li deyò kote yo. Konsa, yo te vyole li e te abize li tout lannwit jis rive nan maten, e yo te lage li lè solèy prèt leve.
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.
Lè jou te kòmanse vin parèt, fanm nan te vin tonbe devan pòtay kay a mesye a kote mèt la te ye a jiskaske solèy fin klere nèt.
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.
Lè mèt li te leve nan maten e te louvri pòt la pou fè wout li, alò vwala, mennaj li an te kouche devan pòtay kay la, avèk men li sou papòt kay la.
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.
Li te di li: “Leve non, annou ale.” Men pa t gen repons. Alò, li te mete kadav li sou bourik la, epi nonm nan te leve ale lakay li.
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.
Lè li te antre lakay li, li te pran yon kouto, li te mete men li sou mennaj li a e te koupe li fè douz mòso, manm pa manm e te ranvoye li toupatou nan tout teritwa Israël la.
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.
Tout sa ki te wè l te di: “Anyen parèy a sa pa t janm fèt, ni pa t konn wè depi jou ke fis Israël yo te monte sòti an peyi Égypte la jis jodi a. Reflechi sou sa, pran konsèy e pale klè.”
