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.
Terjadilah pada zaman itu, ketika tidak ada raja di Israel, bahwa di balik pegunungan Efraim ada seorang Lewi tinggal sebagai pendatang. Ia mengambil seorang gundik dari Betlehem-Yehuda.
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.
Tetapi gundiknya itu berlaku serong terhadap dia dan pergi dari padanya ke rumah ayahnya di Betlehem-Yehuda, lalu tinggal di sana empat bulan lamanya.
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.
Berkemaslah suaminya itu, lalu pergi menyusul perempuan itu untuk membujuk dia dan membawanya kembali; bersama-sama dia bujangnya dan sepasang keledai. Ketika perempuan muda itu membawa dia masuk ke rumah ayahnya, dan ketika ayah itu melihat dia, maka bersukacitalah ia mendapatkannya.
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.
Mertuanya, ayah perempuan muda itu, tidak membiarkan dia pergi, sehingga ia tinggal tiga hari lamanya pada ayah itu; mereka makan, minum dan bermalam di sana.
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.
Tetapi pada hari yang keempat, ketika mereka bangun pagi-pagi dan ketika orang Lewi itu berkemas untuk pergi, berkatalah ayah perempuan muda itu kepada menantunya: "Segarkanlah dirimu dahulu dengan sekerat roti, kemudian bolehlah kamu pergi."
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.
Jadi duduklah mereka, lalu makan dan minumlah keduanya bersama-sama. Kata ayah perempuan muda itu kepada laki-laki itu: "Baiklah putuskan untuk tinggal bermalam dan biarlah hatimu gembira."
7 And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Tetapi ketika orang itu bangun untuk pergi juga, mertuanya itu mendesaknya, sehingga ia tinggal pula di sana bermalam.
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.
Pada hari yang kelima, ketika ia bangun pagi-pagi untuk pergi, berkatalah ayah perempuan muda itu: "Mari, segarkanlah dirimu dahulu, dan tinggallah sebentar lagi, sampai matahari surut." Lalu makanlah mereka keduanya.
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.
Ketika orang itu bangun untuk pergi, bersama dengan gundiknya dan bujangnya, berkatalah mertuanya, ayah perempuan muda itu, kepadanya: "Lihatlah, matahari telah mulai turun menjelang petang; baiklah tinggal bermalam, lihat, matahari hampir terbenam, tinggallah di sini bermalam dan biarlah hatimu gembira; maka besok kamu dapat bangun pagi-pagi untuk berjalan dan pulang ke rumahmu."
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.
Tetapi orang itu tidak mau tinggal bermalam; ia berkemas, lalu pergi. Demikian sampailah ia di daerah yang berhadapan dengan Yebus--itulah Yerusalem--; bersama-sama dengan dia ada sepasang keledai yang berpelana dan gundiknya juga.
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.
Ketika mereka dekat ke Yebus dan ketika matahari telah sangat rendah, berkatalah bujang itu kepada tuannya: "Marilah kita singgah di kota orang Yebus ini dan bermalam di situ."
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.
Tetapi tuannya menjawabnya: "Kita tidak akan singgah di kota asing yang bukan kepunyaan orang Israel, tetapi kita akan berjalan terus sampai ke 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.
Lagi katanya kepada bujangnya: "Marilah kita berjalan sampai ke salah satu tempat yang di sana dan bermalam di Gibea atau di 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.
Lalu berjalanlah mereka melanjutkan perjalanannya, dan matahari terbenam, ketika mereka dekat Gibea kepunyaan suku Benyamin.
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.
Sebab itu singgahlah mereka di Gibea, lalu masuk untuk bermalam di situ, dan setelah sampai, duduklah mereka di tanah lapang kota. Tetapi tidak ada seorangpun yang mengajak mereka ke rumah untuk bermalam.
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.
Tetapi datanglah pada malam itu seorang tua, yang pulang dari pekerjaannya di ladang. Orang itu berasal dari pegunungan Efraim dan tinggal di Gibea sebagai pendatang, tetapi penduduk tempat itu adalah orang Benyamin.
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?
Ketika ia mengangkat mukanya dan melihat orang yang dalam perjalanan itu di tanah lapang kota, berkatalah orang tua itu: "Ke manakah engkau pergi dan dari manakah engkau datang?"
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.
Jawabnya kepadanya: "Kami sedang dalam perjalanan dari Betlehem-Yehuda ke balik pegunungan Efraim. Dari sanalah aku berasal; aku tadinya pergi ke Betlehem-Yehuda dan sekarang sedang berjalan pulang ke rumah. Tetapi tidak ada orang yang mengajak aku ke rumahnya,
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.
walaupun ada padaku jerami dan makanan untuk keledai kami, pula roti dan anggur untuk aku sendiri, untuk hambamu perempuan ini dan untuk bujang yang bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini; kami tidak kekurangan sesuatu."
20 Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
Lalu berkatalah orang tua itu: "Jangan kuatir! Segala yang engkau perlukan biarlah aku yang menanggung, tetapi janganlah engkau bermalam di tanah lapang kota ini."
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Sesudah itu dibawanyalah dia masuk ke rumahnya, lalu keledai-keledai diberinya makan; maka merekapun membasuh kaki, makan dan minum.
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.
Tetapi sementara mereka menggembirakan hatinya, datanglah orang-orang kota itu, orang-orang dursila, mengepung rumah itu. Mereka menggedor-gedor pintu sambil berkata kepada orang tua, pemilik rumah itu: "Bawalah ke luar orang yang datang ke rumahmu itu, supaya kami pakai dia."
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.
Lalu keluarlah pemilik rumah itu menemui mereka dan berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak, saudara-saudaraku, janganlah kiranya berbuat jahat; karena orang ini telah masuk ke rumahku, janganlah kamu berbuat noda.
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.
Tetapi ada anakku perempuan, yang masih perawan, dan juga gundik orang itu, baiklah kubawa keduanya ke luar; perkosalah mereka dan perbuatlah dengan mereka apa yang kamu pandang baik, tetapi terhadap orang ini janganlah kamu berbuat noda."
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.
Tetapi orang-orang itu tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya. Lalu orang Lewi itu menangkap gundiknya dan membawanya kepada mereka ke luar, kemudian mereka bersetubuh dengan perempuan itu dan semalam-malaman itu mereka mempermainkannya, sampai pagi. Barulah pada waktu fajar menyingsing mereka melepaskan perempuan itu.
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.
Menjelang pagi perempuan itu datang kembali, tetapi ia jatuh rebah di depan pintu rumah orang itu, tempat tuannya bermalam, dan ia tergeletak di sana sampai fajar.
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.
Pada waktu tuannya bangun pagi-pagi, dibukanya pintu rumah dan pergi ke luar untuk melanjutkan perjalanannya, tetapi tampaklah perempuan itu, gundiknya, tergeletak di depan pintu rumah dengan tangannya pada ambang pintu.
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.
Berkatalah ia kepada perempuan itu: "Bangunlah, marilah kita pergi." Tetapi tidak ada jawabnya. Lalu diangkatnyalah mayat itu ke atas keledai, berkemaslah ia, kemudian pergi ke tempat kediamannya.
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.
Sesampai di rumah, diambilnyalah pisau, dipegangnyalah mayat gundiknya, dipotong-potongnya menurut tulang-tulangnya menjadi dua belas potongan, lalu dikirimnya ke seluruh daerah orang 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.
Dan setiap orang yang melihatnya, berkata: "Hal yang demikian belum pernah terjadi dan belum pernah terlihat, sejak orang Israel berangkat keluar dari tanah Mesir sampai sekarang. Perhatikanlah itu, pertimbangkanlah, lalu berbicaralah!"
