< 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.
Na mikolo oyo mokonzi azalaki te kati na Isalaele, Molevi moko oyo azalaki kovanda na suka ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi azwaki lokola makangu mwasi ya mboka Beteleemi kati na Yuda.
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.
Kasi makangu yango atambolaki na ekobo liboso na ye, alongwaki na libala mpe azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye, na Beteleemi kati na Yuda. Sima na basanza minei wuta azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye,
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.
mobali na ye ayaki epai na ye mpo na kobondela ye ete azonga na libala. Mobali ayaki elongo na mosali na ye mpe amemaki ba-ane mibale. Mwasi yango akotisaki mobali na ye kati na ndako ya tata na ye; mpe tango tata na ye amonaki mobali yango, asepelaki koyamba ye.
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.
Tata-bokilo na ye, tata ya mwana mwasi, akangaki ye mpo ete avanda mwa moke. Boye avandaki na ye mikolo misato, aliaki, amelaki mpe alalaki kuna.
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.
Na mokolo ya minei, balamukaki na tongo-tongo, mpe Molevi abongamaki mpo na kokende. Kasi tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki na bokilo na ye: « Lia mwa eloko mpo ete ozwa makasi; bongo sima, okoki na yo kokende. »
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.
Boye, bango mibale bavandaki esika moko mpo na kolia mpe komela. Sima na yango, tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki: « Nabondeli yo, vanda lisusu, na butu ya lelo, mpo ete motema na yo esepela. »
7 And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Mobali atelemaki mpo na kokende; kasi lokola tata-bokilo na ye abondelaki ye makasi ete avanda, avandaki kuna na butu yango.
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.
Na tongo ya mokolo ya mitano, tango mobali alamukaki, tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki: « Lia mwa eloko mpo ete ozwa makasi, zela kino na sima ya midi. » Boye, bango mibale baliaki mesa moko.
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.
Tango mobali elongo na makangu na ye mpe mosali na ye batelemaki mpo na kokende, tata-bokilo na ye, tata ya mwana mwasi, alobaki na ye: « Tala, pokwa esili koya! Nabondeli yo: lekisa lisusu butu awa; mokolo esili, vanda mpe sepelisa motema na yo. Bongo lobi, na tongo-tongo, bokoki kotelema mpo na kokende, mpe okozonga na ndako na yo. »
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.
Kasi mosali asepelaki te kolekisa butu mosusu; alongwaki mpe, elongo na ba-ane na ye mibale mpe makangu na ye, akendeki na Yebusi oyo ezali Yelusalemi. Ba-ane na ye ezalaki na bivandelo ya malamu penza.
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.
Tango bakomaki pembeni ya Yebusi mpe mokolo ekomaki pene ya kosila, mosali alobaki na nkolo na ye: — Nabondeli yo, tokota na engumba oyo ya bato ya Yebusi mpe tolekisa kuna butu.
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.
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: — Te, tokotelema te na engumba oyo ya bapaya, epai wapi ata mwana moko te ya Isalaele azali; tokokoma kino na 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.
Alobaki lisusu na mosali na ye: — Yaka, topusana pene na moko ya bamboka oyo; bongo tokolekisa butu kati na Gibea to na 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.
Boye bakobaki kotambola, mpe moyi ebungaki tango bakomaki pene ya Gibea, kati na mokili ya Benjame.
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.
Batelemaki na Gibea mpo na kolekisa butu. Bakotaki mpe bavandaki na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka, kasi moto moko te ayambaki bango na ndako na ye mpo na kolekisa butu.
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.
Na pokwa, mobali moko ya mobange awutaki na mosala na ye ya bilanga; azalaki moto ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi mpe azalaki kovanda na Gibea. Nzokande bato ya esika wana bazalaki bato ya libota ya Benjame.
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?
Tango atombolaki miso, amonaki moto ya mobembo na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka. Mobange yango atunaki ye: — Okeyi wapi mpe owuti wapi?
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.
Moto ya mobembo azongiselaki ye: — Towuti na Beteleemi ya Yuda; tozali kokende na esika oyo navandaka, na suka ya mboka ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Nazalaki na Beteleemi, na Yuda, sik’oyo nazali kokende na Ndako ya Yawe. Moto moko te ayambi ngai kati na ndako na ye.
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.
Nzokande tozali na matiti mpe biloko mpo na ba-ane na biso mibale, tozali lisusu na lipa mpe vino mpo na ngai, mwasi na ngai mpe mosali na ngai moko oyo nazali na ye elongo; tozangi eloko moko te.
20 Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
Mobange yango alobaki: — Tika ete kimia ezala na yo! Bosenga na yo nyonso ekozala na moto na ngai. Kasi kolekisa butu te na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka.
21 And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Akotisaki bango na ndako na ye mpe apesaki ba-ane na ye matiti. Sima, basukolaki makolo, baliaki mpe bamelaki.
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.
Wana bazalaki nanu kolia mpe komela, ndambo ya mibali ya engumba, ya mitema mabe, bazingelaki ndako; babetaki na ekuke mpe balobaki na mobange oyo azalaki nkolo ndako: — Bimisa mosali oyo ayei na ndako na yo; tolingi kosangisa na ye nzoto ndenge basangisaka nzoto na basi.
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.
Nkolo ndako abimaki libanda mpe alobaki na bango: — Te, bandeko na ngai, bozala mabe boye te! Lokola mobali oyo azali kati na ndako na ngai, bosala ye mabe oyo te.
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.
Botala mwana na ngai ya mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe makangu ya mobali oyo azali kati na ndako! Nazali kobimisa bango sik’oyo libanda mpo na bino mpo ete bokoka kosala bango nyonso oyo bolingi. Kasi mpo na mobali oyo, bosala likambo ya soni ya boye te.
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.
Kasi mibali yango baboyaki koyokela ye. Boye mobali azwaki makangu na ye mpe abimisaki ye libanda epai na bango. Bakangaki ye mpe basangisaki na ye nzoto na makasi, butu mobimba; mpe tango tongo ekomaki pene ya kotana, batikaki ye akende.
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.
Tango tongo ezali kotana, mwasi azongaki na ndako epai wapi mobali na ye azalaki, akweyaki na ekuke mpe alelaki wana kino tongo etanaki malamu.
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.
Na tongo, tango mobali na ye alamukaki, afungolaki ekuke ya ndako mpo na kobima libanda mpe kokoba mobembo na ye; amonaki makangu na ye alali na ekuke ya ndako, maboko liboso ya ekuke.
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.
Alobaki na ye: « Telema; tokende! » Kasi azwaki eyano te. Bongo mobali yango atiaki makangu na ye na likolo ya ane na ye, akobaki mobembo na ye mpo na kozonga na ndako na ye.
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.
Tango akomaki na ndako na ye, azwaki mbeli, akataki nzoto ya makangu na ye na biteni zomi na mibale mpe atindaki yango na etando nyonso ya Isalaele.
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.
Moto nyonso oyo amonaki yango alobaki: « Likambo ya boye nanu namona yango te mpe nanu esalema te, wuta mokolo oyo bana ya Isalaele babimaki na Ejipito. Bokanisa na tina na yango, botala yango malamu mpe boyebisa biso nini tosengeli kosala. »
