< Judges 19 >

1 At that time Israel didn't have a king. A Levite who was living in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim married a concubine-wife from Bethlehem in Judah.
Amo esoha, Isala: ili da hina bagade hame galu. Lifai dunu afadafa da Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini esalu. E da Bedeleheme moilai, Yuda soge ganodini, amoga ea gidisedagi uda a: fini (amo da ea udadafa hame be ema gilisili golamusa: eno lai) amo hamomusa: lai.
2 But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father's house in Bethlehem. She was there for four months.
Be amo uda da Lifai dunuma ougiba: le, hobea: i dagoi. E da ea eda ea diasu Bedeleheme moilai ganodini, amoga buhagili, oubi biyaduyale gala esalu.
3 Then her husband went after her, to talk kindly with her and bring her back home. With him went his servant and two donkeys. She took him to her father's house and when her father met him, he gladly welcomed him.
Amalalu, Lifai dunu da e bu lamusa: dawa: i galu. E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola dougi aduna amo uda ea eda diasuga oule asi. Ea uda da eda diasu logo doasi amola ea eda da Lifai dunu hahawane aowai.
4 Her father pressed him to stay with them, so he remained for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there.
Eda da ema esaloma: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, e da eso udiana ouesalu. E amola ea uda da amo diasuga ha: i mai amola amogai gasi udiana golai.
5 On the fourth day he and his concubine got up early in the morning and prepared to leave, but her father said to his son-in-law, “You'll feel better if you have something to eat before you go.”
Eso biyadu amoga hahabedafa ela da nedigili, logoga masunusa: liligi momagei. Be uda ea eda da Lifai dunu ema amane sia: i, “Hidadea fonobahadi ha: i moma. Amo da dima gasa imunu. Fa: no masunu da defea.”
6 So the two men sat down to eat and drink together. The father said to his son-in law, “Please agree to spend another night here, and you can enjoy yourself!”
Amaiba: le, amo dunu aduna da fili, ha: i mai amola waini hano mai. Amalalu, uda ea eda da ema amane sia: i, “Guiguda: hahawane golama!”
7 The man got up to leave, but his father-in-law pressed him to stay, so in the end he spent the night there.
Lifai dunu da masunusa: wale gadoi. Be uda ea eda da ema ha: giwane esaloma: ne sia: beba: le, e da eno gasi amoga goegawi golai.
8 On the fifth day he got up early in the morning to leave. But his father-in-law said, “Eat before you go, then leave later this afternoon.” So they had a meal together.
Golale, eso bi hahabedafa, e da masunusa: dawa: i galu. Be uda ea eda da amane sia: i, “Hidadea ha: i moma. Esomogoa agoane masunu da defea.” Amaiba: le, amo dunu aduna da ha: i mai.
9 When he got up to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law told him, “Look it's late—it's already evening. Spend the night here. The day's almost over. Stay here the night and enjoy yourself, then tomorrow you can get up early and be on your way home.”
Lifai dunu amola ea gidisedagi uda amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da masusa: dawa: beba: le, eda da amane sia: i, “Daeya da gadenesa. Dilia gasimu galebe. Guiguda: hahawane golama. Hahabedafa dia diasuga masunu da defea.”
10 But the man didn't want to spend another night, so he got up and left. He headed towards the town of Jebus (now called Jerusalem) with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
11 As they approached Jebus the day was over, the servant said to his master, “Sir, why don't we stop here at this Jebusite town for the night?”
Be Lifai dunu da gasi eno amoga golamu higa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e, ea gidisedagi uda, ela hawa: hamosu dunu amola dougi aduna (fisu amo da: iya ligisibi ba: i) logoga asi. Ilia da Yibase (Yelusaleme) gadenene doaga: loba, gasi gadenene ba: i. Amaiba: le, hawa: hamosu dunu da amane sia: i, “Ninia da amo Yibase moilai bai bagade ganodini golamu da defea.”
12 But his master replied, “No, we're not going to stop in this town where only foreigners live and no Israelites. We'll continue on to Gibeah.”
13 Then he told his servant, “Come on, let's try and get to Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night somewhere there.”
Be ea ouligisu da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu hame esalebe moilai bai bagade ganodini golamu da defea hame. Ninia da amo moilai baligili, Gibia o Lama moilaiga golamu.”
14 So they carried on and reached Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin just as the sun was setting.
Amaiba: le, ilia da Yibase moilai bai bagade (Yelusaleme) baligili, Gibia moilai Bediamini fi ilia soge ganodini, amoga doaga: i. Amoha eso dabe ba: i.
15 They stopped in Gibeah to spend the night, and sat down in the town's main square, but no one invited them to come and stay.
Ilia da logo fisili, diasuga golamusa: asi. Ilia da moilai dogoa sogebi amoga asili, be dunu da ili aowamusa: hame sia: i.
16 But later that evening an old man came by, returning from working in the fields. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, but was now living in Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin.
Ilia da amoga esaloba, dunu da: i da ea ifabi amoga hawa: hamonanu, ilima doaga: i. E da musa: Ifala: ime agolo soge amoga esalu. Be amoga mugululi, Gibia moilaiga misi esalu. (Eno dunu huluane amogawi esalu da Bediamini dunu).
17 He looked over and noticed the traveler in the square and asked, “Where are you going and where have you come from?”
Dunu da: i da Lifai dunu moilai dogoa sogebi amoga esalebe ba: beba: le, e amane sia: i, “Di da habidili misibala: ? Amola di da habidili masa: bela: ?”
18 “We've come from Bethlehem in Judah and we're going to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim,” the man replied. “I'm from there and I went to Bethlehem, and now I'm going to the Lord's Temple. No one here has invited me to stay.
Lifai dunu da bu adole i, “Ninia da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge gadili asili, wali ninia da ninia diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge amoga buhagisa. Guiguda: dunu eno da ninima golama: ne sogebi hame olei.
19 There's straw and food for our donkeys, and we your servants have bread and wine—enough for me, the woman, and my servant. We have all we need.”
Ninia da dougi ea ha: i manu gala. Amola ninia da ha: i manu amola waini hano, na amola na gidisedagi uda amola na hawa: hamosu dunu manu defele gala. Be amo mae dawa: le, dunu da ninima golamu sogebi hame olei.”
20 “You are welcome to stay with me,” the man replied. “I can let you have everything you need. Just don't spend the night here in the square.”
Dunu da: i da amane sia: i, “Dilia da na diasuga golamu da defea. Na da hahawane dili ouligimu. Dilia da gadili moilai dogoa sogebi amoga golamu da hamedei.”
21 He took him home and fed the donkeys. The travelers washed their feet and then started to eat and drink.
Amaiba: le, e da ili ea diasuga oule asili, ilia dougi amoma ha: i manu i. Ilia da emo dodofelalu, ha: i mai.
22 While they were enjoying themselves, some depraved men from the town came and surrounded the house, and banged on the door, shouting to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to stay in your house so we can have sex with him.”
Ilia da hahawane da: i dunu ea diasu ganodini esalu. Amalalu, dunu amo sama ea sama adole lasu dunu da diasu sisiga: le, logo ga: suga bagade fasu. Ilia da dunu da: i ema amane sia: i, “Dunu da dia diasuga misi, amo gadili oule masa. Ninia da ema adole lasu hou hamomu.”
23 The man who owned the house went outside and told them, “My brothers, don't act in such an evil way! This man is a guest in my house. Don't do something so disgusting!
Be dunu da: i da gadili asili, ilima amane sia: i, “Na na: iyado! Hame mabu! Amo wadela: idafa hou ema mae hamoma. Na da amo dunu na diasuga aowasa.
24 Look, here's my virgin daughter and the man's concubine. Let me bring them out and you can rape them and do whatever you want to them. But don't do something so disgusting to this man.”
Ba: ma! Ea gidisedagi uda amola na uda mano dunu hame fi da esalebe. Na da ela gadili oule misini, dilia hanai hou elama hamoma. Be amo dunuma amo wadela: i hou mae hamoma.”
25 But the men refused to listen, so the man grabbed his concubine and threw her outside to them. They raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and only discarded her at dawn.
Be wadela: i adole lasu dunu da ea sia: hame nabi. Amaiba: le, Lifai dunu da ea gidisedagi uda lale, gadili oule asili, ilima i. Ilia da gasi ganodini, mae fisili, amo uda wadela: lesi amola ilia hanaiga wadela: idafa hou hamonanu, hahabe fawane yolesi.
26 As night turned into day she returned to the house where her master was staying and collapsed in front of the door as it got light.
Hahabedafa, uda da dunu da: i ea diasu amoga egoa esalu, amo logo ga: suga misini, diasa: i. Eso misi digagala: be galu e da amogai dialebe ba: i.
27 Her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house. He went out to continue his journey and there was his concubine, stretched out in the doorway of the house, with her hands holding onto the doorstep.
Egoa da nedigili, e da masusa: logo doasili, ea gidisedagi uda osoboga diasa: i, ea lobo logo ga: su gagumusa: molole guda: i dialebe ba: i.
28 “Get up, let's go,” he told her, but there was no answer. Then the man lifted her onto his donkey and went home.
E amane sia: i, “Wa: legadoma! Ninia da ahoa: di!” Be e da bu hame ado baoui. Amaiba: le, e da ea bogoi da: i hodo amo dougi da: iya ligisili, hi diasuga asi.
29 When he got home he took a knife, and holding onto his concubine, cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent these pieces of her to every part of Israel.
E da hi diasuga doaga: loba, ganodini golili sa: ili, gobihei lai. Amoga e da ea gidisedagi uda ea da: i hodo dadega: le, hu amola gasa fagoyale agoane ligiagagale, afae afae amo, e da Isala: ili fi fagoyale gala ilima iasi.
30 Everyone who saw her said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen before, from the time the Israelites left Egypt up until now. You should think about what happened to her! Decide what to do! Speak up!”
Dunu huluane da amo hou ba: beba: le bagadewane fofogadigi. Ilia amane sia: i, “Ninia agoai hou da hamedafa ba: i. Ninia da Idibidi soge yolesili, amogainini wali, agoai hou hamedafa ba: su. Ninia amo hou hahamomu da defea. Hahamomusa: gini ninia adi hou hamoma: bela: ?”
