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.
Pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, ko ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, da je bil tam nek Lévijevec, [ki je] začasno prebival na pobočju gore Efrájim, ki si je vzel priležnico iz Judovega Betlehema.
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.
Njegova priležnica je zoper njega igrala vlačugo in odšla proč od njega, v hišo svojega očeta v Judovem Betlehemu in bila tam cele štiri mesece.
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.
Njen soprog je vstal in odšel za njo, da ji prijateljsko govori in da jo ponovno privede. S seboj je imel svojega služabnika in nekaj oslov in privedla ga je v hišo svojega očeta. Ko ga je oče od gospodične zagledal, se je razveselil, da ga je srečal.
4 Her father pressed him to stay with them, so he remained for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there.
Njegov tast, oče od gospodične, ga je zadržal in z njimi je ostal tri dni. Tako so jedli in pili ter tam prenočevali.
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.”
Pripetilo se je na četrti dan, ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, da se je dvignil, da odide. Oče od gospodične pa je svojemu zetu rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce z grižljajem kruha in potem pojdi svojo pot.«
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!”
Oba skupaj sta se usedla, jedla in pila, kajti oče od gospodične je možu rekel: »Privoli, prosim te in ostani vso noč in naj bo tvoje srce veselo.«
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.
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, mu je tast prigovarjal, zato je tam ponovno prenočil.
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.
Vstal je zgodaj zjutraj, peti dan, da odide in oče od gospodične je rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce, prosim te.« Ostala sta do popoldneva in oba sta jedla.
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.”
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, on, njegova priležnica in njegov služabnik, mu je tast, oče od gospodične, rekel: »Glej, sedaj se dan približuje večeru. Prosim te, ostani vso noč. Glej, dan gre h koncu, prenočuj tukaj, da bo tvoje srce lahko veselo in naslednji dan zgodaj pojdi na svojo pot, da boš lahko šel domov.«
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.
Toda mož to noč ni hotel ostati, temveč je vstal, odšel in prišel nasproti Jebúsa, ki je Jeruzalem in tam sta bila z njim dva osedlana osla in tudi njegova priležnica je bila z njim.
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?”
In ko so bili pri Jebúsu, je bil dan že davno porabljen in služabnik je rekel svojemu gospodarju: »Pridi, prosim te in obrniva se v to mesto Jebusejcev in prenočiva v njem.«
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.”
Njegov gospodar pa mu je rekel: »Ne bomo zavili vstran, sèm v to mesto tujca, ki ni izmed Izraelovih otrok; prešli bomo do Gíbee.«
13 Then he told his servant, “Come on, let's try and get to Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night somewhere there.”
Svojemu služabniku je rekel: »Pridi in približajmo se enemu izmed teh mest, da vso noč prenočimo v Gíbei ali v Rami.«
14 So they carried on and reached Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin just as the sun was setting.
Šli so naprej svojo pot in sonce je zašlo nad njimi, ko so bili pri Gíbei, ki pripada Benjaminu.
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.
Obrnili so se tja, da vstopijo in prenočijo v Gíbei. Ko so vstopili, se je usedel na mestno ulico, kajti tam ni bilo nobenega človeka, ki bi jih vzel v svojo hišo, da prenočijo.
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.
Glej, zvečer je prišel starec od svojega dela zunaj na polju, ki je bil prav tako z gore Efrájim in je začasno prebival v Gíbei. Toda možje kraja so bili Benjaminovci.
17 He looked over and noticed the traveler in the square and asked, “Where are you going and where have you come from?”
Ko je povzdignil svoje oči, je na mestni ulici zagledal popotnika in starec je rekel: »Kam greš? In od kod prihajaš?«
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.
Ta mu je odgovoril: »Mi smo prešli iz Judovega Betlehema proti pobočju gore Efrájim. Od tam sem in odšel sem k Judovemu Betlehemu, toda sedaj grem h Gospodovi hiši. Tukaj pa ni nobenega moža, ki bi me sprejel v hišo.
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.”
Vendar je tukaj tako slama in krma za naša osla in tukaj je kruh in vino zame in za mojo pomočnico in za mladeniča, ki je s tvojimi služabniki. Tukaj ni potrebe po nobeni stvari.«
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.”
Starec je rekel: »Mir bodi s teboj. Kakorkoli, pusti vse svoje potrebe počivati na meni, samo ne prenočuj na ulici.«
21 He took him home and fed the donkeys. The travelers washed their feet and then started to eat and drink.
Tako ga je odvedel v svojo hišo in dal krmo k oslom. Umili so svoja stopala, jedli in pili.
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.”
Torej ko so razveseljevali svoja srca, glej, so možje iz mesta, neki Beliálovi sinovi, naokoli obkrožili hišo in udarjali na vrata ter hišnemu gospodarju, starcu, spregovorili, rekoč: »Privedi moškega, ki je prišel v tvojo hišo, da ga lahko spoznamo.«
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!
Mož, hišni gospodar, je odšel ven k njim ter jim rekel: »Ne, moji bratje, ne, prosim vas, ne storite tako zlobno, glede na to, da je ta mož prišel v mojo hišo, ne storite te neumnosti.
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.”
Glejte, tukaj je moja hči, devica in njegova priležnica. Njiju bom torej privedel ven in ju ponižajte ter z njima storite kar se vam zdi dobro, toda temu možu ne storite tako ogabne stvari.«
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.
Toda možje mu niso hoteli prisluhniti. Tako je mož vzel svojo priležnico in jo privedel k njim. Spoznali so jo in jo zlorabljali vso noč do jutra. Ko pa se je dan začel svitati, so jo pustili oditi.
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.
Potem je ob jutranjem svitanju ženska prišla in padla dol pri vratih moževe hiše, kjer je bil njen gospodar, dokler ni bilo svetlo.
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.
Njen gospodar je zjutraj vstal, odprl vrata hiše in odšel ven, da gre svojo pot. In glej, ženska, njegova priležnica, je bila zvrnjena dol pri hišnih vratih in njene roke so bile na pragu.
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.
Rekel ji je: »Vstani in pojdimo.« Toda ni se odzvala. Potem jo je mož vzel gor na osla in mož se je dvignil ter se spravil k svojemu kraju.
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.
Ko je prišel v svojo hišo, je vzel nož in ga položil na svojo priležnico in jo razdelil na dvanajst kosov, skupaj z njenimi kostmi in jo poslal po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah.
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!”
In bilo je tako, da so vsi, ki so to videli, rekli: »Takšnega dejanja ni bilo storjenega niti videnega od dneva, ko so Izraelovi otroci prišli gor iz egiptovske dežele, do današnjega dne. Preudarite o tem, sprejmite nasvet in govorite svojim umom.«
