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.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì Israẹli kò ní ọba. Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí ń gbé ibi tí ó sá pamọ́ nínú àwọn agbègbè òkè Efraimu, mú àlè kan láti Bẹtilẹhẹmu ní Juda.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àlè rẹ̀ náà sì ṣe panṣágà sí i, òun fi sílẹ̀, ó sì padà lọ sí ilé baba rẹ̀ ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Juda, ó sì wà ní ibẹ̀ ní ìwọ̀n oṣù mẹ́rin,
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.
ọkọ rẹ̀ lọ sí ibẹ̀ láti rọ̀ ọ́ pé kí ó padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ òun. Nígbà tí ó ń lọ ó mú ìránṣẹ́ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ méjì lọ́wọ́, obìnrin náà mú un wọ inú ilé baba rẹ̀ lọ, nígbà tí baba obìnrin náà rí i ó fi tayọ̀tayọ̀ gbà á.
4 Her father pressed him to stay with them, so he remained for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there.
Àna rẹ̀, baba ọmọbìnrin náà rọ̀ ọ́, ó sì borí rẹ̀ láti dá a dúró fún ìgbà díẹ̀, òun sì dúró fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, ó ń jẹ, ó ń mu, ó sì ń sùn níbẹ̀.
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.”
Ní ọjọ́ kẹrin, wọ́n dìde ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù òun sì múra láti padà lọ, ṣùgbọ́n baba ọmọbìnrin náà wí fún àna rẹ̀ pé, “Fi ohun jíjẹ díẹ̀ gbé inú ró nígbà náà kí ìwọ máa lọ.”
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!”
Àwọn méjèèjì sì jùmọ̀ jókòó láti jọ jẹun àti láti jọ mu. Lẹ́yìn èyí ni baba ọmọbìnrin wí pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ dúró ní alẹ́ yìí kí o sì gbádùn ara rẹ.”
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.
Nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà dìde láti máa lọ, baba ìyàwó rẹ̀ rọ̀ ọ́, torí náà ó sùn níbẹ̀ ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà.
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.
Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ karùn-ún nígbà tí ó dìde láti lọ, baba ọmọbìnrin wí pé, “Fi oúnjẹ gbé ara ró. Dúró de ọ̀sán!” Àwọn méjèèjì sì jùmọ̀ jọ jẹun.
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.”
Nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà, pẹ̀lú àlè àti ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, dìde láti máa lọ, àna rẹ̀, baba ọmọbìnrin náà ní, “Wò ó ilẹ̀ ti ń ṣú lọ, dúró níbí, ọjọ́ ti lọ. Dúró kí o sì gbádùn ara rẹ. Ìwọ lè jí ní àárọ̀ kùtùkùtù ọ̀la kí ìwọ sì máa lọ ilé.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí pé òun kò fẹ́ dúró mọ́ níbẹ̀ ní òru náà ọkùnrin náà kúrò ó sì gba ọ̀nà Jebusi: ọ̀nà Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì tí ó fi dì í ní gàárì àti àlè rẹ̀.
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?”
Nígbà tí wọ́n súnmọ́ Jebusi tí ilẹ̀ ti fẹ́ ṣú tan, ìránṣẹ́ náà sọ fún ọ̀gá rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a dúró ní ìlú yìí tí í ṣe ti àwọn ará Jebusi kí a sì sùn níbẹ̀.”
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.”
Ọ̀gá rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Rárá o, àwa kì yóò wọ ìlú àwọn àjèjì, àwọn tí olùgbé ibẹ̀ kì í ṣe ọmọ Israẹli, a yóò dé Gibeah.”
13 Then he told his servant, “Come on, let's try and get to Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night somewhere there.”
Ó fi kún un pé, ẹ wá ẹ jẹ́ kí a gbìyànjú kí a dé Gibeah tàbí Rama kí a sùn ní ọ̀kan nínú wọn.
14 So they carried on and reached Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin just as the sun was setting.
Wọ́n sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò wọn, oòrùn wọ̀ bí wọ́n ti súnmọ́ Gibeah tí ṣe ti àwọn Benjamini.
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.
Wọ́n yípadà wọ́n lọ sí inú ìlú Gibeah láti wọ̀ síbẹ̀ ní òru náà, wọ́n lọ wọ́n sì jókòó níbi gbọ̀ngàn ìlú náà, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹni tí ó gbà wọ́n sínú ilé rẹ̀ láti wọ̀ sí.
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.
Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà ọkùnrin arúgbó kan láti àwọn òkè Efraimu, ṣùgbọ́n tí ń gbé ní Gibeah (ibẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹ̀yà Benjamini ń gbé) ń ti ibi iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ bọ̀ láti inú oko.
17 He looked over and noticed the traveler in the square and asked, “Where are you going and where have you come from?”
Nígbà tí ó wòkè ó rí arìnrìn-àjò náà ní gbọ̀ngàn ìlú náà, ọkùnrin arúgbó yìí bi í léèrè pé, “Níbo ni ò ń lọ? Níbo ni o ti ń bọ̀?”
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.
Ọmọ Lefi náà dá a lóhùn pé, “Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Juda ni àwa ti ń bọ̀, àwa sì ń lọ sí agbègbè tí ó sá pamọ́ ní àwọn òkè Efraimu níbi ti mo ń gbé. Mo ti lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Juda, èmi sì ń lọ sí ilé Olúwa nísinsin yìí. Kò sí ẹni tí ó gbà mí sí ilé rẹ̀.
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.”
Àwa ní koríko àti oúnjẹ tó tó fún àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wa àti oúnjẹ àti wáìnì fún àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ—èmi, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ àti ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wa. A ò ṣe aláìní ohun kankan.”
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.”
Ọkùnrin arúgbó náà sì wí pé. “Àlàáfíà fún ọ, bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, èmi yóò pèsè gbogbo ohun tí o nílò, kìkì pé kí ìwọ má ṣe sun ní ìgboro.”
21 He took him home and fed the donkeys. The travelers washed their feet and then started to eat and drink.
Òun sì mú wa sí ilé rẹ̀, ó ń bọ́ àwọn kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ̀. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti wẹ ẹsẹ̀ wọn, àwọn àlejò náà jẹ, wọ́n mu.
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.”
Ǹjẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ń ṣe àríyá, kíyèsi i, àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà, àwọn ọmọ Beliali kan, yí ilé náà ká, wọ́n sì ń lu ìlẹ̀kùn; wọ́n sì sọ fún baálé ilé náà ọkùnrin arúgbó náà pé, “Mú ọkùnrin tí ó wọ̀ sínú ilé rẹ wá, kí àwa lè mọ̀ ọ́n.”
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!
Ọkùnrin, baálé ilé náà sì jáde tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi, èmi bẹ̀ yín, ẹ má ṣe hùwà búburú; nítorí tí ọkùnrin yìí ti wọ ilé mi, ẹ má ṣe hùwà òmùgọ̀ yìí.
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.”
Kíyèsi i, ọmọbìnrin mi ni èyí, wúńdíá, àti àlè rẹ̀; àwọn ni èmi ó mú jáde wá nísinsin yìí, kí ẹ̀yin tẹ̀ wọ́n lógo, kí ẹ̀yin ṣe sí wọn bí ó ti tọ́ lójú yín: ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin yìí ni kí ẹ̀yin má ṣe hùwà òmùgọ̀ yìí sí.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin náà kò fetí sí tirẹ̀. Nítorí náà ọkùnrin náà mú àlè rẹ̀ ó sì tari rẹ̀ jáde sí wọn, wọ́n sì bá a fi ipá lòpọ̀, wọ́n sì fi gbogbo òru náà bá a lòpọ̀, nígbà tí ó di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ wọ́n jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ́.
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.

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.
Nígbà tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ jí tí ó sì dìde ní òwúrọ̀ tí ó sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ilé náà, tí ó sì bọ́ sí òde láti tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀, kíyèsi i àlè rẹ̀ wà ní ṣíṣubú ní iwájú ilé, tí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sì di òpó ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibẹ̀ mú,
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.

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.
Nígbà tí ó dé ilé, ó mú ọ̀bẹ ó sì gé àlè rẹ̀ ní oríkeríke sí ọ̀nà méjìlá, ó sì fi wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli.
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!”
Gbogbo ẹni tí ó rí i sì wí pé, “A kò ti rí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ a kò tí ì ṣe irú nǹkan yìí rí, kì í ṣe láti ọjọ́ tí Israẹli ti jáde tí Ejibiti wá títí di òní olónìí. Ẹ rò ó wò, ẹ gbìmọ̀ràn, kí ẹ sọ fún wa ohun tí a yóò ṣe!”
