Judges 19
1 Also in those dayes, when there was no king in Israel, a certaine Leuite dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, and tooke to wife a concubine out of Beth-lehem Iudah,
| وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا مَلِكٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَانَ رَجُلٌ لاوِيٌّ مُتَغَرِّباً فِي الْمِنْطَقَةِ النَّائِيَةِ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَاتَّخَذَ لَهُ مَحْظِيَّةً مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ |
2 And his concubine played ye whore there, and went away from him vnto her fathers house to Beth-lehem Iudah, and there continued the space of foure moneths.
| وَلَكِنَّهَا غَضِبَتْ مِنْهُ فَلَجَأَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا حَيْثُ مَكَثَتْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ |
3 And her husband arose and went after her, to speake friendly vnto her, and to bring her againe: he had also his seruant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him vnto her fathers house, and when the yong womans father sawe him, he reioyced of his comming.
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ زَوْجُهَا خَادِمَهُ وَحِمَارَيْنِ وَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا لِيَسْتَرْضِيَهَا، فَدَعَتْهُ لِلدُّخُولِ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا الَّذِي سُرَّ بِلِقَائِهِ. | ٣ |
4 And his father in lawe, the yong womans father reteined him: and he abode with him three dayes: so they did eate and drinke, and lodged there.
| وَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ وَالِدُ الْفَتَاةِ فِي الْبَقَاءِ، فَمَكَثَ مَعَهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَيْثُ أَكَلُوا جَمِيعاً وَشَرِبُوا وَقَضَوْا لَيَالِيَهُمْ هُنَاكَ. | ٤ |
5 And when the fourth day came, they arose earely in the morning, and he prepared to depart: then the yong womans father said vnto his sonne in lawe, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and then go your way.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ قَامَ مُبَكِّراً لِلذِّهَابِ، فَقَالَ وَالِدُ الْفَتَاةِ لِصِهْرِهِ: «كُلْ لُقْمَةَ خُبْزٍ تَسْنِدُ بِها قَلْبَكَ وَمِنْ ثَمَّ تَمْضُونَ» | ٥ |
6 So they sate downe, and did eate and drinke both of them together. And the yong womans father said vnto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tary all night, and let thine heart be merie.
| فَجَلَسَا وَأَكَلا وَشَرِبَا مَعاً، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ حَمُوهُ: «إِنْ رَاقَ لَكَ الأَمْرُ، بِتْ عِنْدَنَا وَلْتَطِبْ نَفْسُكَ». | ٦ |
7 And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
| وَعِنْدَمَا هَمَّ الرَّجُلُ بِالذَّهَابِ أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَمُوهُ، فَرَضَخَ وَقَضَى لَيْلَتَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ |
8 And he arose vp earely the fifth day to depart, and the yong womans father saide, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee: and they taryed vntill after midday, and they both did eate.
| ثُمَّ نَهَضَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مُبَكِّراً تَأَهُّباً لِلرَّحِيلِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الْفَتَاةِ: «تَنَاوَلْ لُقْمَةً تَسْنِدُ بِها قَلْبَكَ، وَانْطَلِقُوا عِنْدَ الْغُرُوبِ». فَبَقِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَأَكَلا مَعاً. | ٨ |
9 Afterwarde when the man arose to depart with his concubine and his seruant, his father in lawe, the yong womans father said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the day draweth towarde euen: I pray you, tary all night: beholde, the sunne goeth to rest: lodge here, that thine heart may be merie, and to morowe get you earely vpon your way, and goe to thy tent.
| ثُمَّ هَبَّ الرَّجُلُ لِلارْتِحَالِ هُوَ وَمَحْظِيَّتُهُ وَغُلامُهُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ حَمُوهُ: «لَقَدْ مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى الْمَغِيبِ، فَبِيتُوا هُنَا وَلْيَطِبْ قَلْبُكَ، وَغَداً تَرْحَلُونَ مُبَكِّرِينَ نَحْوَ خَيْمَتِكَ». | ٩ |
10 But the man would not tarry, but arose and departed, and came ouer against Iebus, (which is Ierusalem) and his two asses laden, and his concubine were with him.
| فَأَبَى الرَّجُلُ الْبَقَاءَ، وَانْطَلَقُوا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى جَاءُوا إِلَى مُقَابِلِ يَبُوسَ الَّتِي هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ وَمَعَهُ حِمَارَانِ مُسْرَجَانِ وَمَحْظِيَّتُهُ. | ١٠ |
11 When they were neere to Iebus, the day was sore spent, and the seruant said vnto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let vs turne into this citie of the Iebusites, and lodge all night there.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ بِجِوَارِ يَبُوسَ وَقَدْ كَادَ النَّهَارُ أَنْ يَغْرُبَ، قَالَ الْخَادِمُ لِسَيِّدِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَدْخُلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ وَنَقْضِي لَيْلَتَنَا فِيهَا». | ١١ |
12 And his master answered him, We will not turne into the citie of strangers that are not of the children of Israel, but we will goe forth to Gibeah.
| فَأَجَابَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: «لا، لَنْ نَدْخُلَ مَدِينَةً غَرِيبَةً لَا يُقِيمُ فِيهَا إِسْرَائِيلِيٌّ وَاحِدٌ، بَلْ لِنَعْبُرْ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ. | ١٢ |
13 And he said vnto his seruant, Come, and let vs drawe neere to one of these places, that wee may lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.
| دَعْنَا نُتَابِعُ تَقَدُّمَنَا فَنَبِيتُ فِي جِبْعَةَ أَوِ الرَّامَةِ». | ١٣ |
14 So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
| وَوَاصَلُوا السَّيْرَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا جِبْعَةَ بِنْيَامِينَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ. | ١٤ |
15 Then they turned thither to goe in and lodge in Gibeah: and when he came, he sate him downe in a streete of the citie: for there was no man that tooke them into his house to lodging.
| فَدَخَلُوا إِلَيْهَا لِيَجِدُوا لَهُمْ مَأْوىً فِيهَا، وَجَلَسُوا فِي سَاحَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَضِفْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ. | ١٥ |
16 And beholde, there came an old man from his work out of the field at euen, and the man was of mount Ephraim, but dwelt in Gibeah: and the men of the place were the children of Iemini.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَجُوزٌ قَادِمٌ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي حَقْلِهِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ. وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ أَصْلاً مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، مُتَغَرِّباً فِي جِبْعَةَ وَأَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ بِنْيَامِينِيِّينَ. | ١٦ |
17 And when he had lift vp his eyes, he sawe a wayfairing man in the streetes of the citie: then this olde man sayde, Whither goest thou, and whence camest thou?
| هَذَا وَجَدَهُمْ جَالِسِينَ فِي سَاحَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتُمْ؟» | ١٧ |
18 And hee answered him, Wee came from Beth-lehem Iudah, vnto the side of Mout Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem Iudah, and go now to the house of the Lord: and no man receiueth mee to house,
| فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسَافِرُ: «نَحْنُ فِي طَرِيقِنَا مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى الْجَانِبِ النَّائِي مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَيْثُ أُقِيمُ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَنَا الآنَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَسْتَضِيفُنِي فِي بَيْتِهِ، | ١٨ |
19 Although we haue straw and prouader for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmayde, and for the boy that is with thy seruant: we lacke nothing.
| مَعَ أَنَّ لَدَيْنَا عَلَفاً وَتِبْناً لِحَمِيرِنَا، وَكَذَلِكَ خُبْزاً لِي وَلأَمَتِكَ وَلِلْغُلامِ، فَلَسْنَا فِي حَاجَةٍ إِلَى شَيْءٍ». | ١٩ |
20 And the olde man sayde, Peace bee with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou finde with me: onely abide not in the streete al night.
| فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ: «أَهْلاً بِكَ فِي بَيْتِي. لَا تَبِتْ فِي السَّاحَةِ، وَأَنَا أُقَدِّمُ لَكَ كُلَّ مَا تَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ». | ٢٠ |
21 So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
| وَاسْتَضَافَهُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَعَلَفَ حَمِيرَهُمْ، فَغَسَلُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ وَتَنَاوَلُوا طَعَاماً وَشَرَاباً. | ٢١ |
22 And as they were making their hearts merie, beholde, the men of the citie, wicked men beset the house round about, and smote at the doore, and spake to this olde man the master of the house saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may knowe him.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يَتَنَادَمُونَ إِذَا بِجَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَوْغَادِ الْمَدِينَةِ يُحَاصِرُونَ الْبَيْتَ طَارِقِينَ عَلَى الْبَابِ صَائِحِينَ بِالرَّجُلِ الشَّيْخِ صَاحِبِ الْمَنْزِلِ: «أَخْرِجْ إِلَيْنَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي اسْتَضَفْتَهُ لِنُعَاشِرَهُ» | ٢٢ |
23 And this man the master of ye house went out vnto the, and said vnto them, Nay my brethre, do not so wickedly, I pray you: seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villenie.
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لا يَا إِخْوَتِي. لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا هَذَا الْعَمَلَ الْمُشِينَ، فَالرَّجُلُ ضَيْفِي وَقَدْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِي. | ٢٣ |
24 Behold, here is my daughter, a virgine, and his concubine: them wil I bring out nowe, and humble them, and doe with them what seemeth you good: but to this man doe not this villenie.
| هُوَذَا ابْنَتِي الْعَذْرَاءُ وَمَحْظِيَّتُهُ، فَدَعُونِي أُخْرِجُهُمَا لَكُمْ فَتَمَتَّعُوا بِهِمَا وَافْعَلُوا مَا يَحْلُو لَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا هَذَا الْعَمَلَ الْقَبِيحَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ». | ٢٤ |
25 But the men woulde not hearken to him: therefore ye man tooke his concubine, and brought her out vnto them: and they knewe her and abused her all the night vnto the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her goe.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ الأَوْغَادَ رَفَضُوا الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيْهِ. فَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الضَّيْفِ إِلّا أَنْ أَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ مَحْظِيَّتَهُ، فَظَلُّوا يَتَنَاوَبُونَ عَلَى اغْتِصَابِهَا طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى انْبِلاجِ الصَّبَاحِ، وَعِنْدَ بُزُوغِ الْفَجْرِ أَطْلَقُوهَا. | ٢٥ |
26 So the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell downe at the doore of the mans house where her Lord was, till the light day.
| وَأَقْبَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الصَّبَاحِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّجُلِ الشَّيْخِ حَيْثُ سَيِّدُهَا مُقِيمٌ، وَتَهَالَكَتْ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ حَتَّى شُرُوقِ النَّهَارِ. | ٢٦ |
27 And her lorde arose in the morning, and opened the doores of the house, and went out to goe his way, and beholde, the woman his concubine was dead at the doore of the house and her handes lay vpon the thresholde.
| فَنَهَضَ سَيِّدُهَا فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَعِنْدَمَا فَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ الْبَيْتِ وَخَرَجَ لِمُتَابَعَةِ طَرِيقِهِ عَثَرَ عَلَى مَحْظِيَّتِهِ سَاقِطَةً عِنْدَ بَابِ الْبَيْتِ، وَيَدَاهَا عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And hee said vnto her, Vp and let vs goe: but shee answered not. Then he tooke her vp vpon the asse, and the man rose vp, and went vnto his place.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «انْهَضِي لِنَذْهَبَ». فَلَمْ تُجِبْهُ (لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ فَارَقَتِ الْحَيَاةَ) فَحَمَلَهَا عَلَى الْحِمَارِ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى حَيْثُ يَقْطُنُ. | ٢٨ |
29 And whe he was come to his house, he took a knife, and laid hand on his concubine, and deuided her in pieces with her bones into twelue parts, and sent her through all quarters of Israel.
| وَمَا إِنْ بَلَغَ بَيْتَهُ حَتَّى تَنَاوَلَ سِكِّيناً، وَشَرَعَ فِي تَقْطِيعِ مَحْظِيَّتِهِ إِلَى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ قِطْعَةً مَعَ عِظَامِهَا، وَوَزَّعَهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢٩ |
30 And all that saw it, said, There was no such thing done or seene since the time that the children of Israel came vp from the lande of Egypt vnto this day: consider the matter, consult and giue sentence.
| فَقَالَ كُلُّ مَنْ شَاهَدَ إِحْدَى هَذِهِ الْقِطَعِ: «لَمْ يُشْهَدْ أَوْ يَحْدُثْ مِثْلُ هَذَا الأَمْرِ مُنْذُ صُعُودِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. فَتَبَصَّرُوا وَتَشَاوَرُوا وَاتَّخِذُوا قَرَاراً». | ٣٠ |
