< 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,
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha tsy nisy mpanjaka teo amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nisy Levita anankiray nivahiny tary an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, ka naka vaditsindrano avy any Betlehema-joda.
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.
Ary ny vaditsindranony nijangajanga sy nisintaka taminy ka nandao azy ary nankany an-tranon-drainy any Betlehema-joda, dia nitoetra tao efa-bolana mipaka.
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.
Ary niainga ralehilahy ka nandeha nanaraka azy hanao teny malefaka taminy hampody azy ary nitondra ny zatovony sy boriky roa; dia nampiantranoin-dravehivavy ho ao an-tranon-drainy izy, ka nony hitan’ ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy, dia faly izy nihaona taminy.
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.
Ary nihazona azy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, ka nitoetra teo aminy hateloana izy, dia nihinana sy nisotro ary nandry tao izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahefatra, dia nifoha maraina koa izy ka niomana handeha; fa hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin’ ny vinantony: Aoka aloha mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ianareo.
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.
Dia nipetraka izy roa lahy ka niara-nihinana sy nisotro; dia hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin-dralehilahy: Mba maneke ny handry eto anio alina, ary aoka ho faly ny fonao.
7 And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
Ary raha niomana handeha ralehilahy, dia nanery azy hitoetra ny rafozany, ka dia tafandriana tao indray izy.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina koa izy handeha nony tamin’ ny andro fahadimy; fa hoy ny rain-drazavazavy: Aoka mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary mijanonjanona aloha mandra-pihilan’ ny andro; ary dia niara-nihinana izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary raha niainga handeha ralehilahy sy ny vaditsindranony ary ny ankizilahiny, dia hoy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, taminy Indro, efa ho hariva ny andro izao, koa masìna ianao, mandria re anio alina; indro, efa hilentika ny masoandro, ka mandria eto, mba hifalian’ ny fonao; ary rahampitso dia hifoha maraina koa ianareo, ka handeha hody ianao.
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.
Fa tsy nety nijanona intsony ralehilahy tamin’ izany alina izany, fa niainga ihany izy ka nandeha, dia tonga tandrifin’ i Jebosa (Jerosalema izany); ary boriky roa samy voaisy lasely no nentiny, ary ny vaditsindranony niaraka taminy koa.
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.
Ary rehefa mby teo akaiky an’ i Jebosa izy, ka efa ho hariva ny andro, dia hoy ny zatovo tamin’ ny tompony: Andeha hiakatra ato amin’ ity tanànan’ ny Jebosita ity isika ka handry ato.
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.
Fa hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsy hiakatra amin’ ny tanànan’ ny olona hafa firenena izay tsy isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely isika, fa handroso ihany ho any Gibea.
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.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Andeha isika hankamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto tanàna ireto, dia any Gibea, na any Rama, ka handry any.
14 So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
Dia nandroso izy ka nandeha; ary raha mbola teo akaiky an’ i Gibea, izay an’ ny Benjamita, izy, dia nilentika ny masoandro.
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.
Ka dia nivily teo izy handeha handry any Gibea; ary niakatra izy ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tanàna; fa tsy nisy olona nampiantrano azy handry tao an-tranony.
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.
Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anti-panahy avy niasa tany an-tsaha nony hariva, sady olona avy any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima koa izy, saingy nitoetra tany Gibea, fa ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanana izany dia Benjamita.
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?
Ary rehefa nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita ilay vahiny teo an-kianjan’ ny tanana, dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Hankaiza moa ianao? Ary avy taiza?
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,
Dia hoy izy taminy: Avy tany Betlehema-joda izahay ka hankarỳ an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, fa any no tany nihaviako; ary nankany Betlehema-joda aho, fa mpankany an-tranon’ i Jehovah; ary tsy misy olona mampiantrano ahy;
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.
kanefa misy mololo sy hanina ihany ho an’ ny borikinay, sady misy mofo sy divay ho ahy sy ny ankizivavinao ary ho an’ ny zatovo manaraka ny mpanomponao: tsy misy zavatra ilainay intsony.
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.
Dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Fiadanana anie ho anao; aoka ho adidiko izay rehetra ilainao, fa aza mandry foana eto an-kianja.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
Dia nitondra azy tany an-tranony izy ka nampihinana ny boriky; dia nanasa tongotra izy ireo ka nihinana sy nisotro.
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.
Ary raha mbola nampifaly ny fony izy, indro, ny mponina tao an-tanàna, olona tena ratsy fanahy, dia nanodidina ny trano ka nandondona mafy ny varavarana ary niteny tamin’ ilay lehilahy anti-panahy tompo-trano hoe: Avoahy ny lehilahy izay niditra ato an-tranonao, mba hahalalanay azy.
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.
Dia nivoaka nankeo aminy ralehilahy tompo-trano ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsia, ry rahalahiko, masìna ianareo, aza manao ratsy; fa tonga ato an-tranoko ity lehilahy ity, koa aza manao izany zavatra fady indrindra izany ianareo.
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.
Indreto ny zanako-vavy virijina sy ny vaditsindranon-dralehilahy, aoka mba ho entiko mivoaka ireo, ka mandria aminy, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakareo; fa aza ity lehilahy ity no anaovanareo izany zavatra fady indrindra izany.
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.
Fa tsy nety nihaino azy ireo lehilahy ireo, ka dia nalain-dralehilahy ilay vaditsindrano ka navoakany taminy teo ala-trano; dia nahalala azy ireo ka nanao ditra taminy mandritra ny alina mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; ary rehefa hiposaka ny masoandro, vao nalefany handeha izy.
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.
Ary rehefa ho maraina ny andro, dia tonga ravehivavy, ka lavo teo am-baravaran’ ny tranon-dralehilahy, izay nitoeran’ ny vadiny, ka nivalandotra teo mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina ralehilahy ka namoha ny varavaran’ ny trano, dia nivoaka handeha tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany; ary, indro, ravehivavy vaditsindranony miampatra eo am-baravaran’ ny trano, ary ny tanany eo amin’ ny tokonana.
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.
Ary hoy ralehilahy taminy: Mitsangàna, andeha isika. Kanjo tsy nisy namaly. Dia nobetain-dralehilahy izy ka nasampiny teo amin’ ny borikiny; dia niainga izy nandeha ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga tao an-tranony izy, dia naka antsy, ka noraisiny ny fatin’ ny vaditsindranony, dia norasainy araka ny famavanin’ ny taolana ho roa ambin’ ny folo toko, ka nampitondrainy eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra.
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.
Ary hoy ity rehetra nahita: Tsy nisy zavatra natao na hita toy izany hatramin’ ny andro niakaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka mandraka androany; hevero izany, samia maka saina, ka ambarao.
