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,
Yeroo sanatti Israaʼel mootii hin qabdu ture. Lewwichi lafa gammoojjii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessa jiraatu tokko Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessaa dubartii tokko saajjatoo godhatee fudhate.
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.
Isheen garuu isaaf amanamtuu hin taane. Isa dhiiftees gara mana abbaa ishee Beetlihem Yihuudaatti deebite. Erga jiʼa afur achi turtee booddee,
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.
dhirsi ishee araarfatee deebisee galfachuudhaaf gara ishee dhaqe. Innis hojjetaa isaatii fi harroota lama fudhatee deeme. Isheenis mana abbaa isheetti ol isa galchite; abbaan ishees yommuu isa argetti gammachuudhaan isa simate.
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.
Abbaan niitii isaa jechuunis, abbaan intalattii akka inni achi turuuf jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu isaan nyaachaa, dhugaas bultii sadii isa bira bubbulan.
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.
Guyyaa afuraffaatti ganamaan kaʼanii deemuuf qophaaʼan; abbaan intalattii garuu dhirsa intala isaatiin, “Akka jabaatuuf waa nyaadhu; ergasii ni deemtaa” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu lachan isaanii wajjin nyaatanii dhuguuf tataaʼan. Ergasiis abbaan intalattii, “Maaloo harʼa asuma buliitii aara galfadhu” jedheen.
7 And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
Yommuu inni deemuuf kaʼettis abbaan niitii isaa jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni halkan sana achi bule.
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.
Guyyaa shanaffaatti yommuu inni ganamaan deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Aara galfadhu. Hamma waaree booddeettis asuma turi!” isaan jedhe. Kanaafuu lachan isaanii iyyuu wajjin nyaatan.
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.
Yeroo namichi saajjatoo isaatii fi tajaajilaa isaa wajjin deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Ilaali! Aduun dhiʼuutti jirti. Asuma bulaa; guyyaan galgalaaʼeera. Asuma bulaatii aara galfadhaa. Bori ganamaan kaatanii karaa keessan deemuu dandeessu” jedheen.
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.
Namichi garuu gaafa sana achi buluu didee harroota isaa lamaan feʼatee saajjatoo isaa fudhatee qajeele. Gara fuullee Yerusaalem ishee Yebuus jedhamtu sanaa dhufe.
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.
Yommuu isaan Yebuus bira gaʼanitti sababii aduun dhiiteef tajaajilaan sun gooftaa isaatiin, “Maaloo kottaa magaalaa Yebuusotaa kanatti gorree haa bullu” jedhe.
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.
Gooftaan isaas deebisee, “Lakkii. Nu magaalaa Namoota Ormaa warra Israaʼeloota hin taʼinii hin seennu. Gara Gibeʼaatti dabarra” isaan jedhe.
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.
Itti fufees, “Kottu Gibeʼaa yookaan Raamaa geenyee tokkoo isaanii keessa bullaa” jedheen.
14 So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
Kanaafuu deemsa isaanii itti fufanii yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa ishee Beniyaam keessatti argamtutti dhiʼaatanitti aduun dhiite.
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.
Isaanis achi buluuf itti goran. Oobdii magaalaa keessas qubatan; garuu namni tokko iyyuu isaan bulchuuf mana isaatti ol isaan hin galchine.
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.
Galgaluma sana jaarsi biyya gaaraa Efreemiitii dhufee Gibeʼaa jiraatu tokko hojii qonnaatii gale. Namoonni biyyattii garuu gosa Beniyaam turan.
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?
Jaarsi sun yommuu ol jedhee oobdii magaalaa keessatti kara deemaa sana argetti, “Ati garam deemta? Eessaa dhufte?” jedhee gaafate.
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,
Lewwichis akkana jedhe; “Nu Beetlihem Yihuudaatii dhufnee gara lafa moggaa biyya gaaraa Efreem iddoo ani jiraadhuu dhaquuf deemna. Ani achi dhaqee ture. Ani amma gara mana Waaqayyoo dhaqaan jira. Namni mana isaatti na simate tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
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.
Nu tajaajiltoonni kee harroota keenyaaf cidii fi okaa qabna; anaa fi tajaajiltuu keetiif, dargaggeessa nu wajjin jiruufis buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii qabna. Nu waan tokko illee hin barbaannu.”
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.
Jaarsichis, “Nagaan siif haa taʼu; ani waan isin barbaachisu hundumaa isiniif nan dhiʼeessa; isin garuu oobdii keessa hin bulinaa” jedheen.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
Kanaafuu inni gara mana isaatti ol isa galchee harroota isaatiif waan nyaatan kenne. Isaanis erga miilla isaanii dhiqatanii booddee nyaatanii dhugan.
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.
Utuu isaan gammadaa jiranuu kashlabboonni magaalaa sanaa tokko tokko mana jaarsichaa marsan. Balbalas dhadhaʼanii iyyuudhaan, “Akka nu isatti sagaagalluuf namicha mana kee seene sana gad nuu baasi” jedhaniin.
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.
Abbaan manichaas gad baʼee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Lakkisaa yaa firoota ko, hammina akkasii hin hojjetinaa; namichi kun waan keessummaa koo taʼeef waan jibbisiisaa kana hin hojjetinaa.
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.
Kunoo intalli koo durbi qulqulluunii fi saajjatoon namichaa as jiru. Ani isaan gad isinii baasaatii waan feetan isaan godhaa. Namicha kanatti garuu waan jibbisiisaa akkasii hin hojjetinaa.”
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.
Taʼus isaan isa hin dhageenye. Kanaafuu Lewwichi saajjatoo isaa gad isaanii baase; isaanis halkan guutuu isheetti taphatanii ganama barii gad ishee dhiisan.
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.
Akkuma lafti bariiteenis dubartiin sun gara mana gooftaan ishee ture sanaa dhaqxee balbala duratti kuftee hamma biiftuun baatutti achumatti diriirtee hafte.
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.
Yommuu gooftaan ishee ganama barii kaʼee deemuuf balbala banee gad baʼetti, kunoo saajjatoon isaa kuftee harka ishee gulantaa balbalaa irratti diriirsitee arge.
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.
Innis, “Kaʼi ni deemnaa” isheen jedhe. Garuu deebiin tokko illee hin turre. Kana irratti namichi sun harree irra ishee kaaʼee gara mana isaatti qajeele.
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.
Innis yommuu mana isaa gaʼetti haaduu fudhatee saajjatoo isaa sana buusaa buusaatti iddoo kudha lamatti kukkutee guutummaa biyya Israaʼelitti erge.
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.
Namni waan kana arge hundi, “Erga Israaʼeloonni Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee wanni akkasii takkumaa argamee yookaan hojjetamee hin beeku. Waaʼee isaa yaadaa! Hubadhaas! Waan gochuu qabnus nutti himaa!” jedhe.
