Judges 19
1 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem in Judah.
Alò, li te vin rive nan jou sa yo, pandan pa t gen wa an Israël, ke te gen yon sèten Levit ki te rete nan zòn izole nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm nan. Li te pran yon mennaj pou kont li, ki soti nan Bethléhem nan Juda.
2 And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Beth-lehem in Judah, and was there the space of four months.
Men mennaj li a te jwe pwostitiye kont li. Li te kite li pou rive lakay papa l nan Bethléhem nan Juda e li te rete la pandan yon kat mwa.
3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly unto her, to bring her back, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses; and she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Epi mari li te leve swiv li, pou pale dousman avè l pou fè l tounen e te pran avè l sèvitè li a, ak yon pè bourik. Konsa, fi a te mennen li antre lakay papa l. Lè papa l te wè l, li te byen kontan rankontre li.
4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days; so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
Bòpè li a, papa a fi a te fè l fè reta. Li te rete avè l pandan twa jou konsa. La yo te manje, bwè e loje.
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; and the damsel's father said unto his son-in-law: 'Stay thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye shall go your way.'
Alò, nan katriyèm jou a, yo te leve granmmaten e yo te prepare pou sòti. Papa a fi a te di a bofi li: “Fòtifye ou menm avèk yon mòso pen pou, apre, nou kapab ale.”
6 So they sat down, and did eat and drink, both of them together; and the damsel's father said unto the man: 'Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry.'
Konsa, toude te chita manje e bwè ansanm; epi papa a fi a te di nonm nan: “Souple, vin dakò pou pase nwit lan e fè kè ou kontan.”
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Alò, nonm nan te leve pou pati, men bòpè li te ankouraje li. Konsa, li te pase nwit lan la ankò.
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel's father said: 'Stay thy heart, I pray thee, and tarry ye until the day declineth'; and they did eat, both of them.
Nan senkyèm jou a, li te leve pati bonè nan maten. Men papa a fi a te di: “Souple, soutni nou e tann pou jiska apremidi.” Konsa, yo toude te manje.
9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said unto him: 'Behold, now the day draweth toward evening; tarry, I pray you, all night; behold, the day groweth to an end; lodge here, that thy heart may be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.'
Lè nonm nan te leve ansanm avèk mennaj li ak sèvitè li a, bòpè li te di li: “Men gade, jou a prèt pou rive; souple, pase nwit lan isit la pou kè ou kapab kontan. Epi demen ou kapab leve bonè pou vwayaje ale lakay ou.”
10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus — the same is Jerusalem; and there were with him a couple of asses saddled; his concubine also was with him.
Men nonm nan pa t dakò pase nwit lan. Konsa, li te leve sòti pou te rive nan lye anfas Jebus (sa vle di, Jérusalem). Li te gen avè l de bourik sele; mennaj li a te avè l tou.
11 When they were by Jebus — the day was far spent — the servant said unto his master: 'Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.'
Lè yo te toupre Jebus, jou a te prèt fini; epi sèvitè te di a mèt li: “Souple, vini e annou vire akote antre vil ki pou Jebizyen yo pou pase nwit lan ladann.”
12 And his master said unto him: 'We will not turn aside into the city of a foreigner, that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.'
Men mèt li a te di li: “Nou p ap vire akote antre nan vil etranje ki pa fè pati a fis Israël yo; men nou va kontinye rive jis Guibea.”
13 And he said unto his servant: 'Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.'
Li te di a sèvitè li: “Vini e annou pwoche youn nan kote sa yo. Nou va pase nwit lan nan Guibea oswa Rama.”
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Konsa, yo te kontinye fè wout yo. Solèy la te kouche sou yo toupre Guibea, ki pou Benjamin.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gibeah; and he went in, and sat him down in the broad place of the city; for there was no man that took them into his house to lodge.
Yo te vire akote la pou antre rete nan Guibea. Lè yo te antre, yo te chita nan mache ki pou vil la, pwiske pèsòn pa t pran yo antre lakay yo pou pase nwit lan.
16 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even; now the man was of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Alò, vwala, yon mesye granmoun t ap sòti nan chan travay li nan aswè. Alò, mesye a te sòti nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, e li t ap viv Guibea, men mesye kote sa yo se te Benjamit yo te ye.
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the broad place of the city; and the old man said: 'Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?'
Konsa, li te leve zye li pou te wè vwayajè yo nan mitan mache vil la. Epi granmoun nan te di: “Kibò nou prale e kibò nou sòti?”
18 And he said unto him: 'We are passing from Beth-lehem in Judah unto the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim; from thence am I, and I went to Beth-lehem in Judah, and I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that taketh me into his house.
Li te di: “N ap pase soti Bethléhem nan Juda pou rive kote ki pi izole nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, paske se la mwen sòti e mwen te ale Bethléhem nan Juda. Men koulye a, se lakay mwen mwen prale e nanpwen moun k ap ban m plas.
19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man that is with thy servants; there is no want of any thing.'
Men m gen pay ak manje pou bourik nou yo e osi, pen avèk diven pou mwen, sèvant ou, e jennonm ki avèk sèvitè ou yo. Nanpwen anyen ki manke.”
20 And the old man said: 'Peace be unto thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the broad place.'
Granmoun nan te di: “Lapè avèk nou. Sèlman, kite mwen okipe tout bezwen nou yo; sèlman, pa pase nwit lan sou plas la.”
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
Konsa, li te pran li lantre lakay li e li te bay bourik yo manje. Yo te lave pye yo e te manje ak bwè.
22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying: 'Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.'
Pandan yo t ap fete, veye byen, mesye lavil yo, kèk sanzave, te vin antoure kay la. Yo te kòmanse frape pòt la, epi yo te pale avèk mèt kay la, granmoun nan, e te di: “Mennen fè sòti nonm ki te antre lakay ou a pou nou kapab gen relasyon seksyèl avèk li.”
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them: 'Nay, my brethren, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this wanton deed.
Alò, nonm nan, mèt kay la, te parèt deyò kote yo, e te di yo: “Non, zanmi mwen yo, souple pa aji mal konsa! Akoz nonm sa a te antre lakay mwen, pa vin fè yon zak bèt parèy konsa!
24 Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; I will bring them out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you; but unto this man do not so wanton a thing.'
Men fi vyèj mwen an ak sèvant li an; souple, kite mwen fè yo sòti pou nou kapab kouche avèk yo e fè sa ke nou pito. Men pa fè zak bèt sa a kont nonm sa a!”
25 But the men would not hearken to him; so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning; and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Men mesye yo te refize koute li. Epi nonm nan te sezi ti mennaj li a, li te mennen li deyò kote yo. Konsa, yo te vyole li e te abize li tout lannwit jis rive nan maten, e yo te lage li lè solèy prèt leve.
26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Lè jou te kòmanse vin parèt, fanm nan te vin tonbe devan pòtay kay a mesye a kote mèt la te ye a jiskaske solèy fin klere nèt.
27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
Lè mèt li te leve nan maten e te louvri pòt la pou fè wout li, alò vwala, mennaj li an te kouche devan pòtay kay la, avèk men li sou papòt kay la.
28 And he said unto her. 'Up, and let us be going'; but none answered; then he took her up upon the ass; and the man rose up, and got him unto his place.
Li te di li: “Leve non, annou ale.” Men pa t gen repons. Alò, li te mete kadav li sou bourik la, epi nonm nan te leve ale lakay li.
29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
Lè li te antre lakay li, li te pran yon kouto, li te mete men li sou mennaj li a e te koupe li fè douz mòso, manm pa manm e te ranvoye li toupatou nan tout teritwa Israël la.
30 And it was so, that all that saw it said: 'Such a thing hath not happened nor been seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day; consider it, take counsel, and speak.'
Tout sa ki te wè l te di: “Anyen parèy a sa pa t janm fèt, ni pa t konn wè depi jou ke fis Israël yo te monte sòti an peyi Égypte la jis jodi a. Reflechi sou sa, pran konsèy e pale klè.”
