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.
其頃イスラエルに王なかりし時にあたりてエフライムの山の奧に一人のレビ人寄寓をりベテレヘムユダより一人の婦人をとりて妾となしたるに
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.
その妾彼に背きて姦淫を爲し去てベテレヘムユダなるその父の家にかへり其所に四月といふ日をおくれり
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.
是に於てその夫彼をなだめて携かへらんとてその僕と二頭の驢馬をしたがへ起てかれの後をしたひゆきければその父の家に之を導きいたりしに女の父これを見て之に遇ことを悦こべり
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.
而してその女の父なる外舅彼をひきとめたれば則ち三日これと共に居り皆食飮して其所に宿りしが
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.'
四日におよびて朝早く起あがり彼たちて去んとしければ女の父その婿に言ふ少許の食物をもて汝の心を強くして然る後に去れよと
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.'
二人すなはち坐りて共に食飮しけるが女の父その人にいひけるは請ふ幸に今一夜を明し汝の心を樂ましめよと
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
其人起て去んとしけるに外舅これを強たれば遂に復其所に宿り
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.
五日におよびて朝はやく起いでて去んとしたるに女の父これに言けるは請ふ汝の心を強くせよと是をもて日の昃るまでとどまりて共に食をなしけるが
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.'
其人つひに妾および僕とともに去んとて起あがりければ女の父彼に言ふ視よ今は日暮なんとす請ふ今一夜を明されよ視よ日昃たり汝此にやどりて汝の心をたのしませ明日蚤く起て出たち汝の家にいたれよと
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.
然るに其人止宿ることを肯はずして起て去りヱブスの對面に至れり是はエルサレムなり鞍おける二の驢馬彼とともにあり妾も彼とともなりき
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.'
彼らヱブスの近傍にをる時日はや沒んとしければ僕その主人にいひけるは請ふ來れ我等身をめぐらしてヱブス人の此邑にいりて其所に宿らんと
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.'
その主人これに言けるは我等は彼所に身をめぐらしてイスラエルの子孫の邑ならざる外國の人の邑にいるべからずギベアに進みゆかんと
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.'
すなはちその僕にいひけるは來れ我らギベアかラマか是等の處の一に就て止宿んと
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
皆すすみ往きけるがベニヤミンのギベアの近邊にて日暮たれば
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.
ギベアにゆきて宿らんとて其所に身をめぐらし入て邑の衢に坐しけるに誰も彼を家に接て宿らしむる者なかりき
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.
時に一人の老人日暮に田野の働作をやめて歸りきたる此人はエフライム山の者にしてギベアに寄寓れるなり但し此處の人はベニヤミン人なり
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?'
彼目をあげて旅人の邑の衢にをるを見たり老人すなはちいひけるは汝は何所にゆくなるや何所より來れるやと
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.
その人これにいひけるは我らはベテレヘムユダよりエフライム山の奧におもむく者なり我は彼所の者にて旣にベテレヘムユダにゆき今ヱホバの室に詣らんとするなるが誰もわれを家に接ものあらず
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.'
然ど驢馬の藁も飼蒭もあり又我と汝の婢および僕等とともなる少者の用ふべき食物も酒も在て何も事缺るところなし
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.'
老人いひけるは願くは汝安かれ汝が需むる者は我そなへん唯衢に宿るなかれと
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
かれをその家に携れ驢馬に飼ふ彼らすなはち足をあらひて食飮せしが
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.'
その心を樂ませをる時にあたりて邑の人々の邪なる者その家をとりかこみ戸を打たたきて家の主人なる老人に言ふ汝の家にきたれる人をひき出せ我らこれを犯さんと
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.
是に於て家の主人なる人かれらの所にいでゆきてこれに言けるは否わが兄弟よ惡をなす勿れ此人すでにわが家にいりたればこの愚なる事をなすなかれ
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.'
我が處女なる女と此人の妾とあるにより我これを今つれいだすべければ汝らかれらを辱しめ汝等の好むところをこれに爲せ唯この人には斯る愚なる事を爲すなかれと
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.
然るにその人々これを聽いれざるにより其人その妾をとりてこれを彼らの所にいだしやりければすなはちこれを犯して朝にいたるまで終夜これを辱しめ日のいづる頃にいたりて釋てり
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.
是をもて婦黎明にきたりてその夫のをる彼人の家の門に仆れ夜のあくるまで其處に臥をる
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.
その主朝におよびておきいで家の戸をひらきて出去んとせしがその妾の婦の家の門にたふれをりて手を閾の上におくを見ければ
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.
これにむかひ起よ我ら出往んと言たれども何の答もあらざりき是によりてその人これを驢馬にのせたちて己の所におもむきしが
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.
家にいたるにおよびて刀をとり其妾を執へて骨ぐるみこれを十二分にたちわりて之をイスラエルの四方の境におくりければ
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.'
之を見る者皆いふイスラエルの子孫がエジプトの地より出のぼりし日より今日にいたるまで斯のごとき事は行はれしことなく見えしことなし思をめぐらし相議りて言ふことをせよ
