< 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.
И бысть в тыя дни не бяше царя во Израили: и бысть муж левитин живый во стране горы Ефремовы, и поя себе жену подложницу от Вифлеема Иудина:
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.
и разгневася нань подложница его, и отиде от него в дом отца своего в Вифлеем Иудин, и бе тамо четыри месяцы:
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.
и воста муж ея и иде вслед ея глаголати в сердце ея, обратити ю к себе и привести паки к себе: и отрок его с ним, и двое ослят: она же введе его в дом отца своего:
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.
и виде его отец отроковицы и изыде с веселием во сретение его, и удержа его тесть его отец отроковицы, и пребысть с ним три дни, и ядоша и пиша, и спаша тамо.
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.'
И бысть в день четвертый, и обутреша заутра, и воста поити. И рече отец отроковицы к зятю своему: укрепи сердце твое укрухом хлеба, и по сем пойдете.
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.'
И седоша, и ядоша оба вкупе и пиша. И рече отец отроковицы к мужу: иди ныне и преспи, и возблажает сердце твое.
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
И воста муж поити: и понуди его тесть его, и седе, и пребысть тамо.
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.
И воста рано в пятый день да идет. И рече отец отроковицы: укрепи убо сердце твое хлебом, и пребуди дондеже преклонится день. И ядоша и пиша оба.
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.'
И воста муж да идет сам и подложница его и отрок его. И рече ему тесть его отец отроковицы: се, уже преклонися день к вечеру, пребуди зде, и возблажает сердце твое, и обутреете утро в путь ваш, и отидеши в селение свое.
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.
И не изволи муж пребыти, и воста и отиде: и прииде даже прямо Иевусу, сей есть Иерусалим, и с ним двое ослят с бремены, и подложница его с ним.
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.'
И приидоша до Иевуса, и день преклонися к вечеру зело: и рече отрок ко господину своему: гряди убо, да уклонимся во град сей Иевус и пребудем в нем.
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.'
И рече к нему господин его: не уклонимся во град чуждь, в немже несть от сынов Израилевых, но прейдем до Гаваона.
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.'
И рече ко отроку своему: гряди, да приступим ко единому от мест Гаваонских и пребудем в Гаваоне или в Раме.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
И минуша, и идоша, и зайде им солнце близ Гаваона, иже есть Вениаминь:
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.
и уклонишася тамо внити превитати в Гаваоне, и внидоша и седоша на стогнах града: и не бе муж вводяй их в дом превитати.
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.
И се, муж стар идяше с дела своего из поля в вечер, и сей муж от горы Ефремли, и той обиташе в Гаваоне: и мужие места сынове Вениамини.
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?'
И возвед очи свои, виде мужа путника на стогнах градных, и рече муж старец: камо идеши и откуду грядеши?
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.
И рече к нему: грядем мы от Вифлеема Иудина даже до стран горы Ефремли, отюнудуже аз есмь: и ходих до Вифлеема Иудина, и иду аз в дом мой: и несть мужа вводящаго мя в дом:
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.'
а плевы и пища ослятом нашым есть, и мне хлеб и вино есть, и отроковице и отроку: рабом твоим несть скудно ни коея вещи.
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.'
И рече муж стар: мир тебе: и весь недостаток твой на мне, обаче на стогнах не лязи.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
И введе его в дом свой, и даде место ослятом его: и омыша ноги своя, и ядоша и пиша.
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.'
Егда же возвеселися сердце их, и се, мужие градстии сынове беззаконников обыдоша дом биюще в двери, и реша мужу господину дому старцу, глаголюще: изведи мужа иже вниде в дом твой, да познаем его.
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.
И изыде к ним муж господин дому и рече: ни, братия, не сотворите зла мужу сему повнегда внити ему в дом мой, и не сотворите безумия сего:
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.'
се, дщерь моя дева, и подложница его: изведу их, и смирите их, и сотворите им еже благо пред очима вашима: а мужу сему не сотворите словесе безумия сего.
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.
И не изволиша мужие послушати его. И взя муж подложницу его и изведе ю к ним вон: и познаша ю и ругашася над нею всю нощь даже до утра, и отпустиша ю, егда взыде денница.
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.
И прииде жена к заутрию, и паде у дверий дому, идеже бяше муж ея, до разсветания.
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.
И воста муж ея заутра, и отверзе двери дому и изыде поити в путь свой: и се, жена его подложница лежаше при дверех дому, и руце ея на преддверии.
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.
И рече к ней: востани, да идем. И не отвеща ему, бяше бо мертва. И возложи ю на осля, и воста муж и пойде на место свое.
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.
И прииде в дом свой, и взя нож, и взя подложницу свою, и раздроби ю по удесем ея на дванадесять частей, и посла я во вся племена Израилева.
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.'
И бысть всяк видящий глаголаше: не бысть, ни видено бе сице от дне изшествия сынов Израилевых от земли Египетския даже до дне сего. И заповеда мужем, ихже посла, глаголя: сице глаголите ко всему Израилю: аще бысть по словеси сему? Уставите сами себе о ней совет и глаголите.
