Judges 19
1 And there was a Levite sojourning in the sides of mount Ephraim, and he took to himself a concubine from Bethleem Juda.
| وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ حِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَلِكٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كَانَ رَجُلٌ لَاوِيٌّ مُتَغَرِّبًا فِي عِقَابِ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، فَٱتَّخَذَ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً سُرِّيَّةً مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ |
2 And his concubine departed from him, and went away from him to the house of her father to Bethleem Juda, and she was there four months.
| فَزَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُرِّيَّتُهُ وَذَهَبَتْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ أَيَّامًا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. | ٢ |
3 And her husband rose up, and went after her to speak kindly to her, to recover her to himself; and he had his young man with him, and a pair of asses; and she brought him into the house of her father; and the father of the damsel saw him, and was well pleased to meet him.
| فَقَامَ رَجُلُهَا وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهَا لِيُطَيِّبَ قَلْبَهَا وَيَرُدَّهَا، وَمَعَهُ غُلَامُهُ وَحِمَارَانِ. فَأَدْخَلَتْهُ بَيْتَ أَبِيهَا. فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ فَرِحَ بِلِقَائِهِ. | ٣ |
4 And his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, constrained him, and he stayed with him for three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
| وَأَمْسَكَهُ حَمُوهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ، فَمَكَثَ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا وَبَاتُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٤ |
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day that they rose early, and he stood up to depart; and the father of the damsel said to his son-in-law, Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards you shall go.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِعِ أَنَّهُمْ بَكَّرُوا صَبَاحًا وَقَامَ لِلذَّهَابِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِصِهْرِهِ: «أَسْنِدْ قَلْبَكَ بِكِسْرَةِ خُبْزٍ، وَبَعْدُ تَذْهَبُونَ». | ٥ |
6 So they two sat down together and ate and drank: and the father of the damsel said to her husband, Tarry now the night, and let your heart be merry.
| فَجَلَسَا وَأَكَلَا كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا وَشَرِبَا. وَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِلرَّجُلِ: «ٱرْتَضِ وَبِتْ، وَلْيَطِبْ قَلْبُكَ». | ٦ |
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law constrained him, and he stayed and lodged there.
| وَلَمَّا قَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِلذَّهَابِ، أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ حَمُوهُ فَعَادَ وَبَاتَ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ |
8 And he rose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the father of the damsel said, Strengthen now your heart, and quit yourself as a soldier till the day decline; and the two ate.
| ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ فِي ٱلْغَدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسِ لِلذَّهَابِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ: «أَسْنِدْ قَلْبَكَ، وَتَوَانَوْا حَتَّى يَمِيلَ ٱلنَّهَارُ». وَأَكَلَا كِلَاهُمَا. | ٨ |
9 And the man rose up to depart, he and his concubine, and his young man; but his father-in-law the father of the damsel said to him, Behold now, the day has declined toward evening; lodge here, an let your heart rejoice; and you shall rise early to-morrow for your journey, and you shall go to your habitation.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ لِلذَّهَابِ هُوَ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ وَغُلَامُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ حَمُوهُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ: «إِنَّ ٱلنَّهَارَ قَدْ مَالَ إِلَى ٱلْغُرُوبِ. بِيتُوا ٱلْآنَ. هُوَذَا آخِرُ ٱلنَّهَارِ. بِتْ هُنَا وَلْيَطِبْ قَلْبُكَ، وَغَدًا تُبَكِّرُونَ فِي طَرِيقِكُمْ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خَيْمَتِكَ». | ٩ |
10 But the man would not lodge there, but he arose and departed, and came to the part opposite Jebus, (this is Jerusalem, ) and [there was] with him a pair of asses saddled, and his concubine [was] with him.
| فَلَمْ يُرِدِ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَبِيتَ، بَلْ قَامَ وَذَهَبَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى مُقَابِلِ يَبُوسَ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَمَعَهُ حِمَارَانِ مَشْدُودَانِ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ مَعَهُ. | ١٠ |
11 And they came as far as Jebus: and the day had far advanced, and the young man said to his master, Come, I pray you, and let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites, and let us lodge in it.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ عِنْدَ يَبُوسَ وَٱلنَّهَارُ قَدِ ٱنْحَدَرَ جِدًّا، قَالَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لِسَيِّدِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَمِيلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ هَذِهِ وَنَبِيتُ فِيهَا». | ١١ |
12 And his master said to him, We will not turn aside to a strange city, where there is not one of the children of Israel, but we will pass on as far as Gabaa.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: «لَا نَمِيلُ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَا. نَعْبُرُ إِلَى جِبْعَةَ». | ١٢ |
13 And he said to his young man, Come, and let us draw near to one of the places, and we will lodge in Gabaa or in Rama.
| وَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ وَنَبِيتُ فِي جِبْعَةَ أَوْ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ». | ١٣ |
14 And they passed by and went on, and the sun went down upon them near to Gabaa, which is in Benjamin.
| فَعَبَرُوا وَذَهَبُوا. وَغَابَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ جِبْعَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِبَنْيَامِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 And they turned aside thence to go in to lodge in Gabaa; and they went in, and sat down in the street of the city, and there was no one who conducted them into a house to lodge.
| فَمَالُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَدْخُلُوا وَيَبِيتُوا فِي جِبْعَةَ. فَدَخَلَ وَجَلَسَ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَلَمْ يَضُمَّهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ لِلْمَبِيتِ. | ١٥ |
16 And behold, an old man came out of the field from his work in the evening; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gabaa, and the men of the place [were] sons of Benjamin.
| وَإِذَا بِرَجُلٍ شَيْخٍ جَاءَ مِنْ شُغْلِهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَهُوَ غَرِيبٌ فِي جِبْعَةَ، وَرِجَالُ ٱلْمَكَانِ بَنْيَامِينِيُّونَ. | ١٦ |
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw a traveller in the street of the city; and the old man said to him, Whither go you, and whence come you?
| فَرَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلْمُسَافِرَ فِي سَاحَةِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلشَّيْخُ: «إِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» | ١٧ |
18 And he said to him, We are passing by from Bethleem Juda to the sides of mount Ephraim: I am from thence, and I went as far as Bethleem Juda, and I am going home, and there is no man to take me into his house.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ: «نَحْنُ عَابِرُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى عِقَابِ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ. أَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَنَا ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَضُمُّنِي إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ١٨ |
19 Yet is there straw and food for our asses, and bread and wine for me and my handmaid and the young man with your servants; there is no lack of anything.
| وَأَيْضًا عِنْدَنَا تِبْنٌ وَعَلَفٌ لِحَمِيرِنَا، وَأَيْضًا خُبْزٌ وَخَمْرٌ لِي وَلِأَمَتِكَ وَلِلْغُلَامِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَ عَبِيدِكَ. لَيْسَ ٱحْتِيَاجٌ إِلَى شَيْءٍ». | ١٩ |
20 And the old man said, Peace [be] to you; only be every lack of your upon me, only do you by no means lodge in the street.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلشَّيْخُ: «ٱلسَّلَامُ لَكَ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ ٱحْتِيَاجِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَبِتْ فِي ٱلسَّاحَةِ». | ٢٠ |
21 And he brought him into his house, and made room for his asses; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
| وَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَعَلَفَ حَمِيرَهُمْ، فَغَسَلُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا. | ٢١ |
22 And they [were] comforting their heart, when, behold, the men of the city, sons of transgressors, compassed the house, knocking at the door: and they spoke to the old man the owner of the house, saying, Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him.
| وَفِيمَا هُمْ يُطَيِّبُونَ قُلُوبَهُمْ، إِذَا بِرِجَالِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، رِجَالِ بَنِي بَلِيَّعَالَ، أَحَاطُوا بِٱلْبَيْتِ قَارِعِينَ ٱلْبَابَ، وَكَلَّمُوا ٱلرَّجُلَ صَاحِبَ ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلشَّيْخَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَخْرِجِ ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱلَّذِي دَخَلَ بَيْتَكَ فَنَعْرِفَهُ». | ٢٢ |
23 And the master of the house came out to them, and said, Nay, brethren, do not you wrong, I pray you, after this man has come into my house; do not you this folly.
| فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ ٱلْرَّجُلُ صَاحِبُ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا يَا إِخْوَتِي. لَا تَفْعَلُوا شَرًّا. بَعْدَمَا دَخَلَ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ بَيْتِي لَا تَفْعَلُوا هَذِهِ ٱلْقَبَاحَةَ. | ٢٣ |
24 Behold my daughter a virgin, and the man's concubine: I will bring them out, and humble you them, and do to them that which is good in your eyes; but to this man do not this folly.
| هُوَذَا ٱبْنَتِي ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ وَسُرِّيَّتُهُ. دَعُونِي أُخْرِجْهُمَا، فَأَذِلُّوهُمَا وَٱفْعَلُوا بِهِمَا مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. وَأَمَّا هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَلَا تَعْمَلُوا بِهِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلْقَبِيحَ». | ٢٤ |
25 But the men would not consent to listen to him; so the man laid hold of his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night till the morning, and let her go when the morning dawned.
| فَلَمْ يُرِدِ ٱلرِّجَالُ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ. فَأَمْسَكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ سُرِّيَّتَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ خَارِجًا، فَعَرَفُوهَا وَتَعَلَّلُوا بِهَا ٱللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. وَعِنْدَ طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ أَطْلَقُوهَا. | ٢٥ |
26 And the woman came toward morning, and fell down at the door of the house where her husband was, until it was light.
| فَجَاءَتِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَسَقَطَتْ عِنْدَ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّجُلِ حَيْثُ سَيِّدُهَا هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلضَّوْءِ. | ٢٦ |
27 And her husband rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went forth to go on his journey; and, behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down by the doors of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.
| فَقَامَ سَيِّدُهَا فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَخَرَجَ لِلذَّهَابِ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْمَرْأَةِ سُرِّيَّتِهِ سَاقِطَةٌ عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَيَدَاهَا عَلَى ٱلْعَتَبَةِ. | ٢٧ |
28 And he said to her, Rise, and let us go; and she answered not, for she was dead: and he took her upon his ass, and went to his place.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «قُومِي نَذْهَبْ». فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مُجِيبٌ. فَأَخَذَهَا عَلَى ٱلْحِمَارِ وَقَامَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. | ٢٨ |
29 And he took his sword, and laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve parts, and sent them to every coast of Israel.
| وَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَأَخَذَ ٱلسِّكِّينَ وَأَمْسَكَ سُرِّيَّتَهُ وَقَطَّعَهَا مَعَ عِظَامِهَا إِلَى ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ قِطْعَةً، وَأَرْسَلَهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And it was so, that every one who saw it said, [Such a day] as this has not happened nor has been seen from the day of the going up of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt until this day: take you counsel concerning it, and speak.
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ رَأَى قَالَ: «لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِنْ يَوْمِ صُعُودِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. تَبَصَّرُوا فِيهِ وَتَشَاوَرُوا وَتَكَلَّمُوا». | ٣٠ |
