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.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ai ʻa e [tangata ]Livai ʻe taha naʻe ʻāunofo ʻi he potu ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ha sinifu ke na feangainga mei Petelihema Siuta.
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.
Pea naʻe fai angahala ʻe hono fefine kiate ia, pea hola ia meiate ia ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi Petelihema Siuta, pea naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻi he māhina kātoa ʻe fā.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake hono husepāniti, pea ʻalu ko hono kumi, ke ne lea ʻofa kiate ia, pea ke toe ʻomi ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea mo e ʻasi ʻe ua: pea ne ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai: pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻae tamai ʻae fefine, naʻe fiefia ia ke na feʻiloaki.
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.
Pea naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi he fono, ʻaia ko e tamai ʻae fefine; pea naʻa na nonofo mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu: ko ia naʻa nau kai, mo inu, pea mohe ʻi ai.
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.
Pea hoko ki hono fā ʻoe ʻaho, pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi ke ʻalu, naʻe tuʻu hake ia ke ʻalu: pea pehē ʻe he tamai ʻae fefine ki hono foha ʻi he fono, “Ke ke fakafiemālieʻi ho loto ʻaki ʻae konga mā, pea ke toki fai ho fononga.”
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.
Pea naʻa nau nofo pea kai mo inu fakataha ʻakinaua: he naʻe pehē ʻe he tamai ʻae fefine ki he tangata, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke fiemālie, pea ke tatali he poōni, pea ke fakafiefia ki ho loto.”
7 And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law constrained him, and he stayed and lodged there.
Pea ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae tangata ke ʻalu, naʻe ueʻi mālohi ia ʻe heʻene tamai ʻi he fono: ko ia ne ne toe mohe ʻi ai.
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.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ia ʻi hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ke ʻalu: pea pehē ʻe he tamai ʻae fefine kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, fakafiemālieʻi ho loto.” Pea naʻa nau tatali ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatā efiafi nai, pea na kai fakatouʻosi pe.
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.
Pea ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae tangata ke ʻalu, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, naʻe lea ʻene tamai ʻi he fono ʻaia ko e tamai ʻae fefine, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻae ʻaho ke efiafi, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe tau mohe: vakai, kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho, tau mohe ʻi heni, ke fiemālie ho loto; pea ʻalu hengihengi ʻapongipongi ʻi homou hala, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko atu ki ho ʻapi.”
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tatali ʻe he tangata ʻi he pō ko ia, ka naʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu, pea hoko ʻo feʻunga mo Sepusi, ʻaia ko Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻasi ʻe ua mo e hekaʻanga, pea mo hono uaifi foki.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki Sepusi, kuo teitei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho, pea pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ki heʻene ʻeiki, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke tau afe ki he kolo ni ʻoe kau Sepusi, pea mohe ʻi ai.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene ʻeiki kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te tau afe eni ki he kolo ʻoe kakai kehe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ka tau mole atu ki Kipea.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, Ko eni ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu ki he potu ni ʻe taha ke tau mohe ai he poōni, ʻi Kipea, pe ʻi Lama.”
14 And they passed by and went on, and the sun went down upon them near to Gabaa, which is in Benjamin.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai pe ʻi honau hala; pea naʻe tō ʻae laʻā ʻi heʻenau ofi ki Kipea, ʻaia ʻoku kau ki Penisimani.
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.
Pea naʻa nau afe ki ai, ke ʻalu ʻo mohe ʻi Kipea: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki ai, naʻe nofo ki lalo ia ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo: he naʻe ʻikai fakaafe ia ʻe ha tokotaha ki hono fale ke mohe.
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.
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha motuʻa mei heʻene ngāue ʻi he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, ko e tangata foki ia mei he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi; pea naʻe ʻāunofo ia ʻi Kipea: ka ko e kau tangata ʻoe potu ko ia ko e kau Penisimani.
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?
Pea ʻi heʻene hanga hake naʻa ne mamata ki he tangata fononga ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo: pea pehē ʻe he motuʻa kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻalu ki fē? Pea kuo ke haʻu mei fē?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku mau fononga mei Petelihema Siuta, ki he potu ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi; ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai: pea ne u ʻalu ki Petelihema Siuta, ka ʻoku ou ʻalu ni ki he fale ʻo Sihova; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ke fakaafe au ki hono fale.
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.
Ka ʻoku ai ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai ki heʻemau fanga ʻasi; pea ʻoku ai mo e mā mo e uaine kiate au mo hoʻo kaunanga, pea ki he tangata talavou ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hoʻo ongo tamaioʻeiki: ʻoku ʻikai te mau masiva.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he motuʻa, “Ke ke fiemālie pe kae tuku kiate au hoʻo masiva kotoa pē kaeʻoua naʻa ke mohe ʻi he hala.”
21 And he brought him into his house, and made room for his asses; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻomi ia ki hono fale, ʻo ne ʻatu ʻae meʻakai ki he fanga ʻasi; pea naʻa nau fufulu honau vaʻe, pea kai mo inu.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau fakafiefiaʻi honau loto, vakai, naʻe ʻoho mai ʻo kāpui ʻae fale ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻae fānau ʻoe kovi, ʻo tuki ki he matapā, pea naʻa nau lea ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻae tangata motuʻa, ʻo pehē, “ʻOmi ʻae tangata kituʻa ʻaia naʻe haʻu ki ho fale ke mau ʻilo ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tangata, ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai, ʻe hoku kāinga, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou fai kovi pehē; ko e meʻa ʻi he haʻu ʻae tangata ni ki hoku fale, ʻoua naʻa mou fai ʻae vale ni.
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.
Vakai, ko eni hoku ʻofefine ko e taʻahine, pea mo e fefine ʻaʻana te u ʻomi ʻakinaua ni, pea mou fakavaivai ʻakinaua, pea fai kiate kinaua, ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu: kaeʻoua naʻa mou fai ki he tangata ni ha meʻa kovi lahi pehē ni.”
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai fietokanga ki ai ʻe he kau tangata: ko ia naʻe toʻo ai ʻe he tangata hono fefine ʻo ʻomi ia kituʻa kiate kinautolu; pea naʻa nau ʻilo ia, ʻo fai kovi kiate ia ʻi he pō kotoa ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he pongipongi: pea ʻi he hengihengi hake, naʻa nau tukuange ia ke ʻalu.
26 And the woman came toward morning, and fell down at the door of the house where her husband was, until it was light.
Pea haʻu ai ʻae fefine ʻi he mafoa ʻae ata ʻoe ʻaho ʻo tō ki he matapā ʻoe fale ʻoe tangata naʻe ʻi ai ʻene ʻeiki, ke ʻoua ke ʻaho.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻene ʻeiki ʻi he pongipongi, pea toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe ʻalu ia kituʻa ke hoko hono fononga: pea vakai, ko e fefine, ko hono uaifi kuo tō ki lalo ia ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe ala atu hono nima ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke tau ō.” Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi ha lea. Pea hiki hake ia ʻe he tangata ʻo fakaheka ki he ʻasi, pea tuʻu hake ʻae tangata, ʻo fononga atu ki hono fonua.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono fale, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae hele, pea ne puke hono uaifi, pea tafaʻi ʻe ia ia mo hono ngaahi hui, ko e konga [sino ]ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea naʻe ʻave ia ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mamata ki ai naʻa nau pehē, Kuo ʻikai mamata ʻe ha tokotaha ki ha meʻa pehē kuo fai, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni: mou tokanga ki ai, fai ʻae alea, pea fakahā homou loto.”
