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 lower edge of the mountain of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine out of Beth-lechem-judah.
A i aua ra, i te mea kahore he kingi o Iharaira, na ko tetahi tangata, he Riwaiti, e noho noa iho ana i te taha ki tua o te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima; na ka tango ia i tetahi wahine iti mana i roto i Peterehema Hura.
2 And his concubine became faithless unto him, and she went away from him unto her father's house to Beth-lechem-judah, and was there one year and four months.
Na kua puremu tana wahine iti, a mawehe atu ana i a ia ki te whare o tona papa, ki Peterehema Hura, a e wha nga tino marama ona ki reira.
3 And then her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, to bring her back; and he had 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.
Na ka whakatika tana tahu, a haere ana ki te whai i a ia, ki te whakamarie i a ia, ki te whakahoki mai i a ia; ko tana tangata hoki tona hoa haere, me nga kaihe e rua: na ka kawea ia e te wahine ra ki te whare o tona papa, a, no te kitenga o te p apa o te kotiro i a ia, koa tonu, no te mea ka tutaki ki a ia.
4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, detained him; and he abode with him three days: and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
Na ka pupuri tona hungawai, te papa o te kotiro, i a ia; a e toru nga ra i noho ai ia ki a ia; heoi kai ana, inu ana raua, a noho ana i reira.
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; but the damsel's father said unto his son-in-law, Comfort thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward can ye go your way.
A i te wha o nga ra ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a whakatika ana ia ki te haere: na ka mea te papa o te kotiro ki tana hunaonga, Kia ora tou ngakau i tetahi wahi taro, a muri iho ka haere.
6 And they sat down, and both of them ate together and drank; and the damsel's father said unto the man, Do consent, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry.
Na ka noho raua, ka kai, ka inu tahi to raua tokorua, na ka mea te papa o te kotiro ki taua tangata, Tena koa, noho iho i te po nei, kia koa hoki tou ngakau.
7 Still the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he turned back and lodged there.
A, i te whakatikanga o taua tangata ki te haere, ka tohea ia e tona hungawai, na ka moe ano ia ki reira.
8 And when he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, the damsel's father said, Comfort thy heart, I pray thee, and tarry until the decline of the day: and both of them did eat.
A i te rima o nga ra ka maranga wawe ia ki te haere, a ka mea te papa o te kotiro, Kia ora tou ngakau: e noho korua kia titaha ra te ra; a kai ana raua tokorua.
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 all night, I pray you: behold, it is the resting time of day, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and you may get early tomorrow on your way, and go then to thy tent.
Na ka whakatika taua tangata ki te haere, a ia, tana wahine iti me tana tangata, a ka mea tona hungawai, te papa o te kotiro ki a ia, Nana, kua heke te ra, kua ahiahi, e noho ra, nana kua tawharara te ra, hei konei moe ai, kia koa ai tou ngakau; a hei te ata apopo ka maranga wawe ai koutou ki te ara, ka haere ki tou kainga.
10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and went away, and came as far as opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and he had with him two saddled asses, and his concubine also was with him.
Otiia kihai taua tangata i pai kia noho i taua po, engari whakatika ana ia, haere ana, a ka tae ki te ritenga atu o Iepuhu, ara o Hiruharama: i a ia ano hoki nga kaihe e rua, whakanoho rawa, i a ia ano hoki tana wahine iti.
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in unto this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Ka tata ratou ki Iepuhu, na kua aua noa atu te ra; a ka mea te tangata ki tona rangatira, Tena, kia peka tatou ki tenei pa o nga Iepuhi, ki reira moe ai.
12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn into one of the cities of the stranger, that are not belonging to the children of Israel; but we will pass on as far as Gib'ah.
Na ka mea tona rangatria ki a ia, E kore tatou e peka ki te pa o te iwi ke, ehara nei i nga tamariki a Iharaira; engari me haere atu tatou ki Kipea.
13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places; and let us lodge all night in Gib'ah, or in Ramah.
Na ka mea ia ki tana tangata, Haere mai, tatou ka whakatata ki tetahi o enei wahi; ka moe ai tatou ki Kipea, ki Rama ranei.
14 And they passed on and went forward; and the sun went down unto them by Gib'ah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Na ka whiti atu ratou, ka haere; a kua tonene te ra i a ratou ka tata ki Kipea, ki tetahi pa o Pineamine.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gib'ah; and when he went in, he sat down in the street of the city; for there was no man that brought them into his house to lodge.
Na ka peka ratou ki reira, ka haere ki Kipea moe ai: a, i tona taenga atu, ka noho ki te waharoa o te pa; kahore hoki he tangata hei mau i a ratou ki tona whare moe ai
16 And, behold, an old man was coming from his work out of the field at evening, and this man was from the mountain of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gib'ah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Na ko tetahi tangata, he koroheke, e haere mai ana i tana mahi i te mara i te ahiahi; a ko taua tangata no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, i Kipea hoki e noho ana; ko nga tangata ia o te pa, he Pineamini.
17 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city: and then said the old man, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
A ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka kite i te tangata konene i te waharoa o te pa, na ka mea taua koroheke, Ko hea koe? i haere mai ano hoki koe i hea?
18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lechem-judah toward the lower edge of the mountain of Ephraim; from there am I, and I went as far as Beth-lechem-judah; but I am going to the house of the Lord; and there is no man that bringeth me into his house.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, I haere mai matou i Peterehema Hura, a e haere ana matou ki tera taha o te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima; no reira ahau; ai haere ahau ki Peterehema Hura; otiia e haere ana tenei ahau ki te whare o Ihowa; heoi kahore he tangat a hei mau i ahau ki roto ki tona whare.
19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there are also bread and wine for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man who is with thy servants; there is no want of any thing.
He kakau witi ano ia tenei, he kai ma a matou kaihe; he taro ano tenei, he waina hoki maku, a ma tau pononga wahine, ma te tahake hoki a au pononga: kahore he mate ki te aha, ki te aha.
20 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie upon me; at least lodge not in the street.
Na ka mea taua koroheke, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koe, He ahakoa ra, waiho mai i ahau nga mea katoa e matea e koe; otiia kaua e moe ki te waharoa.
21 So he brought him to his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and they ate and drank.
Na mauria ana e ia ki tona whare, a hoatu ana he kai ma nga kaihe: a horoia ana e ratou o ratou waewae, kai ana, inu ana.
22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, worthless people, beset the house round about, knocking at the door; and they said to the master of the house, the old man, thus, Bring forth the man that in come to thy house, that we may know him.
E mea ake ana o ratou ngakau ki to koa, na, ko te karapotinga o te whare e nga tangata o te pa, he tama na Periara; kei te patuki ki te tatau, ka korero ki te tangata nona te whare, ki taua koroheke ra, ka mea, Whakaputaina mai ki waho tena tang ata i haere na ki tou whare, kia mohio ai matou ki a ia.
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, No, my brethren, I pray you, act not wickedly; since this man is once come into my house, do not this scandalous thing.
Na ka haere atu ki a ratou te tangata nona te whare, ka mea ki a ratou, Kaua ra, e oku tuakana, kaua e mahia te mea kino; kua tae mai nei hoki tenei tangata ki toku whare, kaua tenei mea poauau e meatia.
24 Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out now, and humble ye them, and do to them what seemeth good in your eyes; but unto this man do not this scandalous thing.
Na ko taku tamahine tenei, he wahine, me tana wahine iti hoki; maku raua e kawe atu inaianei, whakaititia raua e koutou, meatia hoki ki a raua te mea e pai ana ki ta koutou titiro: ko tenei tangata ia, kaua tenei mea poauau e meatia ki a ia.
25 But the men would not hearken to him; so the man took hold of his concubine, and brought her forth unto them into the street; and they knew her, and ill-used her all the night until the morning; and they let her go when the day began to dawn.
A te pai nga tangata ki te whakarongo ki a ia, na ka mau taua tangata ki tana wahine iti, a kawea atu ana ki waho ki a ratou, a ka mohio ratou ki a ia, ka tukino hoki i a ia i taua po katoa a tae noa ki te ata: a ka hi te ata, ka tukua ia e rato u.
26 Then came the woman [home] in the early part of the morning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, [and lay] till it was light.
Na ka haere mai te wahine ra i te puaotanga o te ata, takoto ana ki te kuwaha o te whare o te tangata kei reira nei tona ariki, a marama noa.
27 And when her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go on his way: behold, the woman, his concubine, was lying at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
A ka whakatika ake tona ariki i te ata, na ka huakina e ia nga tatau o te whare, ka puta atu, he mea kia haere i tona ara: na ko te wahine ra, ko tana wahine iti, kua hinga ki te kuwaha o te whare, ko ona ringa i runga i te paepae o te tatau.
28 And he said unto her, Rise up, and let us be going; but no one answered. Then he took her upon the ass, and the man rose up, and went unto his place.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika kia haere tatou. Kahore ia tetahi i whakao mai. Na ka hapainga ia e ia ki runga ki te kaihe. A ka maranga taua tangata, haere ana ki tona wahi.
29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her about in all the territory of Israel.
A, no tona taenga ki tona whare, ka tikina e ia tetahi maripi, a ka mau ki tana wahine iti, tapatapahia ana e ia ona wahi, kia tekau ma rua nga wahanga, a tukua ana ki nga rohe katoa o Iharaira, puta noa.
30 And it happened, that whoever saw it said, There hath no such deed been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day: reflect well on it, give advice, and speak.
A i mea te hunga katoa i kitea ai, Kahore tenei i mua, kahore ano hoki i kitea he rite mo tenei o te ra i haere mai ai nga tamariki a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa a mohoa noa nei: maharatia iho, whakaaroa, korerotia.
