Judges 19
1 And it comes to pass in those days, when there is no king in Israel, that there is a man, a Levite, a sojourner in the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he takes a wife for himself, a concubine, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah;
當以色列人尚沒有君王時，有一個肋未人寄居在厄弗辣因山地邊境；他由猶大白冷取了一個女子為妾。
2 and his concubine commits whoredom against him, and she goes from him to the house of her father, to Beth-Lehem-Judah, and is there four months of days.
那妾對他發怒，就離開他回了猶大白冷的父家，在那裏住了四個月。
3 And her husband rises and goes after her, to speak to her heart, to bring her back, and his young man [is] with him, and a couple of donkeys; and she brings him into the house of her father, and the father of the young woman sees him, and rejoices to meet him.
她的丈夫起來，帶著一個僕人，牽了兩匹驢去找她，想去慰問她，勸她回來；當他來到那女子的父家時，那少女的父親一望見他，就喜喜歡歡地來迎接他。
4 And his father-in-law keeps hold on him, father of the young woman, and he abides with him three days, and they eat and drink, and lodge there.
他的岳父，即那少女的父親，留他在家住了三日，他們在那裏一齊喫喝居住。
5 And it comes to pass, on the fourth day, that they rise early in the morning, and he rises to go, and the father of the young woman says to his son-in-law, “Support your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you go on.”
第四天他們一早起來，肋未人起身要走，那少女的父親就對女婿說：「你們先用些餅，吃點點心，然後再走。」
6 And both of them sit, and eat and drink together, and the father of the young woman says to the man, “Please be willing and lodge all night, and let your heart be glad.”
於是他們二人坐下一起喫喝；少女的父親對那人說：「請你賞面，再住一夜，再高興高興! 」
7 And the man rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges there.
那人起身要走，但他的岳父挽留了他，他又在那裏過了一夜。
8 And he rises early in the morning, on the fifth day, to go, and the father of the young woman says, “Please support your heart”; and they have tarried until the turning of the day, and both of them eat.
第五天他一早起來要走，但那少女的父親又說：「請先吃些點心! 」於是二人又一同吃東西，直到日已西斜；
9 And the man rises to go, he, and his concubine, and his young man, but his father-in-law, father of the young woman, says to him, “Now behold, the day has fallen toward evening, please lodge all night; behold, the declining of the day! Lodge here and let your heart be glad—and you have risen early tomorrow for your journey, and you have gone to your tent.”
那人和他的妾連他的僕人起身要走，他的岳父，即那少女的父親，對他說：「你看，天已晚了，今天在這裏再過一夜，再高興高興，明天清早起來，上路回家去罷! 」
10 And the man has not been willing to lodge all night, and he rises, and goes, and comes in until [he is] opposite Jebus (it [is] Jerusalem), and a couple of saddled donkeys [are] with him; and his concubine [is] with him.
但是，那人不願再過一夜，就帶著他的妾和僕人，以及備好的兩匹驢起身走了，來到耶步斯，即耶路撒冷的對面。到基貝亞過夜
11 They [are] near Jebus, and the day has greatly gone down, and the young man says to his lord, “Please come, and we turn aside to this city of the Jebusite and lodge in it.”
當他們臨近耶步斯時，日已西垂，僕人就對主人說：「來，讓我們轉去，到這座耶步斯人城裏去投宿! 」
12 And his lord says to him, “Let us not turn aside to the city of a stranger, that is not of the sons of Israel there, but we have passed over to Gibeah.”
主人回答他說：「我們不可進入這座不屬以色列子民的外方人的城，我們往基貝亞去罷!
13 And he says to his young man, “Come, and we draw near to one of the places, and have lodged in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
他又對僕人說：「來! 我們到一個地方去投宿，或在基貝亞，或在辣瑪。」
14 And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of Benjamin;
於是他們又上路前行，當來近本雅明的基貝亞時，太陽已經落了。
15 and they turn aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and he goes in and sits in a broad place of the city, and there is no man gathering them into the house to lodge.
他們遂進了基貝亞，在那裏投宿；他們進城後，就坐在城內街市上，因為沒有人收留他們在家中過宿。
16 And behold, an old man has come from his work from the field in the evening, and the man [is] of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he [is] a sojourner in Gibeah, and the men of the place [are] Benjamites.
有一個老人晚上由田間工作回來，他原是厄弗辣因山地的人，寄居在基貝亞；本地人卻是本雅明人。
17 And he lifts up his eyes, and sees the man, the traveler, in a broad place of the city, and the old man says, “To where do you go? And where do you come from?”
那老人舉目，看見在城中街市上又個過路的人，就問說：「你往那裏去﹖從那裏來﹖」
18 And he says to him, “We are passing over from Beth-Lehem-Judah to the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim—I [am] from there, and I go to Beth-Lehem-Judah; and I am going to the house of YHWH, and there is no man gathering me into the house,
肋未人回答他說：「我們是從猶大白冷來，往厄弗辣因山地的邊境去。我本是那地方的人，我去過猶大白冷，現在要回家去，但沒有人收留我到自己家裏去。
19 and there is both straw and provender for our donkeys, and there is also bread and wine for me, and for your handmaid, and for the young man with your servants; there is no lack of anything.”
其實我有糧草餵驢，為我和你的婢女以及跟隨你僕人的這個青年人，都有食糧和酒，一無所缺。」
20 And the old man says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
那老人對他說：「你放心罷! 你所需要的由我供給，只不可在街上過夜。」
21 And he brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
他遂領他到自己家裏，餵上驢，他們洗了腳，以後就吃喝起來。基貝亞的惡行
22 They are making their heart glad, and behold, men of the city, men—sons of worthlessness—have gone around the house, beating on the door, and they speak to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who has come into your house, and we know him.”
他們正滿懷高興的時候，看，本城的一些無賴之徒，圍住房屋敲門，對作家主的老人說：「把剛才到你家的那個人領出來，我們要認識他。」
23 And the man, the master of the house, goes out to them and says to them, “No, my brothers, please do not do evil after that this man has come into my house; do not do this folly;
家主出來見他們，對他們說：「兄弟們，不要如此! 請你不要行這樣的惡事! 這人既進了我的家，你們決不能行這醜事!
24 behold, my daughter, the virgin, and his concubine, please let me bring them out and you humble them, and do that which is good in your eyes to them, and do not do this foolish thing to this man.”
這裏有我的女兒還是處女，我領她出來，你們可任意污辱她，任憑你們待她；但是對於這人，你們決不可作這種醜事! 」
25 And the men have not been willing to listen to him, and the man takes hold on his concubine and brings [her] out to them outside, and they know her and roll themselves on her all the night until the morning, and they send her away in the ascending of the dawn;
但是那些人不願聽他；客人就抓住自己的妾，把她交給了他們，他們就認識了她，整夜污辱她，直到早晨，在破曉的時候纔放了她。
26 and the woman comes in at the turning of the morning, and falls at the opening of the man’s house where her lord [is], until the light.
天快亮的時候，那女子回到留他主人住宿的那人屋前，跌倒在那裏，直到天亮。
27 And her lord rises in the morning, and opens the doors of the house, and goes out to go on his way, and behold, the woman, his concubine, is fallen at the opening of the house, and her hands [are] on the threshold,
早晨，當她的主人起來開門，出去要動身起程時，看見那女人，即他的妾，伏在門口，她的手扶在門限上，
28 and he says to her, “Rise, and we go”; but there is no answering, and he takes her on the donkey, and the man rises and goes to his place,
就對她說：「起來! 我們走罷! 」然而沒有人回答他；那人便把她馱在驢上，起身回了本地。
29 and comes into his house, and takes the knife, and lays hold on his concubine, and cuts her in pieces to her bones—into twelve pieces, and sends her into all the border of Israel.
到了家裏，拿起刀來，握住自己的妾，把她的肢體切成十二塊，送到以色列全境，
30 And it has come to pass, everyone who sees has said, “There has not been—indeed, there has not been seen [anything] like this, from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt until this day; set your [heart] on it, take counsel, and speak.”
吩咐他所派遣的人說：「你們要對以色列人這樣說：自從以色列子民由埃及地上來那一日，直到今日，是否發生過這樣的事﹖大家想一想，決定之後，請說出來。」凡看見的都說：「自從以色列子民由埃及地上來那一日，直到今日，從未發生過，也未見過這樣的事。」
