< 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;
Nan tan sa a pa t' gen wa nan peyi Izrayèl la. Yon jou, yon moun Levi ki te rete nan fon mòn Efrayim yo leve, l' al pran yon fanm, moun lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida, pou fanm kay li.
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.
Men, fanm lan vin tonbe nan dezòd sou li, epi li kite l', li tounen lakay papa l', lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. Li pase kat mwa la.
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.
Lè sa a, mari a leve, l' al dèyè l' pou l' wè si li te ka tounen avè l' ankò. Li te pati ansanm ak yon domestik ak de bourik. Madanm lan te byen resevwa l' lakay papa l'. Lè papa madanm lan wè l', li te byen kontan resevwa l' tou.
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.
Bòpè a pran tèt moun Levi a, li fè l' rete pase twa jou avè l'. Mesyedam yo manje, yo bwè, yo pase nwit nan kay la.
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.”
Sou katriyèm jou a, yo leve granmaten, yo pare zafè yo pou yo pati. Men, papa madanm lan di moun Levi a konsa: -Mete yon bagay nan vant ou anvan. W'a santi ou anfòm. Aprè sa, w'a pati.
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.”
Mesyedam yo chita, yo manje, epi yo bwè. Apre sa, papa madanm lan di moun Levi a konsa: -Tanpri, pase nwit la ankò isit la. Pran plezi ou non!
7 And the man rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges there.
Nonm lan te leve pou l' pati, men bòpè a sitèlman kenbe la avè l', li tounen pase nwit la la ankò.
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.
Sou senkyèm jou a, nan granmaten, li leve pou l' ale. Bòpè a di l' konsa: -Mete kichòy nan vant ou non, monchè. W'a pati pita. Se konsa de mesye yo chita, yo manje.
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.”
Aprè sa, nonm lan leve pou l' ale ansanm ak fanm kay li ak domestik li a, men bòpè a di l': -Gade solèy pral kouche, tou rete pase nwit lan non. Talè fènwa pral tonbe. Rete non, monchè. Pran plezi ou! Denmen, w'a leve byen bonè pou vwayaj la, w'aprale lakay ou.
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.
Men, fwa sa a nonm lan pa t' vle rete pase yon lòt nwit ankò. Li leve, l' ale ansanm ak fanm kay li ak de bourik yo tou sele. Yo rive toupre lavil Jebis ki vle di lavil Jerizalèm.
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.”
Lè sa a, te konmanse ap fè nwa anpil, domestik la di l' konsa: -Ann fè yon antre nan lavil moun Jebis yo non. N'a pase nwit la la.
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.”
Men, mèt la di l' konsa: -Non! Nou pa pral antre nan lavil moun lòt nasyon yo, kote pa gen yon moun pèp Izrayèl la menm. N'ap fè wout nou jouk nou rive lavil Gibeya.
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.”
Ann al pi devan. N'a pase nwit lan lavil Gibeya osinon lavil Rama.
14 And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of Benjamin;
Se konsa yo pa rete, y' al fè wout yo. Solèy t'ap fin kouche lè yo rive bò lavil Gibeya, ki nan teritwa moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo.
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.
Yo chankre sou wout la, yo vin pase nwit lan lavil Gibeya. Moun Levi a antre nan lavil la, l' al chita sou plas la, men pesonn pa t' envite yo vin pase nwit lan lakay yo.
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.
Nan aswè, yon granmoun gason ki t'ap sot nan jaden vin ap antre lakay li. Se te yon moun mòn Efrayim yo li te ye. Li te rete lavil Gibeya. Men, tout moun lavil yo se moun fanmi Benjamen yo te ye.
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?”
Je granmoun lan al tonbe sou vwayajè yo ki te sou plas la. Li di moun Levi a konsa: -Kote ou prale? Kote ou soti?
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,
Moun Levi a reponn li: -Nou soti lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida, n'ap vwayaje, nou pral byen lwen nan fon mòn Efrayim yo. Se la mwen rete. Mwen te desann ale Betleyèm, men koulye a m'ap tounen lakay mwen. Pesonn pa envite nou vin pase nwit lan lakay yo.
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.”
Nou gen manje ak zèb pou bourik nou, nou gen pen ak diven pou mwen, pou fanm kay mwen, ak pou domestik ki ak nou an. Nou pa manke anyen.
20 And the old man says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
Lè sa a granmoun lan di: -Pòt kay mwen louvri pou nou! Se mwen menm k'ap ba ou tou sa ou bezwen. Sèlman pa rete pase nwit lan la sou plas la.
21 And he brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
Se konsa li mennen yo lakay li, li bay bèt yo zèb. Mesyedam yo menm lave pye yo, epi yo manje, yo bwè.
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.”
Yo t'ap koze yonn ak lòt lè kèk mesye lavil la, yon bann vòryen, vin sènen kay la. Yo pran frape nan pòt la. Yo pale ak granmoun ki te mèt kay la, yo di l' konsa: -Fè nonm ki lakay ou a soti vin jwenn nou pou nou ka kouche avè l'.
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;
Mèt kay la soti al jwenn yo, li di yo konsa: -Non, mezanmi! Tanpri, pa fè vye bagay lèd sa a. Nonm lan se lakay mwen li ye. Pa vin fè bagay sal sa a.
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.”
Bon, gade! Mwen gen yon jenn pitit fi, li menm li gen yon fanm kay. Mwen pral fè yo soti vin jwenn nou. Nou mèt kouche ak yo. Nou mèt fè sa nou vle ak yo. Men, pa vin fè ankenn vye bagay derespektan ak nonm lan.
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;
Men, mesye yo pa t' vle koute l'. Lè sa a, moun Levi a pran fanm kay li a, li fè l' soti al jwenn yo deyò a. Tout mesye yo kouche avè l', yo fè tout kalite bagay avè l' pandan tout nwit lan. Solèy t'apral leve lè yo kite l'.
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.
Lè bajou kase, fanm lan trennen jouk li rive devan papòt kay kote mari l' te ye a. Li rete atè a jouk solèy fin leve.
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,
Nan maten, mari a leve, li louvri pòt pou l' soti. Li fè sa pou l' al fè wout li, li wè fanm kay li a blayi atè a devan kay la, ak de men l' yo lonje sou papòt la.
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,
Li di: -Leve non! Ann ale! Men, fanm lan pa reponn li. Li pran kadav la, li mete l' detravè sou bourik li, epi li pati, l' al lakay li.
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.
Lè l' rive lakay li, li pran yon kouto, li koupe kadav fanm kay li a fè douz moso, epi li voye yon moso nan chak branch fanmi peyi Izrayèl la.
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.”
Chak moun ki te wè sa di konsa: -Nou pa janm wè bagay konsa! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nan mitan nou depi lè pèp Izrayèl la kite peyi Lejip rive jounen jòdi a. Annou kalkile byen kisa nou pral fè pou sa. Sa nou di nan sa?
