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;
Yeroo sanatti Israaʼel mootii hin qabdu ture. Lewwichi lafa gammoojjii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessa jiraatu tokko Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessaa dubartii tokko saajjatoo godhatee fudhate.
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.
Isheen garuu isaaf amanamtuu hin taane. Isa dhiiftees gara mana abbaa ishee Beetlihem Yihuudaatti deebite. Erga jiʼa afur achi turtee booddee,
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.
dhirsi ishee araarfatee deebisee galfachuudhaaf gara ishee dhaqe. Innis hojjetaa isaatii fi harroota lama fudhatee deeme. Isheenis mana abbaa isheetti ol isa galchite; abbaan ishees yommuu isa argetti gammachuudhaan isa simate.
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.
Abbaan niitii isaa jechuunis, abbaan intalattii akka inni achi turuuf jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu isaan nyaachaa, dhugaas bultii sadii isa bira bubbulan.
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.”
Guyyaa afuraffaatti ganamaan kaʼanii deemuuf qophaaʼan; abbaan intalattii garuu dhirsa intala isaatiin, “Akka jabaatuuf waa nyaadhu; ergasii ni deemtaa” jedhe.
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.”
Kanaafuu lachan isaanii wajjin nyaatanii dhuguuf tataaʼan. Ergasiis abbaan intalattii, “Maaloo harʼa asuma buliitii aara galfadhu” jedheen.
7 And the man rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges there.
Yommuu inni deemuuf kaʼettis abbaan niitii isaa jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni halkan sana achi bule.
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.
Guyyaa shanaffaatti yommuu inni ganamaan deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Aara galfadhu. Hamma waaree booddeettis asuma turi!” isaan jedhe. Kanaafuu lachan isaanii iyyuu wajjin nyaatan.
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.”
Yeroo namichi saajjatoo isaatii fi tajaajilaa isaa wajjin deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Ilaali! Aduun dhiʼuutti jirti. Asuma bulaa; guyyaan galgalaaʼeera. Asuma bulaatii aara galfadhaa. Bori ganamaan kaatanii karaa keessan deemuu dandeessu” jedheen.
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.
Namichi garuu gaafa sana achi buluu didee harroota isaa lamaan feʼatee saajjatoo isaa fudhatee qajeele. Gara fuullee Yerusaalem ishee Yebuus jedhamtu sanaa dhufe.
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.”
Yommuu isaan Yebuus bira gaʼanitti sababii aduun dhiiteef tajaajilaan sun gooftaa isaatiin, “Maaloo kottaa magaalaa Yebuusotaa kanatti gorree haa bullu” jedhe.
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.”
Gooftaan isaas deebisee, “Lakkii. Nu magaalaa Namoota Ormaa warra Israaʼeloota hin taʼinii hin seennu. Gara Gibeʼaatti dabarra” isaan jedhe.
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.”
Itti fufees, “Kottu Gibeʼaa yookaan Raamaa geenyee tokkoo isaanii keessa bullaa” jedheen.
14 And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of Benjamin;
Kanaafuu deemsa isaanii itti fufanii yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa ishee Beniyaam keessatti argamtutti dhiʼaatanitti aduun dhiite.
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.
Isaanis achi buluuf itti goran. Oobdii magaalaa keessas qubatan; garuu namni tokko iyyuu isaan bulchuuf mana isaatti ol isaan hin galchine.
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.
Galgaluma sana jaarsi biyya gaaraa Efreemiitii dhufee Gibeʼaa jiraatu tokko hojii qonnaatii gale. Namoonni biyyattii garuu gosa Beniyaam turan.
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?”
Jaarsi sun yommuu ol jedhee oobdii magaalaa keessatti kara deemaa sana argetti, “Ati garam deemta? Eessaa dhufte?” jedhee gaafate.
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,
Lewwichis akkana jedhe; “Nu Beetlihem Yihuudaatii dhufnee gara lafa moggaa biyya gaaraa Efreem iddoo ani jiraadhuu dhaquuf deemna. Ani achi dhaqee ture. Ani amma gara mana Waaqayyoo dhaqaan jira. Namni mana isaatti na simate tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
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.”
Nu tajaajiltoonni kee harroota keenyaaf cidii fi okaa qabna; anaa fi tajaajiltuu keetiif, dargaggeessa nu wajjin jiruufis buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii qabna. Nu waan tokko illee hin barbaannu.”
20 And the old man says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
Jaarsichis, “Nagaan siif haa taʼu; ani waan isin barbaachisu hundumaa isiniif nan dhiʼeessa; isin garuu oobdii keessa hin bulinaa” jedheen.
21 And he brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
Kanaafuu inni gara mana isaatti ol isa galchee harroota isaatiif waan nyaatan kenne. Isaanis erga miilla isaanii dhiqatanii booddee nyaatanii dhugan.
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.”
Utuu isaan gammadaa jiranuu kashlabboonni magaalaa sanaa tokko tokko mana jaarsichaa marsan. Balbalas dhadhaʼanii iyyuudhaan, “Akka nu isatti sagaagalluuf namicha mana kee seene sana gad nuu baasi” jedhaniin.
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;
Abbaan manichaas gad baʼee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Lakkisaa yaa firoota ko, hammina akkasii hin hojjetinaa; namichi kun waan keessummaa koo taʼeef waan jibbisiisaa kana hin hojjetinaa.
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.”
Kunoo intalli koo durbi qulqulluunii fi saajjatoon namichaa as jiru. Ani isaan gad isinii baasaatii waan feetan isaan godhaa. Namicha kanatti garuu waan jibbisiisaa akkasii hin hojjetinaa.”
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;
Taʼus isaan isa hin dhageenye. Kanaafuu Lewwichi saajjatoo isaa gad isaanii baase; isaanis halkan guutuu isheetti taphatanii ganama barii gad ishee dhiisan.
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.
Akkuma lafti bariiteenis dubartiin sun gara mana gooftaan ishee ture sanaa dhaqxee balbala duratti kuftee hamma biiftuun baatutti achumatti diriirtee hafte.
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,
Yommuu gooftaan ishee ganama barii kaʼee deemuuf balbala banee gad baʼetti, kunoo saajjatoon isaa kuftee harka ishee gulantaa balbalaa irratti diriirsitee arge.
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,
Innis, “Kaʼi ni deemnaa” isheen jedhe. Garuu deebiin tokko illee hin turre. Kana irratti namichi sun harree irra ishee kaaʼee gara mana isaatti qajeele.
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.
Innis yommuu mana isaa gaʼetti haaduu fudhatee saajjatoo isaa sana buusaa buusaatti iddoo kudha lamatti kukkutee guutummaa biyya Israaʼelitti erge.
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.”
Namni waan kana arge hundi, “Erga Israaʼeloonni Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee wanni akkasii takkumaa argamee yookaan hojjetamee hin beeku. Waaʼee isaa yaadaa! Hubadhaas! Waan gochuu qabnus nutti himaa!” jedhe.
