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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 keeps hold on him, father of the young woman, and he abides with him three days, and they eat and drink, and lodge 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 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.”
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 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.”
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 rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges 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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 says to his young man, “Come, and we draw near to one of the places, and have lodged in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
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 pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of 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 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.
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 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.
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 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?”
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 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,
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 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.”
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 says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
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 brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
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 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.”
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 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;
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, 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.”
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 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;
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 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.
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 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,
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.”
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.”
