Judges 19
1 It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
当以色列中没有王的时候，有住以法莲山地那边的一个利未人，娶了一个犹大伯利恒的女子为妾。
2 His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about four months.
妾行淫离开丈夫，回犹大的伯利恒，到了父家，在那里住了四个月。
3 Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
她丈夫起来，带着一个仆人、两匹驴去见她，用好话劝她回来。女子就引丈夫进入父家。她父见了那人，便欢欢喜喜地迎接。
4 His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
那人的岳父，就是女子的父亲，将那人留下住了三天。于是二人一同吃喝、住宿。
5 It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
到第四天，利未人清早起来要走，女子的父亲对女婿说：“请你吃点饭，加添心力，然后可以行路。”
6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
于是二人坐下一同吃喝。女子的父亲对那人说：“请你再住一夜，畅快你的心。”
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
那人起来要走，他岳父强留他，他又住了一宿。
8 He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
到第五天，他清早起来要走，女子的父亲说：“请你吃点饭，加添心力，等到日头偏西再走。”于是二人一同吃饭。
9 When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
那人同他的妾和仆人起来要走，他岳父，就是女子的父亲，对他说：“看哪，日头偏西了，请你再住一夜；天快晚了，可以在这里住宿，畅快你的心。明天早早起行回家去。”
10 But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
那人不愿再住一夜，就备上那两匹驴，带着妾起身走了，来到耶布斯的对面（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷。）
11 When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
临近耶布斯的时候，日头快要落了，仆人对主人说：“我们不如进这耶布斯人的城里住宿。”
12 His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
主人回答说：“我们不可进不是以色列人住的外邦城，不如过到基比亚去”；
13 He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
又对仆人说：“我们可以到一个地方，或住在基比亚，或住在拉玛。”
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
他们就往前走。将到便雅悯的基比亚，日头已经落了；
15 They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
他们进入基比亚要在那里住宿，就坐在城里的街上，因为无人接他们进家住宿。
16 Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
晚上，有一个老年人从田间做工回来。他原是以法莲山地的人，住在基比亚；那地方的人却是便雅悯人。
17 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
老年人举目看见客人坐在城里的街上，就问他说：“你从哪里来？要往哪里去？”
18 He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
他回答说：“我们从犹大的伯利恒来，要往以法莲山地那边去。我原是那里的人，到过犹大的伯利恒，现在我往耶和华的殿去，在这里无人接我进他的家。
19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
其实我有粮草可以喂驴，我与我的妾，并我的仆人，有饼有酒，并不缺少什么。”
20 And the old man said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
老年人说：“愿你平安！你所需用的我都给你，只是不可在街上过夜。”
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
于是领他们到家里，喂上驴，他们就洗脚吃喝。
22 As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with him."
他们心里正欢畅的时候，城中的匪徒围住房子，连连叩门，对房主老人说：“你把那进你家的人带出来，我们要与他交合。”
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
那房主出来对他们说：“弟兄们哪，不要这样作恶；这人既然进了我的家，你们就不要行这丑事。
24 Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
我有个女儿，还是处女，并有这人的妾，我将她们领出来任凭你们玷辱她们，只是向这人不可行这样的丑事。”
25 But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
那些人却不听从他的话。那人就把他的妾拉出去交给他们，他们便与她交合，终夜凌辱她，直到天色快亮才放她去。
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
天快亮的时候，妇人回到她主人住宿的房门前，就仆倒在地，直到天亮。
27 Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
早晨，她的主人起来开了房门，出去要行路，不料那妇人仆倒在房门前，两手搭在门槛上；
28 And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
就对妇人说：“起来，我们走吧！”妇人却不回答。那人便将她驮在驴上，起身回本处去了。
29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.
到了家里，用刀将妾的尸身切成十二块，使人拿着传送以色列的四境。
30 And it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
凡看见的人都说：“从以色列人出埃及地，直到今日，这样的事没有行过，也没有见过。现在应当思想，大家商议当怎样办理。”
