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.
U ono vrijeme kad u Izraelu još ne bijaše kralja, živio neki čovjek, levit, kao došljak na kraju Efrajimove gore. Uzeo on za inoču ženu iz Judina Betlehema.
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.
Rasrdivši se jednom, njegova ga inoča ostavi i vrati se u očevu kuću u Judin Betlehem i bila je ondje neko vrijeme, kakva četiri mjeseca.
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.
Njen muž ode k njoj da je urazumi i dovede natrag; imao je sa sobom slugu i dva magarca. Dok je prilazio kući oca mlade žene, opazi ga tast i veselo mu iziđe u susret.
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.
Tast, otac mlade žene, zadrži ga tri dana kod sebe te su jeli, pili i noćivali.
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."
Četvrtoga dana uraniše; levit se spremao da ide, kad otac mlade žene reče zetu: “Okrijepi se zalogajem kruha, pa onda idite.”
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."
I tako sjedoše te su obojica jela i pila, a onda otac mlade žene reče čovjeku: “Hajde, ostani još noćas i proveseli se!”
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
A kad čovjek ustade da pođe, tast uze navaljivati na njega te on još jednom ondje prenoći.
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.
Petoga dana levit urani da krene, ali mu otac mlade žene reče: “Okrijepi se najprije!” Tako su proveli vrijeme jedući zajedno dok se nije nagnuo dan.
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."
Muž ustade da ide, s inočom i slugom, kad mu tast, otac mlade žene, reče: “Evo se dan nagnuo k večeru. Prenoći još ovdje i proveseli se, pa sutra uranite na put i vratite se svom šatoru.”
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.
Ali čovjek ne htjede prenoćiti nego ustade i krenu. Tako je došao do pred Jebus, to jest Jeruzalem. S njim su bila dva osamarena magarca, inoča i sluga.
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."
Kad su bili blizu Jeruzalema, dan se već jako nagnuo, pa sluga reče svome gospodaru: “Hajde da se svratimo u taj jebusejski grad da tu prenoćimo.”
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."
Ali mu gospodar odgovori: “Nećemo se svraćati u grad tuđinaca koji nisu Izraelci, nego ćemo ići do Gibee.”
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."
Još reče sluzi: “Hajde, požurimo se da stignemo u koje od tih mjesta gdje ćemo prenoćiti, u Gibeu ili Ramu.”
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
I prođoše, nastavljajući put. Kad su stigli pred Benjaminovu Gibeu, sunce je zapadalo.
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.
Oni skrenuše onamo da prenoće u Gibei. Ušavši, levit sjede na gradskom trgu, ali ne bijaše nikoga da ih primi u kuću da prenoće.
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.
I dođe neki starac koji se predvečer vraćao s posla u polju. Bijaše to čovjek iz Efrajimove gore; življaše u Gibei kao došljak, a svi žitelji toga mjesta bijahu Benjaminovci.
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?"
Podigavši oči, ugleda putnika na gradskom trgu: “Odakle dolaziš i kamo ćeš?” - upita ga starac.
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.
A on mu odgovori: “Idemo od Judina Betlehema, na kraj Efrajimove gore. Ja sam odande. Išao sam u Judin Betlehem i vraćam se kući, ali nema nikoga da me primi k sebi u kuću.
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."
Imam i slame i krme za svoje magarce, a i kruha i vina za sebe, za svoju ženu i za momka koji prati mene, tvoga slugu. Imamo svega dosta.”
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."
“Mir s tobom i dobro mi došao”, odgovori starac. “Moja je briga što ti je potrebno, samo nemoj noćiti na trgu.”
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
I uvede ga u svoju kuću i baci krme magarcima. Putnici su oprali noge, a onda jeli i pili.
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."
Dok su se oni krijepili, gle, neki građani, opaki ljudi, okružiše kuću i, lupajući svom snagom o vrata, rekoše starcu, gospodaru kuće: “Izvedi toga čovjeka što je ušao u tvoju kuću da ga se namilujemo.”
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.
Tad iziđe domaćin iz kuće i reče im: “Ne, braćo moja, ne činite zla. Taj je čovjek ušao u moju kuću, zato ne činite bezakonja.
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."
Evo, moja je kći djevica, prepustit ću vam je. Činite od nje što vam drago, ali ovom čovjeku ne činite bezakonja.”
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.
Ljudi ga ne htjedoše poslušati. Tad onaj čovjek uze inoču te im je izvede. Oni su je silovali i zlostavljali svu noć do jutra, a kad je zora zabijeljela, pustiše je.
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
Pred zoru žena dođe i pade na ulaz kuće onog čovjeka gdje je bio njen gospodar i ležala je ondje dok se nije razdanilo.
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.
Njen je gospodar ujutro ustao, otvorio kućna vrata te izišao da nastavi put, kad spazi ženu, svoju inoču, kako leži na kućnim vratima s rukama na pragu.
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.
“Ustani, idemo!” - reče joj. Ali ne bijaše odgovora. Onda je uze, natovari na magarca i krenu na put da se vrati kući.
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.
Kada je došao kući, trže nož i uze mrtvo tijelo inočino, rasiječe ga, ud po ud, na dvanaest dijelova te ih razasla u sve krajeve Izraela.
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.'"
I tko god vidje reče: “Ovakvo što se nije dogodilo od dana kada su Izraelci izašli iz Egipta do današnjeg dana. Valja o tome promisliti, vijećati i govoriti.”
