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.
Tañ’andro izay, ie tsy amam-panjaka t’Israele, le teo ty nte-Levý nañialo ankalo’ o vohi-bohi’ i Efraimeo, nangalake sakeza e Betlekheme’ Iehoda añe,
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.
fe nanao hatsimirirañe ama’e i amato’ey vaho nisitak’ aze nimpoly mb’ añ’ anjomban-drae’e e Betlekheme’ Iehoda añe le nandrare tobok’ añe efa-bolañe.
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.
Niavotse hañorik’ aze mb’eo amy zao i vali’ey, hamere aze vaho hampoli’e; nindre ama’e ty mpitoro’e naho ty borìke roe; le nampihovae’ i ampelay añ’ anjomban-drae’e ao; aa ie nionin-drae’ i ampelay, le niehake te nifandrendrek’ ama’e;
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.
nitañ’ aze eo i rafoza’ey, ty rae’ i ampelay, naho niambesatse telo andro ama’e re nikama naho ninoñe, vaho nialeñ’ ao.
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."
Aa amy andro fahefatsey, ie nitroatse marain-dray, le niongake hañavelo mb’eo i nte-Leviy; fa hoe ty rae’ i ampelay amy vinanto’ey, Ampaozaro ty arofo’o ami’ty mofo piti’e, vaho hiavotse.
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."
Niambesatse amy zao iereo roroe, nikama naho ninoñe, le hoe ty rae’ i ampelay amy ‘ndatiy, Ehe te hahafale azo ty hitambatse atoy, hampihaha ty arofo’o.
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
Aa ie niongake hañavelo indatiy, le nanjitse aze ty rafoza’e hitambatse ao hey hialeñe.
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.
Niampitso amy andro faha-limey re hañavelo, fa hoe ty rae’i ampelay: Ehe, ampitofào ty arofo’o, vaho mahaliñisa ampara’ te miroñe ty andro; aa le nikama iereo roe.
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."
Ie niongake hienga mb’eo indatiy, ie naho i sakeza’ey vaho i mpitoro’ey; le hoe ty asa’ i rafoza’e, rae’ i ampelaiy ama’e: Hehe te ho haleñe i àndroy; Ehe mialeña atoa, hahafale ty arofo’o, le hañaleñalen-drehe te maray hañavelo mb’ an-kiboho’o mb’eo.
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.
Fe tsy nimete nialeñe ao ka indatiy; niongake re, niavotse vaho niary e Iebose, toe Ierosalaime; ama’e i borìke roe reke-pitobohañe rey, naho i sakeza’ey.
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."
Aa ie narine Iebose, le fa ho nitsofotse i àndroy vaho hoe i mpitoroñey amy talè’ey, Antao hitsile mb’ amo rova’ o nte-Ieboseo mb’eo, hialeñe ao.
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."
Fa hoe i talè’ey tama’e: Tsy hitsile etoa tika, himoak’ an-drovan’ ambahiny ao ie tsy a o ana’ Israeleo; hionjomb’e Gebà mb’eo tika.
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."
Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Antao hañarine ty raik’ amo toetse zao hialeñan-tika: ke e Gebà he e Ramà ao.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Aa le nionjoñe iereo nanjotike mb’eo, ampara’ te nitsofotse ty àndro, ie marine’ i Gebà’ i Beniamine.
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.
Niveve mb’eo iereo, nimoake, hialeñe e Gebà ao; le nizilik’ ao nitoboke an-kiririsa’ i rovay amy te tsy eo ty nampihova iareo añ’anjomba’e.
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.
Ingo amy zao, ty androanavy boak’ añ’ava, an-tete’e añe amy harivay, boak’ am-bohi’ i Efraime nañialo e Gebà ao, fa ana’ Iemený ka ondaty an-toetseo.
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?"
Niandra amy zao i androanaviy, nahaoniñe i mpañavelo an-tamea’ i rovay vaho hoe re tama’e: Homb’aia irehe, naho boak’aia?
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.
Le hoe re tama’e: Fiboaha’ay ty Betlekheme’ Iehoda mionjoñe mb’añ’ ila’ i vohi’ Efraimey mb’eo, i nihirifakoy, te Betlekheme’ Iehoda hey, le mb’an-kiboho’ Iehovà mb’eo, fe tsy eo ty mampihova anay añ’ anjomba’e,
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."
ndra te aman’ ahetse naho haneñe o borìke’aio vaho ao ty mofo naho divay ho anay naho o mpitoro’o ampelao naho i ajalahy mindre amo mpitoro’ooy; toe tsy amam-pipaiañe.
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."
Le hoe i androanaviy, Fañanintsiñe ama’o; hene apoho amako ze mete ho paia’o fe ko mialeñe an-tameañe atoy.
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Aa le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’e ao, naho finaha’e ahetse o borìkeo. Nanasa fandia iareo, le nikama vaho ninoñe.
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."
Aa ie nampifale arofo le niheo mb’eo ondati’ i rovaio, ondaty tsy manjofakeo haname i anjombay mb’ atia mb’ aroa naho namofoke i lala’ey vaho nanao amy tompon’ anjombay, amy androanaviy ty hoe, akaro indaty nizilik’ an-kiboho’oy, haharendreha’ay aze.
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.
Niakatse mb’am’ iereo ao amy zao indatiy, i tompon’ anjombay, nanao ty hoe ama’e, Tsie, ry longokoo, ehe, ko manao o halò-tsereke zao, oniñe te nizilik’ añ’ akibako atoy indatiy, ko anoe’ areo o hatsivokarañe zao.
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."
Ingo ty somondrara anak’ ampelako naho i sakeza’ey; hakareko iereo henaneo, ampiambaneo, le ano ze atao’ areo ho soa; fa ko manao o hagegeañe zao amy ‘ndatiy.
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.
Fe tsy hinao’ ondatio, aa le rinambe’ indatiy i sakeza’ey naho nasese’e mb’am’ iereo; le nandrendrek’ aze iareo vaho nivahora’ iareo ampara’ te niporea’ ty maray; aa ie ho nanjirike i àndroy, le navotso’ iareo.
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
Aa le nimb’eo ami’ty mielizava i ampelay nikorovoke an-dalan’ anjomba’ indaty niheove’ i talè’ey ampara’ te nazava.
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.
Nitroatse te manjirik’ àndro i talè’ey nanokake o lalan’ anjombao vaho niakatse hiavota’e mb’eo fe heheke i ampela sakeza’ey nibabok’ an-dala’ i anjombay eo, o taña’eo an’ tokonañe eo.
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.
Le hoe re ama’e, miongaha, fa hionjomb’eo tika; f’ie tsy amam-panoiñe; aa le niongake indatiy naho nasampe’e amy borikey, vaho noly mb’an-toe’e mb’ eo.
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.
Aa ie pok’an-kiboho’e ao, nangalake meso naho rinambe’e i sakeza’ey le tinori’e folo-ro’amby, fange am-pange’e, vaho hene nampihitrife’e mb’ amo efe’ Israeleo mb’eo.
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.'"
Aa le hoe ty natao’ o nandrendrek’ azeo, Mbe lia’e tsy nanoeñe, tsy nioniñe o sata zao sikal’ amy andro niavota’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mitsraimey ampara’ te henane, ivetsevetseo, isafirio, vaho ifanaontsio.
