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.
Naqueles dias, quando não havia rei em Israel, houve um levita que morava como peregrino nos lados do monte de Efraim, o qual se havia tomado mulher concubina de Belém de Judá.
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.
E sua concubina adulterou contra ele, e foi-se dele à casa de seu pai, a Belém de Judá, e esteve ali por tempo de quatro meses.
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.
E levantou-se seu marido, e seguiu-a, para falar-lhe amorosamente e trazê-la de volta, levando consigo um criado seu e um par de asnos; e ela o meteu na casa de seu pai.
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.
E vendo-lhe o pai da moça, saiu-lhe a receber contente; e seu sogro, pai da moça, o deteve, e ficou em sua casa três dias, comendo e bebendo, e repousando ali.
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."
E ao quarto dia, quando se levantaram de manhã, levantou-se também o levita para ir-se, e o pai da moça disse a seu genro: Conforta teu coração com um bocado de pão, e depois vos ireis.
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."
E sentaram-se eles dois juntos, e comeram e beberam. E o pai da moça disse ao homem: Eu te rogo que te queiras ficar aqui esta noite, e teu coração se alegrará.
7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
E levantando-se o homem para ir-se, o sogro lhe constrangeu a que voltasse e tivesse ali a noite.
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.
E ao quinto dia levantando-se de manhã para ir-se, disse-lhe o pai da moça: Conforta agora teu coração. E havendo comido ambos a dois, detiveram-se até que já declinava o dia.
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."
Levantou-se logo o homem para ir-se, ele, e sua concubina, e seu criado. Então seu sogro, o pai da moça, lhe disse: Eis que o dia declina para se pôr o sol, rogo-te que vos estejais aqui a noite; eis que o dia se acaba, passa aqui a noite, para que se alegre teu coração; e amanhã vos levantareis cedo a vosso caminho, e chegarás a tuas tendas.
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.
Mas o homem não quis ficar ali a noite, mas sim que se levantou e partiu, e chegou até em frente de Jebus, que é Jerusalém, com seu par de asnos preparados, e com sua concubina.
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."
E estando já junto a Jebus, o dia havia declinado muito: e disse o criado a seu senhor: Vem agora, e vamo-nos a esta cidade dos jebuseus, para que tenhamos nela a noite.
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."
E seu senhor lhe respondeu: Não iremos a nenhuma cidade de estrangeiros, que não seja dos filhos de Israel: antes passaremos até Gibeá. E disse a seu criado:
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."
Vem, cheguemos a um desses lugares, para ter a noite em Gibeá, ou em Ramá.
14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Passando pois, caminharam, e o sol se pôs junto a Gibeá, que era de Benjamim.
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.
E apartaram-se do caminho para entrar a ter ali a noite em Gibeá; e entrando, sentaram-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os acolhesse em casa para passar a noite.
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.
E eis que um homem velho, que à tarde vinha do campo de trabalhar; o qual era do monte de Efraim, e morava como peregrino em Gibeá, mas os moradores daquele lugar eram filhos de Benjamim.
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?"
E levantando o velho os olhos, viu aquele viajante na praça da cidade, e disse-lhe: Para onde vais, e de onde vens?
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.
E ele respondeu: Passamos de Belém de Judá aos lados do monte de Efraim, de onde eu sou; e parti até Belém de Judá; e vou à casa do SENHOR, e não há quem me receba em casa,
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."
Ainda que nós tenhamos palha e de comer para nossos asnos, e também temos pão e vinho para mim e para tua serva, e para o criado que está com teu servo; de nada temos falta.
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."
E o homem velho disse: Paz seja contigo; tua necessidade toda seja somente a meu cargo, contanto que não passes a noite na praça.
21 So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
E metendo-os em sua casa, deu de comer a seus asnos; e eles se lavaram os pés, e comeram e beberam.
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."
E quando estavam jubilosos, eis que os homens daquela cidade, homens malignos, cercam a casa, e batiam as portas, dizendo ao homem velho dono da casa: Tira fora o homem que entrou em tua casa, para que o conheçamos.
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.
E saindo a eles aquele homem, amo da casa, disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, rogo-vos que não cometais este mal, pois que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façais esta maldade.
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."
Eis aqui minha filha virgem, e a concubina dele: eu as tirarei agora para vós; humilhai-as, e fazei com elas como vos parecer, e não façais a este homem coisa tão infame.
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.
Mas aqueles homens não lhe quiseram ouvir; pelo que tomando aquele homem sua concubina, tirou-a fora: e eles a conheceram, e abusaram dela toda a noite até a manhã, e deixaram-na quando apontava a alva.
26 Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
E já que amanhecia, a mulher veio, e caiu diante da porta da casa daquele homem onde seu senhor estava, até que foi de dia.
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.
E levantando-se de manhã seu senhor, abriu as portas da casa, e saiu para ir seu caminho, e eis que, a mulher sua concubina estava estendida diante da porta da casa, com as mãos sobre o umbral.
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.
E ele lhe disse: Levanta-te, e vamo-nos. Mas ela não respondeu. Então a levantou o homem, e lançando-a sobre seu asno, levantou-se e foi-se a seu lugar.
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.
E em chegando à sua casa, toma uma espada, pegou sua concubina, e despedaçou-a com seus ossos em doze partes, e enviou-as por todos os termos de Israel.
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.'"
E todo aquele que o via, dizia: Jamais se fez nem visto tal coisa, desde o tempo que os filhos de Israel subiram da terra do Egito até hoje. Considerai isto, dai conselho, e falai.
