Judges 19
1 And it came to pass in those days, when, king, there was none in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem-judah.
Na mikolo oyo mokonzi azalaki te kati na Isalaele, Molevi moko oyo azalaki kovanda na suka ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi azwaki lokola makangu mwasi ya mboka Beteleemi kati na Yuda.
2 And his concubine went astray against him, and departed from him, unto the house of her father, in Bethlehem-judah, —and remained there, the space of four months.
Kasi makangu yango atambolaki na ekobo liboso na ye, alongwaki na libala mpe azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye, na Beteleemi kati na Yuda. Sima na basanza minei wuta azongaki na ndako ya tata na ye,
3 Then arose her husband, and went after her, to speak unto her heart, that he might bring her back again, having his young man with him, and a couple of asses, —and she brought him into the house of her father, and, when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
mobali na ye ayaki epai na ye mpo na kobondela ye ete azonga na libala. Mobali ayaki elongo na mosali na ye mpe amemaki ba-ane mibale. Mwasi yango akotisaki mobali na ye kati na ndako ya tata na ye; mpe tango tata na ye amonaki mobali yango, asepelaki koyamba ye.
4 And his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, constrained him, and he abode with him three days, —and they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
Tata-bokilo na ye, tata ya mwana mwasi, akangaki ye mpo ete avanda mwa moke. Boye avandaki na ye mikolo misato, aliaki, amelaki mpe alalaki kuna.
5 And it came to pass, on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, and gat up to go, that the father of the damsel said unto his son-in-law, —Stay thy heart with a morsel of bread, and, afterwards, ye shall go your way.
Na mokolo ya minei, balamukaki na tongo-tongo, mpe Molevi abongamaki mpo na kokende. Kasi tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki na bokilo na ye: « Lia mwa eloko mpo ete ozwa makasi; bongo sima, okoki na yo kokende. »
6 So they both of them sat down and did eat together, and drink. Then said the father of the damsel unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry the night, and let thy heart be glad.
Boye, bango mibale bavandaki esika moko mpo na kolia mpe komela. Sima na yango, tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki: « Nabondeli yo, vanda lisusu, na butu ya lelo, mpo ete motema na yo esepela. »
7 And, when the man rose up to go, his father-in-law pressed him, so he turned back and tarried the night there.
Mobali atelemaki mpo na kokende; kasi lokola tata-bokilo na ye abondelaki ye makasi ete avanda, avandaki kuna na butu yango.
8 And, when he arose early on the morning of the fifth day, to go, the father of the damsel said—Come now, stay thy heart, and tarry ye until the decline of the day. And they did eat, both of them.
Na tongo ya mokolo ya mitano, tango mobali alamukaki, tata ya mwana mwasi alobaki: « Lia mwa eloko mpo ete ozwa makasi, zela kino na sima ya midi. » Boye, bango mibale baliaki mesa moko.
9 And, when the man rose up to go—he and his concubine and his young man, —his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, said to him, Come now, see! the day hath sunk down towards evening, come now! tarry the night; lo! the day goeth down, tarry the night here, and let thy heart be glad, so shall ye rise early to-morrow for your journey, and thou shalt go thy way to thine own home.
Tango mobali elongo na makangu na ye mpe mosali na ye batelemaki mpo na kokende, tata-bokilo na ye, tata ya mwana mwasi, alobaki na ye: « Tala, pokwa esili koya! Nabondeli yo: lekisa lisusu butu awa; mokolo esili, vanda mpe sepelisa motema na yo. Bongo lobi, na tongo-tongo, bokoki kotelema mpo na kokende, mpe okozonga na ndako na yo. »
10 But the man would not tarry the night, but rose up and went his way, and came as far as over against Jebus, the same, is Jerusalem, —and, with him, were a couple of asses, saddled, his concubine also, was with him.
Kasi mosali asepelaki te kolekisa butu mosusu; alongwaki mpe, elongo na ba-ane na ye mibale mpe makangu na ye, akendeki na Yebusi oyo ezali Yelusalemi. Ba-ane na ye ezalaki na bivandelo ya malamu penza.
11 They being by Jebus, and, the day, having gone far down, the young man said unto his lord—Do come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and tarry the night therein.
Tango bakomaki pembeni ya Yebusi mpe mokolo ekomaki pene ya kosila, mosali alobaki na nkolo na ye: — Nabondeli yo, tokota na engumba oyo ya bato ya Yebusi mpe tolekisa kuna butu.
12 And his lord said unto him, We will not turn aside into a city of aliens, who are, not of the sons of Israel, —but will pass on as far as Gibeah.
Nkolo azongiselaki ye: — Te, tokotelema te na engumba oyo ya bapaya, epai wapi ata mwana moko te ya Isalaele azali; tokokoma kino na Gibea.
13 And he said to his young man, Come and let us draw near unto one of the places, —and tarry the night in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Alobaki lisusu na mosali na ye: — Yaka, topusana pene na moko ya bamboka oyo; bongo tokolekisa butu kati na Gibea to na Rama.
14 So they passed on, and went their way, —and the sun went in upon them beside Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Boye bakobaki kotambola, mpe moyi ebungaki tango bakomaki pene ya Gibea, kati na mokili ya Benjame.
15 Then turned they aside there, to go in and tarry the night in Gibeah, —so he went in and abode in the broadway of the city; and there was no one minded to take them into a house, to tarry the night.
Batelemaki na Gibea mpo na kolekisa butu. Bakotaki mpe bavandaki na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka, kasi moto moko te ayambaki bango na ndako na ye mpo na kolekisa butu.
16 But lo! an old man, coming in from his work, out of the field, in the evening, and, the man, was from the hill country of Ephraim, he himself, being a sojourner in Gibeah, —but, the men of the place, were Benjamites.
Na pokwa, mobali moko ya mobange awutaki na mosala na ye ya bilanga; azalaki moto ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi mpe azalaki kovanda na Gibea. Nzokande bato ya esika wana bazalaki bato ya libota ya Benjame.
17 So he lifted up his eyes, and saw a wayfaring man in the broadway of the city, —and the old man said—Whither goest thou? and from whence hast thou come?
Tango atombolaki miso, amonaki moto ya mobembo na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka. Mobange yango atunaki ye: — Okeyi wapi mpe owuti wapi?
18 And he said unto him—We, are passing along, from Bethlehem-judah, unto the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, whence I am, but I have been as far as Bethlehem-judah, and now, unto the house of Yahweh, am I going, and there is no one minded to take me into a house.
Moto ya mobembo azongiselaki ye: — Towuti na Beteleemi ya Yuda; tozali kokende na esika oyo navandaka, na suka ya mboka ya etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Nazalaki na Beteleemi, na Yuda, sik’oyo nazali kokende na Ndako ya Yawe. Moto moko te ayambi ngai kati na ndako na ye.
19 Nevertheless, straw and fodder too, is there for our asses, yea moreover, bread and wine, there are for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man that is with thy servants, —there is lack, of nothing.
Nzokande tozali na matiti mpe biloko mpo na ba-ane na biso mibale, tozali lisusu na lipa mpe vino mpo na ngai, mwasi na ngai mpe mosali na ngai moko oyo nazali na ye elongo; tozangi eloko moko te.
20 And the old man said—Thou art welcome! only, all thy wants, be on me, —by no means, in the broadway, mayest thou lodge.
Mobange yango alobaki: — Tika ete kimia ezala na yo! Bosenga na yo nyonso ekozala na moto na ngai. Kasi kolekisa butu te na esika oyo bato ebele ya engumba bakutanaka.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender to the asses, —and they bathed their feet, and did eat and drink.
Akotisaki bango na ndako na ye mpe apesaki ba-ane na ye matiti. Sima, basukolaki makolo, baliaki mpe bamelaki.
22 They, were gladdening their heart, when lo! men of the city, men of the sons of the Abandoned One, beset the house round about, beating violently against the door, —and they spake unto the old man the owner of the house, saying, Bring forth the man that hath entered into thy house, that we may know him.
Wana bazalaki nanu kolia mpe komela, ndambo ya mibali ya engumba, ya mitema mabe, bazingelaki ndako; babetaki na ekuke mpe balobaki na mobange oyo azalaki nkolo ndako: — Bimisa mosali oyo ayei na ndako na yo; tolingi kosangisa na ye nzoto ndenge basangisaka nzoto na basi.
23 And the man, the owner of the house, went forth unto them, and said unto them, Do not, my brethren, do not act vilely, I pray you, —after this man hath entered into my house, do not commit this impiety.
Nkolo ndako abimaki libanda mpe alobaki na bango: — Te, bandeko na ngai, bozala mabe boye te! Lokola mobali oyo azali kati na ndako na ngai, bosala ye mabe oyo te.
24 Lo, my virgin daughter, and his concubine, I must needs now bring, them, forth, and ye must humble, them, and do, unto them, what seemeth good in your own eyes, —but, unto this man, must ye not do this impious thing!
Botala mwana na ngai ya mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe makangu ya mobali oyo azali kati na ndako! Nazali kobimisa bango sik’oyo libanda mpo na bino mpo ete bokoka kosala bango nyonso oyo bolingi. Kasi mpo na mobali oyo, bosala likambo ya soni ya boye te.
25 But the men would not hearken unto him, so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto them, outside, —and they knew, her, and abused her all the night, until the morning, and let her go at the uprisings of the dawn.
Kasi mibali yango baboyaki koyokela ye. Boye mobali azwaki makangu na ye mpe abimisaki ye libanda epai na bango. Bakangaki ye mpe basangisaki na ye nzoto na makasi, butu mobimba; mpe tango tongo ekomaki pene ya kotana, batikaki ye akende.
26 So the woman came in at the turnings of the morning, —and fell down at the entrance of the man’s house where her lord was, and [lay there] till it was light.
Tango tongo ezali kotana, mwasi azongaki na ndako epai wapi mobali na ye azalaki, akweyaki na ekuke mpe alelaki wana kino tongo etanaki malamu.
27 So then her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went forth, to go on his journey, —when lo! the woman, his concubine, fallen at the entrance of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
Na tongo, tango mobali na ye alamukaki, afungolaki ekuke ya ndako mpo na kobima libanda mpe kokoba mobembo na ye; amonaki makangu na ye alali na ekuke ya ndako, maboko liboso ya ekuke.
28 And he said unto her—Up! and let us be going. But there was no answer. So he took her up on the ass, and the man rose up, and went his way to his own place.
Alobaki na ye: « Telema; tokende! » Kasi azwaki eyano te. Bongo mobali yango atiaki makangu na ye na likolo ya ane na ye, akobaki mobembo na ye mpo na kozonga na ndako na ye.
29 And, when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, —and sent her throughout all the bounds of Israel.
Tango akomaki na ndako na ye, azwaki mbeli, akataki nzoto ya makangu na ye na biteni zomi na mibale mpe atindaki yango na etando nyonso ya Isalaele.
30 And so it was, that every one who beheld said—There hath not happened, nor been seen the like of this, from the day when the sons of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt, until this day: Put it to yourselves contemning it, take counsel and speak!
Moto nyonso oyo amonaki yango alobaki: « Likambo ya boye nanu namona yango te mpe nanu esalema te, wuta mokolo oyo bana ya Isalaele babimaki na Ejipito. Bokanisa na tina na yango, botala yango malamu mpe boyebisa biso nini tosengeli kosala. »
