1 And it was in the days those and [was] a king there not in Israel and he was - a man a Levite sojourning in [the] remotest parts of [the] hill country of Ephraim and he took for himself a woman a concubine from Beth-lehem Judah.
Og det skete i de samme Dage, da der ingen Konge var i Israel, at der var en levitisk Mand, som opholdt sig som fremmed i de fjernere Egne af Efraims Bjerg og havde taget sig en Kvinde til Medhustru fra Bethlehem i Juda.
2 And she was angry towards him concubine his and she went from with him to [the] house of father her to Beth-lehem Judah and she was there days four months.
Og der hans Medhustru havde bedrevet Hor hos ham, da gik hun fra ham til sin Faders Hus, til Bethlehem i Juda; og hun blev der en fire Maaneders Tid.
3 And he arose husband her and he went after her to speak to heart her (to bring back her *Q(K)*) and servant his [was] with him and a pair of donkeys and she brought him [the] house of father her and he saw him [the] father of the young woman and he was glad to meet him.
Og hendes Mand gjorde sig rede og gik efter hende, at han vilde tale kærligen med hende for at føre hende tilbage, og han havde sin Dreng og et Par Asener med sig; og hun førte ham ind i sin Faders Hus, og der den unge Kvindes Fader saa ham, da blev han glad og gik ham i Møde.
4 And he took hold on him father-in-law his [the] father of the young woman and he remained with him three days and they ate and they drank and they spent [the] night there.
Og hans Svigerfader, Kvindens Fader, holdt paa ham, at han blev hos ham i tre Dage; og de aade og drak og bleve der om Natten.
5 And it was on the day fourth and they rose early in the morning and he arose to go and he said [the] father of the young woman to son-in-law his sustain heart your a morsel of bread and after you will go.
Og det skete paa den fjerde Dag, da stode de aarle op om Morgenen, og han gjorde sig rede til at gaa; da sagde den unge Kvindes Fader til sin Svigersøn: Vederkvæg dit Hjerte med et Stykke Brød, og derefter maa I gaa.
6 And they sat down and they ate [the] two of them together and they drank and he said [the] father of the young woman to the man be willing please and spend [the] night so it may be good heart your.
Og de satte sig og aade begge tilsammen og drak; da sagde den unge Kvindes Fader til Manden: Kære, samtyk, og bliv Natten over og lad dit Hjerte være vel til Mode.
7 And he arose the man to go and he urged him father-in-law his and he turned back and he spent [the] night there.
Og Manden stod op for at gaa, og hans Svigerfader nødte ham, og han vendte tilbage og blev der om Natten.
8 And he rose early in the morning on the day fifth to go and he said - [the] father of the young woman sustain please heart your and delay until declines the day and they ate [the] two of them.
Og han stod aarle op om Morgenen paa den femte Dag for at gaa, da sagde den unge Kvindes Fader: Kære, vederkvæg dit Hjerte; og de tøvede, indtil Dagen hældede, og de aade begge.
9 And he arose the man to go he and concubine his and servant his and he said to him father-in-law his [the] father of the young woman here! please it is sinking the day to become evening spend [the] night please here! to decline the day spend [the] night here so it may be good heart your and you will rise early tomorrow for journey your and you will go to tent your.
Og Manden stod op for at gaa, han og hans Medhustru og hans Dreng; men hans Svigerfader, den unge Kvindes Fader, sagde til ham: Se, kære, Dagen lider, og det bliver Aften, kære, bliver Natten over; se, Dagen er ad Ende, bliv her i Nat og lad dit Hjerte være vel til Mode, saa kunne I i Morgen staa aarle op for at gaa eders Vej, og du kan gaa til dit Telt.
10 And not he was willing the man to spend [the] night and he arose and he went and he came to opposite Jebus that [is] Jerusalem and [were] with him a pair of donkeys saddled and concubine his [was] with him.
Men Manden vilde ikke blive om Natten, men gjorde sig rede og gik bort og kom til tværs over for Jebus, det er Jerusalem; og et Par sadlede Asener vare med ham, og hans Medhustru var med ham.
11 They [were] near Jebus and the day it had gone down exceedingly and he said the servant to master his come! please so let us turn aside to [the] city of the Jebusite[s] this so we may spend [the] night in it.
Da de vare ved Jebus, hældede Dagen saare, og Drengen sagde til sin Herre: Kære, kom og lad os tage ind i denne Jebusiternes Stad og blive der i Nat.
12 And he said to him master his not we will turn aside to a city foreign who not [are] of [the] people of Israel they and we will pass on to Gibeah.
Da sagde hans Herre til ham: Vi ville ikke tage ind i en fremmed Stad, som ikke tilhører Israels Børn; men vi ville gaa forbi til Gibea.
13 And he said to servant his (come! *Q(K)*) so let us drew near at one of the places and we will spend [the] night in Gibeah or in Ramah.
Og han sagde til sin Dreng: Gak frem, at vi kunne komme nær til een af Stæderne, og vi ville blive i Nat udi Gibea eller i Bama.
14 And they passed on and they went and it went for them the sun beside Gibeah which [belongs] to Benjamin.
Og de gik forbi og vandrede, og Solen gik ned for dem, der de vare hart ved Gibea, som hører Benjamin til.
15 And they turned aside there to go to spend [the] night in Gibeah and he went and he sat in [the] open square of the city and not anyone [was] receiving them the house towards to spend [the] night.
Og de toge ind der og kom for at blive Natten over i Gibea; og der han kom ind, da satte han sig paa Gaden i Staden; thi der var ingen, som annammede dem i Hus og lod dem blive hos sig om Natten.
16 And there! - a man old [was] coming from work his from the field in the evening and the man [was] from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he [was] sojourning in Gibeah and [the] men of the place [were] Ben-jaminites.
Og se, der kom en gammel Mand fra sin Gerning fra Marken om Aftenen, og Manden var fra Efraims Bjerg, og han var en fremmed i Gibea, men Mændene paa det Sted vare Benjaminiter.
17 And he lifted up eyes his and he saw the man who was traveling in [the] open square of the city and he said the man old where? are you going and from where? are you coming.
Og han opløftede sine Øjne og saa den vejfarende Mand paa Stadens Gade; da sagde den gamle Mand: Hvor vil du gaa hen, og hvorfra kommer du?
18 And he said to him [are] passing we from Beth-lehem Judah to [the] remotest parts of [the] hill country of Ephraim [am] from there I and I went to Beth-lehem Judah and [the] house of Yahweh I [am] going and not anyone [was] receiving me the house towards.
Og han sagde til ham: Vi gaa fra Bethlehem i Juda til de fjernere Egne af Efraims Bjerg, hvor jeg er fra, og jeg var gangen til Bethlehem i Juda; men jeg gaar til Herrens Hus, og der er ingen Mand, som annammer mig i Hus.
19 And [are] both straw as well as fodder there for donkeys our and [are] also food and wine there for me and for maidservant your and for the servant with servants your there not [is] lack of any thing.
Og jeg har baade Straa og Foder til vore Asener, saa har jeg og Brød og Vin til mig og din Tjenestekvinde og til Drengen, som er med din Tjener; vi have ingen Mangel paa nogen Ting.
20 And he said the man old peace [be] to you certainly all lack your [is] on me only in the open square may not you spend [the] night.
Og den gamle Mand sagde: Fred være med dig, lad ikkun, hvad du trænger til, være min Sag; bliv kun ikke Natten over paa Gaden.
21 And he brought him to house his (and he fed *Q(k)*) the donkeys and they washed feet their and they ate and they drank.
Og han førte ham ind i sit Hus og gav Asenerne Foder; og de toede deres Fødder, og de aade og drak.
22 They [were] making good heart their and there! [the] men of the city men of sons of worthlessness they surrounded the house beating violently on the door and they said to the man [the] master of the house old saying bring out the man who he came to house your so we may know him.
Der disse gjorde deres Hjerter til Gode, se, da omringede Mændene af Staden, Mænd, som vare Belials Børn, Huset, og bankede paa Døren; og de sagde til den gamle Mand, som var Husets Herre, sigende: Før den Mand ud, som kom i dit Hus, at vi kunne kende ham.
23 And he went out to them the man [the] master of the house and he said to them may [you] not O brothers my may not you do evil please after that he has come the man this may [you] not house my may not you do the disgraceful folly this.
Men den Mand, som var Husets Herre, gik ud til dem, og sagde til dem: Ikke saa, mine Brødre, gører ikke ondt; efter at denne Mand er kommen i mit Hus, saa gører dog ikke denne Daarlighed!
24 Here! daughter my the virgin and concubine his let me bring out please them and afflict them and do to them the good in view your and to the man this not you must do [the] thing of disgraceful folly this.
Se, her er min Datter, som er Jomfru, og hans Medhustru; dem vil jeg udføre, og dem maa I krænke og gøre ved dem, hvad som godt er for eders Øjne; men gører ikke denne daarlige Gerning mod denne Mand!
25 And not they were willing the men to listen to him and he took hold the man on concubine his and he brought [her] out to them outside and they knew her and they abused her all the night until the morning and they let go her (just as came up *Q(K)*) the dawn.
Men Mændene vilde ikke høre ham; da tog Manden fat paa sin Medhustru og førte hende ud til dem udenfor; og de kendte hende og handlede skændeligen med hende den ganske Nat indtil om Morgenen, men der Morgenrøden gik op, lode de hende fare.
26 And she came the woman to [the] turning of the morning and she fell [the] entrance of [the] house of the man where master her [was] there until the light.
Da kom Kvinden, der Morgenen frembrød, og hun faldt ned for Døren af den Mands Hus, hvor hendes Herre var inde, indtil det blev lyst.
27 And he arose master her in the morning and he opened [the] doors of the house and he went out to go to way his and there! the woman concubine his [was] falling [the] entrance of the house and hands her [were] on the threshold.
Og der hendes Herre stod op om Morgenen og oplod Dørene paa Huset og gik ud at vandre sin Vej, se, da var Kvinden, hans Medhustru, falden foran Husets Dør, og hendes Hænder laa paa Dørtærskelen.
28 And he said to her get up so let us go and there not [was one who] answered and he took her on the donkey and he arose the man and he went to place his.
Da sagde han til hende: Staa op og lad os vandre, men ingen svarede; da tog han hende op paa Asenet, og Manden gjorde sig rede og gik til sit Sted.
29 And he came to house his and he took the knife and he took hold on concubine his and he cut in pieces her to bones her into two [plus] ten pieces and he sent out her in all [the] territory of Israel.
Og der han kom til sit Hus, da tog han en Kniv og tog fat paa sin Medhustru og huggede hende efter hendes Ben i tolv Stykker, og han sendte hende om til alt Israels Landemærke.
30 And it was every [one who] saw and he said not it has occurred and not it has been seen like this from [the] day came up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt until the day this set for yourselves on it take counsel and speak.
Og det skete, hver den, som saa det, sagde: Saadant er ikke sket eller set fra den Dag, Israels Børn droge op af Ægyptens Land, indtil denne Dag; tager dette til Hjerte, giver Raad og siger frem!
