Matukũ-inĩ macio Isiraeli gũtiarĩ na mũthamaki. Na rĩrĩ, Mũlawii watũũraga kũndũ kũraya thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu nĩaigire thuriya ya kuuma Bethilehemu kũu 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.
No thuriya ĩyo ĩkĩaga kwĩhokeka kũrĩ we. Nayo ĩkĩmũtiga ĩgĩcooka mũciĩ gwa ithe kũu Bethilehemu ya Juda. Thuutha wa gũkorwo kũu mĩeri ĩna,
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.

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.
Mũthoni-we, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio, akĩmũringĩrĩria aikare; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩikara hamwe nake mĩthenya ĩtatũ, arĩĩaga na akanyua, na agakoma kuo.
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.
Mũthenya wa ĩna magĩũkĩra tene na akĩĩhaarĩria oimagare, no ithe wa mũirĩtu akĩĩra mũthoni-we ũcio atĩrĩ, “Wĩkenie na kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa; ũgĩcooke ũgĩthiĩ.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio eerĩ magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua. Thuutha-inĩ ithe wa mũirĩtu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha raara na wĩkenie.”
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.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio ookĩrire athiĩ, mũthoni-we akĩmũringĩrĩria araare; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩraara ũtukũ ũcio.
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.
Rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya wa gatano, okĩra athiĩ, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩkenie. Eterera nginya mĩaraho!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio eerĩ makĩrĩanĩra.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio, hamwe na thuriya yake na ndungata yake, mookĩrire mathiĩ, mũthoni-we, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ta thikĩrĩria, nĩ hakuhĩ hwaĩ-inĩ raarĩrĩra nĩ ũndũ gũkirie gũtuka. Ikara ũhurũke. Rũciũ rũciinĩ tene no ũũkĩre ũinũke.”
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.
No rĩrĩ, tondũ ndendire gũikara ũtukũ ũngĩ, mũndũ ũcio akiuma kuo agĩthiĩ erekeire mwena wa Jebusi (na nĩkuo, Jerusalemu), arĩ na ndigiri ciake cierĩ ciohetwo matandĩko na thuriya yake.
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.
Rĩrĩa maakuhĩrĩirie Jebusi na kũrĩ hakuhĩ gũtuka-rĩ, ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩĩra mwathi wayo atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, reke tũtithie gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene rĩa Ajebusi tũraarĩrĩre kuo.”
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.
Mwathi wayo agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca. Tũtigũtoonya itũũra inene rĩa andũ ageni, andũ a rĩo ti Aisiraeli. Tũgũthiĩ nginya tũkinye 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.
Nake akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ tũgerie gũkinya Gibea kana Rama na tũrarĩrĩre itũũra rĩmwe rĩamo.”
14 And they passed on and they went and it went for them the sun beside Gibeah which [belongs] to Benjamin.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ na mbere, narĩo riũa rĩgĩthũa magĩkorwo maakuhĩrĩria Gibea, kũu Benjamini.
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.
Kũu nĩkuo maatithirie maraarĩrĩre. Nao magĩthiĩ magĩikara thĩ kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩnene gĩa itũũra rĩu inene, no gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wamanyiitire ũgeni mararĩrĩre gwake.
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.
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio, mũthuuri ũmwe mũkũrũ wa kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, watũũraga Gibea, (andũ a kũu maarĩ Abenjamini), agĩũka oimĩte wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ.
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.
Na rĩrĩa aarorire akĩona mũgendi ũcio hau kĩhaaro-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, mũthuuri ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wathiĩ kũ na uumĩte kũ?”
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.
Agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tuumĩte Bethilehemu ya Juda twerekeire kũndũ kũraya thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu kũrĩa ndũũraga. Ndĩrarĩ Bethilehemu ya Juda na rĩu ndĩrathiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova. Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũũnyiitĩte ũgeni gwake.
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.
Ithuĩ tũrĩ na mahuti na irio cia ndigiri ciitũ na mĩgate na ndibei nĩ ũndũ witũ ithuĩ ndungata ciaku, niĩ, na ndungata yaku ya mũirĩtu, na mwanake ũyũ tũrĩ nake. Tũtikũbatario nĩ kĩndũ o na kĩ.”
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.
Nake mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩũnyiitĩtwo ũgeni nyũmba-inĩ ĩno yakwa, reke ngũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe ũbatarĩtio nĩkĩo, no ndũkaraare kĩhaaro.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũtoonyia nyũmba yake na akĩhe ndigiri ciake gĩa kũrĩa. Maarĩkia gwĩthamba magũrũ-rĩ, makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
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.
Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo meekenagia-rĩ, andũ amwe aaganu a itũũra rĩu inene makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ĩyo. Makĩhũũra mũrango, na makĩgũthũkĩra mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ ũrĩa warĩ mwene nyũmba ĩyo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ruta mũndũ ũcio ũũkire nyũmba yaku nĩguo tũkome nake.”
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.
Mwene nyũmba ĩyo akiuma na nja akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, arata akwa, mũtigeke ũndũ wa waganu ũguo. Kuona atĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũgeni wakwa-rĩ, tigai gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ wa thoni ũguo.
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.
Thikĩrĩriai, haha harĩ mũirĩtu wakwa gathirange, na thuriya ya mũgeni ũyũ. Nĩngũmaruta na nja kũrĩ inyuĩ rĩu, na no mũmahũthĩre na mũmeke o ũrĩa mũngĩenda. No mũndũ ũyũ-rĩ, mũtikamwĩke ũndũ wa thoni ta ũcio.”
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.
No andũ acio matiigana kũmũthikĩrĩria. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio akĩoya thuriya yake na akĩmĩruta na nja kũrĩ o, nao makĩmĩnyiita na hinya na makĩmĩnyariira ũtukũ wothe, na gwakĩa makĩreka ĩĩthiĩre.
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.
Na gũgĩthererũka-rĩ, mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩcooka nyũmba kũrĩa mwathi wake aarĩ, akĩgũa thĩ hau mũrango-inĩ, na agĩkoma ho nginya gũgĩkĩa.
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.
Na rĩrĩa mwathi wake ookĩrire rũciinĩ na akĩhingũra mũrango wa nyũmba akiuma nja nĩguo ethiĩre-rĩ, thuriya yake yakomete hau ĩgwĩte mũromo-inĩ wa nyũmba, namo moko mayo maarĩ hingĩro-inĩ.
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.
Nake akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra; reke tũthiĩ.” No ndĩacookirie. Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩcooka akĩmĩoya, akĩmĩigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, makĩinũka.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire mũciĩ-rĩ, akĩoya kahiũ agĩtinangia thuriya yake kĩĩga o kĩĩga icunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ, agĩcitũma ngʼongo ciothe cia Isiraeli,
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.
na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wonire ũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndũrĩ wonwo kana ũgĩĩkwo, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri. Teciriei ũhoro ũcio na mũwĩcũũranie, mũtwĩre ũrĩa tũgwĩka!”
