Judges 19
1 At that time the Israeli people had no king. There was a man from the tribe of Levi who lived in a remote place in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lives. He had previously taken as a wife a woman who was a slave. She was from Bethlehem, in the area where the tribe of Judah lives.
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, idi awan pay ti ari ti Israel, adda maysa a lalaki a Levita, agdama nga agnanaed idiay kasulsulinekan a disso iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim. Nangala isuna iti maysa a babai a kakabbalayna manipud idiay Betlehem iti Juda.
2 But she started to sleep with other men also. Then she left him and returned to her father’s house in Bethlehem. She stayed there for four months.
Ngem saan a napudno kenkuana ti kabbalayna; pinanawanna isuna ket nagsubli iti balay ti amana idiay Betlehem iti Juda. Nagtalinaed isuna sadiay iti uppat a bulan.
3 Then her husband took his servant and two donkeys and went to Bethlehem. He went to ask her to come back to live with him again. When he arrived at her father’s house, she invited him to come in. Her father was happy to see him.
Kalpasanna, nagrubuat ti asawana ket sinurotna isuna tapno allukoyenna nga agsubli isuna. Kaduana ti adipenna, ken maysa a pares iti asno. Pinadanon isuna ti babai iti balay ti amana. Idi nakita isuna iti ama ti babai, naragsakan daytoy.
4 The woman’s father asked him to stay. So he stayed there for three days. During that time he ate and drank and slept there.
Inallukoy isuna ti katuganganna, nga ama ti babai, nga agtalinaed iti tallo nga aldaw. Nangan ken naginomda, ket pinalabasda ti rabii sadiay.
5 On the fourth day, they all got up early in the morning. The man from the tribe of Levi was preparing to leave, but the woman’s father said to him, “Eat something before you go.”
Iti maikapat nga aldaw, nasapada a bimmangon ket nagsagana isuna a pumanaw, ngem kinuna ti ama ti babai iti manugangna, “Papigsaem ti bagim babaen iti bassit a tinapay, kalpasanna mabalinmon ti mapan.”
6 So the two men sat down to eat and drink together. Then the woman’s father said to him, “Please stay another night. Relax/Rest and have a joyful time.”
Nagtugawda a dua tapno mangan ken uminomda. Ket kinuna ti ama ti babai, “Pangngaasim ta ummianka pay ket agragsakka.”
7 The man from the tribe of Levi wanted to leave, but the woman’s father requested him to stay one more night. So he stayed again that night.
Idi bimmangon a nasapa ti Levita tapno pumanaw, inallukoy isuna ti ama ti babai nga agtalinaed, isu a binaliwanna ti panggepna ket naturog manen sadiay.
8 On the fifth day, the man got up early and prepared to leave. But the woman’s father said to him again, “Have something to eat. Wait until this afternoon, [and then leave].” So the two men ate together.
Iti maikalima nga aldaw, nasapa a bimmangon isuna tapno pumanaw, ngem kinuna ti ama ti babai, “Papigsaem ti bagim, ket urayem a mumalem.” Isu a nanganda a dua.
9 In the afternoon, when the man from the tribe of Levi and his slave wife and his servant got up to leave, the woman’s father said, “It will soon be dark. The day is almost over. Stay here tonight and have a good/joyful time. Tomorrow morning you can get up early and leave for your home.”
Idi nagsaganan a pumanaw ti Levita, ti kakabkabbalayna ken ti adipenna, kinuna kenkuana ti ama ti babai a katuganganna, “Kitaenyo, mumalemen. Pangngaasiyo ta agtalinaedkayo pay iti maysa a rabii, ket agragsakkayo. Mabalinyo ti agrubuat a nasapa inton bigat nga agawid.”
10 But the man from the tribe of Levi did not want to stay for another night. He put saddles on his two donkeys, and started to go with his slave wife [and his servant] toward Jebus [city], which is [now named] Jerusalem.
Ngem saanen a kayat ti Levita iti umian. Nagrubuat isuna sa pimmanaw. Nagturong isuna iti Jebus (dayta ket ti Jerusalem). Addaan isuna iti maysa a pares iti asno a nasilyetaan—ket kaduana ti kabbalayna.
11 Late in the afternoon, they came near to Jebus. The servant said to his master, “We should stop in this city where the Jebus people-group live, and stay here tonight.”
Idi asidegdan iti Jebus, umadanin iti rabii, ket kinuna ti adipen iti amona, “Umaykayo, dumagastayo iti siudad dagiti Jebuseo ket palabasentayo ti rabii sadiay.”
12 But his master said, “No, it would not be good for us to stay here where foreign people live. There are no Israeli people here. We will go on to Gibeah [city].”
Kinuna ti amona kenkuana, “Saantayo a dumagas iti siudad dagiti ganggannaet, a saan a maibilang kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Mapantayo iti Gabaa.”
13 He said to his servant, “Let’s go. It is not far to Gibeah. We can go there, or we can go a bit further to Ramah. We can stay in one of those two cities tonight.”
Kinuna ti Levita iti agtutubo a taona, “Umaykayo, mapantayo iti maysa kadagidiay a lugar, ket umiantayo idiay Gabaa wenno idiay Rama.”
14 So they continued walking. When they came near Gibeah, where people from the tribe of Benjamin live, the sun was setting.
Isu a nagtuloyda a napan, ket lumneken ti init idi asidegdan iti Gabaa, iti masakupan ti Benjamin.
15 They stopped to stay there that night. They went to the public square of that city and sat down. But no one [who passed by] invited them to stay in their house for that night.
Nagdagusda sadiay tapno palabasenda ti rabii idiay Gabaa. Ket simrek isuna ken nagtugaw iti plasa, ta awan uray maysa ti nangpasangbay kadakuada iti balayna para iti rabii.
16 Finally, in the evening, an old man came by. He had been working in the fields. He was from the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim, but at that time he was living in Gibeah.
Ngem maysa a lakay iti sumungsungad iti dayta a rabii manipud iti nagubraanna a talon. Nagtaud isuna iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ken agnanaed isuna iti agdama iti Gabaa. Ngem dagiti tattao nga agnanaed iti dayta a lugar ket Benjamenita.
17 He realized that the man from the tribe of Levi was only traveling and did not have a home in that city. So he asked the man, “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
Intannawagna dagiti matana, ket nakitana iti plasa ti siudad ti agdaldaliasat. Kinuna ti lakay, “Papananyo? Naggapuanyo?”
18 He replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem to my home in the hilly area where people of the tribe of Ephraim live. I went from there to Bethlehem, but now we are going to [Shiloh] where Yahweh’s Sacred tent (OR, my house) is. No one here has invited us to stay in their house tonight.
Kinuna ti Levita kenkuana, “Naggapukami idiay Betlehem iti Juda ket agturongkami iti kasulsulinekan a paset iti katurturodan ti Efraim, nga isu ti naggapuak. Napanak idiay Betlehem iti Juda, ken mapanak iti balay ni Yahweh, ngem awan a pulos ti mangpasangbay kaniak iti balayna.
19 We have straw and food for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me and the young woman and my servant. We do not need anything else.”
Adda garami ken ipakanmi para kadagiti asnomi, ken adda tinapay ken arak para kaniak ken ti adipenmo a babai ditoy, ken para daytoy agtutubo a lalaki a kadua ti adipenmo. Awanen ti kasapulanmi.”
20 The old man said, “I wish that things will go well for you, but I would like to provide what you need. Do not stay here in the square tonight.”
Kinablaawan ida ti lakay, “Talna koma ti adda kadakayo! Siak ti makaammo kadagiti amin a kasapulanyo. Saankayo laeng nga umian iti plasa.
21 Then the old man took them to his house. He gave food to the donkeys. He [gave water to the man and the woman and the servant to] wash their feet. And he gave them something to eat and drink.
Pinastrek ngarud ti lakay ti Levita iti balayna ket pinakanna dagiti asno. Binuguanda dagiti sakada ket nangan ken imminomda.
22 While they were having a good/joyful time together, some wicked men from that city surrounded the house and started to bang on the door. They shouted to the old man, “Bring out to us the man who has come to your house. We want to have sex with him.”
Agragragsakda, idi pinalawlawan dagiti lallaki iti siudad ti balay, lallaki a nadangkes, pangpang-urenda ti ridaw. Kinasaritada ti lakay, ti amo iti balay, a kunkunada, “Paruarem ti lalaki a simrek iti balaymo, tapno makikaiddakami kenkuana.”
23 The old man went outside and said to them, “Friends, I will not do that. That would be a very evil thing. This man is a guest in my house. You should not do such a terrible/disgraceful/shameful thing!
Rimmuar ti lalaki, ti amo ti balay, ket kunana kadakuada, “Saan, kakabsatko, pangngaasiyo, saanyo nga aramiden daytoy a dakes a banag! Agsipud ta sangaili daytoy a tao iti balayko, saanyo nga aramiden daytoy a nadangkes a banag!
24 Look, my daughter is here. She is [still] a virgin. And this man’s slave wife is here. I will bring them out to you now. You may do to them whatever you wish, but do not do such a terrible/disgraceful/shameful thing to this young man!”
Kitaenyo, adda ditoy ti birhen nga anakko ken ti kakabkabbalayna. Palubosandak nga iruarko ida ita. Ranggasanyo ida ken aramidenyo ti aniaman a kayatyo kadakuada. Ngem saanyo nga aramiden ti kinadangkes iti daytoy a lalaki!”
25 But the men did not pay attention to what he said. So the man from the tribe of Levi took his slave wife and sent her to them, outside the house. They raped [EUP] her and abused her all night. Then at dawn, they allowed her to go.
Ngem saan a dumngeg dagiti lallaki kenkuana, isu a ginammatan ti lalaki ti kakabkabbalayna ket inruarna kadakuada. Ginammatanda isuna, kinaiddada, ken ginundawayanda isuna iti agpatnag, iti parbangon pinalubosanda isuna.
26 She returned to the old man’s house, where her husband was staying, but she fell down at the doorway and lay there all night.
Iti parbangon, napan ti babai iti balay ti lalaki nga ayan ti amona ket napasag iti ruangan, ken nagidda sadiay agingga iti aglawag.
27 In the morning, when the man from the tribe of Levi got up, he went outside of the house to continue his journey. He saw his slave wife lying there at the doorway of the house. Her hands were on the doorsill.
Bimmangon ti amona iti bigat ket linukatanna dagiti ruangan iti balay ket rimmuar a mapan iti dalanna. Nakitana ti kakabkabbalayna nga agid-idda idiay ruangan, a nakaunnat ti imana iti ayan ti ridaw.
28 He said to her, “Get up! Let’s go!” But she did not answer, [because she had died]. He put her body on the donkey and traveled to his home.
Kinuna ti Levita kenkuana, “Tumakderka. Intayon.” Ngem awan iti simmungbat. Impasakayna ti babai iti asno, ket nagrubuat ti lalaki nga agawid.
29 When he arrived home, he took a knife and cut the body of the slave woman into twelve pieces. Then he sent one piece to each area of Israel, [along with a message telling what had happened].
Idi nakasangpet ti Levita iti balayna, nangala isuna iti kutsilyo, ket tinengnelna ti kakabkabbalayna, ket pinutedputedna daytoy, rinangrangkayna, iti sangapulo ket dua a pidaso, ket inwarasna dagiti pidaso iti entero nga Israel.
30 Everyone who saw a piece of the body and the message said, “Nothing like this has ever happened before. Not since our ancestors left Egypt [have we heard of such a terrible thing]. We need to think carefully about it. Someone should decide what we should do.”
Kinuna dagiti amin a nakakita, “Awan pay iti napasamak wenno naimatangan a kasta a banag manipud iti aldaw a rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Israel iti Egipto agingga iti agdama nga aldaw. Panunotenyo daytoy! Balakadandakami! Ibagayo ti aramidenmi!”
