< Judges 19 >
1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a man, a Levite, living for a while in the most remote area of the hill country of Ephraim. He took for himself a woman, a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
Pripetilo se je v tistih dneh, ko ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, da je bil tam nek Lévijevec, [ki je] začasno prebival na pobočju gore Efrájim, ki si je vzel priležnico iz Judovega Betlehema.
2 But his concubine was unfaithful to him; she left him and went back to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah. She stayed there for four months.
Njegova priležnica je zoper njega igrala vlačugo in odšla proč od njega, v hišo svojega očeta v Judovem Betlehemu in bila tam cele štiri mesece.
3 Then her husband got up and went after her in order to persuade her to come back. His servant was with him, and a pair of donkeys. She brought him into her father's house. When the girl's father saw him, he was glad.
Njen soprog je vstal in odšel za njo, da ji prijateljsko govori in da jo ponovno privede. S seboj je imel svojega služabnika in nekaj oslov in privedla ga je v hišo svojega očeta. Ko ga je oče od gospodične zagledal, se je razveselil, da ga je srečal.
4 His father-in-law, the girl's father, persuaded him to stay for three days. They ate and drank, and they spent the night there.
Njegov tast, oče od gospodične, ga je zadržal in z njimi je ostal tri dni. Tako so jedli in pili ter tam prenočevali.
5 On the fourth day they got up early and he prepared to go, but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen yourself with a bit of bread, then you may go.”
Pripetilo se je na četrti dan, ko so zgodaj zjutraj vstali, da se je dvignil, da odide. Oče od gospodične pa je svojemu zetu rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce z grižljajem kruha in potem pojdi svojo pot.«
6 So the two of them sat down to eat and drink together. Then the girl's father said, “Please be willing to spend the night and have a good time.”
Oba skupaj sta se usedla, jedla in pila, kajti oče od gospodične je možu rekel: »Privoli, prosim te in ostani vso noč in naj bo tvoje srce veselo.«
7 When the Levite got up to leave, the father of the young woman urged him to stay, so he changed his plan and spent the night there again.
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, mu je tast prigovarjal, zato je tam ponovno prenočil.
8 On the fifth day he woke up early to leave, but the girl's father said, “Strengthen yourself, and wait until the afternoon.” So the two of them had a meal.
Vstal je zgodaj zjutraj, peti dan, da odide in oče od gospodične je rekel: »Potolaži svoje srce, prosim te.« Ostala sta do popoldneva in oba sta jedla.
9 When the Levite and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father said to him, “See, now the day is advancing toward evening. Please stay another night, and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and go back home.”
Ko je mož vstal, da odide, on, njegova priležnica in njegov služabnik, mu je tast, oče od gospodične, rekel: »Glej, sedaj se dan približuje večeru. Prosim te, ostani vso noč. Glej, dan gre h koncu, prenočuj tukaj, da bo tvoje srce lahko veselo in naslednji dan zgodaj pojdi na svojo pot, da boš lahko šel domov.«
10 But the Levite was not willing to spend the night. He got up and left. He went toward Jebus (that is Jerusalem). He had a pair of saddled donkeys—and his concubine was with him.
Toda mož to noč ni hotel ostati, temveč je vstal, odšel in prišel nasproti Jebúsa, ki je Jeruzalem in tam sta bila z njim dva osedlana osla in tudi njegova priležnica je bila z njim.
11 When they were near Jebus, the day was nearly over, and the servant said to his master, “Come, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it.”
In ko so bili pri Jebúsu, je bil dan že davno porabljen in služabnik je rekel svojemu gospodarju: »Pridi, prosim te in obrniva se v to mesto Jebusejcev in prenočiva v njem.«
12 His master said to him, “We will not turn aside into a city of foreigners who do not belong to the people of Israel. We will go on to Gibeah.”
Njegov gospodar pa mu je rekel: »Ne bomo zavili vstran, sèm v to mesto tujca, ki ni izmed Izraelovih otrok; prešli bomo do Gíbee.«
13 The Levite said to his young man, “Come, let us go to one of those other places, and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
Svojemu služabniku je rekel: »Pridi in približajmo se enemu izmed teh mest, da vso noč prenočimo v Gíbei ali v Rami.«
14 So they went on, and the sun set as they came near to Gibeah, in the territory of Benjamin.
Šli so naprej svojo pot in sonce je zašlo nad njimi, ko so bili pri Gíbei, ki pripada Benjaminu.
15 They turned aside there to spend the night in Gibeah. They went and sat down in the city square, but no one took them into his house for the night.
Obrnili so se tja, da vstopijo in prenočijo v Gíbei. Ko so vstopili, se je usedel na mestno ulico, kajti tam ni bilo nobenega človeka, ki bi jih vzel v svojo hišo, da prenočijo.
16 But then an old man was coming from his work in the field that evening. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying for a while in Gibeah. But the men living in that place were Benjamites.
Glej, zvečer je prišel starec od svojega dela zunaj na polju, ki je bil prav tako z gore Efrájim in je začasno prebival v Gíbei. Toda možje kraja so bili Benjaminovci.
17 He raised his eyes and saw the traveler in the city square. The old man said, “Where are you going? Where are you coming from?”
Ko je povzdignil svoje oči, je na mestni ulici zagledal popotnika in starec je rekel: »Kam greš? In od kod prihajaš?«
18 The Levite said to him, “We are on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to the most remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, which is where I come from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to the house of Yahweh, but there is no one who will take me into his house.
Ta mu je odgovoril: »Mi smo prešli iz Judovega Betlehema proti pobočju gore Efrájim. Od tam sem in odšel sem k Judovemu Betlehemu, toda sedaj grem h Gospodovi hiši. Tukaj pa ni nobenega moža, ki bi me sprejel v hišo.
19 We have straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine for me and your female servant here, and for this young man with your servants. We lack nothing.”
Vendar je tukaj tako slama in krma za naša osla in tukaj je kruh in vino zame in za mojo pomočnico in za mladeniča, ki je s tvojimi služabniki. Tukaj ni potrebe po nobeni stvari.«
20 The old man greeted them, “Peace be with you! I will take care of all your needs. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
Starec je rekel: »Mir bodi s teboj. Kakorkoli, pusti vse svoje potrebe počivati na meni, samo ne prenočuj na ulici.«
21 So the man brought the Levite into his house and gave feed to the donkeys. They washed their feet and ate and drank.
Tako ga je odvedel v svojo hišo in dal krmo k oslom. Umili so svoja stopala, jedli in pili.
22 While they were making their hearts glad, some men of the city, worthless men, surrounded the house, beating on the door. They spoke to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, so we can have sex with him.”
Torej ko so razveseljevali svoja srca, glej, so možje iz mesta, neki Beliálovi sinovi, naokoli obkrožili hišo in udarjali na vrata ter hišnemu gospodarju, starcu, spregovorili, rekoč: »Privedi moškega, ki je prišel v tvojo hišo, da ga lahko spoznamo.«
23 The man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, please do not do this evil thing! Since this man is a guest in my house, do not do this wicked thing!
Mož, hišni gospodar, je odšel ven k njim ter jim rekel: »Ne, moji bratje, ne, prosim vas, ne storite tako zlobno, glede na to, da je ta mož prišel v mojo hišo, ne storite te neumnosti.
24 See, my virgin daughter and his concubine are here. Let me bring them out now. Violate them and do with them whatever you like. But do not do such a wicked thing to this man!”
Glejte, tukaj je moja hči, devica in njegova priležnica. Njiju bom torej privedel ven in ju ponižajte ter z njima storite kar se vam zdi dobro, toda temu možu ne storite tako ogabne stvari.«
25 But the men would not listen to him, so the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them. They raped her and abused her all throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
Toda možje mu niso hoteli prisluhniti. Tako je mož vzel svojo priležnico in jo privedel k njim. Spoznali so jo in jo zlorabljali vso noč do jutra. Ko pa se je dan začel svitati, so jo pustili oditi.
26 At dawn the woman came and she fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, and she lay there until it was light.
Potem je ob jutranjem svitanju ženska prišla in padla dol pri vratih moževe hiše, kjer je bil njen gospodar, dokler ni bilo svetlo.
27 Her master rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way. He could see his concubine lying there at the door, with her hands on the threshold.
Njen gospodar je zjutraj vstal, odprl vrata hiše in odšel ven, da gre svojo pot. In glej, ženska, njegova priležnica, je bila zvrnjena dol pri hišnih vratih in njene roke so bile na pragu.
28 The Levite said to her, “Get up. Let us go.” But there was no answer. He put her on the donkey, and the man set out for home.
Rekel ji je: »Vstani in pojdimo.« Toda ni se odzvala. Potem jo je mož vzel gor na osla in mož se je dvignil ter se spravil k svojemu kraju.
29 When the Levite came to his house, he took a knife, and he took hold of his concubine, and cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent the pieces everywhere throughout Israel.
Ko je prišel v svojo hišo, je vzel nož in ga položil na svojo priležnico in jo razdelil na dvanajst kosov, skupaj z njenimi kostmi in jo poslal po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah.
30 All who saw this said, “Such a thing has never been done or seen from the day the people of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this present day. Think about it! Give us advice! Tell us what to do!”
In bilo je tako, da so vsi, ki so to videli, rekli: »Takšnega dejanja ni bilo storjenega niti videnega od dneva, ko so Izraelovi otroci prišli gor iz egiptovske dežele, do današnjega dne. Preudarite o tem, sprejmite nasvet in govorite svojim umom.«
