< Judges 19 >

1 And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite dwelling on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-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 played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole 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 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, [and] to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: 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 damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they ate and drank, 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, that he arose to depart: and the damsel's father said to his son-in-law, Comfort thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward depart.
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 And they sat down, and ate and drank both of them together: for the damsel's father had said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry.
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 to depart, his father-in-law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
Mobali atelemaki mpo na kokende; kasi lokola tata-bokilo na ye abondelaki ye makasi ete avanda, avandaki kuna na butu yango.
8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thy heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they ate 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 arose to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him, Behold now the day draweth towards evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day is coming to an end, lodge here, that thy heart may be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go 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 that night, but he arose and departed, and came over against Jebus, which [is] Jerusalem; and [there were] with him two 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 [And] when they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in to this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
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 master said to him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that [is] not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to 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 servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all 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 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which [belongeth] to Benjamin.
Boye bakobaki kotambola, mpe moyi ebungaki tango bakomaki pene ya Gibea, kati na mokili ya Benjame.
15 And they turned aside thither, to go in [and] to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat down in a street of the city: for [there was] no man that took them into his house to lodge.
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 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening, who [was] also of mount Ephraim; and he dwelt in Gibeah: but the men of the place [were] Benjaminites.
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 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a way-faring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
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 to him, We [are] passing from Beth-lehem-Judah towards the side of mount Ephraim; from thence [am] I: and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I [am now] going to the house of the LORD; and there [is] no man that receiveth me into [his] 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 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man [which is] with thy servants: [there is] no want of any thing:
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, Peace [be] with thee; however, [let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.
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 washed their feet and ate and drank.
Akotisaki bango na ndako na ye mpe apesaki ba-ane na ye matiti. Sima, basukolaki makolo, baliaki mpe bamelaki.
22 [Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house on all sides, [and] beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came 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 master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, Nay, my brethren, [nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly.
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 Behold, [here] is my daughter, a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good to you: but to this man do not so vile a 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 to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
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 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord [was], 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 And her lord rose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down [at] the door of the house, and her hands [were] upon the threshhold.
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 to her, Rise, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her upon an ass, and the man rose, and went to his 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, with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders 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 it was so, that all that saw it, said, There hath been no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came from the land of Egypt to this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak [your minds].
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. »
