< 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.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha tsy nisy mpanjaka teo amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nisy Levita anankiray nivahiny tary an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, ka naka vaditsindrano avy any Betlehema-joda.
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.
Ary ny vaditsindranony nijangajanga sy nisintaka taminy ka nandao azy ary nankany an-tranon-drainy any Betlehema-joda, dia nitoetra tao efa-bolana mipaka.
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.
Ary niainga ralehilahy ka nandeha nanaraka azy hanao teny malefaka taminy hampody azy ary nitondra ny zatovony sy boriky roa; dia nampiantranoin-dravehivavy ho ao an-tranon-drainy izy, ka nony hitan’ ny rain-drazazavavy ralehilahy, dia faly izy nihaona taminy.
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.
Ary nihazona azy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, ka nitoetra teo aminy hateloana izy, dia nihinana sy nisotro ary nandry tao izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahefatra, dia nifoha maraina koa izy ka niomana handeha; fa hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin’ ny vinantony: Aoka aloha mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha ianareo.
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.
Dia nipetraka izy roa lahy ka niara-nihinana sy nisotro; dia hoy ny rain-drazazavavy tamin-dralehilahy: Mba maneke ny handry eto anio alina, ary aoka ho faly ny fonao.
7 And when the man rose to depart, his father-in-law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
Ary raha niomana handeha ralehilahy, dia nanery azy hitoetra ny rafozany, ka dia tafandriana tao indray izy.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina koa izy handeha nony tamin’ ny andro fahadimy; fa hoy ny rain-drazavazavy: Aoka mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely ianao, ary mijanonjanona aloha mandra-pihilan’ ny andro; ary dia niara-nihinana izy roa lahy.
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.
Ary raha niainga handeha ralehilahy sy ny vaditsindranony ary ny ankizilahiny, dia hoy ny rafozany, rain-drazazavavy, taminy Indro, efa ho hariva ny andro izao, koa masìna ianao, mandria re anio alina; indro, efa hilentika ny masoandro, ka mandria eto, mba hifalian’ ny fonao; ary rahampitso dia hifoha maraina koa ianareo, ka handeha hody ianao.
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.
Fa tsy nety nijanona intsony ralehilahy tamin’ izany alina izany, fa niainga ihany izy ka nandeha, dia tonga tandrifin’ i Jebosa (Jerosalema izany); ary boriky roa samy voaisy lasely no nentiny, ary ny vaditsindranony niaraka taminy koa.
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.
Ary rehefa mby teo akaiky an’ i Jebosa izy, ka efa ho hariva ny andro, dia hoy ny zatovo tamin’ ny tompony: Andeha hiakatra ato amin’ ity tanànan’ ny Jebosita ity isika ka handry ato.
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.
Fa hoy ny tompony taminy: Tsy hiakatra amin’ ny tanànan’ ny olona hafa firenena izay tsy isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely isika, fa handroso ihany ho any 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.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Andeha isika hankamin’ ny anankiray amin’ ireto tanàna ireto, dia any Gibea, na any Rama, ka handry any.
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.
Dia nandroso izy ka nandeha; ary raha mbola teo akaiky an’ i Gibea, izay an’ ny Benjamita, izy, dia nilentika ny masoandro.
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.
Ka dia nivily teo izy handeha handry any Gibea; ary niakatra izy ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tanàna; fa tsy nisy olona nampiantrano azy handry tao an-tranony.
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.
Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anti-panahy avy niasa tany an-tsaha nony hariva, sady olona avy any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima koa izy, saingy nitoetra tany Gibea, fa ny mponina tao amin’ izany tanana izany dia Benjamita.
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?
Ary rehefa nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita ilay vahiny teo an-kianjan’ ny tanana, dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Hankaiza moa ianao? Ary avy taiza?
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.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Avy tany Betlehema-joda izahay ka hankarỳ an-tsisin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, fa any no tany nihaviako; ary nankany Betlehema-joda aho, fa mpankany an-tranon’ i Jehovah; ary tsy misy olona mampiantrano ahy;
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:
kanefa misy mololo sy hanina ihany ho an’ ny borikinay, sady misy mofo sy divay ho ahy sy ny ankizivavinao ary ho an’ ny zatovo manaraka ny mpanomponao: tsy misy zavatra ilainay intsony.
20 And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; however, [let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.
Dia hoy ilay lehilahy anti-panahy: Fiadanana anie ho anao; aoka ho adidiko izay rehetra ilainao, fa aza mandry foana eto an-kianja.
21 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender to the asses: and they washed their feet and ate and drank.
Dia nitondra azy tany an-tranony izy ka nampihinana ny boriky; dia nanasa tongotra izy ireo ka nihinana sy nisotro.
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.
Ary raha mbola nampifaly ny fony izy, indro, ny mponina tao an-tanàna, olona tena ratsy fanahy, dia nanodidina ny trano ka nandondona mafy ny varavarana ary niteny tamin’ ilay lehilahy anti-panahy tompo-trano hoe: Avoahy ny lehilahy izay niditra ato an-tranonao, mba hahalalanay azy.
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.
Dia nivoaka nankeo aminy ralehilahy tompo-trano ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsia, ry rahalahiko, masìna ianareo, aza manao ratsy; fa tonga ato an-tranoko ity lehilahy ity, koa aza manao izany zavatra fady indrindra izany ianareo.
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.
Indreto ny zanako-vavy virijina sy ny vaditsindranon-dralehilahy, aoka mba ho entiko mivoaka ireo, ka mandria aminy, ary ataovy aminy izay sitrakareo; fa aza ity lehilahy ity no anaovanareo izany zavatra fady indrindra izany.
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.
Fa tsy nety nihaino azy ireo lehilahy ireo, ka dia nalain-dralehilahy ilay vaditsindrano ka navoakany taminy teo ala-trano; dia nahalala azy ireo ka nanao ditra taminy mandritra ny alina mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro; ary rehefa hiposaka ny masoandro, vao nalefany handeha izy.
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.
Ary rehefa ho maraina ny andro, dia tonga ravehivavy, ka lavo teo am-baravaran’ ny tranon-dralehilahy, izay nitoeran’ ny vadiny, ka nivalandotra teo mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina ralehilahy ka namoha ny varavaran’ ny trano, dia nivoaka handeha tamin’ ny lalan-kalehany; ary, indro, ravehivavy vaditsindranony miampatra eo am-baravaran’ ny trano, ary ny tanany eo amin’ ny tokonana.
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.
Ary hoy ralehilahy taminy: Mitsangàna, andeha isika. Kanjo tsy nisy namaly. Dia nobetain-dralehilahy izy ka nasampiny teo amin’ ny borikiny; dia niainga izy nandeha ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga tao an-tranony izy, dia naka antsy, ka noraisiny ny fatin’ ny vaditsindranony, dia norasainy araka ny famavanin’ ny taolana ho roa ambin’ ny folo toko, ka nampitondrainy eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra.
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].
Ary hoy ity rehetra nahita: Tsy nisy zavatra natao na hita toy izany hatramin’ ny andro niakaran’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka mandraka androany; hevero izany, samia maka saina, ka ambarao.
