Judges 19
1 And it cometh to pass, in those days, when there is no king in Israel, that there is a man a Levite, a sojourner in the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he taketh to him a wife, a concubine, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah;
Yeroo sanatti Israaʼel mootii hin qabdu ture. Lewwichi lafa gammoojjii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessa jiraatu tokko Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessaa dubartii tokko saajjatoo godhatee fudhate.
2 and commit whoredom against him doth his concubine, and she goeth from him unto the house of her father, unto Beth-Lehem-Judah, and is there days — four months.
Isheen garuu isaaf amanamtuu hin taane. Isa dhiiftees gara mana abbaa ishee Beetlihem Yihuudaatti deebite. Erga jiʼa afur achi turtee booddee,
3 And her husband riseth and goeth after her, to speak unto her heart, to bring her back, and his young man [is] with him, and a couple of asses; and she bringeth him into the house of her father, and the father of the young woman seeth him, and rejoiceth to meet him.
dhirsi ishee araarfatee deebisee galfachuudhaaf gara ishee dhaqe. Innis hojjetaa isaatii fi harroota lama fudhatee deeme. Isheenis mana abbaa isheetti ol isa galchite; abbaan ishees yommuu isa argetti gammachuudhaan isa simate.
4 And keep hold on him doth his father-in-law, father of the young woman, and he abideth with him three days, and they eat and drink, and lodge there.
Abbaan niitii isaa jechuunis, abbaan intalattii akka inni achi turuuf jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu isaan nyaachaa, dhugaas bultii sadii isa bira bubbulan.
5 And it cometh to pass, on the fourth day, that they rise early in the morning, and he riseth to go, and the father of the young woman saith unto his son-in-law, 'Support thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye go on.'
Guyyaa afuraffaatti ganamaan kaʼanii deemuuf qophaaʼan; abbaan intalattii garuu dhirsa intala isaatiin, “Akka jabaatuuf waa nyaadhu; ergasii ni deemtaa” jedhe.
6 And they sit and eat both of them together, and drink, and the father of the young woman saith unto the man, 'Be willing, I pray thee, and lodge all night, and let thy heart be glad.'
Kanaafuu lachan isaanii wajjin nyaatanii dhuguuf tataaʼan. Ergasiis abbaan intalattii, “Maaloo harʼa asuma buliitii aara galfadhu” jedheen.
7 And the man riseth to go, and his father-in-law presseth on him, and he turneth back and lodgeth there.
Yommuu inni deemuuf kaʼettis abbaan niitii isaa jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni halkan sana achi bule.
8 And he riseth early in the morning, on the fifth day, to go, and the father of the young woman saith, 'Support, I pray thee, thy heart;' and they have tarried till the turning of the day, and they eat, both of them.
Guyyaa shanaffaatti yommuu inni ganamaan deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Aara galfadhu. Hamma waaree booddeettis asuma turi!” isaan jedhe. Kanaafuu lachan isaanii iyyuu wajjin nyaatan.
9 And the man riseth to go, he and his concubine, and his young man, and his father-in-law, father of the young woman, saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, the day hath fallen toward evening, lodge all night, I pray thee; lo, the declining of the day! lodge here, and let thine heart be glad — and ye have risen early to-morrow for your journey, and thou hast gone to thy tent.'
Yeroo namichi saajjatoo isaatii fi tajaajilaa isaa wajjin deemuuf kaʼetti abbaan intalattii, “Ilaali! Aduun dhiʼuutti jirti. Asuma bulaa; guyyaan galgalaaʼeera. Asuma bulaatii aara galfadhaa. Bori ganamaan kaatanii karaa keessan deemuu dandeessu” jedheen.
10 And the man hath not been willing to lodge all night, and he riseth, and goeth, and cometh in till over-against Jebus (It [is] Jerusalem), and with him [are] a couple of asses saddled; and his concubine [is] with him.
Namichi garuu gaafa sana achi buluu didee harroota isaa lamaan feʼatee saajjatoo isaa fudhatee qajeele. Gara fuullee Yerusaalem ishee Yebuus jedhamtu sanaa dhufe.
11 They [are] near Jebus, and the day hath gone greatly down, and the young man saith unto his lord, 'Come, I pray thee, and we turn aside unto this city of the Jebusite, and lodge in it.'
Yommuu isaan Yebuus bira gaʼanitti sababii aduun dhiiteef tajaajilaan sun gooftaa isaatiin, “Maaloo kottaa magaalaa Yebuusotaa kanatti gorree haa bullu” jedhe.
12 And his lord saith unto him, 'Let us not turn aside unto the city of a stranger, that is not of the sons of Israel, thither, but we have passed over unto Gibeah.'
Gooftaan isaas deebisee, “Lakkii. Nu magaalaa Namoota Ormaa warra Israaʼeloota hin taʼinii hin seennu. Gara Gibeʼaatti dabarra” isaan jedhe.
13 And he saith to his young man, 'Come, and we draw near to one of the places, and have lodged in Gibeah, or in Ramah.'
Itti fufees, “Kottu Gibeʼaa yookaan Raamaa geenyee tokkoo isaanii keessa bullaa” jedheen.
14 And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goeth in upon them near Gibeah, which is to Benjamin;
Kanaafuu deemsa isaanii itti fufanii yeroo isaan Gibeʼaa ishee Beniyaam keessatti argamtutti dhiʼaatanitti aduun dhiite.
15 and they turn aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and he goeth in and sitteth in a broad place of the city, and there is no man gathering them into the house to lodge.
Isaanis achi buluuf itti goran. Oobdii magaalaa keessas qubatan; garuu namni tokko iyyuu isaan bulchuuf mana isaatti ol isaan hin galchine.
16 And lo, a man, an aged one, hath come from his work from the field in the evening, and the man [is] of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he [is] a sojourner in Gibeah, and the men of the place [are] Benjamites.
Galgaluma sana jaarsi biyya gaaraa Efreemiitii dhufee Gibeʼaa jiraatu tokko hojii qonnaatii gale. Namoonni biyyattii garuu gosa Beniyaam turan.
17 And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the man, the traveller, in a broad place of the city, and the aged man saith, 'Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?'
Jaarsi sun yommuu ol jedhee oobdii magaalaa keessatti kara deemaa sana argetti, “Ati garam deemta? Eessaa dhufte?” jedhee gaafate.
18 And he saith unto him, 'We are passing over from Beth-Lehem-Judah unto the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim — thence I [am], and I go unto Beth-Lehem-Judah; and to the house of Jehovah I am going, and there is no man gathering me into the house,
Lewwichis akkana jedhe; “Nu Beetlihem Yihuudaatii dhufnee gara lafa moggaa biyya gaaraa Efreem iddoo ani jiraadhuu dhaquuf deemna. Ani achi dhaqee ture. Ani amma gara mana Waaqayyoo dhaqaan jira. Namni mana isaatti na simate tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
19 and both straw and provender are for our asses, and also bread and wine there are for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants; there is no lack of anything.'
Nu tajaajiltoonni kee harroota keenyaaf cidii fi okaa qabna; anaa fi tajaajiltuu keetiif, dargaggeessa nu wajjin jiruufis buddeenaa fi daadhii wayinii qabna. Nu waan tokko illee hin barbaannu.”
20 And the old man saith, 'Peace to thee; only, all thy lack [is] on me, only in the broad place lodge not.'
Jaarsichis, “Nagaan siif haa taʼu; ani waan isin barbaachisu hundumaa isiniif nan dhiʼeessa; isin garuu oobdii keessa hin bulinaa” jedheen.
21 And he bringeth him in to his house, and mixeth [food] for the asses, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
Kanaafuu inni gara mana isaatti ol isa galchee harroota isaatiif waan nyaatan kenne. Isaanis erga miilla isaanii dhiqatanii booddee nyaatanii dhugan.
22 They are making their heart glad, and lo, men of the city, men — sons of worthlessness — have gone round about the house, beating on the door, and they speak unto the old man, the master of the house, saying, 'Bring out the man who hath come unto thine house, and we know him.'
Utuu isaan gammadaa jiranuu kashlabboonni magaalaa sanaa tokko tokko mana jaarsichaa marsan. Balbalas dhadhaʼanii iyyuudhaan, “Akka nu isatti sagaagalluuf namicha mana kee seene sana gad nuu baasi” jedhaniin.
23 And the man, the master of the house, goeth out unto them, and saith unto them, 'Nay, my brethren, do not evil, I pray you, after that this man hath come in unto my house, do not this folly;
Abbaan manichaas gad baʼee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Lakkisaa yaa firoota ko, hammina akkasii hin hojjetinaa; namichi kun waan keessummaa koo taʼeef waan jibbisiisaa kana hin hojjetinaa.
24 lo, my daughter, the virgin, and his concubine, let me bring them out, I pray you, and humble ye them, and do to them that which is good in your eyes, and to this man do not this foolish thing.'
Kunoo intalli koo durbi qulqulluunii fi saajjatoon namichaa as jiru. Ani isaan gad isinii baasaatii waan feetan isaan godhaa. Namicha kanatti garuu waan jibbisiisaa akkasii hin hojjetinaa.”
25 And the men have not been willing to hearken to him, and the man taketh hold on his concubine, and bringeth [her] out unto them without, and they know her, and roll themselves upon her all the night, till the morning, and send her away in the ascending of the dawn;
Taʼus isaan isa hin dhageenye. Kanaafuu Lewwichi saajjatoo isaa gad isaanii baase; isaanis halkan guutuu isheetti taphatanii ganama barii gad ishee dhiisan.
26 and the woman cometh in at the turning of the morning, and falleth at the opening of the man's house, where her lord [is], till the light.
Akkuma lafti bariiteenis dubartiin sun gara mana gooftaan ishee ture sanaa dhaqxee balbala duratti kuftee hamma biiftuun baatutti achumatti diriirtee hafte.
27 And her lord riseth in the morning, and openeth the doors of the house, and goeth out to go on his way, and lo, the woman, his concubine, is fallen at the opening of the house, and her hands [are] on the threshold,
Yommuu gooftaan ishee ganama barii kaʼee deemuuf balbala banee gad baʼetti, kunoo saajjatoon isaa kuftee harka ishee gulantaa balbalaa irratti diriirsitee arge.
28 and he saith unto her, 'Rise, and we go;' and there is none answering, and he taketh her on the ass, and the man riseth and goeth to his place,
Innis, “Kaʼi ni deemnaa” isheen jedhe. Garuu deebiin tokko illee hin turre. Kana irratti namichi sun harree irra ishee kaaʼee gara mana isaatti qajeele.
29 and cometh in unto his house, and taketh the knife, and layeth hold on his concubine, and cutteth her in pieces to her bones — into twelve pieces, and sendeth her into all the border of Israel.
Innis yommuu mana isaa gaʼetti haaduu fudhatee saajjatoo isaa sana buusaa buusaatti iddoo kudha lamatti kukkutee guutummaa biyya Israaʼelitti erge.
30 And it hath come to pass, every one who seeth hath said, 'There hath not been — yea, there hath not been seen like this, from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt till this day; set your [heart] upon it, take counsel, and speak.'
Namni waan kana arge hundi, “Erga Israaʼeloonni Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee wanni akkasii takkumaa argamee yookaan hojjetamee hin beeku. Waaʼee isaa yaadaa! Hubadhaas! Waan gochuu qabnus nutti himaa!” jedhe.
