Mahukunta 19
1 A kwanakin nan Isra’ila ba su da sarki. To, wani Balawe wanda yake zama a wani lungu na ƙasar tudu ta Efraim ya ɗauko wa kansa ƙwarƙwara daga Betlehem cikin Yahuda.
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that a certain Levite, sojourning on the further side of mount Ephraim, took him a concubine out of Bethlehem-Judah.
2 Amma ba tă yi aminci ba. Ta bar shi ta komo gidan mahaifiyarta a Betlehem, a Yahuda. Bayan ta zauna a can wajen wata huɗu,
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Bethlehem-Judah, and was there some time, — four months.
3 sai mijinta ya je wajenta biko don yă rarashe ta komo. Ya tafi tare bawansa da kuma jakuna biyu. Sai ta shigar da shi gidan mahaifinta, sa’ad da mahaifinta ya gan shi, ya marabce shi da murna.
And her husband rose up and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again; and his servant was 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.
4 Surukinsa, mahaifin yarinyar, ya sha kansa, yă dakata; saboda haka ya dakata tare da shi har kwana uku, yana ci yana sha, yana kuma kwanciya a can.
And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him, and he abode with him three days; and they ate and drank, and lodged there.
5 A rana ta huɗu suka tashi da sassafe ya kuma yi shiri yă tafi, amma mahaifinta yarinyar ya ce wa surukinsa, “Ka ɗan ci wani abu don ka sami ƙarfi; sa’an nan ka tafi.”
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; and the damsel's father said to his son-in-law, Refresh thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterwards ye may go your way.
6 Saboda haka suka zauna su biyu suka ci suka sha tare. Bayan haka sai mahaifin yarinyar ya ce, “Don Allah ka kwana ka ji wa kanka daɗi.”
And they sat down, and ate and drank, both of them together. And the damsel's father said to the man, Be content, I pray thee, and pass the night, and let thy heart be glad.
7 Sa’ad da mutumin ya tashi zai tafi, sai surukinsa ya roƙe shi, saboda haka ya kwana a wannan dare.
And the man rose up to depart, but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
8 Da sassafen kashegari rana ta biyar, ya tashi zai tafi, sai mahaifin yarinyar ya ce, “Ka ɗan zauna ka shaƙata sai rana ta yi sanyi mana!” Saboda haka su biyu suka zauna suka ci abinci tare.
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; but the damsel's father said, Refresh thy heart, I pray thee. And they lingered until the afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
9 Sa’ad da mutumin da ƙwarƙwaransa da bawansa, suka tashi don su tafi, surukinsa, mahaifin yarinyar ya ce, “Duba, rana ta kusan fāɗuwa, yamma ta riga ta yi, ka kwana a nan. Ka sāke kwana ka ji wa ranka daɗi. Kashegari da sassafe za ka iya tashi ka kama hanyarka zuwa gida.”
And the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant; and his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him, Behold now, the day draws toward evening — I pray you stay all night; behold, the day is declining, lodge here, and let thy heart be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go to thy tent.
10 Amma bai so ya sāke kwana a can ba, mutumin ya tashi ya tafi ya bi ta Yebus (wato, Urushalima), tare da jakunansa biyu da aka yi musu shimfiɗa da kuma ƙwarƙwaransa.
But the man would not tarry the night; and he rose up and departed, and came opposite to Jebus, that is, Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, and his concubine was with him.
11 Sa’ad da suka yi kusa da Yebus dare kuma ya riga ya yi, bawan ya ce wa maigidansa, “Mu dakata a birnin nan na Yebusiyawa mu kwana.”
They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
12 Maigidansa ya ce, “A’a. Ba za mu shiga birnin baƙi waɗanda mutanensu ba Isra’ilawa ba. Za mu ci gaba zuwa Gibeya.”
But his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, which is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass on to Gibeah.
13 Ya kuma ce, “Zo, mu yi ƙoƙari mu kai Gibeya ko Rama mu kwana a ɗaya cikinsu.”
And he said to his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places, and lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
14 Saboda haka suka ci gaba, rana tana fāɗuwa sa’ad da suka yi kusa da Gibeya a Benyamin.
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 A can suka dakata don su kwana, suka tafi suka zauna a dandali birnin, amma wani ya shigar da su gidansa da daren.
And they turned aside thither, to go in, to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in, and sat down in the open place of the city; and there was no one that received him into his house to pass the night.
16 A wannan yamma sai ga wani tsoho daga ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, wanda yake zama a Gibeya (mutane wurin kuwa mutanen Benyamin ne), ya shigo daga wurin aiki a gonaki.
And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even; and the man was of mount Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjaminites.
17 Sa’ad da ya duba ya ga matafiyin a dandalin birnin, sai tsohon ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ina za ku? Ina kuka fito?”
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the open place of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
18 Balawen ya ce, “Muna fito daga Betlehem a Yahuda za mu wani lungu a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim inda nake da zama. Na tafi Betlehem a Yahuda, ga shi kuwa yanzu za ni gidan Ubangiji. Ba wanda ya shigar da ni gidansa.
And he said to him, We are travelling from Bethlehem-Judah towards the further side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I; and I went to Bethlehem-Judah, and I have to do with the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that receives me into his house.
19 Muna da ƙara da abinci don jakunanmu, muna kuma da burodi da ruwan inabi dominmu da bayinka, ni, baiwarka da kuma saurayin nan tare da mu. Ba ma bukatar kome.”
And we have both straw and provender for our asses; and I have bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man with thy servants: there is no lack of anything.
20 Tsohon ya ce, “Na marabce ku a gidana. Bari ni ba ku duk abin da kuke bukata. Kada ku dai kwana a dandali.”
Then the old man said, Peace be with thee; only let all thy wants lie on me; but lodge not in the street.
21 Saboda haka sai kai shi zuwa gidansa ya ciyar da jakunansa. Bayan sun wanke ƙafafunsu, sai aka ba su abinci da abin sha.
And he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 Yayinda suke jin wa kansu daɗi, sai waɗansu’yan iska daga birnin suka kewaye gidan. Suna bubbuga ƙofar, suna kira tsohon da yake da gidan suna cewa, “Ka fito mana da mutumin nan a gidanka domin mu yi jima’i da shi.”
They were making their hearts merry, when behold, the men of the city, sons of Belial, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they 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.
23 Maigidan ya fita waje ya ce musu, “A’a, abokaina, kada ku yi abin kunyan nan. Da yake mutumin nan baƙona ne, kada ku yi rashin kunyan nan.
And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brethren, I pray you, do not wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this villany.
24 Duba, ga’yata da ba tă taɓa sanin namiji ba da kuma ƙwarƙwaransa. Zan fito muku da su a waje yanzu, za ku kuwa iya yin ko mene ne da kuke so da su. Amma wannan mutum, kada ku yi abin kunya.”
Behold, my daughter, who is a virgin, and his concubine; let me bring them out, and humble ye them, and do to them as is good in your sight; but to this man do not so vile a thing.
25 Amma mutanen ba su saurare shi ba. Saboda haka mutumin ya ba da ƙwarƙwaransa, suka yi mata fyaɗe suka yi lalata da ita dukan dare, gari yana wayewa sai suka bar ta.
But the men would not hearken to him; and 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 let her go when the morning-dawn arose.
26 Da safe matar ta koma gidan da maigidanta yake, ta fāɗi a ƙofa ta kwanta a can har rana ta yi.
And the woman came at the dawning of the day, and fell down at the entrance of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
27 Sa’ad da maigidanta ya tashi da safe ya buɗe ƙofar gidan don yă fita ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa, sai ga ƙwarƙwararsa, ta fāɗi a bakin ƙofar gidan da hannuwanta a madogarar ƙofar.
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the door of the house, and went out to go his way, and behold, there lay the woman his concubine at the entrance of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
28 Ya ce mata, “Tashi; mu tafi.” Amma ba amsa. Sai ya sa ta a kan jakinsa ya kama hanyar gida.
And he said to her, Up, and let us go; but no one answered. And he took her upon the ass; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
29 Da ya kai gida, sai ya ɗauki wuƙa ya yayyanka ƙwarƙwaransa gunduwa-gunduwa, kashi goma sha biyu ya aika da su a ko’ina a Isra’ila.
And when he was come into his house, he took the knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, according to her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders of Israel.
30 Duk wanda ya gani, sai ya ce, “Ba a taɓa gani ko yin irin wannan abu ba, tun lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka fito daga Masar. Ku yi tunani wannan! Ku kuma yi la’akari! Ku gaya mana abin da za mu yi!”
And it came to pass that every one that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day. Think it over, advise, and speak.
