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 comes 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 takes a wife for himself, a concubine, out of Beth-Lehem-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 commits whoredom against him, and she goes from him to the house of her father, to Beth-Lehem-Judah, and is there four months of days.
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 rises and goes after her, to speak to her heart, to bring her back, and his young man [is] with him, and a couple of donkeys; and she brings him into the house of her father, and the father of the young woman sees him, and rejoices 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 keeps hold on him, father of the young woman, and he abides with him three days, and they eat and drink, and lodge 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 comes to pass, on the fourth day, that they rise early in the morning, and he rises to go, and the father of the young woman says to his son-in-law, “Support your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you go on.”
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 both of them sit, and eat and drink together, and the father of the young woman says to the man, “Please be willing and lodge all night, and let your 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 rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges there.
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 rises early in the morning, on the fifth day, to go, and the father of the young woman says, “Please support your heart”; and they have tarried until the turning of the day, and both of them eat.
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 rises to go, he, and his concubine, and his young man, but his father-in-law, father of the young woman, says to him, “Now behold, the day has fallen toward evening, please lodge all night; behold, the declining of the day! Lodge here and let your heart be glad—and you have risen early tomorrow for your journey, and you have gone to your 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.
And the man has not been willing to lodge all night, and he rises, and goes, and comes in until [he is] opposite Jebus (it [is] Jerusalem), and a couple of saddled donkeys [are] with him; and his concubine [is] 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 [are] near Jebus, and the day has greatly gone down, and the young man says to his lord, “Please come, and we turn aside to this city of the Jebusite 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.”
And his lord says to him, “Let us not turn aside to the city of a stranger, that is not of the sons of Israel there, but we have passed over to Gibeah.”
13 Ya kuma ce, “Zo, mu yi ƙoƙari mu kai Gibeya ko Rama mu kwana a ɗaya cikinsu.”
And he says to his young man, “Come, and we draw near to one of the places, and have lodged 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 pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of 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 turn aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and he goes in and sits in a broad place of the city, and there is no man gathering them into the house to lodge.
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, an old man has 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.
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 lifts up his eyes, and sees the man, the traveler, in a broad place of the city, and the old man says, “To where do you go? And where do you come from?”
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 says to him, “We are passing over from Beth-Lehem-Judah to the sides of the hill-country of Ephraim—I [am] from there, and I go to Beth-Lehem-Judah; and I am going to the house of YHWH, and there is no man gathering me into the 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 there is both straw and provender for our donkeys, and there is also bread and wine for me, and for your handmaid, and for the young man with your 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.”
And the old man says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
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 brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
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 are making their heart glad, and behold, men of the city, men—sons of worthlessness—have gone around the house, beating on the door, and they speak to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who has come into your house, and we 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, goes out to them and says to them, “No, my brothers, please do not do evil after that this man has come into my house; do not do this folly;
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, the virgin, and his concubine, please let me bring them out and you humble them, and do that which is good in your eyes to them, and do not do this foolish thing to this man.”
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.
And the men have not been willing to listen to him, and the man takes hold on his concubine and brings [her] out to them outside, and they know her and roll themselves on her all the night until the morning, and they send her away in the ascending of the dawn;
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 comes in at the turning of the morning, and falls at the opening of the man’s house where her lord [is], until the 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 rises in the morning, and opens the doors of the house, and goes out to go on his way, and behold, the woman, his concubine, is fallen at the opening of the house, and her hands [are] on 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 says to her, “Rise, and we go”; but there is no answering, and he takes her on the donkey, and the man rises and goes 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 comes into his house, and takes the knife, and lays hold on his concubine, and cuts her in pieces to her bones—into twelve pieces, and sends her into all the border 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 has come to pass, everyone who sees has said, “There has not been—indeed, there has not been seen [anything] like this, from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt until this day; set your [heart] on it, take counsel, and speak.”
