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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.'
7 Sa’ad da mutumin ya tashi zai tafi, sai surukinsa ya roƙe shi, saboda haka ya kwana a wannan dare.
And the man riseth to go, and his father-in-law presseth on him, and he turneth back and lodgeth 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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.'
13 Ya kuma ce, “Zo, mu yi ƙoƙari mu kai Gibeya ko Rama mu kwana a ɗaya cikinsu.”
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.'
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 goeth in upon them near Gibeah, which is 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 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.
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 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.
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 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?'
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 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,
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 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.'
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 saith, 'Peace to thee; only, all thy lack [is] on me, only in the broad place lodge not.'
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 bringeth him in to his house, and mixeth [food] for the asses, 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 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.'
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, 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;
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.”
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.'
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 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;
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 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.
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 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,
28 Ya ce mata, “Tashi; mu tafi.” Amma ba amsa. Sai ya sa ta a kan jakinsa ya kama hanyar gida.
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,
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 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.
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 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.'
