Hakim-hakim 19
1 Pada waktu Israel belum mempunyai raja, ada seorang Lewi tinggal di pedalaman, di daerah pegunungan Efraim. Ia mengambil seorang wanita dari Betlehem Yehuda menjadi selirnya.
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 Tetapi kemudian wanita itu marah kepadanya, sehingga ia kembali ke rumah ayahnya di Betlehem. Setelah wanita itu tinggal di sana empat bulan lamanya,
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 orang Lewi itu pergi menyusul dia untuk membujuknya kembali kepadanya. Ia pergi dengan membawa seorang hamba dan dua ekor keledai. Setelah tiba di sana, wanita itu membawa dia kepada ayahnya. Ketika ayah wanita itu melihat dia, ia menyambutnya dengan gembira,
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 dan mendesak supaya ia jangan pulang. Karena itu, ia tinggal selama tiga hari dan makan minum serta bermalam di situ bersama selirnya itu.
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 Pada hari keempat, mereka bangun pagi-pagi sekali lalu bersiap-siap untuk berangkat. Tetapi ayah wanita itu berkata kepada orang Lewi itu, "Makan dulu supaya kuat. Kalian bisa berangkat kemudian."
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 Maka duduklah orang Lewi itu lalu makan dan minum bersama-sama dengan ayah wanita itu. Tetapi ketika ia berdiri hendak berangkat, ayah wanita itu membujuknya supaya jangan pergi. "Bersenang-senanglah dulu," katanya, "dan bermalamlah di sini." Maka tinggallah orang Lewi itu di situ semalam lagi.
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.”
And the man rises to go, and his father-in-law presses on him, and he turns back and lodges there.
8 Pada hari kelima, pagi-pagi sekali, ketika ia hendak berangkat, ayah wanita itu berkata lagi, "Ayo, makanlah dulu; sebentar baru berangkat." Maka mereka berdua makan bersama dan berlambat-lambat sampai matahari mulai terbenam.
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 Kemudian, ketika orang Lewi itu bersama selirnya dan hambanya hendak berangkat, ayah itu berkata, "Hari sudah hampir malam, sebentar lagi gelap. Lebih baik menginap saja di sini dan bersenang-senang. Besok kalian boleh bangun pagi-pagi untuk berangkat dan pulang."
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 Tetapi orang Lewi itu tidak mau bermalam lagi di situ. Ia dan selirnya berangkat, bersama-sama dengan hambanya dan kedua keledainya yang berpelana. Ketika hari hampir malam, mereka sampai di dekat Yebus (yaitu Yerusalem). Lalu hamba itu berkata kepada tuannya, "Tuan, marilah kita singgah dan bermalam di kota orang Yebus ini saja."
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.
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 Tetapi tuannya menjawab, "Tidak! Kita tidak akan berhenti di tempat yang penduduknya bukan orang Israel. Mari kita meneruskan perjalanan sedikit lagi dan nanti bermalam di Gibea atau Rama."
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.”
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 Karena itu mereka berjalan terus dan tidak berhenti di Yebus. Matahari telah terbenam ketika mereka sampai di Gibea di wilayah suku Benyamin.
And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goes in on them near Gibeah, which is of Benjamin;
15 Mereka singgah di sana untuk bermalam, lalu masuk ke kota dan pergi duduk di alun-alun. Tetapi tak ada seorang pun yang mengundang mereka ke rumahnya untuk bermalam.
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 Sementara mereka duduk di alun-alun kota, datanglah seorang tua yang baru kembali dari pekerjaannya di ladang. Ia sebenarnya berasal dari daerah pegunungan Efraim tetapi sekarang tinggal di Gibea. (Penduduk lainnya di Gibea adalah orang Benyamin.)
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 Ketika orang tua itu melihat orang Lewi itu di alun-alun, ia bertanya, "Saudara dari mana, dan mau ke mana?"
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 Orang Lewi itu menjawab, "Kami baru datang dari Betlehem di Yehuda, dan sedang dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah di pedalaman di pegunungan Efraim. Saya berasal dari sana. Tidak ada seorang pun dari penduduk kota ini mau menerima kami di rumahnya untuk bermalam.
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 Kami tidak memerlukan apa-apa yang lain, bekal kami cukup. Ada jerami dan makanan untuk keledai kami; ada roti dan anggur untuk saya bersama istri saya ini dan hamba saya."
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 Lalu kata orang tua itu, "Jangan khawatir, nanti saya tolong. Tidak usah bermalam di alun-alun ini."
And the old man says, “Peace to you; only, all your lack [is] on me, but do not lodge in the broad place.”
21 Kemudian ia membawa mereka ke rumahnya lalu memberi makanan kepada keledai-keledai mereka. Dan setelah tamu-tamunya itu mencuci kaki, mereka makan.
And he brings him into his house, and mixes [food] for the donkeys, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink.
22 Sementara mereka bersenang-senang, tiba-tiba rumah itu dikepung orang-orang bejat dari kota itu. Mereka menggedor-gedor pintu dan berkata kepada orang tua itu, "Serahkan kepada kami orang laki-laki yang kaubawa ke rumahmu. Kami mau pakai dia!"
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 Orang tua itu keluar dan berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan, saudara-saudara! Saya mohon, janganlah melakukan hal yang jahat dan tak patut seperti itu, sebab dia tamu saya.
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 Nanti saya berikan saja selirnya dan anak gadis saya kepada kalian. Bolehlah kalian memuaskan diri dengan mereka. Tapi, janganlah melakukan apa-apa yang jahat terhadap tamu saya itu!"
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 Tetapi karena orang-orang bejat itu tetap berkeras, maka orang Lewi itu mendorong selirnya itu keluar untuk mereka. Lalu mereka memperkosa wanita itu tanpa henti-hentinya sampai pagi.
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 Pada waktu subuh wanita itu kembali, tetapi di depan pintu rumah orang tua itu, tempat suaminya menginap, ia pingsan. Setelah matahari terbit ia masih berada di situ.
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 Pagi itu, ketika suaminya bangun dan membuka pintu untuk berangkat, ia mendapati selirnya tergeletak di depan rumah itu dengan tangannya berpegang pada pintu.
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 "Bangunlah," katanya kepadanya, "mari kita berangkat." Tetapi wanita itu tidak menjawab karena sudah mati. Lalu, ia mengangkat wanita itu dan menaruhnya di atas keledai, kemudian berangkat untuk pulang ke rumahnya.
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 Sampai di rumah, ia masuk dan mengambil pisau kemudian memotong-motong mayat selirnya itu menjadi dua belas potong. Setelah itu, ia mengirim potongan-potongan itu kepada kedua belas suku bangsa Israel, masing-masing satu potong.
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 Semua orang yang melihat itu berkata, "Belum pernah hal semacam ini terjadi, sejak umat Israel keluar dari Mesir sampai hari ini. Kita tidak boleh tinggal diam. Kita harus berunding untuk bertindak!"
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.”
