Hakim-hakim 19
1 Terjadilah pada zaman itu, ketika tidak ada raja di Israel, bahwa di balik pegunungan Efraim ada seorang Lewi tinggal sebagai pendatang. Ia mengambil seorang gundik dari Betlehem-Yehuda.
There was a certain Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:
2 Tetapi gundiknya itu berlaku serong terhadap dia dan pergi dari padanya ke rumah ayahnya di Betlehem-Yehuda, lalu tinggal di sana empat bulan lamanya.
And she left him and returned to her father’s house in Bethlehem, and abode with him four months.
3 Berkemaslah suaminya itu, lalu pergi menyusul perempuan itu untuk membujuk dia dan membawanya kembali; bersama-sama dia bujangnya dan sepasang keledai. Ketika perempuan muda itu membawa dia masuk ke rumah ayahnya, dan ketika ayah itu melihat dia, maka bersukacitalah ia mendapatkannya.
And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father’s house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy,
4 Mertuanya, ayah perempuan muda itu, tidak membiarkan dia pergi, sehingga ia tinggal tiga hari lamanya pada ayah itu; mereka makan, minum dan bermalam di sana.
And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly.
5 Tetapi pada hari yang keempat, ketika mereka bangun pagi-pagi dan ketika orang Lewi itu berkemas untuk pergi, berkatalah ayah perempuan muda itu kepada menantunya: "Segarkanlah dirimu dahulu dengan sekerat roti, kemudian bolehlah kamu pergi."
But on the fourth day arising early in the morning he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart.
6 Jadi duduklah mereka, lalu makan dan minumlah keduanya bersama-sama. Kata ayah perempuan muda itu kepada laki-laki itu: "Baiklah putuskan untuk tinggal bermalam dan biarlah hatimu gembira."
And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here today, and let us make merry together.
7 Tetapi ketika orang itu bangun untuk pergi juga, mertuanya itu mendesaknya, sehingga ia tinggal pula di sana bermalam.
But he rising up began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him.
8 Pada hari yang kelima, ketika ia bangun pagi-pagi untuk pergi, berkatalah ayah perempuan muda itu: "Mari, segarkanlah dirimu dahulu, dan tinggallah sebentar lagi, sampai matahari surut." Lalu makanlah mereka keduanya.
But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together.
9 Ketika orang itu bangun untuk pergi, bersama dengan gundiknya dan bujangnya, berkatalah mertuanya, ayah perempuan muda itu, kepadanya: "Lihatlah, matahari telah mulai turun menjelang petang; baiklah tinggal bermalam, lihat, matahari hampir terbenam, tinggallah di sini bermalam dan biarlah hatimu gembira; maka besok kamu dapat bangun pagi-pagi untuk berjalan dan pulang ke rumahmu."
And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me today also, and spend the day in mirth, and tomorrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house.
10 Tetapi orang itu tidak mau tinggal bermalam; ia berkemas, lalu pergi. Demikian sampailah ia di daerah yang berhadapan dengan Yebus--itulah Yerusalem--; bersama-sama dengan dia ada sepasang keledai yang berpelana dan gundiknya juga.
His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine.
11 Ketika mereka dekat ke Yebus dan ketika matahari telah sangat rendah, berkatalah bujang itu kepada tuannya: "Marilah kita singgah di kota orang Yebus ini dan bermalam di situ."
And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.
12 Tetapi tuannya menjawabnya: "Kita tidak akan singgah di kota asing yang bukan kepunyaan orang Israel, tetapi kita akan berjalan terus sampai ke Gibea."
His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa:
13 Lagi katanya kepada bujangnya: "Marilah kita berjalan sampai ke salah satu tempat yang di sana dan bermalam di Gibea atau di Rama."
And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.
14 Lalu berjalanlah mereka melanjutkan perjalanannya, dan matahari terbenam, ketika mereka dekat Gibea kepunyaan suku Benyamin.
So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in the tribe of Benjamin:
15 Sebab itu singgahlah mereka di Gibea, lalu masuk untuk bermalam di situ, dan setelah sampai, duduklah mereka di tanah lapang kota. Tetapi tidak ada seorangpun yang mengajak mereka ke rumah untuk bermalam.
And they turned into it, to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge.
16 Tetapi datanglah pada malam itu seorang tua, yang pulang dari pekerjaannya di ladang. Orang itu berasal dari pegunungan Efraim dan tinggal di Gibea sebagai pendatang, tetapi penduduk tempat itu adalah orang Benyamin.
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini.
17 Ketika ia mengangkat mukanya dan melihat orang yang dalam perjalanan itu di tanah lapang kota, berkatalah orang tua itu: "Ke manakah engkau pergi dan dari manakah engkau datang?"
And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou?
18 Jawabnya kepadanya: "Kami sedang dalam perjalanan dari Betlehem-Yehuda ke balik pegunungan Efraim. Dari sanalah aku berasal; aku tadinya pergi ke Betlehem-Yehuda dan sekarang sedang berjalan pulang ke rumah. Tetapi tidak ada orang yang mengajak aku ke rumahnya,
He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof:
19 walaupun ada padaku jerami dan makanan untuk keledai kami, pula roti dan anggur untuk aku sendiri, untuk hambamu perempuan ini dan untuk bujang yang bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini; kami tidak kekurangan sesuatu."
We have straw and hay for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but lodging.
20 Lalu berkatalah orang tua itu: "Jangan kuatir! Segala yang engkau perlukan biarlah aku yang menanggung, tetapi janganlah engkau bermalam di tanah lapang kota ini."
And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street.
21 Sesudah itu dibawanyalah dia masuk ke rumahnya, lalu keledai-keledai diberinya makan; maka merekapun membasuh kaki, makan dan minum.
And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast.
22 Tetapi sementara mereka menggembirakan hatinya, datanglah orang-orang kota itu, orang-orang dursila, mengepung rumah itu. Mereka menggedor-gedor pintu sambil berkata kepada orang tua, pemilik rumah itu: "Bawalah ke luar orang yang datang ke rumahmu itu, supaya kami pakai dia."
While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial, (that is, without yoke, ) came and beset the old man’s house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may abuse him.
23 Lalu keluarlah pemilik rumah itu menemui mereka dan berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak, saudara-saudaraku, janganlah kiranya berbuat jahat; karena orang ini telah masuk ke rumahku, janganlah kamu berbuat noda.
And the old man went out to them, and said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly.
24 Tetapi ada anakku perempuan, yang masih perawan, dan juga gundik orang itu, baiklah kubawa keduanya ke luar; perkosalah mereka dan perbuatlah dengan mereka apa yang kamu pandang baik, tetapi terhadap orang ini janganlah kamu berbuat noda."
I have a maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not this crime against nature on the man.
25 Tetapi orang-orang itu tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya. Lalu orang Lewi itu menangkap gundiknya dan membawanya kepada mereka ke luar, kemudian mereka bersetubuh dengan perempuan itu dan semalam-malaman itu mereka mempermainkannya, sampai pagi. Barulah pada waktu fajar menyingsing mereka melepaskan perempuan itu.
They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning.
26 Menjelang pagi perempuan itu datang kembali, tetapi ia jatuh rebah di depan pintu rumah orang itu, tempat tuannya bermalam, dan ia tergeletak di sana sampai fajar.
But the woman, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there fell down.
27 Pada waktu tuannya bangun pagi-pagi, dibukanya pintu rumah dan pergi ke luar untuk melanjutkan perjalanannya, tetapi tampaklah perempuan itu, gundiknya, tergeletak di depan pintu rumah dengan tangannya pada ambang pintu.
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold.
28 Berkatalah ia kepada perempuan itu: "Bangunlah, marilah kita pergi." Tetapi tidak ada jawabnya. Lalu diangkatnyalah mayat itu ke atas keledai, berkemaslah ia, kemudian pergi ke tempat kediamannya.
He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house.
29 Sesampai di rumah, diambilnyalah pisau, dipegangnyalah mayat gundiknya, dipotong-potongnya menurut tulang-tulangnya menjadi dua belas potongan, lalu dikirimnya ke seluruh daerah orang Israel.
And when he was come home he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel.
30 Dan setiap orang yang melihatnya, berkata: "Hal yang demikian belum pernah terjadi dan belum pernah terlihat, sejak orang Israel berangkat keluar dari tanah Mesir sampai sekarang. Perhatikanlah itu, pertimbangkanlah, lalu berbicaralah!"
And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.
