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.
It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
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.
His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about 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.
Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
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.
His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
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."
It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
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."
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
7 Tetapi ketika orang itu bangun untuk pergi juga, mertuanya itu mendesaknya, sehingga ia tinggal pula di sana bermalam.
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
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.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
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."
When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
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.
But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
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."
When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
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 said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
13 Lagi katanya kepada bujangnya: "Marilah kita berjalan sampai ke salah satu tempat yang di sana dan bermalam di Gibea atau di Rama."
He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
14 Lalu berjalanlah mereka melanjutkan perjalanannya, dan matahari terbenam, ketika mereka dekat Gibea kepunyaan suku Benyamin.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to 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.
They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
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.
Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
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?"
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
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 said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
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."
Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
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 said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
21 Sesudah itu dibawanyalah dia masuk ke rumahnya, lalu keledai-keledai diberinya makan; maka merekapun membasuh kaki, makan dan minum.
So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
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."
As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with 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.
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
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."
Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this 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.
But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
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.
Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
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.
Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands 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.
And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
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.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory 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 it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
