Jasi Vahere 19
1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mofo kinima omani'nea knafina mago Livae nagapinti nera Efraemi agona kokampi mani'ne. Hagi ana ne'mo'a mago kna Juda mopafi vuno, Betlehemu kumateti nampa 2ara a'tampi ome avreno e'ne.
Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a Levite who lived in the remote hill country of Ephraim took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
2 Hianagi ana a'mo'a mago'a vene'nene savari huteno, nevena atreno kuma'arega 4'a ika umani'ne.
But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah. After she had been there four months,
3 Ana'ma higeno'a neve'a nenaro arimpa omeri fru huno avreno enaku eri'za ne'ane, tare donki afu'ane nevreno vu'ne. Hagi ana kumate'ma uhanatigeno'a, ana ne'mofo nenaro'a avreno nefa nonte vigeno, nefa'a tusi muse nehuno avrente'ne.
her husband got up and went after her to speak kindly to her and bring her back, taking his servant and a pair of donkeys. So the girl brought him into her father’s house, and when her father saw him, he gladly welcomed him.
4 Hagi ana ne'mofo nenemo'a osi'a manigenka vuo higeno, ana ne'mo'a nenemo nompina ne'zane tinena neneno 3'a kenage manino maseno hu'ne.
His father-in-law, the girl’s father, persuaded him to stay, so he remained with him three days, eating, drinking, and lodging there.
5 Hagi namba 4 knarera nanterame otino noma'arega vunaku keonke'zana retro hu'ne. Hianagi nenemo'a huno, Bretia netenka vugahane.
On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning and prepared to depart, but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and then you can go.”
6 Anagema nenemo'a higeno'a ana netremokea ete manike ne'zane tinena ne'na'e. Ana ne'zama nenakeno'a nenemo'a otiazamo amanage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki mago kenage'ene maseneta ne'zana neneta musena huteta vi'o.
So they sat down and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the girl’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay overnight and let your heart be merry.”
7 Hianagi Livae ne'mo'a vunaku keonke'zama'a enerino otigeno, nenemo'a tutu huno, Mago kenagera masetenka vuo, higeno mase'ne.
The man got up to depart, but his father-in-law persuaded him, so he stayed there that night.
8 Hagi maseno namba 5fu knarera nanterame otino vunaku retrotra higeno, nenemo'a otiazamo amanage hu'ne, ne'zana krenka nenenka mani'negeno kinagasena vuo, huno higeke ete mago knane mani'neke ne'zana kreke ne'na'e.
On the fifth day, he got up early in the morning to depart, but the girl’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they waited until late afternoon and the two of them ate.
9 Hagi ana'ma hute'za agrama, nenaro'ma eri'za ne'ama hu'za vunaku tro hu'za oti'zageno, ana a'mofo nefa'a amanage hu'ne, Keho, hago kinagaseanki, meni kenage'enena maseta musena huteta, okina nanterame otita vugahaze.
When the man got up to depart with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look, the day is drawing to a close. Please spend the night. See, the day is almost over. Spend the night here, that your heart may be merry. Then you can get up early tomorrow for your journey home.”
10 Hianagi ana ne'mo'a ru'enema masezankura avesra nehuno, donki afutrema'amofo agumpi mani'noma vu'zana retro hunenteno, nenaronena nevreno Jebusi kumakura menina e'i Jerusalemie nehazankino ana kantega vu'ne.
But the man was unwilling to spend the night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
11 Hagi Jebusi kumate'ma azageno'a kinagasegeno, eri'za ne'amo'a amanage hu'ne. Jebusi vahe ran kumapi umasenune.
When they were near Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Please, let us stop at this Jebusite city and spend the night here.”
12 Anagema higeno'a kva'amo'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe kumapina Israeli vahe'ma omani'nesia kumapina uomasegosunanki, nevuta Gibea uhanatigahune.
But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites. We will go on to Gibeah.”
13 Anage nehuno ana nehaza nera amanage huno asami'ne. Enketa ko nevuta Gibea kumatero Rama kumatero umasamneno.
He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
14 E'i anage nehu'za vuvava hu'za Benzameni naga'mofo mopafi Gibea kuma tava'onte uhanati'zageno zagemo'a uramige'za,
So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.
15 ana kumapi masenaku kuma amu'nompi umani'nazanagi, mago vahe'mo'a zamavare nompina ontege'za mani'nazageno,
They stopped to go in and lodge in Gibeah. The Levite went in and sat down in the city square, but no one would take them into his home for the night.
16 mago ranafamo hoza'aregatira kinaga e'ne. Ana nera Efraemi agona kokampinti ne' Benzameni naga'ene Gibea kumate zoka emani'nea nere.
That evening an old man from the hill country of Ephraim, who was residing in Gibeah (the men of that place were Benjamites), came in from his work in the field.
17 Hagi ana ranafa ne'mo'ma ne-eno'ma eme kesaga huno keama ana naga'ma kuma amu'nompima mani'nazageno'a anage huno zamantahige'ne, Igati e'neta iga vunaku emani'naze?
When he looked up and saw the traveler in the city square, the old man asked, “Where are you going, and where have you come from?”
18 Higeno ana ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Efraemi agona kokampi kumanirega vunaku Juda kaziga Betlehemu kumateti eta emani'nonanagi, vahe'mo'za nozamifina tavreontazageta mani'none.
The Levite replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and now I am going to the house of the LORD; but no one has taken me into his home,
19 Hagi donkitimofo ne'zane, nagrama nesua wainine bretine, a'nimofo ne'zane eri'za vahe'nimofo ne'zanena eri'nonankita mago zankura upara osu'none.
even though there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me and the maidservant and young man with me. There is nothing that we, your servants, lack.”
20 Anage'ma hazageno'a ana ranafa ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, knarekita nagri nontega vanage'na maka'mota kegava huramantegahue. Hianagi amafina omasegahaze.
“Peace to you,” said the old man. “Let me supply everything you need. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
21 Anage nehuno zamavareno noma'afi vuno donkizmimofo ne'zana nezamige'za zamagra zamaga ome sese hute'za ne'zane tinena ne'naze.
So he brought him to his house and fed his donkeys. And they washed their feet and ate and drank.
22 Hagi ne'zama nene'za musema nehazageno'a, ana kumapi'ma hazenkema nehaza vene'nemo'za anama mani'naza nona eme avazagigagiza kafantera vagare vagare hu'za nemasagiza, ana ranafagura amanage hu'naze, E'ima nonka'afima avrente'nana nera avreramigeta monko zana huntamneno.
While they were enjoying themselves, suddenly the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they said to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house, so we can have relations with him!”
23 Hagi ana ranafamo'a atiramiazamo amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nafuheta, amanahu kefo avu'ava zana osiho. Na'ankure ama ne'mo'a ko noniafi emani'ne.
The owner of the house went out and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! After all, this man is a guest in my house. Do not commit this outrage.
24 Hagi keho, vene omase mofani'ane ana ne'mofo a'enena ama mani'na'anki zanavreta vuta nazano huzanante'naku'ma hanaza zana ome huznanteho. Hianagi ama ne'mofona kefo avu'avara huonteho.
Look, let me bring out my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine, and you can use them and do with them as you wish. But do not do such a vile thing to this man.”
25 Hianagi ana vene'neramimo'za ke'a ontahizageno, Livae ne'mo'a nenarona kaha anagino retufezamige'za ana vene'nemo'za ana ara monkozana hunte'za azeri haviza hu'za vano nehazageno kotige'za atrazageno e'ne.
But the men would not listen to him. So the Levite took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
26 Hagi ana a'mo'a eazamo neve'ma mase'nea nomofo kahante eme traka huno mase'negeno rumasa hu'ne.
Early that morning, the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, collapsed at the doorway, and lay there until it was light.
27 Hagi neve'ma vunaku'ma nanterama otino'ma kafama anagiana nenaro'a, kaha tra zafare azeriteno mase'negeno negeno anage hu'ne,
In the morning, when her master got up and opened the doors of the house to go out on his journey, there was his concubine, collapsed in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 otigeta havamneno. Hianagi ana a'mo'a kea osigeno donki afu'amofo agumpi avufga'a erinteno noma'arega vu'ne.
“Get up,” he told her. “Let us go.” But there was no response. So the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
29 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma noma'arema uhanatino'a, kazi erino ana ara 12fu'afi taga huteno, 12fu'a Israeli naga'nofi'ma mani'nazarega mago mago huno ana a'mofo avufga atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.
When he reached his house, he picked up a knife, took hold of his concubine, cut her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel.
30 Hagi ana zama kaza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Isipiti'ma e'nona knareti'ma eno ama knare'ma ehanatiana Israeli vahe'mota amanahu kefo hazenkezana onke'nonaza fore hianki, ama ana zankura na'ane huta tamagesa antahize?
And everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has been seen or done from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt until this day. Think it over, take counsel, and speak up!”
