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.
There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
2 Hianagi ana a'mo'a mago'a vene'nene savari huteno, nevena atreno kuma'arega 4'a ika umani'ne.
She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for 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.
And her husband followed her, wishing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to lead her back with him. And he had with him a servant and two donkeys. And she received him, and brought him into the house of her father. And when his father-in-law had heard about this, and had seen him, he met him with joy.
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.
And he embraced the man. And the son-in-law stayed in the house of his father-in-law for three days, eating and drinking with him in a friendly manner.
5 Hagi namba 4 knarera nanterame otino noma'arega vunaku keonke'zana retro hu'ne. Hianagi nenemo'a huno, Bretia netenka vugahane.
But on the fourth day, arising in the night, he intended to set out. But his father-in-law took hold of him, and he said to him, “First taste a little bread, and strengthen your stomach, and then you shall set out.”
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.
And they sat down together, and they ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “I ask you to remain here today, so that we may rejoice together.”
7 Hianagi Livae ne'mo'a vunaku keonke'zama'a enerino otigeno, nenemo'a tutu huno, Mago kenagera masetenka vuo, higeno mase'ne.
But getting up, he intended to begin to set out. But nevertheless, his father-in-law pressed him resolutely, and made him remain with him.
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.
But when morning came, the Levite was preparing for his journey. And his father-in-law said to him again, “I beg you to take a little food, and to be strengthened, until the daylight increases, and after that, you shall set out.” Therefore, they ate together.
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.
And the young man got up, so that he might travel with his wife and servant. And his father-in-law spoke to him again: “Consider that the daylight is declining, and it approaches toward evening. Remain with me also today, and spend the day in gladness. And tomorrow you shall set out, so that you may go to your own house.”
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.
His son-in-law was not willing to agree to his words. Instead, he immediately continued on, and he arrived opposite Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two donkeys carrying burdens, and his mate.
11 Hagi Jebusi kumate'ma azageno'a kinagasegeno, eri'za ne'amo'a amanage hu'ne. Jebusi vahe ran kumapi umasenune.
And now they were near Jebus, but day was turning into night. And the servant said to his lord, “Come, I beg you, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites, so that we may find lodging in it.”
12 Anagema higeno'a kva'amo'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe kumapina Israeli vahe'ma omani'nesia kumapina uomasegosunanki, nevuta Gibea uhanatigahune.
His lord responded to him: “I will not enter into the town of a foreign people, who are not of the sons of Israel. Instead, I will cross over as far as Gibeah.
13 Anage nehuno ana nehaza nera amanage huno asami'ne. Enketa ko nevuta Gibea kumatero Rama kumatero umasamneno.
And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
14 E'i anage nehu'za vuvava hu'za Benzameni naga'mofo mopafi Gibea kuma tava'onte uhanati'zageno zagemo'a uramige'za,
Therefore, they passed by Jebus, and continuing on, they undertook the journey. But the sun went down on them when they were near Gibeah, which is of the tribe of Benjamin.
15 ana kumapi masenaku kuma amu'nompi umani'nazanagi, mago vahe'mo'a zamavare nompina ontege'za mani'nazageno,
And so they diverted to it, so that they might lodge there. And when they had entered, they were sitting in the street of the city. For no one was willing to give them hospitality.
16 mago ranafamo hoza'aregatira kinaga e'ne. Ana nera Efraemi agona kokampinti ne' Benzameni naga'ene Gibea kumate zoka emani'nea nere.
And behold, they saw an old man, returning from the field and from his work in the evening, and he was also from mount Ephraim, and he was living as a stranger in Gibeah. For the men of that region were of the sons of Benjamin.
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?
And the old man, lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city. And he said to him: “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
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.
He answered him: “We set out from Bethlehem of Judah, and we are traveling to our own place, which is beside mount Ephraim. From there we went to Bethlehem, and now we go to the house of God. But no one is willing to receive us under his roof.
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.
We have straw and hay as fodder for the donkeys, and we have bread and wine for the use of myself, and for your handmaid and the servant who is with me. We lack nothing except lodging.”
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.
And the old man responded to him: “Peace be with you. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, I beg you, do not stay in the street.”
21 Anage nehuno zamavareno noma'afi vuno donkizmimofo ne'zana nezamige'za zamagra zamaga ome sese hute'za ne'zane tinena ne'naze.
And he led him into his house, and he gave fodder to his donkeys. And after they had washed their feet, he received them with a banquet.
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.
And while they were feasting, and were refreshing their bodies with food and drink after the labor of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and surrounded the old man’s house. And they began to knock at the door, calling out to the lord of the house, and saying, “Bring out the man who entered your house, so that we may abuse 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.
And the old man went out to them, and he said: “Do not choose, brothers, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
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.
I have a virgin daughter, and this man has a mate. I will lead them out to you, so that you may debase them and may satisfy your lust. Only, I beg you, do not commit this crime against nature on the 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 they were not willing to agree to his words. So the man, discerning this, led out his mate to them, and he delivered her to their sexual abuse. And when they had abused her for the entire night, they released her in the morning.
26 Hagi ana a'mo'a eazamo neve'ma mase'nea nomofo kahante eme traka huno mase'negeno rumasa hu'ne.
But the woman, as darkness was receding, came to the door of the house, where her lord was staying, and there she fell down.
27 Hagi neve'ma vunaku'ma nanterama otino'ma kafama anagiana nenaro'a, kaha tra zafare azeriteno mase'negeno negeno anage hu'ne,
When morning came, the man arose, and he opened the door, so that he might complete the journey that he had begun. And behold, his mate was lying before the door, with her hands reaching out to the threshold.
28 otigeta havamneno. Hianagi ana a'mo'a kea osigeno donki afu'amofo agumpi avufga'a erinteno noma'arega vu'ne.
And he, thinking that she was resting, said to her, “Get up, and let us walk.” But since she gave no response, realizing that she had died, he took her up, and he laid her on his donkey, and he returned to his house.
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.
And when he had arrived, he took up a sword, and he cut into pieces the dead body of his wife, with her bones, into twelve parts. And he sent the pieces into all the parts 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 when each one had seen this, they were crying out together, “Never has such a thing been done in Israel, from the day that our fathers ascended from Egypt, even to the present time. Let a sentence be brought and let us decide in common what ought to be done.”
