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.
In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a man, a Levite, living for a while in the most remote area of the hill country of Ephraim. He took for himself a woman, 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 his concubine was unfaithful to him; she left him and went back to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah. She stayed there 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.
Then her husband got up and went after her in order to persuade her to come back. His servant was with him, and a pair of donkeys. She brought him into her father's house. When the girl's father saw him, he was glad.
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 for three days. They ate and drank, and they spent the night 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 and he prepared to go, but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen yourself with a bit of bread, then you may 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 the two of them sat down to eat and drink together. Then the girl's father said, “Please be willing to spend the night and have a good time.”
7 Hianagi Livae ne'mo'a vunaku keonke'zama'a enerino otigeno, nenemo'a tutu huno, Mago kenagera masetenka vuo, higeno mase'ne.
When the Levite got up to leave, the father of the young woman urged him to stay, so he changed his plan and spent the night there again.
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 woke up early to leave, but the girl's father said, “Strengthen yourself, and wait until the afternoon.” So the two of them had a meal.
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 Levite and his concubine and his servant rose up to depart, his father-in-law, the girl's father said to him, “See, now the day is advancing toward evening. Please stay another night, and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and go back 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 Levite was not willing to spend the night. He got up and left. He went toward Jebus (that is Jerusalem). He had a pair of saddled donkeys—and his concubine was with him.
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, the day was nearly over, and the servant said to his master, “Come, let us turn aside to the city of the Jebusites and spend the night 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 master said to him, “We will not turn aside into a city of foreigners who do not belong to the people of Israel. We will go on to Gibeah.”
13 Anage nehuno ana nehaza nera amanage huno asami'ne. Enketa ko nevuta Gibea kumatero Rama kumatero umasamneno.
The Levite said to his young man, “Come, let us go to one of those other places, and 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 went on, and the sun set as they came near to Gibeah, in the territory of Benjamin.
15 ana kumapi masenaku kuma amu'nompi umani'nazanagi, mago vahe'mo'a zamavare nompina ontege'za mani'nazageno,
They turned aside there to spend the night in Gibeah. They went and sat down in the city square, but no one took them into his house 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.
But then an old man was coming from his work in the field that evening. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying for a while in Gibeah. But the men living in that place were Benjamites.
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?
He raised his eyes and saw the traveler in the city square. The old man said, “Where are you going? Where are you coming 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 said to him, “We are on our way from Bethlehem in Judah to the most remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, which is where I come from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to the house of Yahweh, but there is no one who will take me into his house.
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 feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine for me and your female servant here, and for this young man with your servants. We lack nothing.”
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.
The old man greeted them, “Peace be with you! I will take care of all your needs. 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 the man brought the Levite into his house and gave feed to the donkeys. 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 making their hearts glad, some men of the city, worthless men, surrounded the house, beating on the door. They spoke to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, so we can have sex 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 man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, please do not do this evil thing! Since this man is a guest in my house, do not do this wicked thing!
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.
See, my virgin daughter and his concubine are here. Let me bring them out now. Violate them and do with them whatever you like. But do not do such a wicked 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 man seized his concubine and brought her out to them. They raped her and abused her all 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.
At dawn the woman came and she fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, and she 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,
Her master rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way. He could see his concubine lying there at the door, 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.
The Levite said to her, “Get up. Let us go.” But there was no answer. He put her on the donkey, and the man 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 the Levite came to his house, he took a knife, and he took hold of his concubine, and cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent the pieces everywhere throughout 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?
All who saw this said, “Such a thing has never been done or seen from the day the people of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this present day. Think about it! Give us advice! Tell us what to do!”
