< 사사기 19 >
1 이스라엘에 왕이 없을 그 때에 에브라임 산지 구석에 우거하는 어떤 레위 사람이 유다 베들레헴에서 첩을 취하였더니
There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
2 그 첩이 행음하고 남편을 떠나 유다 베들레헴 그 아비의 집에 돌아가서 거기서 넉달의 날을 보내매
She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for four months.
3 그 남편이 그 여자에게 다정히 말하고 그를 데려오고자 하여 하인 하나와 나귀 두 필을 데리고 그에게로 가매 여자가 그를 인도하여 아비의 집에 들어가니 그 여자의 아비가 그를 보고 환영하니라
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 그 첩장인 곧 여자의 아비가 그를 머물리매 그가 삼일을 그와 함께 거하며 먹고 마시며 거기서 유숙하다가
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 나흘 만에 일찌기 일어나 떠나고자 하매 여자의 아비가 그 사위에게 이르되 `떡을 조금 먹어 그대의 기력을 도운 후에 그대의 길을 행하라'
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 두 사람이 앉아서 함께 먹고 마시매 여자의 아비가 그 사람에게 이르되 `청하노니 이 밤을 여기서 유숙하여 그대의 마음을 즐겁게하라'
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 그 사람이 일어나서 가고자 하되 첩장인의 간청으로 다시 유숙하더니
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 다섯째 날 아침에 일찌기 일어나 떠나고자 하매 여자의 아비가 이르되 `청하노니 그대의 기력을 돕고 해가 기울도록 머물라' 하므로 두 사람이 함께 먹고
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 그 사람이 첩과 하인으로 더불어 일어나 떠나고자 하매 그 첩장인 곧 여자의 아비가 그에게 이르되 `보라! 이제 해가 저물어가니 청컨대 이 밤도 유숙하라 보라! 해가 기울었느니라 그대는 여기서 유숙하여 그대의 마음을 즐겁게 하고 내일 일찌기 그대의 길을 행하여 그대의 집으로 돌아가라'
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 그 사람이 다시 밤을 지내고자 아니하여 일어나 떠나서 여부스 맞은편에 이르렀으니 여부스는 곧 예루살렘이라 안장 지운 나귀 둘과 첩이 그와 함께 하였더라
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 그들이 여부스에 가까왔을 때에 해가 지려 하는지라 종이 주인에게 이르되 `청컨대 우리가 돌이켜 여부스 사람의 이 성읍에 들어 가서 유숙하사이다'
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 주인이 그에게 이르되 `우리가 돌이켜 이스라엘 자손에게 속하지 아니한 외인의 성읍으로 들어갈 것이 아니니 기브아로 나아가리라' 하고
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 또 그 종에게 이르되 `우리가 기브아나 라마 중 한 곳에 나아가 거기서 유숙하자' 하고
And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
14 모두 앞으로 행하더니 베냐민에 속한 기브아에 가까이 이르러는 해가 진지라
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 기브아에 가서 유숙하려고 그리로 돌이켜 들어가서 성읍 거리에 앉았으나 그를 집으로 영접하여 유숙케 하는 자가 없었더라
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 이미 저물매 한 노인이 밭에서 일하다가 돌아오니 그 사람은 본래 에브라임 산지 사람으로서 기브아에 우거하는 자요 그 곳 사람들은 베냐민 사람이더라
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 노인이 눈을 들어 성읍 거리에 행객이 있는 것을 본지라 노인이 묻되 그대는 어디로 가며 어디서 왔느뇨?
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 그가 그에게 이르되 `우리는 유다 베들레헴에서 에브라임 산지 구석으로 가나이다 나는 그곳 사람으로서 유다 베들레헴에 갔다가 이제 여호와의 집으로 가는 중인데 나를 자기 집으로 영접하는 사람이 없나이다
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 우리에게는 나귀들에게 먹일 짚과 보리가 있고 나와 당신의 여종과 당신의 종 우리들과 함께한 소년의 먹을 양식과 포도주가 있어 무엇이든지 부족함이 없나이다'
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 노인이 가로되 `그대는 안심하라 그대의 모든 쓸 것은 나의 담책이니 거리에서는 자지 말라' 하고
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 그를 데리고 자기 집에 들어가서 나귀에게 먹이니 그들이 발을 씻고 먹고 마시니라
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 그들이 마음을 즐겁게 할 때에 그 성읍의 비류들이 그 집을 에워 싸고 문을 두들기며 집 주인 노인에게 말하여 가로되 `네 집에 들어온 사람을 끌어내라 우리가 그를 상관하리라'
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 집 주인 그 사람이 그들에게로 나와서 이르되 `아니라 내 형제들아 청하노니 악을 행치 말라 이 사람이 내 집에 들었으니 이런 망령된 일을 행치 말라
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 보라 여기 내 처녀 딸과 이 사람의 첩이 있은즉 내가 그들을 끌어 내리니 너희가 그들을 욕보이든지 어찌하든지 임의로 하되 오직 이사람에게는 이런 망령된 일을 행치 말라' 하나
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 무리가 듣지 아니하므로 그 사람이 자기 첩을 무리에게로 붙들어 내매 그들이 그에게 행음하여 밤새도록 욕보이다가 새벽 미명에 놓은지라
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 동틀 때에 여인이 그 주인의 우거한 그 사람의 집 문에 이르러 엎드러져 밝기까지 거기 누웠더라
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 그의 주인이 일찌기 일어나 집 문을 열고 떠나고자 하더니 그 여인이 집 문에 엎드러지고 그 두 손이 문지방에 있는 것을 보고
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 그에게 이르되 `일어나라 우리가 떠나가자' 하나 아무 대답이 없는지라 이에 그 시체를 나귀에 싣고 행하여 자기 곳에 돌아가서
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 그 집에 이르러서는 칼을 취하여 첩의 시체를 붙들어 그 마디를 찍어 열 두덩이에 나누고 그것을 이스라엘 사방에 두루 보내매
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 그것을 보는 자가 다 가로되 `이스라엘 자손이 애굽 땅에서 나온 날부터 오늘날까지 이런 일은 행치도 아니하였고 보지도 못하였도다 생각하고 상의한 후에 말하자' 하니라
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.”
