Sog̒u 19
1 Un tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla. Un viens vīrs, Levits, piemita aiz Efraīma kalniem, tas sev ņēma lieku sievu no Jūda Bētlemes.
There was a certain man, a Levite, living beside mount Ephraim, who took a wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
2 Bet viņa liekā sieva pie viņa būdama dzina maucību un nogāja no viņa sava tēva namā uz Bētlemi Judā, un tur sabija kādu laiku, četrus mēnešus.
She left him, and she returned to the house of her father in Bethlehem. And she stayed with him for four months.
3 Tad viņas vīrs cēlās un gāja viņai pakaļ, ka tas mīlīgi ar viņu runātu un viņu vestu atpakaļ, un viņa puisis bija viņam līdz un pāris ēzeļu; un viņa to ieveda sava tēva namā, un kad tās sievietes tēvs viņu redzēja, tad viņš līksmojās viņam pretī (iedams).
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 Un viņa tēvocis, tās sievietes tēvs, viņu paturēja, ka tas trīs dienas pie viņa palika, un tie ēda un dzēra un palika tur par nakti.
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 Un ceturtā dienā tie steidzās agri un cēlās iet projām. Tad tās sievietes tēvs sacīja uz savu znotu: stiprini savu sirdi ar kādu maizes kumosu, un tad jūs varat iet.
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 Tad tie apsēdās un ēda abi kopā un dzēra, un tās sievietes tēvs sacīja uz to vīru: dari lūdzams tā un paliec par nakti, un lai tava sirds līksmojās.
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 Bet tas vīrs cēlās iet projām, un viņa tēvocis to ļoti turēja, ka tam bija jāgriežas atpakaļ un tur jāpaliek par nakti.
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 Kad nu viņš piektā dienā no rīta taisījās aiziet, tad tās sievietes tēvs sacīja: stiprini jel savu sirdi; un tie kavējās, līdz kamēr vakars metās, un tie abi ēda kopā.
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 Tad tas vīrs cēlās aiziet, viņš un viņa liekā sieva un viņa puisis. Bet viņa tēvocis, tās sievietes tēvs, uz viņu sacīja: redzi jel, šī diena jau līdz vakaram ir pavadīta, paliec jel par nakti; redzi, šī diena beidzās, paliec par nakti šeitan un lai tava sirds līksmojās, dodaties rīt agri uz savu ceļu un ej uz savu dzīvokli.
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 Bet tas vīrs negribēja par nakti palikt, un cēlās un aizgāja un nāca pret Jebuzu, tā ir Jeruzāleme, viņš un tas pāris apkrautu ēzeļu un viņa liekā sieva ar viņu.
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 Kad nu tie pie Jebuzas bija, tad jau bija pavakars, un tas puisis sacīja uz savu kungu: nāc lūdzams un ieiesim šinī Jebusiešu pilsētā un paliksim tur par nakti.
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 Bet viņa kungs uz viņu sacīja: mēs negribam griezties uz svešu pilsētu, kas nav no Israēla bērniem, bet gribam noiet līdz Ģibejai.
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 Tad viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: nāc, ka mēs uz vienu no šīm vietām tiekam, un Ģibejā vai Ramā par nakti paliekam.
And when I will have arrived there, we will lodge in that place, or at least in the city of Ramah.”
14 Tā tie gāja tālāk un staigāja, un saule tiem nogāja it klātu pie Ģibejas, kas pieder Benjaminam.
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 Un tie griezās uz turieni, ka nāktu un Ģibejā paliktu par nakti. Kad viņš nu iegāja, tad viņš apsēdās kādā pilsētas ielā, jo tur nebija neviena, kas tiem savā namā gribēja dot naktsmājas vietu.
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 Un redzi, viens vecs vīrs nāca vakarā no sava darba no tīruma, un tas vīrs arīdzan bija no Efraīma kalniem, bet piemita Ģibejā; bet tās vietas ļaudis bija Benjaminieši.
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 Kad tas vecais vīrs nu savas acis pacēla, tad viņš to ceļa vīru ieraudzīja pilsētas ielā un sacīja: uz kurieni tu ej? Un no kurienes tu nāc?
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 Un tas uz viņu sacīja: mēs no Jūda Bētlemes ejam aiz Efraīma kalniem, no kurienes es arī esmu, un es biju nogājis uz Jūda Bētlemi un es eju uz Tā Kunga namu, un neviena nav, kas man mājas vietu dod savā namā.
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 Un tomēr salmi un ēdamais mums priekš mūsu ēzeļiem ir, arī maize un vīns priekš manis un priekš tavas kalpones un priekš tā puiša, kas ir pie taviem kalpiem; mums nekādas lietas netrūkst.
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 Tad tas vecais vīrs sacīja: esi ar mieru, viss, kas tev trūkst, ir pie manis, tikai nepaliec par nakti uz ielas.
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 Un viņš to veda savā namā un deva priekš tiem ēzeļiem ēdamo. Kad tie nu savas kājas bija mazgājuši, tad tie ēda un dzēra.
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 Kad tie nu savu sirdi atspirdzināja, redzi, tad tās pilsētas vīri, bezdievīgi ļaudis, apstāja to namu un klaudzināja pie durvīm. Un tie sacīja uz to veco vīru, tā nama saimnieku: izved to vīru, kas nācis tavā namā, ka mēs to atzīstam.
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 Un tas vīrs, tā nama saimnieks, pie tiem izgāja un uz tiem sacīja: ne tā, mani brāļi, nedariet lūdzami tādu grēku; kad nu šis vīrs manā namā nācis, nedariet šo trakumu.
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 Redzi, man ir viena meita, jaunava, un viņam lieka sieva, tās es jums gribu izvest, ka jūs tās piesmejat un tām darāt, kas jums patīk, bet pie šā vīra nedarāt tādu trakumu.
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 Bet tie vīri to negribēja klausīt; tad tas vīrs sagrāba savu lieko sievu un to izveda pie viņiem ārā, un viņi to atzina un piesmēja cauru nakti līdz rītam un atlaida, kad gaisma metās.
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 Un šī sieva nāca ap rīta laiku un krita pie zemes priekš tā vīra nama durvīm, kur viņas kungs iekšā bija, (un tur gulēja) līdz pat gaismai.
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 Kad nu viņas kungs rītā cēlās un nama durvis atdarīja un izgāja, savu ceļu staigāt, redzi, tad viņa liekā sieva gulēja priekš nama durvīm un viņas rokas uz sliekšņa.
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 Un viņš uz to sacīja: celies, ejam projām, bet tā neatbildēja. Tad tas vīrs to ņēma uz savu ēzeli un cēlās un gāja uz savām mājām.
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 Kad nu viņš savā namā nāca, tad viņš ņēma nazi un sagrāba savu lieko sievu un to sakapāja ar viņas kauliem divpadsmit daļās un to sūtīja uz visām Israēla robežām.
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 Un ikviens, kas to redzēja, tas sacīja: tāda lieta, kā šī, nav notikusi nedz redzēta, kamēr Israēla bērni no Ēģiptes zemes izgājuši līdz šai dienai. Tad nu jūs ņemiet to vērā, dodiet padomu un runājiet.
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.”
