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 Levite, who dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, who took a wife of Bethlehem Juda:
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.
And she left him and returned to her father’s house in Bethlehem, and abode with him 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, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father’s house. And when his father in law had heard 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 embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly.
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 early in the morning he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart.
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 ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here today, and let us make merry 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 he rising up began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay 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 was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And 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 arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me today also, and spend the day in mirth, and tomorrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy 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 would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine.
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 come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there.
12 Bet viņa kungs uz viņu sacīja: mēs negribam griezties uz svešu pilsētu, kas nav no Israēla bērniem, bet gribam noiet līdz Ģibejai.
His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa:
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 shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama.
14 Tā tie gāja tālāk un staigāja, un saule tiem nogāja it klātu pie Ģibejas, kas pieder Benjaminam.
So they passed by Jebus, and went on their journey, and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gabaa, which is in 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 they turned into it, to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge.
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 out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini.
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 said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou?
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 came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will 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 for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but 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 answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not 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 brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast.
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.
While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial, (that is, without yoke, ) came and beset the old man’s house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, 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 said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly.
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 maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not 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.
They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go 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, at the dawning of the day, came to the door of the house where her lord lodged, and there 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.
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on 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.
He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and 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 was come home he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders 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 every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done.
