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.
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 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.
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 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).
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Bet tas vīrs cēlās iet projām, un viņa tēvocis to ļoti turēja, ka tam bija jāgriežas atpakaļ un tur jāpaliek par nakti.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Bet viņa kungs uz viņu sacīja: mēs negribam griezties uz svešu pilsētu, kas nav no Israēla bērniem, bet gribam noiet līdz Ģibejai.
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 Tad viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: nāc, ka mēs uz vienu no šīm vietām tiekam, un Ģibejā vai Ramā par nakti paliekam.
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 Tā tie gāja tālāk un staigāja, un saule tiem nogāja it klātu pie Ģibejas, kas pieder Benjaminam.
So they went on, and the sun set as they came near to Gibeah, in the territory 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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 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 Tad tas vecais vīrs sacīja: esi ar mieru, viss, kas tev trūkst, ir pie manis, tikai nepaliec par nakti uz ielas.
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 Un viņš to veda savā namā un deva priekš tiem ēzeļiem ēdamo. Kad tie nu savas kājas bija mazgājuši, tad tie ēda un dzēra.
So the man brought the Levite into his house and gave feed to the donkeys. They washed their feet and ate and drank.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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!”
