Mpitsara 19
1 Tañ’andro izay, ie tsy amam-panjaka t’Israele, le teo ty nte-Levý nañialo ankalo’ o vohi-bohi’ i Efraimeo, nangalake sakeza e Betlekheme’ Iehoda añe,
Also in those dayes, when there was no king in Israel, a certaine Leuite dwelt on the side of mount Ephraim, and tooke to wife a concubine out of Beth-lehem Iudah,
2 fe nanao hatsimirirañe ama’e i amato’ey vaho nisitak’ aze nimpoly mb’ añ’ anjomban-drae’e e Betlekheme’ Iehoda añe le nandrare tobok’ añe efa-bolañe.
And his concubine played ye whore there, and went away from him vnto her fathers house to Beth-lehem Iudah, and there continued the space of foure moneths.
3 Niavotse hañorik’ aze mb’eo amy zao i vali’ey, hamere aze vaho hampoli’e; nindre ama’e ty mpitoro’e naho ty borìke roe; le nampihovae’ i ampelay añ’ anjomban-drae’e ao; aa ie nionin-drae’ i ampelay, le niehake te nifandrendrek’ ama’e;
And her husband arose and went after her, to speake friendly vnto her, and to bring her againe: he had also his seruant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him vnto her fathers house, and when the yong womans father sawe him, he reioyced of his comming.
4 nitañ’ aze eo i rafoza’ey, ty rae’ i ampelay, naho niambesatse telo andro ama’e re nikama naho ninoñe, vaho nialeñ’ ao.
And his father in lawe, the yong womans father reteined him: and he abode with him three dayes: so they did eate and drinke, and lodged there.
5 Aa amy andro fahefatsey, ie nitroatse marain-dray, le niongake hañavelo mb’eo i nte-Leviy; fa hoe ty rae’ i ampelay amy vinanto’ey, Ampaozaro ty arofo’o ami’ty mofo piti’e, vaho hiavotse.
And when the fourth day came, they arose earely in the morning, and he prepared to depart: then the yong womans father said vnto his sonne in lawe, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and then go your way.
6 Niambesatse amy zao iereo roroe, nikama naho ninoñe, le hoe ty rae’ i ampelay amy ‘ndatiy, Ehe te hahafale azo ty hitambatse atoy, hampihaha ty arofo’o.
So they sate downe, and did eate and drinke both of them together. And the yong womans father said vnto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tary all night, and let thine heart be merie.
7 Aa ie niongake hañavelo indatiy, le nanjitse aze ty rafoza’e hitambatse ao hey hialeñe.
And when the man rose vp to depart, his father in lawe was earnest: therefore he returned, and lodged there.
8 Niampitso amy andro faha-limey re hañavelo, fa hoe ty rae’i ampelay: Ehe, ampitofào ty arofo’o, vaho mahaliñisa ampara’ te miroñe ty andro; aa le nikama iereo roe.
And he arose vp earely the fifth day to depart, and the yong womans father saide, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee: and they taryed vntill after midday, and they both did eate.
9 Ie niongake hienga mb’eo indatiy, ie naho i sakeza’ey vaho i mpitoro’ey; le hoe ty asa’ i rafoza’e, rae’ i ampelaiy ama’e: Hehe te ho haleñe i àndroy; Ehe mialeña atoa, hahafale ty arofo’o, le hañaleñalen-drehe te maray hañavelo mb’ an-kiboho’o mb’eo.
Afterwarde when the man arose to depart with his concubine and his seruant, his father in lawe, the yong womans father said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the day draweth towarde euen: I pray you, tary all night: beholde, the sunne goeth to rest: lodge here, that thine heart may be merie, and to morowe get you earely vpon your way, and goe to thy tent.
10 Fe tsy nimete nialeñe ao ka indatiy; niongake re, niavotse vaho niary e Iebose, toe Ierosalaime; ama’e i borìke roe reke-pitobohañe rey, naho i sakeza’ey.
But the man would not tarry, but arose and departed, and came ouer against Iebus, (which is Ierusalem) and his two asses laden, and his concubine were with him.
11 Aa ie narine Iebose, le fa ho nitsofotse i àndroy vaho hoe i mpitoroñey amy talè’ey, Antao hitsile mb’ amo rova’ o nte-Ieboseo mb’eo, hialeñe ao.
When they were neere to Iebus, the day was sore spent, and the seruant said vnto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let vs turne into this citie of the Iebusites, and lodge all night there.
12 Fa hoe i talè’ey tama’e: Tsy hitsile etoa tika, himoak’ an-drovan’ ambahiny ao ie tsy a o ana’ Israeleo; hionjomb’e Gebà mb’eo tika.
And his master answered him, We will not turne into the citie of strangers that are not of the children of Israel, but we will goe forth to Gibeah.
13 Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Antao hañarine ty raik’ amo toetse zao hialeñan-tika: ke e Gebà he e Ramà ao.
And he said vnto his seruant, Come, and let vs drawe neere to one of these places, that wee may lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.
14 Aa le nionjoñe iereo nanjotike mb’eo, ampara’ te nitsofotse ty àndro, ie marine’ i Gebà’ i Beniamine.
So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin.
15 Niveve mb’eo iereo, nimoake, hialeñe e Gebà ao; le nizilik’ ao nitoboke an-kiririsa’ i rovay amy te tsy eo ty nampihova iareo añ’anjomba’e.
Then they turned thither to goe in and lodge in Gibeah: and when he came, he sate him downe in a streete of the citie: for there was no man that tooke them into his house to lodging.
16 Ingo amy zao, ty androanavy boak’ añ’ava, an-tete’e añe amy harivay, boak’ am-bohi’ i Efraime nañialo e Gebà ao, fa ana’ Iemený ka ondaty an-toetseo.
And beholde, there came an old man from his work out of the field at euen, and the man was of mount Ephraim, but dwelt in Gibeah: and the men of the place were the children of Iemini.
17 Niandra amy zao i androanaviy, nahaoniñe i mpañavelo an-tamea’ i rovay vaho hoe re tama’e: Homb’aia irehe, naho boak’aia?
And when he had lift vp his eyes, he sawe a wayfairing man in the streetes of the citie: then this olde man sayde, Whither goest thou, and whence camest thou?
18 Le hoe re tama’e: Fiboaha’ay ty Betlekheme’ Iehoda mionjoñe mb’añ’ ila’ i vohi’ Efraimey mb’eo, i nihirifakoy, te Betlekheme’ Iehoda hey, le mb’an-kiboho’ Iehovà mb’eo, fe tsy eo ty mampihova anay añ’ anjomba’e,
And hee answered him, Wee came from Beth-lehem Iudah, vnto the side of Mout Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem Iudah, and go now to the house of the Lord: and no man receiueth mee to house,
19 ndra te aman’ ahetse naho haneñe o borìke’aio vaho ao ty mofo naho divay ho anay naho o mpitoro’o ampelao naho i ajalahy mindre amo mpitoro’ooy; toe tsy amam-pipaiañe.
Although we haue straw and prouader for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmayde, and for the boy that is with thy seruant: we lacke nothing.
20 Le hoe i androanaviy, Fañanintsiñe ama’o; hene apoho amako ze mete ho paia’o fe ko mialeñe an-tameañe atoy.
And the olde man sayde, Peace bee with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou finde with me: onely abide not in the streete al night.
21 Aa le nampihovae’e añ’anjomba’e ao, naho finaha’e ahetse o borìkeo. Nanasa fandia iareo, le nikama vaho ninoñe.
So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke.
22 Aa ie nampifale arofo le niheo mb’eo ondati’ i rovaio, ondaty tsy manjofakeo haname i anjombay mb’ atia mb’ aroa naho namofoke i lala’ey vaho nanao amy tompon’ anjombay, amy androanaviy ty hoe, akaro indaty nizilik’ an-kiboho’oy, haharendreha’ay aze.
And as they were making their hearts merie, beholde, the men of the citie, wicked men beset the house round about, and smote at the doore, and spake to this olde man the master of the house saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may knowe him.
23 Niakatse mb’am’ iereo ao amy zao indatiy, i tompon’ anjombay, nanao ty hoe ama’e, Tsie, ry longokoo, ehe, ko manao o halò-tsereke zao, oniñe te nizilik’ añ’ akibako atoy indatiy, ko anoe’ areo o hatsivokarañe zao.
And this man the master of ye house went out vnto the, and said vnto them, Nay my brethre, do not so wickedly, I pray you: seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villenie.
24 Ingo ty somondrara anak’ ampelako naho i sakeza’ey; hakareko iereo henaneo, ampiambaneo, le ano ze atao’ areo ho soa; fa ko manao o hagegeañe zao amy ‘ndatiy.
Behold, here is my daughter, a virgine, and his concubine: them wil I bring out nowe, and humble them, and doe with them what seemeth you good: but to this man doe not this villenie.
25 Fe tsy hinao’ ondatio, aa le rinambe’ indatiy i sakeza’ey naho nasese’e mb’am’ iereo; le nandrendrek’ aze iareo vaho nivahora’ iareo ampara’ te niporea’ ty maray; aa ie ho nanjirike i àndroy, le navotso’ iareo.
But the men woulde not hearken to him: therefore ye man tooke his concubine, and brought her out vnto them: and they knewe her and abused her all the night vnto the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her goe.
26 Aa le nimb’eo ami’ty mielizava i ampelay nikorovoke an-dalan’ anjomba’ indaty niheove’ i talè’ey ampara’ te nazava.
So the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell downe at the doore of the mans house where her Lord was, till the light day.
27 Nitroatse te manjirik’ àndro i talè’ey nanokake o lalan’ anjombao vaho niakatse hiavota’e mb’eo fe heheke i ampela sakeza’ey nibabok’ an-dala’ i anjombay eo, o taña’eo an’ tokonañe eo.
And her lorde arose in the morning, and opened the doores of the house, and went out to goe his way, and beholde, the woman his concubine was dead at the doore of the house and her handes lay vpon the thresholde.
28 Le hoe re ama’e, miongaha, fa hionjomb’eo tika; f’ie tsy amam-panoiñe; aa le niongake indatiy naho nasampe’e amy borikey, vaho noly mb’an-toe’e mb’ eo.
And hee said vnto her, Vp and let vs goe: but shee answered not. Then he tooke her vp vpon the asse, and the man rose vp, and went vnto his place.
29 Aa ie pok’an-kiboho’e ao, nangalake meso naho rinambe’e i sakeza’ey le tinori’e folo-ro’amby, fange am-pange’e, vaho hene nampihitrife’e mb’ amo efe’ Israeleo mb’eo.
And whe he was come to his house, he took a knife, and laid hand on his concubine, and deuided her in pieces with her bones into twelue parts, and sent her through all quarters of Israel.
30 Aa le hoe ty natao’ o nandrendrek’ azeo, Mbe lia’e tsy nanoeñe, tsy nioniñe o sata zao sikal’ amy andro niavota’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mitsraimey ampara’ te henane, ivetsevetseo, isafirio, vaho ifanaontsio.
And all that saw it, said, There was no such thing done or seene since the time that the children of Israel came vp from the lande of Egypt vnto this day: consider the matter, consult and giue sentence.
