< Juízes 19 >
1 Aconteceu tambem n'aquelles dias, em que não havia rei em Israel que, houve um homem levita, que peregrinando aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, tomou para si uma mulher concubina, de Beth-lehem de Judah.
It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
2 Porém a sua concubina fornicou contra elle, e foi-se d'elle para casa de seu pae, a Beth-lehem de Judah, e esteve ali alguns dias, a saber, quatro mezes.
His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about four months.
3 E seu marido se levantou, e partiu após d'ella, para lhe fallar conforme ao seu coração, e para tornar a trazel-a: e o seu moço e um par de jumentos iam com elle: e ella o levou a casa de seu pae, e, vendo-o o pae da moça, alegrou-se ao encontrar-se com elle
Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 E seu sogro, o pae da moça, o deteve, e ficou com elle tres dias: e comeram e beberam, e passaram ali a noite.
His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
5 E succedeu que ao quarto dia pela manhã madrugaram, e elle levantou-se para partir: então o pae da moça disse a seu genro: Conforta o teu coração com um bocado de pão, e depois partireis.
It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
6 Assentaram-se pois, e comeram ambos juntos, e beberam; e disse o pae da moça ao homem: Peço-te que ainda esta noite queiras passal-a aqui, e alegre-se o teu coração.
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
7 Porém o homem levantou-se para partir: mas seu sogro o constrangeu a tornar a passar ali a noite.
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
8 E, madrugando ao quinto dia pela manhã para partir, disse o pae da moça: Ora conforta o teu coração. E detiveram-se até já declinar o dia: e ambos juntos comeram.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
9 Então o homem levantou-se para partir, elle, e a sua concubina, e o seu moço: e disse-lhe seu sogro, o pae da moça: Eis que já o dia se abaixa, e já a tarde vem entrando, peço-te que aqui passes a noite; eis que já o dia vae acabando, passa aqui a noite, e que o teu coração se alegre; e ámanhã de madrugada levantae-vos a caminhar, e vae-te para a tua tenda.
When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
10 Porém o homem não quiz ali passar a noite, mas levantou-se, e partiu, e veiu até defronte de Jebus (que é Jerusalem), e com elle o par de jumentos albardados, como tambem a sua concubina.
But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
11 Estando pois já perto de Jebus, e tendo-se já declinado muito o dia, disse o moço a seu senhor: Caminhae agora, e retiremo-nos a esta cidade dos jebuseos, e passemos ali a noite.
When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
12 Porém disse-lhe seu senhor: Não nos retiraremos a nenhuma cidade estranha, que não seja dos filhos de Israel: mas passaremos até Gibeah.
His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
13 Disse mais a seu moço; Caminha, e cheguemos a um d'aquelles logares, e passemos em Gibeah ou em Ramah.
He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
14 Passaram pois adiante, e caminharam, e o sol se lhes poz junto a Gibeah, que é cidade de Benjamin.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 E retiraram-se para lá, para entrarem a passar a noite em Gibeah; e, entrando elle, assentou-se na praça da cidade, porque não houve quem os recolhesse em casa para ali passarem a noite.
They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
16 E eis que um homem velho vinha á tarde do seu trabalho do campo; e era este homem da montanha de Ephraim, mas peregrinava em Gibeah: eram porém os homens d'este logar filhos de Benjamin.
Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Levantando elle pois os olhos, viu a este passageiro na praça da cidade, e disse o velho: Para onde vaes, e d'onde vens?
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
18 E elle lhe disse: Passamos de Beth-lehem de Judah até aos lados da montanha de Ephraim, d'onde sou; porquanto fui a Beth-lehem de Judah: porém agora vou á casa do Senhor; e ninguem ha que me recolha em casa,
He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
19 Ainda que ha palha e pasto para os nossos jumentos, e tambem pão e vinho ha para mim, e para a tua serva, e para o moço que vem com os teus servos: de coisa nenhuma ha falta.
Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
20 Então disse o velho: Paz seja comtigo; tudo quanto te faltar fique ao meu cargo: tão sómente não passes a noite na praça.
And the old man said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
21 E trouxe-o a sua casa, e deu pasto aos jumentos: e, lavando-se os pés, comeram e beberam.
So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 Estando elles alegrando o seu coração, eis que os homens d'aquella cidade (homens que eram filhos de Belial) cercaram a casa, batendo á porta; e fallaram ao velho, senhor da casa, dizendo: Tira para fóra o homem que entrou em tua casa, para que o conheçamos.
As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with him."
23 E o homem, senhor da casa, saiu a elles, e disse-lhes: Não, irmãos meus, ora não façaes similhante mal: já que este homem entrou em minha casa, não façaes tal loucura.
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
24 Eis que a minha filha virgem e a concubina d'elle vol-as tirarei fóra; humilhae-as a ellas, e fazei d'ellas o que parecer bem aos vossos olhos; porém a este homem não façaes loucura similhante.
Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
25 Porém aquelles homens não o quizeram ouvir: então aquelle homem pegou da sua concubina, e lh'a tirou para fóra: e elles a conheceram e abusaram d'ella toda a noite até pela manhã, e, subindo a alva, a deixaram.
But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
26 E ao romper da manhã veiu a mulher, e caiu á porta da casa d'aquelle homem, onde estava seu senhor, e ficou ali até que se fez claro.
Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
27 E, levantando-se seu senhor pela manhã, e abrindo as portas da casa, e saindo a seguir o seu caminho, eis que a mulher, sua concubina, jazia á porta da casa, com as mãos sobre o limiar.
Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 E elle lhe disse: Levanta-te, e vamo-nos, porém não respondeu; então pôl-a sobre o jumento, e levantou-se o homem, e foi-se para o seu logar.
And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
29 Chegando pois á sua casa, tomou um cutelo, e pegou na sua concubina, e a despedaçou com os seus ossos em doze partes: e enviou-as por todos os termos de Israel.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.
30 E succedeu que cada um que tal via dizia: Nunca tal se fez, nem se viu desde o dia em que os filhos d'Israel subiram da terra do Egypto, até ao dia d'hoje: ponderae isto no coração, considerae, e fallae.
And it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
