Sudije 19
1 I u to vrijeme, kad ne bješe cara u Izrailju, bješe jedan Levit koji življaše kao došljak kraj gore Jefremove, i uze inoèu iz Vitlejema Judina.
And it came to pass in those days, when, king, there was none in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem-judah.
2 A inoèa njegova èinjaše preljubu kod njega, pa otide od njega kuæi oca svojega u Vitlejem Judin, i osta ondje èetiri mjeseca.
And his concubine went astray against him, and departed from him, unto the house of her father, in Bethlehem-judah, —and remained there, the space of four months.
3 A muž njezin usta i otide za njom da joj lijepo govori i da je dovede natrag, imajuæi sa sobom momka svojega, i dva magarca; i ona ga uvede u kuæu oca svojega, i kad ga vidje otac njezin obradova se dolasku njegovu.
Then arose her husband, and went after her, to speak unto her heart, that he might bring her back again, having his young man with him, and a couple of asses, —and she brought him into the house of her father, and, when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 I ustavi ga tast njegov, otac mladièin, i osta kod njega tri dana, i ondje jeðahu i pijahu i noæivahu.
And his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, constrained him, and he abode with him three days, —and they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
5 A èetvrti dan kad ustaše rano, usta i on da ide; ali otac mladièin reèe zetu svojemu: potkrijepi srce svoje zalogajem hljeba, pa onda idite.
And it came to pass, on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, and gat up to go, that the father of the damsel said unto his son-in-law, —Stay thy heart with a morsel of bread, and, afterwards, ye shall go your way.
6 I tako sjedoše i jedoše obojica zajedno i napiše se; pa reèe otac mladièin mužu: hajde ostani još noæas, i budi veseo.
So they both of them sat down and did eat together, and drink. Then said the father of the damsel unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry the night, and let thy heart be glad.
7 Ali èovjek usta da ide; ali tast njegov navali na nj, te opet noæi ondje.
And, when the man rose up to go, his father-in-law pressed him, so he turned back and tarried the night there.
8 Potom urani petoga dana da ide; i reèe mu otac mladièin: potkrijepi srce svoje. I jeduæi zajedno zabaviše se dokle i dan naže.
And, when he arose early on the morning of the fifth day, to go, the father of the damsel said—Come now, stay thy heart, and tarry ye until the decline of the day. And they did eat, both of them.
9 Tada usta èovjek da ide, on i inoèa mu i momak; a tast njegov, otac mladièin, reèe mu: eto, dan je veæ nagao, veèe je, prenoæite ovdje; eto dockan je, prenoæi ovdje, i budi veseo, pa sjutra uranite na put, i idi k svojemu šatoru.
And, when the man rose up to go—he and his concubine and his young man, —his father-in-law, the father of the damsel, said to him, Come now, see! the day hath sunk down towards evening, come now! tarry the night; lo! the day goeth down, tarry the night here, and let thy heart be glad, so shall ye rise early to-morrow for your journey, and thou shalt go thy way to thine own home.
10 Ali èovjek ne htje noæiti; nego usta i poðe; i doðe do Jevusa, a to je Jerusalim, i s njim dva magarca natovarena i inoèa njegova.
But the man would not tarry the night, but rose up and went his way, and came as far as over against Jebus, the same, is Jerusalem, —and, with him, were a couple of asses, saddled, his concubine also, was with him.
11 A kad bijahu blizu Jevusa, dan bijaše nagao vrlo, pa reèe sluga gospodaru svojemu: hajde brže da se svratimo u taj grad Jevus, i tu da noæimo.
They being by Jebus, and, the day, having gone far down, the young man said unto his lord—Do come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and tarry the night therein.
12 A gospodar mu reèe: neæemo svrtati u tuð grad, koji nije sinova Izrailjevijeh, nego æemo iæi do Gavaje.
And his lord said unto him, We will not turn aside into a city of aliens, who are, not of the sons of Israel, —but will pass on as far as Gibeah.
13 Još reèe momku svojemu: hajde brže da stignemo u koje od tijeh mjesta i da noæimo u Gavaji ili u Rami.
And he said to his young man, Come and let us draw near unto one of the places, —and tarry the night in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
14 I minuše onuda i otidoše; i sunce ih zaðe blizu Gavaje Venijaminove.
So they passed on, and went their way, —and the sun went in upon them beside Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
15 I okretoše onamo da otidu i prenoæe u Gavaji; i kad uðe, sjede na ulici gradskoj; i ne bi nikoga da ih primi u kuæu da prenoæe.
Then turned they aside there, to go in and tarry the night in Gibeah, —so he went in and abode in the broadway of the city; and there was no one minded to take them into a house, to tarry the night.
16 I gle, jedan starac vraæaše se s posla svojega iz polja uveèe, a bijaše iz gore Jefremove i življaše kao došljak u Gavaji; a ljudi onoga mjesta bjehu sinovi Venijaminovi.
But lo! an old man, coming in from his work, out of the field, in the evening, and, the man, was from the hill country of Ephraim, he himself, being a sojourner in Gibeah, —but, the men of the place, were Benjamites.
17 I on podigav oèi svoje ugleda onoga èovjeka putnika na ulici gradskoj; i reèe mu starac: kuda ideš? i otkuda ideš?
So he lifted up his eyes, and saw a wayfaring man in the broadway of the city, —and the old man said—Whither goest thou? and from whence hast thou come?
18 A on mu odgovori: idemo od Vitlejema Judina do na kraj gore Jefremove; odande sam, pa sam išao do Vitlejema Judina, a sada idem k domu Gospodnjemu, i nema nikoga da me primi u kuæu.
And he said unto him—We, are passing along, from Bethlehem-judah, unto the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, whence I am, but I have been as far as Bethlehem-judah, and now, unto the house of Yahweh, am I going, and there is no one minded to take me into a house.
19 A imamo i slame i piæe za magarce svoje, i hljeba i vina za se i za sluškinju tvoju i za momka koji je sa slugom tvojim; imamo svega dosta.
Nevertheless, straw and fodder too, is there for our asses, yea moreover, bread and wine, there are for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man that is with thy servants, —there is lack, of nothing.
20 A starac mu reèe: budi miran; što ti god nedostaje, ja æu se starati za to; samo nemoj noæiti na ulici.
And the old man said—Thou art welcome! only, all thy wants, be on me, —by no means, in the broadway, mayest thou lodge.
21 I uvede ga u svoju kuæu, i položi magarcima; potom opraše noge, i jedoše i piše.
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender to the asses, —and they bathed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 A kad se razveseliše, gle, ljudi onoga grada, bezakonici, opkoliše kuæu, i stadoše lupati u vrata, i rekoše starcu, gospodaru od kuæe, govoreæi: izvedi toga èovjeka što je ušao u tvoju kuæu, da ga poznamo.
They, were gladdening their heart, when lo! men of the city, men of the sons of the Abandoned One, beset the house round about, beating violently against the door, —and they spake unto the old man the owner of the house, saying, Bring forth the man that hath entered into thy house, that we may know him.
23 I izašav k njima onaj èovjek, gospodar od kuæe, reèe im: ne, braæo, ne èinite zla; kad je èovjek ušao u moju kuæu, ne èinite toga bezumlja.
And the man, the owner of the house, went forth unto them, and said unto them, Do not, my brethren, do not act vilely, I pray you, —after this man hath entered into my house, do not commit this impiety.
24 Evo kæi moja djevojka i inoèa njegova, njih æu vam izvesti, pa njih osramotite i èinite s njima što vam je volja, samo èovjeku ovomu ne èinite toga bezumlja.
Lo, my virgin daughter, and his concubine, I must needs now bring, them, forth, and ye must humble, them, and do, unto them, what seemeth good in your own eyes, —but, unto this man, must ye not do this impious thing!
25 Ali ga ne htješe poslušati oni ljudi; tada onaj èovjek uze inoèu svoju i izvede je napolje k njima, i oni je poznaše, i zlostaviše je cijelu noæ do zore, i pustiše je kad zora zabijelje.
But the men would not hearken unto him, so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto them, outside, —and they knew, her, and abused her all the night, until the morning, and let her go at the uprisings of the dawn.
26 I došavši žena u zoru pade kod vrata od kuæe onoga èovjeka gdje bješe gospodar njezin, i leža dokle se ne rasvanu.
So the woman came in at the turnings of the morning, —and fell down at the entrance of the man’s house where her lord was, and [lay there] till it was light.
27 A gospodar njezin usta ujutru, i kad otvori vrata i izaðe da ide svojim putem, a to žena inoèa njegova ležaše na vratima kuænijem, i ruke joj na pragu.
So then her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went forth, to go on his journey, —when lo! the woman, his concubine, fallen at the entrance of the house, with her hands upon the threshold.
28 I reèe joj: ustani da idemo. Ali ne bi odgovora; tada je metnu na magarca, i ustavši èovjek poðe u mjesto svoje,
And he said unto her—Up! and let us be going. But there was no answer. So he took her up on the ass, and the man rose up, and went his way to his own place.
29 I došav kuæi svojoj uze maè, i uze inoèu svoju i isijeèe je s kostima na dvanaest komada i razasla u sve krajeve Izrailjeve.
And, when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, —and sent her throughout all the bounds of Israel.
30 I ko god vidje govoraše: nije se uèinilo niti se vidjelo tako što otkad izidoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira do danas. Promislite o tom i vijeæajte i govorite.
And so it was, that every one who beheld said—There hath not happened, nor been seen the like of this, from the day when the sons of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt, until this day: Put it to yourselves contemning it, take counsel and speak!
