Книга Судей израилевых 19
1 И бысть в тыя дни не бяше царя во Израили: и бысть муж левитин живый во стране горы Ефремовы, и поя себе жену подложницу от Вифлеема Иудина:
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 и разгневася нань подложница его, и отиде от него в дом отца своего в Вифлеем Иудин, и бе тамо четыри месяцы:
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 и воста муж ея и иде вслед ея глаголати в сердце ея, обратити ю к себе и привести паки к себе: и отрок его с ним, и двое ослят: она же введе его в дом отца своего:
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 и виде его отец отроковицы и изыде с веселием во сретение его, и удержа его тесть его отец отроковицы, и пребысть с ним три дни, и ядоша и пиша, и спаша тамо.
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 И бысть в день четвертый, и обутреша заутра, и воста поити. И рече отец отроковицы к зятю своему: укрепи сердце твое укрухом хлеба, и по сем пойдете.
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 И седоша, и ядоша оба вкупе и пиша. И рече отец отроковицы к мужу: иди ныне и преспи, и возблажает сердце твое.
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 И воста муж поити: и понуди его тесть его, и седе, и пребысть тамо.
And, when the man rose up to go, his father-in-law pressed him, so he turned back and tarried the night there.
8 И воста рано в пятый день да идет. И рече отец отроковицы: укрепи убо сердце твое хлебом, и пребуди дондеже преклонится день. И ядоша и пиша оба.
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 И воста муж да идет сам и подложница его и отрок его. И рече ему тесть его отец отроковицы: се, уже преклонися день к вечеру, пребуди зде, и возблажает сердце твое, и обутреете утро в путь ваш, и отидеши в селение свое.
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 И не изволи муж пребыти, и воста и отиде: и прииде даже прямо Иевусу, сей есть Иерусалим, и с ним двое ослят с бремены, и подложница его с ним.
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 И приидоша до Иевуса, и день преклонися к вечеру зело: и рече отрок ко господину своему: гряди убо, да уклонимся во град сей Иевус и пребудем в нем.
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 И рече к нему господин его: не уклонимся во град чуждь, в немже несть от сынов Израилевых, но прейдем до Гаваона.
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 И рече ко отроку своему: гряди, да приступим ко единому от мест Гаваонских и пребудем в Гаваоне или в Раме.
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 И минуша, и идоша, и зайде им солнце близ Гаваона, иже есть Вениаминь:
So they passed on, and went their way, —and the sun went in upon them beside Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
15 и уклонишася тамо внити превитати в Гаваоне, и внидоша и седоша на стогнах града: и не бе муж вводяй их в дом превитати.
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 И се, муж стар идяше с дела своего из поля в вечер, и сей муж от горы Ефремли, и той обиташе в Гаваоне: и мужие места сынове Вениамини.
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 И возвед очи свои, виде мужа путника на стогнах градных, и рече муж старец: камо идеши и откуду грядеши?
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 И рече к нему: грядем мы от Вифлеема Иудина даже до стран горы Ефремли, отюнудуже аз есмь: и ходих до Вифлеема Иудина, и иду аз в дом мой: и несть мужа вводящаго мя в дом:
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 а плевы и пища ослятом нашым есть, и мне хлеб и вино есть, и отроковице и отроку: рабом твоим несть скудно ни коея вещи.
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 И рече муж стар: мир тебе: и весь недостаток твой на мне, обаче на стогнах не лязи.
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 И введе его в дом свой, и даде место ослятом его: и омыша ноги своя, и ядоша и пиша.
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender to the asses, —and they bathed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 Егда же возвеселися сердце их, и се, мужие градстии сынове беззаконников обыдоша дом биюще в двери, и реша мужу господину дому старцу, глаголюще: изведи мужа иже вниде в дом твой, да познаем его.
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 И изыде к ним муж господин дому и рече: ни, братия, не сотворите зла мужу сему повнегда внити ему в дом мой, и не сотворите безумия сего:
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 се, дщерь моя дева, и подложница его: изведу их, и смирите их, и сотворите им еже благо пред очима вашима: а мужу сему не сотворите словесе безумия сего.
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 И не изволиша мужие послушати его. И взя муж подложницу его и изведе ю к ним вон: и познаша ю и ругашася над нею всю нощь даже до утра, и отпустиша ю, егда взыде денница.
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 И прииде жена к заутрию, и паде у дверий дому, идеже бяше муж ея, до разсветания.
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 И воста муж ея заутра, и отверзе двери дому и изыде поити в путь свой: и се, жена его подложница лежаше при дверех дому, и руце ея на преддверии.
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 И рече к ней: востани, да идем. И не отвеща ему, бяше бо мертва. И возложи ю на осля, и воста муж и пойде на место свое.
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 И прииде в дом свой, и взя нож, и взя подложницу свою, и раздроби ю по удесем ея на дванадесять частей, и посла я во вся племена Израилева.
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 И бысть всяк видящий глаголаше: не бысть, ни видено бе сице от дне изшествия сынов Израилевых от земли Египетския даже до дне сего. И заповеда мужем, ихже посла, глаголя: сице глаголите ко всему Израилю: аще бысть по словеси сему? Уставите сами себе о ней совет и глаголите.
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!
