Xaakinnada 19
1 Oo waagaas markii aanay reer binu Israa'iil boqor lahayn, waxaa jiray nin reer Laawi ah oo degganaa dhanka shishe oo dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, oo kaasuna addoon buu ka guursaday Beytlaxam Yahuudah.
At that time Israel didn't have a king. A Levite who was living in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim married a concubine-wife from Bethlehem in Judah.
2 Markaasay naagtiisii addoonta ahayd ka dhillowday, oo intay isagii ka tagtay ayay aadday gurigii aabbeheed oo ku yiil Beytlaxam Yahuudah, oo halkaasay joogtay intii afar bilood ah.
But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father's house in Bethlehem. She was there for four months.
3 Markaasuu ninkeedii kacay oo iyadii doonay, inuu si raxmad leh ula hadlo oo soo celiyo; oo wuxuu u tegey iyadii, isagoo wata midiidinkiisii iyo laba dameer. Markaasay isagii soo gelisay gurigii aabbeheed; oo gabadha aabbeheedna markuu isagii arkay ayuu ku farxay inuu la kulmo.
Then her husband went after her, to talk kindly with her and bring her back home. With him went his servant and two donkeys. She took him to her father's house and when her father met him, he gladly welcomed him.
4 Markaasaa soddoggiis oo gabadha aabbeheed ahaa ayaa raajiyey isagii, oo saddex maalmood ayuu la joogay; markaasay wax cuneen oo cabbeen oo halkaasay ku hoydeen.
Her father pressed him to stay with them, so he remained for three days, eating, drinking, and sleeping there.
5 Oo maalintii afraad aroor hore ayay tooseen, oo wuxuuna u kacay inuu tago. Markaasaa gabadha aabbeheed wuxuu ku yidhi wiilkii uu soddogga u ahaa, Bal nafta ugu raaxee wuxoogaa cunto ah, dabadeedna waad tegaysaaye.
On the fourth day he and his concubine got up early in the morning and prepared to leave, but her father said to his son-in-law, “You'll feel better if you have something to eat before you go.”
6 Sidaas daraaddeed way fadhiisteen, oo labadoodiiba wax bay wada cuneen oo cabbeen, markaasaa gabadha aabbeheed wuxuu ninkii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, raalli ahow, caawa oo dhanna iska joog, oo qalbigaaguna ha faraxsanaado.
So the two men sat down to eat and drink together. The father said to his son-in law, “Please agree to spend another night here, and you can enjoy yourself!”
7 Markaasuu ninkii u kacay inuu tago; laakiinse soddoggiis baa ku sii adkeeyey, oo halkaasuu ku hoyday haddana.
The man got up to leave, but his father-in-law pressed him to stay, so in the end he spent the night there.
8 Oo haddana maalintii shanaad ayuu aroor hore u kacay inuu tago; markaasaa gabadha aabbeheed ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye iska raaxayso, oo iska joog ilaa gelinka dambe, oo labadoodiiba wax bay wada cuneen.
On the fifth day he got up early in the morning to leave. But his father-in-law said, “Eat before you go, then leave later this afternoon.” So they had a meal together.
9 Oo markii ninkii u kacay inuu tago, isagii iyo naagtiisii addoonta ahayd, iyo midiidinkiisiiba, ayaa soddoggiis oo ahaa gabadha aabbeheed ku yidhi, Bal eeg haatan qorraxdu waa sii dhacaysaaye, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, bal caawa oo dhanna iska joog; bal eeg haatan waa gabbaldhac, de halkan isaga hoyo, in qalbigaagu iska faraxsanaado; oo haddana berri aroorta hore iska tag oo gurigaagii aad.
When he got up to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law told him, “Look it's late—it's already evening. Spend the night here. The day's almost over. Stay here the night and enjoy yourself, then tomorrow you can get up early and be on your way home.”
10 Laakiinse ninkii ma doonaynin inuu habeenkaas joogo, wuuse kacay oo tegey, oo wuxuu yimid meel ku toosan Yebuus, (taas oo ah Yeruusaalem); oo wuxuu watay laba dameer oo kooraysan, oo naagtiisii addoonta ahaydna way la socotay.
But the man didn't want to spend another night, so he got up and left. He headed towards the town of Jebus (now called Jerusalem) with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
11 Oo markay Yebuus ku soo dhowaadeenna maalintii horay u badatay; markaasaa midiidinkii wuxuu sayidkiisii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, kaalay oo aynu ku leexanno magaaladan reer Yebuus oo aynu u hoyanno.
As they approached Jebus the day was over, the servant said to his master, “Sir, why don't we stop here at this Jebusite town for the night?”
12 Kolkaasaa sayidkiisii ku yidhi, Dad shisheeye ah oo aan reer binu Israa'iil ahayn magaaladiis ku leexan mayno; laakiinse waxaynu u gudbaynaa xagga Gibecaah.
But his master replied, “No, we're not going to stop in this town where only foreigners live and no Israelites. We'll continue on to Gibeah.”
13 Oo wuxuu midiidinkiisii ku yidhi, Kaalay oo aynu ku dhowaanno meelahan middood; oo waxaynu u hoyanaynaa Gibecaah, ama Raamaah.
Then he told his servant, “Come on, let's try and get to Gibeah or Ramah and spend the night somewhere there.”
14 Kolkaasay iska sii socdeen oo jidkoodii qaadeen; oo waxaa qorraxdu ugu dhacday iyagoo ag jooga Gibecaah oo ay reer Benyaamiin lahaayeen.
So they carried on and reached Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin just as the sun was setting.
15 Markaasay halkaas ku leexdeen inay u hoydaan Gibecaah. Kolkaasuu galay, oo wuxuu fadhiistay jidkii magaalada; waayo, ninna gurigiisii ma gelin inay u hoydaan.
They stopped in Gibeah to spend the night, and sat down in the town's main square, but no one invited them to come and stay.
16 Oo fiidkii oday baa shuqulkiisii beerta ka yimid. Haddaba ninku wuxuu ahaa reer Efrayimkii dalka buuraha leh degganaa, oo Gibecaahna qariib buu ku ahaa; laakiinse dadkii meesha degganaa waxay ahaayeen reer Benyaamiin.
But later that evening an old man came by, returning from working in the fields. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, but was now living in Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin.
17 Markaasuu indhihiisii kor u qaaday, oo wuxuu jidkii magaalada ku arkay ninkii socotada ahaa. Markaasaa odaygii yidhi, Xaggee baad u socotaa? Oo xaggee baad ka timid?
He looked over and noticed the traveler in the square and asked, “Where are you going and where have you come from?”
18 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaannu ka gudbaynaa Beytlaxam Yahuudah; oo dhanka shishe oo dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim ayaannu tegaynaa. Anigu xaggaas baan ka imid, oo waxaan tegey Beytlaxam Yahuudah; oo haatan waxaan u socdaa guriga Rabbiga, oo nin gurigiisa i geliyeyna ma jiro.
“We've come from Bethlehem in Judah and we're going to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim,” the man replied. “I'm from there and I went to Bethlehem, and now I'm going to the Lord's Temple. No one here has invited me to stay.
19 Weliba dameerahayaga waa loo hayaa caws iyo cuntoba; oo kibis iyo khamrina waa u diyaar aniga iyo gabadhaada addoonta ah, iyo weliba ninka dhallinyarada ah ee nala socda annagoo addoommadaada ah, haddaba wax loo baahan yahay ma jiraan.
There's straw and food for our donkeys, and we your servants have bread and wine—enough for me, the woman, and my servant. We have all we need.”
20 Oo markaasaa odaygii yidhi, Nabadu ha kula jirto; habase yeeshee waxaad u baahan tahay oo dhammu ha i saarnaadeen; laakiin jidka ha u hoyan.
“You are welcome to stay with me,” the man replied. “I can let you have everything you need. Just don't spend the night here in the square.”
21 Markaasuu gurigiisii geliyey, oo dameerihii cuntuu siiyey; oo iyana intay cago maydheen ayay wax cuneen oo cabbeen.
He took him home and fed the donkeys. The travelers washed their feet and then started to eat and drink.
22 Oo intay farxayeen waxaa yimid raggii magaalada oo niman xunxun ah, oo intay guriga hareereeyeen ayay albaabkii garaaceen, markaasay la hadleen odaygii guriga lahaa, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Noo soo bixi ninkii gurigaaga soo galay, aannu u tagnee.
While they were enjoying themselves, some depraved men from the town came and surrounded the house, and banged on the door, shouting to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to stay in your house so we can have sex with him.”
23 Markaasaa ninkii guriga lahaa dibadda ugu baxay oo ku yidhi, Maya, walaalahayow, waan idin baryayaaye, ha samaynina wax sidaas u shar ah, maxaa yeelay, ninkanu gurigayguu galay ee ha ku samaynina xumaantan.
The man who owned the house went outside and told them, “My brothers, don't act in such an evil way! This man is a guest in my house. Don't do something so disgusting!
24 Bal eega, waxaa jooga gabadhaydii oo bikrad ah iyo naagtiisii addoonta ahayd; haddaba iyagaan idiin soo bixinayaaye, iyaga kufsada oo sidaad doonaysaan ka yeela; laakiinse ninkan ha ku samaynina xumaan caynkan ah.
Look, here's my virgin daughter and the man's concubine. Let me bring them out and you can rape them and do whatever you want to them. But don't do something so disgusting to this man.”
25 Laakiinse raggii ma ay doonaynin inay dhegaystaan, sidaas daraaddeed ninkii wuxuu qabtay naagtiisii addoonta ahayd, dibadduuna ugu soo saaray; kolkaasay iyadii kufsadeen, oo si xun bay u galeen habeenkii oo dhan ilaa subaxdii; oo markii waagu baryayay ayay iska sii daayeen.
But the men refused to listen, so the man grabbed his concubine and threw her outside to them. They raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and only discarded her at dawn.
26 Markaasaa naagtii timid markii waagu soo kaahay, oo waxay ku dhacday albaabkii ninkii gurigiisa oo uu sayidkeedii joogay, ilaa ay iftiin noqotay.
As night turned into day she returned to the house where her master was staying and collapsed in front of the door as it got light.
27 Markaasaa sayidkeedii kacay aroortii, oo albaabbadii guriga furay, oo inuu tago ayuu dibadda ugu soo baxay; oo bal eeg, naagtiisii addoonta ahayd waxay ku dhacday guriga iriddiisa, oo gacmaheeduna waxay saarnaayeen marinka.
Her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house. He went out to continue his journey and there was his concubine, stretched out in the doorway of the house, with her hands holding onto the doorstep.
28 Markaasuu iyadii ku yidhi, Naa bal kac, oo ina keen aan tagnee; laakiinse cidna uma ay jawaabin; markaasuu dameerkiisii saaray, oo meeshiisii u kacay.
“Get up, let's go,” he told her, but there was no answer. Then the man lifted her onto his donkey and went home.
29 Oo markuu gurigiisii galay ayuu mindi qaaday, oo intuu naagtiisii addoonta ahayd qabtay ayuu xubin xubin u kala gooyay, oo wuxuu ka dhigay laba iyo toban cad, oo wuxuu u diray xuduudka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inta ka dhex leh.
When he got home he took a knife, and holding onto his concubine, cut her up, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent these pieces of her to every part of Israel.
30 Oo kulli wax alla wixii arkayba waxay yidhaahdeen, Maalintii ay dalka Masar ka soo baxeen ilaa maantadan la joogo reer binu Israa'iil laguma samayn, lagumana arag, shuqul caynkan ah; haddaba bal ka fiirsada, oo ka tashada, oo ka hadla.
Everyone who saw her said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen before, from the time the Israelites left Egypt up until now. You should think about what happened to her! Decide what to do! Speak up!”
