Mga Hukom 19
1 Sa mga araw na iyon, nang walang hari sa Israel, mayroong isang lalaki, isang Levita, na pansamantalang naninirahan sa pinakamalayong bahagi ng burol na bansa ng Efraim. Kumuha siya ng isang babae para sa kaniyang sarili, isa pang asawa mula sa Bethlehem sa Juda.
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
2 Pero ang isa pa niyang asawa ay taksil sa kaniya; iniwanan siya at bumalik sa bahay ng kaniyang ama sa Bethlehem ng Juda. Nanatili siya roon sa loob ng apat na buwan.
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.
3 Pagkatapos tumayo ang kaniyang asawa at pumunta sa kaniya para hikayatin siyang bumalik. Kasama niya ang kaniyang tagapaglingkod, at isang pares ng mga asno. Dinala niya siya sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.
And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly to her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 Nang nakita siya ng ama ng babae, nagalak siya. Ang kaniyang biyenan, ang ama ng babae, ay hinikayat siyang manatili sa loob ng tatlong araw. Kumain sila at uminom, at nagpalipas sila ng gabi roon.
And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he stayed with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
5 Sa ika-apat na araw maaga silang bumangon at naghanda siya para umalis, pero sinabihan ng ama ng babae ang kaniyang manugang, “Palakasin mo ang iyong sarili sa pamamagitan ng kaunting tinapay, pagkatapos maaari kanang umalis.”
And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said to his son in law, Comfort your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
6 Kaya ang dalawa sa kanila ay umupo para kumain at uminom na magkasama. Pagkatapos sinabi ng ama ng babae, “Pakiusap pumayag na magpalipas ng gabi at magpakasaya.”
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said to the man, Be content, I pray you, and tarry all night, and let your heart be merry.
7 Nang gumising ng maaga ang Levita para umalis, hinimok siya ng ama ng dalagang babae na manatili, kaya binago niya ang kaniyang binalak at muling nagpalipas ng gabi roon.
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
8 Sa ika-limang araw gumising siya ng maaga para umalis, pero sinabi ng ama ng babae, “Palakasin mo ang iyong sarili, maghintay hanggang hapon.” Kaya kumain silang dalawa.
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel’s father said, Comfort your heart, I pray you. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
9 Nang ang Levita at ang kaniyang isa pang asawa at ang kaniyang tagapaglingkod ay bumangon para umalis, ang kaniyang biyenan, ang ama ng babae ay sinabi sa kaniya, “Tingnan, malapit ng gumabi ngayon. Pakiusap manatili kayo ng isa pang gabi, at magpakasaya. Maaari kang gumising nang maaaga bukas at umuwi.”
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said to him, Behold, now the day draws toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day grows to an end, lodge here, that your heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that you may go home.
10 Pero hindi na ninanais ng Levita na magpalipas pa ng gabi. Bumangon siya at umalis. Pumunta siya patungong Jebus (iyon ay Jerusalem). Mayroon siyang isang pares ng mga sasakyang asno —at kasama niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa.
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
11 Nang malapit na sila sa Jebus, malapit nang matapos ang araw, at sinabi ng tagapaglingkod sa kaniyang amo, “Halina, lumihis tayo patungo sa lungsod ng Jebuseo at magpalipas ng gabi roon.”
And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, I pray you, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
12 Sinabi ng kaniyang amo sa kaniya, “Hindi tayo lilihis patungo sa isang lugnsod ng mga dayuhan na hindi kabilang sa bayan ng Israel. Pupunta tayo sa Gabaa.”
And his master said to him, We will not turn aside here into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
13 Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniyang binata, “Halina, pumunta tayo sa isa sa mga ibang lugar na iyon, at magpalipas ng gabi sa Gabaa o Rama.”
And he said to his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
14 Kaya nagpatuloy sila, at lumubog ang araw habang papalapit sila sa Gabaa, sa nasasakupan ng Benjamin.
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them when they were by Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 Lumihis sila roon para magpalipas ng gabi sa Gabaa. At pumasok siya at umupo sa plasa ng lungsod, sapagka't walang isa mang nagpatuloy sa kanila sa kaniyang bahay para sa gabi.
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
16 Pero pagkatapos dumating ang isang matandang lalaki mula sa kaniyang trabaho sa bukid ng gabing iyon. Siya ay mula sa burol na bansa ng Efraim, at panandalian siyang nakatira sa Gabaa. Pero ang mga kalalakihang naninirahan sa lugar na iyon ay mga Benjamita.
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Tumingin siya at nakita ang manlalakbay sa plasa ng lungsod. Sinabi ng matandang lalaki, “Saan ka pupunta? Saan ka nanggaling?”
And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Where go you? and from where come you?
18 Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniya, “Kami ay naglalakbay mula sa Bethlehem sa Juda patungo sa pinakamalayong bahagi ng burol na bansa ng Efraim, na kung saan ako nagmula. Pumunta ako sa Bethlehem sa Juda, at papunta ako sa bahay ni Yahweh, pero wala ni isang magdadala sa akin sa kaniyang bahay.
And he said to him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from there am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receives me to house.
19 Mayroon kaming dayami at pakain para sa aming mga asno, at mayroong tinapay at alak para sa akin at sa iyong babaeng lingkod dito, at para sa binatang ito na kasama ng iyong mga lingkod. Wala kaming kakulangan.”
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your handmaid, and for the young man which is with your servants: there is no want of any thing.
20 Binati sila ng matandang lalaki, “Sumainyo ang kapayapaan! Ako ang bahala sa lahat ng inyong mga pangangailangan. Huwag lamang magpalipas ng gabi sa plasa.”
And the old man said, Peace be with you; howsoever let all your wants lie on me; only lodge not in the street.
21 Kaya dinala ng lalaki ang Levita sa kaniyang bahay at nagbigay ng pakain para sa mga asno. Hinugasan nila ang kanilang mga paa at kumain at uminom.
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender to the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
22 Nagsasaya sila, nang ang mga kalalakihan sa lungsod, masasamang lalaki, ay pinalibutan ang bahay, hinahampas ang pinto. Nakipag-usap sila sa matandang lalaki, ang amo ng bahay, at sinabing, “Palabasin ang lalaking dumating sa iyong bahay, para makilala namin siya.”
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into your house, that we may know him.
23 Ang lalaki, ang amo ng bahay, lumabas at sinabi sa kanila, “Huwag, mga kapatid ko, pakiusap huwag gawin ang masamang bagay na ito! Sapagka't bisita sa aking bahay ang lalaking ito, huwag gawin ang masamang bagay na ito!
And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brothers, no, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly.
24 Tingnan ninyo, narito ang aking birheng anak na babae at ang isa pang asawa. Hayaang ilabas ko sila ngayon. Lapastanganin sila at gawin sa kanila ang anumang nais ninyo. Pero huwag gumawa ng masamang bagay sa lalaking ito!”
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble you them, and do with them what seems good to you: but to this man do not so vile a thing.
25 Pero ayaw makinig sa kaniya ng mga kalalakihan, kaya kinuha ng lalaki ang kaniyang isa pang asawa at inilabas siya sa kanila. Kinuha siya nila, ginahasa siya, at inabuso siya nang buong magdamag, at hinayaan nila siyang umalis ng madaling araw.
But the men would not listen to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
26 Sa madaling araw dumating ang babae at bumagsak sa pinto ng bahay ng lalaki kung saan naroon ang kaniyang amo, at nahiga siya roon hanggang sa magliwanag.
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.
27 Bumangon ang kaniyang amo sa umaga at binuksan ang mga pinto ng bahay at umalis papunta sa kainyang paroroonan. Nakikita niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa na nakahiga roon sa pintuan, na ang mga kamay ay nasa bungad.
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.
28 Sinabi ng Levita sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka. Umalis na tayo.” Pero walang sagot. Isinakay niya siya sa asno at umalis ang lalaki para umuwi.
And he said to her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up on an ass, and the man rose up, and got him to his place.
29 Nang makarating ang Levita sa kaniyang bahay, kumuha siya ng isang kutsilyo, at hinawakan niya ang kaniyang isa pang asawa, at pinagputul-putol siya, biyas sa biyas, sa labing dalawang piraso, at pinadala ang mga piraso sa lahat ng dako ng Israel.
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
30 Sinabi ng lahat ng nakakita nito, “Hindi pa nangyari ang bagay o nakita mula sa araw na lumabas ang mga tao ng Israel mula sa lupain ng Ehipto hanggang sa araw na ito. Isipin ang bagay na ito! Bigyan kami ng payo! Sabihin sa amin kung ano ang gagawin!”
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
