1In len ingo, ke soenna oasr tokosra lun mwet Israel, oasr sie mwet Levi su muta infulan eol in acn Ephraim. El eis sie mutan fusr Bethlehem in acn Judah tuh elan mutan kulansap se kial.
1Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a Levite who lived in the remote hill country of Ephraim took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
2Tusruktu tok mutan sac el kosro nu saya, pwanang el folokla nu in lohm sin papa tumal ah in acn Bethlehem, ac muta we malem akosr.
2But she was unfaithful to him and left him to return to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah. After she had been there four months,
3Na mukul sac nunkauk in ukwalla ac srike in folokunulla nu yorol. Ke ma inge el us mukul kulansap se lal ac donkey lukwa welul. Ke mutan fusr sac liyalak el pwanulak nu in lohm sin papa tumal, na ke papa sac liyal el arulana engan in paingul.
3her husband got up and went after her to speak kindly to her and bring her back, taking his servant and a pair of donkeys. So the girl brought him into her father’s house, and when her father saw him, he gladly welcomed him.
4Papa sac el kwafe tuh mukul Levi sac in mutana, na el muta len tolu we, mongo, nim ac motul.
4His father-in-law, the girl’s father, persuaded him to stay, so he remained with him three days, eating, drinking, and lodging there.
5Ke lututang se akakosr, eltal toang na ngutalik ac akola in som. Na papa tumun mutan sac fahk nu sin mwet Levi sac, “Mongoi meet, kom fah som.”
5On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning and prepared to depart, but the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and then you can go.”
6Na mukul luo ah tukeni muta mongo ac nim. Ac papa tumun mutan sac fahk, “Sifilpa motulla lohm uh ofong tuh kom in mongla wo.”
6So they sat down and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the girl’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay overnight and let your heart be merry.”
7Mwet Levi sac el tuyak in som, tuh papa sac el sifil kwafe elan muta, na el tari na motulla we ke fong sac.
7The man got up to depart, but his father-in-law persuaded him, so he stayed there that night.
8Toang na ke len se aklimekosr, el sifilpa mukui, na papa tumun mutan sac fahk, “Mongoiwin. Soano nu ke tafun len tok.” Ouinge mukul luo ah sifil tukeni mongoi.
8On the fifth day, he got up early in the morning to depart, but the girl’s father said, “Please refresh your heart.” So they waited until late afternoon and the two of them ate.
9Ke mukul sac ac mutan kulansap se kial, ac mwet kulansap se pac lal, eltal sifil mukuiyak in som, na papa sac el fahk, “Liye, akuranna ekela. Wona kom in tari motulla pac ofong. Ac lohsrani pa inge. Mutawin pwar inge. Lutu kom fah toang na tukakek ac som nu yen sum an.”
9When the man got up to depart with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look, the day is drawing to a close. Please spend the night. See, the day is almost over. Spend the night here, that your heart may be merry. Then you can get up early tomorrow for your journey home.”
10Tuh mukul sac tia lungse sifilpa motulla, na el ac mutan kulansap kial, wi mukul kulansap sac ac donkey lukwa ma oasr mwe muta fac, elos tuyak som.
10But the man was unwilling to spend the night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two saddled donkeys and his concubine.
11Tafun len tok elos sun acn Jebus (Jerusalem). Na mukul kulansap sac fahk nu sin mwet Levi sac, “Efu kut tia kuhfwak motulla in siti se inge?”
11When they were near Jebus and the day was almost gone, the servant said to his master, “Please, let us stop at this Jebusite city and spend the night here.”
12Tusruktu mwet kacto lal ah fahk, “Kut ac tia muta ke kutena siti ma mwet we tia mwet Israel, a kut ac fahsrna in sun acn Gibeah.”
12But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites. We will go on to Gibeah.”
13Na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Fahsru, kut ac srike in sun sie sin siti inge, Gibeah ku Ramah, ac motulla we.”
13He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
14Ouinge elos fahsr alukela acn Jebus. Elos sun acn Gibeah in acn lun sruf lal Benjamin ke ekela ah.
14So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.
15Elos kuhfla liki inkanek ah elos in som ac muta we ke fong sac. Elos utyak nu in siti sac ac muta ke acn in toeni lun mwet uh, tusruktu wanginna mwet solalos nu in lohm selos ah.
15They stopped to go in and lodge in Gibeah. The Levite went in and sat down in the city square, but no one would take them into his home for the night.
16Ke elos srakna muta insac, oasr sie mwet matu foloko liki orekma lal in ima lal. Mwet se inge el mwet fineol in acn Ephraim, tusruk el tuku ac oakwuki in acn Gibeah. Inkaiyen mwet in acn se inge ma in sruf lal Benjamin.
16That evening an old man from the hill country of Ephraim, who was residing in Gibeah (the men of that place were Benjamites), came in from his work in the field.
17Ke mwet matu sac akilen lah elos mwet fahsr nu in acn sac, el siyuk selos, “Kowos tuku ya me, ac kowos ac som nu ya?”
17When he looked up and saw the traveler in the city square, the old man asked, “Where are you going, and where have you come from?”
18Na mwet Levi sac fahk, “Kut muta Bethlehem in acn Judah, ac inge kut fahsr in folokla nu acn sesr, su oan fineol in acn Ephraim. Tuh pa wangin mwet lohma nu sesr.
18The Levite replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and now I am going to the house of the LORD; but no one has taken me into his home,
19Kut utuk mwe mongo ac mah pao nun kosro natusr, oayapa bread ac wain fal nu sik mutan kulansap kiuk ac mukul kulansap luk. Oasr yorosr ma nukewa kut enenu.”
19even though there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and bread and wine for me and the maidservant and young man with me. There is nothing that we, your servants, lack.”
20Na mwet matu sac fahk, “Kowos ku in mongla in lohm sik ah! Nga ku in karingin kowos; ac kowos tia enenu in motul likinum uh ke nien toeni lun siti uh.”
20“Peace to you,” said the old man. “Let me supply everything you need. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
21Ouinge el pwanulosla nu lohm sel, ac el kiteya kosro natulos. Elos ohlla nialos ac mongo yorol.
21So he brought him to his house and fed his donkeys. And they washed their feet and ate and drank.
22Ke elos srakna muta aengani yorol, na un mukul koluk se in siti sac elos tuku raunela lohm sac, ac puok srungul in lohm ah. Elos fahk nu sin mukul matu se ma se lohm sac, “Sap mukul se ma wi kom utyak nu lohm an in ilme! Kut lungse orek ma koluk nu sel!”
22While they were enjoying themselves, suddenly the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they said to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house, so we can have relations with him!”
23Tusruktu mwet matu sac el illa nu yorolos ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet lili luk, mo! Nunak munas, nimet kowos nunku in oru kain ouiya koluk ingan! Mwet se inge el mutwata yuruk — nga pa solal nu in lohm sik uh.
23The owner of the house went out and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! After all, this man is a guest in my house. Do not commit this outrage.
24Liye, tulik mutan virgin se nutik pa inge, oayapa mutan kulansap se kien mukul sac pa inge. Nga ac usaltalu, ac komtal ku in oru ma na komtal lungse oru nu seltal, tusruk nimet oru kain ouiya koluk ingan nu sin mukul se inge!”
24Look, let me bring out my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine, and you can use them and do with them as you wish. But do not do such a vile thing to this man.”
25El ne fahk ouinge, tuh mukul ekasr ah tia lungse lohngol. Ouinge mwet Levi sac sruokya mutan kulansap se kial ah, ac sinukunulla nu likinuma nu yoroltal. Elos sruinkuilya ac akkolukyal fong nufon sac nwe ke lenelik.
25But the men would not listen to him. So the Levite took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
26Toang na ke lutu sac, mutan sac tuku nu lohm sin mwet matu sac, yen mukul tumal ah muta we ah, na el topla ke mutunoa. El oan insac nwe ke lenelik.
26Early that morning, the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, collapsed at the doorway, and lay there until it was light.
27Ke mukul tumal ah tukakek ke lutu sac, el ikasla srungul ah elan som inkanek lal ah, na el liyauk tuh na mutan kulansap kial ah topla oan insac ac paol saplakang nu ke srungul in lohm sac.
27In the morning, when her master got up and opened the doors of the house to go out on his journey, there was his concubine, collapsed in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28Na mukul sac fahk, “Tukakek, kut som.” Tuh el tiana topkol. Na mukul sac sraklalak ac fililya fin donkey natul ah, ac folokla nu in acn sel ah.
28“Get up,” he told her. “Let us go.” But there was no response. So the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.
29Ke el sun acn we el utyak nu in lohm ah, ac eis mitmit se. Na el us monin mutan kulansap se kial, ac sipikya nu ke ip singoul luo, ac supwalik kais sie ip nu sin kais sie sruf lun mwet Israel.
29When he reached his house, he picked up a knife, took hold of his concubine, cut her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel.
30Mwet nukewa su liye ma sac elos fahk, “Kut soenna lohng ke kain ouiya se inge oemeet me! Wangin kain lumah inge nu orek oe ke mwet Israel elos illa liki acn Egypt! Enenu na in oasr ma kut oru kac, tuh mea kut ac oru uh?”
30And everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has been seen or done from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt until this day. Think it over, take counsel, and speak up!”
