Hakim-hakim 19
1 Pada waktu Israel belum mempunyai raja, ada seorang Lewi tinggal di pedalaman, di daerah pegunungan Efraim. Ia mengambil seorang wanita dari Betlehem Yehuda menjadi selirnya.
It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a secondary wife from Bethlehem Judah.
2 Tetapi kemudian wanita itu marah kepadanya, sehingga ia kembali ke rumah ayahnya di Betlehem. Setelah wanita itu tinggal di sana empat bulan lamanya,
His secondary wife was angry with him and went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, and was there about four months.
3 orang Lewi itu pergi menyusul dia untuk membujuknya kembali kepadanya. Ia pergi dengan membawa seorang hamba dan dua ekor keledai. Setelah tiba di sana, wanita itu membawa dia kepada ayahnya. Ketika ayah wanita itu melihat dia, ia menyambutnya dengan gembira,
Her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 dan mendesak supaya ia jangan pulang. Karena itu, ia tinggal selama tiga hari dan makan minum serta bermalam di situ bersama selirnya itu.
His father-in-law, the young woman's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.
5 Pada hari keempat, mereka bangun pagi-pagi sekali lalu bersiap-siap untuk berangkat. Tetapi ayah wanita itu berkata kepada orang Lewi itu, "Makan dulu supaya kuat. Kalian bisa berangkat kemudian."
It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh yourself with a piece of bread, and after that you may go."
6 Maka duduklah orang Lewi itu lalu makan dan minum bersama-sama dengan ayah wanita itu. Tetapi ketika ia berdiri hendak berangkat, ayah wanita itu membujuknya supaya jangan pergi. "Bersenang-senanglah dulu," katanya, "dan bermalamlah di sini." Maka tinggallah orang Lewi itu di situ semalam lagi.
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
8 Pada hari kelima, pagi-pagi sekali, ketika ia hendak berangkat, ayah wanita itu berkata lagi, "Ayo, makanlah dulu; sebentar baru berangkat." Maka mereka berdua makan bersama dan berlambat-lambat sampai matahari mulai terbenam.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And the two of them ate and drank.
9 Kemudian, ketika orang Lewi itu bersama selirnya dan hambanya hendak berangkat, ayah itu berkata, "Hari sudah hampir malam, sebentar lagi gelap. Lebih baik menginap saja di sini dan bersenang-senang. Besok kalian boleh bangun pagi-pagi untuk berangkat dan pulang."
When the man rose up with his secondary wife and his servant to leave, his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, now the day draws toward evening, please stay the night. Look, the day grows to an end, stay here, and enjoy yourself; and tomorrow you can get up early for your journey so that you may go home."
10 Tetapi orang Lewi itu tidak mau bermalam lagi di situ. Ia dan selirnya berangkat, bersama-sama dengan hambanya dan kedua keledainya yang berpelana. Ketika hari hampir malam, mereka sampai di dekat Yebus (yaitu Yerusalem). Lalu hamba itu berkata kepada tuannya, "Tuan, marilah kita singgah dan bermalam di kota orang Yebus ini saja."
But the man wouldn't stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and went toward Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a couple of saddled donkeys, and his secondary wife and his servant were with him.
When they were by Jebus, the day was almost gone, and the servant said to his master, "Please come and let us stop at this city of the Jebusites, and spend the night in it."
12 Tetapi tuannya menjawab, "Tidak! Kita tidak akan berhenti di tempat yang penduduknya bukan orang Israel. Mari kita meneruskan perjalanan sedikit lagi dan nanti bermalam di Gibea atau Rama."
His master said to him, "We won't go into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel, but we will pass over to Gibeah."
He said to his servant, "Come and let us try to reach one of those places and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."
14 Karena itu mereka berjalan terus dan tidak berhenti di Yebus. Matahari telah terbenam ketika mereka sampai di Gibea di wilayah suku Benyamin.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun set on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 Mereka singgah di sana untuk bermalam, lalu masuk ke kota dan pergi duduk di alun-alun. Tetapi tak ada seorang pun yang mengundang mereka ke rumahnya untuk bermalam.
They turned that way to go in to spend the night in Gibeah. And he went in and they sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who would take them into their house to spend the night.
16 Sementara mereka duduk di alun-alun kota, datanglah seorang tua yang baru kembali dari pekerjaannya di ladang. Ia sebenarnya berasal dari daerah pegunungan Efraim tetapi sekarang tinggal di Gibea. (Penduduk lainnya di Gibea adalah orang Benyamin.)
Look, there came an old man from his work out in the field at evening. Now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he was residing in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Ketika orang tua itu melihat orang Lewi itu di alun-alun, ia bertanya, "Saudara dari mana, dan mau ke mana?"
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the traveler in the street of the city. And the old man said, "Where are you going, and where did you come from?"
18 Orang Lewi itu menjawab, "Kami baru datang dari Betlehem di Yehuda, dan sedang dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumah di pedalaman di pegunungan Efraim. Saya berasal dari sana. Tidak ada seorang pun dari penduduk kota ini mau menerima kami di rumahnya untuk bermalam.
He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. And I am going to my home, and there is no one who will take me into his home.
19 Kami tidak memerlukan apa-apa yang lain, bekal kami cukup. Ada jerami dan makanan untuk keledai kami; ada roti dan anggur untuk saya bersama istri saya ini dan hamba saya."
Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys, and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your female servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything."
20 Lalu kata orang tua itu, "Jangan khawatir, nanti saya tolong. Tidak usah bermalam di alun-alun ini."
And the old man said, "Peace be to you. I will take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the square."
21 Kemudian ia membawa mereka ke rumahnya lalu memberi makanan kepada keledai-keledai mereka. Dan setelah tamu-tamunya itu mencuci kaki, mereka makan.
So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 Sementara mereka bersenang-senang, tiba-tiba rumah itu dikepung orang-orang bejat dari kota itu. Mereka menggedor-gedor pintu dan berkata kepada orang tua itu, "Serahkan kepada kami orang laki-laki yang kaubawa ke rumahmu. Kami mau pakai dia!"
As they were enjoying themselves, look, the men of the city, some wicked men of the city surrounded the house, beating at the door. And they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may have sex with him."
23 Orang tua itu keluar dan berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan, saudara-saudara! Saya mohon, janganlah melakukan hal yang jahat dan tak patut seperti itu, sebab dia tamu saya.
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, "No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
24 Nanti saya berikan saja selirnya dan anak gadis saya kepada kalian. Bolehlah kalian memuaskan diri dengan mereka. Tapi, janganlah melakukan apa-apa yang jahat terhadap tamu saya itu!"
Look, here is my virgin daughter and his secondary wife. I will bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but do not do any such a disgraceful thing to this man."
25 Tetapi karena orang-orang bejat itu tetap berkeras, maka orang Lewi itu mendorong selirnya itu keluar untuk mereka. Lalu mereka memperkosa wanita itu tanpa henti-hentinya sampai pagi.
But the men wouldn't listen to him: so the man laid hold of his secondary wife, and brought her out to them. And they raped her and abused her all night until the morning, and when the day began to dawn they let her go.
26 Pada waktu subuh wanita itu kembali, tetapi di depan pintu rumah orang tua itu, tempat suaminya menginap, ia pingsan. Setelah matahari terbit ia masih berada di situ.
Then at daybreak the woman arrived and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, until daylight.
27 Pagi itu, ketika suaminya bangun dan membuka pintu untuk berangkat, ia mendapati selirnya tergeletak di depan rumah itu dengan tangannya berpegang pada pintu.
Her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and look, the woman his secondary wife was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 "Bangunlah," katanya kepadanya, "mari kita berangkat." Tetapi wanita itu tidak menjawab karena sudah mati. Lalu, ia mengangkat wanita itu dan menaruhnya di atas keledai, kemudian berangkat untuk pulang ke rumahnya.
And he said to her, "Get up, and let us go." But there was no answer, for she was dead. So he placed her on the donkey, and the man rose up and went to his home.
29 Sampai di rumah, ia masuk dan mengambil pisau kemudian memotong-motong mayat selirnya itu menjadi dua belas potong. Setelah itu, ia mengirim potongan-potongan itu kepada kedua belas suku bangsa Israel, masing-masing satu potong.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his secondary wife and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.
30 Semua orang yang melihat itu berkata, "Belum pernah hal semacam ini terjadi, sejak umat Israel keluar dari Mesir sampai hari ini. Kita tidak boleh tinggal diam. Kita harus berunding untuk bertindak!"
And it was so, that all who saw it said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day." And he commanded the men whom he sent, saying, "This is what you will say to all the men of Israel, 'Has anything like this happened since the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt until this day? Consider it, take counsel, and speak.'"
