Judges 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 At that time, when there was no king in Israel, there was a Levite residing in remote parts of the mountain region of Ephraim who had taken for himself a concubine from Bethlehem of Judah.	1 U ono vrijeme kad u Izraelu još ne bijaše kralja, živio neki čovjek, levit, kao došljak na kraju Efrajimove gore. Uzeo on za inoču ženu iz Judina Betlehema.
2 His concubine was unfaithful to him and left him for her father's house in Bethlehem of Judah, where she stayed for some four months.	2 Rasrdivši se jednom, njegova ga inoča ostavi i vrati se u očevu kuću u Judin Betlehem i bila je ondje neko vrijeme, kakva četiri mjeseca.
3 Her husband then set out with his servant and a pair of asses, and went after her to forgive her and take her back. She brought him into her father's house, and on seeing him, the girl's father joyfully made him welcome.	3 Njen muž ode k njoj da je urazumi i dovede natrag; imao je sa sobom slugu i dva magarca. Dok je prilazio kući oca mlade žene, opazi ga tast i veselo mu iziđe ususret.
4 He was detained by the girl's father, and so he spent three days with this father-in-law of his, eating and drinking and passing the night there.	4 Tast, otac mlade žene, zadrži ga tri dana kod sebe te su jeli, pili i noćivali.
5 On the fourth day they rose early in the morning and he prepared to go. But the girl's father said to his son-in-law, "Fortify yourself with a little food; you can go later on."	5 Četvrtoga dana uraniše; levit se spremao da ide, kad otac mlade žene reče zetu: »Okrijepi se zalogajem kruha, pa onda idite.«
6 So they stayed and the two men ate and drank together. Then the girl's father said to the husband, "Why not decide to spend the night here and enjoy yourself?"	6 I tako sjedoše te su obojica jela i pila, a onda otac mlade žene reče čovjeku: »Hajde, ostani još noćas i proveseli se!«
7 The man still made a move to go, but when his father-in-law pressed him he went back and spent the night there.	7 A kad čovjek ustade da pođe, tast uze navaljivati na njega te on još jednom ondje prenoći.
8 On the fifth morning he rose early to depart, but the girl's father said, "Fortify yourself and tarry until the afternoon." When he and his father-in-law had eaten,	8 Petoga dana levit urani da krene, ali mu otac mlade žene reče: »Okrijepi se najprije!« Tako su proveli vrijeme jedući zajedno dok se nije nagnuo dan.
9 and the husband was ready to go with his concubine and servant, the girl's father said to him, "It is already growing dusk. Stay for the night. See, the day is coming to an end. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself. Early tomorrow you can start your journey home."	9 Muž ustade da ide, s inočom i slugom, kad mu tast, otac mlade žene, reče: »Evo se dan nagnuo k večeri. Prenoći još ovdje i proveseli se, pa sutra uranite na put i vratite se svom šatoru.«
10 The man, however, refused to stay another night; he and his concubine set out with a pair of saddled asses, and traveled till they came opposite Jebus, which is Jerusalem.	10 Ali čovjek ne htjede prenoćiti, nego ustade i krenu. Tako je došao do pred Jebus, to jest Jeruzalem. S njim su bila dva osamarena magarca, inoča i sluga.
11 Since they were near Jebus with the day far gone, the servant said to his master, "Come, let us turn off to this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it."	11 Gibee Kad su bili blizu Jeruzalema, dan se već jako nagnuo, pa sluga reče svome gospodaru: »Hajde da se svratimo u taj jebusejski grad da tu prenoćimo.«
12 But his master said to him, "We will not turn off to a city of foreigners, who are not Israelites, but will go on to Gibeah.	12 Ali mu gospodar odgovori: »Nećemo se svraćati u grad tuđinaca koji nisu Izraelci, nego ćemo ići do Gibee.«
13 Come," he said to his servant, "let us make for some other place, either Gibeah or Ramah, to spend the night."	13 Još reče sluzi: »Hajde, požurimo se da stignemo u koje od tih mjesta gdje ćemo prenoćiti, u Gibeu ili Ramu.«
14 So they continued on their way till the sun set on them when they were abreast of Gibeah of Benjamin.	14 I prođoše, nastavljajući put. Kad su stigli pred Benjaminovu Gibeu, sunce je zapadalo.
15 There they turned off to enter Gibeah for the night. The man waited in the public square of the city he had entered, but no one offered them the shelter of his home for the night.	15 Oni skrenuše onamo da prenoće u Gibei. Ušavši, levit sjede na gradskom trgu, ali ne bijaše nikoga da ih primi u kuću da prenoće.
16 In the evening, however, an old man came from his work in the field; he was from the mountain region of Ephraim, though he lived among the Benjaminite townspeople of Gibeah.	16 I dođe neki starac koji se predvečer vraćao s posla u polju. Bijaše to čovjek iz Efrajimove gore; življaše u Gibei kao došljak, a svi žitelji toga mjesta bijahu Benjaminovci.
17 When he noticed the traveler in the public square of the city, the old man asked where he was going, and whence he had come.	17 Podigavši oči, ugleda putnika na gradskom trgu: »Odakle dolaziš i kamo ćeš?« – upita ga starac.
18 He said to him, "We are traveling from Bethlehem of Judah far up into the mountain region of Ephraim, where I belong. I have been to Bethlehem of Judah and am now going back home; but no one has offered us the shelter of his house.	18 A on mu odgovori: »Idemo od Judina Betlehema, na kraj Efrajimove gore. Ja sam odande. Išao sam u Judin Betlehem i vraćam se kući, ali nema nikoga da me primi k sebi u kuću.
19 We have straw and fodder for our asses, and bread and wine for the woman and myself and for our servant; there is nothing else we need."	19 Imam i slame i krme za svoje magarce, a i kruha i vina za sebe, za svoju ženu i za momka koji prati mene, tvoga slugu. Imamo svega dosta.«
20 "You are welcome," the old man said to him, "but let me provide for all your needs, and do not spend the night in the public square."	20 »Mir s tobom i dobro mi došao«, odgovori starac. »Moja je briga što ti je potrebno, samo nemoj noćiti na trgu.«
21 So he led them to his house and provided fodder for the asses. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.	21 I uvede ga u svoju kuću i baci krme magarcima. Putnici su oprali noge, a onda jeli i pili.
22 While they were enjoying themselves, the men of the city, who were corrupt, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They said to the old man whose house it was, "Bring out your guest, that we may abuse him."	22 Dok su se oni krijepili, gle, neki građani, opaki ljudi, okružiše kuću i, lupajući svom snagom o vrata, rekoše starcu, gospodaru kuće: »Izvedi toga čovjeka što je ušao u tvoju kuću da ga se namilujemo.«
23 The owner of the house went out to them and said, "No, my brothers; do not be so wicked. Since this man is my guest, do not commit this crime.	23 Tad iziđe domaćin iz kuće i reče im: »Ne, braćo moja, ne činite zla. Taj je čovjek ušao u moju kuću, zato ne činite bezakonja.
24 Rather let me bring out my maiden daughter or his concubine. Ravish them, or do whatever you want with them; but against the man you must not commit this wanton crime."	24 Evo, moja je kći djevica, prepustit ću vam je. Činite od nje što vam drago, ali ovom čovjeku ne činite bezakonja.«
25 When the men would not listen to his host, the husband seized his concubine and thrust her outside to them. They had relations with her and abused her all night until the following dawn, when they let her go.	25 Ljudi ga ne htjedoše poslušati. Tad onaj čovjek uze inoču te im je izvede. Oni su je silovali i zlostavljali svu noć do jutra, a kad je zora zabijeljela, pustiše je.
26 Then at daybreak the woman came and collapsed at the entrance of the house in which her husband was a guest, where she lay until the morning.	26 Pred zoru žena dođe i pade na ulaz kuće onog čovjeka gdje je bio njen gospodar i ležala je ondje dok se nije razdanilo.
27 When her husband rose that day and opened the door of the house to start out again on his journey, there lay the woman, his concubine, at the entrance of the house with her hands on the threshold.	27 Njen je gospodar ujutro ustao, otvorio kućna vrata te izišao da nastavi put, kad spazi ženu, svoju inoču, kako leži na kućnim vratima s rukama na pragu.
28 He said to her, "Come, let us go"; but there was no answer. So the man placed her on an ass and started out again for home.	28 »Ustani, idemo!« – reče joj. Ali ne bijaše odgovora. Onda je uze, natovari na magarca i krenu na put da se vrati kući.
29 On reaching home, he took a knife to the body of his concubine, cut her into twelve pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel.	29 Kada je došao kući, trže nož i uze mrtvo tijelo inočino, rasiječe ga, ud po ud, na dvanaest dijelova te ih razasla u sve krajeve Izraela.
30 Everyone who saw this said, "Nothing like this has been done or seen from the day the Israelites came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Take note of it, and state what you propose to do."	30 I tko god vidje reče: »Ovakvo što se nije dogodilo od dana kada su Izraelci izašli iz Egipta do današnjeg dana. Valja o tome promisliti, vijećati i govoriti.«
