1It happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
1A taktiež sa stalo v tých dňoch, keď nebolo kráľa v Izraelovi, že bol istý muž, Levita, pohostínom kdesi vzade vrchu Efraimovho, ktorý si vzal ženu ženinu z Betlehema Júdovho.
2His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there the space of four months.
2Ale jeho ženina smilnila dopúšťajúc sa nevernosti proti nemu a odišla od neho do domu svojho otca do Betlehema Júdovho a bola tam nejaký čas, štyri mesiace.
3Her 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 lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
3Potom sa zobral jej muž a išiel za ňou, aby jej hovoril k srdcu nato, aby ju doviedol zpät, a mal so sebou svojho mládenca a dvoch oslov. A doviedla ho do domu svojho otca. A keď ho uvidel otec dievčiny, zaradoval sa a išiel mu vústrety.
4His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, retained him; and he stayed with him three days: so they ate and drink, and lodged there.
4A jeho svokor, otec dievčiny, ho zdržal u seba, takže zostal u neho tri dni, a jedli a pili a nocovali tam.
5It happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young lady’s father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.”
5Ale štvrtého dňa bolo, že vstali skoro ráno, a človek sa zobral, že pojde. Avšak otec dievčiny povedal svojmu zaťovi: Posilni svoje srdce kúskom chleba, a potom pojdete.
6So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together: and the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”
6A tak sadli a jedli spolu obidvaja a pili. A otec dievčiny povedal človekovi: Nože zostaň ešte a prenocuj tu, a nech sa poveselí tvoje srdce.
7The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
7A keď vstal človek, že odíde, nasilu ho zdržal jeho svokor. A tak sa vrátil a zase prenocoval tam.
8He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines”; and they both ate.
8Potom vstal skoro ráno, piateho dňa, že teda pojde. Ale zase len povedal otec dievčiny: Nože posilni, prosím, svoje srdce! A otáľali, až sa nachýlil deň. A jedli obidvaja.
9When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night: behold, the day grows to an end, lodge here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”
9Keď potom vstal človek, že pojde, on i jeho ženina i jeho mládenec, jeho svokor, otec dievčiny, mu povedal: Nože hľa, deň sa už nachýlil k večeru. Prenocujte, prosím. Hľa, deň sa kladie, prenocuj tu, a nech sa poveselí tvoje srdce. Zajtra vstanete skoro ráno a vydáte sa na svoju cestu, a tak pojdeš do svojho stánu.
10But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus (the same is Jerusalem): and there were with him a couple of donkeys saddled; his concubine also was with him.
10Ale človek už nechcel prenocovať, ale vstal a odišiel a prišiel až proti Jebuzovi, to jest proti Jeruzalemu, a s ním dvaja osedlaní osli i jeho ženina s ním.
11When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.”
11A keďže boli u Jebuzeja, a deň sa už bol veľmi nachýlil, povedal mládenec svojmu pánovi: Prosím, poď, zabočme do tohoto mesta Jebuzejovho a prenocujme v ňom.
12His master said to him, “We won’t turn aside into the city of a foreigner, that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
12Ale jeho pán mu povedal: Nezabočíme ta do mesta cudzinca, ktorý nie je zo synov Izraelových, ale pojdeme až do Gibee.
13He said to his servant, “Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
13A povedal svojmu mládencovi: Poď, aby sme sa priblížili niektorému z tých miest a prenocujeme v Gibei alebo v Ráme.
14So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near to Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
14A tak prešli a išli, a slnce im zašlo pri Gibei, ktorá patrí Benjaminovi.
15They turned aside there, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat him down in the street of the city; for there was no man who took them into his house to lodge.
15Uchýlili sa tedy ta, aby vojdúc prenocovali v Gibei. A keď vošiel, zostal na ulici mesta, a nebolo nikoho, kto by ich bol pojal a prijal do domu, aby prenocovali.
16Behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening: now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
16A hľa, nejaký starý človek išiel zo svojej práce s poľa, večer. A človek bol tiež z vrchu Efraimovho a pohostínil v Gibei, ale mužovia toho miesta boli synovia Benjaminovi.
17He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”
17A pozdvihnúc svoje oči videl človeka, toho pocestného, na ulici mesta. A starý človek povedal: Kam ideš a odkiaľ si prišiel?
18He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the house of Yahweh; and there is no man who takes me into his house.
18A povedal mu: Ideme z Betlehema Júdovho až hen celkom za vrch Efraimov; ja som ztadiaľ a bol som zašiel až do Betlehema Júdovho a chodievam do domu Božieho, ale nie je nikoho, kto by ma bol pojal a prijal do domu.
19Yet there is both straw and provender for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your handmaid, and for the young man who is with your servants: there is no want of anything.”
19A jesto predsa aj slama aj obrok pre našich oslov, a mám aj chlieb aj víno pre seba i pre tvoju dievku i pre mládenca, ktorý je s tvojimi služobníkmi; nemáme nedostatku ničoho.
20The old man said, “Peace be to you; howsoever let all your wants lie on me; only don’t lodge in the street.”
20Na to povedal starý človek: Pokoj ti o to! Čohokoľvek by sa ti nedostávalo, to len ponechaj na mňa. Len nenocuj na ulici.
21So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder; and they washed their feet, and ate and drink.
21A dovedúc ho do svojho domu dal oslom obrok, a oni, keď umyli svoje nohy, jedli a pili.
22As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, 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!”
22Ale keď sa už boli rozveselili, tu hľa, mužovia mesta, mužovia, synovia beliála, obkľúčili dom a tĺkli na dvere a vraveli starému človekovi, pánovi domu: Vyveď človeka, ktorý vošiel do tvojho domu, aby sme ho poznali.
23The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly.
23A človek, pán domu, vyjdúc k nim povedal im: Nie, moji bratia, nerobte, prosím, zlého, keďže tento človek vošiel do môjho domu; nevykonajte toho bláznovstva.
24Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don’t do any such folly.”
24Hľa, je tu moja dcéra, panna, a jeho ženina, dovoľte, prosím, aby som vám tie vyviedol, a ponížte ich a urobte im, čo sa vám ľúbi, ale tomuto človekovi nerobte ničoho, nevykonajte toho bláznovstva!
25But the men wouldn’t listen to him: so the man laid hold of his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning: and when the day began to dawn, they let her go.
25Ale mužovia ho nechceli poslúchnuť. Vtedy pochytil človek svoju ženinu a vyviedol ju k nim von. A poznali ju a prevádzali pri nej svoju vôľu celú noc až do rána a pustili ju, až keď už svitalo.
26Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.
26A žena prišla nad ránom a padla a zostala ležať pri dveriach domu človeka, kde bol jej pán, až bolo svetlo.
27Her 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, with her hands on the threshold.
27Keď potom vstal jej pán, ráno, a otvoril dvere na dome a vyšiel, aby išiel svojou cestou, tu hľa, žena, jeho ženina, ležala padlá pri dveriach domu a ruky mala na prahu.
28He said to her, “Get up, and let us be going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
28A vravel jej: Vstaň, a poďme! Ale neodpovedala. Vtedy ju vzal na osla a človek sa zobral a išiel ku svojmu miestu.
29When he had come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
29A keď prišiel do svojho domu, vzal nôž a pochytiac svoju ženinu porezal ju na kusy podľa jej kostí na dvanásť kusov, a rozposlal ju po celom území Izraelovom.
30It was so, that all who 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 it, take counsel, and speak.”
30A bolo, že každý, kto to videl, hovoril: Nikdy sa nič také nestalo, ani nebolo nikdy nič také vidieť od toho dňa, ako vyšli synovia Izraelovi hore z Egyptskej zeme až do tohoto dňa. Zamyslite sa nad tým! Poraďte a hovorte!
