Parallel
Judges 19
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ Λευείτης παροικῶν ἐν μηροῖς ὄρους Ἐφράιμ, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα παλλακὴν ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα.
Now 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.
καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς οἶκον πατρὸς αὐτῆς, εἰς Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα· καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας δ΄ μηνῶν.
But she was unfaithful to him (note: LXX became angry with him) and left him to return to her father’s house in Bethlehem in Judah. After she had been there four months,
καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς τοῦ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτῆς, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν αὐτῷ· καὶ νεανίας αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων. καὶ ἥδε εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον πατρὸς αύτῆς· καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος, καὶ ηὐφράνθη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ.
her 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.
καὶ κατέσχεν αὐτὸν ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος, καὶ ἐκάθισεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον, καὶ ηὐλίσθησαν ἐκεῖ.
His father-in-law, the girl’s father, persuaded him to stay, so he remained with him three days, eating, drinking, and lodging there.
καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ πορευθῆναι· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος πρὸς τὸν νυμφίον αὐτοῦ Στήρισόν σου τὴν καρδίαν ψωμῷ ἄρτου, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο πορεύσεσθε.
On 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.”
καὶ ἐκάθισεν καὶ ἔφαγον οἱ δύο ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἔπιον· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα Ἄγε δὴ αὐλίσθητι, καὶ ἀγαθυνθ·ήσεται ἡ καρδία σου.
So 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.”
καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι· καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάθισεν καὶ ηὐλίσθη ἐκεῖ.
The man got up to depart, but his father-in-law persuaded him, so he stayed there that night.
καὶ ὤρθρισεν τὸ πρωὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τ‘ῆ πέμπτῃ τοῦ πορευθῆναι, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος Στήρισον δὴ τὴν καρδίαν σου, καὶ στράτευσον ἕως κλῖναι τὴν ἡμέραν· καὶ ἔφαγον οἱ δύο.
On 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.
καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ πορευθῆναι, αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ νεανίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος ἰδού δὴ ἡ ἡμέρα εἰς τὴν ἑσπέραν· αὐλίσθητι ὧδε καὶ ἀγαθυνθήἡ καρδία σου, καὶ ὀρθριεῖτε αὔριον εἰς ὁδὸν ὑμῶν καὶ πορεύσῃ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμά σου.
When 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.”
καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησεν ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐλισθῆναι, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν, καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως ἀπέναντι Ἰεβούς, αὕτη ἐστὶν Ἰεβουσαλήμ· καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπισεσαγμένων, καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
But 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.
καὶ ἢλθοσαν ἕως Ἰεβούς· καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα προβεβήκει σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ νεανίας πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ Δεῦρο δὴ καὶ ἐκκλίνωμεν εἰς πόλιν τοῦ Ἰεβουσεὶν ταύτην, καὶ αὐλισθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ.
When 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.”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν εἰς πόλιν ἀλλοτρίαν ἐν ᾗ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὧδε, καὶ παρελευσόμεθα ἕως Γαβαά.
But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites. We will go on to Gibeah.”
καὶ εἶπεν τῷ νεανίᾳ αὐτοῦ Δεῦρο καὶ ἐγγίσωμεν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων, καὶ αὐλισθησόμεθα ἐν Γαβαὰ ἢ ἐν Ῥαμά.
He continued, “Come, let us try to reach one of these towns to spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”
καὶ παρῆλθον καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ ἔδυ ὁ ἤλως αὐτοῖς ἐχόμενα τῆς Γαβαά, ἥ ἐστιν τῷ Βενιαμείν.
So they continued on their journey, and the sun set as they neared Gibeah in Benjamin.
καὶ ἐξέκλιναν ἐκεῖ τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν αὐλισθῆναι εV Γαβαά· καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν τῇ πλατεία τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀνὴρ συνάγων αὐτούς εἰς οἰκίαν αὐλισθῆναι.
They 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.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ πρεσβύτης ἤρχετο ἐξ ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἐν ἑσπέρᾳ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἦν ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφράιμ καὶ αὐτὸς παρῴκει ἐν Γαβαά, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου υἱοὶ Βενιαμείν.
That 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.
καὶ ἦρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν τὸν ὁδοιπόρον ἄνδρα ἐν τῇ πλατείᾳ τῆς πόλεως· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ πρεσβύτης Ποῦ πορεύῃ, καὶ πόθεν ἔρχΣῃ;
When 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?”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Παραπορευόμεθα ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα ἕως μηρῶν ὄρους Ἐφράιμ· ἐκεῖθεν ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἐπορεύθην ἕως Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα, καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ἐγὼ πορεύομαι· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ συνάγων με εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν.
The 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 (note: LXX I am going to my home; see verse 29.); but no one has taken me into his home,
καί γε ἄχυρα καὶ χορτάσματά ἐστιν τοῖς ὄνοις ἡμῶν, καὶ ἄρτοι καὶ οἶνός ἐστιν ἐμοὶ καὶ τῇ παιδίσκῃ καὶ τῷ νεανίσκῳ μετὰ τῶν παιδίων σου· οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστέρημα παντὸς πράγματος.
even 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.”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ πρεσβύτης Εἰρήνη σοι· πλὴν πᾶν ὑστέρημά σου ἐπ’ ἐμέ, πλὴν ἐν τῇ πλατείᾳ οὐ μὴ αὐλισθήσῃ.
“Peace to you,” said the old man. “Let me supply everything you need. Only do not spend the night in the square.”
καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τόπον ἐποίησεν τοῖς ὄνοις· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐνίψαντο τοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον.
So he brought him to his house and fed his donkeys. And they washed their feet and ate and drank.
αὐτοὶ δ’ ἀγαθύνοντες καρδίαν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως υἱοὶ παρανόμων ἐκύκλωσαν τὴν οἰκίαν κρούοντες ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν κύριον τοῦ οἴκου τὸν πρεσβύτην λέγοντες ᾿Εξένεγκε τὸν ἄνδρα ὃς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου, ἵνα γνῶμεν αὐτόν.
While 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!”
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ κύριος τοῦ οἴκου καὶ εἶπεν Μή, ἀδελφοί, μὴ κακοποιήσητε δὴ μετὰ τὸ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ίαν μου· μὴ ποιήσητε τὴν ἀφροσύνην ταύτην.
The 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.
ἴδε ἡ θυγάτηρ μου ἡ παρθένος καὶ ἡ αὐτοῦ· ἐξάξω αὐτάς, καὶ ταπεινώσατε αὐτὰς καὶ αὐταῖς ΤΟ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν· καὶ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τούτῳ οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τῆς ἀφροσύνης ταύτης.
Look, 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.”
καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ εἰσακοῦσαι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐπελάβετο ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς παλλακῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἵξω· καὶ ἥνωσαν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐνέπαιζον ἐν οὐτῇ ὅλην τήν νύκτα ἕως πρωί, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὴν ὡς ἀνέβη τὸ πρωί.
But 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.
καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς τὸν ὄρθρον, καὶ ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ἦν αὐτῆς ἐκεῖ ὁ ἀνήρ, ἕως τοῦ διαφῶσαι.
Early 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.
καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς τὸ πρωὶ κοὶ ἤνοιξεν τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν τοῦ πορευθῆναι τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ πεπτωκυῖα παρὰ τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου, κοὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ πρόθυρον.
In 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.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν Ἀνάστα καὶ ἀπέλθωμεν· καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη, ὅτι ἦν νεκρά. καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
“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.
καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἐκράτησεν τὴν παλλακὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμέλισεν αὐτὴν εἰς δώδεκα μέλη, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὰ ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ Ἰσραήλ.
When 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.
καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶς ὁ βλέπων ἔλεγεν οὐκ ἐγένετο καὶ οὐχ ἑόραται ὡς αὕτη ἀπὸ ἡμέρας ἀναβάσεως υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· θέσθε ὑμῖν αὐτοὶ ἐπ’ αὐτὴν βουλὴν καὶ λαλήσατε. Καὶ ἐξῆλθον πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ,
And 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!”
