WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 En aquellos días, antes que hubiera rey en Israel, hubo un hombre de la tribu de Leví que vivía en la parte más remota de la región montañosa de Efraín, que llevó a su casa a una mujer de Belén de Judá para que fuera su concubina.

1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.

2 Pero ella se enojó con él y huyó, y regresó a la casa de su padre en Belén, donde estuvo unos cuatro meses.

2 His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.

3 El hombre, tomando a un siervo y un burro para ella, fue para ver si podía hacerla regresar. Cuando llegó a la casa, ella lo dejó entrar y se lo presentó a su padre, quien estuvo encantado de conocerlo.

3 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. She brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.

4 El padre le pidió que se quedara un tiempo, y él se quedó tres días, y pasaron momentos agradables.

4 His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.

5 Al cuarto día se levantaron temprano, preparados para partir, pero el padre de la muchacha insistió en que desayunaran primero.

5 On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. 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.”

6 Luego les rogó que se quedaran un día más, puesto que lo estaban pasando bien.

6 So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”

7 Al principio el hombre se negó, pero el padre de la muchacha siguió instándole, hasta que finalmente cedió.

7 The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.

8 A la mañana siguiente, se levantaron temprano nuevamente y una vez más el padre de la mujer dijo: «Quédense solamente hoy día y salgan durante la tarde». Entonces ellos tuvieron otro día de fiesta.

8 He 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.

9 Aquella tarde, mientras él, la muchacha y el siervo se preparaban para partir, el padre de ella dijo: «Miren, se está haciendo tarde. Quédense esta noche y tendremos fiesta, y mañana pueden levantarse temprano y ponerse en marcha».

9 When 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 is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”

10 Pero esta vez el hombre fue firme, y se fue. Llegó hasta Jerusalén (también conocida como Jebús) antes que oscureciera.

10 But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.

11 El siervo le dijo: ―Se está haciendo demasiado tarde para seguir el viaje. Quedémonos aquí esta noche.

11 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”

12 ―No —dijo el amo—. No podemos quedarnos en esta ciudad extraña donde no hay israelitas.

12 His master said to him, “We won’t enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”

13 Seguiremos hasta Guibeá o posiblemente hasta Ramá.

13 He said to his servant, “Come and let’s draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”

14 Siguieron la marcha. El sol se estaba poniendo cuando llegaron a Guibeá, un pueblo de la tribu de Benjamín.

14 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.

15 Allí fueron para pasar la noche. Pero, como nadie les ofreció hospedaje, acamparon en la plaza del pueblo.

15 They went over there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.

16 Pero en eso apareció un anciano que regresaba de su trabajo a su hogar, pues trabajaba en el campo (originalmente era de la región montañosa de Efraín pero vivía en Guibeá, aun cuando era territorio de Benjamín).

16 Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.

17 Cuando vio a los viajeros acampados en la plaza, les preguntó de dónde eran y hacia dónde iban.

17 He 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?”

18 ―Vamos desde Belén de Judá hacia mi casa. Vivo en la región más lejana del monte de Efraín, cerca de Siló. Pero nadie nos ha acogido por esta noche,

18 He 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 Yahweh’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.

19 aun cuando tenemos forraje para nuestros burros y suficiente alimento y vino para nosotros.

19 Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”

20 ―No se preocupen —dijo el anciano—, vengan a mi casa. No deben pasar la noche en la plaza. Es muy peligroso.

20 The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but don’t sleep in the street.”

21 Y dicho y hecho, los llevó a casa consigo, les dio forraje a los burros mientras ellos descansaban, y luego cenaron juntos.

21 So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

22 Estaban comenzando a alegrarse, cuando rodeó la casa una pandilla de pervertidos sexuales y comenzaron a golpear la puerta y a pedir al anciano que sacara al hombre que estaba con él para violarlo.

22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked 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 can have sex with him!”

23 El anciano salió y habló con ellos. ―No, hermanos míos. No hagan tal perversidad —les rogó—, porque es mi huésped.

23 The 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.

24 Tomen a mi hija virgen y a la esposa de este hombre. Yo las sacaré y pueden hacer con ellas lo que quieran, pero no toquen a este hombre.

24 Behold, 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.”

25 Pero no quisieron oírle. Entonces el levita empujó a su mujer hacia afuera, y ellos abusaron de ella toda la noche, violándola por turnos hasta la mañana. Al fin, al amanecer la dejaron ir.

25 But the men wouldn’t listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.

26 Ella se desplomó en la entrada de la casa y quedó allí hasta que aclaró.

26 Then the woman came 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.

27 Cuando el hombre abrió la puerta para seguir su camino, la encontró caída frente a la puerta con las manos agarrando el umbral.

27 Her 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 had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.

28 «Levántate y vamos —le dijo—. Pongámonos en marcha». Pero no recibió respuesta, pues ella estaba muerta. Él la cargó entonces sobre el burro y se fue a su casa.

28 He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.

29 Llegado allí tomó un cuchillo y cortó el cuerpo en doce partes y envió una parte a cada una de las tribus de Israel.

29 When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.

30 «No se había visto un crimen similar desde que Israel salió de Egipto —decían todos—. Tenemos que hacer algo».

30 It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or 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.”
