At which his father-in-law again spoke (cui rursum locutus est socer): examine (considera) that the day is descending (quod dies…declivior sit) to fall/death (ad occasum), and it draws near to evening (et propinquet ad vesperum). Remain near to me also today (mane apud me etiam hodie), and prolong (et duc) the day of cheerfulness (laetum diem), and tomorrow you may depart (et cras proficisceris) that you may go into your house (ut vadas in domum tuam).

cui respondit dominus non ingrediar oppidum gentis alienae quae non est de filiis Israhel sed transibo usque Gabaa
At which, the master responded (cui respondit dominus), I will not advance (non ingrediar) into the town of an alien tribe/nation (oppidum gentis alienae) which is not of the sons of Israel (quae non est de filiis Israhel), but I will cross all the way to Gabaa (sed transibo usque Gabaa).
et cum illuc pervenero manebimus in ea aut certe in urbe Rama
And when I will arrive there (et cum illuc pervenero), we will remain in it (manebimus in ea), or, surely, in the City of Rama (aut certe in urbe Rama).
transierunt igitur Iebus et coeptum carpebant iter occubuitque eis sol iuxta Gabaa quae est in tribu Beniamin

et ecce apparuit homo senex revertens de agro et de opere suo vespere qui et ipse erat de monte Ephraim et peregrinus habitabat in Gabaa homines autem regionis illius erant filii Iemini
And behold (et ecce), an old man appeared (apparuit homo senex), returning from the field and from his work in the evening (revertens de agro et de opere suo vespere qui—no idea what qui would do here, but it makes NO sense after this…) and he himself was of Mount Ephraim (et ipse erat de monte Ephraim), and he lived as a stranger (et peregrinus habitabat) in Gabaa (in Gabaa). The men, however, of that region were the sond of Jemini (hominess autem regionis illius erant filii Iemini).
