Mui 34

1 Eso afaega, Daina (Ya: igobe amola Lia ela mano) da Ga: ina: ne uda amo ba: musa: sofe asi.

And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country.

2 Siegeme (Haifaide dunu ea dio Ha: imo, amo ea mano) da amo sogega ouligisu dunu esalu. E da Daina ba: beba: le, gasawane doaga: le wadela: lesi dagoi.

And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin.

3 Be e da Daina hahawane bagade magesa: i ba: i. E da ema bagade magesa: i, amola Daina da ema bu asigimu e da hanai galu.

And his soul was fast knit unto her, and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words.

4 E da ea ada Ha: imo ema amane sia: i, “Na da agoane hanai. Amo a: fini na da dafawane lamu hanai gala. Amo logo di hahamoma.”

And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife.

5 Ya: igobe da idiwi gogosia: ma: ne wadela: lesi dagoi, amo nabi dagoi. Be egefelali da sogega sibi ouligisa esalebeba: le, e da ili bu misunu ouesalu.

But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back.

6 Siegeme eda Ha: imo da Ya: igobema sia: sa: imusa: misi.

And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob,

7 Sia: nanoba, Ya: igobe egefelali da misini doaga: i. Siegeme da wadela: i hou amoga ilima gogosiasu i, amola Ya: igobe ea uda mano wadela: lesi, amo nababeba: le, ilia da mi hanai galu.

Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob’s daughter,

8 Ha: imo da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Na mano Siegeme da didiwima bagade magesa: i. E amo lama: ne, logo hamoma.

And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife:

9 Ninia gousa: su hamomu da defea. Amoga ninia fi amola dia fi hahawane uda lasu hou hamomu da defea.

And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters and take you our daughters,

10 Amasea, dilia da ninia soge ganodini esalumu da defea. Dilia da dili hanaiga fima, bidi lama, amola soge lama.”

And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess it.

11 Amalalu, Siegeme da Daina eda amola yolalali ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da nama amo hahawane hamosea, na da dilima liligi dilia hanaiga imunu.

Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight: and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give.

12 Dilia lamu hanai, amo nama adoma. Bidi bagade dilia hanaiga defei ilegema. Na da amo a: fini lama: ne dilia da sia: sea, na da dilima dili hanai defele imunu.”

Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife.

13 Siegeme da ilia dalusi Daina amo wadela: lesiba: le, Ya: igobe egefe ilia da Siegeme amola ea ada Ha: imo elama hohonomusa: dawa: le, amane bu adole i.

The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister:

14 Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia dalusi amo gadofo hame damui dunu amoga lamu da hamedei. Amo da ninima gogosiasu liligi.

We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.

15 Be dia fi dunu huluane da ilia gadofo damusia, amo hamobeba: le fawane ninia dalusi lamu defele ba: mu.

But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:

16 Amasea, ninia fi amola dia fi uda lasu hou hamomu. Ninia dilia gilisisu amo ganodini fimu, amalalu ninia amola dilia da fi afadafa hamomu.

Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:

17 Be dili amo higasea, amola gadofo damusu hame lalegagusia, defea, ninia da ninia dalusi lale, fisili masunu.”

But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart:

18 Amo hou Ha: imo amola egefe Siegeme da hahawane ba: i.

Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem his son:

19 Amo ayeligi da Ya: igobe idiwi ema bagade asigiba: le hedolowane amo hou hamomusa: dawa: i galu. Siegeme da ea fi amo ganodini bisili mimogo dunu esalu.

And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father’s house.

20 Ha: imo amola ea mano Siegeme da diasu holei fofada: su gilisisu sogebi asili, ilia fi dunuma amane sia: i,

And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:

21 “Amo dunu ilia da ninima asigisa. Ilia da nini soge ganodini udigili esalumu da defea. Ninia soge da bagade amola ili amola nini gilisili esalumu defele ba: sa. Ninia ilia uda mano lamu, amola ilia da ninia uda mano lamu da defea.

These men are peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.

22 Be ilia da gadofo damuiba: le, ninia dunu huluane da gadofo damusia fawane ilia da ninima gilisimu.

One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.

23 Ilia da ninima gilisisia, ilia lai gebo fi amola ilia liligi huluane da ninia liligi dialumu. Amaiba: le, ilia da ninima gilisimusa: , ninia sia: mu da defea.”

And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.

24 Moilai bai bagade dunu huluane da Ha: imo amola Siegeme ela sia: da defea dawa: i. Amalalu, dunu huluane ilia gadofo damui dagoi.

And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.

25 Eso udiana aligili, Siegeme dunu huluane da gadofo damuiba: le se nabaloba, Ya: igobe egefe aduna amo Simione amola Lifai (Daina yolala), ela da gegesu gobihei bagade gaguli, wamowane moilai ganodini asili, Siegeme dunu huluane fane legei dagoi.

And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:

26 Ela da Ha: imo amola Siegeme fane legei. Amalalu, ela da Daina amo Siegeme ea diasuga fadegale, hiouginana asi.

And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem’s house.

27 Dunu huluane fane legelalu, Ya: igobe egefelali eno da ilia dalusi wadela: lesi dabe lama: ne, moilai liligi huluane sasamogene lai dagoi.

And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape.

28 Ilia da sibi amola goudi, bulamagau, dougi, liligi amo soge amola diasu ganodini dialu, amo huluane sasamogene lai dagoi.

And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields.

29 Ilia da noga: i liligi huluane, uda amola mano huluane gagulaligili asi.

And their children and wives they took captive,

30 Ya: igobe da Simione amola Lifai elama amane sia: i, “Alia houba: le, na da se nabi dagoi. Wali Ga: ina: ne dunu, Belesaide dunu amola dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala da nama bagade higamu. Na dunu da bagahame gala. Ilia da huluane gilisili nama doagala: sea, na fi huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu.”

And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land: we are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house, shall be destroyed.

31 Be ilia da bu adole i, “Ilia da ninia dalusi udigili wadela: i aheda: i uda defele hamomu da ninima hamedei.”

They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet?
