Mui 34
1 Eso afaega, Daina (Ya: igobe amola Lia ela mano) da Ga: ina: ne uda amo ba: musa: sofe asi.
One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
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.
Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
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.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
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.”
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my 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.
Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
6 Siegeme eda Ha: imo da Ya: igobema sia: sa: imusa: misi.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with 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.
While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should be done!”
8 Ha: imo da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Na mano Siegeme da didiwima bagade magesa: i. E amo lama: ne, logo hamoma.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Ninia gousa: su hamomu da defea. Amoga ninia fi amola dia fi hahawane uda lasu hou hamomu da defea.
Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
10 Amasea, dilia da ninia soge ganodini esalumu da defea. Dilia da dili hanaiga fima, bidi lama, amola soge lama.”
You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy 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.
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
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.”
Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my 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.
But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
14 Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Ninia dalusi amo gadofo hame damui dunu amoga lamu da hamedei. Amo da ninima gogosiasu liligi.
by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
15 Be dia fi dunu huluane da ilia gadofo damusia, amo hamobeba: le fawane ninia dalusi lamu defele ba: mu.
We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
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 we will give our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
17 Be dili amo higasea, amola gadofo damusu hame lalegagusia, defea, ninia da ninia dalusi lale, fisili masunu.”
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Amo hou Ha: imo amola egefe Siegeme da hahawane ba: i.
What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
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.
Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
20 Ha: imo amola ea mano Siegeme da diasu holei fofada: su gilisisu sogebi asili, ilia fi dunuma amane sia: i,
Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
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 friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.
22 Be ilia da gadofo damuiba: le, ninia dunu huluane da gadofo damusia fawane ilia da ninima gilisimu.
But these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.
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.”
But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!”
24 Moilai bai bagade dunu huluane da Ha: imo amola Siegeme ela sia: da defea dawa: i. Amalalu, dunu huluane ilia gadofo damui dagoi.
Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.
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.
On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
26 Ela da Ha: imo amola Siegeme fane legei. Amalalu, ela da Daina amo Siegeme ea diasuga fadegale, hiouginana asi.
They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Dunu huluane fane legelalu, Ya: igobe egefelali eno da ilia dalusi wadela: lesi dabe lama: ne, moilai liligi huluane sasamogene lai dagoi.
Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.
28 Ilia da sibi amola goudi, bulamagau, dougi, liligi amo soge amola diasu ganodini dialu, amo huluane sasamogene lai dagoi.
They took away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
29 Ilia da noga: i liligi huluane, uda amola mano huluane gagulaligili asi.
They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
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.”
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
31 Be ilia da bu adole i, “Ilia da ninia dalusi udigili wadela: i aheda: i uda defele hamomu da ninima hamedei.”
But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
