Genesis 34
1 Leah mah Jakob han sak pae ih canu Dinah loe to prae thung ih nongpatanawk khaeah paqaih hanah caeh.
And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on the daughters of the land,
2 To prae ukkung, Hiv acaeng Hanor capa, Shekem mah anih to hnuk naah, anih to naeh moe, iih haih pacoengah amhnongsak.
and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth her;
3 Anih loe poekhaih palungthin boih Jakob canu Dinah hanah paek, nongpata to a palung khruek pongah, lok kanaem ta hoiah anih to paroi.
and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.
4 Shekem mah ampa Hamor khaeah, Hae nongpata hae ka zu ah na la pae ah, tiah a naa.
And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, 'Take for me this damsel for a wife.'
5 A canu Dinah to Shekem mah iih haih boeh, tito Jakob mah thaih, a caanawk loe lawk ah maitaw toep o; Jakob loe nihcae angzo ai karoek to lok apae ai ah anghngai duem.
And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.
6 To naah Shekem ampa Hamor loe lokthuih hanah, Jakob khaeah caeh.
And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;
7 Jakob ih caanawk mah to tamthang to thaih o naah, im ah amlaem o roep; Shekem loe Israel kaminawk salakah kahoih ai hmuen hoi sak koi ai hmuen ah kaom, Jakob ih canu Dinah to iih haih moeng boeh pongah, nihcae loe palungnat khue khawt ai ah, palung a phui o parai.
and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob — and so it is not done.
8 Toe Hamor mah nihcae khaeah, Ka capa Shekem mah na canu hae palung khruek boeh; anih han zu ah na paek halat ah.
And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, 'Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for a wife,
9 Kaicae hoi zu sava ah om si, na canunawk to na paek oh loe, nangcae doeh kaicae tanuh hae la o toeng ah.
and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,
10 Kaicae khaeah khosah oh, hae prae hae nangcae han kang paongh pae; a thungah khosah oh loe, hmuenmaenawk doeh zaw oh; a thung ih hmuennawk to toep oh, tiah a naa.
and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.'
11 To pacoengah Shekem mah Dinah ih ampa hoi nawkamyanawk khaeah, Hae hmuen pongah na tahmen o raeh, nang hnik o ih hmuen boih kang paek han.
And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, 'Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I give;
12 Avang hoi tangqum loe nazetto doeh pop nasoe, nang hnik o zetto kang paek han hmang, nongpata hae mah ka zu ah na paek oh, tiah a naa.
multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.'
13 Anih mah nihcae ih tanuh Dinah to zae haih boeh pongah, Jakob ih caanawk mah Shekem hoi ampa Hamor to aling o;
And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their sister),
14 nihcae mah nihnik khaeah, Tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk khaeah, to baktih hmuen to ka sah o thai mak ai; to baktih hmuen loe kaicae han azat kathok hmuen ah ni oh;
and say unto them, 'We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a reproach to us.
15 toe kaicae baktih toengah, nangcae thung ih nongpa boih tangzat hin na aah o nahaeloe, na thuih ih lok to kang tapom pae o han;
'Only for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
16 to pacoengah ni kaicae ih canunawk to kang paek o moe, nangcae ih canunawk doeh ka la o toeng tih; nangcae hoi nawnto ka om o ueloe, acaeng maeto ah om tih.
then we have given our daughters to you, and your daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
17 Toe kang thuih o ih baktih toengah, tangzat hin aah han na koeh o ai nahaeloe, ka canu to ka lak o moe, ka caeh o han boeh, tiah a naa o.
and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.'
18 To tiah a thuih o ih lok to Hamor hoi a capa Shekem mah palung due hoi.
And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son;
19 To thendoeng loe ampa imthung ah khingya o koek ih thendoeng ah oh moe, Jakob ih canu to koeh khruek pongah, nihcae mah thuih ih lok to aek ai.
and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he is honourable above all the house of his father.
20 To naah Hamor hoi a capa Shekem loe to vangpui khongkha taengah caeh hoi moe, angmacae vangpui thung ih kaminawk khaeah lok a thuih pae hoi,
And Hamor cometh — Shechem his son also — unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,
21 nihnik mah, Hae kaminawk loe angdaeh koeh kami ah oh o; aicae prae ah omsak si loe, hmuenmaenawk doeh zawsak si; khenah, nihcae han kakhawt kalen parai ahmuen doeh oh; nihcae ih canunawk to la o si loe, aicae ih canunawk doeh nihcae han paek si.
'These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.
22 Toe nihcae loe tangzat aat kami ah oh o pongah, aicae doeh nihcae baktiah tangzat hin aah o naah ni, nihcae loe nangcae hoi nawnto om o thai tih.
'Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;
23 Nihcae ih maitawnawk, nihcae ih hmuennawk hoi moinawk loe aicae ih hmuen ah om mak ai, tiah na poek o maw? To pongah aicae mah nihcae ih lok to paroi o halat si, to tiah ni nihcae loe aicae hoi nawnto om o tih, tiah a thuih pae hoi.
their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts — are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.'
24 Anih ih vangpui khongkha ah kacaeh kaminawk boih mah Hamor hoi a capa Shekem ih lok to paroi o; to pongah anih ih vangpui thungah kaom nongpanawk loe tangzat hin to aah o boih.
And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
25 Aahhaih ahmaa nat li haih, ni thumto naah Jakob ih caa, Dinah ih thangqoi Simeon hoi Levi loe angmah hnik ih sumsen to lak hoi moe, misahoihaih hoiah vangpui to muk hoi pacoengah nongpanawk to hum hoi boih.
And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 Hamor hoi a capa Shekem to sumsen hoi a hum hoi moe, Shekem imthung ih Dinah to a lak hoi pacoengah, tacawt hoi.
and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house, and go out.
27 Nihcae mah a tanuh to zae o haih pongah, Jakob ih caanawk loe kadueh kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, vangpui to phraek o.
Jacob's sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
28 Tuunawk, maitawnawk, la hrangnawk, vangpui thung kaom hmuennawk hoi lawk ah kaom hmuennawk to a lak o,
their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
29 nihcae ih hmuennawk, nihcae ih nawktanawk hoi zunawk to naeh o boih moe, im ah kaom hmuennawk to paro pae o boih.
and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.
30 Jakob mah Simeon hoi Levi khaeah, Raihaih nang paek hoi boeh, Kanaan kaminawk hoi Periz kaminawk, hae prae ah kaom kaminawk khaeah panuet thok ah nang sak hoi boeh; aicae loe kami zetta, nihcae loe kai tuk hanah amkhueng o tih, kai na hum o ueloe, kaimah hoi ka imthung takoh doeh hum o boih tih boeh, tiah a naa.
And Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, 'Ye have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.'
31 Toe nihnik mah, Anih mah ka tanuh tangzat zaw kami baktiah sak han oh maw? tiah a naa hoi.
And they say, 'As a harlot doth he make our sister?'
