Suencuek 34
1 Leah canu Dinah, Jakob ham a cun pah te tolrhum kah tanu rhoek te sawt hamla cet.
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
2 Tedae khohmuen kah khoboei Khivee Hamor capa Shekhem loh anih te a hmuh dongah a loh tih a yalh puei phoeiah a tholh puei.
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
3 Te phoeiah Jakob canu Dinah taengah a hinglu tlun tih hula te a lungnah dongah hula kah lungbuei te doelh a voek.
And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
4 Te dongah Shekhem loh a napa Hamor la, “Hekah hutaca he kai ham ka yuu la han lo,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5 A canu Dinah a poeih pah te Jakob loh a yaak dae kohong ah a ca rhoek neh boiva te a om pueng dongah amih halo uh due Jakob loh hil a phah.
Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent about it until they returned.
6 Jakob te voekhlak ham Shekhem napa Hamor te cet.
Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7 Jakob ca rhoek khaw pong lamkah a pai uh vaengah a yaak uh. Tongpa tongpa rhoek te a kothae uh tih amih te muep sai uh. Jakob canu taengah a yalh te Israel taengah boethaehalang ni a. saii. Tedae he he a saii tueng moenih.
When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
8 Tedae Hamor loh amih taengah, “Ka capa Shekhem loh nang canu soah a hinglu loh a ven oeh tih a yuu la m'pae mai.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Te phoeiah nangmih nu te kaimih taengah vasak sak ham kaimih m'pae lamtah namamih ham kaimih nu na loh uh mako.
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Kaimih taengah khosa uh mai. Na mikhmuh ah khohmuen om coeng. Khosa uh lamtah thimpom neh a khuikah te bawn uh,” a ti nah.
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
11 Te vaengah Shekhem loh Dinah kah a napa neh a nganpa rhoek taengah, “Nangmih mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah kai taengah na kuek uh vanbangla kan paek uh bitni.
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12 Kai soah maan neh kutdoe muep na kuek uh akhaw kai taengah na kuek uh te tah kan paek bitni. Tedae hula te ka yuu la kai taengah paek uh,” a ti nah.
Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
13 Tedae a ngannu Dinah te a poeih pah dongah Jakob ca rhoek loh Shekhem neh a napa Hamor te a doo uh vaengah thailatnah neh a voek uh.
But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14 Amih rhoi te, “Hlang yanghli taengah ka ngannu paek ham hno saii he kaimih ham kokhahnah la om tih coeng pawh.
“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
15 Nangmih taengkah tongpa boeih te yahhmui a rhet tih kaimih bangla na om uh atah he nen bueng ni nangmih te kan rhoi uh eh.
We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
16 Te daengah ni kaimih nu rhoek te nangmih kan paek uh phoeiah kamamih ham nangmih nu rhoek te ka loh uh vetih nangmih taengah kho ka sak uh vaengah pilnam pakhat la n'coeng uh eh.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
17 Tedae yahhmui rhet ham kaimih neh nan rhoi uh pawt atah ka canu he ka loh uh vetih ka bal uh ni,” a ti uh.
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
18 Te dongah amih kah olka te Hamor mikhmuh ah khaw, Harmor capa Shekhem mikhmuh ah khaw then.
Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Tedae cadong loh Jakob canu te a ngaih coeng dongah hno saii ham te uelh pawh. Te dongah anih te a napa imkhui boeih soah a thangpom.
The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
20 Te dongah Hamor neh a capa Shekhem loh amah khopuei vongka la cet tih amah khopuei kah hlang rhoek taengah,
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
21 Hekah hlang rhoek he mamih neh baerhoep la tolrhum ah khaw khosa uh saeh. Te phoeiah amih kah nongcen rhoeh la khotuk khaw amih ham a dang ka mungkung mai. Mamih kah yuu la amih nu rhoek te lo sih lamtah mah nu te amih pae uh sih.
“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.
22 Tedae tongpa boeih loh yahvin a rhet uh vanbangla mamih ah pilnam pakhat la om ham atah ning taengkah aka om tongpa rhoek kah yahhmui a rhet nen bueng he ni mamih te n'rhoi uh eh.
But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.
23 Amih kah boiva neh hnopai, rhamsa boeih khaw mamih ham moenih a? Te dongah amih te rhoi uh mai sih lamtah mamih taengah khosa uh saeh,” a ti uh.
Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”
24 Te dongah a khopuei kah vongka ah aka cet boeih loh Hamor neh a capa Shekhem te a ngai uh tih tongpa boeih khukah a khopuei vongka aka pha boeih loh yahhmui a rhet uh.
All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.
25 Tedae hnin thum a lo vaengah amih te a tloh pah. Te dongah Dinah nganpa Simeon neh Levi, Jakob ca rhoi loh cunghang rhirha a muk rhoi tih ngaikhuek la khopuei te a paan rhoi. Te vaengah tongpa boeih te a ngawn rhoi.
Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.
26 Hamor neh a capa Shekhem te cunghang ha neh a ngawn rhoi. Dinah te khaw Shekhem im lamloh a lat rhoi tih bal rhoi.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 A ngannu a poeih pa uh dongah Jakob ca rhoek loh rhok te a paan uh tih khopuei te a poelyoe uh.
Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 Amih kah boiva neh saelhung khaw, laak khaw, khopuei khui neh lohma kah te a mawt pa uh.
They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
29 Amih kah tatthai boeih neh a yuu, a ca boeih te a sol pa uh tih im kah aka om boeih te khaw a poelyoe uh.
They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
30 Te dongah Jakob loh Simeon neh Levi taengah, “Khohmuen kah kho aka sa Kanaan neh Perizzi rhoek taengah ka bo nan rhim sak rhoi tih kai nan lawn rhoi coeng. Tahae ah kai hlang sii taengah tingtun uh tih kai he n'ngawn uh koinih kamah neh ka imko loh ka mit uh ni ta he,” a ti nah.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 Tedae, “Ka ngannu te pumyoi bangla a saii ham om a?” a ti uh.
But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
