Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. His sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of the matter. The men were offended. They were very angry because he had disgraced Israel by forcing himself on Jacob's daughter, for such a thing should not have been 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.
Hamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem loves your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

You will live with us, and the land will be open to you to live and trade in, and to acquire property.”

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.
Ask me for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me, but give me the young woman as a wife.”

The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, because Shechem had defiled Dinah their sister.
14 Amih rhoi te, “Hlang yanghli taengah ka ngannu paek ham hno saii he kaimih ham kokhahnah la om tih coeng pawh.
They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to anyone who is uncircumcised; for that 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.
Only on this condition will we agree with you: If you will become circumcised as we are, if every male among you is circumcised.

But if you do not listen to us and become circumcised, then we will take our sister and we will leave.”

Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.

The young man did not delay to do what they said, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and because he was the most honored person in all his father's household.

Hamor and Shechem his son went to the gate of their city and spoke with the men of their city, saying,

“These men are at peace with us, so let them live in the land and trade in it for, really, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

Will not their livestock and their property—all their animals be ours? So let us agree with them, and they will live 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 of the city listened to Hamor and Shechem, his son. Every male was circumcised.

On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob (Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers), each took his sword and they attacked the city that was certain of its security, and they killed all the males.

The other sons of Jacob came to the dead bodies and looted the city, because the people had defiled their sister.

Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, to make me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. If they gather themselves together against me and attack me, then I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
31 Tedae, “Ka ngannu te pumyoi bangla a saii ham om a?” a ti uh.
But Simeon and Levi said, “Should Shechem have dealt with our sister as with a prostitute?”
