Suencuek 34

1 Leah canu Dinah, Jakob ham a cun pah te tolrhum kah tanu rhoek te sawt hamla cet.

And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on 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.

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 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 cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.

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.

And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, 'Take for me this damsel for 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.

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 Jakob te voekhlak ham Shekhem napa Hamor te cet.

And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;

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.

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 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.

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 Te phoeiah nangmih nu te kaimih taengah vasak sak ham kaimih m'pae lamtah namamih ham kaimih nu na loh uh mako.

and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to 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.

and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.'

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.

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 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.

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 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.

And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he 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.

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 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 for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,

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 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 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.

and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.'

18 Te dongah amih kah olka te Hamor mikhmuh ah khaw, Harmor capa Shekhem mikhmuh ah khaw then.

And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son;

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.

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 Te dongah Hamor neh a capa Shekhem loh amah khopuei vongka la cet tih amah khopuei kah hlang rhoek taengah,

And Hamor cometh — Shechem his son also — unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,

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 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 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.

'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 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.

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 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.

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 Tedae hnin thum a lo vaengah amih te a tlohpah. 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.

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 neh a capa Shekhem te cunghang ha neh a ngawn rhoi. Dinah te khaw Shekhem im lamloh a lat rhoi tih bal rhoi.

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 A ngannu a poeih pa uh dongah Jakob ca rhoek loh rhok te a paan uh tih khopuei te a poelyoe uh.

Jacob's sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;

28 Amih kah boiva neh saelhung khaw, laak khaw, khopuei khui neh lohma kah te a mawt pauh.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Tedae, “Ka ngannu te pumyoi bangla a saii ham om a?” a ti uh.

And they say, 'As a harlot doth he make our sister?'
