Semtilbu 34
1 Jacob le Leah chanu Dinah chu nikhat apot doh in hiche gam'a cheng numei khangthah hotoh kimuto din achen ahi.
Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
2 Ahin hiche gam'a lengpa chapa Shechem Homar Hivite kitipa chun Dinah chu aman in aluppi tan ahi.
And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of that land, had seen her, he fell in love with her. And so he seized her and slept with her, overwhelming the virgin by force.
3 Ahin amapa chun ahin ngailu lheh tan, hichun aman thudihtah a kihou limpi a nopsah ding chu adei lheh tai.
And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
4 Shechem in apa Homar jah a asei tan, hiche numei nuhi neipui peh un kaji din ka deiye ati.
And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
5 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Jacob in thusoh aja tan Shechem in Dinah aluppia asuhset chu ahe tan, ahin Jacob in achate gamlah a gancha ho ching ahi jeh u chun amaho ahung lhun angah in kam chang khat jeng cha jong akeh poi.
But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.
6 Hamor Shechem pachu Jacob henga kihoulim ding in ache dohtai.
Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
7 Chuin Jacob chate loulam akon in ahung lhung tauvin amahon hiche thuho ajah uchun alung nommo lheh un kidang jong asa lheh uvin hatah in alunghang uvin, asopinu Dinah Shechem in asuhset na Jacob insung asuhboi chu bollou ding khat ahiye atiuve.
behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.
8 Hamor in Jacob le achate aki houlim pin, aman aseiye, “Kachapa Shechem in na chanu alungset lheh jeng in ahi, lungset tah in amani chu ki chensah uhite.
And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.
9 Ahithei dingle eiho chate kila tou hite, kei hon nangho chanu ho kipui uving kating, keima ho chanute ho jong nangho chapate ho din kipui un ati.
And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
10 Hiche gamsunga hi ichen khom theiyu ahi, chule khosa uvin bolthei toh thei tong un, na nop chanu neile gou jong na kilam theiyu ahi.”
And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
11 Shechem chu Dinah sopiho le apa jah a ataotan, “Lungset tah in nei khotou vin, ahithei ding le kaji din kaki pui nom e chule nangma hon na thum channu chu keiman ka peh ding na hiuve.”
And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.
12 Numei nu chu kaji dinga nei peh pou ule keiman ipi thilpeh hijongle suhto thei ding alen aneo hileh kapeh ding ahi ati.
Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
13 Hinlah Shechem in Dinah ana luppi a asuhset tah jeh chun Jacob chate chun Hamor le achapa Shechem chu lungpha lou tah in ahoulimpi tauve.
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
14 Amahon adonbut un, “Hiche hi keima ho moh nop lhah thei ka hi pouve, Ajeh chu nangho hi chep tanlou na hiuvin, ka sopinu'u nanghon nakipui dingu chu keiho dinga jachat umtah khat hung hi ding ahi.
“We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.
15 Hinlah kihou cham theina khat vang aum'e, hichu ahileh na pasal ho jouse achep na tan thei diu le atiuve.
But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.
16 Hiche teng chule ka chanu teho'u kapeh theiyu, chule nang ho chanu ho jong keima hon jong kaki pui thei dingu ahi atiuve.
Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
17 Ahin nangho pasal hon acheptan ding anop lou ule ka sopinu'u ka peh theilou dingu ahi atiuve.
But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
18 Hamor le achapa Shechem chun amaho thilgon chu pha asa lhon in ahi.
Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Shechem chu alunglhai lheh in bol ding ho chu agei sang tapon, ajeh chu Dinah Jacob chanu adei behset jeh chun Shechem chu amaho insung milah a jathei umdol tah khat ahi.
Neither did the young man cause any delay; in fact he immediately fulfilled what was requested. For he loved the girl very much, and he was well-known throughout his father’s house.
20 Chuin Hamor le achapa Shechem khopi kelkot a ahung lhon in mipi ho laha aki hou na'u kinop tona ho chu ahung phong doh lhon in hitin asei lhon in ahi.
And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
21 Ama nin aphong doh lhon in hiche miho hi mipha eiho mi ahi ati lhon e, veuvin gam jong lentah enei uvin amaho chenna thei ding, amaho toh chengkhom uhitin, bolthei thei bol uhitin, eihon jong amaho chanute ijon thei ding'u chule amahon jong eiho chanute aki chenpi thei dingu ahi,” ati.
“These men are peaceful, and they want to live among us. Let them trade in the land and cultivate it, for, being spacious and broad, it is in need of cultivation. We will receive their daughters as wives, and we will give them ours.
22 Amaho toh eiho ichen khom thei na diuvin thil khat aum e, hichu ahileh eiho pasal jouse amaho banga chep ekitan tengu le ichen khom thei ding'u ahi.
There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
23 Hinlah thilpha khat ihet dingu chu ichen khom tengule, agancha hou, anei agou hou jouse aboncha a eiho a hung hithei ahi. Hijeh chun amahon adei atup ho chu bolpeh leuhen amaho jong eiho lah a chen ding tha nom tah a hung cheng diu ahi tai.
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, will be ours, if only we will acquiesce to this, and so, in living together, will form one people.”
24 Hichun khopi sunga cheng aching athem jouse Hamor le achapa Shechem thupeh chu anom cheh tauvin, chule pasal jousen achep akitan soh hel tauvin ahi.
And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
25 Ahin nithum jou don chun amaho cheptan na maha jong damtheng loulai in Jacob chateni Simon le Levi a sopinu Dinah toh peng khom teni chu ahung kon lhon in hiche khopi sunga pasal jouse chemjam in asat lih lhontan ahi.
And behold, on the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, boldly entered the city with swords. And they put to death all of the males.
26 Hiche athi ho lah achun Hamor le achapa Shechem jong ajao lhon tai, Hichun Dinah chu Shechem in muna kon in amaho inlam a ahin pui lhon tan ahi.
They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
27 Phat chomkhat jou in Jacob chate ho ahung lhung cheh tauvin, amahon khopi sunga mipi athi amang akithat ho chu asopinu u ki suhthang na khopi chu achom theng hel uve.
And when they had departed, the other sons of Jacob rushed over the slain, and they plundered the city in vengeance for the rape.
28 Amahon akelngoi hou ahin, abongchal hou chule sangan ho jouse phaicham khopi sungle tollhang a thil keo jouse akilah tauve.
Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
29 Anei agou jouse jong alah peh soh keijun, amaho jite chate jong alah peh un, amaho hetkhah nalouva apui mang tauve.
they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
30 Jacob in phat chomkhat jouvin Simon le Levi koma hitin aseiye, “Keima hi neisuh mang lhon ahi tai, hiche gam mite le Canaan mite le Perizzites mite koma hin ka namse in ka ui lheh tai. chule eiho lhomcha ihiuvin amaho ahung kihou toh tengule eiho eisuh mang dingu ahi. keima kahin ka insung pumpi kaki chai helding ahitai,” ati.
When they had boldly completed these acts, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: “You have troubled me, and you have made me hateful to the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few. They, gathering themselves together, may strike me down, and then both I and my house will be wiped away.”
31 Ama hon lung hang tah in asei jun, “Ipi bol'a chu isopinu u chu numei kijoh banga abolset ham?” atiuve.
They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
