Kamtawngnae 34
1 Leah canu Dinah Jakop e a yu ni a khe pouh e hah haw e ram dawk e tanglanaw hmu han a ngai dawkvah a pai.
And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
2 Hiv tami, haw e siangpahrang Hamor capa Shekhem ni a hmu, a man teh a ikhai teh a min a mathoe sak.
and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, sees her, and takes her, and lies with her, and humbles her;
3 A hringnae teh Jakop canu Dinah koe dueng a lungthin ao, hote tangla teh a lungpatawpoung dawk lawk kahawi hoi dueng a pato.
and his soul cleaves to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loves the young person, and speaks to the heart of the young person.
4 Shekhem ni a na pa Hamor koe, hote tangla hah kai hane yu lah na paluen pouh, telah ati.
And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a wife.”
5 Jakop ni a canu Dinah hah Shekhem ni a khin sak tie hah a panue, a capanaw hah law vah saringhu hoi a i awh teh, a tho hoehroukrak teh Jakop duem ao.
And Jacob has heard that he has defiled his daughter Dinah, and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob kept silent until their coming.
6 Shekhem e a na pa Hamor teh Jakop pato hanelah a cei.
And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak with him;
7 Jakop capanaw ni a thai awh tahma vah law hoi a ban awh. Jakop canu a ikhai e hoi, Isarelnaw thungvah kayayeirai sak hane hoi, sak hoeh hane kawi yonnae a sak dawkvah, a lungmathoe awh teh a lung pueng hoi a khuek awh.
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 has done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob—and so it is not done.
8 Hateiteh, Hamor ni a pato teh ka capa Shekhem a hringnae teh na canu e lathueng dueng doeh ao, pahren lahoi a yu hanelah paluen sak leih.
And Hamor speaks with them, saying, “Shechem, my son, his soul has cleaved to your daughter; please give her to him for a wife,
9 Kâpaluen awh sei, na canunaw na paluen sak awh haw, kaimae canu hai paluen van awh.
and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
10 Kaimouh koe na o awh vaiteh ram hai moi kalen lah ao doeh. Hivah awm awh nateh hno yawt awh nateh, moikapap tawnta awh telah ati.
and you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
11 Shekhem ni tangla e na pa hoi a thangroinaw koevah na pahren awh loe. Kai koe na dei awh e pueng na poe awh han.
And Shechem says to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which you say to me, I give;
12 Aphu hoi poehno teh na hei awh e yit touh na poe awh han. Bangtelah nakunghai tangla teh yu lah na paluen sak awh telah ati.
multiply on me dowry and gift exceedingly, and I give as you say to me, and give to me the young person for a wife.”
13 Hateiteh, Jakop capanaw ni a canu Dinah a khinsak awh dawkvah, Shekhem hoi a na pa Hamor teh dumnae lahoi bout a dei pouh awh.
And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
14 Ahnimouh ni ahnimanaw koe vuensom ka a hoeh e naw koe ka canu na poe thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot hateh kaimouh hanelah min mathoenae doeh.
and say to them, “We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who has a foreskin, for it [is] a reproach to us.
15 Hateiteh, hettelah lawk na kâkam awh torei dueng doeh, nangmae lawk hah ka hnâbawt awh ti, nangmouh koe e tongpa pueng hah vuensoma awh nateh kaimanaw patetlah awm awh.
Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
16 Hat toteh, kaimae canu na paluen sak vaiteh, kaimouh ni hai nangmae canunaw hai ka paluen van awh han. Hahoi nangmouh koe ka o awh vaiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh han.
then we have given our daughters to you, and we take your daughters for ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
17 Hateiteh, kaimae lawk na ngai awh hoeh lah, vuensom na a awh hoehpawiteh, ka canu ka la vaiteh ka cei awh han toe telah ati.
and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
18 Hahoi ahnimae lawk ni Hamor hoi Hamor capa Shekhem hah a lunghawi sak.
And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
19 Hottelah thoundoun ni Jakop canu hah a ngai lawi vah, hothateh moikasaw e lah pouk laipalah tang a sak, ahni teh a na pa imthungnaw thung dawkvah bari poung e lah ao.
and the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he is honorable above all the house of his father.
20 Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a kho kalupnae longkha koe a pha awh teh, kho thung e taminaw hoi a kâpato awh.
And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying,
21 Hote taminaw hoi maimouh hoi karoumcalah hoi kho a sak awh. Hatdawkvah hete ram dawk kho a sak awh vaiteh, hivah hno yawt awh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh han ram akawpoung doeh. A canunaw hah yu lah paluen awh vaiteh, maimae canunaw hai yu lah paluen van awh naseh.
“These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, behold, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.
22 Hateiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh thai nahan, hettelah lawkkam awh torei dueng doeh ahnimouh ni hnâ na bo khai hanelah ao, vuensom ka a awh e patetlah mamouh thung e tongpa pueng hai vuensoma awh sei.
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 Ahnimae saringnaw, hnopainaw hoi a tawnta e naw pueng teh, maimae lah be kaawm han nahoehmaw. Ahnimae lawk teh hnâbawtkhai awh sei. Hottelah hoi maimouh koe kho a sak awh han telah ati awh.
their livestock, and their substance, and all their beasts—are they not ours? Only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.”
24 Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a dei e hah kalupnae rapan koe kâen ka tâcawt e pueng ni a hnâbokhai awh teh, longkha koe kâen ka tâcawt e tongpa pueng teh vuensom koung a a sak awh.
And to Hamor, and to his son Shechem, do all those going out of the gate of his city listen, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
25 Hahoi hettelah doeh. A apâthum hnin a pataw poungnae dawk Jakop capanaw thung hoi kahni touh e, Dinah e a thangroi Simeon hoi Levih ni amamouh roi e tahloi a sin roi teh arulahoi khopui a tuk roi teh tongpa pueng he a thei roi.
And it comes to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem hai tahloi hoi a thei awh. Shekhem im dawk e Dinah hah a tâcokhai awh teh a cei awh.
and Hamor, and his son Shechem, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and go out.
27 Jakop capanaw ni a thei awh e naw koe a pha awh van teh, a tawncanu a kamhnawng sin dawkvah khopui teh a raphoe awh.
Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
28 A tuhunaw, maitohunaw, lahunaw hoi amamouh kho e kaawm e hnopainaw hah a la pouh awh.
their flock and their herd, and their donkeys, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
29 A hnopainaw, a canaw hoi a yunaw imthungkhu kaawm e pueng hah he a lawp awh teh be a raphoe awh.
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 Jakop ni Simeon hoi Levih koevah nangmanaw ni hete ram dawk e taminaw hoi Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw kecu dawkvah, kai heh min mathoenae na phu sak teh, lung na mathoe sak. Kai ka younca navah kai taranlahoi kamkhueng awh vaiteh, kai hoi ka imthungnaw hah na thet awh vaiteh, he na pahma awh han doeh telah ati.
And Jacob says to Simeon and to Levi, “You 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 struck me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni kaimae tawncanu heh, kâyawt e napui patetlah a sak han na maw telah ati awh.
And they say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
