Postanak 34
1 Dina, kći koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziđe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.
Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the local women.
2 Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.
Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her. He grabbed hold of her and raped her.
3 Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kćer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojčino srce.
However, then he fell deeply in love with Dinah and tried to get her to love him too.
4 Šekem je govorio i svom ocu Hamoru: “Onu mi djevojku uzmi za ženu!”
He went and asked his father, “Get this young girl for me so I can marry her.”
5 Jakov sazna da je Šekem obeščastio njegovu kćer Dinu. Ali kako su njegovi sinovi bili uz blago na polju, Jakov nije poduzimao ništa dok oni ne dođu.
Jacob found out that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, but as his sons were away looking after the flocks in the fields he didn't say anything until they came home.
6 Uto dođe k Jakovu Šekemov otac Hamor da se s njim sporazumije,
In the meantime Hamor, Shechem's father, arrived to talk with Jacob.
7 upravo kad su se Jakovljevi sinovi vraćali iz polja. Kad su čuli vijest, ljudi su bili ojađeni i vrlo ljuti. Što je Šekem učinio - legavši s Jakovljevom kćeri - u Izraelu je bila sramota. To se nije smjelo trpjeti.
When Jacob's sons returned from the fields they were very upset when they heard the news and became extremely angry because Shechem had done something outrageous in Israel by having sex with Jacob's daughter—something that should never be done.
8 Hamor im reče. “Moj se sin Šekem svom dušom zaljubio u vašu kćer. Dajte mu je za ženu!
Hamor told them, “My son Shechem is very much in love with your daughter and your sister Dinah. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Oprijateljite se s nama: dajite nam svoje kćeri, a naše kćeri uzimajte sebi!
In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.
10 Tako možete živjeti među nama; zemlja je pred vama da se naselite, u njoj se slobodno krećete i stječete imovinu!”
You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”
11 Potom Šekem reče njezinu ocu i njezinoj braći: “Da nađem milost u vašim očima, dat ću vam što zatražite.
Then Shechem himself spoke up, and said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Please accept me and my proposal, and I'll do whatever you ask.
12 Tražite od mene koliko hoćete: sve što god zapitate dat ću, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu.”
You can set the bride price as high as you like, and I'll pay it along with all the gifts I'll give. Just let me have the girl so I can marry her.”
13 Jakovljevi sinovi odgovore Šekemu i njegovu ocu Hamoru - govorili su s prijevarom jer je obeščastio njihovu sestru Dinu -
Jacob's sons weren't honest when they answered him and his father Hamor because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
14 te im rekoše: “Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo čovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.
They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on us.
15 Jedino ćemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.
We will only agree to it with this condition: all of you must be circumcised like us.
16 Onda vam možemo davati svoje kćeri i uzimati vaše sebi, s vama se naseliti i biti jedan rod.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters, and we will live among you and become one family.
17 A ako ne pristajete na obrezanje, uzet ćemo svoju kćer i otići.”
But if you don't agree with us that you should be circumcised, then we'll take our sister and leave.”
18 Hamoru i Šekemu, Hamorovu sinu, njihov se zahtjev učini povoljan.
Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to what was proposed.
19 Mladić nije časio da zahtjev izvrši, jer je čeznuo za Jakovljevom kćeri; a bio je najuvaženiji od svih u očevu domu.
The young man Shechem didn't waste any time in arranging this because he was infatuated with Jacob's daughter, and he was viewed as the most important person in his father's family.
20 Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem dođu u svoje gradsko vijeće i obrate se svojim sugrađanima ovako:
Hamor and Shechem went to the town gate and spoke to the other leaders there.
21 “Ovaj je svijet prijazan; neka se među nama u zemlji nasele; neka se po njoj slobodno kreću; ima dosta prostora u zemlji za njih; možemo uzimati njihove kćeri sebi za žene, a njima davati svoje.
“These men are our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry.
22 No ljudi će pristati da među nama žive i s nama budu jedan rod samo ako se svi naši muškarci obrežu kao što su oni obrezani.
But they will only agree to this on one condition: they will only join us and become one family if every male among us is circumcised like they are.
23 Zar tako ne bi stoka koju su stekli, sve njihovo blago - bilo naše? Pristanimo, pa neka se među nama nasele!”
If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among us.”
24 Svi odrasli muškarci koji imaju pravo izaći na gradska vrata poslušaše Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, pa bude obrezan svaki muškarac - svaki koji ima pravo izaći na gradska vrata.
Everyone there at the town gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem so every male in the town was circumcised.
25 A trećega dana, dok su oni još bili u bolovima, dva Jakovljeva sina, Šimun i Levi, Dinina braća, pograbe svaki svoj mač i nesmetano dođu u grad te poubijaju sve muškarce.
Three days later while they were still suffering pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Jacob's sons and Dinah's brothers, came with their swords into the town. Unopposed, they slaughtered every male.
26 Sasijeku mačem Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, uzmu Dinu iz Šekemove kuće i odu.
They killed Hamor and Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.
27 Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi dođu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obeščašćena.
Jacob's other sons arrived, robbed the dead bodies, and looted the town where their sister had been violated.
28 Što je bilo krupne i sitne stoke i magaradi, u gradu i u polju, otjeraju;
They took their sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—
29 opljačkaju sva njihova dobra, a svu im djecu i žene - sve što je bilo po kućama - odvedu u roblje.
all their possessions. They captured all their women and children, and plundered everything in their homes.
30 Jakov reče Šimunu i Leviju: “Uveli ste me u nepriliku omrazivši me stanovnicima zemlje, Kanaancima i Perižanima. Ako se ujedine protiv mene i napadnu me, dok je nas ovako malo na broj, istrijebit će me s mojim domom.”
But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
31 Oni odgovore: “Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?”
But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?”
