1 Mosebog 34

1 Og Dina, Leas Datter, som hun havde født Jakob, gik ud for at se paa Landets Døtre.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

2 Og Sikem, Landsherren Hemor den Heviters Søn, saa hende, og han tog hende og laa hos hende og krænkede hende.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

3 Og hans Hjerte hængte ved Dina, Jakobs Datter, og han havde Pigen kær og talede kærligen med Pigen.

Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

4 Og Sikem talede til sin Fader, Hemor, og sagde: Tag mig denne Pige til Hustru!

And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

5 Og Jakob havde hørt, at han havde skændet Dina, hans Datter, og hans Sønner vare med hans Kvæg paa Marken, og Jakob tav, indtil de kom.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

6 Og Hemor, Sikems Fader, gik ud til Jakob at tale med ham.

Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

7 Og Jakobs Sønner kom fra Marken, der de hørte det, og Mændene forbitredes og bleve saare vrede; thi han havde gjort en Daarlighed mod Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter, og saaledes burde det ikke ske.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

8 Da talede Hemor med dem og sagde: Min Søn Sikems Hjerte har Lyst til eders Datter; kære, giver ham hende til Hustru,

But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?

9 og gører Svogerskab med os; giver os eders Døtre, og tager eder vore Døtre!

And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 Og I skulle bo hos os, og Landet skal være for eders Aasyn, bor og handler deri, tager eder Ejendom i det!

Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

11 Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og til hendes Brødre: Lad mig finde Naade for eders Øjne, og jeg vil give, hvad I ville sige til mig.

And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.

12 Begærer saare meget af mig til Morgengave og Skænk, og jeg vil give, efter som I sige mig, men giver mig Pigen til Hustru!

However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

13 Da svarede Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hemor svigagtigen og talede med dem, fordi han havde skændet Dina, deres Søster,

But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

14 og de sagde til dem: Vi kunne ikke gøre denne Gerning, at give vor Søster til en Mand, som har Forhud; thi det er en Forsmædelse for os.

And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

15 Dog ville vi være eder til Villie i dette, dersom I ville blive som vi, saa I lade alt Mandkøn hos eder omskære.

But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

16 Og vi ville give eder vore Døtre og tage os eders Døtre og bo hos eder, og vi ville være eet Folk.

Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

17 Men dersom I ikke ville høre os i at lade eder omskære, da ville vi tage vor Datter og drage bort.

But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

18 Og deres Tale behagede Hemor og Sikem, Hemors Søn.

And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.

19 Og den unge Karl tøvede ikke med at gøre denne Gerning; thi han havde Lyst til Jakobs Datter, og han var æret fremfor hele sin Faders Hus.

And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

20 Saa kom Hemor og Sikem, hans Søn, til deres Stads Port og talede til deres Bymænd og sagde:

Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

21 disse Mænd ere fredsommelige hos os og ville bo i Landet og handle deri, og se, Landet er vidt nok for dem; vi ville tage os deres Døtre til Hustruer og give dem vore Døtre.

It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

22 Dog i saa Maade ville Mændene være os til Villie med at bo hos os og blive eet Folk med os, om vi ville omskære alt Mandkøn iblandt os, lige som de ere omskaarne.

But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

23 Deres Fæ og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg, blive de ikke vore? ikkun at vi ere dem til Villie, da ville de bo hos os.

Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

24 Og de løde Hemor og hans Søn Sikem, alle de, som gik ud af hans Stads Port, og alt Mandkøn lod sig omskære, alle som gik ud af hans Stads Port.

Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

25 Og det skete paa den tredje Dag, der de havde Smerter, da toge de to Jakobs Sønner, Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd og kom ind i den trygge Stad, og de sloge alt Mandkøn ihjel.

But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

26 Og de sloge Hemor og hans Søn, Sikem, ihjel med skarpe Sværd og toge Dina af Sikems Hus og gik bort.

And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

27 Saa kom Jakobs Sønner over de ihjelslagne og plyndrede Staden, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster.

And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

28 Deres Kvæg og deres Øksen og deres Asener, baade hvad der var i Staden, og hvad der var paa Marken, toge de.

They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

29 Og al deres Formue og alle deres Børn og deres Kvinder fangede og røvede de, og alt, hvad der var i Huset.

And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

30 Da sagde Jakob til Simeon og Levi: I have forstyrret mig, idet I gjorde mig stinkende for dette Lands Indbyggere, for Kananiten og Feresiten, og jeg er en liden Hob, og de kunne samle sig imod mig og slaa mig, og jeg maatte ødelægges, jeg og mit Hus.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

31 Og de sagde: Mon han skulde handle med vor Søster som med en Skøge?

But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
