1 Mosebog 34
1 Og Dina, Leas Datter, som hun havde født Jakob, gik ud for at se paa Landets Døtre.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Og Sikem, Landsherren Hemor den Heviters Søn, saa hende, og han tog hende og laa hos hende og krænkede hende.
And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Og hans Hjerte hængte ved Dina, Jakobs Datter, og han havde Pigen kær og talede kærligen med Pigen.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 Og Sikem talede til sin Fader, Hemor, og sagde: Tag mig denne Pige til Hustru!
And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to 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 heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Og Hemor, Sikems Fader, gik ud til Jakob at tale med ham.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
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.
And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought 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,
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her unto him to wife.
9 og gører Svogerskab med os; giver os eders Døtre, og tager eder vore Døtre!
And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 Og I skulle bo hos os, og Landet skal være for eders Aasyn, bor og handler deri, tager eder Ejendom i det!
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
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 unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
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!
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 Da svarede Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hemor svigagtigen og talede med dem, fordi han havde skændet Dina, deres Søster,
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled 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 said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto 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.
Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Og vi ville give eder vore Døtre og tage os eders Døtre og bo hos eder, og vi ville være eet Folk.
then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become 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 ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Og deres Tale behagede Hemor og Sikem, Hemors Søn.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
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 the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
20 Saa kom Hemor og Sikem, hans Søn, til deres Stads Port og talede til deres Bymænd og sagde:
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
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.
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for, behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for 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.
Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
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.
Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell 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.
And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
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.
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.
26 Og de sloge Hemor og hans Søn, Sikem, ihjel med skarpe Sværd og toge Dina af Sikems Hus og gik bort.
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went forth.
27 Saa kom Jakobs Sønner over de ihjelslagne og plyndrede Staden, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled 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 that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;
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, took they captive and spoiled, even all that was in the house.
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, Ye have troubled me, to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Og de sagde: Mon han skulde handle med vor Søster som med en Skøge?
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
