1 Mosebog 34

1 Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,

Then Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare vnto Iaakob, went out to see the daughters of that countrey.

2 saa Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og laa hos hende; og han krænkede hende;

Whome when Shechem the sonne of Hamor the Hiuite lorde of that countrey sawe, hee tooke her, and lay with her, and defiled her.

3 men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;

So his heart claue vnto Dinah the daughter of Iaakob: and he loued the maide, and spake kindely vnto the maide.

4 og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: »Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!«

Then said Shechem to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this maide to wife.

5 Jakob hørte, at han havde skændet hans Datter Dina; men da hans Sønner dengang var med hans Kvæg paa Marken, tav han, til de kom hjem.

(Nowe Iaakob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sonnes were with his cattell in the fielde: therefore Iaakob helde his peace, vntill they were come.)

6 Sikems Fader Hamor gik nu til Jakob for at tale med ham.

Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out vnto Iaakob to commune with him.

7 Men da Jakobs Sønner hørte det, kom de hjem fra Marken; og Mændene græmmede sig og var saare opbragte, fordi han havde øvet Skændselsdaad i Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter; thi sligt bør ikke ske.

And whe the sonnes of Iaakob were come out of the fielde and heard it, it grieued the men, and they were very angry, because he had wrought villenie in Israel, in that he had lyen with Iaakobs daughter: which thing ought not to be done.

8 Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: »Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru

And Hamor communed with them, saying, the soule of my sonne Shechem longeth for your daughter: giue her him to wife, I pray you.

9 og indgaa Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre;

So make affinitie with vs: giue your daughters vnto vs, and take our daughters vnto you,

10 tag Ophold hos os, og Landet skal staa eder aabent; slaa eder ned og drag frit omkring og saml eder Ejendom der!«

And ye shall dwell with vs, and the lande shalbe before you: dwell, and doe your businesse in it, and haue your possessions therein.

11 Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: »Maatte jeg finde Naade for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give;

Shechem also said vnto her father and vnto her brethren, Let me finde fauour in your eyes, and I will giue whatsoeuer ye shall appoint me.

12 forlang saa høj en Brudesum og Gave, I vil; jeg giver, hvad I kræver, naar I blot vil give mig Pigen til Hustru!«

Aske of me abundantly both dowrie and giftes, and I will giue as ye appoint me, so that ye giue me the maide to wife.

13 Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi han havde skændet deres Søster Dina,

Then the sonnes of Iaakob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, talking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

14 og sagde til dem: »Vi er ikke i Stand til at give vor Søster til en uomskaaren Mand, thi det holder vi for en Skændsel.

And they said vnto them, We can not do this thing, to giue our sister to an vncircumcised man: for that were a reproofe vnto vs.

15 Kun paa det Vilkaar vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære;

But in this will we consent vnto you, if ye will be as we are, that euery man childe among you be circumcised:

16 i saa Fald vil vi give eder vore Døtre og ægte eders Døtre og bosætte os iblandt eder, saa vi bliver eet Folk;

Then will we giue our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to vs, and will dwell with you, and be one people.

17 men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, saa tager vi vor Datter og drager bort!«

But if ye will not hearken vnto vs to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and depart.

18 Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god;

Nowe their wordes pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamors sonne.

19 og den unge Mand tøvede ikke med at gøre saaledes, thi han var indtaget i Jakobs Datter, og han var den, der havde mest at sige i sin Faders Hus;

And the yong man deferd not to doe the thing because he loued Iaakobs daughter: he was also the most set by of all his fathers house.

20 og Hamor og hans Søn Sikem gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til Mændene i deres By:

Then Hamor and Shechem his Sonne went vnto the gate of their citie, and communed with the men of their citie, saying,

21 »Disse Mænd er os velsindede; lad dem bosætte sig og drage frit om her i Landet, der er jo Plads nok til dem i Landet; deres Døtre vil vi tage til Hustruer og give dem vore Døtre til Hustruer!

These men are peaceable with vs: and that they may dwell in the land, and doe their affaires therin (for behold, the land hath roume ynough for them) let vs take their daughters to wiues, and giue them our daughters.

22 Men kun paa det Vilkaar vil Mændene føje os og bosætte sig hos os, saa vi kan blive eet Folk, at alle af Mandkøn hos os lader sig omskære, saaledes som de er omskaarne.

Onely herein will the men consent vnto vs for to dwell with vs, and to be one people, if all the men children among vs be circumcised as they are circumcised.

23 Deres Hjorde og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg bliver jo dog vort; lad os derfor føje dem, saa de kan blive boende hos os!«

Shall not their flockes and their substance and all their cattell be ours? onely let vs consent herein vnto them, and they will dwell with vs.

24 Saa adlød de Hamor og hans Søn Sikem, saa mange som færdedes i hans Bys Port, og alle af Mandkøn, alle, som færdedes i hans Bys Port, lod sig omskære.

And vnto Hamor, and Shechem his sonne hearkened all that went out of the gate of his citie: and all the men children were circumcised, euen all that went out of the gate of his citie.

25 Men Tredjedagen, da de havde Saarfeber, tog Jakobs to Sønner Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd, trængte ind i Byen, uden at nogen anede Uraad, Og slog alle Mændene ihjel

And on the thirde day (when they were sore) two of the sonnes of Iaakob, Simeon and Leui, Dinahs brethren tooke either of them his sworde and went into the citie boldly, and slue euery male.

26 og dræbte Hamor og hans Søn Sikem med Sværdet, tog Dina ud af Sikems Hus og drog bort.

They slewe also Hamor and Shechem his sonne with the edge of the sword, and tooke Dinah out of Shechems house, and went their way.

27 Saa kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;

Againe the other sonnes of Iaakob came vpon the dead, and spoyled the citie, because they had defiled their sister.

28 deres Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, baade hvad der var i Byen og paa Markerne, tog de med sig,

They tooke their sheepe and their beeues, and their asses, and whatsoeuer was in the citie, and in the fieldes.

29 og al deres Ejendom og alle deres Børn og Kvinder førte de bort som Bytte, og de udplyndrede Byen for alt, hvad der var der.

Also they caryed away captiue and spoyled all their goods, and all their children and their wiues, and all that was in the houses.

30 Men Jakob sagde til Simeon og Levi: »I styrter mig i Ulykke ved at lægge mig for Had hos Landets Indbyggere, Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne; thi jeg raader kun over faa Folk; samler de sig mod mig og slaar mig, saa er det ude med mig og mit Hus!«

Then Iaakob said to Simeon and Leui, Ye haue troubled me, and made me stinke among the inhabitats of the land, aswell the Canaanites, as the Perizzites, and and I being few in nomber, they shall gather theselues together against me, and slay me, and so shall I, and my house be destroied.

31 Men de svarede: »Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!«

And they answered, Shoulde hee abuse our sister as a whore?
