1 Mosebog 34
1 Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 saa Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og laa hos hende; og han krænkede hende;
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
3 men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;
Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
4 og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: »Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!«
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my 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.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
6 Sikems Fader Hamor gik nu til Jakob for at tale med ham.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak 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.
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
8 Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: »Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 og indgaa Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre;
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 tag Ophold hos os, og Landet skal staa eder aabent; slaa eder ned og drag frit omkring og saml eder Ejendom der!«
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: »Maatte jeg finde Naade for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give;
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
12 forlang saa høj en Brudesum og Gave, I vil; jeg giver, hvad I kræver, naar I blot vil give mig Pigen til Hustru!«
Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
13 Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi han havde skændet deres Søster Dina,
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
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 to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 Kun paa det Vilkaar vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære;
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
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 give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, saa tager vi vor Datter og drager bort!«
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god;
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
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;
The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
20 og Hamor og hans Søn Sikem gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til Mændene i deres By:
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, 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 at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give 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.
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us 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!«
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
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.
All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
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
It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26 og dræbte Hamor og hans Søn Sikem med Sværdet, tog Dina ud af Sikems Hus og drog bort.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Saa kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, 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 took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
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.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything 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!«
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
31 Men de svarede: »Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!«
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
