1 Mosebog 34
1 Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,
Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went out to meet the young women of the land.
2 saa Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og laa hos hende; og han krænkede hende;
Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her and he grabbed her, assaulted her, and slept with her.
3 men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;
He was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.
4 og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: »Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!«
Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get this young woman for me as a 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. His sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace 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 of the matter. The men were offended. They were very angry because he had disgraced Israel by forcing himself on Jacob's daughter, for such a thing should not have been done.
8 Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: »Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru
Hamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem loves 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;
Intermarry 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 will live with us, and the land will be open to you to live and trade in, and to acquire property.”
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 eyes, and whatever you tell 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 as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to 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 answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, because Shechem 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.
They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to anyone 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: If you will become circumcised as we are, if every male among you is 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 give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live with 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 do not listen to us and become circumcised, then we will take our sister and we will leave.”
18 Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god;
Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
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 what they said, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and because he was the most honored person in all his father's household.
20 og Hamor og hans Søn Sikem gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til Mændene i deres By:
Hamor and Shechem his son went to the gate of their city and spoke with 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, so let them live in the land and trade in it for, really, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, 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 and become one people: If every male among us is 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!«
Will not their livestock and their property—all their animals be ours? So let us agree with them, and they will live 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 the men of the city listened to Hamor and Shechem, his son. Every male was circumcised.
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
On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob (Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers), each took his sword and they attacked the city that was certain of its security, and they 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 the edge of the sword. They took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
27 Saa kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;
The other sons of Jacob came to the dead bodies and looted the city, because the people 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 everything in the city and in the surrounding fields with
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.
all their wealth. All their children and their wives, they captured. They even took 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 stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. If they gather themselves together against me and attack me, then I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
31 Men de svarede: »Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!«
But Simeon and Levi said, “Should Shechem have dealt with our sister as with a prostitute?”
