1 Mosebog 34
1 Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,
Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters 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 the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3 men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;
His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
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 lady 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; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. 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 talk 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 done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that 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
Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for 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;
Make 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 shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions 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 favour in your eyes, and whatever you will 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 a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady 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 when they spoke, 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 said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach 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 consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of 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 give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will 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 sister, and we will be gone.”
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 didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
20 og Hamor og hans Søn Sikem gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til Mændene i deres By:
Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked 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 peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s 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 consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male amongst 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!«
Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with 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 listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; 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
On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon 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 Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Saa kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;
Jacob’s sons came on 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, that which was in the city, that which 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 house.
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 troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, amongst the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Men de svarede: »Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!«
They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
