1 Chiengʼ moro Dina, nyar Jakobo mane Lea onywolone nodhi limo nyi pinyno.
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
2 Kane Shekem wuod Hamor ja-Hivi ma jatend gwengʼno, nonene, nomake moterore kode.
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
3 Chunye nokete kuom Dina nyar Jakobo omiyo nohere kendo nowuoyo kode gi ngʼwono mathoth.
And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
4 Kendo Shekem nowacho ni wuon mare Hamor niya, “Nyuomna nyakoni obed chiega.”
So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5 Kane Jakobo owinjo ni Dina nyare osedwany to ne ok owacho gimoro nyaka yawuote noduogo dala koa kwayo jambe.
Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent about it until they returned.
6 Eka Hamor ma wuon Shekem nodhi mowuoyo gi Jakobo.
Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7 Kane yawuot Jakobo owinjo gima nosetimore, negidwogo dala mapiyo nono ka gia kuonde mag kwath. Igi nowangʼ ahinya kendo negikuyo, nikech tim anjawo mane Shekem osetimo ni Dina nyamin-gi e piny Israel, tim mamono ma ok owinjore.
When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
8 To Hamor nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Wuoda Shekem chunye oseketo kuom nyari. Asayi yie ichiw nyari obed jaod Shekem.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Wakend nyiu to un bende ukend nyiwa.
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Unyalo dak e dierwa; pinyni en maru dagieuru, timeuru ohala kendo uyudieuru giu uwegi.”
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
11 Eka Shekem nowacho ne wuon Dina kod owete Dina niya, “timnauru ngʼwono kendo abiro miyou gimoro amora ma ukwayo.”
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12 Nyisauru gik ma onego anyuomnu kata ma onego amiu kaka uhero, kendo abiro chulou gimoro amora ma ukwaya ka uyie miye nyaminu.
Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
13 Yawuot Jakobo nodwoko Shekem gi Hamor wuon mare ka giwuondore nikech Shekem nosedwanyo Dina nyamin-gi.
But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14 Negiwachonegi niya, “Ok wanyal timo gima kamano; ok wanyal chiwo nyaminwa ne ngʼama ok oter nyangu, mano dibed wichkuot ne wan.
“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
15 Wabiro yienu mana ka utimo gimoro achielni: mondo ubed kaka wan ka utero yawuotu duto nyangu.
We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
16 Eka wabiro miyou nyiwa kendo wan bende wabiro kawo nyiu. Wabiro dak kodu kendo wabiro bedo oganda achiel.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
17 To ka ok unyal yie mondo oteru nyangu to wabiro kawo nyaminwa mi wadhigo.”
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
18 Gima negiwachono nonenore maber ne Hamor kod wuode Shekem.
Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Omiyo Shekem mane omi duongʼ e od wuon-gi, ne ok odeko timo gima ne yawuot Jakobo owacho, nikech nomor gi Dina nyar Jakobo.
The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
20 Kuom mano Hamor gi wuode Shekem nodhi e dhoranga dalagi mondo giwuo gi jothurgi.
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
21 Negiwachonegi niya, “Jogi gin osiepewa. We gidag e pinywa kendo gilokie; pinywani duongʼ moromogi. Wanyalo kendo nyigi kendo gin bende ginyalo kendo nyiwa.
“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.
22 Ok ginyal yie dak kodwa mondo wabed oganda achiel kodgi makmana ka chwo duto oter nyangu mana kaka gin.
But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.
23 Donge kwethgi, gi gigegi kod jambgi duto biro bedo mawa? Omiyo ka wayie timo kamano eka giniyie dak kodwa.”
Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”
24 Ji duto mane odhi e dhoranga dala noyie gi Hamor kod Shekem wuode kendo chwo duto mane ni e dalano noter nyangu.
All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.
25 Bangʼ ndalo adek kane pod gin kod rem, yawuot Jakobo ariyo, Simeon kod Lawi mowete Dina, nokawo gigegi mag lweny mi gidonjo e dala jogo apoya kendo ginego joma chwo duto.
Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.
26 Neginego Hamor gi Shekem wuode, eka negigolo Dina e od Shekem mi giago.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Yawuot Jakobo mamoko nomonjo joma ne owetegi osenego mi giyako dala maduongʼni nikech jogo nosekuodo wi nyamin-gi.
Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 Negipeyo kwethgi gi dhogi gi pundegi kod gigegi duto mane ni e dala kod mago mane ni oko e pap.
They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
29 Negikawo mwandugi duto, mondgi duto, nyithindgi duto kod gik moko duto mane ni e udi.
They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
30 Eka Jakobo nowacho ne Simeon gi Lawi niya, “Usekelona chandruok maduongʼ ka umiya nying marach e kind jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi, ma weg pinyni. Wan ji manok, kendo kagiriworenwa mondo giked kodwa e lweny, to an kod oda ibiro tieka.”
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 To negidwoko wuon-gi niya, “Bende en gima ber mondo timne nyaminwa tim marach mane otimne cha?”
But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
