Chakruok 34

1 Chiengʼ moro Dina, nyar Jakobo mane Lea onywolone nodhi limo nyi pinyno.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

2 Kane Shekem wuod Hamor ja-Hivi ma jatend gwengʼno, nonene, nomake moterore kode.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

3 Chunye nokete kuom Dina nyar Jakobo omiyo nohere kendo nowuoyo kode gi ngʼwono mathoth.

Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

4 Kendo Shekem nowacho ni wuon mare Hamor niya, “Nyuomna nyakoni obed chiega.”

And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

5 Kane Jakobo owinjo ni Dina nyare osedwany to ne ok owacho gimoro nyaka yawuote noduogo dala koa kwayo jambe.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

6 Eka Hamor ma wuon Shekem nodhi mowuoyo gi Jakobo.

Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk 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.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to 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, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?

9 Wakend nyiu to un bende ukend nyiwa.

And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 Unyalo dak e dierwa; pinyni en maru dagieuru, timeuru ohala kendo uyudieuru giu uwegi.”

Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

11 Eka Shekem nowacho ne wuon Dina kod owete Dina niya, “timnauru ngʼwono kendo abiro miyou gimoro amora ma ukwayo.”

And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.

12 Nyisauru gik ma onego anyuomnu kata ma onego amiu kaka uhero, kendo abiro chulou gimoro amora ma ukwaya ka uyie miye nyaminu.

However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

13 Yawuot Jakobo nodwoko Shekem gi Hamor wuon mare ka giwuondore nikech Shekem nosedwanyo Dina nyamin-gi.

But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

14 Negiwachonegi niya, “Ok wanyal timo gima kamano; ok wanyal chiwo nyaminwa ne ngʼama ok oter nyangu, mano dibed wichkuot ne wan.

And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

15 Wabiro yienu mana ka utimo gimoro achielni: mondo ubed kaka wan ka utero yawuotu duto nyangu.

But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

16 Eka wabiro miyou nyiwa kendo wan bende wabiro kawo nyiu. Wabiro dak kodu kendo wabiro bedo oganda achiel.

Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

17 To ka ok unyal yie mondo oteru nyangu to wabiro kawo nyaminwa mi wadhigo.”

But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

18 Gima negiwachono nonenore maber ne Hamor kod wuode Shekem.

And their words were pleasing 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.

And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

20 Kuom mano Hamor gi wuode Shekem nodhi e dhoranga dalagi mondo giwuo gi jothurgi.

Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

21 Negiwachonegi niya, “Jogi gin osiepewa. We gidag e pinywa kendo gilokie; pinywani duongʼ moromogi. Wanyalo kendo nyigi kendo gin bende ginyalo kendo nyiwa.

It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

22 Ok ginyal yie dak kodwa mondo wabed oganda achiel kodgi makmana ka chwo duto oter nyangu mana kaka gin.

But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

23 Donge kwethgi, gi gigegi kod jambgi duto biro bedo mawa? Omiyo ka wayie timo kamano eka giniyie dak kodwa.”

Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

24 Ji duto mane odhi e dhoranga dala noyie gi Hamor kod Shekem wuode kendo chwo duto mane ni e dalano noter nyangu.

Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

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.

But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

26 Neginego Hamor gi Shekem wuode, eka negigolo Dina e od Shekem mi giago.

And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from 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.

And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

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 their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

29 Negikawo mwandugi duto, mondgi duto, nyithindgi duto kod gik moko duto mane ni e udi.

And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

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.”

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

31 To negidwoko wuon-gi niya, “Bende en gima ber mondo timne nyaminwa tim marach mane otimne cha?”

But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
