Chakruok 34
1 Chiengʼ moro Dina, nyar Jakobo mane Lea onywolone nodhi limo nyi pinyno.
And Dina the daughter of Lia 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 Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin.
3 Chunye nokete kuom Dina nyar Jakobo omiyo nohere kendo nowuoyo kode gi ngʼwono mathoth.
And his soul was fast knit unto her, and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words.
4 Kendo Shekem nowacho ni wuon mare Hamor niya, “Nyuomna nyakoni obed chiega.”
And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife.
5 Kane Jakobo owinjo ni Dina nyare osedwany to ne ok owacho gimoro nyaka yawuote noduogo dala koa kwayo jambe.
But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back.
6 Eka Hamor ma wuon Shekem nodhi mowuoyo gi Jakobo.
And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to 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.
Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob’s daughter,
8 To Hamor nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Wuoda Shekem chunye oseketo kuom nyari. Asayi yie ichiw nyari obed jaod Shekem.
And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife:
9 Wakend nyiu to un bende ukend nyiwa.
And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters and take you our daughters,
10 Unyalo dak e dierwa; pinyni en maru dagieuru, timeuru ohala kendo uyudieuru giu uwegi.”
And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess it.
11 Eka Shekem nowacho ne wuon Dina kod owete Dina niya, “timnauru ngʼwono kendo abiro miyou gimoro amora ma ukwayo.”
Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight: and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give.
12 Nyisauru gik ma onego anyuomnu kata ma onego amiu kaka uhero, kendo abiro chulou gimoro amora ma ukwaya ka uyie miye nyaminu.
Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife.
13 Yawuot Jakobo nodwoko Shekem gi Hamor wuon mare ka giwuondore nikech Shekem nosedwanyo Dina nyamin-gi.
The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister:
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 what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.
15 Wabiro yienu mana ka utimo gimoro achielni: mondo ubed kaka wan ka utero yawuotu duto nyangu.
But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:
16 Eka wabiro miyou nyiwa kendo wan bende wabiro kawo nyiu. Wabiro dak kodu kendo wabiro bedo oganda achiel.
Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:
17 To ka ok unyal yie mondo oteru nyangu to wabiro kawo nyaminwa mi wadhigo.”
But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart:
18 Gima negiwachono nonenore maber ne Hamor kod wuode Shekem.
Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem his son:
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 the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father’s house.
20 Kuom mano Hamor gi wuode Shekem nodhi e dhoranga dalagi mondo giwuo gi jothurgi.
And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:
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 peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.
22 Ok ginyal yie dak kodwa mondo wabed oganda achiel kodgi makmana ka chwo duto oter nyangu mana kaka gin.
One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.
23 Donge kwethgi, gi gigegi kod jambgi duto biro bedo mawa? Omiyo ka wayie timo kamano eka giniyie dak kodwa.”
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.
24 Ji duto mane odhi e dhoranga dala noyie gi Hamor kod Shekem wuode kendo chwo duto mane ni e dalano noter nyangu.
And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.
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.
And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:
26 Neginego Hamor gi Shekem wuode, eka negigolo Dina e od Shekem mi giago.
And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem’s house.
27 Yawuot Jakobo mamoko nomonjo joma ne owetegi osenego mi giyako dala maduongʼni nikech jogo nosekuodo wi nyamin-gi.
And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape.
28 Negipeyo kwethgi gi dhogi gi pundegi kod gigegi duto mane ni e dala kod mago mane ni oko e pap.
And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields.
29 Negikawo mwandugi duto, mondgi duto, nyithindgi duto kod gik moko duto mane ni e udi.
And their children and wives they took captive,
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 when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land: we are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house, shall be destroyed.
31 To negidwoko wuon-gi niya, “Bende en gima ber mondo timne nyaminwa tim marach mane otimne cha?”
They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet?
