Genesis 34
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,
2 And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. And he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
saa Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og laa hos hende; og han krænkede hende;
3 And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: »Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!«
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. And his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob held his peace until they came.
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.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to converse with him.
Sikems Fader Hamor gik nu til Jakob for at tale med ham.
7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
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.
8 And Hamor conversed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. I pray you, give her to him to wife.
Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: »Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru
9 And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
og indgaa Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre;
10 And ye shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade ye in it, and get possessions for you in it.
tag Ophold hos os, og Landet skal staa eder aabent; slaa eder ned og drag frit omkring og saml eder Ejendom der!«
11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me I will give.
Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: »Maatte jeg finde Naade for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give;
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me, but give me the damsel to wife.
forlang saa høj en Brudesum og Gave, I vil; jeg giver, hvad I kræver, naar I blot vil give mig Pigen til Hustru!«
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi han havde skændet deres Søster Dina,
14 and said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a reproach to us.
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.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised.
Kun paa det Vilkaar vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære;
16 Then we will 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.
i saa Fald vil vi give eder vore Døtre og ægte eders Døtre og bosætte os iblandt eder, saa vi bliver eet Folk;
17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, saa tager vi vor Datter og drager bort!«
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god;
19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honored above all the house of his father.
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;
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and conversed with the men of their city, saying,
og Hamor og hans Søn Sikem gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til Mændene i deres By:
21 These men are peaceable with us, therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it, for, behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
»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!
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
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.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
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!«
24 And all who went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
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.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and killed all the males.
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
26 And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went forth.
og dræbte Hamor og hans Søn Sikem med Sværdet, tog Dina ud af Sikems Hus og drog bort.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Saa kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;
28 They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
deres Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, baade hvad der var i Byen og paa Markerne, tog de med sig,
29 and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, they took captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.
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.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. And, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
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!«
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
Men de svarede: »Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!«
