< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe, Dina mũirĩtu ũrĩa Lea aaciarĩire Jakubu, nĩathiire gũceerera andũ-a-nja a bũrũri ũcio.
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.
Na rĩrĩa Shekemu mũrũ wa Hamoru ũrĩa Mũhivi, mũnene wa gĩcigo kĩu aamuonire, akĩmũnyiita, agĩkoma nake na hinya.
3 And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
Na ngoro yake ĩkĩguucĩrĩrio nĩ Dina mwarĩ ũcio wa Jakubu, na akĩenda mũirĩtu ũcio na akĩmwarĩria wega.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
Nake Shekemu akĩĩra ithe Hamoru atĩrĩ, “Njarĩrĩria harĩ ithe wa mũirĩtu ũyũ atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
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.
Rĩrĩa Jakubu aiguire atĩ mwarĩ Dina nĩarĩkĩtie gũthũkio-rĩ, na tondũ ariũ ake maarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ na mahiũ make, agĩkira na ũhoro ũcio o nginya rĩrĩa mainũkire.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to converse with him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu agĩthiĩ kwaria na Jakubu.
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.
Nao ariũ a Jakubu nĩmainũkĩte kuuma mĩgũnda-inĩ maigua ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte. Nao makĩiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha na mangʼũrĩ, tondũ Shekemu nĩekĩte ũndũ wa thoni thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, nĩ gũkoma na mwarĩ wa Jakubu, ũndũ ũrĩa ũtagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkwo.
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.
No Hamoru akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya mũrũ wakwa Shekemu nĩĩguucĩrĩirio nĩ mwarĩ wanyu. Ndamũthaitha ĩtĩkĩrai amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.
9 And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
Rekei tũhikanagie; mũtũheage airĩtu anyu na inyuĩ tũkamũheaga airĩtu aitũ.
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.
Inyuĩ no mũtũũre hamwe na ithuĩ; bũrũri ũyũ gũtirĩ handũ mũrigĩrĩirio. Tũũrai kuo, mwonjorithagie kuo, na mwĩgĩĩre na indo ciaguo.”
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.
Ningĩ Shekemu akĩĩra ithe wa Dina na ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Rekei njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ manyu na nĩngũmũhe o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩnjĩtia.
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.
Njĩtiai rũracio rwa mũhiki na kĩheo kĩrĩa ingĩrehe, o mũigana ũrĩa mũngĩenda, na nĩngũrĩha o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩnjĩtia. No ndamũthaitha mũũhe mũirĩtu ũyũ atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Na tondũ mwarĩ wa nyina Dina nĩarĩkĩtie gũthũkio-rĩ, ariũ a Jakubu rĩrĩa maaragia na Shekemu na ithe Hamoru, magĩcookia ũhoro ũcio na njĩra ya maheeni.
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.
Makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩĩka ũndũ ta ũcio; tũtingĩheana mwarĩ witũ kũrĩ mũndũ ũtarĩ mũruu. Ũndũ ũcio no ũtuĩke wa gũtũnyararithia.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised.
Tũkũmwĩtĩkĩria tondũ wa gĩtũmi o kĩmwe tu; inyuĩ mũtuĩke ta ithuĩ na ũndũ wa kũruithia arũme anyu othe.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũrĩhikagia airĩtu aitũ na nĩtũrĩhikagia airĩtu anyu. Nĩtũgũtũũrania na inyuĩ na tũtuĩke andũ amwe.
17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
No angĩkorwo mũtigwĩtĩkĩra kũrua-rĩ, tũkuoya mwarĩ witũ twĩthiĩre.”
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Ũhoro ũcio ũkĩoneka ũrĩ mwega nĩ Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu.
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.
Tondũ nĩwe warĩ mũtĩĩe mũno kũrĩ andũ othe a nyũmba ya ithe, mwanake ũcio ndaateire ihinda rĩa gwĩka ũrĩa moigire, tondũ nĩakenetio nĩ mwarĩ wa Jakubu.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and conversed with the men of their city, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu magĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩao inene makaarie na andũ ao a itũũra rĩu.
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.
Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya nĩ arata aitũ; rekei matũũre bũrũri-inĩ witũ na monjorithagie kuo; bũrũri ũyũ nĩ mũnene wa kũmaigana. Ithuĩ no tũhikie airĩtu ao, nao no mahikie airĩtu aitũ.
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.
No andũ acio mangĩtĩkĩra gũtũũrania na ithuĩ ta rũrĩrĩ rũmwe angĩkorwo arũme aitũ othe nĩmekũrua, o ta ũrĩa o maruĩte.
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.
Githĩ mahiũ mao, na indo ciao ciothe, o na nyamũ iria ingĩ ciao ciothe itigũgĩtuĩka ciitũ? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rekei tũmetĩkĩre, na nĩ megũtũũrania na ithuĩ.”
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.
Arũme arĩa othe maathiĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene magĩĩtĩkania na Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu, na arũme othe a itũũra rĩu makĩrua.
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.
Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa othe maarĩ na ruo ariũ eerĩ a Jakubu, Simeoni na Lawi, ariũ a nyina na Dina, makĩoya hiũ ciao cia njora magĩtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa rĩtekũũaga makĩũraga arũme othe.
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.
Ningĩ makĩũraga Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makĩruta Dina nyũmba-inĩ ya Shekemu, magĩĩthiĩra.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Ariũ arĩa angĩ a Jakubu magĩkinya kũu ciimba ciarĩ, na magĩĩtahĩra indo cia itũũra rĩu mwarĩ wa ithe wao aathũkĩirio.
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,
Nao magĩtaha ndũũru cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe na ndigiri, na indo iria ingĩ ciao ciothe iria ciarĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, na iria ciarĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ.
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.
Na magĩkuua ũtonga wothe wa itũũra, na atumia othe na ciana, magĩtaha indo ciothe iria ciarĩ nyũmba-inĩ icio.
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.
Nake Jakubu akĩĩra Simeoni na Lawi atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwandehera thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa gũtũma menwo nĩ Akaanani na Aperizi, andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũyũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ anini tũgĩtarwo, na mangĩnyiitana manjũkĩrĩre na matharĩkĩre-rĩ, niĩ na nyũmba yakwa no tũniinwo.”
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkũraagĩrĩire atue mwarĩ wa maitũ ta mũmaraya?”
