Genesis 34
1 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,
2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
så Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og lå hos hende; og han krænkede hende;
3 And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;
4 So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: "Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!"
5 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.
Jakob hørte, at han havde skændet hans Datter Dina; men da hans Sønner dengang var med hans Kvæg på Marken, tav han, til de kom hjem.
6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
Sikems Fader Hamor gik nu til Jakob for at tale med ham.
7 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.
Men da Jakobs Sønner hørte det, kom de hjem fra Marken; og Mændene græmmede sig og var såre opbragte, fordi han havde øvet Skændselsdåd i Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter; thi sligt bør ikke ske.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: "Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru
9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
og indgå Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre;
10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
tag Ophold hos os, og Landet skal stå eder åbent; slå eder ned og drag frit omkring og saml eder Ejendom der!"
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: "Måtte jeg finde Nåde for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give
12 Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
forlang så høj en Brudesum og Gave, I vil; jeg giver, hvad I kræver, når I blot vil give mig Pigen til Hustru!"
13 But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi. han havde skændet deres Søster Dina,
14 “We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
og sagde til dem: "Vi er ikke i Stand til at give vor Søster til en uomskåren Mand, thi det holder vi for en Skændsel.
15 We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
Kun på det Vilkår vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære;
16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
i så Fald vil vi give eder vore Døtre og ægte eders Døtre og bosætte os iblandt eder, så vi bliver eet Folk;
17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, så tager vi vor Datter og drager bort"
18 Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god;
19 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.
og den unge Mand tøvede ikke med at gøre således, thi han var indtaget i Jakobs Datter, og han var den, der havde mest at sige i sin Faders Hus
20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
og Harnor og hans Søn Siken gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til, Mændene i deres By:
21 “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.
"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 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.
Men kun på det Vilkår vil Mændene føje os og bosætte sig hos os, så vi kan blive eet Folk, at alle af Mandkøn hos os lader sig omskære, således som de er omskårne.
23 Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”
Deres Hjorde og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg bliver jo dog vort; lad os derfor føje dem, så de kan blive boende hos os!"
24 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.
Så adlød de Hamor og hans Søn Sikem, så mange som færdedes i hans Bys Port, og alle af Mandkøn, alle, som færdedes i hans Bys Port, lod sig omskære.
25 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.
Men Tredjedagen, da de havde Sårfeber, tog Jakobs to Sønner Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd, trængte ind i Byen, uden at nogen anede Uråd, og slog alle Mændene ihjel
26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
og dræbte Hamor og hans Søn Sikem med Sværdet, tog Dina ud af Sikems Hus og drog bort.
27 Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
Så kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;
28 They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
deres Småkvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, både hvad der var i Byen og på Markerne, tog de med sig,
29 They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
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 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.”
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 råder kun over få Folk; samler de sig mod mig og slår mig, så er det ude med mig og mit Hus!"
31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
Men de svarede: "Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!"
