< Genesis 34 >

1 Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.
अब लेआले याकूबको निम्ति जन्माएकी छोरी दीना त्यस देशका युवतीहरूसित भेट गर्न गइन् ।
2 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.
त्यस देशका रजौटा हिव्वी हमोरको छोरा शकेमले उनलाई देखी उनलाई प्रकेर लगे र उनीसित सहवास गरे ।
3 Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.
तिनी याकूबकी छोरी दीनासित मोहित भएका थिए । तिनले यी युवतीलाई प्रेम गरी स्‍नेहपूर्वक बोले ।
4 And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.
शकेमले आफ्ना पिता हमोरलाई यसो भने, “मेरी पत्‍नी हुनलाई ती युवती मलाई ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।”
5 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.
अब याकूबले आफ्नी छोरी दीनालाई शकेमले अशुद्ध पारेको कुरा सुने । तिनका छोराहरू खेतमा गाईबस्तु चराउन गएका थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरू नफर्कुञ्‍जेल याकूब चुप लागेर बसे ।
6 Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.
शकेमका पिता हमोर याकूबसित कुराकानी गर्न गए ।
7 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.
याकूबका छोराहरू खेतबाट फर्कंदा तिनीहरूले यस विषयबारे सुने । तिनीहरूलाई चोट पुगेको थियो । याकूबकी छोरीमाथि जबरजस्ती सहवास गरेर तिनले इस्राएलको बेइज्‍जत गरेकाले तिनीहरू ज्यादै रिसाए । किनकि यस्तो कुरो गरिनुहुँदैनथ्यो ।
8 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?
हमोरले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो शकेमले तपाईंकी छोरी दीनालाई माया गर्छन् । कृपया, उनलाई तिनकी पत्‍नी हुन दिनुहोस् ।
9 And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
हामीसित अन्तरजातीय विवाह गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका छोरीहरू हामीलाई दिनुहोस् र हाम्री छोरीहरू तपाईंहरूले लैजानुहोस् ।
10 Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.
तपाईंहरू हामीसितै बस्‍नुहोस् । तपाईंहरूलाई बसोबास गरी व्यापार गर्न र सम्पत्ति आर्जन गर्न यो देश खुला हुनेछ ।”
11 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.
शकेमले उनका पिता र उनका दाजुहरूलाई भने, “मलाई तपाईंहरूले निगाह गर्नुहोस्, र तपाईंहरूले मलाई जे भन्‍नुहुन्छ, म त्यही दिनेछु ।
12 However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.
तपाईंहरूलाई इच्छा लागेमुताबिक जतिसुकै दाइजो र उपहार माग्‍नुुहोस् म ती दिनेछु, तर मलाई यी युवती पत्‍नी तुल्याउनलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
13 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.
शकेमले दीनालाई अशुद्ध तुल्याएकाले याकूबका छोराहरूले शकेम र तिनका पिता हमोरलाई छलपूर्वक जवाफ दिए ।
14 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:
तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी यस्तो कुरा गर्न सक्दैनौँ । खतना नगरेको कुनै पनि व्यक्तिलाई हामी हाम्री बहिनी दिन सक्दैनौँ । किनकि त्यसो गर्दा हाम्रो बेइज्‍जत हुन्छ ।
15 But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;
यो सर्तमा मात्रै हामी तपाईंहरूसित सहमत हुनेछौः हामीजस्तै तपाईंहरूको हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।
16 Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.
तब हामी हाम्रा छोरीहरू तपाईंहरूलाई दिनेछौँ र तपाईंहरूका छोरीहरू हामी लिनेछौँ अनि हामी तपाईंहरूसित बसी एउटै जाति हुनेछौँ ।
17 But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.
तर तपाईंहरूले हाम्रो कुरा सुनेर खतना गर्नुभएन भने हामी हाम्री बहिनी लिएर जानेछौँ ।”
18 And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.
तिनीहरूको कुराले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।
19 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.
यिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा गर्न ती युवकले ढिला गरेनन् किनकि तिनी याकूबकी छोरीसित मोहित भएका थिए, र तिनी आफ्ना पिताको घरानामा सबैभन्दा इज्‍जतदार व्यक्ति थिए ।
20 Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,
हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेम तिनीहरूको सहरको द्वारमा गएर सहरका मानिसहरूलाई भने,
21 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.
“यी मानिसहरू शान्तिप्रिय छन् । त्यसैले यिनीहरू हामीसितै बसोबास गरी व्यापार गरून् किनकि वास्तवमा हाम्रो देश तिनीहरूका लागि पनि ज्यादै ठुलो छ । तिनीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई पत्‍नी बनाउनलाई लिऔँ र तिनीहरूलाई हाम्रा छोरीहरू दिऔँ ।
22 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.
यो सर्तमा मात्रै ती मानिसहरू हामीसित बसी एउटै जाति हुन सहमत छन्: तिनीहरूजस्तै हाम्रो हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।
23 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.
के तिनीहरूका सबै गाईबस्तु र सम्पत्ति अर्थात् जनावरहरू हाम्रा हुनेछैनन् र? त्यसैले तिनीहरूसित सहमत होऔँ र तिनीहरू हामीसित बसून् ।”
24 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.
सहरका सबै मानिसले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमको कुरा माने, अनि हरेक पुरुषको खतना गरियो ।
25 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.
तेस्रो दिनमा तिनीहरू अझै दर्दमा हुँदा याकूबका दुई जना छोरा शिमियोन र लेवी (दीनाका दाजुहरू) ले आ-आफ्नो तरवार लिई आफ्नो सुरक्षामा ढुक्‍क रहेको सहरमाथि आक्रमण गरी सबै पुरुषलाई मारे ।
26 And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
तिनीहरूले तरवारले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले दीनालाई शकेमको घरबाट लिएर गए ।
27 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;
याकूबका अन्य छोराहरू मरेकाहरूकहाँ आई सहरलाई लुटे किनकि ती मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूकी बहिनीलाई अशुद्ध बनाएका थिए ।
28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,
तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका बगालहरू, बथानहरू, गधाहरू, सबै सम्पत्ति र सहरमा भएको हरेक थोक लिएर गए ।
29 And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.
तिनीहरूका सबै केटाकेटी र पत्‍नीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कैद गरे । घरहरूभित्र भएको हरेक थोक पनि तिनीहरूले कब्जा गरे ।
30 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.
याकूबले शिमियोन र लेवीलाई भने, “यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू अर्थात् कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूका सामु मलाई अप्रिय तुल्याएर तिमीहरूले ममाथि सङ्कष्‍ट ल्याएका छौ । मेरा मानिसहरू थोरै छन् तिनीहरू एकै ठाउँमा जम्मा भई ममाथि आक्रमण गरे भने म र मेरो घराना नष्‍ट हुनेछौँ ।
31 But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
तर शिमियोन र लेवीले भने, “के शकेमले हाम्री बहिनीलाई वेश्यालाई जस्तै व्यवहार गर्नहुन्छ?”
