Genesis 34

1 Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

Pea ko Taina ko e taʻahine ʻa Lia, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia Sēkope, naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau fefine ʻoe fonua.

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.

Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻa Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tangata Hevi, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne puke ia ʻo na mohe, ʻo ne fakahalaʻi ia.

3 Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

Pea pikitai hono laumālie kia Taina ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope, pea ʻofa ia ki he taʻahine, ʻo ne lea lelei ki he taʻahine.

4 And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

Pea lea ʻa Sikemi ki heʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke maʻu mai ʻae taʻahine ni ke ma mali.”

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.

Pea fanongo ʻa Sēkope kuo ne fakahalaʻi hono ʻofefine ko Taina; ka naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene fanga manu: pea longo pe ʻa Sēkope kaeʻoua ke nau haʻu.

6 Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi kia Sēkope, ke na alea mo ia.

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.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngoue; pea mamahi ʻae kau tangata ʻo nau ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai meʻa kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mohe mo e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fai.

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?

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hemoa ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku foha ko Sikemi ki ho ʻofefine: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, foaki mai ia kiate ia, ke na mali.

9 And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

Pea mou fai mali mo kimautolu, pea foaki mai homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea mou maʻu homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu.

10 Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

Pea ke tau nonofo; pea ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae fonua: mou nofo ki ai, mo fai hoʻomou fakatau, pea mou maʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻapi moʻomoutolu.”

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.

Pea pehē ʻe Sikemi ki he tamai [ʻae fefine ]mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻane, “ʻOfa ke u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, pea ko ia ʻoku mou tala te u foaki.

12 However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

Tala mai ʻae totongi lahi, pe ko e foaki, pea te u ʻatu ʻo hangē ko ia te mou tala kiate au, kae kehe ke foaki mai ʻae fefine ke ma mali.”

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.

Pea naʻe lea fakakākā ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope kia Sikemi, mo ʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo nau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻa Taina, ko honau tuofefine:

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:

Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke foaki homau tuofefine ki ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu; he ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimautolu.

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;

Ka ʻi he meʻa ni te mau loto kiate kimoutolu: ʻo kapau te mou hoko ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.

16 Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

Pea te mau toki foaki homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu, pea te mau maʻu homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea te tau nonofo, pea te tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha.

17 But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate kimautolu ke mou kamu: pea te mau toʻo homau ʻofefine, ka mau ʻalu.”

18 And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.

Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Hemoa, mo Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa, ʻi heʻenau lea.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatuai ʻae talavou ke fai ʻae meʻa ko ia, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; pea naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ia ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai.

20 Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ki he matapā ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo nau alea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē,

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.

“ʻOku nofo fiemālie pe ʻae kau tangata ni mo kitautolu; ko ia tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua mo fai ʻenau fakatau ʻi ai: he vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu; ke tau maʻu honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke mali, pea tau foaki kiate kinautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofefine.

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.

Ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻe loto ai ʻae kau tangata kiate kitautolu, ke nofo mo kitautolu, ke tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha, ʻo kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku nau kamu.

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.

‌ʻIkai ʻe hoko ai ʻenau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa, ko e tau ngaahi meʻa? Kae kehe ke tau loto kiate kinautolu, pea te nau nofo mo kitautolu.

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.

Pea naʻe tokanga kia Hemoa mo Sikemi ko hono foha, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo; pea kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hū kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo.”

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono ʻaho tolu, kuo nau mamahi, pea naʻe taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā ʻe he ongo foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sēkope, ko Simione mo Livai, ko e ongo tuongaʻane ʻo Taina, ʻo na hū mālohi ki he kolo, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē.

26 And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea na toʻo mai ʻa Taina mei he fale ʻo Sikemi, pea nau ō ai.

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;

Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope ki he kakai mate ʻo nau maumauʻi ʻae kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakahalaʻi honau tuofefine.

28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

Ne nau ʻave ʻenau fanga sipi mo e nau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga ʻasi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kolo, mo e meʻa ʻi he ngoue,

29 And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

Mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē, mo nau ʻave fakapōpula ʻenau fānau iiki, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi fale.

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.

Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Simione mo Livai, “Kuo mo fakamamahiʻi au, ke fakanamukūʻi au, ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani mo e kakai Pelesi: ʻoku ou tokosiʻi au, pea te nau fakataha kotoa pē, ke tāmateʻi au, pea te u ʻauha, ko au, mo hoku fale.”

31 But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?

Pea naʻa na pehēange kiate ia, “He naʻe lelei ʻa ʻene fai ki homa tuofefine ʻo hangē ko ha muitau?”
