< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
Leah canu Dinah Jakop e a yu ni a khe pouh e hah haw e ram dawk e tanglanaw hmu han a ngai dawkvah a pai.
2 And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
Hiv tami, haw e siangpahrang Hamor capa Shekhem ni a hmu, a man teh a ikhai teh a min a mathoe sak.
3 And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.
A hringnae teh Jakop canu Dinah koe dueng a lungthin ao, hote tangla teh a lungpatawpoung dawk lawk kahawi hoi dueng a pato.
4 Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
Shekhem ni a na pa Hamor koe, hote tangla hah kai hane yu lah na paluen pouh, telah ati.
5 And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.
Jakop ni a canu Dinah hah Shekhem ni a khin sak tie hah a panue, a capanaw hah law vah saringhu hoi a i awh teh, a tho hoehroukrak teh Jakop duem ao.
6 And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
Shekhem e a na pa Hamor teh Jakop pato hanelah a cei.
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.
Jakop capanaw ni a thai awh tahma vah law hoi a ban awh. Jakop canu a ikhai e hoi, Isarelnaw thungvah kayayeirai sak hane hoi, sak hoeh hane kawi yonnae a sak dawkvah, a lungmathoe awh teh a lung pueng hoi a khuek awh.
8 And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,
Hateiteh, Hamor ni a pato teh ka capa Shekhem a hringnae teh na canu e lathueng dueng doeh ao, pahren lahoi a yu hanelah paluen sak leih.
9 and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
Kâpaluen awh sei, na canunaw na paluen sak awh haw, kaimae canu hai paluen van awh.
10 And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.
Kaimouh koe na o awh vaiteh ram hai moi kalen lah ao doeh. Hivah awm awh nateh hno yawt awh nateh, moikapap tawnta awh telah ati.
11 And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever ye shall name.
Shekhem ni tangla e na pa hoi a thangroinaw koevah na pahren awh loe. Kai koe na dei awh e pueng na poe awh han.
12 Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as ye shall say to me, only ye shall give me this damsel for a wife.
Aphu hoi poehno teh na hei awh e yit touh na poe awh han. Bangtelah nakunghai tangla teh yu lah na paluen sak awh telah ati.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.
Hateiteh, Jakop capanaw ni a canu Dinah a khinsak awh dawkvah, Shekhem hoi a na pa Hamor teh dumnae lahoi bout a dei pouh awh.
14 And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.
Ahnimouh ni ahnimanaw koe vuensom ka a hoeh e naw koe ka canu na poe thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot hateh kaimouh hanelah min mathoenae doeh.
15 Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if ye also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
Hateiteh, hettelah lawk na kâkam awh torei dueng doeh, nangmae lawk hah ka hnâbawt awh ti, nangmouh koe e tongpa pueng hah vuensoma awh nateh kaimanaw patetlah awm awh.
16 And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.
Hat toteh, kaimae canu na paluen sak vaiteh, kaimouh ni hai nangmae canunaw hai ka paluen van awh han. Hahoi nangmouh koe ka o awh vaiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh han.
17 But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
Hateiteh, kaimae lawk na ngai awh hoeh lah, vuensom na a awh hoehpawiteh, ka canu ka la vaiteh ka cei awh han toe telah ati.
18 And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
Hahoi ahnimae lawk ni Hamor hoi Hamor capa Shekhem hah a lunghawi sak.
19 And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honourable of all in his father's house.
Hottelah thoundoun ni Jakop canu hah a ngai lawi vah, hothateh moikasaw e lah pouk laipalah tang a sak, ahni teh a na pa imthungnaw thung dawkvah bari poung e lah ao.
20 And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a kho kalupnae longkha koe a pha awh teh, kho thung e taminaw hoi a kâpato awh.
21 These men are peaceable, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.
Hote taminaw hoi maimouh hoi karoumcalah hoi kho a sak awh. Hatdawkvah hete ram dawk kho a sak awh vaiteh, hivah hno yawt awh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh han ram akawpoung doeh. A canunaw hah yu lah paluen awh vaiteh, maimae canunaw hai yu lah paluen van awh naseh.
22 Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.
Hateiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh thai nahan, hettelah lawkkam awh torei dueng doeh ahnimouh ni hnâ na bo khai hanelah ao, vuensom ka a awh e patetlah mamouh thung e tongpa pueng hai vuensoma awh sei.
23 And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.
Ahnimae saringnaw, hnopainaw hoi a tawnta e naw pueng teh, maimae lah be kaawm han nahoehmaw. Ahnimae lawk teh hnâbawtkhai awh sei. Hottelah hoi maimouh koe kho a sak awh han telah ati awh.
24 And all that went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a dei e hah kalupnae rapan koe kâen ka tâcawt e pueng ni a hnâbokhai awh teh, longkha koe kâen ka tâcawt e tongpa pueng teh vuensom koung a a sak awh.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male.
Hahoi hettelah doeh. A apâthum hnin a pataw poungnae dawk Jakop capanaw thung hoi kahni touh e, Dinah e a thangroi Simeon hoi Levih ni amamouh roi e tahloi a sin roi teh arulahoi khopui a tuk roi teh tongpa pueng he a thei roi.
26 And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem hai tahloi hoi a thei awh. Shekhem im dawk e Dinah hah a tâcokhai awh teh a cei awh.
27 But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
Jakop capanaw ni a thei awh e naw koe a pha awh van teh, a tawncanu a kamhnawng sin dawkvah khopui teh a raphoe awh.
28 And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain.
A tuhunaw, maitohunaw, lahunaw hoi amamouh kho e kaawm e hnopainaw hah a la pouh awh.
29 And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.
A hnopainaw, a canaw hoi a yunaw imthungkhu kaawm e pueng hah he a lawp awh teh be a raphoe awh.
30 And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
Jakop ni Simeon hoi Levih koevah nangmanaw ni hete ram dawk e taminaw hoi Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw kecu dawkvah, kai heh min mathoenae na phu sak teh, lung na mathoe sak. Kai ka younca navah kai taranlahoi kamkhueng awh vaiteh, kai hoi ka imthungnaw hah na thet awh vaiteh, he na pahma awh han doeh telah ati.
31 And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni kaimae tawncanu heh, kâyawt e napui patetlah a sak han na maw telah ati awh.
