< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
E saiu Dinah filha de Leah, que parira a Jacob, para ver as filhas da terra.
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.
E Sichem filho de Hemor heveu, príncipe daquela terra, viu-a, e tomou-a, e deitou-se com ela, e humilhou-a.
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.
E apegou-se a sua alma com Dinah filha de Jacob, e amou a moça e falou afetuosamente à moça.
4 Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
Falou também Sichem a Hemor seu pai, dizendo: Toma-me esta por mulher.
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.
Quando Jacob ouviu que contaminara a Dinah sua filha, estavam os seus filhos no campo com o gado; e calou-se Jacob até que viessem.
6 And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
E saiu Hemor pai de Sichem a Jacob, para falar com ele.
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.
E vieram os filhos de Jacob do campo, ouvindo isso, e entristeceram-se os varões, e iraram-se muito, porquanto fizera doidice em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacob; o que não se devia fazer assim.
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,
Então falou Hemor com eles, dizendo: A alma de Sichem meu filho está namorada da vossa filha; dai-lha, peço-te, por mulher;
9 and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
E aparentai-vos conosco, dai-nos as vossas filhas, e tomai as nossas filhas para vós;
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.
E habitareis conosco; e a terra estará diante da vossa face: habitai e negociai nela, e tomai possessão nela.
11 And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you shall name.
E disse Sichem ao pai dela, e aos irmãos dela: Ache eu graça em vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes:
12 Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as you shall say to me, only you shall give me this damsel for a wife.
Aumentai muito sobre mim o dote e a dádiva, e darei o que me disserdes; dai-me somente a moça por mulher.
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.
Então responderam os filhos de Jacob a Sichem e a Hemor seu pai enganosamente, e falaram, porquanto havia contaminado a Dinah sua irmã.
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.
E disseram-lhes: Não podemos fazer isso, que déssemos a nossa irmã a um varão não circuncidado; porque isso seria uma vergonha para nós;
15 Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell amongst you, if you also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
Nisso, porém, consentiremos a vós: se fordes como nós, que se circuncide todo o macho entre vós
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.
Então dar-vos-emos as nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas filhas, e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo;
17 But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
Mas se não nos ouvirdes, e não vos circuncidardes, tomaremos a nossa filha e ir-nos-emos.
18 And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
E suas palavras foram boas aos olhos de Hemor, e aos olhos de Sichem filho de Hemor.
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.
E não tardou o mancebo em fazer isto; porque a filha de Jacob lhe contentava: e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.
20 And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Veio pois Hemor e Sichem seu filho à porta da sua cidade, e falaram aos varões da sua cidade, dizendo:
21 These men are peaceful, 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.
Estes varões são pacíficos conosco; portanto habitarão nesta terra, e negociarão nela; eis que a terra é larga de espaço diante da sua face: tomaremos nós as suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas filhas
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.
Nisto, porém, consentirão aqueles varões, de habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo, se todo o macho entre nós se circuncidar, como eles são circuncidados.
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.
O seu gado, as suas possessões, e todos os seus animais não serão nossos? consintamos somente com eles, e habitarão conosco.
24 And all that went in at the gate of their city listened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
E deram ouvidos a Hemor, e a Sichem seu filho todos os que saiam da porta da cidade; e foi circuncidado todo o macho, de todos os que saiam pela porta da sua cidade.
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 killed every male.
E aconteceu que, ao terceiro dia, quando estavam com a mais violenta dor, os dois filhos de Jacob, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Dinah, tomaram cada um a sua espada, e entraram afoitamente na cidade, e mataram todo o macho.
26 And they killed Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
Mataram também ao fio da espada a Hemor, e a seu filho Sichem; e tomaram a Dinah da casa de Sichem, e sairam.
27 But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
Vieram os filhos de Jacob aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto contaminaram a sua irmã.
28 And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatever were in the city, and whatever were in the plain.
As suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e os seus jumentos, e o que na cidade, e o que no campo havia, tomaram,
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.
E toda a sua fazenda, e todos os seus meninos, e as suas mulheres levaram presas, e despojaram-as, e tudo o que havia em casa.
30 And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both amongst 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.
Então disse Jacob a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me turbado, fazendo-me cheirar mal entre os moradores desta terra, entre os Cananeus e Phereseus, sendo eu pouco povo em número; ajuntar-se-ão, e ficarei destruído, eu e minha casa.
31 And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
E eles disseram: Faria pois ele a nossa irmã como a uma prostituta?
