Genesis 34
1 And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
Basi Dina, binti wa Yakobo aliyezaliwa na Lea, akatoka nje kuwatembelea wanawake wa nchi ile.
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.
Ikawa Shekemu mwana wa Hamori Mhivi, mtawala wa eneo lile alipomwona, akamchukua na kumnajisi.
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.
Moyo wake ukavutwa sana kwa Dina binti Yakobo, akampenda huyu msichana na akazungumza naye kwa kumbembeleza.
4 Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
Shekemu akamwambia baba yake Hamori, “Nipatie msichana huyu awe mke wangu.”
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.
Yakobo aliposikia kwamba binti yake Dina amenajisiwa, wanawe walikuwa mashambani wakichunga mifugo yake, kwa hiyo akalinyamazia jambo hilo mpaka waliporudi nyumbani.
6 And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
Kisha Hamori baba yake Shekemu akaenda kuzungumza na Yakobo.
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.
Basi wana wa Yakobo walikuwa wamerudi kutoka mashambani mara tu waliposikia kilichotokea. Walikuwa wamejawa na huzuni na ghadhabu, kwa sababu Shekemu alikuwa amefanya jambo la aibu katika Israeli kwa kukutana kimwili na binti wa Yakobo, kitu ambacho hakingepasa kufanyika.
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,
Lakini Hamori akawaambia, “Moyo wa mwanangu Shekemu umeelekea kwa binti yenu. Tafadhali mpeni awe mke wake.
9 and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
Oaneni na sisi, tupeni binti zenu, nanyi mchukue binti zetu.
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.
Mwaweza kuishi katikati yetu, nchi ni wazi kwenu. Ishini ndani yake, fanyeni biashara humu na mjipatie mali.”
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.
Kisha Shekemu akamwambia baba yake Dina pamoja na ndugu zake, “Na nipate kibali machoni penu, nami nitawapa chochote mtakachosema.
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.
Niambieni kiasi cha mahari na zawadi nitakayoileta, hata iwe kubwa kiasi gani, nami nitawalipa chochote mtakachodai. Nipeni tu huyu msichana awe mke wangu.”
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.
Kwa sababu ndugu yao Dina alikuwa amenajisiwa, wana wa Yakobo wakajibu kwa udanganyifu walipozungumza na Shekemu pamoja na baba yake Hamori.
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.
Wakawaambia, “Hatuwezi kufanya jambo kama hili, hatuwezi kumtoa dada yetu kwa mtu ambaye hakutahiriwa. Hiyo itakuwa aibu kwetu.
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.
Tutakuruhusu kwa sharti moja tu, kwamba mtakuwa kama sisi kwa kuwatahiri wanaume wenu wote.
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.
Kisha tutawapa binti zetu na sisi tutawachukua binti zenu. Tutaishi kwenu na tutakuwa watu wamoja nanyi.
17 But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
Lakini mkikataa kutahiriwa, tutamchukua ndugu yetu na kuondoka.”
18 And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
Pendekezo lao likawa jema kwa Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe.
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.
Kijana mdogo, ambaye alikuwa ameheshimiwa kati ya wote walioishi nyumbani mwa baba yake, hakupoteza muda kufanya waliyoyasema, kwa sababu alikuwa amependezwa sana na binti Yakobo.
20 And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Kwa hiyo Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe walikwenda kwenye lango la mji kuzungumza na wenzao wa mjini.
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.
Wakasema, “Hawa watu ni marafiki kwetu, tuwaruhusu waishi katika nchi yetu na kufanya biashara ndani yake, nchi ina nafasi tele kwa ajili yao. Tunaweza kuoa binti zao. Nao wanaweza kuoa binti zetu.
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.
Lakini watu hao watakuwa tayari kukubali kuishi nasi kama watu wamoja nao kwa sharti kwamba wanaume wetu watahiriwe, kama wao.
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.
Je, si mifugo yao, mali zao na wanyama wao wengine wote watakuwa wetu? Basi na tuwape kibali, nao wataishi miongoni mwetu.”
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.
Wanaume wote waliotoka nje ya lango la mji walikubaliana na Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe na kila mwanaume katika mji ule akatahiriwa.
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.
Baada ya siku tatu, wakati wote wakiwa wangali katika maumivu, wana wawili wa Yakobo, yaani Simeoni na Lawi, ndugu zake Dina, wakachukua panga zao na kuvamia mji ambao haukutazamia vita, wakaua kila mwanaume.
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.
Wakawaua Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe kwa upanga kisha wakamchukua Dina kutoka nyumba ya Shekemu na kuondoka.
27 But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
Wana wa Yakobo walipita juu ya maiti katika kuteka nyara mji ule ambamo dada yao alikuwa amenajisiwa.
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.
Wakachukua kondoo na mbuzi, ngʼombe, punda na kila kitu kilichokuwa chao ndani ya mji ule na mashambani.
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.
Walichukua utajiri wao wote pamoja na wanawake na watoto wao, wakachukua nyara kila kitu ndani ya nyumba zao.
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.
Kisha Yakobo akawaambia Simeoni na Lawi, “Mmeleta taabu kwangu kwa kunifanya ninuke kama uvundo kwa Wakanaani na Waperizi, watu waishio katika nchi hii. Sisi ni wachache, kama wakiunganisha nguvu zao dhidi yangu na kunishambulia, mimi na nyumba yangu tutaangamizwa.”
31 And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
Lakini wakamjibu, “Je, ilikuwa vyema kumtendea dada yetu kama kahaba?”
