Genesis 34
1 Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
肋阿給雅各伯生的女兒狄納，要去看看當地的女人。
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of that land, had seen her, he fell in love with her. And so he seized her and slept with her, overwhelming the virgin by force.
當地酋長希威人哈摩爾的兒子舍根看見她，就抓住她，強姦了她，玷辱了她。
3 And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
他的心迷戀雅各伯的女兒狄納，深愛這少女，說寬慰她心的話。
4 And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
事後，舍根向自己的父親哈摩爾說：「請給我娶這少女為妻。」
5 But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.
雅各伯聽見舍根污辱了女兒狄納，但因他的兒子們那時正在鄉間看守他的牲畜，所以沒有作聲，等他們回來。
6 Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
舍根的父親哈摩爾前來見雅各伯，與他商議。
7 behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.
那時雅各伯的兒子已由鄉間回來，一聽見這消息，就人人憤恨，非常惱怒，因為有人對以色列做出了這樣的醜事：竟與雅各伯的女兒同臥；這是不應該做的。
8 And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.
哈摩爾與他們商議說：「我兒舍根的心迷戀你們的女兒，請你們將她嫁給他為妻。
9 And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
你們可與我們互通婚姻：將你們的女兒嫁給我們，你們也可娶我們的女兒；
10 And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
這樣你們可同我們住在一起，本地都擺在你們面前，你們可在其中居住、行動、置業。」
11 And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.
舍根也對狄納的父親和她的兄弟們說：「只要我在你們眼中蒙恩，凡你們要求的，我必依從。
12 Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
任憑你們向我要多少聘金和禮品，我必照你們提出的交付，只要你們將這少女給我為妻。」
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
雅各伯的兒子因為舍根污辱了他們的妹妹狄納，就用欺詐的話答覆舍根和他父親哈摩爾，
14 “We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.
說：「將我們的妹妹嫁給一個沒有受割損的人，為我們實是一大恥辱，我們不能這樣作。
15 But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.
除非有這個條件，我們不能同意：你們都應和我們一樣，使你們中所有的男子都受割損；
16 Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
以後我們可將我們的女兒嫁給你們，我們也可娶你們的女兒；我們與你們住在一起，成為一個民族。
17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
如果你們不肯聽從我們而受割損，我們就帶著我們的女兒離去。」
18 Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
哈摩爾和他的兒子舍根認為他們的建議很好。
19 Neither did the young man cause any delay; in fact he immediately fulfilled what was requested. For he loved the girl very much, and he was well-known throughout his father’s house.
這少年毫不遲延地要照這建議進行，因為他喜愛雅各伯的女兒，更何況他還是他父親全家族中最重要的人物。
20 And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
哈摩爾和自己的兒子舍根於是來到城門口，向本城的人提議說：「
21 “These men are peaceful, and they want to live among us. Let them trade in the land and cultivate it, for, being spacious and broad, it is in need of cultivation. We will receive their daughters as wives, and we will give them ours.
這些人對我們很和善，讓他們住在本地內，在這裏活動；本地原很廣闊，足夠容納他們。我們可娶他們的女兒為妻，也可將我們的女兒嫁給他們。
22 There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
但是，這些人只有一個條件，才同意與我們住在一起，形成一個民族：就是我們中所有的男子都應受割損，如同他們受了割損一樣。
23 And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, will be ours, if only we will acquiesce to this, and so, in living together, will form one people.”
這樣，他們的家畜和財產，以及一切牲口，豈不都歸了我們! 只要我們同意，他們就肯同我們住在一起。」
24 And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
凡由城門出入的人，都聽從了哈摩爾和他的兒子舍根的話；由城門出入的男子，都受了割損。
25 And behold, on the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, boldly entered the city with swords. And they put to death all of the males.
第三天他們正疼痛難忍時，雅各伯的兩個兒子，狄納的哥哥西默盎和肋未，各自拿了一把刀，不慌不忙進了城，殺了所有的男子；
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
又用刀殺了哈摩爾和他的兒子舍根，由舍根房內領出狄納而去。
27 And when they had departed, the other sons of Jacob rushed over the slain, and they plundered the city in vengeance for the rape.
雅各伯其餘的兒子因了自己的妹妹受污，乘人被殺就前來洗劫城邑，
28 Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
奪去了他們的羊群、牛群和驢，並城內和鄉間所有的一切。
29 they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
凡是他們的財物，連他們所有的孩子和婦女都擄了去；凡屋內所有的一切，都奪了去。
30 When they had boldly completed these acts, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: “You have troubled me, and you have made me hateful to the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few. They, gathering themselves together, may strike me down, and then both I and my house will be wiped away.”
雅各伯事後對西默盎和肋未說：「你們害了我，使我在本地的居民，即客納罕人和培黎齊人中，成了個可恨的人。我的人數少，如果他們聯合起來反對我，攻擊我，那末我和我全家就必同歸於盡。」
31 They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
他們回答說：「難道人應待我們的妹妹如同一個妓女﹖」
