Genesis 34
1 Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
Alò, Dina, fi Léa te fè pou Jacob la te sòti pou vizite fi peyi yo nan kote sa a.
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.
Lè Sichem, fis Hamor a, Evyen an, prens nan peyi a te wè li, li te pran li, e pa lafòs, li te kouche avèk li.
3 And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
Li te vrèman atire a Dina, fi Jacob la. Li te renmen fi a, e li te pale ak dousè avè l.
4 And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
Alò, Sichem te pale avèk papa l Hamor. Li te di: “Fè m jwenn jèn fi sa a pou madanm.”
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.
Alò, Jacob te tande ke li te vyole Dina, fi li a, men fis li yo te avèk bèt yo nan chan an. Alò, li te rete san pale jis lè yo te vin antre.
6 Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
Hamor, papa a Sichem, te vin deyò a pou pale avèk li.
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.
Alò, fis a Jacob yo te sòti nan chan an lè yo te tande koze sa a. Konsa, mesye yo te blese. Yo te vin byen fache, akoz ke li te fè yon choz meprizab an Israël lè li te kouche avèk fi Jacob la, paske yon bagay konsa pa t dwe fèt.
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.
Men Hamor te pale avèk yo. Li te di: “Nanm fis mwen an, Sichem anvi fi ou a anpil. Pou sa, silvouplè, ba li li pou yo marye.
9 And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
Annou marye yo youn pou lòt. Bay fi ou yo a nou menm, e pran fi nou yo pou ou menm.
10 And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
Konsa, ou va viv avèk nou, e peyi a va vin ouvri devan nou. Viv ladann, e fè afè nou yo ladann.”
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.
Sichem te di osi a papa ak frè a Dina, “Kite mwen twouve favè nan zye nou. Konsa, mwen va bannou nenpòt sa ke nou mande m.
12 Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
Mande m tan kòm pèyman avèk kado, e mwen va bannou nenpòt sa nou mande mwen, men ban mwen fi a pou marye.”
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
Konsa, fis Jacob yo te reponn Sichem avèk papa li Hamor avèk desepsyon, akoz ke li te vyole Dina, sè yo a.
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.
Yo te di yo: “Nou pa kapab fè bagay sa a, pou bay sè nou an a yon moun ki pa sikonsi. Sa ta yon wont pou nou tout.
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.
Sou yon sèl kondisyon nou ta kapab dakò: si nou va vini tankou nou. Sa vle di ke chak mal nan nou ta vin sikonsi.
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.
Konsa, nou va bay sè nou yo a nou menm, nou va viv avèk nou e vin yon sèl pèp.
17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
Men si nou pa koute nou pou vin sikonsi, alò, n ap pran sè nou an e ale.”
18 Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
Alò, pawòl pa yo a te parèt rezonab a Hamor avèk Sichem, fis Hamor a.
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.
Jennonm sa a pa t pèdi tan pou fè bagay la, paske li te tèlman kontan avèk fi Jacob la. Epi li te jwenn respe depase tout moun ki lakay papa li a.
20 And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
Konsa, Hamor, avèk fis li a, Sichem te vini nan pòtay vil yo, li te pale avèk mesye nan vil yo, e li te di:
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.
“Moun sa yo se zanmi nou yo ye; pou sa, annou kite yo viv nan peyi a pou fè komès ladann, paske, gade byen, peyi a ase gran pou yo. Annou pran fi yo an maryaj, e bay fi nou yo a yo menm.
22 There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
“Se sèl sou kondisyon sa a ke moun sa yo va vin dakò pou vin viv avèk nou, pou vin yon sèl pèp; ke chak mal pami nou vin sikonsi tankou yo menm tou deja sikonsi a.
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.”
Se pa ke bèt, byen ak tout zannimo yo va vin pou nou? Sèlman annou vin dakò avèk yo, e yo va viv avèk nou.”
24 And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
Tout sa yo ki te sòti nan pòtay lavil la te koute Hamor, avèk fis li a, Sichem. Konsa, chak mal te sikonsi, tout moun ki te sòti nan pòtay vil la.
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.
Alò, li te rive nan twazyèm jou a, lè yo te nan doulè, de nan fis a Jacob yo, Siméon avèk Lévi, frè a Dina yo, yo chak te pran nepe yo. Yo te vini sou vil la san yo pa konnen, e yo te touye tout mal yo.
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
Yo te touye Hamor avèk fis li a, Sichem, avèk lam file a nepe yo. Yo te pran Dina soti lakay Sichem nan, e yo te ale.
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.
Fis Jacob yo te vini sou mò yo. Yo te piyaje vil la akoz ke yo te vyole sè yo a.
28 Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
Yo te pran bann mouton, twoupo ak bourik, sa ki te nan vil la, ak sa ki te nan chan an.
29 they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
Epi yo te kaptire e piyaje tout byen yo, tout pitit yo, madanm yo, menm tout sa ki te lakay yo.
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.”
Alò Jacob te di a Siméon avèk Lévi: “Nou vin pote pwoblèm pou mwen akoz ke nou fè m vin rayi pa abitan peyi yo, pami Kananeyen avèk Ferezyen yo. Epi akoz ke gason nou yo pa anpil, yo va rasanble kont mwen, pou atake mwen, e mwen va vin detwi, mwen menm avèk tout lakay mwen.”
31 They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
Men yo te di: “Èske yo ta dwe trete sè nou an tankou yon pwostitiye?”
