Genesis 34
1 Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
Pea ko Taina ko e taʻahine ʻa Lia, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia Sēkope, naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau fefine ʻoe fonua.
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.
Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻa Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tangata Hevi, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne puke ia ʻo na mohe, ʻo ne fakahalaʻi ia.
3 And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
Pea pikitai hono laumālie kia Taina ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope, pea ʻofa ia ki he taʻahine, ʻo ne lea lelei ki he taʻahine.
4 And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
Pea lea ʻa Sikemi ki heʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke maʻu mai ʻae taʻahine ni ke ma mali.”
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.
Pea fanongo ʻa Sēkope kuo ne fakahalaʻi hono ʻofefine ko Taina; ka naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene fanga manu: pea longo pe ʻa Sēkope kaeʻoua ke nau haʻu.
6 Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi kia Sēkope, ke na alea mo ia.
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.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngoue; pea mamahi ʻae kau tangata ʻo nau ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai meʻa kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mohe mo e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fai.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hemoa ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku foha ko Sikemi ki ho ʻofefine: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, foaki mai ia kiate ia, ke na mali.
9 And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
Pea mou fai mali mo kimautolu, pea foaki mai homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea mou maʻu homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu.
10 And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
Pea ke tau nonofo; pea ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae fonua: mou nofo ki ai, mo fai hoʻomou fakatau, pea mou maʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻapi moʻomoutolu.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Sikemi ki he tamai [ʻae fefine ]mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻane, “ʻOfa ke u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, pea ko ia ʻoku mou tala te u foaki.
12 Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
Tala mai ʻae totongi lahi, pe ko e foaki, pea te u ʻatu ʻo hangē ko ia te mou tala kiate au, kae kehe ke foaki mai ʻae fefine ke ma mali.”
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
Pea naʻe lea fakakākā ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope kia Sikemi, mo ʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo nau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻa Taina, ko honau tuofefine:
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke foaki homau tuofefine ki ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu; he ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimautolu.
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.
Ka ʻi he meʻa ni te mau loto kiate kimoutolu: ʻo kapau te mou hoko ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.
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.
Pea te mau toki foaki homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu, pea te mau maʻu homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea te tau nonofo, pea te tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha.
17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate kimautolu ke mou kamu: pea te mau toʻo homau ʻofefine, ka mau ʻalu.”
18 Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Hemoa, mo Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa, ʻi heʻenau lea.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatuai ʻae talavou ke fai ʻae meʻa ko ia, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; pea naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ia ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai.
20 And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ki he matapā ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo nau alea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē,
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.
“ʻOku nofo fiemālie pe ʻae kau tangata ni mo kitautolu; ko ia tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua mo fai ʻenau fakatau ʻi ai: he vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu; ke tau maʻu honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke mali, pea tau foaki kiate kinautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofefine.
22 There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
Ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻe loto ai ʻae kau tangata kiate kitautolu, ke nofo mo kitautolu, ke tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha, ʻo kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku nau kamu.
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.”
ʻIkai ʻe hoko ai ʻenau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa, ko e tau ngaahi meʻa? Kae kehe ke tau loto kiate kinautolu, pea te nau nofo mo kitautolu.
24 And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
Pea naʻe tokanga kia Hemoa mo Sikemi ko hono foha, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo; pea kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hū kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo.”
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono ʻaho tolu, kuo nau mamahi, pea naʻe taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā ʻe he ongo foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sēkope, ko Simione mo Livai, ko e ongo tuongaʻane ʻo Taina, ʻo na hū mālohi ki he kolo, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē.
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea na toʻo mai ʻa Taina mei he fale ʻo Sikemi, pea nau ō ai.
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope ki he kakai mate ʻo nau maumauʻi ʻae kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakahalaʻi honau tuofefine.
28 Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
Ne nau ʻave ʻenau fanga sipi mo e nau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga ʻasi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kolo, mo e meʻa ʻi he ngoue,
29 they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
Mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē, mo nau ʻave fakapōpula ʻenau fānau iiki, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi fale.
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.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Simione mo Livai, “Kuo mo fakamamahiʻi au, ke fakanamukūʻi au, ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani mo e kakai Pelesi: ʻoku ou tokosiʻi au, pea te nau fakataha kotoa pē, ke tāmateʻi au, pea te u ʻauha, ko au, mo hoku fale.”
31 They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
Pea naʻa na pehēange kiate ia, “He naʻe lelei ʻa ʻene fai ki homa tuofefine ʻo hangē ko ha muitau?”
