< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Og Dina, Leas Datter, som hun havde født Jakob, gik ud for at se paa Landets Døtre.
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
Og Sikem, Landsherren Hemor den Heviters Søn, saa hende, og han tog hende og laa hos hende og krænkede hende.
3 And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.
Og hans Hjerte hængte ved Dina, Jakobs Datter, og han havde Pigen kær og talede kærligen med Pigen.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.
Og Sikem talede til sin Fader, Hemor, og sagde: Tag mig denne Pige til Hustru!
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.
Og Jakob havde hørt, at han havde skændet Dina, hans Datter, og hans Sønner vare med hans Kvæg paa Marken, og Jakob tav, indtil de kom.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.
Og Hemor, Sikems Fader, gik ud til Jakob at tale med ham.
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard [it]; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
Og Jakobs Sønner kom fra Marken, der de hørte det, og Mændene forbitredes og bleve saare vrede; thi han havde gjort en Daarlighed mod Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter, og saaledes burde det ikke ske.
8 And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.
Da talede Hemor med dem og sagde: Min Søn Sikems Hjerte har Lyst til eders Datter; kære, giver ham hende til Hustru,
9 And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
og gører Svogerskab med os; giver os eders Døtre, og tager eder vore Døtre!
10 And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.
Og I skulle bo hos os, og Landet skal være for eders Aasyn, bor og handler deri, tager eder Ejendom i det!
11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes; and what ye shall say to me I will give.
Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og til hendes Brødre: Lad mig finde Naade for eders Øjne, og jeg vil give, hvad I ville sige til mig.
12 Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife.
Begærer saare meget af mig til Morgengave og Skænk, og jeg vil give, efter som I sige mig, men giver mig Pigen til Hustru!
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke — because he had defiled Dinah their sister —
Da svarede Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hemor svigagtigen og talede med dem, fordi han havde skændet Dina, deres Søster,
14 and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach to us.
og de sagde til dem: Vi kunne ikke gøre denne Gerning, at give vor Søster til en Mand, som har Forhud; thi det er en Forsmædelse for os.
15 But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;
Dog ville vi være eder til Villie i dette, dersom I ville blive som vi, saa I lade alt Mandkøn hos eder omskære.
16 then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.
Og vi ville give eder vore Døtre og tage os eders Døtre og bo hos eder, og vi ville være eet Folk.
17 But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.
Men dersom I ikke ville høre os i at lade eder omskære, da ville vi tage vor Datter og drage bort.
18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Og deres Tale behagede Hemor og Sikem, Hemors Søn.
19 And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father.
Og den unge Karl tøvede ikke med at gøre denne Gerning; thi han havde Lyst til Jakobs Datter, og han var æret fremfor hele sin Faders Hus.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Saa kom Hemor og Sikem, hans Søn, til deres Stads Port og talede til deres Bymænd og sagde:
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land — behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters.
disse Mænd ere fredsommelige hos os og ville bo i Landet og handle deri, og se, Landet er vidt nok for dem; vi ville tage os deres Døtre til Hustruer og give dem vore Døtre.
22 But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people — if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.
Dog i saa Maade ville Mændene være os til Villie med at bo hos os og blive eet Folk med os, om vi ville omskære alt Mandkøn iblandt os, lige som de ere omskaarne.
23 Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
Deres Fæ og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg, blive de ikke vore? ikkun at vi ere dem til Villie, da ville de bo hos os.
24 And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised — all that went out at the gate of his city.
Og de løde Hemor og hans Søn Sikem, alle de, som gik ud af hans Stads Port, og alt Mandkøn lod sig omskære, alle som gik ud af hans Stads Port.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Og det skete paa den tredje Dag, der de havde Smerter, da toge de to Jakobs Sønner, Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd og kom ind i den trygge Stad, og de sloge alt Mandkøn ihjel.
26 And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.
Og de sloge Hemor og hans Søn, Sikem, ihjel med skarpe Sværd og toge Dina af Sikems Hus og gik bort.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Saa kom Jakobs Sønner over de ihjelslagne og plyndrede Staden, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster.
28 Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what [was] in the city, and what [was] in the field they took;
Deres Kvæg og deres Øksen og deres Asener, baade hvad der var i Staden, og hvad der var paa Marken, toge de.
29 and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses.
Og al deres Formue og alle deres Børn og deres Kvinder fangede og røvede de, og alt, hvad der var i Huset.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land — among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Da sagde Jakob til Simeon og Levi: I have forstyrret mig, idet I gjorde mig stinkende for dette Lands Indbyggere, for Kananiten og Feresiten, og jeg er en liden Hob, og de kunne samle sig imod mig og slaa mig, og jeg maatte ødelægges, jeg og mit Hus.
31 And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
Og de sagde: Mon han skulde handle med vor Søster som med en Skøge?
