< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
E saiu Dinah filha de Leah, que parira a Jacob, para ver as filhas da terra.
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.
E Sichem filho de Hemor heveu, príncipe daquela terra, viu-a, e tomou-a, e deitou-se com ela, e humilhou-a.
3 And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.
E apegou-se a sua alma com Dinah filha de Jacob, e amou a moça e falou afetuosamente à moça.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.
Falou também Sichem a Hemor seu pai, dizendo: Toma-me esta por mulher.
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.
Quando Jacob ouviu que contaminara a Dinah sua filha, estavam os seus filhos no campo com o gado; e calou-se Jacob até que viessem.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.
E saiu Hemor pai de Sichem a Jacob, para falar com ele.
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.
E vieram os filhos de Jacob do campo, ouvindo isso, e entristeceram-se os varões, e iraram-se muito, porquanto fizera doidice em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacob; o que não se devia fazer assim.
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.
Então falou Hemor com eles, dizendo: A alma de Sichem meu filho está namorada da vossa filha; dai-lha, peço-te, por mulher;
9 And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
E aparentai-vos conosco, dai-nos as vossas filhas, e tomai as nossas filhas para vós;
10 And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.
E habitareis conosco; e a terra estará diante da vossa face: habitai e negociai nela, e tomai possessão nela.
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.
E disse Sichem ao pai dela, e aos irmãos dela: Ache eu graça em vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes:
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.
Aumentai muito sobre mim o dote e a dádiva, e darei o que me disserdes; dai-me somente a moça por mulher.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke — because he had defiled Dinah their sister —
Então responderam os filhos de Jacob a Sichem e a Hemor seu pai enganosamente, e falaram, porquanto havia contaminado a Dinah sua irmã.
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.
E disseram-lhes: Não podemos fazer isso, que déssemos a nossa irmã a um varão não circuncidado; porque isso seria uma vergonha para nós;
15 But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;
Nisso, porém, consentiremos a vós: se fordes como nós, que se circuncide todo o macho entre vós
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.
Então dar-vos-emos as nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas filhas, e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo;
17 But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.
Mas se não nos ouvirdes, e não vos circuncidardes, tomaremos a nossa filha e ir-nos-emos.
18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
E suas palavras foram boas aos olhos de Hemor, e aos olhos de Sichem filho de Hemor.
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.
E não tardou o mancebo em fazer isto; porque a filha de Jacob lhe contentava: e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Veio pois Hemor e Sichem seu filho à porta da sua cidade, e falaram aos varões da sua cidade, dizendo:
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.
Estes varões são pacíficos conosco; portanto habitarão nesta terra, e negociarão nela; eis que a terra é larga de espaço diante da sua face: tomaremos nós as suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas filhas
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.
Nisto, porém, consentirão aqueles varões, de habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo, se todo o macho entre nós se circuncidar, como eles são circuncidados.
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.
O seu gado, as suas possessões, e todos os seus animais não serão nossos? consintamos somente com eles, e habitarão conosco.
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.
E deram ouvidos a Hemor, e a Sichem seu filho todos os que saiam da porta da cidade; e foi circuncidado todo o macho, de todos os que saiam pela porta da sua cidade.
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.
E aconteceu que, ao terceiro dia, quando estavam com a mais violenta dor, os dois filhos de Jacob, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Dinah, tomaram cada um a sua espada, e entraram afoitamente na cidade, e mataram todo o macho.
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.
Mataram também ao fio da espada a Hemor, e a seu filho Sichem; e tomaram a Dinah da casa de Sichem, e sairam.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Vieram os filhos de Jacob aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto contaminaram a sua irmã.
28 Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what [was] in the city, and what [was] in the field they took;
As suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e os seus jumentos, e o que na cidade, e o que no campo havia, tomaram,
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.
E toda a sua fazenda, e todos os seus meninos, e as suas mulheres levaram presas, e despojaram-as, e tudo o que havia em casa.
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.
Então disse Jacob a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me turbado, fazendo-me cheirar mal entre os moradores desta terra, entre os Cananeus e Phereseus, sendo eu pouco povo em número; ajuntar-se-ão, e ficarei destruído, eu e minha casa.
31 And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
E eles disseram: Faria pois ele a nossa irmã como a uma prostituta?
