Genesis 34
1 And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country.
Dina, kći koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziđe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.
2 And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin.
Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.
3 And his soul was fast knit unto her, and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words.
Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kćer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojčino srce.
4 And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife.
Šekem je govorio i svom ocu Hamoru: “Onu mi djevojku uzmi za ženu!”
5 But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back.
Jakov sazna da je Šekem obeščastio njegovu kćer Dinu. Ali kako su njegovi sinovi bili uz blago na polju, Jakov nije poduzimao ništa dok oni ne dođu.
6 And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob,
Uto dođe k Jakovu Šekemov otac Hamor da se s njim sporazumije,
7 Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob’s daughter,
upravo kad su se Jakovljevi sinovi vraćali iz polja. Kad su čuli vijest, ljudi su bili ojađeni i vrlo ljuti. Što je Šekem učinio - legavši s Jakovljevom kćeri - u Izraelu je bila sramota. To se nije smjelo trpjeti.
8 And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife:
Hamor im reče. “Moj se sin Šekem svom dušom zaljubio u vašu kćer. Dajte mu je za ženu!
9 And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters and take you our daughters,
Oprijateljite se s nama: dajite nam svoje kćeri, a naše kćeri uzimajte sebi!
10 And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess it.
Tako možete živjeti među nama; zemlja je pred vama da se naselite, u njoj se slobodno krećete i stječete imovinu!”
11 Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight: and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give.
Potom Šekem reče njezinu ocu i njezinoj braći: “Da nađem milost u vašim očima, dat ću vam što zatražite.
12 Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife.
Tražite od mene koliko hoćete: sve što god zapitate dat ću, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu.”
13 The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister:
Jakovljevi sinovi odgovore Šekemu i njegovu ocu Hamoru - govorili su s prijevarom jer je obeščastio njihovu sestru Dinu -
14 We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.
te im rekoše: “Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo čovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.
15 But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:
Jedino ćemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.
16 Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:
Onda vam možemo davati svoje kćeri i uzimati vaše sebi, s vama se naseliti i biti jedan rod.
17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart:
A ako ne pristajete na obrezanje, uzet ćemo svoju kćer i otići.”
18 Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem his son:
Hamoru i Šekemu, Hamorovu sinu, njihov se zahtjev učini povoljan.
19 And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father’s house.
Mladić nije časio da zahtjev izvrši, jer je čeznuo za Jakovljevom kćeri; a bio je najuvaženiji od svih u očevu domu.
20 And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:
Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem dođu u svoje gradsko vijeće i obrate se svojim sugrađanima ovako:
21 These men are peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.
“Ovaj je svijet prijazan; neka se među nama u zemlji nasele; neka se po njoj slobodno kreću; ima dosta prostora u zemlji za njih; možemo uzimati njihove kćeri sebi za žene, a njima davati svoje.
22 One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.
No ljudi će pristati da među nama žive i s nama budu jedan rod samo ako se svi naši muškarci obrežu kao što su oni obrezani.
23 And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.
Zar tako ne bi stoka koju su stekli, sve njihovo blago - bilo naše? Pristanimo, pa neka se među nama nasele!”
24 And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.
Svi odrasli muškarci koji imaju pravo izaći na gradska vrata poslušaše Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, pa bude obrezan svaki muškarac - svaki koji ima pravo izaći na gradska vrata.
25 And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:
A trećega dana, dok su oni još bili u bolovima, dva Jakovljeva sina, Šimun i Levi, Dinina braća, pograbe svaki svoj mač i nesmetano dođu u grad te poubijaju sve muškarce.
26 And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem’s house.
Sasijeku mačem Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, uzmu Dinu iz Šekemove kuće i odu.
27 And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape.
Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi dođu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obeščašćena.
28 And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields.
Što je bilo krupne i sitne stoke i magaradi, u gradu i u polju, otjeraju;
29 And their children and wives they took captive,
opljačkaju sva njihova dobra, a svu im djecu i žene - sve što je bilo po kućama - odvedu u roblje.
30 And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land: we are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house, shall be destroyed.
Jakov reče Šimunu i Leviju: “Uveli ste me u nepriliku omrazivši me stanovnicima zemlje, Kanaancima i Perižanima. Ako se ujedine protiv mene i napadnu me, dok je nas ovako malo na broj, istrijebit će me s mojim domom.”
31 They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet?
Oni odgovore: “Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?”
