Genesis 34
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Basi Dina, Binti wa Lea aliyemzalia Yakobo, akaenda kuwaona wasichana wa nchi.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
Shekemu mwana wa Hamori Mhivi, mwana mfalme wa nchi, akamwona na akamkamata kwa nguvu na kulala naye.
3 And his soul joined to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
Akavutiwa na Dina, binti Yakobo. Akampenda msichana na kuongea naye kwa upole.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
Shekemu akamwambia Hamori baba yeke, kusema, “Nipe msichana huyu kuwa mke wangu.”
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
Basi Yakobo akasikia kwamba alikuwa amemchafua Dina binti yake. Wanawe walikuwa pamoja na wanyama uwandani, hivyo Yakaobo akawangoja hata walipokuja.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
Hamori baba wa Shekemu akaenda kuongea na Yakobo.
7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had worked folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter: which thing should not to be done.
Wana wa Yakobo waliposikia neno hili wakaja kutoka uwandani. Watu hawa walichukizwa sana. Walikasirika sana kwa sababu alikuwa amemwaibisha Israeli kwa kumlazimisha binti wa Yakobo, kwa maana jambo kama hilo halikupasa kutendeka.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
Hamori akaongea nao, akisema, “Shekemu mwanangu anampenda binti yenu. Tafadhari mpeni kuwa mke wake.
9 And make you marriages with us, and give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
Mwoane nasi, tupeni binti zenu, na mjichukulie binti zetu kwa ajili yenu wenyewe.
10 And you shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade you therein, and get you possessions therein.
Mtaishi nasi, na nchi itakuwa wazi kwa ajili yenu kufanya biashara humo, na kupata mali.”
11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what you shall say to me I will give.
Shekemu akamwambia baba yake na ndugu zake, “Na nione kibari machoni penu, na chochote mtakachoniambia nitatoa.
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as you shall say to me: but give me the damsel to wife.
Niambieni kiasi kikubwa chochote cha mahari na zawadi kama mtakavyo, nami nitatoa chochote msemacho, lakini mnipe msichana kuwa mke wangu.”
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
Wana wa Yakobo wakamjibu Shekemu na Hamori baba yake kwa hila, kwa sababu Shekemu alikuwa amemnajisi Dina dada yao.
14 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach to us:
Wakawambia, “Hatuwezi kufanya jambo hili, kumpa dada yetu mtu yeyote ambaye hajatailiwa; kwani hiyo ni aibu kwetu.
15 But in this will we consent to you: If you will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
Kwa sharti hili peke yake tutakubaliana nanyi: iwapo mtatailiwa kama sisi, ikiwa kila mtu mme miongoni mwenu atatailiwa.
16 Then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
Ndipo tutakapowapa binti zetu, nasi tutachukua binti zenu kwetu sisi wenyewe, na tutaishi nanyi na kuwa wamoja.
17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
Lakini kama hamtusikilizi na kutailiwa, ndipo tutakapomchukua dada yetu na kuondoka.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
Maneno yao yakawafurahisha Hamori na Shekemu mwanaye.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
Kijana hakukawia kufanya walichokisema, kwa maana alipendezwa na binti Yakobo, na kwa sababu alikuwa mtu aliyeheshimiwa sana katika nyumba ya babaye.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
Hamori na Shekemu mwanaye wakaenda katika lango la mji wao na kuongea na watu wa mji, kusema,
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
“Watu hawa wanaamani nasi, hivyo na waishi katika nchi na kufanya biashara humo kwa maana, kweli, nchi ni kubwa ya kuwatosha. Haya na tuwachukue binti zao kuwa wake, nasi tuwape binti zetu.
22 Only herein will the men consent to us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Kwa shariti hili pekee watu hawa wanakubali kuishi nasi na kuwa wamoja: ikiwa kila mwanamme miongoni mwetu atatailiwa, kama wao.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
Je wanyama wao na vitu vyao - wanyama wao wote kuwa wetu? Haya na tukubaliane nao, nao wataishi kati yetu.”
24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son listened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
Watu wote wa mji wakamsikiliza Hamori na Shekemu, mwanaye. Kila mwanamme akatailiwa.
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 brothers, took each man his sword, and came on the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Katika siku ya tatu, walipokuwa katika maumivu bado, wawili wa wana wa Yakobo (Simoni na Lawi, kaka zake Dina), wakachukua kila mmoja upanga wake na kuushambulia mji ambao ulikuwa na uhakika wa ulinzi wake, nao wakauwa wanamme wote.
26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
Wakamwua Hamori na Shekemu kwa makali ya upanga. Wakamchukua Dina kutoka nyumba ya Shekemu na kuondoka.
27 The sons of Jacob came on the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Wale wana wengine wa Yakobo wakaja kwa maiti na kuuteka nyara mji, kwa sababu watu wale walikuwa wamemnajisi dada yao.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
Wakachukua makundi yao ya kondoo, mbuzi, punda, na kila kitu ndani ya mji na viunga vyake
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
utajiri wote. Watoto na wake zao wote, wakawachukua. Hata wakachukua kila kitu kilichokua katika nyumba.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Yakobo akawambia Simoni na Lawi, “Mmeleta shida juu yangu, kunifanya ninuke kwa wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani na Waperizi. Mimi nina watu wachache. Ikiwa watajikusanya pamoja kinyume changu na kunishambulia.”
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
Lakini Simoni na Lawi wakasema, “Je Shekemu alipaswa kumtendea dada yetu kama kahaba?”
