Genesis 34
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had born unto Jacob, went out to look about among the daughters of the land.
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liæ ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
2 And Shechem the son of Chamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and did her violence.
Quam cum vidisset Sichem filius Hemor Hevæi, princeps terræ illius, adamavit eam: et rapuit, et dormivit cum illa, vi opprimens virginem.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke kindly unto the maiden.
Et conglutinata est anima ejus cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 And Shechem spoke unto Chamor his father, saying, Get me this girl for wife.
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum: Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc conjugem.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
Quod cum audisset Jacob absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 And Chamor the father of Shechem went out unto to Jacob to speak with him.
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Jacob,
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it, and the men were grieved, and it excited their anger greatly; because he had wrought a disgraceful thing in Israel to lie with the daughter of Jacob, and this ought not to be done.
ecce filii ejus veniebant de agro: auditoque quod acciderat, irati sunt valde, eo quod fœdam rem operatus esset in Israël et, violata filia Jacob, rem illicitam perpetrasset.
8 And Chamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of Shechem my son longeth for your daughter; give her, I pray you, unto him for wife.
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhæsit anima filiæ vestræ: date eam illi uxorem:
9 And intermarry with us; your daughters ye shall give unto us, and our daughters ye may take unto yourselves.
et jungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite,
10 And with us shall ye dwell; and the land shall be open before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and acquire possessions therein.
et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est: exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brother, Let me but find grace in your eyes, and whatever ye may say unto me, I will give.
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres ejus ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quæcumque statueritis, dabo:
12 Ask of me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me; but give me the maiden for wife.
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Chamor his father with cunning, and spoke; because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
Responderunt filii Jacob Sichem et patri ejus in dolo, sævientes ob stuprum sororis:
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach unto us.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 But on this condition will we consent unto you; if ye will become as we are, that every male of you be circumcised:
Sed in hoc valebimus fœderari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omne masculini sexus;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters unto us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and go our way.
Si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 And their words were pleasing in the eyes of Chamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Chamor.
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio ejus,
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter; and he was the most honored of all the house of his father.
nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret: amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.
20 And Chamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
21 These men are peaceably inclined with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; and the land, behold, it is large enough on all sides before them; their daughters we will take unto us for wives, and our daughters we will give unto them.
Viri isti pacifici sunt, et volunt habitare nobiscum: negotientur in terra, et exerceant eam, quæ spatiosa et lata cultoribus indiget: filias eorum accipiemus uxores, et nostras illis dabimus.
22 Only with this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
23 Their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs will they not be ours? only let us consent unto them, that they may dwell with us.
Et substantia eorum, et pecora, et cuncta quæ possident, nostra erunt: tantum in hoc acquiescamus, et habitantes simul, unum efficiemus populum.
24 And unto Chamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and all the males were circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
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 his sword, and came upon the city unresisted and slew all the males.
Et ecce, die tertio, quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est: arreptis duo filii Jacob, Simeon et Levi fratres Dinæ, gladiis, ingressi sunt urbem confidenter: interfectisque omnibus masculis,
26 And they slew Chamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword; and they took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Jacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
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.
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quæ in domibus et in agris erant,
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled; and all that was in the house.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
30 And Jacob said unto Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to cause me to be hated among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and as I am but few in number, they may gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I would be destroyed, I and my house.
Quibus patratis audacter, Jacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi: Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananæis, et Pherezæis habitatoribus terræ hujus: nos pauci sumus; illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
