Genesis 34
1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liæ ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
2 and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, sees her, and takes her, and lies with her, and humbles her;
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 cleaves to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loves the young person, and speaks to the heart of the young person.
Et conglutinata est anima ejus cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a wife.”
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum: Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc conjugem.
5 And Jacob has heard that he has defiled his daughter Dinah, and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob kept silent until their coming.
Quod cum audisset Jacob absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak with him;
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Jacob,
7 and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he has done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob—and so it is not 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 Hamor speaks with them, saying, “Shechem, my son, his soul has cleaved to your daughter; please give her to him for a wife,
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhæsit anima filiæ vestræ: date eam illi uxorem:
9 and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
et jungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite,
10 and you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est: exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
11 And Shechem says to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which you say to me, I give;
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres ejus ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quæcumque statueritis, dabo:
12 multiply on me dowry and gift exceedingly, and I give as you say to me, and give to me the young person for a wife.”
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
Responderunt filii Jacob Sichem et patri ejus in dolo, sævientes ob stuprum sororis:
14 and say to them, “We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who has a foreskin, for it [is] a reproach to us.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
Sed in hoc valebimus fœderari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omne masculini sexus;
16 then we have given our daughters to you, and we take your daughters for ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus.
17 and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
Si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio ejus,
19 and the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he is honorable above 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 Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying,
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
21 “These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, behold, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to 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 for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
23 their livestock, and their substance, and all their beasts—are they not ours? Only let us consent to them, and they 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 to Hamor, and to his son Shechem, do all those going out of the gate of his city listen, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
25 And it comes to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
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 Hamor, and his son Shechem, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and go out.
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Jacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
28 their flock and their herd, and their donkeys, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quæ in domibus et in agris erant,
29 and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
30 And Jacob says to Simeon and to Levi, “You have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have struck me, and I have been 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 say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
