< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
Pea ko Taina ko e taʻahine ʻa Lia, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia Sēkope, naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau fefine ʻoe fonua.
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;
Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻa Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tangata Hevi, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne puke ia ʻo na mohe, ʻo ne fakahalaʻi ia.
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.
Pea pikitai hono laumālie kia Taina ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope, pea ʻofa ia ki he taʻahine, ʻo ne lea lelei ki he taʻahine.
4 And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a wife.”
Pea lea ʻa Sikemi ki heʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke maʻu mai ʻae taʻahine ni ke ma mali.”
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.
Pea fanongo ʻa Sēkope kuo ne fakahalaʻi hono ʻofefine ko Taina; ka naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene fanga manu: pea longo pe ʻa Sēkope kaeʻoua ke nau haʻu.
6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak with him;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi kia Sēkope, ke na alea mo ia.
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.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngoue; pea mamahi ʻae kau tangata ʻo nau ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai meʻa kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mohe mo e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fai.
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,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hemoa ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku foha ko Sikemi ki ho ʻofefine: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, foaki mai ia kiate ia, ke na mali.
9 and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
Pea mou fai mali mo kimautolu, pea foaki mai homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea mou maʻu homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu.
10 and you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
Pea ke tau nonofo; pea ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae fonua: mou nofo ki ai, mo fai hoʻomou fakatau, pea mou maʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻapi moʻomoutolu.”
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;
Pea pehē ʻe Sikemi ki he tamai [ʻae fefine ]mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻane, “ʻOfa ke u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, pea ko ia ʻoku mou tala te u foaki.
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.”
Tala mai ʻae totongi lahi, pe ko e foaki, pea te u ʻatu ʻo hangē ko ia te mou tala kiate au, kae kehe ke foaki mai ʻae fefine ke ma mali.”
13 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
Pea naʻe lea fakakākā ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope kia Sikemi, mo ʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo nau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻa Taina, ko honau tuofefine:
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke foaki homau tuofefine ki ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu; he ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimautolu.
15 Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
Ka ʻi he meʻa ni te mau loto kiate kimoutolu: ʻo kapau te mou hoko ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.
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;
Pea te mau toki foaki homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu, pea te mau maʻu homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea te tau nonofo, pea te tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha.
17 and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate kimautolu ke mou kamu: pea te mau toʻo homau ʻofefine, ka mau ʻalu.”
18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Hemoa, mo Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa, ʻi heʻenau lea.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatuai ʻae talavou ke fai ʻae meʻa ko ia, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; pea naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ia ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai.
20 And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ki he matapā ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo nau alea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē,
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.
“ʻOku nofo fiemālie pe ʻae kau tangata ni mo kitautolu; ko ia tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua mo fai ʻenau fakatau ʻi ai: he vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu; ke tau maʻu honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke mali, pea tau foaki kiate kinautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofefine.
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;
Ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻe loto ai ʻae kau tangata kiate kitautolu, ke nofo mo kitautolu, ke tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha, ʻo kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku nau kamu.
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.”
‌ʻIkai ʻe hoko ai ʻenau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa, ko e tau ngaahi meʻa? Kae kehe ke tau loto kiate kinautolu, pea te nau nofo mo kitautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe tokanga kia Hemoa mo Sikemi ko hono foha, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo; pea kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hū kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo.”
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;
Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono ʻaho tolu, kuo nau mamahi, pea naʻe taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā ʻe he ongo foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sēkope, ko Simione mo Livai, ko e ongo tuongaʻane ʻo Taina, ʻo na hū mālohi ki he kolo, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea na toʻo mai ʻa Taina mei he fale ʻo Sikemi, pea nau ō ai.
27 Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope ki he kakai mate ʻo nau maumauʻi ʻae kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakahalaʻi honau tuofefine.
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;
Ne nau ʻave ʻenau fanga sipi mo e nau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga ʻasi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kolo, mo e meʻa ʻi he ngoue,
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.
Mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē, mo nau ʻave fakapōpula ʻenau fānau iiki, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi fale.
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.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Simione mo Livai, “Kuo mo fakamamahiʻi au, ke fakanamukūʻi au, ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani mo e kakai Pelesi: ʻoku ou tokosiʻi au, pea te nau fakataha kotoa pē, ke tāmateʻi au, pea te u ʻauha, ko au, mo hoku fale.”
31 And they say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
Pea naʻa na pehēange kiate ia, “He naʻe lelei ʻa ʻene fai ki homa tuofefine ʻo hangē ko ha muitau?”
