Genesis 34
1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
Ɛda koro bi, Lea ne Yakob ba Dina firii adi kɔsraa mmabaawa a wɔwɔ wɔn mpɔtam hɔ no.
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;
Ɛberɛ a Hewifoɔhene Hamor babarima Sekem hunuu Dina no, ɔkyeree no kɔtoo no monnaa.
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.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Sekem tuu nʼani sii Yakob ba Dina so. Ɔbɔɔ mmɔden ara sɛ, ɔne no bɛkasa ama wapene so, na waware no.
4 And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a wife.”
Ɛno enti, Sekem dii ho nkɔmmɔ kyerɛɛ nʼagya Hamor sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ meware ababaawa yi, enti kɔka ne ho asɛm ma me!”
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.
Ɛberɛ a Yakob tee sɛ Sekem akɔkyere ne babaa Dina, akɔto no monnaa no, na ne mmammarima no nyinaa ne wɔn agya anantwie wɔ wiram. Enti, Yakob anka hwee kɔsii sɛ wɔbaeɛ.
6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak with him;
Asɛm yi akyiri no, Sekem agya Hamor kɔɔ Yakob nkyɛn ne no kɔdii nkɔmmɔ.
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.
Yakob mmammarima no tee wɔn nuabaa Dina ho asɛm pɛ, wɔfiri wiram hɔ baeɛ. Wɔn werɛ hoeɛ na wɔn bo nso fuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ Sekem ayɛ aniwudeɛ wɔ Israel. Ɔne Yakob babaa daeɛ, na yei yɛ akyiwadeɛ.
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,
Nanso, Hamor ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Me ba Sekem ani gye wo ba Dina ho. Mesrɛ wo, fa no ma no, na ɔnware no.
9 and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
Mo ne yɛnni awadeɛ. Momfa mo mmammaa mma yɛn, na yɛnware wɔn, na yɛn nso, yɛmfa yɛn mmammaa mma mo awadeɛ.
10 and you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
Mobɛtumi ne yɛn atena. Asase yi nyinaa yɛ mo dea. Montena so, nni dwa wɔ so, mpɛ mu agyapadeɛ.”
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;
Afei, Sekem ka kyerɛɛ Dina agya ne ne nuammarima no sɛ “Monnye me ntom. Biribiara a mobɛgye me no, mɛtua.
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.”
Ɔbaa no ti adeɛ ne biribiara a mobɛgye aka ho no, mommɔ ɛboɔ biara a mopɛ, na mɛtua. Deɛ ɛhia me ara ne sɛ, mode ababaawa no bɛma me aware.”
13 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
Esiane sɛ na Sekem agu wɔn nuabaa Dina ho fi no enti, mmuaeɛ a wɔmaa Sekem ne nʼagya Hamor no anyɛ nokorɛ. Na mmom, na wɔwɔ adwene foforɔ bi wɔ akyire.
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.
Yakob mmammarima no ka kyerɛɛ Sekem ne nʼagya Hamor sɛ, “Yɛrentumi mfa yɛn nuabaa mma ɔbarima a ɔntwaa twetia awadeɛ. Sɛ yɛyɛ saa a, na yɛagu yɛn ho anim ase.
15 Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
Ansa na yɛde yɛn nuabaa bɛma wo awadeɛ no, gye sɛ woatwitwa wo mmarima nyinaa twetia te sɛ yɛn.
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;
Sɛ moyɛ saa deɛ a, yɛne mo bɛdi awadeɛ. Mobɛware yɛn mmaa, na yɛn nso, yɛaware mo mmaa. Yɛne mo bɛtena fɛfɛɛfɛ sɛ nnipa baako.
17 and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
Sɛ moampene so amma wɔantwitwa mo twetia deɛ a, yɛbɛgye yɛn nuabaa de no akɔ.”
18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
Asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no tɔɔ Hamor ne ne ba Sekem asom.
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.
Sekem a na ɔyɛ aberanteɛ a ɔdi mu wɔ nʼagya mma nyinaa mu no antwentwɛn ne nan ase koraa. Ɔkɔtwaa twetia no, sɛdeɛ Yakob mma no kaeɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔpɛ Yakob babaa no yie.
20 And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying,
Enti, Hamor ne ne ba Sekem kɔbɔɔ dwa wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano ne ɛhɔ mmarima kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
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.
“Yakob ne ne mma yi ne yɛn te yie. Mompene so na wɔne yɛn ntena yɛn asase yi so, na yɛnni edwa. Ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn asase yi so a yɛne wɔn bɛsene so. Yɛbɛtumi aware wɔn mmammaa, na wɔn nso bɛtumi aware yɛn deɛ.
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;
Nanso, ansa na wɔn mmarima no bɛpene so ne yɛn atena sɛ nnipa korɔ no, gye sɛ yɛn mmarima nyinaa twitwa twetia, sɛdeɛ wɔn nso wɔatwitwa twetia no.
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.”
Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔn mmoa, wɔn agyapadeɛ ne wɔn mmoa ahodoɔ a ɛkeka ho no nyinaa remmɛyɛ yɛn dea anaa? Enti, momma yɛmpene so mma wɔn, na yɛne wɔn ntena.”
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.
Mmarima a wɔkɔhyiaa Hamor ne ne ba Sekem wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano no nyinaa ne wɔn yɛɛ adwene maa mmarima a wɔwɔ kurom hɔ nyinaa twitwaa twetia.
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;
Nnansa akyiri a na twetiatwa no enti, kurom hɔ mmarima no nyinaa deda hɔ a wɔgye wɔn ho a ɛnnye no, Yakob mmammarima baanu Simeon ne Lewi a wɔyɛ Dina nuammarima no faa wɔn mpea. Wɔkɔto hyɛɛ kuro no so, ɛberɛ a wɔn ani nna wɔn ho so, kunkumm mmarima a wɔwɔ kurom hɔ nyinaa.
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.
Wɔde pea kumm Hamor ne ne ba Sekem, na wɔfaa wɔn nuabaa Dina firii Sekem fie de no kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
27 Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
Yakob mmammarima a wɔaka no nso to hyɛɛ kuro no so. Wɔtiatiaa nnipa a wɔawuwu no so, fom kuro no mu nneɛma nyinaa pasaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛhɔ na Sekem guu wɔn nuabaa Dina ho fi.
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;
Wɔfom wɔn anantwie, wɔn nnwan, wɔn mfunumu ne wɔn agyapadeɛ biara a ɛwɔ kuro no mu ne deɛ ɛwɔ wiram nyinaa.
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.
Wɔfaa wɔn ahodeɛ, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mmaa, fom wɔn afie mu nneɛma nyinaa.
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.”
Afei, Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Simeon ne Lewi sɛ, “Mode ɔhaw abɛto me so, ama ɛnnɛ me ho koraa abɔn Perisifoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ a mete wɔn asase so yi. Yɛn nnɔɔso. Sɛ wɔka wɔn ho bom, bɛto hyɛ yɛn so a, wɔbɛhye me ne mʼasefoɔ nyinaa.”
31 And they say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
Na wɔbuaa wɔn agya sɛ, “Enti, anka yɛntena hɔ nhwɛ na ɔnyɛ yɛn nuabaa sɛ odwamanfoɔ anaa?”
