< Genesis 34 >

1 Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
Leah canu Dinah, Jakob ham a cun pah te tolrhum kah tanu rhoek te sawt hamla cet.
2 When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
Tedae khohmuen kah khoboei Khivee Hamor capa Shekhem loh anih te a hmuh dongah a loh tih a yalh puei phoeiah a tholh puei.
3 Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
Te phoeiah Jakob canu Dinah taengah a hinglu tlun tih hula te a lungnah dongah hula kah lungbuei te doelh a voek.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
Te dongah Shekhem loh a napa Hamor la, “Hekah hutaca he kai ham ka yuu la han lo,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
A canu Dinah a poeih pah te Jakob loh a yaak dae kohong ah a ca rhoek neh boiva te a om pueng dongah amih halo uh due Jakob loh hil a phah.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Jakob te voekhlak ham Shekhem napa Hamor te cet.
7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
Jakob ca rhoek khaw pong lamkah a pai uh vaengah a yaak uh. Tongpa tongpa rhoek te a kothae uh tih amih te muep sai uh. Jakob canu taengah a yalh te Israel taengah boethaehalang ni a saii. Tedae he he a saii tueng moenih.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
Tedae Hamor loh amih taengah, “Ka capa Shekhem loh nang canu soah a hinglu loh a ven oeh tih a yuu la m'pae mai.
9 Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Te phoeiah nangmih nu te kaimih taengah vasak sak ham kaimih m'pae lamtah namamih ham kaimih nu na loh uh mako.
10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
Kaimih taengah khosa uh mai. Na mikhmuh ah khohmuen om coeng. Khosa uh lamtah thimpom neh a khuikah te bawn uh,” a ti nah.
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
Te vaengah Shekhem loh Dinah kah a napa neh a nganpa rhoek taengah, “Nangmih mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang atah kai taengah na kuek uh vanbangla kan paek uh bitni.
12 Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
Kai soah maan neh kutdoe muep na kuek uh akhaw kai taengah na kuek uh te tah kan paek bitni. Tedae hula te ka yuu la kai taengah paek uh,” a ti nah.
13 The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
Tedae a ngannu Dinah te a poeih pah dongah Jakob ca rhoek loh Shekhem neh a napa Hamor te a doo uh vaengah thailatnah neh a voek uh.
14 And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
Amih rhoi te, “Hlang yanghli taengah ka ngannu paek ham hno saii he kaimih ham kokhahnah la om tih coeng pawh.
15 Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
Nangmih taengkah tongpa boeih te yahhmui a rhet tih kaimih bangla na om uh atah he nen bueng ni nangmih te kan rhoi uh eh.
16 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
Te daengah ni kaimih nu rhoek te nangmih kan paek uh phoeiah kamamih ham nangmih nu rhoek te ka loh uh vetih nangmih taengah kho ka sak uh vaengah pilnam pakhat la n'coeng uh eh.
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
Tedae yahhmui rhet ham kaimih neh nan rhoi uh pawt atah ka canu he ka loh uh vetih ka bal uh ni,” a ti uh.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Te dongah amih kah olka te Hamor mikhmuh ah khaw, Harmor capa Shekhem mikhmuh ah khaw then.
19 The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
Tedae cadong loh Jakob canu te a ngaih coeng dongah hno saii ham te uelh pawh. Te dongah anih te a napa imkhui boeih soah a thangpom.
20 Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Te dongah Hamor neh a capa Shekhem loh amah khopuei vongka la cet tih amah khopuei kah hlang rhoek taengah,
21 "These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters.
Hekah hlang rhoek he mamih neh baerhoep la tolrhum ah khaw khosa uh saeh. Te phoeiah amih kah nongcen rhoeh la khotuk khaw amih ham a dang ka mungkung mai. Mamih kah yuu la amih nu rhoek te lo sih lamtah mah nu te amih pae uh sih.
22 Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Tedae tongpa boeih loh yahvin a rhet uh vanbangla mamih ah pilnam pakhat la om ham atah ning taengkah aka om tongpa rhoek kah yahhmui a rhet nen bueng he ni mamih te n'rhoi uh eh.
23 Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
Amih kah boiva neh hnopai, rhamsa boeih khaw mamih ham moenih a? Te dongah amih te rhoi uh mai sih lamtah mamih taengah khosa uh saeh,” a ti uh.
24 All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Te dongah a khopuei kah vongka ah aka cet boeih loh Hamor neh a capa Shekhem te a ngai uh tih tongpa boeih khukah a khopuei vongka aka pha boeih loh yahhmui a rhet uh.
25 It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
Tedae hnin thum a lo vaengah amih te a tlohpah. Te dongah Dinah nganpa Simeon neh Levi, Jakob ca rhoi loh cunghang rhirha a muk rhoi tih ngaikhuek la khopuei te a paan rhoi. Te vaengah tongpa boeih te a ngawn rhoi.
26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
Hamor neh a capa Shekhem te cunghang ha neh a ngawn rhoi. Dinah te khaw Shekhem im lamloh a lat rhoi tih bal rhoi.
27 Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
A ngannu a poeih pa uh dongah Jakob ca rhoek loh rhok te a paan uh tih khopuei te a poelyoe uh.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
Amih kah boiva neh saelhung khaw, laak khaw, khopuei khui neh lohma kah te a mawt pauh.
29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
Amih kah tatthai boeih neh a yuu, a ca boeih te a sol pa uh tih im kah aka om boeih te khaw a poelyoe uh.
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
Te dongah Jakob loh Simeon neh Levi taengah, “Khohmuen kah kho aka sa Kanaan neh Perizzi rhoek taengah ka bo nan rhim sak rhoi tih kai nan lawn rhoi coeng. Tahae ah kai hlang sii taengah tingtun uh tih kai he n'ngawn uh koinih kamah neh ka imko loh ka mit uh ni ta he,” a ti nah.
31 But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
Tedae, “Ka ngannu te pumyoi bangla a saii ham om a?” a ti uh.
