Genesis 34
1 Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
Ɛda koro bi, Lea ne Yakob ba Dina firii adi kɔsraa mmabaawa a wɔwɔ wɔn mpɔtam hɔ no.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Hewifoɔhene Hamor babarima Sekem hunuu Dina no, ɔkyeree no kɔtoo no monnaa.
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.
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 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
Ɛno enti, Sekem dii ho nkɔmmɔ kyerɛɛ nʼagya Hamor sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ meware ababaawa yi, enti kɔka ne ho asɛm ma me!”
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.
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 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Asɛm yi akyiri no, Sekem agya Hamor kɔɔ Yakob nkyɛn ne no kɔdii nkɔmmɔ.
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.
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 Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as 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 Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and 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 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
Mobɛtumi ne yɛn atena. Asase yi nyinaa yɛ mo dea. Montena so, nni dwa wɔ so, mpɛ mu agyapadeɛ.”
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.
Afei, Sekem ka kyerɛɛ Dina agya ne ne nuammarima no sɛ “Monnye me ntom. Biribiara a mobɛgye me no, mɛtua.
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."
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 The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had 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 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.
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 on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
Ansa na yɛde yɛn nuabaa bɛma wo awadeɛ no, gye sɛ woatwitwa wo mmarima nyinaa twetia te sɛ yɛn.
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.
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 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
Sɛ moampene so amma wɔantwitwa mo twetia deɛ a, yɛbɛgye yɛn nuabaa de no akɔ.”
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no tɔɔ Hamor ne ne ba Sekem asom.
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.
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 Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke 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 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.
“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 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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
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 entered over the dead and plundered 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 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
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. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
Wɔfaa wɔn ahodeɛ, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mmaa, fom wɔn afie mu nneɛma nyinaa.
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."
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 But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
Na wɔbuaa wɔn agya sɛ, “Enti, anka yɛntena hɔ nhwɛ na ɔnyɛ yɛn nuabaa sɛ odwamanfoɔ anaa?”
