< Genesis 34 >

1 Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
Entonces Dina, la hija que Lea dio a luz a Jacob, salió a ver a las hijas de aquella tierra.
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.
Siquem, hijo de Hamor, el heveo príncipe de aquella tierra, la miró y la tomó. Se unió a ella y la deshonró.
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.
Pero su alma se apegó a Dina, hija de Jacob. Se enamoró de la muchacha y habló amorosamente a la joven.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
Siquem habló a su padre Hamor: Tómame a esta jovencita para que sea mi esposa.
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.
Jacob oyó que Siquem contaminó a su hija Dina. Pero como sus hijos estaban con su ganado en el campo, Jacob guardó silencio hasta cuando ellos llegaran.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Entonces Hamor, padre de Siquem, salió para hablar con Jacob.
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.
Cuando los hijos de Jacob regresaron del campo y lo supieron, aquellos varones se airaron. Se enardecieron muchísimo, porque Siquem hizo una vileza en Israel con la hija de Jacob, lo cual no se debía hacer.
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.
Pero Hamor habló con ellos y les dijo: El alma de mi hijo Siquem se apegó a la hija de ustedes. Les ruego que se la den para que sea su esposa.
9 Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Emparenten con nosotros. Dennos sus hijas y tomen nuestras hijas para ustedes.
10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
Vivan con nosotros. La tierra está delante de ustedes. Vivan y negocien y adquieran posesión en ella.
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.
Y Siquem dijo al padre de ella y a sus hermanos: Halle yo gracia ante ustedes, y daré lo que me digan.
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."
Aumenten mucha dote y regalos a mi cargo, que yo daré cuanto me digan, pero denme la muchacha para que sea mi esposa.
13 The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
Los hijos de Jacob respondieron con doblez a Siquem y a Hamor su padre, porque Siquem violó a su hermana Dina.
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.
Les dijeron: No podemos hacer esto de dar nuestra hermana a un hombre que tenga prepucio, porque es afrenta para nosotros.
15 Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
Solo con esto los consentiremos: que sean como nosotros, al circuncidar todo varón de ustedes.
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.
Entonces les daremos nuestras hijas y tomaremos las de ustedes. Viviremos con ustedes y seremos un pueblo.
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
Pero si no aceptan circuncidarse, entonces tomaremos nuestra hija y nos iremos.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Las palabras de ellos parecieron buenas a Hamor y a Siquem, hijo de Hamor.
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.
No demoró el joven en hacerlo, porque se deleitaba con la hija de Jacob. Él era el más distinguido de toda la casa de su padre.
20 Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Hamor y su hijo Siquem fueron a la puerta de su ciudad y hablaron a los hombres de su ciudad:
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.
Estos hombres son pacíficos con nosotros. Vivirán en la tierra y negociarán en ella. Pues miren, la tierra es bastante amplia para ellos. Tomaremos sus hijas para que sean nuestras esposas, y les daremos nuestras hijas.
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.
Pero solo con esto consentirán en vivir con nosotros para ser un pueblo: que todo varón nuestro sea circuncidado, así como ellos son circuncidados.
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."
¿Entonces no serán nuestros su ganado, sus bienes y todos sus animales? Solo convengamos con ellos, y vivirán con nosotros.
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.
Todos los que salían por la puerta de su ciudad obedecieron a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, y circuncidaron a todo varón que salía por la puerta de su ciudad.
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.
Aconteció al tercer día, cuando ellos estaban más adoloridos, que dos de los hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, después de tomar cada uno su espada, salieron contra la ciudad desprevenida y asesinaron a todos los varones.
26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
Asesinaron a filo de espada a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, sacaron a Dina de la casa de Siquem y salieron.
27 Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Los hijos de Jacob pasaron sobre los muertos y saquearon la ciudad, por cuanto violaron a su hermana.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
Tomaron sus ovejas, su ganado vacuno y sus asnos, lo que estaba en la ciudad, lo que estaba en el campo
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.
y toda su hacienda. Se llevaron cautivas a todas sus criaturas y sus mujeres, y saquearon todo lo que había en las casas.
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."
Entonces Jacob dijo a Simeón y a Leví: Ustedes me arruinaron al hacer que yo sea odioso ante los habitantes de esta tierra, el cananeo y el ferezeo. Por cuanto tengo pocos hombres, se juntarán contra mí y me atacarán. Yo y mi casa seremos exterminados.
31 But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
Pero dijeron ellos: ¿Debía él tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?
