< Genesis 34 >
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah [Weary], whom she bore to Jacob [Supplanter], went out to see the daughters of the land.
Leah canu Dinah Jakop e a yu ni a khe pouh e hah haw e ram dawk e tanglanaw hmu han a ngai dawkvah a pai.
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite [Wicked], the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
Hiv tami, haw e siangpahrang Hamor capa Shekhem ni a hmu, a man teh a ikhai teh a min a mathoe sak.
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob [Supplanter], and he 'ahav ·affectionately loved· the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
A hringnae teh Jakop canu Dinah koe dueng a lungthin ao, hote tangla teh a lungpatawpoung dawk lawk kahawi hoi dueng a pato.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
Shekhem ni a na pa Hamor koe, hote tangla hah kai hane yu lah na paluen pouh, telah ati.
5 Now Jacob [Supplanter] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob [Supplanter] held his peace until they came.
Jakop ni a canu Dinah hah Shekhem ni a khin sak tie hah a panue, a capanaw hah law vah saringhu hoi a i awh teh, a tho hoehroukrak teh Jakop duem ao.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob [Supplanter] to talk with him.
Shekhem e a na pa Hamor teh Jakop pato hanelah a cei.
7 The sons of Jacob [Supplanter] came in from the field when they sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel [God prevails] in lying with Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter; a thing ought not to be done.
Jakop capanaw ni a thai awh tahma vah law hoi a ban awh. Jakop canu a ikhai e hoi, Isarelnaw thungvah kayayeirai sak hane hoi, sak hoeh hane kawi yonnae a sak dawkvah, a lungmathoe awh teh a lung pueng hoi a khuek awh.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, has chasak ·set his affection· on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
Hateiteh, Hamor ni a pato teh ka capa Shekhem a hringnae teh na canu e lathueng dueng doeh ao, pahren lahoi a yu hanelah paluen sak leih.
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Kâpaluen awh sei, na canunaw na paluen sak awh haw, kaimae canu hai paluen van awh.
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
Kaimouh koe na o awh vaiteh ram hai moi kalen lah ao doeh. Hivah awm awh nateh hno yawt awh nateh, moikapap tawnta awh telah ati.
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find chen ·grace· in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
Shekhem ni tangla e na pa hoi a thangroinaw koevah na pahren awh loe. Kai koe na dei awh e pueng na poe awh han.
12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
Aphu hoi poehno teh na hei awh e yit touh na poe awh han. Bangtelah nakunghai tangla teh yu lah na paluen sak awh telah ati.
13 The sons of Jacob [Supplanter] answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Hateiteh, Jakop capanaw ni a canu Dinah a khinsak awh dawkvah, Shekhem hoi a na pa Hamor teh dumnae lahoi bout a dei pouh awh.
14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
Ahnimouh ni ahnimanaw koe vuensom ka a hoeh e naw koe ka canu na poe thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot hateh kaimouh hanelah min mathoenae doeh.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
Hateiteh, hettelah lawk na kâkam awh torei dueng doeh, nangmae lawk hah ka hnâbawt awh ti, nangmouh koe e tongpa pueng hah vuensoma awh nateh kaimanaw patetlah awm awh.
16 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
Hat toteh, kaimae canu na paluen sak vaiteh, kaimouh ni hai nangmae canunaw hai ka paluen van awh han. Hahoi nangmouh koe ka o awh vaiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh han.
17 But if you will not sh'ma ·hear obey· unto us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
Hateiteh, kaimae lawk na ngai awh hoeh lah, vuensom na a awh hoehpawiteh, ka canu ka la vaiteh ka cei awh han toe telah ati.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
Hahoi ahnimae lawk ni Hamor hoi Hamor capa Shekhem hah a lunghawi sak.
19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
Hottelah thoundoun ni Jakop canu hah a ngai lawi vah, hothateh moikasaw e lah pouk laipalah tang a sak, ahni teh a na pa imthungnaw thung dawkvah bari poung e lah ao.
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a kho kalupnae longkha koe a pha awh teh, kho thung e taminaw hoi a kâpato awh.
21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Hote taminaw hoi maimouh hoi karoumcalah hoi kho a sak awh. Hatdawkvah hete ram dawk kho a sak awh vaiteh, hivah hno yawt awh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh han ram akawpoung doeh. A canunaw hah yu lah paluen awh vaiteh, maimae canunaw hai yu lah paluen van awh naseh.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Hateiteh, miphun buet touh lah o awh thai nahan, hettelah lawkkam awh torei dueng doeh ahnimouh ni hnâ na bo khai hanelah ao, vuensom ka a awh e patetlah mamouh thung e tongpa pueng hai vuensoma awh sei.
23 Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
Ahnimae saringnaw, hnopainaw hoi a tawnta e naw pueng teh, maimae lah be kaawm han nahoehmaw. Ahnimae lawk teh hnâbawtkhai awh sei. Hottelah hoi maimouh koe kho a sak awh han telah ati awh.
24 All who went out of the gate of his city sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem ni a dei e hah kalupnae rapan koe kâen ka tâcawt e pueng ni a hnâbokhai awh teh, longkha koe kâen ka tâcawt e tongpa pueng teh vuensom koung a a sak awh.
25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons, Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
Hahoi hettelah doeh. A apâthum hnin a pataw poungnae dawk Jakop capanaw thung hoi kahni touh e, Dinah e a thangroi Simeon hoi Levih ni amamouh roi e tahloi a sin roi teh arulahoi khopui a tuk roi teh tongpa pueng he a thei roi.
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
Hamor hoi a capa Shekhem hai tahloi hoi a thei awh. Shekhem im dawk e Dinah hah a tâcokhai awh teh a cei awh.
27 Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Jakop capanaw ni a thei awh e naw koe a pha awh van teh, a tawncanu a kamhnawng sin dawkvah khopui teh a raphoe awh.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
A tuhunaw, maitohunaw, lahunaw hoi amamouh kho e kaawm e hnopainaw hah a la pouh awh.
29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
A hnopainaw, a canaw hoi a yunaw imthungkhu kaawm e pueng hah he a lawp awh teh be a raphoe awh.
30 Jacob [Supplanter] said to Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] and the Perizzites [Descendants of Belonging to village]. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
Jakop ni Simeon hoi Levih koevah nangmanaw ni hete ram dawk e taminaw hoi Kanaannaw hoi Periznaw kecu dawkvah, kai heh min mathoenae na phu sak teh, lung na mathoe sak. Kai ka younca navah kai taranlahoi kamkhueng awh vaiteh, kai hoi ka imthungnaw hah na thet awh vaiteh, he na pahma awh han doeh telah ati.
31 They said, “Should we allow him to deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni kaimae tawncanu heh, kâyawt e napui patetlah a sak han na maw telah ati awh.
