Genesis 34
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah [Weary], whom she bore to Jacob [Supplanter], went out to see the daughters of the land.
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liæ ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
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.
Quam cum vidisset Sichem filius Hemor Hevæi, princeps terræ illius, adamavit eam: et rapuit, et dormivit cum illa, vi opprimens virginem.
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.
Et conglutinata est anima ejus cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum: Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc conjugem.
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.
Quod cum audisset Jacob absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob [Supplanter] to talk with him.
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Jacob,
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.
ecce filii ejus veniebant de agro: auditoque quod acciderat, irati sunt valde, eo quod fœdam rem operatus esset in Israël et, violata filia Jacob, rem illicitam perpetrasset.
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.
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhæsit anima filiæ vestræ: date eam illi uxorem:
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
et jungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite,
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est: exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
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.
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres ejus ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quæcumque statueritis, dabo:
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.”
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 The sons of Jacob [Supplanter] answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Responderunt filii Jacob Sichem et patri ejus in dolo, sævientes ob stuprum sororis:
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.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
Sed in hoc valebimus fœderari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omne masculini sexus;
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.
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus.
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.”
Si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio ejus,
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.
nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret: amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
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.
Viri isti pacifici sunt, et volunt habitare nobiscum: negotientur in terra, et exerceant eam, quæ spatiosa et lata cultoribus indiget: filias eorum accipiemus uxores, et nostras illis dabimus.
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.
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
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.”
Et substantia eorum, et pecora, et cuncta quæ possident, nostra erunt: tantum in hoc acquiescamus, et habitantes simul, unum efficiemus populum.
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.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
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.
Et ecce, die tertio, quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est: arreptis duo filii Jacob, Simeon et Levi fratres Dinæ, gladiis, ingressi sunt urbem confidenter: interfectisque omnibus masculis,
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.
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Jacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quæ in domibus et in agris erant,
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.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
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.”
Quibus patratis audacter, Jacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi: Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananæis, et Pherezæis habitatoribus terræ hujus: nos pauci sumus; illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.
31 They said, “Should we allow him to deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
