< Genesis 34 >

1 Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, —to see the daughters of the land.
Leah canu Dinah, Jakob ham a cun pah te tolrhum kah tanu rhoek te sawt hamla cet.
2 And Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the land, saw her, —so he took her, and lay with her, and humbled 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 And his soul clave unto Dinah, daughter of Jacob, —and he loved the young woman, and spake to the heart of 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 Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying, —Take me this girl to 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, had heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, but, his sons, happened to be with his cattle in the field, —so Jacob kept quiet until they came in.
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 Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, —to speak with him.
Jakob te voekhlak ham Shekhem napa Hamor te cet.
7 Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, —for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, seeing that so, it 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 So then Hamor spake with them saying—As for Shechem my son, his soul hath become attached to your daughter, —I pray you give her to him, to 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 And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, —your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to you.
Te phoeiah nangmih nu te kaimih taengah vasak sak ham kaimih m'pae lamtah namamih ham kaimih nu na loh uh mako.
10 And with us, shall ye dwell, —and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein.
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 Then said Shechem unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes, —and, whatsoever ye may say unto me, will I 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 Heap on me, exceedingly, dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me, —but give me the young woman, to 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 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spake (because he had defiled Dinah their sister)—
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 said unto them—We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man that is uncircumcised, —for a reproach, it would be 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 herein, can we consent to you, —If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male,
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 your daughters, will we take to us, —and we will dwell with 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 ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone.
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 And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, —and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
Te dongah amih kah olka te Hamor mikhmuh ah khaw, Harmor capa Shekhem mikhmuh ah khaw then.
19 and the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, —he, moreover being more honourable than all the house of his father.
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 So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, —and they spake unto 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 As for these men, in peace, they are with us—let them therefore dwell in the land and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands before them, —their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and our daughters, let us give to them.
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 herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, —If we circumcise to us every male, even 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 Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with 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 And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, —and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth 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 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came in upon the city, boldly, —and slew every, male;
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 Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword, —and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth,
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 The sons of Jacob, came in upon the slain 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 their flocks, and their herds and their asses, —and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, they took;
Amih kah boiva neh saelhung khaw, laak khaw, khopuei khui neh lohma kah te a mawt pauh.
29 and all their wealth and all their little ones, and their women, took they captive, and seized as plunder, —even all that was in their 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 Then said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi—Ye have troubled me by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites, —I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves, together against me and smite me, —and I shall be destroyed both I and my house.
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 And they said, —As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.
Tedae, “Ka ngannu te pumyoi bangla a saii ham om a?” a ti uh.
