Genesis 34
1 Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, —to see the daughters of the land.
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liae ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
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.
Quam cum vidisset Sichem filius Hemor Hevaei, princeps terrae illius, adamavit eam: et rapuit, et dormivit cum illa, vi opprimens virginem.
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.
Et conglutinata est anima eius cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying, —Take me this girl to wife!
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum, Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc coniugem.
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.
Quod cum audisset Iacob, absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, —to speak with him.
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Iacob,
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.
ecce filii eius veniebant de agro: auditoque quod acciderat, irati sunt valde, eo quod foedam rem operatus esset in Israel et, violata filia Iacob, rem illicitam perpetrasset.
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.
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhaesit anima filiae vestrae: date eam illi uxorem:
9 And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, —your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to you.
et iungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite.
10 And with us, shall ye dwell, —and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein.
Et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est, exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
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:
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres eius ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quaecumque statueritis, dabo:
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.
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spake (because he had defiled Dinah their sister)—
Responderunt filii Iacob Sichem et patri eius in dolo, saevientes ob stuprum sororis:
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.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 Only herein, can we consent to you, —If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male,
Sed in hoc valebimus foederari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omnis masculini sexus;
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.
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras, ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus:
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone.
si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, —and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio eius:
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.
nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret: amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.
20 So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, —and they spake unto the men of their city, saying:
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
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.
Viri isti pacifici sunt, et volunt habitare nobiscum: negotientur in terra, et exerceant eam, quae spatiosa et lata cultoribus indiget: filias eorum accipiemus uxores, et nostras illis dabimus.
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.
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: Si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
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.
Et substantia eorum, et pecora, et cuncta quae possident, nostra erunt: tantum in hoc acquiescamus, et habitantes simul, unum efficiamus populum.
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.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
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;
Et ecce, die tertio quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est: arreptis, duo filii Iacob, Simeon et Levi fratres Dinae, gladiis, ingressi sunt urbem confidenter: interfectisque omnibus masculis,
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,
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 The sons of Jacob, came in upon the slain and plundered the city, —because they had defiled their sister:
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Iacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
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;
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quae in domibus et in agris erant,
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.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
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.
Quibus patratis audacter, Iacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi: Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananaeis, et Pherezaeis habitatoribus terrae huius. nos pauci sumus: illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.
31 And they said, —As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
