Genesis 34
1 One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
Ugbu a, Daịna nwa nwanyị Lịa mụụrụ Jekọb pụrụ ileta ndị inyom ala ahụ.
2 Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
Mgbe Shekem, nwa Hamọ onye Hiv, onye na-achị mpaghara ahụ, hụrụ ya, ọ kpọọrọ ya jiri ike ya na ya dinaa.
3 He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
Mkpụrụobi ya gara nʼebe Daịna nwa Jekọb, ọ hụrụ nwantakịrị nwanyị ahụ nʼanya, gwakwa ya okwu dị nro.
4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
Shekem sịrị nna ya bụ Hamọ “Lụtara m nwaagbọghọ a, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”
5 Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
Mgbe Jekọb nụrụ na e merụrụ Daịna nwa ya nwanyị, nʼihi na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nọ nʼọhịa ebe ha na-azụ anụ ụlọ, ọ gbara nkịtị na-emeghị ihe ọbụla ruo mgbe ha lọtara.
6 In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
Hamọ bụ nna Shekem, pụkwuuru Jekọb ka ha kparịta ụka.
7 While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should be done!”
Ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb si nʼọhịa na-alọta mgbe ha nụrụ ihe merenụ, iwe na ọnụma juputara ha obi nke ukwuu nʼihi na Shekem mere ihe na-eweta ihere nʼIzrel site nʼidinakwuru ada Jekọb, ihe a na-ekwesighị ime eme.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
Ma Hamọ sịrị ha, “Nwa m nwoke Shekem hụrụ nwa unu nwanyị nʼanya. Biko, kwerenụ ka ọ lụọ ya.
9 Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
Kwerenụ ka anyị na unu na-alụrịta. Ka anyị na-alụ ụmụ ndị inyom unu, ka unu na-alụkwa ụmụ ndị inyom anyị.
10 You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”
Unu nwere ike biri nʼetiti anyị. Ala a ghere oghe nye unu. Birinụ nʼime ya, na-azụkwanụ ahịa nʼime ya, nwekwanụ akụ nʼime ya nye onwe unu.”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
Shekem gwara nna na ụmụnne Daịna ndị ikom sị, “Kwerenụ ka m chọta ihuọma nʼebe unu nọ, aga m enyekwa unu ihe ọbụla unu chọrọ ka m nye unu.
12 Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.”
Ihe ọbụla unu sị m kwụọ dịka ego akụ ọlụlụ nwunye, ya na onyinye ọbụla unu si m nye aga m enye unu. Naanị kwerenụ ka nwaagbọghọ a bụrụ nwunye m.”
13 But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
Ma ụmụ Jekọb jiri aghụghọ zaa Shekem na Hamọ nna ya mgbe ha na-agwa ha okwu, nʼihi na e merụrụ Daịna nwanne ha nwanyị.
14 by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
Ha sịrị ha, “Anyị enweghị ike ime ihe a, ị kpọrọ nwanne anyị nwanyị kpọnye nwoke a na-ebighị ugwu. Nke a ga-abụrụ anyị ihe ihere.
15 We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
Anyị nwere ike ikwenye ka ọ lụọ ya ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-adị ka anyị, ka e bie ndị nwoke unu niile ugwu.
16 Then we will give our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
Mgbe ahụ anyị ga-edunye unu ụmụ ndị inyom anyị, ma kpọrọkwa ụmụ ndị inyom unu dịka ndị nwunye anyị. Anyị ga-ebi nʼetiti unu, soro unu bụrụ otu ndị.
17 But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
Ọ bụrụ na unu agaghị ekwe ka e bie unu ugwu, anyị ga-akpọrọ nwanne anyị nwanyị laa.”
18 What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
Obi tọrọ Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke ụtọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb kwuru.
19 Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
Nwokorobịa ahụ bụ onye a na-asọpụrụ karịa onye ọbụla nʼụlọ nna ya egbughị oge ime ihe ha kwuru, nʼihi na ihe banyere nwa nwanyị Jekọb dị ya mma nke ukwuu.
20 Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
Emesịa, Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke gara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo ha gwa ndị ikom obodo ha okwu, sị.
21 “These men are friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.
“Ndị ikom ndị a nwere mmasị nʼebe anyị nọ. Kwerenụ ka ha biri nʼala anyị, ka ha na-agagharị kwa nʼime ya. Anyị nwere ala buru ibu nke ga-ezuru anyị na ha. Ha ga-alụ ụmụ nwanyị anyị, anyị ga-alụkwa ndị nke ha.
22 But these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.
Ma ọ dị otu ihe ha chọrọ ka anyị mee tupu ha ekwere ibi nʼetiti anyị ka anyị na ha bụrụ otu ndị. Ọ bụ ibi ndị ikom anyị niile ugwu dịka e si bie ha ugwu.
23 But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!”
Ọ bụrụ na unu chọrọ ka anụ ụlọ ha niile na akụ ha niile bụrụ nke anyị, ọ dị mma ka anyị kwenyere ha, ka ha binyere anyị.”
24 Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.
Ndị ikom niile bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ kwenyere nʼokwu Hamọ na nwa ya nwoke Shekem. E bikwara nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼobodo ahụ ugwu.
25 On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
O ruo nʼụbọchị nke atọ, mgbe ọnya ugwu ha na-egbu ha mgbu, ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb abụọ, Simiọn na Livayị, ụmụnne Daịna, jiri mma agha ha pụkwuru ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ na-atụghị anya na ihe dị otu a ga-eme, gbuo ndị ikom niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ.
26 They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
Ha gbukwara Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke, kpọpụta Daịna site nʼụlọ Shekem, laghachi nʼụlọ ha.
27 Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.
Mgbe ahụ ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb niile bịakwasịrị ndị a e gburu egbu, kwakọọ ihe niile dị nʼobodo ahụ niile, nʼihi mmerụ e merụrụ nwanne ha nwanyị.
28 They took away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
Ha kwakọọrọ ngwongwo niile dị nʼobodo ahụ, kpụrụkwa anụ ụlọ niile, igwe ewu na atụrụ, igwe ehi na igwe ịnyịnya ibu niile, na ihe niile dị nʼime obodo ahụ, na ihe niile dị nʼubi ndị ahụ obodo nwere.
29 They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
Akụ ha niile, na ndị inyom ha niile na ụmụntakịrị ha, na ihe niile dị nʼime ụlọ ha, ka ha weere dịka ihe a dọtara nʼagha.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
Mgbe Jekọb hụrụ ihe ụmụ ya mere, ọ kpọrọ Simiọn na Livayị sị ha, “Unu ebuterela m nsogbu mee ka m bụrụ ihe na-esi isi ọjọọ nʼetiti ndị Kenan na ndị Periz nwe ala a. Ebe anyị dị ole na ole, ọ bụrụ na ha ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ lụso m agha, ha ga-ekpochapụ mụ na ezinaụlọ m.”
31 But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
Ma ha zara sị ya, “O kwesiri ka o meso nwanne anyị nwanyị mmeso dịka ọ bụ akwụna?”
