Genesis 34

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

١ وَخَرَجَتْ دِينَةُ ٱبْنَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ لِتَنْظُرَ بَنَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.

٢ فَرَآهَا شَكِيمُ ٱبْنُ حَمُورَ ٱلْحِوِّيِّ رَئِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا وَأَذَلَّهَا.

3 And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.

٣ وَتَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِدِينَةَ ٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَحَبَّ ٱلْفَتَاةَ وَلَاطَفَ ٱلْفَتاةَ.

4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife.

٤ فَكَلَّمَ شَكِيمُ حَمُورَ أَبَاهُ قَائِلًا: «خُذْ لِي هَذِهِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةَ زَوْجَةً».

5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the field: ) and Jacob held his peace till they had come.

٥ وَسَمِعَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ. وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُ فَكَانُوا مَعَ مَوَاشِيهِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَسَكَتَ يَعْقُوبُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا.

6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.

٦ فَخَرَجَ حَمُورُ أَبُو شَكِيمَ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.

7 And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard [it]: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.

٧ وَأَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا. وَغَضِبَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَٱغْتَاظُوا جِدًّا لِأَنَّهُ صَنَعَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَكَذَا لَا يُصْنَعُ.

8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife.

٨ وَتَكَلَّمَ حَمُورُ مَعَهُمَ قَائِلًا: «شَكِيمُ ٱبْنِي قَدْ تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِٱبْنَتِكُمْ. أَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهَا زَوْجَةً

9 And make ye marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.

٩ وَصَاهِرُونَا. تُعْطُونَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَتَأْخُذُونَ لَكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا.

10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

١٠ وَتَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَكُمُ. ٱسْكُنُوا وَٱتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا وَتَمَلَّكُوا بِهَا».

11 And Shechem said to her father, and to her brethren, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me, I will give.

١١ ثُمَّ قَالَ شَكِيمُ لِأَبِيهَا وَلإِخْوَتِهَا: «دَعُونِي أَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. فَٱلَّذِي تَقُولُونَ لِي أُعْطِي.

12 Ask me never so much dower and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me: but give me the damsel for a wife.

١٢ كَثِّرُوا عَلَيَّ جِدًّا مَهْرًا وَعَطِيَّةً، فَأُعْطِيَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ لِي. وَأَعْطُونِي ٱلْفَتَاةَ زَوْجَةً».

13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, (because he had defiled Dinah their sister, )

١٣ فَأَجَابَ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ شَكِيمَ وَحَمُورَ أَبَاهُ بِمَكْرٍ وَتَكَلَّمُوا. لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ،

14 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised: for that [would be] a reproach to us:

١٤ فَقَالُوُا لَهُمَا: «لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنْ نُعْطِيَ أُخْتَنَا لِرَجُلٍ أَغْلَفَ، لِأَنَّهُ عَارٌ لَنَا.

15 But in this will we consent to you: If ye will be as we [are], that every male of you shall be circumcised;

١٥ غَيْرَ أَنَّنَا بِهَذَا نُواتِيكُمْ: إِنْ صِرْتُمْ مِثْلَنَا بِخَتْنِكُمْ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.

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.

١٦ نُعْطِيكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا وَنَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَنَسْكُنُ مَعَكُمْ وَنَصِيرُ شَعْبًا وَاحِدًا.

17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

١٧ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لَنَا، أَنْ تَخْتَتِنُوا، نَأْخُذُ ٱبْنَتَنَا وَنَمْضِي».

18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

١٨ فَحَسُنَ كَلَامُهُمْ فِي عَيْنَيْ حَمُورَ وَفِي عَيْنَيْ شَكِيمَ بْنِ حَمُورَ.

19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honorable than all the house of his father.

١٩ وَلَمْ يَتَأَخَّرِ ٱلْغُلَامُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ٱلْأَمْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَسْرُورًا بِٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ. وَكَانَ أَكْرَمَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.

20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

٢٠ فَأَتَى حَمُورُ وَشَكِيمُ ٱبْنُهُ إِلَى بَابِ مَدِينَتِهْمَا، وَكَلَّمَا أَهْلَ مَدِينَتِهْمَا قَائِلَيْنِ:

21 These men [are] peaceable with us, therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein: for the land, behold, [it is] large enough for them: let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

٢١ «هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمُ مُسَالِمُونَ لَنَا. فَلْيَسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا. وَهُوَذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ وَاسِعَةُ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ أَمَامَهُمْ. نَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِهِمْ زَوْجَاتٍ وَنُعْطِيهِمْ بَنَاتِنَا.

22 Only herein, will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us shall be circumcised, as they [are] circumcised.

٢٢ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ بِهَذَا فَقَطْ يُواتِينَا ٱلْقَوْمُ عَلَى ٱلسَّكَنِ مَعَنَا لِنَصِيرَ شَعْبًا وَاحِدًا: بِخَتْنِنَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ كَمَا هُمْ مَخْتُونُونَ.

23 [Will] not their cattle, and their substance, and every beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.

٢٣ أَلَا تَكُونُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَمُقْتَنَاهُمْ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِهِمْ لَنَا؟ نُواتِيهِمْ فَقَطْ فَيَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا».

24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city: and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

٢٤ فَسَمِعَ لِحَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ٱبْنِهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱخْتَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ. كُلُّ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

٢٥ فَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ إِذْ كَانُوا مُتَوَجِّعِينَ أَنَّ ٱبْنَيْ يَعْقُوبَ، شِمْعُونَ وَلَاوِيَ أَخَوَيْ دِينَةَ، أَخَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ وَأَتَيَا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِأَمْنٍ وَقَتَلَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.

26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

٢٦ وَقَتَلَا حَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ٱبْنَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذَا دِينَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ شَكِيمَ وَخَرَجَا.

27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city; because they had defiled their sister.

٢٧ ثُمَّ أَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى ٱلْقَتْلَى وَنَهَبُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ نَجَّسُوا أُخْتَهُمْ.

28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the field.

٢٨ غَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَحَمِيرَهُمْ وَكُلُّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَخَذُوهُ.

29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the house.

٢٩ وَسَبَوْا وَنَهَبُوا كُلَّ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَطْفَالِهِمْ، وَنِسَاءَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ.

30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites, and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they will assemble themselves against me, and slay me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

٣٠ فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِشَمْعُونَ وَلَاوِي: «كَدَّرْتُمَانِي بِتَكْرِيهِكُمَا إِيَّايَ عِنْدَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِيِّينَ، وَأَنَا نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ. فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَضْرِبُونَنِي، فَأَبِيدُ أَنَا وَبَيْتِي».

31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister, as with a harlot?

٣١ فَقَالَا: «أَنَظِيرَ زَانِيَةٍ يَفْعَلُ بِأُخْتِنَا؟».
