< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Pada suatu hari, Dina, anak perempuan Lea dan Yakub, keluar untuk menemui perempuan-perempuan di daerah itu.
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.
Seseorang bernama Sikem melihat Dina dan memaksa gadis itu ikut bersamanya, lalu memperkosa dia. Sikem adalah anak Hemor, kepala suku Hewi.
3 And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
Tetapi Sikem tertarik dan jatuh cinta kepada Dina. Karena itu, dia berusaha merayu Dina untuk mengambil hatinya.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife.
Lalu Sikem berkata kepada ayahnya, “Ayah, aku ingin menikahi perempuan muda itu. Tolong Ayah melamarkan dia untukku!”
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.
Sewaktu Yakub mendengar berita bahwa Sikem sudah mencabuli Dina, semua anak laki-lakinya sedang menggembalakan ternak di padang. Karena itu, Yakub belum mengambil tindakan apa-apa. Dia menunggu sampai anak-anaknya pulang.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
Sementara itu, Hemor, ayah Sikem, pergi menemui Yakub untuk berbicara dengannya.
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.
Namun, ketika semua anak laki-laki Yakub mendengar apa yang sudah terjadi, mereka langsung pulang. Mereka sangat marah atas perbuatan Sikem yang sudah mempermalukan keluarga Israel dengan meniduri saudara perempuan mereka.
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.
Lalu Hemor berkata kepada mereka semua, “Sikem, anak saya, sangat menyukai Dina, anak perempuan keluarga kalian. Karena itu, saya mohon persetujuan kalian supaya dia bisa menikahi Dina.
9 And make ye marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
Kalian dapat menikah dengan anak-anak perempuan kami, dan izinkanlah kami menikahi anak-anak perempuan kalian.
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
Kalian dapat menetap bersama kami. Wilayah ini terbuka bagi kalian. Tinggallah di sini dan berdaganglah dengan bebas. Kalian dapat memiliki tanah di sini.”
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.
Sikem berkata kepada ayah dan saudara-saudara Dina, “Saya memohon agar kalian mau bermurah hati dan memenuhi permintaan saya. Sebaliknya, apa pun yang kalian minta akan saya berikan.
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.
Saya akan menyanggupi segala sesuatu yang kalian minta sebagai mas kawin, tetapi saya mohon, berikanlah anak perempuanmu kepada saya sebagai istri.”
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, (because he had defiled Dinah their sister, )
Karena Sikem sudah menodai Dina, saudara mereka, maka semua anak Yakub menjawab Sikem dan Hemor dengan tipu muslihat.
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:
Kata mereka, “Kami tidak mungkin memberikan adik kami kepada seorang laki-laki yang belum disunat, karena hal seperti itu akan mempermalukan kami.
15 But in this will we consent to you: If ye will be as we [are], that every male of you shall be circumcised;
Kami hanya bisa setuju dengan satu syarat: Kalian harus menjadi sama dengan kami, yaitu semua laki-laki di antara kalian disunat.
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.
Bila kalian melakukan itu, kami bersedia memberikan anak-anak perempuan kami untuk dinikahi, dan mengambil anak-anak perempuan kalian untuk diperistri. Kami akan menetap di antara kalian sehingga kita menjadi satu bangsa.
17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
Namun, jika kalian tidak setuju dengan persyaratan kami, maka kami akan pindah dari daerah ini dengan membawa adik kami.”
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Hemor dan Sikem merasa senang dengan persyaratan itu.
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.
Sikem, anak yang paling dihormati di antara kaum keluarganya, tidak menunggu lagi dan segera melaksanakan permintaan itu, karena dia sangat menginginkan Dina.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
Maka Hemor dan Sikem pergi ke pintu gerbang kota lalu berkata kepada para pemimpin kota itu,
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.
“Orang-orang ini tidak ada perselisihan dengan kita. Biarkanlah mereka menetap di sini dan berdagang, karena sesungguhnya, tanah ini cukup luas untuk menampung mereka. Kita akan menikah dengan perempuan-perempuan mereka, dan sebaliknya mereka pun dapat menikah dengan perempuan-perempuan kita.
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.
Namun, ada satu persyaratan yang mereka ingin kita penuhi untuk mempersatukan kita sebagai satu bangsa. Setiap laki-laki di antara kita harus disunat sama seperti mereka.
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.
Jika kita melakukannya, pastilah hewan ternak, harta benda, dan semua binatang mereka yang lain akan menjadi milik kita. Karena itu, marilah kita penuhi permintaan mereka agar kita dapat hidup bersama.”
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.
Semua pemimpin yang berkumpul di gerbang kota setuju dengan perkataan Hemor dan Sikem. Jadi, setiap laki-laki di kota itu disunat.
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.
Tetapi pada hari ketiga, ketika orang-orang yang disunat itu masih kesakitan, dua anak Yakub yakni Simeon dan Lewi— yang adalah kakak kandung Dina— membawa pedang mereka dan menyerang kota itu secara tiba-tiba serta membantai semua laki-laki di sana.
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.
Mereka juga membunuh Hemor dan Sikem, lalu membawa Dina pulang dari rumah Sikem.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city; because they had defiled their sister.
Sesudah pembantaian itu, anak-anak Yakub yang lain menjarah kota sebagai pembalasan karena saudara perempuan mereka sudah dinodai.
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.
Mereka mengambil semua ternak domba, sapi, dan keledai, juga segala sesuatu yang ada di dalam kota maupun di ladang-ladang sekitarnya.
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.
Mereka mengambil semua kekayaan dan harta benda dari rumah-rumah, serta menawan anak-anak kecil dan para perempuan.
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.
Yakub berkata kepada Simeon dan Lewi, “Kalian sudah membawa malapetaka bagiku dengan membusukkan nama baikku di mata orang Kanaan, Feris, dan semua penduduk negeri ini. Mereka akan bersatu menyerang keluarga kita yang jumlahnya sedikit, dan kita akan binasa.”
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister, as with a harlot?
Tetapi jawab Simeon dan Lewi, “Pantaskah dia memperlakukan adik kita seperti pelacur?”
