< Genesis 34 >

1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
レアのヤコブに生たる女デナその國の婦女を見んとていでゆきしが
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
その國の君主なるヒビ人ハモルの子シケムこれを見て之をひきいれこれと寢てこれを辱しむ
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
而してその心ふかくヤコブの女デナを戀ひて彼此女を愛しこの女の心をいひなだむ
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
斯てシケムその父ハモルに語り此少き女をわが妻に獲よといへり
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
ヤコブ彼がその女子デナを汚したることを聞しかどもその子等家畜を牧て野にをりしによりて其かへるまでヤコブ默しゐたり
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
シケムの父ハモル、ヤコブの許にいできたりて之と語らふ
7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
茲にヤコブの子等野より來りしが之を聞しかば其人々憂へかつ甚く怒れり是はシケムがヤコブの女と寢てイスラエルに愚なる事をなしたるに因り是のごとき事はなすべからざる者なればなり
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
ハモル彼等に語りていひけるはわが子シケム心になんぢの女を戀ふねがはくは彼をシケムにあたへて妻となさしめよ
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
汝ら我らと婚姻をなし汝らの女を我らにあたへ我らの女汝らに娶れ
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
かくして汝等われらとともに居るべし地は汝等の前にあり此に住て貿易をなし此にて產業を獲よ
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
シケム又デナの父と兄弟等にいひけるは我をして汝等の目のまへに恩を獲せしめよ汝らが我にいふところの者は我あたへん
12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
いかに大なる聘物と禮物を要るも汝らがわれに言ふごとくあたへん唯この女を我にあたへて妻となさしめよ
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
ヤコブの子等シケムとその父ハモルに詭りて答へたり即ちシケムがその妹デナを汚したるによりて
14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
彼等これに語りていひけるは我等この事を爲あたはず割禮をうけざる者にわれらの妹をあたふるあたはず是われらの恥辱なればなり
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
然ど斯せば我等汝らに允さん若し汝らの中の男子みな割禮をうけてわれらの如くならば
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.
我等の女子を汝等にあたへ汝らの女子をわれらに娶り汝らと偕にをりて一の民とならん
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
汝等もし我等に聽ずして割禮をうけずば我等女子をとりて去べしと
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
彼等の言ハモルとハモルの子シケムの心にかなへり
19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
此若き人ヤコブの女を愛するによりて其事をなすを遲せざりき彼はその父の家の中にて最貴れたる者なり
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
ハモルとその子シケム乃ちその邑の門にいたり邑の人々に語りていひけるは
21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
是人々は我等と睦し彼等をして此地に住て此に貿易をなさしめよ地は廣くして彼らを容るにたるなり我ら彼らの女を妻にめとり我らの女をかれらに與へん
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
若唯われらの中の男子みな彼らが割禮をうくるごとく割禮を受なば此人々われらに聽て我等と偕にをり一の民となるべし
23 Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
然ばかれらの家畜と財產と其諸の畜は我等が所有となるにあらずや只かれらに聽んしからば彼らわれらとともにをるべしと
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
邑の門に出入する者みなハモルとその子シケムに聽したがひ邑の門に出入する男子皆割禮を受たり
25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
斯て三日におよび彼等その痛をおぼゆる時ヤコブの子二人即ちデナの兄弟なるシメオンとレビ各劍をとり往て思よらざる時に邑を襲ひ男子を悉く殺し
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
利刄をもてハモルとその子シケムをころしシケムの家よりデナを携へいでたり
27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
而してヤコブの子等ゆきて其殺されし者を剥ぎ其邑をかすめたり是彼等がその妹を汚したるによりてなり
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
またその羊と牛と驢馬およびその邑にある者と野にある者
29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
並にその諸の貨財を奪ひその子女と妻等を悉く擄にし家の中なる物を悉く掠めたり
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
ヤコブ、シメオンとレビに言けるは汝等我を累はし我をして此國の人即ちカナン人とベリジ人の中に避嫌れしむ我は數すくなければ彼ら集りて我をせめ我をころさん然ば我とわが家滅さるべし
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
彼らいふ彼豈われらの妹を娼妓のごとくしてよからんや
