Genesis 34
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Da koro bi, Lea ne Yakob ba Dina fii adi kɔsraa mmabaa a wɔwɔ wɔn mpɔtam hɔ no.
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
Bere a Hewifohene Hamor babarima Sekem huu Dina no, ɔkyeree no kɔtoo no mmonnaa.
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
Efi saa bere no, Sekem tuu nʼani sii Yakob ba Dina so. Ɔbɔɔ mmɔden ara sɛ ɔne no bɛkasa ama wapene so, na waware no.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
Ɛno nti, Sekem dii ho nkɔmmɔ kyerɛɛ nʼagya Hamor se, “Mepɛ sɛ meware ababaa yi, enti kɔka ne ho asɛm ma me!”
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.
Bere a Yakob tee sɛ Sekem akɔkyere ne babea Dina akɔto no mmonnaa no, na ne mmabarima no nyinaa ne wɔn agya anantwi wɔ wuram. Enti Yakob anka hwee kosii sɛ wɔbae.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
Sekem nʼagya Hamor kɔɔ Yakob nkyɛn ne no kodii nkɔmmɔ.
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.
Yakob mmabarima no tee wɔn nuabea Dina ho asɛm no pɛ, wofii wuram hɔ bae. Wɔn werɛ howee na wɔn bo nso fuw yiye, efisɛ Sekem ayɛ aniwude wɔ Israel. Ɔne Yakob babea dae, na eyi yɛ akyiwade.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
Nanso Hamor ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Me ba Sekem ani gye wo ba Dina ho. Mesrɛ wo, fa no ma no na ɔnware no.
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Mo ne yenni aware. Momfa mo mmabea mma yɛn, na yɛnware wɔn, na yɛn nso, yɛmfa yɛn mmabea mma mo aware.
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
Mubetumi ne yɛn atena. Asase yi nyinaa yɛ mo dea. Montena so, nni gua wɔ so, mpɛ mu agyapade.”
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favour in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
Na Sekem ka kyerɛɛ Dina nʼagya ne ne nuabarimanom no se “Munnye me nto mu. Biribiara a mubegye me no, metua.
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.”
Ɔbea no ti ade ne biribiara a mubegye aka ho no, mommɔ bo biara a mopɛ, na metua. Nea ehia me ara ne sɛ, mode ababaa no bɛma me aware.”
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Esiane sɛ na Sekem agu wɔn nuabea Dina ho fi no nti, mmuae a wɔmaa Sekem ne nʼagya Hamor no anyɛ nokware. Na mmom, na wɔwɔ adwene foforo bi wɔ akyi.
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.
Yakob mmabarima no ka kyerɛɛ Sekem ne nʼagya Hamor se, “Yɛrentumi mfa yɛn nuabea mma ɔbarima a ontwaa twetia aware. Sɛ yɛyɛ saa a, na yɛagu yɛn ho anim ase.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
Ansa na yɛde yɛn nuabea bɛma wo aware no, gye sɛ woatwitwa wo mmarima nyinaa twetia te sɛ yɛn.
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.
Sɛ moyɛ saa de a, yɛne mo bedi aware. Mobɛware yɛn mmea, na yɛn nso, yɛaware mo mmea. Yɛne mo bɛtena fɛfɛɛfɛ sɛ nnipa baako.
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
Sɛ moampene so amma wɔantwitwa mo twetia de a, yebegye yɛn nuabea de no akɔ.”
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
Asɛm a wɔkae no tɔɔ Hamor ne ne ba Sekem asom.
19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
Sekem a na ɔyɛ aberante a odi mu wɔ nʼagya mma nyinaa mu no antwentwɛn ne nan ase koraa. Okotwaa twetia no, sɛnea Yakob mma no kae no, efisɛ na ɔpɛ Yakob babea no yiye.
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
Enti Hamor ne ne ba Sekem kɔbɔɔ gua wɔ kurow no pon ano ne ɛhɔ mmarima kɔkasae se,
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.
“Yakob ne ne mma yi ne yɛn te yiye. Mompene so na wɔne yɛn ntena yɛn asase yi so, na yenni gua. Efisɛ yɛn asase yi so a yɛne wɔn bɛsen so. Yebetumi aware wɔn mmabea, na wɔn nso betumi aware yɛn de.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male amongst us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Nanso ansa na wɔn mmarima no bɛpene so ne yɛn atena sɛ nnipa koro no, gye sɛ yɛn mmarima nyinaa twitwa twetia, sɛnea wɔn nso wɔatwitwa twetia no.
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.”
Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔn mmoa, wɔn agyapade ne wɔn mmoa ahorow a ɛkeka ho no nyinaa remmɛyɛ yɛn de ana? Enti momma yɛmpene so mma wɔn, na yɛne wɔn ntena.”
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.
Mmarima a wokohyiaa Hamor ne ne ba Sekem wɔ kurow no pon ano no nyinaa ne wɔn yɛɛ adwene maa mmarima a wɔwɔ kurom hɔ nyinaa twitwaa twetia.
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.
Nnansa akyi a na twetiatwa no nti, kurom hɔ mmarima no nyinaa deda hɔ a wogye wɔn ho a ennye no, Yakob mmabarima baanu Simeon ne Lewi a wɔyɛ Dina nuabarimanom no faa wɔn mpeaw. Wɔkɔtow hyɛɛ kurow no so bere a wɔn ani nna wɔn ho so, kunkum mmarima a wɔwɔ kurom hɔ nyinaa.
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.
Wɔde peaw kum Hamor ne ne ba Sekem, na wɔfaa wɔn nuabea Dina fii Sekem fi de no kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Yakob mmabarima a wɔaka no nso tow hyɛɛ kurow no so. Wotiatiaa nnipa a wɔawuwu no so, fom kurow no mu nneɛma nyinaa pasaa, efisɛ ɛhɔ na Sekem guu wɔn nuabea Dina ho fi.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
Wɔfom wɔn mmoa, wɔn anantwi, wɔn nguan, wɔn mfurum ne wɔn agyapade biara a ɛwɔ kurow no mu ne nea ɛwɔ wuram nyinaa.
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.
Wɔfaa wɔn ahode, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mmea, fom wɔn afi mu nneɛma nyinaa.
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, amongst 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.”
Na Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Simeon ne Lewi se, “Mode ɔhaw abɛto me so, ama nnɛ me ho koraa abɔn Perisifo ne Kanaanfo a mete wɔn asase so yi. Yɛnnɔɔso. Sɛ wɔka wɔn ho bo mu bɛtow hyɛ yɛn so a, wɔbɛhyew me ne mʼasefo nyinaa.”
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
Na wobuaa wɔn agya se, “Enti anka yɛntena hɔ nhwɛ na ɔnyɛ yɛn nuabea sɛ oguamanfo ana?”
