Genesis 34
1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on the daughters of the land,
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liae ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
2 and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth her;
Quam cum vidisset Sichem filius Hemor Hevaei, princeps terrae illius, adamavit eam: et rapuit, et dormivit cum illa, vi opprimens virginem.
3 and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.
Et conglutinata est anima eius cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, 'Take for me this damsel for a wife.'
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum, Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc coniugem.
5 And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.
Quod cum audisset Iacob, absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Iacob,
7 and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob — and so it is not done.
ecce filii eius veniebant de agro: auditoque quod acciderat, irati sunt valde, eo quod foedam rem operatus esset in Israel et, violata filia Iacob, rem illicitam perpetrasset.
8 And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, 'Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for a wife,
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhaesit anima filiae vestrae: date eam illi uxorem:
9 and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,
et iungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite.
10 and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.'
Et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est, exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
11 And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, 'Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I give;
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres eius ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quaecumque statueritis, dabo:
12 multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.'
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their sister),
Responderunt filii Iacob Sichem et patri eius in dolo, saevientes ob stuprum sororis:
14 and say unto them, 'We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a reproach to us.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 'Only for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
Sed in hoc valebimus foederari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omnis masculini sexus;
16 then we have given our daughters to you, and your daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras, ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus:
17 and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.'
si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son;
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio eius:
19 and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he is honourable above all the house of his father.
nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret: amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.
20 And Hamor cometh — Shechem his son also — unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
21 'These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.
Viri isti pacifici sunt, et volunt habitare nobiscum: negotientur in terra, et exerceant eam, quae spatiosa et lata cultoribus indiget: filias eorum accipiemus uxores, et nostras illis dabimus.
22 'Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: Si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
23 their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts — are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.'
Et substantia eorum, et pecora, et cuncta quae possident, nostra erunt: tantum in hoc acquiescamus, et habitantes simul, unum efficiamus populum.
24 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
25 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
Et ecce, die tertio quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est: arreptis, duo filii Iacob, Simeon et Levi fratres Dinae, gladiis, ingressi sunt urbem confidenter: interfectisque omnibus masculis,
26 and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house, and go out.
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 Jacob's sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Iacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
28 their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quae in domibus et in agris erant,
29 and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
30 And Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, 'Ye have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.'
Quibus patratis audacter, Iacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi: Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananaeis, et Pherezaeis habitatoribus terrae huius. nos pauci sumus: illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.
31 And they say, 'As a harlot doth he make our sister?'
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
