Mose 1 34
1 Gbe ɖeka la, Dina, Lea ƒe vinyɔnu si wòdzi na Yakob la ɖi tsa be yeakpɔ ye xɔlɔ̃ ɖetugbi aɖewo ɖa.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had born unto Jacob, went out to look about among the daughters of the land.
2 Ke esi Fia Hamor, Hivitɔ ƒe viŋutsu, Sekem kpɔe la, elée hedɔ egbɔ sesẽtɔe.
And Shechem the son of Chamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and did her violence.
3 Sekem lɔ̃ Dina si nye Yakob ƒe vinyɔnu vevie, eye wòdze agbagba be eya hã nalɔ̃ ye to enubeble me.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke kindly unto the maiden.
4 Sekem gblɔ na fofoa Hamor be, “Medi be maɖe ɖetugbi sia, eya ta ɖee nam.”
And Shechem spoke unto Chamor his father, saying, Get me this girl for wife.
5 Nu si Sekem wɔ ɖe Dina ŋu la va ɖo Yakob ƒe to me. Esi via ŋutsuwo nɔ nyi kplɔm le gbedzi hafi wòse nya la ta la, mewɔ naneke tso nya la ŋu o va se ɖe esime via ŋutsuawo trɔ gbɔ.
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 Tete Sekem fofo, Hamor do go be yeaƒo nu kple Yakob.
And Chamor the father of Shechem went out unto to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Azɔ la, Yakob ƒe viŋutsuwo gbɔ tso gbedzi esime wose nya si dzɔ la. Vevesese kple dziku yɔ wo me, elabena Sekem wɔ ŋukpenanu le Israel esime wòdɔ Yakob ƒe vinyɔnu gbɔ sesẽtɔe, nu si mele be wòawɔ o.
And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it, and the men were grieved, and it excited their anger greatly; because he had wrought a disgraceful thing in Israel to lie with the daughter of Jacob, and this ought not to be done.
8 Hamor gblɔ na Yakob be, “Vinye Sekem lɔ̃ viwò Dina ŋutɔ, eye wòdi vevie be wòazu ye srɔ̃. Meɖe kuku, ɖe mɔ nɛ wòaɖee.
And Chamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of Shechem my son longeth for your daughter; give her, I pray you, unto him for wife.
9 Mina míaɖe srɔ̃ le mía nɔewo dome; mitsɔ miaƒe vinyɔnuwo na mí, eye míawo hã míatsɔ míaƒe vinyɔnuwo na mi miaɖe.
And intermarry with us; your daughters ye shall give unto us, and our daughters ye may take unto yourselves.
10 Miate ŋu atsi mía dome; anyigba la li faa na mi. Minɔ edzi, mitsa asi le edzi, eye miakpɔ viɖe le edzi.”
And with us shall ye dwell; and the land shall be open before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and acquire possessions therein.
11 Emegbe la, Sekem gblɔ na Dina fofo kple nɔvia ŋutsuwo be, “Meɖe kuku, mive nunye, eye miana Dina nazu srɔ̃nye. Mana nu sia nu si miabia la mi.
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brother, Let me but find grace in your eyes, and whatever ye may say unto me, I will give.
12 Tabianu alo nunana ka ke miabia la, mana mi; mina wòazu srɔ̃nye ko!”
Ask of me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me; but give me the maiden for wife.
13 Yakob ƒe viŋutsuwo ble Sekem kple Hamor; wowɔ nu madzɔmadzɔ sia ɖe nu si Sekem wɔ ɖe wo nɔvinyɔnu Dina ŋu ta.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Chamor his father with cunning, and spoke; because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14 Wogblɔ be, “Míate ŋui gbeɖe o, elabena mietso aʋa o. Anye ŋukpe na mía nɔvinyɔnu la be wòaɖe bolobolotɔ.
And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach unto us.
15 Nu si míawɔ lae nye be ne miaƒe ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atso aʋa la,
But on this condition will we consent unto you; if ye will become as we are, that every male of you be circumcised:
16 ekema miaɖe míaƒe nyɔnuwo, eye míaƒe ŋutsuwo hã aɖe miaƒe nyɔnuwo, míanɔ mia gbɔ, eye míawɔ ɖeka kpli mi, míazu dukɔ ɖeka.
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters unto us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 “Ne mielɔ̃ ɖe edzi eye wotso aʋa na mi o la, ekema míaxɔ mía nɔvinyɔnu la, eye míaʋu le mia gbɔ.”
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and go our way.
18 Nya sia trɔ na Hamor kple Via ŋutsu Sekem.
And their words were pleasing in the eyes of Chamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Chamor.
19 Ɖekakpui la, ame si nye bubume wu ame bubuawo katã le fofoa ƒe aƒe me la wɔ ɖe ɖoɖo si wowɔ la dzi enumake, elabena elɔ̃ Yakob ƒe vinyɔnu la.
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter; and he was the most honored of all the house of his father.
20 Ale Hamor kple Sekem wɔ takpekpe kple dua me ŋutsuwo katã le dua ƒe agbo nu, eye wòtsɔ nya la ɖo wo ŋkume.
And Chamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
21 Hamor kple Sekem gblɔ be, “Ameawo nye mía xɔlɔ̃wo. Mina míana woatsi afi sia, anɔ mía dome, eye woawɔ woƒe dɔ, elabena míaƒe anyigba lolo; woakpɔ teƒe le edzi, woaɖe srɔ̃ tso mía dome, eye míawo hã míaɖe wo viwo.
These men are peaceably inclined with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; and the land, behold, it is large enough on all sides before them; their daughters we will take unto us for wives, and our daughters we will give unto them.
22 Ke hafi esia nate ŋu ava eme la, nu ɖeka koe wobia; eyae nye be míaƒe ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe natso aʋa abe woawo ene.
Only with this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 “Ne míewɔ esia la, ekema woƒe lãhawo, kesinɔnuwo kple dɔwɔlã siwo nye wo tɔ la azu mía tɔ, eye kesinɔnuwo ava míaƒe dukɔa me. Mina míalɔ̃ ɖe woƒe biabia sia dzi, ale be woanɔ mía dome.”
Their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs will they not be ours? only let us consent unto them, that they may dwell with us.
24 Ke Ŋutsu siwo katã va ƒo ƒu ɖe dua ƒe agbo nu la, ɖo to Hamor kple via Sekem eye wolɔ̃, wotso aʋa na wo katã.
And unto Chamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and all the males were circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25 Ke le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe esi abia le wo vem la, Yakob ƒe viŋutsu eve, Simeon kple Levi siwo nye Dina nɔviwo la tsɔ woƒe yiwo, ge ɖe dua me, eye wowu ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe.
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 brothers, took each his sword, and came upon the city unresisted and slew all the males.
26 Wowu Hamor kple Sekem hã, eye wokplɔ Dina tso Sekem ƒe aƒe me hetrɔ yi wo nɔƒe.
And they slew Chamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword; and they took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27 Emegbe Yakob ƒe viwo katã yi dua me, eye woha nuwo le dua me ɖe esi wogblẽ wo nɔvinyɔnu la ta.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Wolé woƒe alẽwo, nyiwo kple tedziwo kpakple nu siwo katã dzi woƒe asi su le dua me kple woƒe agblewo me la hã.
They took their sheep and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field.
29 Wokplɔ woƒe nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo siaa dzoe, eye woha kesinɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi.
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled; and all that was in the house.
30 Yakob gblɔ na Levi kple Simeon be, “Miena medze agɔ le anyigba sia dzi tɔwo katã, Kanaantɔwo kple Perizitɔwo siaa dzi. Míesɔ gbɔ o, eya ta ne woho aʋa ɖe mía ŋu la, woafiti mí, eye woawu mí katã.”
And Jacob said unto Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to cause me to be hated among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and as I am but few in number, they may gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I would be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe wònyo be Sekem nabu mía nɔvinyɔnu la abe gbolo enea?”
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
