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.
Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went out to meet the young women of the land.
2 Ke esi Fia Hamor, Hivitɔ ƒe viŋutsu, Sekem kpɔe la, elée hedɔ egbɔ sesẽtɔe.
Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her and he grabbed her, assaulted her, and slept with her.
3 Sekem lɔ̃ Dina si nye Yakob ƒe vinyɔnu vevie, eye wòdze agbagba be eya hã nalɔ̃ ye to enubeble me.
He was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.
4 Sekem gblɔ na fofoa Hamor be, “Medi be maɖe ɖetugbi sia, eya ta ɖee nam.”
Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get this young woman for me as a 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.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. His sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Tete Sekem fofo, Hamor do go be yeaƒo nu kple Yakob.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out 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.
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of the matter. The men were offended. They were very angry because he had disgraced Israel by forcing himself on Jacob's daughter, for such a thing should not have been 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.
Hamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem loves your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Mina míaɖe srɔ̃ le mía nɔewo dome; mitsɔ miaƒe vinyɔnuwo na mí, eye míawo hã míatsɔ míaƒe vinyɔnuwo na mi miaɖe.
Intermarry with us, give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Miate ŋu atsi mía dome; anyigba la li faa na mi. Minɔ edzi, mitsa asi le edzi, eye miakpɔ viɖe le edzi.”
You will live with us, and the land will be open to you to live and trade in, and to acquire property.”
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.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you tell me I will give.
12 Tabianu alo nunana ka ke miabia la, mana mi; mina wòazu srɔ̃nye ko!”
Ask me for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me, but give me the young woman as a wife.”
13 Yakob ƒe viŋutsuwo ble Sekem kple Hamor; wowɔ nu madzɔmadzɔ sia ɖe nu si Sekem wɔ ɖe wo nɔvinyɔnu Dina ŋu ta.
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, because Shechem 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.
They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to anyone who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 Nu si míawɔ lae nye be ne miaƒe ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atso aʋa la,
Only on this condition will we agree with you: If you will become circumcised as we are, if every male among you is 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 to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live with you and 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 you do not listen to us and become circumcised, then we will take our sister and we will leave.”
18 Nya sia trɔ na Hamor kple Via ŋutsu Sekem.
Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
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.
The young man did not delay to do what they said, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and because he was the most honored person in all his father's household.
20 Ale Hamor kple Sekem wɔ takpekpe kple dua me ŋutsuwo katã le dua ƒe agbo nu, eye wòtsɔ nya la ɖo wo ŋkume.
Hamor and Shechem his son went to 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 at peace with us, so let them live in the land and trade in it for, really, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters.
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 on this condition will the men agree to live with us and become one people: If every male among us is 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.”
Will not their livestock and their property—all their animals be ours? So let us agree with them, and they will live among 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.
All the men of the city listened to Hamor and Shechem, his son. Every male was circumcised.
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.
On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob (Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers), each took his sword and they attacked the city that was certain of its security, and they killed all the males.
26 Wowu Hamor kple Sekem hã, eye wokplɔ Dina tso Sekem ƒe aƒe me hetrɔ yi wo nɔƒe.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword. They took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
27 Emegbe Yakob ƒe viwo katã yi dua me, eye woha nuwo le dua me ɖe esi wogblẽ wo nɔvinyɔnu la ta.
The other sons of Jacob came to the dead bodies and looted the city, because the people 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 flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and everything in the city and in the surrounding fields with
29 Wokplɔ woƒe nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo siaa dzoe, eye woha kesinɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi.
all their wealth. All their children and their wives, they captured. They even took everything that was in the houses.
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.”
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, to make me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. If they gather themselves together against me and attack me, then I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
31 Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe wònyo be Sekem nabu mía nɔvinyɔnu la abe gbolo enea?”
But Simeon and Levi said, “Should Shechem have dealt with our sister as with a prostitute?”
