< Kĩambĩrĩria 34 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe, Dina mũirĩtu ũrĩa Lea aaciarĩire Jakubu, nĩathiire gũceerera andũ-a-nja a bũrũri ũcio.
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 Na rĩrĩa Shekemu mũrũ wa Hamoru ũrĩa Mũhivi, mũnene wa gĩcigo kĩu aamuonire, akĩmũnyiita, agĩkoma nake na hinya.
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
3 Na ngoro yake ĩkĩguucĩrĩrio nĩ Dina mwarĩ ũcio wa Jakubu, na akĩenda mũirĩtu ũcio na akĩmwarĩria wega.
Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
4 Nake Shekemu akĩĩra ithe Hamoru atĩrĩ, “Njarĩrĩria harĩ ithe wa mũirĩtu ũyũ atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 Rĩrĩa Jakubu aiguire atĩ mwarĩ Dina nĩarĩkĩtie gũthũkio-rĩ, na tondũ ariũ ake maarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ na mahiũ make, agĩkira na ũhoro ũcio o nginya rĩrĩa mainũkire.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu agĩthiĩ kwaria na Jakubu.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Nao ariũ a Jakubu nĩmainũkĩte kuuma mĩgũnda-inĩ maigua ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte. Nao makĩiyũrwo nĩ kĩeha na mangʼũrĩ, tondũ Shekemu nĩekĩte ũndũ wa thoni thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, nĩ gũkoma na mwarĩ wa Jakubu, ũndũ ũrĩa ũtagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkwo.
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 disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
8 No Hamoru akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngoro ya mũrũ wakwa Shekemu nĩĩguucĩrĩirio nĩ mwarĩ wanyu. Ndamũthaitha ĩtĩkĩrai amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Rekei tũhikanagie; mũtũheage airĩtu anyu na inyuĩ tũkamũheaga airĩtu aitũ.
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Inyuĩ no mũtũũre hamwe na ithuĩ; bũrũri ũyũ gũtirĩ handũ mũrigĩrĩirio. Tũũrai kuo, mwonjorithagie kuo, na mwĩgĩĩre na indo ciaguo.”
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Ningĩ Shekemu akĩĩra ithe wa Dina na ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Rekei njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ manyu na nĩngũmũhe o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩnjĩtia.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
12 Njĩtiai rũracio rwa mũhiki na kĩheo kĩrĩa ingĩrehe, o mũigana ũrĩa mũngĩenda, na nĩngũrĩha o kĩrĩa gĩothe mũngĩnjĩtia. No ndamũthaitha mũũhe mũirĩtu ũyũ atuĩke mũtumia wakwa.”
Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
13 Na tondũ mwarĩ wa nyina Dina nĩarĩkĩtie gũthũkio-rĩ, ariũ a Jakubu rĩrĩa maaragia na Shekemu na ithe Hamoru, magĩcookia ũhoro ũcio na njĩra ya maheeni.
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 Makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩĩka ũndũ ta ũcio; tũtingĩheana mwarĩ witũ kũrĩ mũndũ ũtarĩ mũruu. Ũndũ ũcio no ũtuĩke wa gũtũnyararithia.
And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 Tũkũmwĩtĩkĩria tondũ wa gĩtũmi o kĩmwe tu; inyuĩ mũtuĩke ta ithuĩ na ũndũ wa kũruithia arũme anyu othe.
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũrĩhikagia airĩtu aitũ na nĩtũrĩhikagia airĩtu anyu. Nĩtũgũtũũrania na inyuĩ na tũtuĩke andũ amwe.
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 No angĩkorwo mũtigwĩtĩkĩra kũrua-rĩ, tũkuoya mwarĩ witũ twĩthiĩre.”
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Ũhoro ũcio ũkĩoneka ũrĩ mwega nĩ Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 Tondũ nĩwe warĩ mũtĩĩe mũno kũrĩ andũ othe a nyũmba ya ithe, mwanake ũcio ndaateire ihinda rĩa gwĩka ũrĩa moigire, tondũ nĩakenetio nĩ mwarĩ wa Jakubu.
The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu magĩthiĩ kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩao inene makaarie na andũ ao a itũũra rĩu.
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya nĩ arata aitũ; rekei matũũre bũrũri-inĩ witũ na monjorithagie kuo; bũrũri ũyũ nĩ mũnene wa kũmaigana. Ithuĩ no tũhikie airĩtu ao, nao no mahikie airĩtu aitũ.
"These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters.
22 No andũ acio mangĩtĩkĩra gũtũũrania na ithuĩ ta rũrĩrĩ rũmwe angĩkorwo arũme aitũ othe nĩmekũrua, o ta ũrĩa o maruĩte.
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Githĩ mahiũ mao, na indo ciao ciothe, o na nyamũ iria ingĩ ciao ciothe itigũgĩtuĩka ciitũ? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rekei tũmetĩkĩre, na nĩ megũtũũrania na ithuĩ.”
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
24 Arũme arĩa othe maathiĩte kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene magĩĩtĩkania na Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu, na arũme othe a itũũra rĩu makĩrua.
All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa othe maarĩ na ruo ariũ eerĩ a Jakubu, Simeoni na Lawi, ariũ a nyina na Dina, makĩoya hiũ ciao cia njora magĩtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa rĩtekũũaga makĩũraga arũme othe.
It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26 Ningĩ makĩũraga Hamoru na mũriũ Shekemu na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makĩruta Dina nyũmba-inĩ ya Shekemu, magĩĩthiĩra.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Ariũ arĩa angĩ a Jakubu magĩkinya kũu ciimba ciarĩ, na magĩĩtahĩra indo cia itũũra rĩu mwarĩ wa ithe wao aathũkĩirio.
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Nao magĩtaha ndũũru cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe na ndigiri, na indo iria ingĩ ciao ciothe iria ciarĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, na iria ciarĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ.
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 Na magĩkuua ũtonga wothe wa itũũra, na atumia othe na ciana, magĩtaha indo ciothe iria ciarĩ nyũmba-inĩ icio.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
30 Nake Jakubu akĩĩra Simeoni na Lawi atĩrĩ, “Nĩmwandehera thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wa gũtũma menwo nĩ Akaanani na Aperizi, andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũyũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ anini tũgĩtarwo, na mangĩnyiitana manjũkĩrĩre na matharĩkĩre-rĩ, niĩ na nyũmba yakwa no tũniinwo.”
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on 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 attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
31 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩkũraagĩrĩire atue mwarĩ wa maitũ ta mũmaraya?”
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
