< Jenèz 34 >

1 Dena, pitit fi Leya te fè pou Jakòb la, te soti al rann medam peyi a vizit.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Lè sa a, Sichèm, pitit Amò, moun Evi a, te chèf nan kanton an. Lè li wè Dena, li mete men sou li, li fè kadejak sou li.
And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3 Men Sichèm te tonbe damou pou Dena, pitit fi Jakòb la. Li te pale dous ak tifi a, paske li te renmen l'.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly unto the damsel.
4 Sichèm di Amò, papa l': -Al mande pou fi sa a pou mwen.
And Shechem spoke unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 Jakòb vin konnen Sichèm te fè kadejak sou Dena, pitit fi li a. Men, paske pitit gason l' yo te nan savann ak bèt yo, li pa di anyen jouk lè yo tounen.
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 Amò, papa Sichèm, ale bò kot Jakòb pou fè yon pale sou sa avè l'.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 Lè sa a, pitit gason Jakòb yo t'ap tounen soti nan savann. Lè yo pran nouvèl la, yo te move, yo te fache anpil, paske Sichèm te fè yon bagay grav: li te avili moun Izrayèl yo lè l' te fè kadejak sou pitit fi Jakòb la. Bagay konsa pa t' dwe fèt.
And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing ought not to be done.
8 Amò di yo konsa: -Pitit gason m' lan, Sichèm, fin fou pou fi nou an. Tanpri, kite li marye avè l'.
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9 Ann pase kontra yonn ak lòt pou nou zanmi. n'a ban nou nan pitit fi nou yo pou madanm pitit gason nou yo. n'a pran nan pitit fi nou yo pou madanm pitit gason nou yo.
And make all of you marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 Konsa n'a rete ansanm ak nou nan peyi a. n'a rete kote nou vle, n'a fè kòmès jan nou vle, n'a achte tè nou vle.
And all of you shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade all of you therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 Apre sa, Sichèm di papa ak frè Dena yo: -Fè m' favè sa a, tanpri. m'a ban nou tout sa nou vle.
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what all of you shall say unto me I will give.
12 Di m' kisa pou m' fè nou kado. Nou mèt mande m' nenpòt ki gwo pri pou maryaj la. M'ap ban nou tout sa n'a mande m'. Men, se pou nou dakò. Kite m' marye ak fi a.
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as all of you shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 Men pitit gason Jakòb yo bay Sichèm ak Amò, papa li, yon repons pou woule yo. Paske Sichèm te avili sè yo a, yo t'ap pare yon move kou pou yo.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 Yo di yo: -Nou pa ka kite sè nou an marye ak yon nonm ki pa sikonsi. Se va yon avilisman pou nou.
And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15 N'ap dakò nan yon sèl kondisyon. Se pou nou vin menm jan ak nou, se pou tout gason nan kanton an sikonsi tankou nou.
But in this will we consent unto you: If all of you will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Lè sa a atò, n'a kite sè nou an marye avè ou. Nou menm tout n'a ka marye ak pitit fi ou yo. n'a rete nan peyi a ansanm ansanm, n'a tounen yon sèl pèp.
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 Men, si nou pa dakò ak kondisyon sa a, si nou pa vle pou yo sikonsi nou, n'ap pran sè nou an, epi nou pral fè wout nou.
But if all of you will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, tonbe dakò ak yo pou kondisyon an.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19 Se konsa jenn gason an te prese fè sa yo te mande l' fè a, paske li te renmen pitit fi Jakòb la anpil. tout moun kay papa l' te konsidere l' anpil.
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
20 Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, al nan pòtay lavil la, kote tout moun yo te konn reyini, yo pale ak moun peyi a. Yo di yo:
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 -Mesye sa yo, se pa moun ki vin pou kont. Ann kite yo rete nan peyi a. Ann kite yo fè trafik yo. Peyi a gen kont plas pou yo. Ann marye ak pitit fi yo, ann kite yo marye ak pitit fi nou yo.
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22 Mesye sa yo dakò pou yo rete ansanm ak nou, pou nou fè yon sèl pèp. Men yo pase yon kondisyon: se pou tout gason nan mitan nou sikonsi, menm jan yo menm yo sikonsi a.
Only herein will the men consent unto us in order to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Konsa, tout bèt yo, tout byen yo, tout zannimo yo ap vin pou nou yon lè. Se asepte pou n' asepte kondisyon an pou yo ka rete viv ansanm ak nou.
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24 tout moun ki te reyini bò pòtay lavil la te tonbe dakò ak sa Amò ak Sichèm, pitit li a, te di yo. Se konsa yo sikonsi tout gason ki te la bò pòtay lavil la.
And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25 Twa jou apre, mesye yo t'ap soufri ak sikonsizyon an toujou lè de nan pitit gason Jakòb yo, Simeyon ak Levi, frè menm manman ak Dena yo, pran nepe yo, yo antre nan lavil la san pesonn pa sispèk anyen, yo touye tout gason yo.
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 brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26 Yo touye Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, yo pran Dena, yo fè l' kite kay Sichèm lan, y al fè wout yo avè l'.
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27 Lòt pitit Jakòb yo menm jete kò yo sou kadav yo, yo piye lavil la byen piye, paske moun lavil la te avili sè yo a.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Apre sa, yo pran tout bèt, tout bèf, tout bourik ak tout sa ki te nan lavil la ak nan jaden yo.
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 Yo pran tout richès ak tout sa ki te nan kay mesye yo pote ale, yo fè tout pitit yo ak tout medam yo prizonye.
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
30 Apre sa, Jakòb rele Simeyon ak Levi, li di yo: -Gade nan ki traka nou mete m'. Koulye a, moun ki rete nan peyi a, moun Kanaran yo ak moun Perezi yo, pral rayi m'. Mwen pa gen anpil moun. Si yo mete ansanm sou do mwen pou atake m', y'ap touye m' ansanm ak tout moun lakay mwen.
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, All of you have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Men Simeyon ak Levi reponn: -Atò, se pou nou te kite yo trete sè nou an tankou nenpòt jennès!
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
