Jenèz 34
1 Dena, pitit fi Leya te fè pou Jakòb la, te soti al rann medam peyi a vizit.
Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, —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 Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the land, saw her, —so he took her, and lay with her, and humbled 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, daughter of Jacob, —and he loved the young woman, and spake to the heart of the young woman.
4 Sichèm di Amò, papa l': -Al mande pou fi sa a pou mwen.
Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying, —Take me this girl 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.
Now, Jacob, had heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, but, his sons, happened to be with his cattle in the field, —so Jacob kept quiet until they came in.
6 Amò, papa Sichèm, ale bò kot Jakòb pou fè yon pale sou sa avè l'.
Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, —to speak 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.
Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, —for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, seeing that so, it should not be done.
8 Amò di yo konsa: -Pitit gason m' lan, Sichèm, fin fou pou fi nou an. Tanpri, kite li marye avè l'.
So then Hamor spake with them saying—As for Shechem my son, his soul hath become attached to your daughter, —I pray you give her to 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 exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, —your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to 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 with us, shall ye dwell, —and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get 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.
Then said Shechem unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes, —and, whatsoever ye may say unto me, will I 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.
Heap on me, exceedingly, dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me, —but give me the young woman, 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 spake (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 said unto them—We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man that is uncircumcised, —for a reproach, it would be to 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.
Only herein, can we consent to you, —If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male,
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 to you, and your daughters, will we take to us, —and we will dwell with you, and 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 ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone.
18 Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, tonbe dakò ak yo pou kondisyon an.
And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, —and in the eyes of 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, —he, moreover being 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:
So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, —and they spake unto 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.
As for these men, in peace, they are with us—let them therefore dwell in the land and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands before them, —their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and our daughters, let us give to them.
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 to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, —If we circumcise to us every male, even 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.
Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may 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 they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, —and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth 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 in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came in upon the city, boldly, —and slew every, male;
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'.
Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword, —and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth,
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 in upon the slain and plundered 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.
their flocks, and their herds and their asses, —and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, they took;
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 women, took they captive, and seized as plunder, —even all that was in their houses.
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.
Then said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi—Ye have troubled me by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites, —I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves, together against me and smite me, —and I shall be destroyed both 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, —As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.
