< Jenèz 34 >

1 Alò, Dina, fi Léa te fè pou Jacob la te sòti pou vizite fi peyi yo nan kote sa a.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Lè Sichem, fis Hamor a, Evyen an, prens nan peyi a te wè li, li te pran li, e pa lafòs, li te kouche avèk 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 Li te vrèman atire a Dina, fi Jacob la. Li te renmen fi a, e li te pale ak dousè avè l.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 Alò, Sichem te pale avèk papa l Hamor. Li te di: “Fè m jwenn jèn fi sa a pou madanm.”
And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 Alò, Jacob te tande ke li te vyole Dina, fi li a, men fis li yo te avèk bèt yo nan chan an. Alò, li te rete san pale jis lè yo te vin antre.
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 Hamor, papa a Sichem, te vin deyò a pou pale avèk li.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 Alò, fis a Jacob yo te sòti nan chan an lè yo te tande koze sa a. Konsa, mesye yo te blese. Yo te vin byen fache, akoz ke li te fè yon choz meprizab an Israël lè li te kouche avèk fi Jacob la, paske yon 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 wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8 Men Hamor te pale avèk yo. Li te di: “Nanm fis mwen an, Sichem anvi fi ou a anpil. Pou sa, silvouplè, ba li li pou yo marye.
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9 Annou marye yo youn pou lòt. Bay fi ou yo a nou menm, e pran fi nou yo pou ou menm.
And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 Konsa, ou va viv avèk nou, e peyi a va vin ouvri devan nou. Viv ladann, e fè afè nou yo ladann.”
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 Sichem te di osi a papa ak frè a Dina, “Kite mwen twouve favè nan zye nou. Konsa, mwen va bannou nenpòt sa ke nou mande m.
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12 Mande m tan kòm pèyman avèk kado, e mwen va bannou nenpòt sa nou mande mwen, men ban mwen fi a pou marye.”
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 Konsa, fis Jacob yo te reponn Sichem avèk papa li Hamor avèk desepsyon, akoz ke li te vyole Dina, sè yo a.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 Yo te di yo: “Nou pa kapab fè bagay sa a, pou bay sè nou an a yon moun ki pa sikonsi. Sa ta yon wont pou nou tout.
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 Sou yon sèl kondisyon nou ta kapab dakò: si nou va vini tankou nou. Sa vle di ke chak mal nan nou ta vin sikonsi.
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we [be], that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Konsa, nou va bay sè nou yo a nou menm, nou va viv avèk nou e vin 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 koute nou pou vin sikonsi, alò, n ap pran sè nou an e ale.”
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Alò, pawòl pa yo a te parèt rezonab a Hamor avèk Sichem, fis Hamor a.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
19 Jennonm sa a pa t pèdi tan pou fè bagay la, paske li te tèlman kontan avèk fi Jacob la. Epi li te jwenn respe depase tout moun ki lakay papa li a.
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 Konsa, Hamor, avèk fis li a, Sichem te vini nan pòtay vil yo, li te pale avèk mesye nan vil yo, e li te di:
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 “Moun sa yo se zanmi nou yo ye; pou sa, annou kite yo viv nan peyi a pou fè komès ladann, paske, gade byen, peyi a ase gran pou yo. Annou pran fi yo an maryaj, e bay fi nou yo a yo menm.
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 “Se sèl sou kondisyon sa a ke moun sa yo va vin dakò pou vin viv avèk nou, pou vin yon sèl pèp; ke chak mal pami nou vin sikonsi tankou yo menm tou deja sikonsi a.
Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they [are] circumcised.
23 Se pa ke bèt, byen ak tout zannimo yo va vin pou nou? Sèlman annou vin dakò avèk yo, e yo va viv avèk nou.”
[Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24 Tout sa yo ki te sòti nan pòtay lavil la te koute Hamor, avèk fis li a, Sichem. Konsa, chak mal te sikonsi, tout moun ki te sòti nan pòtay vil 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 Alò, li te rive nan twazyèm jou a, lè yo te nan doulè, de nan fis a Jacob yo, Siméon avèk Lévi, frè a Dina yo, yo chak te pran nepe yo. Yo te vini sou vil la san yo pa konnen, e yo te touye tout mal 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 te touye Hamor avèk fis li a, Sichem, avèk lam file a nepe yo. Yo te pran Dina soti lakay Sichem nan, e yo te ale.
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 Fis Jacob yo te vini sou mò yo. Yo te piyaje vil la akoz ke yo te vyole sè yo a.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Yo te pran bann mouton, twoupo ak bourik, sa ki te nan vil la, ak sa ki te nan chan an.
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 Epi yo te kaptire e piyaje tout byen yo, tout pitit yo, madanm yo, menm tout sa ki te lakay yo.
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 Alò Jacob te di a Siméon avèk Lévi: “Nou vin pote pwoblèm pou mwen akoz ke nou fè m vin rayi pa abitan peyi yo, pami Kananeyen avèk Ferezyen yo. Epi akoz ke gason nou yo pa anpil, yo va rasanble kont mwen, pou atake mwen, e mwen va vin detwi, mwen menm avèk tout lakay mwen.”
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye 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 yo te di: “Èske yo ta dwe trete sè nou an tankou yon pwostitiye?”
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
