< Farawa 34 >
1 To, Dina,’yar da Liyatu ta haifa wa Yaƙub, ta je ta ziyarci matan ƙasar.
And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
2 Sa’ad da Shekem ɗan Hamor Bahiwiye mai mulkin wurin ya gan ta, sai ya kama ta, ya kwana da ita, ya ɓata ta.
And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Zuciyarsa kuwa ta damu da son Dina’yar Yaƙub, ya kuwa ƙaunaci yarinyar, ya yi mata magana a hankali.
And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.
4 Sai Shekem ya ce wa mahaifinsa Hamor, “Ka auro mini wannan yarinya ta zama matata.”
Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
5 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya ji cewa an ɓata’yarsa Dina, sai ya yi shiru game da batun sai’ya’yansa maza sun dawo gida, gama’ya’yansa suna a jeji tare da dabbobinsa suna kiwo.
And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.
6 Sai Hamor mahaifin Shekem ya je don yă yi magana da Yaƙub.
And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
7 Da’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka dawo daga jeji sai suka ji labarin. Abin kuwa ya zafe su ƙwarai, don Shekem ya jawo abin kunya wa jama’ar Isra’ila ta wurin kwana da’yar Yaƙub, don bai kamata wannan abu yă faru ba.
And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.
8 Amma Hamor ya ce musu, “Ɗana Shekem ya sa zuciyarsa a kan’yarku. Ina roƙonku ku ba shi ita yă aura.
And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,
9 Ku yi auratayya da mu; ku aurar mana da’ya’yanku mata, ku kuma ku auro’ya’yanmu mata wa kanku.
and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
10 Za ku iya zauna a cikinmu, ƙasar tana nan a buɗe dominku. Ku yi zama a cikinta, ku yi sana’a, ku kuma sami dukiya.”
And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.
11 Sai Shekem ya ce wa mahaifin Dina da kuma’yan’uwanta. “Bari in sami tagomashi a idanunku, zan kuwa ba ku duk abin da kuka tambaya.
And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever ye shall name.
12 Ku faɗa mini nawa ne dukiyar aure da kuma sadakin da zan kawo bisa ga yadda kuke so, zan kuwa biya duk abin da kuka ce. Ku dai bar ni in aure yarinyar ta zama matata.”
Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as ye shall say to me, only ye shall give me this damsel for a wife.
13 Domin an ɓata’yar’uwansu Dina, sai’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka amsa a ha’ince yayinda suke wa Shekem da mahaifinsa Hamor magana.
And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.
14 Suka ce musu, “Ba za mu iya yin wannan abu ba, ba za mu iya ba da’yar’uwarmu ga mutumin da ba shi da kaciya ba. Wannan zai zama abin kunya ne a gare mu.
And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.
15 Za mu yarda da wannan kaɗai ta wannan sharaɗi, cewa za ku zama kamar mu ta wurin yin wa dukan’ya’yanku maza kaciya.
Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if ye also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
16 Sa’an nan za mu ba da’ya’yanmu mata aure gare ku, mu kuma mu aure’ya’yanku mata wa kanmu. Za mu zauna a cikinku mu kuma zama mutane ɗaya da ku.
And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.
17 Amma in ba za ku yarda a yi muku kaciya ba, za mu ɗauki’yar’uwanmu mu tafi.”
But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
18 Sharuɗansu sun gamshi Hamor da ɗansa, Shekem.
And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
19 Saurayin wanda aka fi girmamawa a cikin dukan gidan mahaifinsa, bai ɓata lokaci a yin abin da suka ce ba, domin ya ji daɗin’yar Yaƙub.
And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honourable of all in his father's house.
20 Saboda haka Hamor da ɗansa Shekem suka tafi ƙofar birninsu don su yi magana da mutanen garinsu.
And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 Suka ce, “Waɗannan mutane ba su da damuwa, bari su zauna a cikin ƙasarmu, su kuma yi sana’a a ciki; ƙasar tana da isashen fili dominsu. Za mu iya auro’ya’yansu mata, su kuma su auri namu.
These men are peaceable, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.
22 Amma mutanen za su yarda su zauna tare da mu kamar mutane ɗaya kawai bisa wannan sharaɗi, cewa a yi wa mazanmu kaciya, kamar yadda su kansu suke.
Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.
23 Ashe, shanunsu, dukiyarsu da dukan sauran dabbobinsu, ba za su zama namu ba? Saboda haka mu yarda, za su kuwa zauna a cikinmu.”
And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.
24 Dukan mazan da suka fito ƙofar birnin suka yarda da Hamor da kuma ɗansa Shekem, aka kuwa yi wa kowane namiji a birnin kaciya.
And all that went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
25 Bayan kwana uku, yayinda dukansu suna cikin zafi mikin kaciya, sai biyu daga cikin’ya’yan Yaƙub maza, Simeyon da Lawi,’yan’uwan Dina, suka ɗauki takubansu suka fāɗa wa birnin ba labari, suka kashe kowane namiji.
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male.
26 Suka kashe Hamor da ɗansa Shekem da takobi, suka ɗauko Dina daga gidan Shekem suka tafi.
And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
27 Sa’an nan’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka bi kan gawawwakin, suka washe arzikin birni saboda an ɓata’yar’uwarsu.
But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
28 Suka kwashe garkunansu na shanu da jakuna, da kuma kome na mutanen a birnin da kuma cikin gonaki.
And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain.
29 Suka kwashe dukan dukiyarsu da dukan matansu da’ya’yansu, suka kwashe kome da yake cikin gidaje.
And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.
30 Sai Yaƙub ya ce wa Simeyon da Lawi, “Kun jawo mini wahala ta wurin sa in zama abin ƙi ga Kan’aniyawa da Ferizziyawa, mazaunan wannan ƙasa. Mu kima ne, in kuwa suka haɗa kai gāba da ni, suka fāɗa mini, za su hallaka ni da gidana.”
And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
31 Amma’ya’yansa suka amsa, “To, ya dace ke nan da ya yi da’yar’uwarmu kamar karuwa?”
And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
