Farawa 34
1 To, Dina,’yar da Liyatu ta haifa wa Yaƙub, ta je ta ziyarci matan ƙasar.
Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the local women.
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.
Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her. He grabbed hold of her and raped her.
3 Zuciyarsa kuwa ta damu da son Dina’yar Yaƙub, ya kuwa ƙaunaci yarinyar, ya yi mata magana a hankali.
However, then he fell deeply in love with Dinah and tried to get her to love him too.
4 Sai Shekem ya ce wa mahaifinsa Hamor, “Ka auro mini wannan yarinya ta zama matata.”
He went and asked his father, “Get this young girl for me so I can marry her.”
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.
Jacob found out that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, but as his sons were away looking after the flocks in the fields he didn't say anything until they came home.
6 Sai Hamor mahaifin Shekem ya je don yă yi magana da Yaƙub.
In the meantime Hamor, Shechem's father, arrived to talk with Jacob.
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.
When Jacob's sons returned from the fields they were very upset when they heard the news and became extremely angry because Shechem had done something outrageous in Israel by having sex with Jacob's daughter—something that should never be done.
8 Amma Hamor ya ce musu, “Ɗana Shekem ya sa zuciyarsa a kan’yarku. Ina roƙonku ku ba shi ita yă aura.
Hamor told them, “My son Shechem is very much in love with your daughter and your sister Dinah. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Ku yi auratayya da mu; ku aurar mana da’ya’yanku mata, ku kuma ku auro’ya’yanmu mata wa kanku.
In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.
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.”
You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”
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.
Then Shechem himself spoke up, and said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Please accept me and my proposal, and I'll do whatever you ask.
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.”
You can set the bride price as high as you like, and I'll pay it along with all the gifts I'll give. Just let me have the girl so I can marry her.”
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.
Jacob's sons weren't honest when they answered him and his father Hamor because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
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.
They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on 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.
We will only agree to it with this condition: all of you must be circumcised like us.
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.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters, and we will live among you and become one family.
17 Amma in ba za ku yarda a yi muku kaciya ba, za mu ɗauki’yar’uwanmu mu tafi.”
But if you don't agree with us that you should be circumcised, then we'll take our sister and leave.”
18 Sharuɗansu sun gamshi Hamor da ɗansa, Shekem.
Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to what was proposed.
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.
The young man Shechem didn't waste any time in arranging this because he was infatuated with Jacob's daughter, and he was viewed as the most important person in his father's family.
20 Saboda haka Hamor da ɗansa Shekem suka tafi ƙofar birninsu don su yi magana da mutanen garinsu.
Hamor and Shechem went to the town gate and spoke to the other leaders there.
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 our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry.
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.
But they will only agree to this on one condition: they will only join us and become one family if every male among us is circumcised like they are.
23 Ashe, shanunsu, dukiyarsu da dukan sauran dabbobinsu, ba za su zama namu ba? Saboda haka mu yarda, za su kuwa zauna a cikinmu.”
If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among 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.
Everyone there at the town gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem so every male in the town was circumcised.
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.
Three days later while they were still suffering pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Jacob's sons and Dinah's brothers, came with their swords into the town. Unopposed, they slaughtered every male.
26 Suka kashe Hamor da ɗansa Shekem da takobi, suka ɗauko Dina daga gidan Shekem suka tafi.
They killed Hamor and Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.
27 Sa’an nan’ya’yan Yaƙub maza suka bi kan gawawwakin, suka washe arzikin birni saboda an ɓata’yar’uwarsu.
Jacob's other sons arrived, robbed the dead bodies, and looted the town where their sister had been violated.
28 Suka kwashe garkunansu na shanu da jakuna, da kuma kome na mutanen a birnin da kuma cikin gonaki.
They took their sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—
29 Suka kwashe dukan dukiyarsu da dukan matansu da’ya’yansu, suka kwashe kome da yake cikin gidaje.
all their possessions. They captured all their women and children, and plundered everything in their homes.
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.”
But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
31 Amma’ya’yansa suka amsa, “To, ya dace ke nan da ya yi da’yar’uwarmu kamar karuwa?”
But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?”
