Kinohi 34
1 HELE aku la o Dina o ke kaikamahine a Lea i hanau ai na Iakoba, e ike i na kaikamahine o ia aina.
Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
2 A ike mai la o Sekema o ke keiki a Hamora no ka Hivi ke alii o ua aina la ia ia, lalau aku la kela ia ia, moe iho la me ia, a hoohaumia ia ia.
And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of that land, had seen her, he fell in love with her. And so he seized her and slept with her, overwhelming the virgin by force.
3 Hoopili mai la kona naau ia Dina i ke kaikamahine a Iakoba; aloha mai la ia i ua kaikamahine la, a olelo oluolu mai la i ua kaikamahine la.
And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
4 Olelo aku la o Sekema i kona makuakane ia Hamora, E kii aku oe i ua kaikamahine la, i wahine na'u.
And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
5 Lohe ae la o Iakoba ua hoohaumia oia i kana kaikamahine ia Dina: aia no kana mau keikikane ma ke kula me kona poe holoholona; a noho olelo ole la o Iakoba, a hoi mai la lakou.
But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.
6 Hele aku la o Hamora, ka makuakane o Sekema iwaho io Iakoba la e kamailio me ia.
Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
7 A lohe ae la na keiki a Iakoba, hoi mai la lakou mai ke kela mai: ehaeha loa ka naau o ua poe kanaka la, a huhu loa iho la lakou, no ka mea, ua hana mai ia i ka mea kolohe i ka Iseraela, i ka moe ana me ke kaikamahine a Iakoba; ka mea pono ole ke hanaia pela.
behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.
8 Kamailio mai la o Hamora me lakou, i mai la, Ua pili ka naau o kuu keikikane i ka oukou kaikamahine: ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e haawi mai ia ia i wahine nana.
And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.
9 E mare mai oukou me makou; e haawi mai i na kaikamahine a oukou na makou, a e lawe hoi i na kaikamahine a makou na oukou.
And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
10 E noho pu oukou me makou: imua hoi o ko oukou alo ka aina: e noho oukou, a e kuai hoi iloko, a e hoolilo i ka aina no oukou.
And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
11 Olelo mai la hoi o Sekema i ko Dina makuakane a me kona mau kaikunane, E lokomaikai mai oukou ia'u, a e haawi aku hoi au i ka oukou mea e olelo mai ai ia'u.
And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.
12 E hoonui loa oukou i ka'u mea e uku aku ai, a me ka makana, a e haawi aku no au e like me ka oukou e olelo mai ai: aka, e haawi mai i ke kaikamahine i wahine na'u.
Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
13 Olelo hoopunipuni aku la na keikikane a Iakoba ia Sekema, a ia Hamora i kona makuakane, olelo lakou pela, no ka mea, ua hoohaumia oia ia Dina i ko lakou kaikuwahine.
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
14 Olelo aku la lakou ia laua, Aole e pono ia makou ke hana ia mea, ke haawi aku i ko makou kaikuwahine na ka mea i okipoepoe ole ia; no ka mea, he mea hoino ia no makou.
“We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.
15 Penei wale no ka makou e ae aku ai ia olua, a i like auanei oukou me makou, i okipoepoeia na kane o oukou a pau;
But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.
16 Alaila makou e haawi aku ai i ka makou kaikamahine na oukou, a e lawe hoi i na kaikamahine a oukou na makou; a e noho pu me oukou, a lilo kakou i hookahi poe kanaka.
Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
17 Aka, ke hoolohe ole oukou i ka makou, e okipoepoeia'i; alaila e lawe aku makou i ka makou kaikamahine, a e hele.
But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
18 A he oluolu ka lakou olelo ia Hamora, a me Sekema ke keiki a Hamora.
Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Aole i hoopanee aku na kanaka opiopio la i ka hana ana ia mea; no ka mea, he makemake kona i ke kaikamahine a Iakoba: a ua oi aku kona maikai imua o ko ka hale a pau o kona makuakane.
Neither did the young man cause any delay; in fact he immediately fulfilled what was requested. For he loved the girl very much, and he was well-known throughout his father’s house.
20 Hele aku la o Hamora, laua o Sekema o kana keiki ma ka ipuka o ko laua kulanakauhale, a kamailio pu iho la me na kanaka o ko laua kulanakauhale, i kai ana aku,
And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
21 Ea, ke noho malie nei keia poe kanaka me kakou; nolaila, e hoonoho kakou ia lakou ma ka aina, e piele lakou iloko; no ka mea, o ka aina, aia hoi, ua akea ia no lakou; e lawe kakou i na kaikamahine a lakou i wahine na kakou, a e haawi aku hoi kakou i na kaikamahine a kakou na lakou.
“These men are peaceful, and they want to live among us. Let them trade in the land and cultivate it, for, being spacious and broad, it is in need of cultivation. We will receive their daughters as wives, and we will give them ours.
22 Penei wale no e ae mai ai ua poe kanaka la e noho me kakou, hookahi poe, i okipoepoeia na kane a pau o kakou, e like me lakou i okipoepoeia'i.
There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
23 Aole anei e lilo na kakou ko lakou poe holoholona iki, ka lakou waiwai, a me na holoholona nui a pau a lakou? E ae wale aku no kakou ia lakou, a e noho pu auanei lakou me kakou.
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, will be ours, if only we will acquiesce to this, and so, in living together, will form one people.”
24 Hoolohe aku la lakou ia Hamora a i kana keiki ia Sekema, o ka poe a pau i puka iwaho ma ka ipuka o kona kulanakauhale: a ua okipoepoeia na kane a pau, ka poe a pau i puka iwaho ma ka ipuka o kona kulanakauhale.
And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
25 A i ke kolu o ka la, ia lakou i eha ai, o na keikikane elua a Iakoba, o Simeona laua o Levi, na kaikunane o Dina, lalau aku la laua i na pahikaua a laua, hele aku la laua i ua kulanakauhale la me ka makau ole, a pepehi aku la i na kane a pau.
And behold, on the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, boldly entered the city with swords. And they put to death all of the males.
26 Pepehi aku la laua ia Hamora, laua o Sekema o kana keiki me ka maka o ka pahikaua, lawe aku la hoi ia Dina iwaho o ka hale o Sekema, a hele aku la iwaho.
They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
27 Held mai la na keiki a Iakoba i ka poe i pepehiia, a lawe pio ae la i ka waiwai o ke kulanakauhale; no ka mea, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko lakou kaikuwahine.
And when they had departed, the other sons of Jacob rushed over the slain, and they plundered the city in vengeance for the rape.
28 Lawe pio aku la hoi lakou i na hipa a lakou, a me na bipi a lakou, a me na hoki a lakou, me ko loko o ke kulanakauhale, a me ko ke kula,
Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
29 Me ko lakou waiwai a pau, me ka lakou kamalii a pau, a me na wahine a lakou, na pau ia lakou i ka hoopioia; a hao ae la lakou i na mea a pau o ka hale.
they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
30 Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Simeona laua o Levi, Ua hoopilikia mai olua ia'u, i pilau aku ai au iwaena o na kanaka o ka aina nei, iwaena o ka Kanaana a me ka Perezi: a owau la e, he poe uuku ko'u, e hoakoakoa mai auanei lakou e ku e ia'u, a e pepehi mai ia'u, a e make auanei au me ko ka Hale o'u.
When they had boldly completed these acts, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: “You have troubled me, and you have made me hateful to the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few. They, gathering themselves together, may strike me down, and then both I and my house will be wiped away.”
31 I mai la lakou, E pono anei e hana mai ia i ko makou kaikuwahine, me he wahine hookamakama la?
They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
