< Jenesis 34 >
1 Ugbu a, Daịna nwa nwanyị Lịa mụụrụ Jekọb pụrụ ileta ndị inyom ala ahụ.
Then Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare vnto Iaakob, went out to see the daughters of that countrey.
2 Mgbe Shekem, nwa Hamọ onye Hiv, onye na-achị mpaghara ahụ, hụrụ ya, ọ kpọọrọ ya jiri ike ya na ya dinaa.
Whome when Shechem the sonne of Hamor the Hiuite lorde of that countrey sawe, hee tooke her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3 Mkpụrụobi ya gara nʼebe Daịna nwa Jekọb, ọ hụrụ nwantakịrị nwanyị ahụ nʼanya, gwakwa ya okwu dị nro.
So his heart claue vnto Dinah the daughter of Iaakob: and he loued the maide, and spake kindely vnto the maide.
4 Shekem sịrị nna ya bụ Hamọ “Lụtara m nwaagbọghọ a, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”
Then said Shechem to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this maide to wife.
5 Mgbe Jekọb nụrụ na e merụrụ Daịna nwa ya nwanyị, nʼihi na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nọ nʼọhịa ebe ha na-azụ anụ ụlọ, ọ gbara nkịtị na-emeghị ihe ọbụla ruo mgbe ha lọtara.
(Nowe Iaakob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sonnes were with his cattell in the fielde: therefore Iaakob helde his peace, vntill they were come.)
6 Hamọ bụ nna Shekem, pụkwuuru Jekọb ka ha kparịta ụka.
Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out vnto Iaakob to commune with him.
7 Ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb si nʼọhịa na-alọta mgbe ha nụrụ ihe merenụ, iwe na ọnụma juputara ha obi nke ukwuu nʼihi na Shekem mere ihe na-eweta ihere nʼIzrel site nʼidinakwuru ada Jekọb, ihe a na-ekwesighị ime eme.
And whe the sonnes of Iaakob were come out of the fielde and heard it, it grieued the men, and they were very angry, because he had wrought villenie in Israel, in that he had lyen with Iaakobs daughter: which thing ought not to be done.
8 Ma Hamọ sịrị ha, “Nwa m nwoke Shekem hụrụ nwa unu nwanyị nʼanya. Biko, kwerenụ ka ọ lụọ ya.
And Hamor communed with them, saying, the soule of my sonne Shechem longeth for your daughter: giue her him to wife, I pray you.
9 Kwerenụ ka anyị na unu na-alụrịta. Ka anyị na-alụ ụmụ ndị inyom unu, ka unu na-alụkwa ụmụ ndị inyom anyị.
So make affinitie with vs: giue your daughters vnto vs, and take our daughters vnto you,
10 Unu nwere ike biri nʼetiti anyị. Ala a ghere oghe nye unu. Birinụ nʼime ya, na-azụkwanụ ahịa nʼime ya, nwekwanụ akụ nʼime ya nye onwe unu.”
And ye shall dwell with vs, and the lande shalbe before you: dwell, and doe your businesse in it, and haue your possessions therein.
11 Shekem gwara nna na ụmụnne Daịna ndị ikom sị, “Kwerenụ ka m chọta ihuọma nʼebe unu nọ, aga m enyekwa unu ihe ọbụla unu chọrọ ka m nye unu.
Shechem also said vnto her father and vnto her brethren, Let me finde fauour in your eyes, and I will giue whatsoeuer ye shall appoint me.
12 Ihe ọbụla unu sị m kwụọ dịka ego akụ ọlụlụ nwunye, ya na onyinye ọbụla unu si m nye aga m enye unu. Naanị kwerenụ ka nwaagbọghọ a bụrụ nwunye m.”
Aske of me abundantly both dowrie and giftes, and I will giue as ye appoint me, so that ye giue me the maide to wife.
13 Ma ụmụ Jekọb jiri aghụghọ zaa Shekem na Hamọ nna ya mgbe ha na-agwa ha okwu, nʼihi na e merụrụ Daịna nwanne ha nwanyị.
Then the sonnes of Iaakob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, talking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 Ha sịrị ha, “Anyị enweghị ike ime ihe a, ị kpọrọ nwanne anyị nwanyị kpọnye nwoke a na-ebighị ugwu. Nke a ga-abụrụ anyị ihe ihere.
And they said vnto them, We can not do this thing, to giue our sister to an vncircumcised man: for that were a reproofe vnto vs.
15 Anyị nwere ike ikwenye ka ọ lụọ ya ma ọ bụrụ na unu ga-adị ka anyị, ka e bie ndị nwoke unu niile ugwu.
But in this will we consent vnto you, if ye will be as we are, that euery man childe among you be circumcised:
16 Mgbe ahụ anyị ga-edunye unu ụmụ ndị inyom anyị, ma kpọrọkwa ụmụ ndị inyom unu dịka ndị nwunye anyị. Anyị ga-ebi nʼetiti unu, soro unu bụrụ otu ndị.
Then will we giue our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to vs, and will dwell with you, and be one people.
17 Ọ bụrụ na unu agaghị ekwe ka e bie unu ugwu, anyị ga-akpọrọ nwanne anyị nwanyị laa.”
But if ye will not hearken vnto vs to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and depart.
18 Obi tọrọ Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke ụtọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb kwuru.
Nowe their wordes pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamors sonne.
19 Nwokorobịa ahụ bụ onye a na-asọpụrụ karịa onye ọbụla nʼụlọ nna ya egbughị oge ime ihe ha kwuru, nʼihi na ihe banyere nwa nwanyị Jekọb dị ya mma nke ukwuu.
And the yong man deferd not to doe the thing because he loued Iaakobs daughter: he was also the most set by of all his fathers house.
20 Emesịa, Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke gara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo ha gwa ndị ikom obodo ha okwu, sị.
Then Hamor and Shechem his Sonne went vnto the gate of their citie, and communed with the men of their citie, saying,
21 “Ndị ikom ndị a nwere mmasị nʼebe anyị nọ. Kwerenụ ka ha biri nʼala anyị, ka ha na-agagharị kwa nʼime ya. Anyị nwere ala buru ibu nke ga-ezuru anyị na ha. Ha ga-alụ ụmụ nwanyị anyị, anyị ga-alụkwa ndị nke ha.
These men are peaceable with vs: and that they may dwell in the land, and doe their affaires therin (for behold, the land hath roume ynough for them) let vs take their daughters to wiues, and giue them our daughters.
22 Ma ọ dị otu ihe ha chọrọ ka anyị mee tupu ha ekwere ibi nʼetiti anyị ka anyị na ha bụrụ otu ndị. Ọ bụ ibi ndị ikom anyị niile ugwu dịka e si bie ha ugwu.
Onely herein will the men consent vnto vs for to dwell with vs, and to be one people, if all the men children among vs be circumcised as they are circumcised.
23 Ọ bụrụ na unu chọrọ ka anụ ụlọ ha niile na akụ ha niile bụrụ nke anyị, ọ dị mma ka anyị kwenyere ha, ka ha binyere anyị.”
Shall not their flockes and their substance and all their cattell be ours? onely let vs consent herein vnto them, and they will dwell with vs.
24 Ndị ikom niile bịara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ kwenyere nʼokwu Hamọ na nwa ya nwoke Shekem. E bikwara nwoke ọbụla nọ nʼobodo ahụ ugwu.
And vnto Hamor, and Shechem his sonne hearkened all that went out of the gate of his citie: and all the men children were circumcised, euen all that went out of the gate of his citie.
25 O ruo nʼụbọchị nke atọ, mgbe ọnya ugwu ha na-egbu ha mgbu, ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb abụọ, Simiọn na Livayị, ụmụnne Daịna, jiri mma agha ha pụkwuru ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ na-atụghị anya na ihe dị otu a ga-eme, gbuo ndị ikom niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ.
And on the thirde day (when they were sore) two of the sonnes of Iaakob, Simeon and Leui, Dinahs brethren tooke either of them his sworde and went into the citie boldly, and slue euery male.
26 Ha gbukwara Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke, kpọpụta Daịna site nʼụlọ Shekem, laghachi nʼụlọ ha.
They slewe also Hamor and Shechem his sonne with the edge of the sword, and tooke Dinah out of Shechems house, and went their way.
27 Mgbe ahụ ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb niile bịakwasịrị ndị a e gburu egbu, kwakọọ ihe niile dị nʼobodo ahụ niile, nʼihi mmerụ e merụrụ nwanne ha nwanyị.
Againe the other sonnes of Iaakob came vpon the dead, and spoyled the citie, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Ha kwakọọrọ ngwongwo niile dị nʼobodo ahụ, kpụrụkwa anụ ụlọ niile, igwe ewu na atụrụ, igwe ehi na igwe ịnyịnya ibu niile, na ihe niile dị nʼime obodo ahụ, na ihe niile dị nʼubi ndị ahụ obodo nwere.
They tooke their sheepe and their beeues, and their asses, and whatsoeuer was in the citie, and in the fieldes.
29 Akụ ha niile, na ndị inyom ha niile na ụmụntakịrị ha, na ihe niile dị nʼime ụlọ ha, ka ha weere dịka ihe a dọtara nʼagha.
Also they caryed away captiue and spoyled all their goods, and all their children and their wiues, and all that was in the houses.
30 Mgbe Jekọb hụrụ ihe ụmụ ya mere, ọ kpọrọ Simiọn na Livayị sị ha, “Unu ebuterela m nsogbu mee ka m bụrụ ihe na-esi isi ọjọọ nʼetiti ndị Kenan na ndị Periz nwe ala a. Ebe anyị dị ole na ole, ọ bụrụ na ha ejikọta onwe ha ọnụ lụso m agha, ha ga-ekpochapụ mụ na ezinaụlọ m.”
Then Iaakob said to Simeon and Leui, Ye haue troubled me, and made me stinke among the inhabitats of the land, aswell the Canaanites, as the Perizzites, and and I being few in nomber, they shall gather theselues together against me, and slay me, and so shall I, and my house be destroied.
31 Ma ha zara sị ya, “O kwesiri ka o meso nwanne anyị nwanyị mmeso dịka ọ bụ akwụna?”
And they answered, Shoulde hee abuse our sister as a whore?
