Jenesis 34
1 Ugbu a, Daịna nwa nwanyị Lịa mụụrụ Jekọb pụrụ ileta ndị inyom ala ahụ.
And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
2 Mgbe Shekem, nwa Hamọ onye Hiv, onye na-achị mpaghara ahụ, hụrụ ya, ọ kpọọrọ ya jiri ike ya na ya dinaa.
and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, sees her, and takes her, and lies with her, and humbles her;
3 Mkpụrụobi ya gara nʼebe Daịna nwa Jekọb, ọ hụrụ nwantakịrị nwanyị ahụ nʼanya, gwakwa ya okwu dị nro.
and his soul cleaves to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loves the young person, and speaks to the heart of the young person.
4 Shekem sịrị nna ya bụ Hamọ “Lụtara m nwaagbọghọ a, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”
And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a 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.
And Jacob has heard that he has defiled his daughter Dinah, and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob kept silent until their coming.
6 Hamọ bụ nna Shekem, pụkwuuru Jekọb ka ha kparịta ụka.
And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak 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 the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he has done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob—and so it is not done.
8 Ma Hamọ sịrị ha, “Nwa m nwoke Shekem hụrụ nwa unu nwanyị nʼanya. Biko, kwerenụ ka ọ lụọ ya.
And Hamor speaks with them, saying, “Shechem, my son, his soul has cleaved to your daughter; please give her to him for a wife,
9 Kwerenụ ka anyị na unu na-alụrịta. Ka anyị na-alụ ụmụ ndị inyom unu, ka unu na-alụkwa ụmụ ndị inyom anyị.
and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
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 you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
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.
And Shechem says to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which you say to me, I give;
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.”
multiply on me dowry and gift exceedingly, and I give as you say to me, and give to me the young person for a 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.
And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
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 say to them, “We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who has a foreskin, for it [is] a reproach to us.
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.
Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you 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 we have given our daughters to you, and we take your daughters for ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
17 Ọ bụrụ na unu agaghị ekwe ka e bie unu ugwu, anyị ga-akpọrọ nwanne anyị nwanyị laa.”
and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
18 Obi tọrọ Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke ụtọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb kwuru.
And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
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 young man did not delay to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he is honorable above all the house of his father.
20 Emesịa, Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke gara nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo ha gwa ndị ikom obodo ha okwu, sị.
And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, 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 us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, behold, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.
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.
Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being 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.”
their livestock, and their substance, and all their beasts—are they not ours? Only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.”
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 to Hamor, and to his son Shechem, do all those going out of the gate of his city listen, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
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 it comes to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 Ha gbukwara Hamọ na Shekem nwa ya nwoke, kpọpụta Daịna site nʼụlọ Shekem, laghachi nʼụlọ ha.
and Hamor, and his son Shechem, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and go out.
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.
Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, 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.
their flock and their herd, and their donkeys, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
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.
and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.
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.”
And Jacob says to Simeon and to Levi, “You have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have struck me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Ma ha zara sị ya, “O kwesiri ka o meso nwanne anyị nwanyị mmeso dịka ọ bụ akwụna?”
And they say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
