< Genesis 34 >

1 Ita, ni Dina nga anak a babai ni Lea kenni Jacob, ket rimmuar tapno sarakenna dagiti babbalasang iti dayta a lugar.
One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
2 Nakita isuna ni Sikem, a prinsipe iti dayta a lugar, a putot ni Hamor a Heveo, ket ginuyodna daytoy, ken pinilitna daytoy a makikaidda kenkuana.
Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
3 Nakayawan isuna kenni Dina, nga anak a babai ni Jacob. Inayatna ti balasang ken kinasaritana daytoy iti naalumamay.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
4 Kinasarita ni Sikem ti amana a ni Hamor, kinunana, “Alaem daytoy a balasang tapno agbalin nga asawak.”
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
5 Ita, nanggeg ni Jacob a rinames ni Sikem ni Dina a putotna a babai. Adda idi iti kataltalunan dagiti putotna a lallaki a mangay-aywan kadagiti tarakenna, isu a nagtatalna pay laeng ni Jacob agingga a nakasangpetda.
Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
6 Napan ni Hamor nga ama ni Sikem kenni Jacob tapno makisarita kenkuana.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
7 Simrek dagiti annak a lallaki ni Jacob a naggapu iti taltalon idi nangngegda daytoy a pasamak. Napasakitan dagiti lallaki. Nakapungtotda unay gapu ta imbabainna ti Israel gapu iti panangipilitna iti bagina iti anak a babai ni Jacob, ta saan a rumbeng a napasamak ti kasta a banag.
While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should be done!”
8 Nakisarita ni Hamor kadakuada, kinunana, “Ay-ayaten ni Sikem a putotko ti putotmo a babai. Pangngaasim ta itedmo isuna a kas asawana.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Makiinnasawakayo kadakami, itedyo kadakami dagiti annakyo a babbai, ket alaenyo dagiti annakmi a babbai para kadakayo.
Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
10 Makipagnaedkayo kadakami, ken mabalinyo ti agnaed iti daga ken mabalinyo ti aglako, ken gumatang iti sanikua.
You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”
11 Kinuna ni Sikem iti ama ni Dina ken kadagiti kakabsatna, “Makasarakak koma iti pabor iti imatangyo, ket itedkonto ti aniaman nga ibagayo kaniak.
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
12 Dawatandak iti gatad a kas kadakkel iti gatad a bayad ti nobya ken sagut a kas tarigagayanyo, ket itedkonto ti aniaman nga ibagayo kaniak, ngem itedyo kaniak ti balasang nga asawaek.”
Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.”
13 Simmungbat dagiti putot a lallaki ni Jacob kada Sikem ken Hamor nga amana, nga addaan iti panangallilaw, gapu ta rinugitan ni Sikem ni Dina a kabsatda a babai.
But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
14 Kinunada kadakuada, “Saanmi a maaramid daytoy a banag, nga itedmi ti kabsatmi a babai iti siasinoman a saan a nakugit; ta pakaibabainanminto dayta.
by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
15 Iti daytoy laeng a katulagan nga umanamongkami kadakayo: no makugitkayo a kas kadakami, no ti tunggal lalaki kadakayo ket nakugit.
We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
16 Ket iti dayta, itedmi kadakayo dagiti annakmi a babbai, ken alaenmi dagiti annakyo a babbai para kadakami, ket makipagnaedkaminto kadakayo ket agbalintayo a maymaysa a tattao.
Then we will give our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
17 Ngem no saankayo a dumngeg kadakami ken agpakugit, alaenmi ngarud ti kabsatmi a babai ket pumanawkami.”
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Dagiti sasaoda ket nakaay-ayo kenni Hamor ken iti putotna a ni Sikem.
What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Saan a nagtaktak ti baro a mangaramid iti imbagada, gapu ta naragsakan isuna iti putot a babai ni Jacob, ken gapu ta isuna ti kangrunaan a mararaem a tao iti sangkabalayan ti amana.
Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
20 Napan ni Hamor ken ti putotna a ni Sikem iti ruangan ti siudad ket kinasaritada dagiti lallaki ti siudadda, a kunada,
Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
21 nasayaat dagidiay a tattao kadatayo, isu a palubusantayo ida nga agnaed iti daga ken aglako ditoy, ta kinapudnona, nalawa ti daga para kadakuada. Asawaentayo dagiti annakda a babbai, ken ipaasawatayo met kadakuada dagiti annaktayo a babbai.
“These men are friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.
22 Iti daytoy laeng a katulagan nga umanamong dagiti lallaki a makipagnaed kadatayo ken agbalintayo a maymaysa a tattao: no ti tunggal lalaki kadatayo ket makugit a kas kadakuada a nakugit.
But these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.
23 Saan kadi a dagiti taraken ken sanikuada-amin nga ayupda ket kukuatayonto? Umanamongtayo ngarud kadakuada, ket makipagnaedda kadatayo.”
But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!”
24 Dimngeg kada Hamor ken Sikem a putotna dagiti amin a lallaki iti siudad. Tunggal lalaki ket nakugit.
Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.
25 Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, idi lumlumteg pay laeng dagiti sugatda, innala dagiti dua a lallaki a putot ni Jacob, da Simeon ken Levi, a kakabsat a lallaki ni Dina, dagiti kampilanda, ken napanda iti siudad nga awan ti nakadlaw kadakuada, ket pinatayda dagiti amin a lallaki.
On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
26 Pinatayda ni Hamor ken ni Sikem a putotna, babaen iti tadem ti kampilan. Innalada ni Dina manipud iti balay ni Sikem ket pimmanawda.
They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Immay dagiti dadduma a lallaki a putot ni Jacob kadagiti bangkay ken tinakawanda ti siudad, gapu ta rinugutan dagiti tattao ti kabsatda a babai.
Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.
28 Innalada dagiti arbanda, dagiti tarakenda, dagiti asnoda, ken amin a banag nga adda iti siudad ken kadagiti kataltalunan iti aglawlaw
They took away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
29 agraman dagiti amin a kinabaknangda. Tiniliwda amin nga annak ken assawa dagiti tattao sadiay. Innalada pay amin nga adda kadagiti babbalay.
They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
30 Kinuna ni Jacob kada Simeon ken Levi, “Nangiyegkayo iti riribuk kaniak a mangpabangsit kaniak kadagiti agtataeng iti daga, kadagiti Canaanita ken kadagiti Perezeo. Bassit laeng ti bilangko. No pagtitipunenda dagiti bagbagida a bumusor kaniak ken darupendak, ket madadaelakto, siak ken ti bumalayko.”
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
31 “Ngem kinuna da Simeon ken Levi, “Rumbeng kadi a trinato ni Sikem iti kabsatmi a babai a kasla maysa a balangkantis?”
But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
