Kejadian 34

1 Pada suatu hari, Dina anak perempuan Yakub dan Lea, mengunjungi beberapa wanita Kanaan.

Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the local women.

2 Ketika Sikhem, anak Hemor orang Hewi yang menjadi raja di wilayah itu melihat Dina, dilarikannya gadis itu, lalu diperkosanya.

Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her. He grabbed hold of her and raped her.

3 Tetapi ia sangat tertarik kepada Dina, sehingga jatuh cinta kepadanya dan berusaha supaya gadis itu mencintainya pula.

However, then he fell deeply in love with Dinah and tried to get her to love him too.

4 Kata Sikhem kepada ayahnya, "Saya mohon Ayah berusaha mendapat gadis itu bagi saya. Saya ingin mengawininya."

He went and asked his father, “Get this young girl for me so I can marry her.”

5 Yakub mendengar bahwa anaknya telah dinodai kehormatannya, tetapi karena anak-anaknya sedang menjaga ternaknya di padang, ia tidak dapat mengambil tindakan apa pun sebelum mereka pulang.

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 Hemor, ayah Sikhem, datang kepada Yakub hendak berunding dengan dia.

In the meantime Hamor, Shechem's father, arrived to talk with Jacob.

7 Tepat pada waktu itu anak-anak Yakub pulang dari padang. Mendengar peristiwa itu, mereka terkejut dan sangat marah. Sebab dengan memperkosa anak Yakub itu, Sikhem telah menghina semua orang Israel.

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 Kata Hemor kepada Yakub, "Anak saya Sikhem telah jatuh cinta kepada anak Saudara; saya mohon supaya Saudara mengizinkan anak saya kawin dengan dia.

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 Marilah kita membuat persetujuan bahwa bangsa Saudara dan bangsa kami kawin campur.

In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.

10 Maka Saudara-saudara boleh tinggal bersama kami di negeri ini; di mana Saudara suka. Saudara-saudara boleh bebas berdagang dan memiliki harta benda."

You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”

11 Kemudian Sikhem berkata kepada ayah Dina serta abang-abangnya, "Penuhilah permintaan saya ini, maka saya akan memberikan apa saja yang kalian mau.

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 Katakanlah hadiah apa yang kalian inginkan, dan tentukanlah emas kawinnya. Saya akan memberikan apa yang kalian minta, asalkan kalian mengizinkan saya mengawini gadis itu."

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 Karena Sikhem telah menodai kehormatan adik mereka Dina, anak-anak Yakub berbohong kepada Sikhem dan Hemor ayahnya.

Jacob's sons weren't honest when they answered him and his father Hamor because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.

14 Kata mereka kepada kedua orang itu, "Kami malu mengizinkan adik kami kawin dengan orang yang tidak bersunat.

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 Kami hanya dapat menyetujui permintaanmu itu dengan satu syarat, yaitu: Kalian harus menjadi seperti kami, artinya semua laki-laki di antara kalian harus disunat.

We will only agree to it with this condition: all of you must be circumcised like us.

16 Setelah itu kami akan menyetujui usulmu tentang kawin campur itu. Kami akan menetap di tengah-tengahmu dan menjadi satu bangsa denganmu.

Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters, and we will live among you and become one family.

17 Tetapi jika kamu tidak mau menerima syarat-syarat kami, dan tidak mau disunat, kami akan mengambil kembali gadis itu dan pergi."

But if you don't agree with us that you should be circumcised, then we'll take our sister and leave.”

18 Hemor dan Sikhem merasa syarat-syarat itu pantas,

Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to what was proposed.

19 dan Sikhem bersedia segera memenuhi syarat itu karena ia mencintai Dina. Di antara seluruh kaum keluarganya, Sikhemlah yang paling berpengaruh.

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 Kemudian Hemor dan Sikhem pergi ke tempat pertemuan di pintu gerbang kota, dan berbicara kepada warga kota mereka, begini,

Hamor and Shechem went to the town gate and spoke to the other leaders there.

21 "Orang-orang Israel itu sahabat kita. Jadi biarkanlah mereka tinggal di negeri ini bersama kita serta bebas pergi ke mana mereka suka. Negeri ini cukup luas bagi mereka juga. Kita bisa kawin dengan gadis-gadis mereka, dan mereka pun bisa kawin dengan gadis-gadis kita.

“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 Tetapi orang-orang itu hanya mau tinggal bersama kita dan menjadi satu bangsa dengan kita dengan satu syarat, yaitu: semua laki-laki di antara kita harus disunat seperti mereka.

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 Nanti semua kawanan binatang mereka dan segala harta mereka menjadi milik kita. Jadi marilah kita menyetujui permintaan mereka supaya mereka tinggal bersama dengan kita."

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 Semua warga kota yang berkumpul itu menyetujui usul Hemor dan Sikhem, lalu semua orang laki-laki dewasa di kota itu disunat.

Everyone there at the town gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem so every male in the town was circumcised.

25 Tiga hari kemudian, ketika orang-orang lelaki itu masih kesakitan karena disunat, dua anak Yakub, yaitu abang Dina yang bernama Simeon dan Lewi, mengambil pedang mereka, lalu diam-diam masuk ke dalam kota. Kemudian mereka membunuh semua orang laki-laki di situ,

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 termasuk juga Hemor dan Sikhem. Lalu mereka mengambil Dina dari rumah Sikhem dan pergi.

They killed Hamor and Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.

27 Setelah pembantaian itu, anak-anak Yakub yang lain merampok kota itu sebagai balas dendam karena adik mereka telah dinodai kehormatannya.

Jacob's other sons arrived, robbed the dead bodies, and looted the town where their sister had been violated.

28 Mereka mengambil kawanan kambing domba, sapi, keledai, dan segala yang ada di dalam kota dan di padang.

They took their sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—

29 Mereka mengambil semua barang yang berharga, menawan semua wanita dan anak-anak, dan merampas segala isi rumah-rumah di kota itu.

all their possessions. They captured all their women and children, and plundered everything in their homes.

30 Yakub berkata kepada Simeon dan Lewi, "Kalian menyusahkan saya. Sekarang orang Kanaan dan orang Feris dan semua penduduk di negeri ini akan membenci saya. Orang-orang kita tidak banyak; jika penduduk itu semua bersekutu melawan dan menyerang saya, seluruh keluarga kita akan dibinasakan."

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 Tetapi mereka menjawab, "Kami tidak dapat membiarkan adik kami diperlakukan sebagai pelacur."

But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?”
