< Kejadian 34 >

1 Pada suatu hari, Dina anak perempuan Yakub dan Lea, mengunjungi beberapa wanita Kanaan.
And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
2 Ketika Sikhem, anak Hemor orang Hewi yang menjadi raja di wilayah itu melihat Dina, dilarikannya gadis itu, lalu diperkosanya.
And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Tetapi ia sangat tertarik kepada Dina, sehingga jatuh cinta kepadanya dan berusaha supaya gadis itu mencintainya pula.
And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.
4 Kata Sikhem kepada ayahnya, "Saya mohon Ayah berusaha mendapat gadis itu bagi saya. Saya ingin mengawininya."
Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
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.
And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.
6 Hemor, ayah Sikhem, datang kepada Yakub hendak berunding dengan dia.
And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
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.
And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.
8 Kata Hemor kepada Yakub, "Anak saya Sikhem telah jatuh cinta kepada anak Saudara; saya mohon supaya Saudara mengizinkan anak saya kawin dengan dia.
And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,
9 Marilah kita membuat persetujuan bahwa bangsa Saudara dan bangsa kami kawin campur.
and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
10 Maka Saudara-saudara boleh tinggal bersama kami di negeri ini; di mana Saudara suka. Saudara-saudara boleh bebas berdagang dan memiliki harta benda."
And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.
11 Kemudian Sikhem berkata kepada ayah Dina serta abang-abangnya, "Penuhilah permintaan saya ini, maka saya akan memberikan apa saja yang kalian mau.
And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you shall name.
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."
Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as you shall say to me, only you shall give me this damsel for a wife.
13 Karena Sikhem telah menodai kehormatan adik mereka Dina, anak-anak Yakub berbohong kepada Sikhem dan Hemor ayahnya.
And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.
14 Kata mereka kepada kedua orang itu, "Kami malu mengizinkan adik kami kawin dengan orang yang tidak bersunat.
And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to 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.
Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if you also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
16 Setelah itu kami akan menyetujui usulmu tentang kawin campur itu. Kami akan menetap di tengah-tengahmu dan menjadi satu bangsa denganmu.
And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.
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 will not listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
18 Hemor dan Sikhem merasa syarat-syarat itu pantas,
And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
19 dan Sikhem bersedia segera memenuhi syarat itu karena ia mencintai Dina. Di antara seluruh kaum keluarganya, Sikhemlah yang paling berpengaruh.
And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honorable of all in his father's house.
20 Kemudian Hemor dan Sikhem pergi ke tempat pertemuan di pintu gerbang kota, dan berbicara kepada warga kota mereka, begini,
And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
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 peaceful, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.
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.
Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.
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."
And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.
24 Semua warga kota yang berkumpul itu menyetujui usul Hemor dan Sikhem, lalu semua orang laki-laki dewasa di kota itu disunat.
And all that went in at the gate of their city listened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
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,
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and killed every male.
26 termasuk juga Hemor dan Sikhem. Lalu mereka mengambil Dina dari rumah Sikhem dan pergi.
And they killed Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
27 Setelah pembantaian itu, anak-anak Yakub yang lain merampok kota itu sebagai balas dendam karena adik mereka telah dinodai kehormatannya.
But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
28 Mereka mengambil kawanan kambing domba, sapi, keledai, dan segala yang ada di dalam kota dan di padang.
And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatever were in the city, and whatever were in the plain.
29 Mereka mengambil semua barang yang berharga, menawan semua wanita dan anak-anak, dan merampas segala isi rumah-rumah di kota itu.
And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.
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."
And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
31 Tetapi mereka menjawab, "Kami tidak dapat membiarkan adik kami diperlakukan sebagai pelacur."
And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
