創世記 34
1 レアがヤコブに産んだ娘デナはその地の女たちに会おうと出かけて行ったが、
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 その地のつかさ、ヒビびとハモルの子シケムが彼女を見て、引き入れ、これと寝てはずかしめた。
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
3 彼は深くヤコブの娘デナを慕い、この娘を愛して、ねんごろに娘に語った。
Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
4 シケムは父ハモルに言った、「この娘をわたしの妻にめとってください」。
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 さてヤコブはシケムが、娘デナを汚したことを聞いたけれども、その子らが家畜を連れて野にいたので、彼らの帰るまで黙っていた。
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
6 シケムの父ハモルはヤコブと話し合おうと、ヤコブの所に出てきた。
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 ヤコブの子らは野から帰り、この事を聞いて、悲しみ、かつ非常に怒った。シケムがヤコブの娘と寝て、イスラエルに愚かなことをしたためで、こんなことは、してはならぬ事だからである。
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
8 ハモルは彼らと語って言った、「わたしの子シケムはあなたがたの娘を心に慕っています。どうか彼女を彼の妻にください。
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 あなたがたはわたしたちと婚姻し、あなたがたの娘をわたしたちに与え、わたしたちの娘をあなたがたにめとってください。
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 こうしてあなたがたとわたしたちとは一緒に住みましょう。地はあなたがたの前にあります。ここに住んで取引し、ここで財産を獲なさい」。
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 シケムはまたデナの父と兄弟たちとに言った、「あなたがたの前に恵みを得させてください。あなたがたがわたしに言われるものは、なんでもさしあげましょう。
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
12 たくさんの結納金と贈り物とをお求めになっても、あなたがたの言われるとおりさしあげます。ただこの娘はわたしの妻にください」。
Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
13 しかし、ヤコブの子らはシケムが彼らの妹デナを汚したので、シケムとその父ハモルに偽って答え、
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 彼らに言った、「われわれは割礼を受けない者に妹をやる事はできません。それはわれわれの恥とするところですから。
And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 ただ、こうなさればわれわれはあなたがたに同意します。もしあなたがたのうち男子がみな割礼を受けて、われわれのようになるなら、
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 われわれの娘をあなたがたに与え、あなたがたの娘をわれわれにめとりましょう。そしてわれわれはあなたがたと一緒に住んで一つの民となりましょう。
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 けれども、もしあなたがたがわれわれに聞かず、割礼を受けないなら、われわれは娘を連れて行きます」。
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 彼らの言葉がハモルとハモルの子シケムとの心にかなったので、
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 若者は、ためらわずにこの事をした。彼がヤコブの娘を愛したからである。また彼は父の家のうちで一番重んじられた者であった。
The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
20 そこでハモルとその子シケムとは町の門に行き、町の人々に語って言った、
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 「この人々はわれわれと親しいから、この地に住まわせて、ここで取引をさせよう。地は広く、彼らをいれるにじゅうぶんである。そしてわれわれは彼らの娘を妻にめとり、われわれの娘を彼らに与えよう。
"These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters.
22 彼らが割礼を受けているように、もしわれわれのうちの男子が皆、割礼を受けるなら、ただこの事だけで、この人々はわれわれに同意し、われわれと一緒に住んで一つの民となるのだ。
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 そうすれば彼らの家畜と財産とすべての獣とは、われわれのものとなるではないか。ただわれわれが彼らに同意すれば、彼らはわれわれと一緒に住むであろう」。
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
24 そこで町の門に出入りする者はみなハモルとその子シケムとに聞き従って、町の門に出入りするすべての男子は割礼を受けた。
All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 三日目になって彼らが痛みを覚えている時、ヤコブのふたりの子、すなわちデナの兄弟シメオンとレビとは、おのおのつるぎを取って、不意に町を襲い、男子をことごとく殺し、
It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26 またつるぎの刃にかけてハモルとその子シケムとを殺し、シケムの家からデナを連れ出した。
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 そしてヤコブの子らは殺された人々をはぎ、町をかすめた。彼らが妹を汚したからである。
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 すなわち羊、牛、ろば及び町にあるものと、野にあるもの、
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 並びにすべての貨財を奪い、その子女と妻たちを皆とりこにし、家の中にある物をことごとくかすめた。
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
30 そこでヤコブはシメオンとレビとに言った、「あなたがたはわたしをこの地の住民、カナンびととペリジびとに忌みきらわせ、わたしに迷惑をかけた。わたしは、人数が少ないから、彼らが集まってわたしを攻め撃つならば、わたしも家族も滅ぼされるであろう」。
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
31 彼らは言った、「わたしたちの妹を遊女のように彼が扱ってよいのですか」。
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
