Dinah, the daughter of Leah [Weary], whom she bore to Jacob [Supplanter], went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Oasr wen se natul Hamor, mwet Hiv su leumi facl sac. Inen wen se natul pa Shechem. Ke Shechem el liyalak Dinah, el sruinkuilya ac usalla akkolukyal.
Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite [Wicked], the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Tusruktu ke Shechem el liye lah mutan sac arulana oasku, el lungseyak el, ac el srike in oru mutan sac in lungse pac el.
His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob [Supplanter], and he 'ahav ·affectionately loved· the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4 Ac el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nga ke kom in use mutan se inge kiuk.”
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5 Jacob el lohngak lah acn se natul ah akkolukyeyukla, tusruktu ke sripen wen natul ah kewa som oasr inimae yurin kosro natul, el tiana oru kutena ma nwe ke na elos foloko.
Now Jacob [Supplanter] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob [Supplanter] held his peace until they came.
6 Hamor, papa tumal Shechem, el som in pwapa nu sel Jacob,
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob [Supplanter] to talk with him.
7 ke pacl se na ma wen natul Jacob elos foloko liki inimae. Ke wen natul Jacob inge lohngak ke ouiya koluk sac, elos lut ac arulana kasrkusrak lah Shechem el orala ouiya sac, ac aklusrongtenye mwet Israel ke el sruinkui ac akkolukye acn natul Jacob.
The sons of Jacob [Supplanter] came in from the field when they sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel [God prevails] in lying with Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter; a thing ought not to be done.
8 Na Hamor el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Shechem, wen nutik, el lungseyak acn se nutum ingan. Nunak munas eisalang kial.”
Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, has chasak ·set his affection· on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Ac el sifilpa fahk, “Wona kut in orala sie pwapa ah, ac insese tuh in oasr apayuki inmasrlon mwet lasr ac mwet lowos.
Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Na kowos fah ku in wi kut na muta in facl sesr uh, ac muta yen na kowos lungse muta we. Kowos fah sukosok in moli ac in kuka yorosr, ac in oasr pac acn lowos sifacna inge.”
You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11 Na Shechem el fahk nu sin papa tumal Dinah ac mwet lel, “Kowos fin oru enenu se luk inge, na nga ac fah sot kutena ma kowos lungse.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find chen ·grace· in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12 Fahkma nu sik lah mwe kite fuka kowos lungse, ac sang pac in yohk molin mutan se inge ke lupa na kowos lungse. Nga ac sot kutena ma kowos siyuk kac, kowos fin fuhlela nga in payuk sel.”
Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13 Wen natul Jacob arulana toasr lah Shechem el akkolukyalla Dinah, tamtael lalos, ouinge elos kikiap in topkol Shechem ac Hamor, papa tumal.
The sons of Jacob [Supplanter] answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 Elos fahk, “Kut koflana fuhlela ma lousr in payuk sin mwet ma tia kosrala. Ma se ingan ac akmwekinye kut.
and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15 Kut ac ku in insesela fin twe mukul nukewa lowos kosrkosrla oana kut.
Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Ac kut ac fah oayapa insese in apayuki. Kut ac fah oakwuki muta inmasrlowos ac in ma sefannala nu suwos.
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 Tusruktu kowos fin tia insese nu ke ma kut fahk uh ac kosrkosrla, na kut ac eis ma lousr uh ac som.”
But if you will not sh'ma ·hear obey· unto us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
18 Kas inge wo sel Hamor ac Shechem, wen natul,
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19 ac mukul fusr sac sulaklak na in oru ma elos fahk uh, mweyen el arulana lungse acn natul Jacob. El pa mukul se ma oa emeet in sou lun papa tumal.
The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20 Hamor ac Shechem, wen natul, eltal som nu ke acn in tukeni ke mutunpot in siti uh ac sramsram nu sin mwet wialtal in acn sac.
Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21 Eltal fahk, “Mwet inge elos kulang na. Lela nu selos in wi kut na muta fin acn uh, ac in sukosok in forfor. Acn sesr uh yohk, fal pac nu selos. Lela kut in payuk sin mutan natulos ac sang pac elos in payuk sin mutan natusr uh.
“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22 Tusruktu elos ac insese in muta inmasrlosr, ac ma sefannala nu sesr, mukul nukewa lasr uh fin twe kosrkosrla oana elos.
Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Ya kosro natulos nukewa ac ma lalos nukewa saya ac tia ma lac lasr? Ke ma inge lela kut in insesela mu elos in muta inmasrlosr.”
Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24 Mwet nukewa ke siti sac insese nu ke pwapa lal Hamor ac Shechem, ouinge mukul nukewa we kosrkosrla.
All who went out of the gate of his city sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 Tukun len tolu, ke mukul uh srakna maskin kosrkosrla lalos, luo sin wen natul Jacob, Simeon ac Levi tamulel lal Dinah, eltal us cutlass natultal, mahsrikla nu in siti uh, ac uniya mukul nukewa we,
On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons, Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26 welulang Hamor ac Shechem, wen natul. Na etal eisal Dinah liki lohm sel Shechem ac som.
They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29 Elos eis ma saok nukewa, sruokya mutan ac tulik nukewa, ac usla ma nukewa in lohm sin mwet we ah.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30 Jacob el fahk nu sel Simeon ac Levi, “Komtal ac pwanma ongoiya nu sik. Inge mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, ac mwet nukewa saya in acn se inge ac fah srungayula. Tia pus mwet luk, a elos nukewa fin toeni ac mweuniyu, sou nufon se lasr inge ac sikiyukla!”
Jacob [Supplanter] said to Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] and the Perizzites [Descendants of Belonging to village]. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Tusruktu elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut tia ku in lela ma lousr in orek oana sie mutan kosro.”
They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
