Ebandeli 34
1 Nzokande, Dina, mwana mwasi oyo Lea abotelaki Jakobi, abimaki mpo na kokende kotala basi ya mokili wana.
Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.
2 Tango Sishemi, mokambi ya mokili wana mpe mwana mobali ya Amori, moto ya Evi, amonaki ye, akangaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto na makasi.
And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.
3 Motema na ye emipesaki mobimba epai ya Dina, mwana mwasi ya Jakobi, alingaki ye mpe akomaki koloba na ye maloba ya bolingo.
Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.
4 Sishemi alobaki na Amori, tata na ye: « Balela ngai elenge mwasi oyo. »
And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.
5 Tango Jakobi ayokaki ete lokumu ya Dina, mwana na ye ya mwasi, ebebisami, abatelaki kimia kino bana na ye ya mibali bazongaki na ndako, pamba te bazalaki na esobe elongo na bibwele.
Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.
6 Boye, Amori, tata na Sishemi, akendeki kosolola na Jakobi.
Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.
7 Tango bana mibali ya Jakobi bazongaki wuta na esobe, bayokaki sango ya makambo oyo esalemaki. Bongo, bayokaki pasi mingi na mitema mpe basilikaki makasi, pamba te Sishemi asalaki likambo ya soni na Isalaele, wana asangisaki nzoto na makasi na mwana mwasi ya Jakobi. Likambo ya bongo esengelaki kosalema te.
Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.
8 Kasi Amori alobaki na bango: « Motema ya Sishemi, mwana na ngai ya mobali ezali kopela na bolingo mpo na mwana na bino ya mwasi. Nabondeli bino, bopesa ye na libala mpo na Sishemi.
But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?
9 Na bongo, bokoki kosala elongo na biso boyokani na nzela ya libala: bokobalisa biso bana na bino ya basi mpe biso tokobalisa bino bana na biso ya basi,
And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 bokovanda elongo na biso. Mboka ezali liboso na bino, bovanda, bosala mombongo mpe bokoma bankolo mabele. »
Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.
11 Boye, Sishemi alobaki na tata mpe na bandeko mibali ya Dina: — Tika ete nazwa ngolu na miso na bino mpe nakopesa bino nyonso oyo bokosenga ngai.
And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.
12 Bokatela ngai motuya makasi ya mbongo ya libala mpe biloko ebele ya libala; nakofuta bino eloko nyonso oyo bokosenga ngai. Kasi bopesa ngai kaka elenge mwasi oyo na libala.
However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.
13 Lokola lokumu ya Dina, ndeko mwasi na bango, ebebaki, bana mibali ya Jakobi basalelaki mayele mabe mpo na kopesa eyano epai ya Sishemi mpe tata na ye Amori.
But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.
14 Balobaki na bango: — Tokoki kosala likambo ya boye te, tokoki te kopesa na libala ndeko na biso ya mwasi epai ya mobali oyo akatama ngenga te, pamba te ezali likambo ya soni mpo na biso.
And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:
15 Tokoki kondima yango kaka soki bokomi lokola biso, soki bana na bino nyonso ya mibali bakatisi ngenga.
But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;
16 Boye biso tokopesa na libala bana na biso ya basi mpe tokozwa bana na bino ya basi na libala. Tokovanda elongo na bino mpe tokokoma libota moko.
Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.
17 Kasi soki boboyi kokatisa ngenga ndenge biso tolobi, tokozwa ndeko na biso ya mwasi mpe tokokende na biso.
But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.
18 Likanisi na bango emonanaki malamu epai ya Amori mpe Sishemi, mwana na ye ya mobali.
And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Lokola elenge mobali, oyo azalaki na lokumu koleka bato nyonso ya ndako ya tata na ye, alingaki mwana mwasi ya Jakobi, akokisaki na lombangu likambo oyo bayebisaki ye.
And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.
20 Boye, Amori mpe Sishemi, mwana na ye ya mobali, bakendeki na ekuke ya engumba na bango mpo na koloba na bana mboka na bango:
Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,
21 « Bato oyo bazali na boboto epai na biso; tika ete bavanda elongo na biso mpe basala mombongo, mpo ete mboka ezali na yango monene! Tokoki na biso kobala bana na bango ya basi, mpe bango bakoki na bango kobala bana na biso ya basi.
It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.
22 Kasi mibali bakondima kovanda elongo na biso lokola bandeko ya libota moko soki kaka mibali nyonso kati na biso bakatisi ngenga lokola bango.
But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.
23 Bibwele na bango, bomengo na bango, banyama na bango nyonso; boni ekokoma ya biso te soki kaka tondimi ete bavanda elongo na biso? »
Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.
24 Boye, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kobima na ekuke ya engumba bandimaki Amori mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Sishemi; mpe mibali nyonso bakatisaki ngenga.
Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.
25 Sima na mikolo misato, wana mibali nyonso kati na bango bazalaki nanu na pasi ya bapota, bana mibali mibale ya Jakobi, bandeko mibali ya Dina, Simeoni mpe Levi, bakamataki mipanga na bango, bakotaki na pwasa kati na engumba mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.
26 Babomaki na mopanga Amori mpe mwana na ye ya mobali Sishemi. Bakamataki Dina wuta na ndako ya Sishemi mpe bazongaki na ye.
And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
27 Bana mibali mosusu ya Jakobi bayaki kosasa mibali oyo bazalaki na bapota mpe kobebisa engumba mpo ete babebisaki lokumu ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi.
And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;
28 Babotolaki bangombe na bango, bameme mpe bantaba na bango, ba-ane na bango, biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba mpe na bilanga.
They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,
29 Bakamataki bomengo na bango nyonso: bana, basi mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na bandako na bango.
And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.
30 Boye, Jakobi alobaki na Simeoni mpe na Levi: — Bopesi ngai pasi mpe bobimisi ngai moto mabe na miso ya bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi oyo bazali kovanda na mboka oyo. Biso tozali kaka moke; mpe soki basangisi makasi na bango mpo na kobundisa ngai, bakoboma ngai elongo na ndako na ngai mobimba.
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.
31 Bango bazongisaki: — Boni, esengelaki bazwa ndeko na biso lokola mwasi ya ndumba?
But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
