Ebandeli 34
1 Nzokande, Dina, mwana mwasi oyo Lea abotelaki Jakobi, abimaki mpo na kokende kotala basi ya mokili wana.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
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, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3 Motema na ye emipesaki mobimba epai ya Dina, mwana mwasi ya Jakobi, alingaki ye mpe akomaki koloba na ye maloba ya bolingo.
And his soul joined to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
4 Sishemi alobaki na Amori, tata na ye: « Balela ngai elenge mwasi oyo. »
And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to 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.
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 Boye, Amori, tata na Sishemi, akendeki kosolola na Jakobi.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
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.
And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had worked folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter: which thing should 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.
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter: I pray you give her him to 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 make you marriages with us, and give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
10 bokovanda elongo na biso. Mboka ezali liboso na bino, bovanda, bosala mombongo mpe bokoma bankolo mabele. »
And you shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade you therein, and get you possessions therein.
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 to her brothers, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what you shall say to me I will give.
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.
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as you shall say to me: but give me the damsel to 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.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled 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 to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach to us:
15 Tokoki kondima yango kaka soki bokomi lokola biso, soki bana na bino nyonso ya mibali bakatisi ngenga.
But in this will we consent to you: If you will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
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 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 Kasi soki boboyi kokatisa ngenga ndenge biso tolobi, tokozwa ndeko na biso ya mwasi mpe tokokende na biso.
But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Likanisi na bango emonanaki malamu epai ya Amori mpe Sishemi, mwana na ye ya mobali.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
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 the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
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:
And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
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.
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for 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.
Only herein will the men consent to us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Bibwele na bango, bomengo na bango, banyama na bango nyonso; boni ekokoma ya biso te soki kaka tondimi ete bavanda elongo na biso? »
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell 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.
And to Hamor and to Shechem his son listened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
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.
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came on the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26 Babomaki na mopanga Amori mpe mwana na ye ya mobali Sishemi. Bakamataki Dina wuta na ndako ya Sishemi mpe bazongaki na ye.
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
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.
The sons of Jacob came on the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled 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 sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
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 took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
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 troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Bango bazongisaki: — Boni, esengelaki bazwa ndeko na biso lokola mwasi ya ndumba?
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
