Olubereberye 34
1 Awo Dina muwala wa Leeya gwe yazaalira Yakobo, n’agenda okukyalira abakazi ab’omu nsi eyo.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Sekemu mutabani wa Kamoli Omukiiti omufuzi w’ensi eyo n’amulaba n’amukwata n’amusobyako.
And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Omwoyo gwa Sekemu ne gutwalibwa Dina muwala wa Yakobo, n’amwagala n’ayogera naye ebigambo ebiweweevu.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 Sekemu n’alyoka agamba kitaawe Kamoli nti, “Mpasiza omuwala ono abeere mukazi wange.”
And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 Yakobo bwe yawulira nga Sekemu asobezza ku muwala we Dina, n’aba mukkakkamu okutuusa batabani be abaali balabirira ebisibo ku ttale lwe badda.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Kamoli kitaawe wa Sekemu n’agenda eri Yakobo okwogera naye.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 Batabani ba Yakobo ne bakomawo eka nga bamaze okukitegeera. Ne banakuwala era ne basunguwalira nnyo Sekemu olw’okukola eky’ekivve era ekitasaana mu Isirayiri.
And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8 Kyokka ye Kamoli n’ayogera nabo ng’agamba nti, “Omwoyo gwa mutabani wange gwegomba nnyo muwala wo, nkwegayirira mumuwe amuwase.
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her unto him to wife.
9 Kkiriza tufumbiriganwenga, otuwe bawala bo, nammwe muwasenga bawala baffe.
And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 Munaabeeranga mu ffe, era mukolenga buli kye mwagala mu nsi yaffe. Mubeeremu era musuubuliremu, mugaggawale nnyo.”
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 Sekemu naye n’ayogera ne Yakobo ne bannyina ba Dina, nti, “Nsaba ndabe ekisa mu maaso gammwe, era kyonna kye munansalira nzija kukibawa.
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12 Munsabe ebyobuko ebirabo n’ebigenderako, byonna nzija kubibawa nga bwe binaaba binsabiddwa; kye muba munkolera kwe kumpa omuwala abeere mukazi wange.”
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 Batabani ba Yakobo ne baddamu Sekemu ne kitaawe Kamoli nga babakwenyakwenya kuba Sekemu yali asobezza ku mwannyinaabwe Dina.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 Ne babagamba nti, “Ekyo tetusobola kukikola okuwa mwannyinaffe omuntu atali mukomole, kubanga kya muzizo gye tuli.
and said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15 Kye muteekwa okukola, tulyoke tukkirize, kwe kufuuka nga ffe nga buli musajja mu mmwe akomolebbwa.
Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Tulyoke tubawe bawala baffe, era naffe tuwase bawala bammwe, tubeere mu mmwe tufuuke eggwanga limu.
then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 Naye bwe mutakkiriza kukomolebwa, kale tunaatwala muwala waffe ne tugenda.”
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Ebigambo byabwe ne bisanyusa Kamoli ne mutabani we Sekemu.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
19 Era omuvubuka teyalwa kukomolebwa, kubanga yayagala nnyo muwala wa Yakobo. Omuvubuka oyo ye yali asinga okussibwamu ekitiibwa mu baana ba Kamoli bonna.
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
20 Awo Kamoli ne mutabani we Sekemu ne batuuka ku wankaaki w’ekibuga kyabwe ne boogera n’abantu b’ekibuga kyabwe nga bagamba nti,
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 Abasajja abo mikwano gyaffe. Ka babeere mu nsi yaffe bakoleremu, kubanga, mulabe, ensi nnene ebamala. Ffe ka tuwase bawala baabwe era naffe tubawe bawala baffe.
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; 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 Wabula buli musajja mu ffe ateekwa okukomolebwa, nga bo bwe bakola; tufuuke eggwanga limu, lwe banakkiriza okubeera mu ffe.
Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Olwo ente zaabwe, ebintu byabwe n’ensolo zaabwe zonna tebiibe byaffe? Kye tuba tukola kwe kukkiriziganya nabo, balyoke babeere mu ffe.
Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24 Abasajja bonna abaali ku mulyango ebweru w’ekibuga ne bakkiriziganya ne Kamoli ne mutabani we Sekemu; buli musajja eyafuluma ebweru w’omulyango gw’ekibuga n’akomolebwa.
And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened 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 Bwe waayitawo ennaku ssatu, nga bakyali mu bulumi, batabani ba Yakobo: Simyoni ne Leevi bannyina Dina ne baddira ebitala byabwe ne balumba ekibuga, abaamu nga tebategedde, ne batta buli musajja.
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 brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.
26 Battiramu Kamoli ne mutabani we Sekemu ne baggya Dina mu nnyumba ya Sekemu ne beetambulira.
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went forth.
27 Awo batabani ba Yakobo ne bagwa ku munyago ne banyaga ekibuga olwa mwannyinaabwe.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Ne batwala ebisibo by’endiga, amagana g’ente, n’endogoyi, na buli ekyali mu kibuga ne ku ttale.
They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;
29 N’obugagga bwonna, n’abaana bonna awamu n’abakazi, na buli ekyali mu mayumba, byonna ne babiwamba ne babinyaga.
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 Awo Yakobo n’agamba Simyoni ne Leevi nti, “Mundeetedde akacwano, nfuuse wa kukyayibwa abantu bonna ab’omu nsi, Abakanani n’Abaperezi. Ffe tuli batono, kale bwe baneekuŋŋaanya ne bannumba nzija kumalibwawo, nze n’ennyumba yange yonna.”
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye 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 will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Bo ne bamuddamu nti, “Lwaki yayisa mwannyinaffe ng’omwenzi?”
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
