Genesisy 34
1 Dia nivoaka Dina, zanakavavin’ i Lea, izay naterany tamin’ i Jakoba, mba hizaha ny zazavavy tompon-tany.
Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the local women.
2 Ary nahita azy Sekema, zanakalahin’ i Hamora Hivita, andriana tamin’ izany tany izany; dia naka azy izy ary nandry taminy ka nampietry azy.
Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her. He grabbed hold of her and raped her.
3 Ary ny fony dia raiki-pitia tamin’ i Dina, zanakavavin’ i Jakoba; eny, tia ny zazavavy izy, ka dia nanao teny malefaka nahafinaritra azy.
However, then he fell deeply in love with Dinah and tried to get her to love him too.
4 Ary Sekema dia niteny tamin’ i Hamora rainy ka nanao hoe: Alao io zazavavy io ho vadiko.
He went and asked his father, “Get this young girl for me so I can marry her.”
5 Ary ren’ i Jakoba fa efa nandoto an’ i Dina zananivavy izy; nefa ny zananilahy mbola niandry ny omby aman’ ondriny tany an-tsaha; ka dia nangina aloha Jakoba mandra-pahatongany.
Jacob found out that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, but as his sons were away looking after the flocks in the fields he didn't say anything until they came home.
6 Dia nivoaka Hamora, rain’ i Sekema, nankany amin’ i Jakoba hidinika taminy.
In the meantime Hamor, Shechem's father, arrived to talk with Jacob.
7 Ary ny zanak’ i Jakoba dia tonga avy tany an-tsaha, rehefa nandre izy, ka nalahelo sady tezitra indrindra, satria Sekema efa nanao izay fady indrindra teo amin’ ny Isiraely noho ny nandriany tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Jakoba; fa zavatra izay tsy tokony hatao izany.
When Jacob's sons returned from the fields they were very upset when they heard the news and became extremely angry because Shechem had done something outrageous in Israel by having sex with Jacob's daughter—something that should never be done.
8 Ary Hamora nidinika taminy ka nanao hoe: Ny fon’ i Sekema zanakolahy efa raiki-pitia amin’ ny zanakareo-vavy; koa masìna ianareo, mba omeo azy ho vadiny.
Hamor told them, “My son Shechem is very much in love with your daughter and your sister Dinah. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Ary aoka hifanambady anaka isika: omeo anay ny zanakareo vavy, ary alao ho anareo kosa ny zanakai-vavy,
In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.
10 Dia hiara-monina aminay ianareo; ary indro ny tany eo anoloanareo; oneno, dia manaova varotra ao, ary aoka ho isan’ ny tompon-tany ianareo.
You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”
11 Ary hoy Sekema tamin’ ny rain’ i Dina sy ny anadahiny: Aoka mba hahita fitia eto imasonareo aho, ary izay lazainareo amiko dia homeko;
Then Shechem himself spoke up, and said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Please accept me and my proposal, and I'll do whatever you ask.
12 na dia harena be sy zavatra betsaka aza no asainareo homeko, dia homeko ihany araka izay holazainareo amiko; fa omeo ahy ny zazavavy ho vadiko.
You can set the bride price as high as you like, and I'll pay it along with all the gifts I'll give. Just let me have the girl so I can marry her.”
13 Ary ny zanak’ i Jakoba namaly an’ i Sekema sy Hamora rainy tamin’ ny fitaka ka nisaroro azy noho ny nandotoany an’ i Dina anabaviny;
Jacob's sons weren't honest when they answered him and his father Hamor because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
14 ary hoy izy taminy: Tsy azonay atao ny hanome ny anabavinay ho an’ izay lehilahy tsy voafora; fa fahavetavetana aminay izany.
They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on us.
15 Izao ihany no azonay hanekena anareo: Raha ho tahaka anay ianareo, ka hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo,
We will only agree to it with this condition: all of you must be circumcised like us.
16 dia homenay anareo ny zanakai-vavy, ary ny zanakareo-vavy kosa halainay ho anay, dia hiara-monina aminareo izahay, ka ho firenena iray isika.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters, and we will live among you and become one family.
17 Fa raha tsy hanaraka ny teninay ianareo ka hoforana dia halainay ny zanakai-vavy, ka handeha izahay.
But if you don't agree with us that you should be circumcised, then we'll take our sister and leave.”
18 Dia sitrak’ i Hamorasy Sekema zanany izany teniny izany.
Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to what was proposed.
19 Ary tsy nitaredretra ilay zatovo hanao izany zavatra izany, satria efa tia ny zanakavavin’ i Jakoba izy. Ary izy no nalaza indrindra tamin’ izay rehetra tao an-tranon’ ny rainy.
The young man Shechem didn't waste any time in arranging this because he was infatuated with Jacob's daughter, and he was viewed as the most important person in his father's family.
20 Ary Hamora sy Sekema zananilahy nankeo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanànany, dia niteny tamin’ ny mponina tao an-tanànany ka nanao hoe:
Hamor and Shechem went to the town gate and spoke to the other leaders there.
21 Ireo olona ireo mipetraka tsara eto amintsika, dia aoka honina eto amin’ ny tany izy ka hanao varotra eto; fa, indro, ny tany dia malalaka eo anoloany; ny zananivavy dia aoka halaintsika ho vadintsika, ary ny zanatsika vavy dia aoka homentsika azy kosa.
“These men are our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry.
22 Nefa izao monja ihany no hanaovan’ ireo lehilahy ireo fanekena amintsika mba hiara-monina amintsika ho firenena iray: mba hoforana koa, hono, ny lehilahy rehetra eto amintsika tahaka izay namorana azy ireo.
But they will only agree to this on one condition: they will only join us and become one family if every male among us is circumcised like they are.
23 Tsy ho antsika va ny omby aman’ ondriny sy ny fananany mbamin’ ny biby fiompiny rehetra? Aoka hanaiky ny teniny ihany isika, dia hiara-monina amintsika izy.
If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live among us.”
24 Ary izay rehetra nivoaka tamin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanànany dia nanaiky ny tenin’ i Hamora sy Sekema zanany; ary noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia izay rehetra nivoaka tamin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanànany.
Everyone there at the town gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem so every male in the town was circumcised.
25 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, rehefa ilay narary mafy iny izy ireo, dia samy nitondra ny sabany ny zanak’ i Jakoba roa lahy, dia Simeona sy Levy, anadahin’ i Dina, ka niakatra sahisahy tao an-tanàna, dia namono ny lehilahy rehetra tao.
Three days later while they were still suffering pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Jacob's sons and Dinah's brothers, came with their swords into the town. Unopposed, they slaughtered every male.
26 Ary Hamora sy Sekema zananilahy dia novonoiny tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra koa; dia naka an’ i Dina tao an-tranon’ i Sekema izy ka lasa nandeha.
They killed Hamor and Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.
27 Ary ny zanak’ i Jakoba nankeny amin’ ny faty ka namabo ny tanàna noho ny nandotoany ny anabaviny.
Jacob's other sons arrived, robbed the dead bodies, and looted the town where their sister had been violated.
28 Ny ondry aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny sy ny borikiny mbamin’ izay rehetra tao an-tanàna sy izay rehetra tany an-tsaha dia nahorony avokoa;
They took their sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—
29 ary ny fananany rehetra sy ny zanany madinika rehetra ary ny vadiny dia nobaboiny ka nofaohiny avokoa mbamin’ izay rehetra tao an-trano.
all their possessions. They captured all their women and children, and plundered everything in their homes.
30 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Simeona sy Levy: Efa nahatonga loza amiko ianareo, fa efa nomaimboinareo eto amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany aho, dia amin’ ny Kananita sy ny Perizita; nefa olom-bitsy aho, ka dia hiangona hamely ahy izy ireo ka hamono ahy; dia ho fongotra aho, dia izaho sy ny ankohonako.
But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
31 Fa hoy kosa izy: Moa ny anabavinay havela hataony toy ny vehivavy janga va?
But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?”
