Genesisy 34
1 Dia nivoaka Dina, zanakavavin’ i Lea, izay naterany tamin’ i Jakoba, mba hizaha ny zazavavy tompon-tany.
One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
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, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
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.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
4 Ary Sekema dia niteny tamin’ i Hamora rainy ka nanao hoe: Alao io zazavavy io ho vadiko.
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
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 very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
6 Dia nivoaka Hamora, rain’ i Sekema, nankany amin’ i Jakoba hidinika taminy.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went 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.
While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should 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.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. 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,
Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
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 live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”
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 said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
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.
Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.”
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;
But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
14 ary hoy izy taminy: Tsy azonay atao ny hanome ny anabavinay ho an’ izay lehilahy tsy voafora; fa fahavetavetana aminay izany.
by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
15 Izao ihany no azonay hanekena anareo: Raha ho tahaka anay ianareo, ka hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo,
We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
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 our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
17 Fa raha tsy hanaraka ny teninay ianareo ka hoforana dia halainay ny zanakai-vavy, ka handeha izahay.
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Dia sitrak’ i Hamorasy Sekema zanany izany teniny izany.
What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
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.
Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
20 Ary Hamora sy Sekema zananilahy nankeo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanànany, dia niteny tamin’ ny mponina tao an-tanànany ka nanao hoe:
Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
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 friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.
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 these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as 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.
But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will 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.
Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city 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.
On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
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 even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Ary ny zanak’ i Jakoba nankeny amin’ ny faty ka namabo ny tanàna noho ny nandotoany ny anabaviny.
Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.
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 away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
29 ary ny fananany rehetra sy ny zanany madinika rehetra ary ny vadiny dia nobaboiny ka nofaohiny avokoa mbamin’ izay rehetra tao an-trano.
They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
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.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
31 Fa hoy kosa izy: Moa ny anabavinay havela hataony toy ny vehivavy janga va?
But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
