Kenehi 34
1 Na ka haere atu a Rina, tamahine a Rea, i whanau nei i a raua ko Hakopa, kia kite i nga tamahine o te whenua.
Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 A ka kite a Hekeme, tama a Hamora Hiwi, rangatira o taua whenua, i a ia; a ka hopukia ia e ia, a ka takoto ki a ia, ka whakaiti hoki i a ia.
Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Na ka piri tona wairua ki a Rina, tamahine a Hakopa, a ka aroha ia ki te kotiro ra, ka whakamarie hoki i te ngakau o taua kotiro.
His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4 Na ka korero a Hekeme ki a Hamora, ki tona papa, ka mea, Tikina te kotiro nei hei wahine maku.
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5 Na i rongo a Hakopa kua pokea a Rina, tana tamahine, e ia; a i te parae ana tama, i ana kararehe: na ka whakarongo puku a Hakopa, kia tae mai ra ano ratou.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Na ka haere a Hamora papa o Hekeme ki a Hakopa ki te korero ki a ia.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
7 Na ka haere mai nga tama a Hakopa i te parae, i to ratou rongonga; a ka matangerengere aua tangata, ka tino riri hoki, mo tana mahi wairangi i roto i a Iharaira, i a ia i takoto ra ki te tamahine a Hakopa; he mahi hoki kihai i tika.
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
8 Na ka korero a Hamora ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko Hekeme, ko taku tama, piri tonu tona wairua ki ta koutou tamahine: homai ia ki a ia, ne? hei wahine.
Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 A kia marenatia tatou ki a tatou; homai a koutou tamahine ki a matou, a me tango hoki a matou tamahine ma koutou.
Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 A me noho koutou ki a matou: a ka takoto atu te whenua i mua i a koutou: e noho i reira, ka hokohoko i reira, ka whakatupu rawa ma koutou i reira.
You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11 A ka mea a Hekeme ki tona papa ratou ko ona tungane, Kia manakohia mai ahau e koutou, a ko ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau ka hoatu e ahau.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favour in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12 Ahakoa pehea te nui o te tapakuha me te hakari e meatia mai e koutou ki ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau: otira homai te kotiro hei wahine maku.
Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13 Na ka whakahoki tinihanga nga tama a Hakopa ki a Hekeme raua ko Hamora, ko tona papa, i mea hoki ratou mo Rina, mo to ratou tuahine, i whakapokea e ia;
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 Ka mea ratou ki a raua, E kore tenei mea e taea e matou te mea, te hoatu i to matou tuahine ki te tangata kahore i kotia; he tawainga hoki tena mo matou:
and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15 Tenei ia te mea e whakaae ai matou ki a koutou: ki te peneitia koutou me matou, ki te kotia o koutou tane katoa;
Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
16 Katahi ka hoatu e matou a matou tamahine ki a koutou, ka tangohia mai hoki a koutou tamahine ma matou, a ka noho matou i roto i a koutou, a ka meinga tatou hei iwi kotahi.
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 Ki te kahore ia koutou e rongo ki ta matou, kia kotia koutou; na ka tango matou i ta matou tamahine, ka haere.
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
18 Na i pai a ratou kupu ki a Hamora, ki a Hekeme hoki, ki te tama a Hamora.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19 A kihai i whakaroa taua tamaiti ki te mea i taua mea, he matenui hoki nona ki te tamahine a Hakopa: he nui atu ano ia i nga tangata katoa o te whare o tona papa.
The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
20 Na ka haere a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, ki te kuwaha o to raua pa, a ka korero ki nga tangata o to raua pa, ka mea,
Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21 He hunga ata noho tenei ki a tatou; no reira tukua ratou kia noho ki tenei whenua, kia hokohoko ki konei; na ko te whenua nei, nana, he nui noa atu mo ratou; me tango mai e tatou a ratou tamahine hei wahine ma tatou, ka hoatu hoki i a tatou tama hine ki a ratou.
“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
22 Kotahi ano ia te mea e whakaae mai ai aua tangata ki a tatou, kia noho ki a tatou, kia waiho hei iwi kotahi, ki te kotia o tatou tane katoa, ki te peratia me ratou kua kotia nei.
Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male amongst us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Ko a ratou kararehe, ko a ratou taonga, me a ratou kirehe katoa, e kore ianei ena e riro mai i a tatou? erangi me whakaae atu tatou ki a ratou, a ka noho ratou ki a tatou.
Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24 A i whakarongo ki a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa; a i kotia katoatia nga tane, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa.
All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 A i te toru o nga ra, i a ratou e mamae ana, na ka tango nga tama tokorua a Hakopa, a Himiona raua ko Riwai, nga tungane o Rina, i tana hoari, i tana hoari, a haere ohorere ana ki te pa, a patua iho e raua nga tane katoa.
On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26 I patua ano hoki e raua a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama ki te mata o te hoari, a tangohia ana e raua a Rina i roto i te whare o Hekeme, a haere ana.
They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Na ka haere nga tama a Hakopa ki te hunga i patua, a pahuatia ana e ratou te pa, mo to ratou tuahine i whakapokea e ratou.
Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 I tangohia e ratou a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou kaihe, me nga mea hoki i te pa, me nga mea ano hoki i te mara;
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29 Me a ratou taonga katoa, a whakaraua ana a ratou tamariki katoa, me a ratou wahine, i pahuatia ano hoki nga mea katoa i roto i te whare.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Himiona raua ko Riwai, Ka raru ahau i a korua, ka meinga kia piro i roto i nga tangata whenua, i roto i nga Kanaani ratou ko nga Perihi: a ka huihui mai ratou ki ahau, ki te hunga tokoiti, a ka patua ahau; a ka ngaro ahau, ahau me toku whare.
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, amongst the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 A ka mea raua, Kia peratia koia e ia to matou tuahine me te wahine kairau?
They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
