UGenesisi 34
1 UDina, indodakazi kaLeya ayizalela uJakhobe wasuka wayakwethekelela abafazi balelolizwe.
Pea ko Taina ko e taʻahine ʻa Lia, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia Sēkope, naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau fefine ʻoe fonua.
2 Kwathi uShekhemu, indodana kaHamori umHivi, umbusi walowomango, ebona uDina, wamthatha wamdlova.
Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻa Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tangata Hevi, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne puke ia ʻo na mohe, ʻo ne fakahalaʻi ia.
3 Inhliziyo yakhe yathatheka ngoDina indodakazi kaJakhobe, wayithanda intombi le, wakhuluma layo kamnandi.
Pea pikitai hono laumālie kia Taina ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope, pea ʻofa ia ki he taʻahine, ʻo ne lea lelei ki he taʻahine.
4 UShekhemu wathi kuyise uHamori, “Ngithathela intombi le ibe ngumkami.”
Pea lea ʻa Sikemi ki heʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke maʻu mai ʻae taʻahine ni ke ma mali.”
5 UJakhobe wathi ekuzwa ukuthi indodakazi yakhe uDina yayingcolisiwe, amadodana akhe ayesegangeni lezifuyo; wathula nje aze abuya ekhaya.
Pea fanongo ʻa Sēkope kuo ne fakahalaʻi hono ʻofefine ko Taina; ka naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene fanga manu: pea longo pe ʻa Sēkope kaeʻoua ke nau haʻu.
6 Ngakho usekaShekhemu, uHamori wayakhuluma loJakhobe.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi kia Sēkope, ke na alea mo ia.
7 Ngalesosikhathi amadodana kaJakhobe ayesebuyile evela egangeni evele esezwile okwasekwenzakele. Babelosizi njalo begcwele ulaka ngoba uShekhemu wayenze into elihlazo ko-Israyeli ngokudlova indodakazi kaJakhobe, into okwakungamelanga yenziwe.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngoue; pea mamahi ʻae kau tangata ʻo nau ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai meʻa kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mohe mo e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fai.
8 Kodwa uHamori wathi kubo, “Indodana yami uShekhemu uyayithanda indodakazi yakho. Muphe yona ibe ngumkakhe.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hemoa ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku foha ko Sikemi ki ho ʻofefine: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, foaki mai ia kiate ia, ke na mali.
9 Kasendiselane; sipheni amadodakazi enu, lani lizithathele amadodakazi ethu.
Pea mou fai mali mo kimautolu, pea foaki mai homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea mou maʻu homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu.
10 Lingazihlalela phakathi kwethu; ilizwe livulekile kini. Hlalani kulo, thengisani kulo njalo lifuye kulo.”
Pea ke tau nonofo; pea ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae fonua: mou nofo ki ai, mo fai hoʻomou fakatau, pea mou maʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻapi moʻomoutolu.”
11 UShekhemu wasesithi kuyise kaDina lakubanewabo, “Ngicela ukuthi lingamukele, ngizalinika loba yini eliyifunayo.
Pea pehē ʻe Sikemi ki he tamai [ʻae fefine ]mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻane, “ʻOfa ke u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, pea ko ia ʻoku mou tala te u foaki.
12 Khulumani amalobolo lokangaziwe, mina ngizakuletha ngobunengi bakho njengokufuna kwenu, njalo ngizakukhupha konke elikubizayo. Lina ngiphani intombi kuphela nje ibe ngumkami.”
Tala mai ʻae totongi lahi, pe ko e foaki, pea te u ʻatu ʻo hangē ko ia te mou tala kiate au, kae kehe ke foaki mai ʻae fefine ke ma mali.”
13 Kwathi ngoba udadewabo uDina wayesengcolisiwe, amadodana kaJakhobe aphendula ngobuqili ekhuluma loShekhemu loyise uHamori.
Pea naʻe lea fakakākā ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope kia Sikemi, mo ʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo nau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻa Taina, ko honau tuofefine:
14 Athi kubo, “Asingeke senze into enjalo; ngeke siphe udadewethu indoda engasokwanga. Lokho kungaba lihlazo kithi.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke foaki homau tuofefine ki ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu; he ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimautolu.
15 Sizavuma kuphela nxa lenze lokhu: ukuthi libe njengathi ngokusoka bonke abesilisa benu.
Ka ʻi he meʻa ni te mau loto kiate kimoutolu: ʻo kapau te mou hoko ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.
16 Lapho-ke sesingalendisela amadodakazi ethu lathi sithathe amadodakazi enu. Sizakwakha phakathi kwenu sibe ngabantu banye lani.
Pea te mau toki foaki homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu, pea te mau maʻu homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea te tau nonofo, pea te tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha.
17 Kodwa nxa lingavumi ukusokwa sizamthatha udadewethu sihambe.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate kimautolu ke mou kamu: pea te mau toʻo homau ʻofefine, ka mau ʻalu.”
18 Icebo labo lakhanya lilihle kuHamori loShekhemu.
Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Hemoa, mo Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa, ʻi heʻenau lea.
19 Ijaha leli eliyilo elalihlonitshwa kakhulu emzini kayise, kalisachithanga isikhathi ukukwenza lokho ababekutshilo ngoba lalitshiseka ngendodakazi kaJakhobe.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatuai ʻae talavou ke fai ʻae meʻa ko ia, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; pea naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ia ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai.
20 Ngakho uHamori lendodana yakhe uShekhemu baya entubeni yedolobho bayabonisana lamadoda edolobho lakibo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ki he matapā ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo nau alea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē,
21 Bathi, “Amadoda la alomusa kithi. Kabahlale elizweni lethu bathengiselane labantu; ilizwe leli lilendawo enkulu abangahlala kuyo. Singathatha amadodakazi abo labo bangathatha awethu.
“ʻOku nofo fiemālie pe ʻae kau tangata ni mo kitautolu; ko ia tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua mo fai ʻenau fakatau ʻi ai: he vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu; ke tau maʻu honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke mali, pea tau foaki kiate kinautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofefine.
22 Kodwa bangavuma ukuhlala phakathi kwethu kuphela nxa abesilisa bethu bengasokwa njengabo.
Ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻe loto ai ʻae kau tangata kiate kitautolu, ke nofo mo kitautolu, ke tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha, ʻo kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku nau kamu.
23 Kambe izifuyo zabo, lempahla yabo kanye layo yonke imfuyo yabo kakukuba ngokwethu na? Ngakho kasivumeni, khona bezakwakha phakathi kwethu.”
ʻIkai ʻe hoko ai ʻenau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa, ko e tau ngaahi meʻa? Kae kehe ke tau loto kiate kinautolu, pea te nau nofo mo kitautolu.
24 Wonke amadoda ayekhona entubeni yedolobho avumelana loHamori lendodana yakhe uShekhemu, kwathi bonke abesilisa balelodolobho basokwa.
Pea naʻe tokanga kia Hemoa mo Sikemi ko hono foha, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo; pea kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hū kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo.”
25 Ngemva kwensuku ezintathu, bonke belokhu besebuhlungwini, amadodana kaJakhobe amabili, uSimiyoni loLevi, abanewabo bakaDina, bathatha inkemba zabo balihlasela idolobho belibele, babulala bonke abesilisa.
Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono ʻaho tolu, kuo nau mamahi, pea naʻe taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā ʻe he ongo foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sēkope, ko Simione mo Livai, ko e ongo tuongaʻane ʻo Taina, ʻo na hū mālohi ki he kolo, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē.
26 OHamori lendodana yakhe uShekhemu babaquma ngenkemba bamkhupha uDina endlini kaShekhemu bahamba.
Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea na toʻo mai ʻa Taina mei he fale ʻo Sikemi, pea nau ō ai.
27 Amadodana kaJakhobe afikela phezu kwezidumbu aliphanga idolobho lapho udadewabo ayengcoliselwe khona.
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope ki he kakai mate ʻo nau maumauʻi ʻae kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakahalaʻi honau tuofefine.
28 Athumba imihlambi yabo yezimvu lenkomo, labobabhemi lakho konke okwakungokwabo phakathi edolobheni langaphandle egangeni.
Ne nau ʻave ʻenau fanga sipi mo e nau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga ʻasi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kolo, mo e meʻa ʻi he ngoue,
29 Bayiqukula yonke inotho yabo kanye labafazi labantwana, bathumba konke okwakusezindlini kwaba yimpango.
Mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē, mo nau ʻave fakapōpula ʻenau fānau iiki, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi fale.
30 UJakhobe wasesithi kuSimiyoni loLevi, “Selingehlisele uhlupho langenza ngasoleka kakhulu kumaKhenani lamaPherizi, abantu abahlala elizweni leli. Thina sibalutshwana, bangahlangana bangihlasele, mina lomuzi wami sizabhujiswa.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Simione mo Livai, “Kuo mo fakamamahiʻi au, ke fakanamukūʻi au, ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani mo e kakai Pelesi: ʻoku ou tokosiʻi au, pea te nau fakataha kotoa pē, ke tāmateʻi au, pea te u ʻauha, ko au, mo hoku fale.”
31 Kodwa bona baphendula bathi, “Bekufanele yini ukuthi aphathe udadewethu njengesifebe na?”
Pea naʻa na pehēange kiate ia, “He naʻe lelei ʻa ʻene fai ki homa tuofefine ʻo hangē ko ha muitau?”
