उत्पत्ति 34

1 अब लेआले याकूबको निम्ति जन्माएकी छोरी दीना त्यस देशका युवतीहरूसित भेट गर्न गइन् ।

And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.

2 त्यस देशका रजौटा हिव्वी हमोरको छोरा शकेमले उनलाई देखी उनलाई प्रकेर लगे र उनीसित सहवास गरे ।

And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.

3 तिनी याकूबकी छोरी दीनासित मोहित भएका थिए । तिनले यी युवतीलाई प्रेम गरी स्‍नेहपूर्वक बोले ।

And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.

4 शकेमले आफ्ना पिता हमोरलाई यसो भने, “मेरी पत्‍नी हुनलाई ती युवती मलाई ल्याइदिनुहोस् ।”

Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.

5 अब याकूबले आफ्नी छोरी दीनालाई शकेमले अशुद्ध पारेको कुरा सुने । तिनका छोराहरू खेतमा गाईबस्तु चराउन गएका थिए । त्यसैले तिनीहरू नफर्कुञ्‍जेल याकूब चुप लागेर बसे ।

And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.

6 शकेमका पिता हमोर याकूबसित कुराकानी गर्न गए ।

And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.

7 याकूबका छोराहरू खेतबाट फर्कंदा तिनीहरूले यस विषयबारे सुने । तिनीहरूलाई चोट पुगेको थियो । याकूबकी छोरीमाथि जबरजस्ती सहवास गरेर तिनले इस्राएलको बेइज्‍जत गरेकाले तिनीहरू ज्यादै रिसाए । किनकि यस्तो कुरो गरिनुहुँदैनथ्यो ।

And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.

8 हमोरले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो शकेमले तपाईंकी छोरी दीनालाई माया गर्छन् । कृपया, उनलाई तिनकी पत्‍नी हुन दिनुहोस् ।

And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,

9 हामीसित अन्तरजातीय विवाह गर्नुहोस् । तपाईंका छोरीहरू हामीलाई दिनुहोस् र हाम्री छोरीहरू तपाईंहरूले लैजानुहोस् ।

and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.

10 तपाईंहरू हामीसितै बस्‍नुहोस् । तपाईंहरूलाई बसोबास गरी व्यापार गर्न र सम्पत्ति आर्जन गर्न यो देश खुला हुनेछ ।”

And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.

11 शकेमले उनका पिता र उनका दाजुहरूलाई भने, “मलाई तपाईंहरूले निगाह गर्नुहोस्, र तपाईंहरूले मलाई जे भन्‍नुहुन्छ, म त्यही दिनेछु ।

And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever ye shall name.

12 तपाईंहरूलाई इच्छा लागेमुताबिक जतिसुकै दाइजो र उपहार माग्‍नुुहोस् म ती दिनेछु, तर मलाई यी युवती पत्‍नी तुल्याउनलाई दिनुहोस् ।”

Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as ye shall say to me, only ye shall give me this damsel for a wife.

13 शकेमले दीनालाई अशुद्ध तुल्याएकाले याकूबका छोराहरूले शकेम र तिनका पिता हमोरलाई छलपूर्वक जवाफ दिए ।

And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.

14 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी यस्तो कुरा गर्न सक्दैनौँ । खतना नगरेको कुनै पनि व्यक्तिलाई हामी हाम्री बहिनी दिन सक्दैनौँ । किनकि त्यसो गर्दा हाम्रो बेइज्‍जत हुन्छ ।

And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.

15 यो सर्तमा मात्रै हामी तपाईंहरूसित सहमत हुनेछौः हामीजस्तै तपाईंहरूको हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।

Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if ye also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.

16 तब हामी हाम्रा छोरीहरू तपाईंहरूलाई दिनेछौँ र तपाईंहरूका छोरीहरू हामी लिनेछौँ अनि हामी तपाईंहरूसित बसी एउटै जाति हुनेछौँ ।

And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.

17 तर तपाईंहरूले हाम्रो कुरा सुनेर खतना गर्नुभएन भने हामी हाम्री बहिनी लिएर जानेछौँ ।”

But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.

18 तिनीहरूको कुराले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।

And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.

19 यिनीहरूले भनेका कुरा गर्न ती युवकले ढिला गरेनन् किनकि तिनी याकूबकी छोरीसित मोहित भएका थिए, र तिनी आफ्ना पिताको घरानामा सबैभन्दा इज्‍जतदार व्यक्ति थिए ।

And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honourable of all in his father's house.

20 हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेम तिनीहरूको सहरको द्वारमा गएर सहरका मानिसहरूलाई भने,

And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

21 “यी मानिसहरू शान्तिप्रिय छन् । त्यसैले यिनीहरू हामीसितै बसोबास गरी व्यापार गरून् किनकि वास्तवमा हाम्रो देश तिनीहरूका लागि पनि ज्यादै ठुलो छ । तिनीहरूका छोरीहरूलाई पत्‍नी बनाउनलाई लिऔँ र तिनीहरूलाई हाम्रा छोरीहरू दिऔँ ।

These men are peaceable, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.

22 यो सर्तमा मात्रै ती मानिसहरू हामीसित बसी एउटै जाति हुन सहमत छन्: तिनीहरूजस्तै हाम्रो हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।

Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.

23 के तिनीहरूका सबै गाईबस्तु र सम्पत्ति अर्थात् जनावरहरू हाम्रा हुनेछैनन् र? त्यसैले तिनीहरूसित सहमत होऔँ र तिनीहरू हामीसित बसून् ।”

And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.

24 सहरका सबै मानिसले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमको कुरा माने, अनि हरेक पुरुषको खतना गरियो ।

And all that went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.

25 तेस्रो दिनमा तिनीहरू अझै दर्दमा हुँदा याकूबका दुई जना छोरा शिमियोन र लेवी (दीनाका दाजुहरू) ले आ-आफ्नो तरवार लिई आफ्नो सुरक्षामा ढुक्‍क रहेको सहरमाथि आक्रमण गरी सबै पुरुषलाई मारे ।

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male.

26 तिनीहरूले तरवारले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले दीनालाई शकेमको घरबाट लिएर गए ।

And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.

27 याकूबका अन्य छोराहरू मरेकाहरूकहाँ आई सहरलाई लुटे किनकि ती मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूकी बहिनीलाई अशुद्ध बनाएका थिए ।

But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.

28 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका बगालहरू, बथानहरू, गधाहरू, सबै सम्पत्ति र सहरमा भएको हरेक थोक लिएर गए ।

And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain.

29 तिनीहरूका सबै केटाकेटी र पत्‍नीहरूलाई तिनीहरूले कैद गरे । घरहरूभित्र भएको हरेक थोक पनि तिनीहरूले कब्जा गरे ।

And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.

30 याकूबले शिमियोन र लेवीलाई भने, “यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू अर्थात् कनानीहरू र परिज्‍जीहरूका सामु मलाई अप्रिय तुल्याएर तिमीहरूले ममाथि सङ्कष्‍ट ल्याएका छौ । मेरा मानिसहरू थोरै छन् तिनीहरू एकै ठाउँमा जम्मा भई ममाथि आक्रमण गरे भने म र मेरो घराना नष्‍ट हुनेछौँ ।

And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.

31 तर शिमियोन र लेवीले भने, “के शकेमले हाम्री बहिनीलाई वेश्यालाई जस्तै व्यवहार गर्नहुन्छ?”

And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
