उत्पत्ति 34

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

And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

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

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he 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 his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.

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

And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as 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 he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.

6 शकेमका पिता हमोर याकूबसित कुराकानी गर्न गए ।

And Hamor the father of Shechem came out 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 fields when they heard [it]; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

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

And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.

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

And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.

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

And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.

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

And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes; and what ye shall say to me I will give.

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

Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife.

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

And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke — because he had defiled Dinah 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 said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach to us.

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

But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, 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 ।

then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.

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

But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.

18 तिनीहरूको कुराले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।

And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

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 youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father.

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

And Hamor and Shechem 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 with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land — behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters.

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

But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people — if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.

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

Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us consent 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 out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised — all that went out at the gate of his city.

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 sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

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

And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.

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

The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

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

Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what [was] in the city, and what [was] in the field they took;

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

and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was 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 Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land — among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

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

And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
