उत्पत्ति 34

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

Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore 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 ।

Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.

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

His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

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

Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a 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 ।

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 शकेमका पिता हमोर याकूबसित कुराकानी गर्न गए ।

Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with 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 ।

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

Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

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

Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

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

You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, 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 ।

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

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

The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they 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 can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

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

Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, 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 we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

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

But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”

18 तिनीहरूको कुराले हमोर र तिनका छोरा शकेमलाई खुसी तुल्यायो ।

Their words pleased 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 ।

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

Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with 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 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 यो सर्तमा मात्रै ती मानिसहरू हामीसित बसी एउटै जाति हुन सहमत छन्: तिनीहरूजस्तै हाम्रो हरेक पुरुषको खतना हुनुपर्छ ।

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

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

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 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 ।

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

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

Jacob’s sons came on the dead, 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 ।

They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

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

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 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 ।

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

They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
