Uumama 34

1 Diinaan intalli Liyaan Yaaqoobiif deesse sun dubartoota biyyattii ilaaluudhaaf gad baate.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

2 Sheekem ilmi Hamoor namicha gosa Hiiwii kan bulchaa biyya sanaa ture ishee arge; innis qabee humnaan ishee gudeede.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

3 Qalbiin isaas Diinaa intala Yaaqoobiin fudhatame; innis ishee jaallatee afaan tolaa itti dubbate.

Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

4 Sheekemis abbaa isaa Hamooriin, “Intala kana na fuusisi” jedhe.

And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

5 Yaaqoob yommuu intalli isaa Diinaan akka gudeedamte dhagaʼetti, ilmaan isaa dirree irra horii tiksu turan; kanaafuu Yaaqoob hamma isaan galanitti ni calʼise.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

6 Hamoor abbaan Sheekemis Yaaqoob wajjin dubbachuu dhaqe.

Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

7 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis akkuma waan uumame sana dhagaʼaniin dirreedhaa dhufan. Isaanis sababii Sheekem intala Yaaqoob wajjin ciisuudhaan Israaʼel keessatti waan jibbisiisaa hojjeteef ni gaddan; akka malees aaran.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

8 Hamoor garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Qalbiin ilma koo Sheekem intala keessan irra buʼeera. Maaloo isatti ishee heerumsiisaa.

But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?

9 Fuudhaa fi heerumaan walitti firoomnaa; intallan keessan nuu kennaa; intallan keenyas fuudhaa.

And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 Nu wajjin jiraadhaa; biyyattiin fuula keessan dura jirti; keessa jiraadhaatii itti daldalaa; qabeenyas itti horadhaa.”

Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

11 Sheekemis abbaa Diinaatii fi obboloota isheetiin akkana jedhe; “Ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argannaan waanuma isin naan jettan isiniif nan kenna.

And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.

12 Isinis gabbara misirrittiitii fi kennaa ani fiduu qabu hamma feetan natti muraa; anis waan isin naan jettan nan baasa. Intalattii qofa natti heerumsiisaa.”

However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

13 Ilmaan Yaaqoob immoo waan Sheekem obboleettii isaanii Diinaa gudeedeef yeroo Sheekemii fi abbaa isaa Hamooriif deebii kennanitti haxxummaadhaan dubbatan.

But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

14 Isaanis akkana isaaniin jedhan; “Nu waan akkanaa gochuu hin dandeenyu; nu nama dhagna hin qabatiniif intala keenya kennuu hin dandeenyu. Kun nuuf salphina.

And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

15 Nu waan tokko qofaan tole isiniin jenna; kunis yoo isin dhiira keessan hunda dhagna qabdanii akkuma keenya taatanii dha.

But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

16 Ergasii nu intallan keenya isinii kennina; intallan keessan immoo ni fuuna. Gidduu keessan ni jiraanna; isin wajjinis saba tokko ni taana.

Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

17 Garuu yoo isin dhagna qabachuu diddan nu obboleettii keenya fudhannee deemna.”

But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

18 Dubbiin isaanii Hamoorii fi Sheekem ilma Hamoor ni gammachiise.

And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.

19 Sheekem namoota mana abbaa isaa jiraatan hunda caalaa kabajamaa ture; inni sababii intala Yaaqoobitti gammadeef waan kana lafa irra hin harkifne;

And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

20 Hamoorii fi ilmi isaa Sheekem gara karra magaalaa isaanii dhufanii namoota magaalaa isaaniitiin akkana jedhan;

Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

21 “Jarri kun nuuf warra nagaa ti; kanaafuu biyyattii keessa jiraatanii itti haa daldalatan. Biyyattiin isaaniif lafa balʼaa qabdi; nu intallan isaanii haa fuunu; isaanis intallan keenya haa fuudhan.

It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

22 Garuu namoonni kunneen akka saba tokkootti nu wajjin jiraachuuf tole kan jedhan yoo dhiironni keenya akkuma isaanii dhagna qabatan qofa.

But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

23 Loon isaanii, qabeenyi isaaniitii fi horiin isaanii kaan hundinuu kanuma keenya hin taʼanii? Kanaafuu kottaa tole isaaniin jennaa; isaanis nu wajjin ni jiraatu.”

Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

24 Namoonni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuu Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemiin walii galan; dhiironni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuus dhagna qabatan.

Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

25 Guyyaa sadii booddee utuma isaan dhukkubsachaa jiranuu, ilmaan Yaaqoobii keessaa namni lama Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin, obboloonni Diinaa, goraadee isaanii fudhatanii magaalaa homaa quba hin qabne sana dhaʼanii dhiira hunda ajjeesan.

But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

26 Isaanis goraadeedhaan Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemin ajjeesanii Diinaa immoo mana Sheekemiitii fudhatanii qajeelan.

And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

27 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis reeffawwan irra darbanii magaalaa obboleettiin isaanii itti gudeedamte sana saaman.

And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

28 Isaanis bushaayee isaanii, loon isaanii, harroota isaaniitii fi waan isaan magaalaa keessaa fi alaa qaban hunda fudhatan.

They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

29 Qabeenya isaanii hunda, dubartootaa fi ijoollee isaanii hunda fudhatanii deeman; waan mana keessa jiru hundas ni boojiʼan.

And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

30 Yaaqoobis Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Isin akka ani Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzota biyya kana jiraatanitti xireeffatamu gochuudhaan rakkoo natti fiddan. Nu baayʼinaan xinnoo dha; yoo isaan humna walitti dabalatanii na lolan anii fi warri mana koo hundinuu ni dhumna.”

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

31 Isaan garuu, “Yoos inni akkuma sagaagaltuu tokkootti obboleettii keenyatti haa taphatuu ree?” jedhanii deebisan.

But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
