Uumama 34
1 Diinaan intalli Liyaan Yaaqoobiif deesse sun dubartoota biyyattii ilaaluudhaaf gad baate.
And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
2 Sheekem ilmi Hamoor namicha gosa Hiiwii kan bulchaa biyya sanaa ture ishee arge; innis qabee humnaan ishee gudeede.
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 Qalbiin isaas Diinaa intala Yaaqoobiin fudhatame; innis ishee jaallatee afaan tolaa itti dubbate.
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 Sheekemis abbaa isaa Hamooriin, “Intala kana na fuusisi” jedhe.
Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
5 Yaaqoob yommuu intalli isaa Diinaan akka gudeedamte dhagaʼetti, ilmaan isaa dirree irra horii tiksu turan; kanaafuu Yaaqoob hamma isaan galanitti ni calʼise.
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 Hamoor abbaan Sheekemis Yaaqoob wajjin dubbachuu dhaqe.
And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
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.
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 Hamoor garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Qalbiin ilma koo Sheekem intala keessan irra buʼeera. Maaloo isatti ishee heerumsiisaa.
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 Fuudhaa fi heerumaan walitti firoomnaa; intallan keessan nuu kennaa; intallan keenyas fuudhaa.
and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
10 Nu wajjin jiraadhaa; biyyattiin fuula keessan dura jirti; keessa jiraadhaatii itti daldalaa; qabeenyas itti horadhaa.”
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 Sheekemis abbaa Diinaatii fi obboloota isheetiin akkana jedhe; “Ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argannaan waanuma isin naan jettan isiniif nan kenna.
And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you shall name.
12 Isinis gabbara misirrittiitii fi kennaa ani fiduu qabu hamma feetan natti muraa; anis waan isin naan jettan nan baasa. Intalattii qofa natti heerumsiisaa.”
Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as you shall say to me, only you shall give me this damsel for a wife.
13 Ilmaan Yaaqoob immoo waan Sheekem obboleettii isaanii Diinaa gudeedeef yeroo Sheekemii fi abbaa isaa Hamooriif deebii kennanitti haxxummaadhaan dubbatan.
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 Isaanis akkana isaaniin jedhan; “Nu waan akkanaa gochuu hin dandeenyu; nu nama dhagna hin qabatiniif intala keenya kennuu hin dandeenyu. Kun nuuf salphina.
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 Nu waan tokko qofaan tole isiniin jenna; kunis yoo isin dhiira keessan hunda dhagna qabdanii akkuma keenya taatanii dha.
Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if you also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
16 Ergasii nu intallan keenya isinii kennina; intallan keessan immoo ni fuuna. Gidduu keessan ni jiraanna; isin wajjinis saba tokko ni taana.
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 Garuu yoo isin dhagna qabachuu diddan nu obboleettii keenya fudhannee deemna.”
But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
18 Dubbiin isaanii Hamoorii fi Sheekem ilma Hamoor ni gammachiise.
And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
19 Sheekem namoota mana abbaa isaa jiraatan hunda caalaa kabajamaa ture; inni sababii intala Yaaqoobitti gammadeef waan kana lafa irra hin harkifne;
And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honorable of all in his father's house.
20 Hamoorii fi ilmi isaa Sheekem gara karra magaalaa isaanii dhufanii namoota magaalaa isaaniitiin akkana jedhan;
And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
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.
These men are peaceful, 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 Garuu namoonni kunneen akka saba tokkootti nu wajjin jiraachuuf tole kan jedhan yoo dhiironni keenya akkuma isaanii dhagna qabatan qofa.
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 Loon isaanii, qabeenyi isaaniitii fi horiin isaanii kaan hundinuu kanuma keenya hin taʼanii? Kanaafuu kottaa tole isaaniin jennaa; isaanis nu wajjin ni jiraatu.”
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 Namoonni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuu Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemiin walii galan; dhiironni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuus dhagna qabatan.
And all that went in at the gate of their city listened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
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.
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 killed every male.
26 Isaanis goraadeedhaan Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemin ajjeesanii Diinaa immoo mana Sheekemiitii fudhatanii qajeelan.
And they killed Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
27 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis reeffawwan irra darbanii magaalaa obboleettiin isaanii itti gudeedamte sana saaman.
But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
28 Isaanis bushaayee isaanii, loon isaanii, harroota isaaniitii fi waan isaan magaalaa keessaa fi alaa qaban hunda fudhatan.
And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatever were in the city, and whatever were in the plain.
29 Qabeenya isaanii hunda, dubartootaa fi ijoollee isaanii hunda fudhatanii deeman; waan mana keessa jiru hundas ni boojiʼan.
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 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 Symeon and Levi, You 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 Isaan garuu, “Yoos inni akkuma sagaagaltuu tokkootti obboleettii keenyatti haa taphatuu ree?” jedhanii deebisan.
And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
