1 Diinaan intalli Liyaan Yaaqoobiif deesse sun dubartoota biyyattii ilaaluudhaaf gad baate.
Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went out to meet the young women of the land.
2 Sheekem ilmi Hamoor namicha gosa Hiiwii kan bulchaa biyya sanaa ture ishee arge; innis qabee humnaan ishee gudeede.
Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her and he grabbed her, assaulted her, and slept with her.
3 Qalbiin isaas Diinaa intala Yaaqoobiin fudhatame; innis ishee jaallatee afaan tolaa itti dubbate.
He was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.
4 Sheekemis abbaa isaa Hamooriin, “Intala kana na fuusisi” jedhe.
Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get this young woman for me as a 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 heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. His sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Hamoor abbaan Sheekemis Yaaqoob wajjin dubbachuu dhaqe.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with 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.
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of the matter. The men were offended. They were very angry because he had disgraced Israel by forcing himself on Jacob's daughter, for such a thing should not have been done.
8 Hamoor garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Qalbiin ilma koo Sheekem intala keessan irra buʼeera. Maaloo isatti ishee heerumsiisaa.
Hamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem loves your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Fuudhaa fi heerumaan walitti firoomnaa; intallan keessan nuu kennaa; intallan keenyas fuudhaa.
Intermarry with us, 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.”
You will live with us, and the land will be open to you to live and trade in, and to acquire property.”
11 Sheekemis abbaa Diinaatii fi obboloota isheetiin akkana jedhe; “Ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argannaan waanuma isin naan jettan isiniif nan kenna.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you tell me I will give.
12 Isinis gabbara misirrittiitii fi kennaa ani fiduu qabu hamma feetan natti muraa; anis waan isin naan jettan nan baasa. Intalattii qofa natti heerumsiisaa.”
Ask me for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me, but give me the young woman as a wife.”
13 Ilmaan Yaaqoob immoo waan Sheekem obboleettii isaanii Diinaa gudeedeef yeroo Sheekemii fi abbaa isaa Hamooriif deebii kennanitti haxxummaadhaan dubbatan.
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, because Shechem had defiled 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.
They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to anyone who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 Nu waan tokko qofaan tole isiniin jenna; kunis yoo isin dhiira keessan hunda dhagna qabdanii akkuma keenya taatanii dha.
Only on this condition will we agree with you: If you will become circumcised as we are, if every male among you is circumcised.
16 Ergasii nu intallan keenya isinii kennina; intallan keessan immoo ni fuuna. Gidduu keessan ni jiraanna; isin wajjinis saba tokko ni taana.
Then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.
17 Garuu yoo isin dhagna qabachuu diddan nu obboleettii keenya fudhannee deemna.”
But if you do not listen to us and become circumcised, then we will take our sister and we will leave.”
18 Dubbiin isaanii Hamoorii fi Sheekem ilma Hamoor ni gammachiise.
Their words pleased 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;
The young man did not delay to do what they said, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and because he was the most honored person in all his father's household.
20 Hamoorii fi ilmi isaa Sheekem gara karra magaalaa isaanii dhufanii namoota magaalaa isaaniitiin akkana jedhan;
Hamor and Shechem his son went to the gate of their city and spoke with 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 at peace with us, so let them live in the land and trade in it for, really, the land is large enough for 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.
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us and become one people: If every male among us is circumcised, as they 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.”
Will not their livestock and their property—all their animals be ours? So let us agree with them, and they will live among 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.
All the men of the city listened to Hamor and Shechem, his son. Every male was circumcised.
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.
On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob (Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers), each took his sword and they attacked the city that was certain of its security, and they killed all the males.
26 Isaanis goraadeedhaan Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemin ajjeesanii Diinaa immoo mana Sheekemiitii fudhatanii qajeelan.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword. They took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
27 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis reeffawwan irra darbanii magaalaa obboleettiin isaanii itti gudeedamte sana saaman.
The other sons of Jacob came to the dead bodies and looted the city, because the people had defiled their sister.
28 Isaanis bushaayee isaanii, loon isaanii, harroota isaaniitii fi waan isaan magaalaa keessaa fi alaa qaban hunda fudhatan.
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and everything in the city and in the surrounding fields with
29 Qabeenya isaanii hunda, dubartootaa fi ijoollee isaanii hunda fudhatanii deeman; waan mana keessa jiru hundas ni boojiʼan.
all their wealth. All their children and their wives, they captured. They even took everything that was 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.”
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, to make me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. If they gather themselves together against me and attack me, then I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
31 Isaan garuu, “Yoos inni akkuma sagaagaltuu tokkootti obboleettii keenyatti haa taphatuu ree?” jedhanii deebisan.
But Simeon and Levi said, “Should Shechem have dealt with our sister as with a prostitute?”
