1 Mojzes 34

1 Dina, Lejina hči, ki jo je rodila Jakobu, pa je odšla, da pogleda hčere dežele.

Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

2 Ko jo je zagledal Sihem, sin Hivéjca Hamórja, princ dežele, jo je vzel in legel z njo ter jo omadeževal.

When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

3 Njegova duša se je pridružila k Jakobovi hčeri Dini in ljubil je gospodično in gospodični prijazno govoril.

And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.

4 Sihem je spregovoril svojemu očetu Hamórju, rekoč: »Pridobi mi to gospodično za ženo.«

So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”

5 Jakob je slišal, da je omadeževal njegovo hčer Dino. Torej njegovi sinovi so bili z živino na polju in Jakob je ohranil svoj mir, dokler niso prišli.

Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent about it until they returned.

6 Sihemov oče Hamór je odšel k Jakobu, da se z njim posvetuje.

Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

7 Ko so to slišali Jakobovi sinovi, so prišli s polja. Možje so bili užaloščeni in zelo ogorčeni, ker je storil neumnost v Izraelu, ležeč z Jakobovo hčerjo, katera stvar se sploh ne bi smela zgoditi.

When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.

8 Hamór se je z njimi posvetoval, rekoč: »Duša mojega sina Sihema hrepeni za vašo hčerjo. Prosim vas, dajte mu jo za ženo.

But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

9 Poročajte se z nami in svoje hčere dajajte nam in jemljite naše hčere k vam.

Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 Prebivali boste z nami in dežela bo pred vami. Prebivajte in trgujte v njej in si pridobite posesti v njej.«

You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”

11 Sihem je rekel njenemu očetu in njenim bratom: »Naj najdem milost v vaših očeh in kar mi boste rekli, bom dal.

Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.

12 Prosite me kolikorkoli veliko doto in darilo in bom dal, če mi boste rekli, toda dajte mi gospodično za ženo.«

Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”

13 Jakobovi sinovi pa so Sihemu in njegovemu očetu Hamórju varljivo odgovorili ter rekli, ker je omadeževal njihovo sestro Dino.

But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.

14 Rekli so jima: »Ne moremo storiti te stvari, da damo svojo sestro nekomu, ki je neobrezan, kajti to bi nam bil očitek.

“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.

15 Toda v tem se bomo strinjali z vami, če boste, kakor smo mi, da bo vsak moški izmed vas obrezan,

We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.

16 potem vam bomo dajali svoje hčere in vaše hčere jemali k nam in prebivali bomo z vami in postali bomo eno ljudstvo.

Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.

17 Toda če nam ne boste prisluhnili, da bi bili obrezani, potem bomo vzeli svojo hčer in odšli.«

But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”

18 Njihove besede so ugajale Hamórju in Hamórjevemu sinu Sihemu.

Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.

19 Mladenič ni odlašal storiti stvari, ker je imel veselje v Jakobovi hčeri. Bil pa je bolj častitljiv kakor vsa hiša njegovega očeta.

The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.

20 Hamór in njegov sin Sihem sta prišla k velikim vratom njihovega mesta in se posvetovala z možmi njihovega mesta, rekoč:

So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:

21 »Ti ljudje so z nami miroljubni, zato naj prebivajo v deželi in v njej trgujejo, kajti dežela, glejte, ta je dovolj velika zanje. Jemljimo si njihove hčere za žene in dajajmo jim svoje hčere.

“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.

22 Samo v tem se bodo možje strinjali z nami, da prebivajo z nami, da bi bili eno ljudstvo, če bo vsak moški izmed nas obrezan, kakor so obrezani oni.

But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.

23 Ali ne bo njihova živina in njihovo imetje in vsaka njihova žival naša? Naj se samo strinjamo z njimi in bodo prebivali z nami.«

Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”

24 Hamórju in njegovemu sinu Sihemu so prisluhnili vsi, ki so odšli od velikih vrat tega mesta, in vsak moški je bil obrezan, vsi, ki so šli od velikih vrat njegovega mesta.

All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.

25 Pripetilo pa se je na tretji dan, ko so bili občutljivi, da sta dva izmed Jakobovih sinov, Simeon in Lévi, Dinina brata, vzela vsak svoj meč in predrzno prišla nad mesto in usmrtila vse njihove moške.

Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.

26 Usmrtila sta Hamórja in njegovega sina Sihema z ostrino meča, Dino pa vzela iz Sihemove hiše ter odšla.

They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

27 Jakobovi sinovi so prišli na umorjene in oplenili mesto, ker so omadeževali njihovo sestro.

Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.

28 Vzeli so njihove ovce, njihove vole, njihove osle in to, kar je bilo v mestu in to, kar je bilo na polju.

They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.

29 Vse njihovo premoženje, vse njihove malčke in vse njihove žene so ujeli in oplenili celo vse, kar je bilo v hiši.

They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.

30 Jakob je rekel Simeonu in Léviju: »Privedla sta me v neprijeten položaj, da zaudarjam med prebivalci dežele, med Kánaanci in Perizéjci. Jaz sem maloštevilen, oni pa se bodo zbrali zoper mene in me ubili, in jaz bom uničen, jaz in moja hiša.«

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

31 Rekli so: »Naj bi z našo sestro postopal kakor s pocestnico?«

But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
