< 1 Mojzes 34 >
1 Dina, Lejina hči, ki jo je rodila Jakobu, pa je odšla, da pogleda hčere dežele.
Dinah, Jacob and Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the local women.
2 Ko jo je zagledal Sihem, sin Hivéjca Hamórja, princ dežele, jo je vzel in legel z njo ter jo omadeževal.
Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her. He grabbed hold of her and raped her.
3 Njegova duša se je pridružila k Jakobovi hčeri Dini in ljubil je gospodično in gospodični prijazno govoril.
However, then he fell deeply in love with Dinah and tried to get her to love him too.
4 Sihem je spregovoril svojemu očetu Hamórju, rekoč: »Pridobi mi to gospodično za ženo.«
He went and asked his father, “Get this young girl for me so I can marry her.”
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 found out that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, but as his sons were away looking after the flocks in the fields he didn't say anything until they came home.
6 Sihemov oče Hamór je odšel k Jakobu, da se z njim posvetuje.
In the meantime Hamor, Shechem's father, arrived to talk 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 returned from the fields they were very upset when they heard the news and became extremely angry because Shechem had done something outrageous in Israel by having sex with Jacob's daughter—something that should never 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.
Hamor told them, “My son Shechem is very much in love with your daughter and your sister Dinah. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Poročajte se z nami in svoje hčere dajajte nam in jemljite naše hčere k vam.
In fact we can have more marriages—you can give us your daughters and you can have our daughters.
10 Prebivali boste z nami in dežela bo pred vami. Prebivajte in trgujte v njej in si pridobite posesti v njej.«
You can live among us and settle down wherever you like. You can go where you want and buy land for yourselves.”
11 Sihem je rekel njenemu očetu in njenim bratom: »Naj najdem milost v vaših očeh in kar mi boste rekli, bom dal.
Then Shechem himself spoke up, and said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Please accept me and my proposal, and I'll do whatever you ask.
12 Prosite me kolikorkoli veliko doto in darilo in bom dal, če mi boste rekli, toda dajte mi gospodično za ženo.«
You can set the bride price as high as you like, and I'll pay it along with all the gifts I'll give. Just let me have the girl so I can marry her.”
13 Jakobovi sinovi pa so Sihemu in njegovemu očetu Hamórju varljivo odgovorili ter rekli, ker je omadeževal njihovo sestro Dino.
Jacob's sons weren't honest when they answered him and his father Hamor because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
14 Rekli so jima: »Ne moremo storiti te stvari, da damo svojo sestro nekomu, ki je neobrezan, kajti to bi nam bil očitek.
They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on us.
15 Toda v tem se bomo strinjali z vami, če boste, kakor smo mi, da bo vsak moški izmed vas obrezan,
We will only agree to it with this condition: all of you must be circumcised like us.
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, and we will live among you and become one family.
17 Toda če nam ne boste prisluhnili, da bi bili obrezani, potem bomo vzeli svojo hčer in odšli.«
But if you don't agree with us that you should be circumcised, then we'll take our sister and leave.”
18 Njihove besede so ugajale Hamórju in Hamórjevemu sinu Sihemu.
Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to what was proposed.
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 Shechem didn't waste any time in arranging this because he was infatuated with Jacob's daughter, and he was viewed as the most important person in his father's family.
20 Hamór in njegov sin Sihem sta prišla k velikim vratom njihovega mesta in se posvetovala z možmi njihovega mesta, rekoč:
Hamor and Shechem went to the town gate and spoke to the other leaders there.
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 our friends,” they told them. “Let's have them live here in our country and allow them to go wherever they want—it's big enough for all of them too. We can take their daughters as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry.
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 they will only agree to this on one condition: they will only join us and become one family if every male among us is circumcised like 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.«
If that happens, won't all their livestock and property—all their animals—end up belonging to us? We just have to agree to this and they will come and live 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.
Everyone there at the town gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem so every male in the town 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 suffering pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Jacob's sons and Dinah's brothers, came with their swords into the town. Unopposed, they 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 Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.
27 Jakobovi sinovi so prišli na umorjene in oplenili mesto, ker so omadeževali njihovo sestro.
Jacob's other sons arrived, robbed the dead bodies, and looted the town where their sister had been violated.
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 sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. They took whatever was in the town, and in the fields—
29 Vse njihovo premoženje, vse njihove malčke in vse njihove žene so ujeli in oplenili celo vse, kar je bilo v hiši.
all their possessions. They captured all their women and children, and plundered everything in their homes.
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.«
But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.”
31 Rekli so: »Naj bi z našo sestro postopal kakor s pocestnico?«
But they replied, “Should we have let him treat our sister like a prostitute?”
