1 Mojzes 34

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

Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, —to see 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.

And Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the land, saw her, —so he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.

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

And his soul clave unto Dinah, daughter of Jacob, —and he loved the young woman, and spake to the heart of the young woman.

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

Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying, —Take me this girl to 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.

Now, Jacob, had heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, but, his sons, happened to be with his cattle in the field, —so Jacob kept quiet until they came in.

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

Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, —to speak with him.

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.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, —for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, seeing that so, it 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.

So then Hamor spake with them saying—As for Shechem my son, his soul hath become attached to your daughter, —I pray you give her to him, to wife.

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

And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, —your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to you.

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

And with us, shall ye dwell, —and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein.

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

Then said Shechem unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes, —and, whatsoever ye may say unto me, will I give:

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

Heap on me, exceedingly, dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me, —but give me the young woman, to wife.

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

And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spake (because he had defiled Dinah their sister)—

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

and said unto them—We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man that is uncircumcised, —for a reproach, it would be to us.

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

Only herein, can we consent to you, —If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male,

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

then will we give our daughters to you, and your daughters, will we take to us, —and we will dwell with 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 ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone.

18 Njihove besede so ugajale Hamórju in Hamórjevemu sinu Sihemu.

And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, —and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;

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

and the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, —he, moreover being more honourable than all the house of his father.

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

So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, —and they spake unto the men of their city, saying:

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.

As for these men, in peace, they are with us—let them therefore dwell in the land and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands before them, —their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and our daughters, let us give 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.

Only herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, —If we circumcise to us every male, even as they are circumcised.

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.«

Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with 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.

And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, —and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth out of the gate of his city.

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.

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came in upon the city, boldly, —and slew every, male;

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

Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword, —and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth,

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

The sons of Jacob, came in upon the slain and plundered the city, —because they had defiled their sister:

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

their flocks, and their herds and their asses, —and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, they took;

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

and all their wealth and all their little ones, and their women, took they captive, and seized as plunder, —even all that was 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 said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi—Ye have troubled me by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites, —I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves, together against me and smite me, —and I shall be destroyed both I and my house.

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

And they said, —As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.
