Génesis 34

1 Dina, la hija de Lea, que dio a luz a Jacob, salió a ver a las hijas de la tierra.

Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

2 La vio Siquem, hijo de Hamor el heveo, príncipe de la tierra. La tomó, se acostó con ella y la humilló.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.

3 Su alma se unió a Dina, la hija de Jacob, y amó a la joven, y le habló con cariño.

Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.

4 Siquem habló con su padre, Hamor, diciendo: “Consígueme a esta joven como esposa”.

And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

5 Jacob se enteró de que había mancillado a su hija Dina, y sus hijos estaban con su ganado en el campo. Jacob calló hasta que llegaron.

Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

6 Hamor, el padre de Siquem, salió a buscar a Jacob para hablar con él.

Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

7 Los hijos de Jacob vinieron del campo cuando lo oyeron. Los hombres se entristecieron y se enojaron mucho, porque él había hecho una locura en Israel al acostarse con la hija de Jacob, cosa que no debía hacerse.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

8 Hamor habló con ellos, diciendo: “El alma de mi hijo Siquem anhela a su hija. Por favor, dénsela como esposa.

But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?

9 Hagan matrimonios con nosotros. Dennos sus hijas y tomen las nuestras para ustedes.

And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 Viviréis con nosotros, y la tierra estará ante vosotros. Vivan y comercien en ella, y obtengan posesiones en ella”.

Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.

11 Siquem dijo a su padre y a sus hermanos: “Dejadme encontrar el favor de vuestros ojos, y todo lo que me digáis os lo daré.

And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.

12 Pedidme una gran cantidad como dote, y os daré lo que me pidáis, pero dadme a la joven como esposa”.

However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

13 Los hijos de Jacob respondieron a Siquem y a su padre Hamor con engaño cuando hablaron, porque había mancillado a Dina, su hermana,

But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

14 y les dijeron: “No podemos hacer esto, entregar a nuestra hermana a un incircunciso; porque eso es un reproche para nosotros.

And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

15 Sólo con esta condición os consentiremos. Si sois como nosotros, que todo varón de vosotros sea circuncidado,

But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

16 entonces os daremos nuestras hijas; y tomaremos vuestras hijas para nosotros, y moraremos con vosotros, y seremos un solo pueblo.

Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.

17 Pero si no nos escucháis y os circuncidáis, entonces tomaremos a nuestra hermana, y nos iremos”.

But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.

18 Sus palabras agradaron a Hamor y a Siquem, hijo de Hamor.

And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.

19 El joven no esperó para hacer esto, porque se había deleitado en la hija de Jacob, y fue honrado sobre toda la casa de su padre.

And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

20 Hamor y Siquem, su hijo, llegaron a la puerta de su ciudad, y hablaron con los hombres de su ciudad, diciendo:

Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

21 “Estos hombres son pacíficos con nosotros. Por lo tanto, déjenlos vivir en la tierra y comerciar en ella. Porque he aquí que la tierra es suficientemente grande para ellos. Tomemos a sus hijas para nosotros como esposas, y démosles nuestras hijas.

It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

22 Sólo con esta condición los hombres consentirán en vivir con nosotros, para ser un solo pueblo, si todo varón de entre nosotros se circuncida, como ellos se circuncidan.

But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

23 ¿No será nuestro su ganado y sus posesiones y todos sus animales? Sólo démosles nuestro consentimiento, y ellos habitarán con nosotros”.

Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

24 Todos los que salían de la puerta de su ciudad escuchaban a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, y todo varón era circuncidado, todos los que salían de la puerta de su ciudad.

Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

25 Al tercer día, cuando ya estaban adoloridos, dos de los hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, tomaron cada uno su espada, vinieron a la ciudad desprevenida y mataron a todos los varones.

But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

26 Mataron a Hamor y a Siquem, su hijo, a filo de espada, y sacaron a Dina de la casa de Siquem y se fueron.

And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

27 Los hijos de Jacob vinieron sobre los muertos y saquearon la ciudad, porque habían profanado a su hermana.

And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

28 Tomaron sus rebaños, sus vacas, sus asnos, lo que había en la ciudad, lo que había en el campo,

They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

29 y toda su riqueza. Llevaron cautivos a todos sus pequeños y a sus mujeres, y tomaron como botín todo lo que había en la casa.

And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

30 Jacob dijo a Simeón y a Leví: “Me habéis turbado para hacerme odioso a los habitantes del país, entre los cananeos y los ferezeos. Soy poco numeroso. Se reunirán contra mí y me atacarán, y seré destruido, yo y mi casa”.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

31 Dijeron: “¿Debe tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?”

But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
