Génesis 34
1 Dina, la hija de Lea, que dio a luz a Jacob, salió a ver a las hijas de la tierra.
One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
2 La vio Siquem, hijo de Hamor el heveo, príncipe de la tierra. La tomó, se acostó con ella y la humilló.
Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
3 Su alma se unió a Dina, la hija de Jacob, y amó a la joven, y le habló con cariño.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
4 Siquem habló con su padre, Hamor, diciendo: “Consígueme a esta joven como esposa”.
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become 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.
Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
6 Hamor, el padre de Siquem, salió a buscar a Jacob para hablar con él.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to 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.
While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should 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, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Hagan matrimonios con nosotros. Dennos sus hijas y tomen las nuestras para ustedes.
Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
10 Viviréis con nosotros, y la tierra estará ante vosotros. Vivan y comercien en ella, y obtengan posesiones en ella”.
You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”
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.
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
12 Pedidme una gran cantidad como dote, y os daré lo que me pidáis, pero dadme a la joven como esposa”.
Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be 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 because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
14 y les dijeron: “No podemos hacer esto, entregar a nuestra hermana a un incircunciso; porque eso es un reproche para nosotros.
by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
15 Sólo con esta condición os consentiremos. Si sois como nosotros, que todo varón de vosotros sea circuncidado,
We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
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 your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
17 Pero si no nos escucháis y os circuncidáis, entonces tomaremos a nuestra hermana, y nos iremos”.
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Sus palabras agradaron a Hamor y a Siquem, hijo de Hamor.
What they said pleased 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.
Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
20 Hamor y Siquem, su hijo, llegaron a la puerta de su ciudad, y hablaron con los hombres de su ciudad, diciendo:
Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
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.
“These men are friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry 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 agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.
23 ¿No será nuestro su ganado y sus posesiones y todos sus animales? Sólo démosles nuestro consentimiento, y ellos habitarán con nosotros”.
But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among 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.
Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.
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.
On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
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.
They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Los hijos de Jacob vinieron sobre los muertos y saquearon la ciudad, porque habían profanado a su hermana.
Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that 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 away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
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.
They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
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”.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
31 Dijeron: “¿Debe tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?”
But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
