Génesis 34
1 Y salió Dina la hija de Lia, que había parido a Jacob, por ver 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 Y vióla Siquem, hijo de Jamor Heveo, príncipe de aquella tierra, y tomóla, y echóse con ella; y afligióla.
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 Y apegóse su alma con Dina, la hija de Jacob, y enamoróse de la moza, y habló al corazón de la moza.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
4 Y habló Siquem a Jamor su padre, diciendo: Tómame esta moza por mujer.
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
5 Y oyó Jacob, que había ensuciado a Dina su hija, estando sus hijos con su ganado en el campo; y calló Jacob hasta que ellos viniesen.
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 Y salió Jamor, padre de Siquem, a Jacob, para hablar con él.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
7 Y los hijos de Jacob vinieron del campo en oyéndolo, y entristeciéronse los varones, y ensañáronse mucho, porque hizo vileza en Israel, echándose con la hija de Jacob, que no se debía de hacer así.
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 Y Jamor habló con ellos, diciendo: El alma de mi hijo Siquem se ha apegado con vuestra hija: ruégoos que se la deis por mujer:
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Y consagrád con nosotros: dádnos vuestras hijas, y tomád vosotros las nuestras.
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 Y habitád con nosotros: porque la tierra estará delante de vosotros: morád y negociád en ella, y tomád en ella posesión.
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 también dijo a su padre y a sus hermanos: Halle yo gracia en vuestros ojos: y yo daré lo que vosotros me dijereis.
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 Aumentád sobre mí mucho ajuar y dones, que yo daré cuanto me dijereis; y dádme la moza por mujer.
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 Y respondieron los hijos de Jacob a Siquem, y a Jamor, su padre, con engaño, y hablaron; porque había ensuciado 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 dijéronles: No podemos hacer esto, que demos nuestra hermana a hombre que tiene prepucio; porque a nosotros es abominación:
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 Mas con esta condición os haremos placer. Si fuereis como nosotros, que se circuncide en vosotros todo varón;
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 nosotros las vuestras; y habitaremos con vosotros, y seremos un 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 Y si no nos oyereis, para circuncidaros, tomaremos nuestra hija, e irnos hemos.
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Y parecieron bien sus palabras a Jamor, y a Siquem hijo de Jamor.
What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Y no dilató el mozo de hacer aquello, porque la hija de Jacob le había agradado: y él era el más honrado de 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 Entonces vino Jamor y Siquem su hijo a la puerta de su ciudad, y hablaron a los varones 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 varones son pacíficos con nosotros, y habitarán la tierra; y granjearán en ella, que, he aquí, la tierra es ancha de lugares delante de ellos, nosotros tomaremos sus hijas por mujeres, y darles hemos las nuestras.
“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 Mas con esta condición nos harán placer los varones, de habitar con nosotros, para que seamos un pueblo: Si se circuncidare en nosotros todo varón, como ellos son circuncidados.
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 Sus ganados y su hacienda, y todas sus bestias será nuestro: solamente que consintamos con ellos, y 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 Y obedecieron a Jamor, y a Siquem su hijo, todos los que salían por la puerta de la ciudad; y circuncidaron a todo varón, cuantos salían por la puerta de la 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 Y fue, que al tercero día cuando ellos estaban doloridos, los dos hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, tomaron cada uno su espada, y vinieron contra la ciudad animosamente, y mataron a todo varón.
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 Y a Jamor, y a Siquem su hijo, mataron a filo de espada; y tomaron a Dina de casa de Siquem, y saliéronse.
They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Y los hijos de Jacob vinieron a los muertos, y saquearon la ciudad: por cuanto habían ensuciado 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 Sus ovejas, y vacas, y sus asnos, y lo que había en la ciudad y en el campo, tomaron.
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 hacienda, y todos sus niños, y sus mujeres llevaron cautivas, y robaron; y todo lo que había en 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 Entonces dijo Jacob a Simeón y a Leví: Turbado me habéis, que me habéis hecho abominable con los moradores de aquesta tierra, el Cananeo y el Ferezeo, teniendo yo pocos hombres: y juntarse han contra mí, y herirme han, 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 Y ellos respondieron: ¿Había él de tratar a nuestra hermana como a una ramera?
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]
