Mwanzo 34
1 Basi Dina, binti wa Yakobo aliyezaliwa na Lea, akatoka nje kuwatembelea wanawake wa nchi ile.
Dina the doughter of Lea which she bare vnto Iacob went out to see the doughters of the lande.
2 Ikawa Shekemu mwana wa Hamori Mhivi, mtawala wa eneo lile alipomwona, akamchukua na kumnajisi.
And Siche the sonne of Hemor the Heuite lorde of the countre sawe her and toke her and laye with her and forced her:
3 Moyo wake ukavutwa sana kwa Dina binti Yakobo, akampenda huyu msichana na akazungumza naye kwa kumbembeleza.
and his harte laye vnto Dina ye doughter of Iacob. And he loued yt damsell and spake kidly vnto her
4 Shekemu akamwambia baba yake Hamori, “Nipatie msichana huyu awe mke wangu.”
and spake vnto his father Hemor saynge gett me this mayde vnto my wyfe.
5 Yakobo aliposikia kwamba binti yake Dina amenajisiwa, wanawe walikuwa mashambani wakichunga mifugo yake, kwa hiyo akalinyamazia jambo hilo mpaka waliporudi nyumbani.
And Iacob herde that he had defyled Dina his doughter but his sonnes were with the catell in the felde and therfore he helde his peace vntill they were come.
6 Kisha Hamori baba yake Shekemu akaenda kuzungumza na Yakobo.
Then Hemor the father of Sichem went out vnto Iacob to come with him.
7 Basi wana wa Yakobo walikuwa wamerudi kutoka mashambani mara tu waliposikia kilichotokea. Walikuwa wamejawa na huzuni na ghadhabu, kwa sababu Shekemu alikuwa amefanya jambo la aibu katika Israeli kwa kukutana kimwili na binti wa Yakobo, kitu ambacho hakingepasa kufanyika.
And the sonnes of Iacob came out of the felde as soone as they herde it for it greued them and they were not a litle wrooth because he had wrought folie in Israell in that he had lyen with Iacobs doughter which thinge oughte not to be done.
8 Lakini Hamori akawaambia, “Moyo wa mwanangu Shekemu umeelekea kwa binti yenu. Tafadhali mpeni awe mke wake.
And Hemor comened with the sainge? the soule of my sonne Siche logeth for youre doughter geue her him to wyfe
9 Oaneni na sisi, tupeni binti zenu, nanyi mchukue binti zetu.
and make mariages with vs: geue youre doughters vnto vs ad take oure doughters vnto you
10 Mwaweza kuishi katikati yetu, nchi ni wazi kwenu. Ishini ndani yake, fanyeni biashara humu na mjipatie mali.”
and dwell with vs and the lande shall be at youre pleasure dwell and do youre busynes and haue youre possessions there in.
11 Kisha Shekemu akamwambia baba yake Dina pamoja na ndugu zake, “Na nipate kibali machoni penu, nami nitawapa chochote mtakachosema.
And Sichem sayde vnto hyr father and hir brethern: let me fynde grace in youre eyes and what soeuer ye apoynte me that will I geue.
12 Niambieni kiasi cha mahari na zawadi nitakayoileta, hata iwe kubwa kiasi gani, nami nitawalipa chochote mtakachodai. Nipeni tu huyu msichana awe mke wangu.”
Axe frely of me both the dowry and gyftes and I will geue acordynge as ye saye vnto me and geue me the damsell to wyfe.
13 Kwa sababu ndugu yao Dina alikuwa amenajisiwa, wana wa Yakobo wakajibu kwa udanganyifu walipozungumza na Shekemu pamoja na baba yake Hamori.
Then the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem ad Hemor his father deceytefully because he had defyled Dina their syster.
14 Wakawaambia, “Hatuwezi kufanya jambo kama hili, hatuwezi kumtoa dada yetu kwa mtu ambaye hakutahiriwa. Hiyo itakuwa aibu kwetu.
And they sayde vnto them we can not do this thinge yt we shulde geue oure syster to one that is vncircumcysed for that were a shame vnto us.
15 Tutakuruhusu kwa sharti moja tu, kwamba mtakuwa kama sisi kwa kuwatahiri wanaume wenu wote.
Only in this will we consent vnto you? Yf ye will be as we be that all the men childern amonge you be circumcysed
16 Kisha tutawapa binti zetu na sisi tutawachukua binti zenu. Tutaishi kwenu na tutakuwa watu wamoja nanyi.
tha will we geue oure doughter to you and take youres to vs and will dwell with you and be one people.
17 Lakini mkikataa kutahiriwa, tutamchukua ndugu yetu na kuondoka.”
But and yf ye will not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed than will we take oure doughter and goo oure wayes.
18 Pendekezo lao likawa jema kwa Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe.
And their wordes pleased Hemor and Sichem his sonne.
19 Kijana mdogo, ambaye alikuwa ameheshimiwa kati ya wote walioishi nyumbani mwa baba yake, hakupoteza muda kufanya waliyoyasema, kwa sababu alikuwa amependezwa sana na binti Yakobo.
And the yonge man deferde not for to do the thinge because he had a lust to Iacobs doughter: he was also most sett by of all that were in his fathers house.
20 Kwa hiyo Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe walikwenda kwenye lango la mji kuzungumza na wenzao wa mjini.
Tha Hemor and Sichem went vnto the gate of their cyte and comened with the men of their cyte sayncte.
21 Wakasema, “Hawa watu ni marafiki kwetu, tuwaruhusu waishi katika nchi yetu na kufanya biashara ndani yake, nchi ina nafasi tele kwa ajili yao. Tunaweza kuoa binti zao. Nao wanaweza kuoa binti zetu.
These men ar peasable with us and will dwell in the lade and do their occupatio therin And in the land is rowme ynough for the let us take their doughters to wyues and geue them oures:
22 Lakini watu hao watakuwa tayari kukubali kuishi nasi kama watu wamoja nao kwa sharti kwamba wanaume wetu watahiriwe, kama wao.
only herin will they consent vnto vs for to dwell with vs and to be one people: yf all the men childern that are amonge vs be circumcysed as they are.
23 Je, si mifugo yao, mali zao na wanyama wao wengine wote watakuwa wetu? Basi na tuwape kibali, nao wataishi miongoni mwetu.”
Their goodes and their substance and all their catell are oures only let vs consente vnto them that they maye dwell with vs.
24 Wanaume wote waliotoka nje ya lango la mji walikubaliana na Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe na kila mwanaume katika mji ule akatahiriwa.
And vnto Hemor and Sichem his sonneharkened all that went out at the gate of his cyte. And all the men childern were circumcysed what soeuer went out at the gates of his cyte.
25 Baada ya siku tatu, wakati wote wakiwa wangali katika maumivu, wana wawili wa Yakobo, yaani Simeoni na Lawi, ndugu zake Dina, wakachukua panga zao na kuvamia mji ambao haukutazamia vita, wakaua kila mwanaume.
And the third daye when it was paynefull to them ij. of the sonnes of Iacob Simeon and Leui Dinas brethren toke ether of them his swerde and went in to the cyte boldly and slewe all yt was male
26 Wakawaua Hamori na Shekemu mwanawe kwa upanga kisha wakamchukua Dina kutoka nyumba ya Shekemu na kuondoka.
and slewe also Hemor and Sichem his sonne with the edge of the swerde ad toke Dina their sister out of Sichems house and went their waye.
27 Wana wa Yakobo walipita juu ya maiti katika kuteka nyara mji ule ambamo dada yao alikuwa amenajisiwa.
Than came the sonnes of Iacob vpon the deede and spoyled the cyte because they had defyled their sister:
28 Wakachukua kondoo na mbuzi, ngʼombe, punda na kila kitu kilichokuwa chao ndani ya mji ule na mashambani.
and toke their shepe oxen asses and what so euer was in the cyte and also in ye feldes
29 Walichukua utajiri wao wote pamoja na wanawake na watoto wao, wakachukua nyara kila kitu ndani ya nyumba zao.
And all their goodes all their childern and their wyues toke they captyue and made havock of all that was in the houses.
30 Kisha Yakobo akawaambia Simeoni na Lawi, “Mmeleta taabu kwangu kwa kunifanya ninuke kama uvundo kwa Wakanaani na Waperizi, watu waishio katika nchi hii. Sisi ni wachache, kama wakiunganisha nguvu zao dhidi yangu na kunishambulia, mimi na nyumba yangu tutaangamizwa.”
And Iacob sayde to Simeon and Leui: ye haue troubled me ad made me styncke vnto the inhabitatours of the lande both to the Canaanytes and also vnto the Pherezites. And I am fewe in nombre. Wherfore they shall gather them selves together agaynst me and sley me and so shall I and my house be dystroyed.
31 Lakini wakamjibu, “Je, ilikuwa vyema kumtendea dada yetu kama kahaba?”
And they answered: shuld they deall with oure sister as wyth an whoore?
