Mwanzo 34
1 Basi Dina, Binti wa Lea aliyemzalia Yakobo, akaenda kuwaona wasichana wa nchi.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had born unto Jacob, went out to look about among the daughters of the land.
2 Shekemu mwana wa Hamori Mhivi, mwana mfalme wa nchi, akamwona na akamkamata kwa nguvu na kulala naye.
And Shechem the son of Chamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and did her violence.
3 Akavutiwa na Dina, binti Yakobo. Akampenda msichana na kuongea naye kwa upole.
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke kindly unto the maiden.
4 Shekemu akamwambia Hamori baba yeke, kusema, “Nipe msichana huyu kuwa mke wangu.”
And Shechem spoke unto Chamor his father, saying, Get me this girl for wife.
5 Basi Yakobo akasikia kwamba alikuwa amemchafua Dina binti yake. Wanawe walikuwa pamoja na wanyama uwandani, hivyo Yakaobo akawangoja hata walipokuja.
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 Hamori baba wa Shekemu akaenda kuongea na Yakobo.
And Chamor the father of Shechem went out unto to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Wana wa Yakobo waliposikia neno hili wakaja kutoka uwandani. Watu hawa walichukizwa sana. Walikasirika sana kwa sababu alikuwa amemwaibisha Israeli kwa kumlazimisha binti wa Yakobo, kwa maana jambo kama hilo halikupasa kutendeka.
And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it, and the men were grieved, and it excited their anger greatly; because he had wrought a disgraceful thing in Israel to lie with the daughter of Jacob, and this ought not to be done.
8 Hamori akaongea nao, akisema, “Shekemu mwanangu anampenda binti yenu. Tafadhari mpeni kuwa mke wake.
And Chamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of Shechem my son longeth for your daughter; give her, I pray you, unto him for wife.
9 Mwoane nasi, tupeni binti zenu, na mjichukulie binti zetu kwa ajili yenu wenyewe.
And intermarry with us; your daughters ye shall give unto us, and our daughters ye may take unto yourselves.
10 Mtaishi nasi, na nchi itakuwa wazi kwa ajili yenu kufanya biashara humo, na kupata mali.”
And with us shall ye dwell; and the land shall be open before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and acquire possessions therein.
11 Shekemu akamwambia baba yake na ndugu zake, “Na nione kibari machoni penu, na chochote mtakachoniambia nitatoa.
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brother, Let me but find grace in your eyes, and whatever ye may say unto me, I will give.
12 Niambieni kiasi kikubwa chochote cha mahari na zawadi kama mtakavyo, nami nitatoa chochote msemacho, lakini mnipe msichana kuwa mke wangu.”
Ask of me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me; but give me the maiden for wife.
13 Wana wa Yakobo wakamjibu Shekemu na Hamori baba yake kwa hila, kwa sababu Shekemu alikuwa amemnajisi Dina dada yao.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Chamor his father with cunning, and spoke; because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14 Wakawambia, “Hatuwezi kufanya jambo hili, kumpa dada yetu mtu yeyote ambaye hajatailiwa; kwani hiyo ni aibu kwetu.
And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach unto us.
15 Kwa sharti hili peke yake tutakubaliana nanyi: iwapo mtatailiwa kama sisi, ikiwa kila mtu mme miongoni mwenu atatailiwa.
But on this condition will we consent unto you; if ye will become as we are, that every male of you be circumcised:
16 Ndipo tutakapowapa binti zetu, nasi tutachukua binti zenu kwetu sisi wenyewe, na tutaishi nanyi na kuwa wamoja.
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters unto us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 Lakini kama hamtusikilizi na kutailiwa, ndipo tutakapomchukua dada yetu na kuondoka.
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and go our way.
18 Maneno yao yakawafurahisha Hamori na Shekemu mwanaye.
And their words were pleasing in the eyes of Chamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Chamor.
19 Kijana hakukawia kufanya walichokisema, kwa maana alipendezwa na binti Yakobo, na kwa sababu alikuwa mtu aliyeheshimiwa sana katika nyumba ya babaye.
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter; and he was the most honored of all the house of his father.
20 Hamori na Shekemu mwanaye wakaenda katika lango la mji wao na kuongea na watu wa mji, kusema,
And Chamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
21 “Watu hawa wanaamani nasi, hivyo na waishi katika nchi na kufanya biashara humo kwa maana, kweli, nchi ni kubwa ya kuwatosha. Haya na tuwachukue binti zao kuwa wake, nasi tuwape binti zetu.
These men are peaceably inclined with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; and the land, behold, it is large enough on all sides before them; their daughters we will take unto us for wives, and our daughters we will give unto them.
22 Kwa shariti hili pekee watu hawa wanakubali kuishi nasi na kuwa wamoja: ikiwa kila mwanamme miongoni mwetu atatailiwa, kama wao.
Only with this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Je wanyama wao na vitu vyao - wanyama wao wote kuwa wetu? Haya na tukubaliane nao, nao wataishi kati yetu.”
Their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs will they not be ours? only let us consent unto them, that they may dwell with us.
24 Watu wote wa mji wakamsikiliza Hamori na Shekemu, mwanaye. Kila mwanamme akatailiwa.
And unto Chamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and all the males were circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25 Katika siku ya tatu, walipokuwa katika maumivu bado, wawili wa wana wa Yakobo (Simoni na Lawi, kaka zake Dina), wakachukua kila mmoja upanga wake na kuushambulia mji ambao ulikuwa na uhakika wa ulinzi wake, nao wakauwa wanamme wote.
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took each his sword, and came upon the city unresisted and slew all the males.
26 Wakamwua Hamori na Shekemu kwa makali ya upanga. Wakamchukua Dina kutoka nyumba ya Shekemu na kuondoka.
And they slew Chamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword; and they took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27 Wale wana wengine wa Yakobo wakaja kwa maiti na kuuteka nyara mji, kwa sababu watu wale walikuwa wamemnajisi dada yao.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Wakachukua makundi yao ya kondoo, mbuzi, punda, na kila kitu ndani ya mji na viunga vyake
They took their sheep and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field.
29 utajiri wote. Watoto na wake zao wote, wakawachukua. Hata wakachukua kila kitu kilichokua katika nyumba.
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled; and all that was in the house.
30 Yakobo akawambia Simoni na Lawi, “Mmeleta shida juu yangu, kunifanya ninuke kwa wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani na Waperizi. Mimi nina watu wachache. Ikiwa watajikusanya pamoja kinyume changu na kunishambulia.”
And Jacob said unto Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to cause me to be hated among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and as I am but few in number, they may gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I would be destroyed, I and my house.
31 Lakini Simoni na Lawi wakasema, “Je Shekemu alipaswa kumtendea dada yetu kama kahaba?”
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
