< Genesis 34 >

1 At lumabas si Dina na anak ni Lea, na ipinanganak nito kay Jacob, upang tingnan ang mga anak na babae ng lupaing yaon.
And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
2 At siya'y nakita ni Sichem, anak ni Hamor, na Heveo, na prinsipe sa lupain; at siya'y kinuha at sumiping sa kaniya, at siya'y pinangayupapa.
And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 At inilakip niya ang kaniyang kaluluwa kay Dina, na anak ni Jacob at kaniyang sininta ang dalaga, at nakiusap ng kalugodlugod sa dalaga.
And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.
4 At si Sichem ay nagsalita sa kaniyang amang kay Hamor, na sinabi, Ipakamit mo sa akin ang dalagang ito na maging asawa ko.
Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
5 Nabalitaan nga ni Jacob na dinahas ang kaniyang anak na si Dina; at ang kaniyang mga anak ay nasa kasamahan ng mga hayop niya sa parang: at tumahimik si Jacob hanggang sa sila'y dumating.
And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.
6 At nilabas ni Hamor na ama ni Sichem si Jacob upang makiusap sa kaniya.
And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
7 At ang mga anak ni Jacob ay nagsiuwi mula sa parang nang kanilang mabalitaan: at nangagdamdam ang mga lalake, at nagningas ang kanilang galit, sapagka't gumawa ng kaululan sa Israel, na sinipingan ang anak ni Jacob; bagay na di nararapat gawin.
And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.
8 At nakiusap si Hamor sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ang kaluluwa ni Sichem na aking anak ay sumasa iyong anak; ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na ipagkaloob ninyo sa kaniya na maging asawa niya.
And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,
9 At magsipagasawa kayo sa amin; ibigay ninyo sa amin ang inyong mga anak na babae, at ibibigay namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae.
and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
10 At tatahan kayong kasama namin; at ang lupain ay sasa harap ninyo; tumahan kayo at mangalakal kayo riyan at magkaroon kayo ng mga pag-aari riyan.
And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.
11 At sinabi ni Sichem sa ama ni Dina, at sa mga kapatid niya, Makasundo nawa ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata at ang sabihin ninyo sa akin ay aking ibibigay.
And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you shall name.
12 Hingin ninyo sa akin ang walang bilang na bigay-kaya at kaloob, at aking ibibigay ayon sa sabihin ninyo sa akin; ipagkaloob lamang ninyo sa akin ang dalaga na maging asawa ko.
Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as you shall say to me, only you shall give me this damsel for a wife.
13 At nagsisagot na may pagdaraya ang mga anak ni Jacob kay Sichem at kay Hamor na kaniyang ama, at sila'y nagsalitaan, sapagka't kaniyang dinahas si Dina na kanilang kapatid.
And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.
14 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi namin magagawa ito, na ibigay ang aming kapatid sa isang hindi tuli; sapagka't isang kasiraan ng puri namin.
And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.
15 Sa ganitong paraan lamang papayag kami sa inyo: kung kayo'y magiging gaya namin, na mangatuli ang lahat ng lalake sa inyo;
Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if you also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
16 Ay ibibigay nga namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae, at makikisama kami sa inyong mga anak na babae, at tatahan kami sa inyo, at tayo'y magiging isa lamang bayan.
And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.
17 Datapuwa't kung ayaw ninyo kaming pakinggan, na kayo'y mangatuli; ay dadalhin nga namin ang aming anak na babae at kami ay yayaon.
But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
18 At ang kanilang mga salita ay kinalugdan ni Hamor at ni Sichem, na anak ni Hamor.
And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
19 At hindi iniliban ng binata ang paggawa niyaon, sapagka't nalugod siya sa anak na babae ni Jacob: at siya ang pinarangalang higit sa buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama.
And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honorable of all in his father's house.
20 At si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak ay napasa pintuang-bayan ng kanilang bayan, at sila'y nakiusap sa mga tao sa kanilang bayan, na sinasabi.
And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 Ang mga taong ito ay tahimik sa atin; kaya't magsitahan sila sa lupain at magsipangalakal sila riyan; sapagka't narito, ang lupain, ay may malabis na kaluwangan sa kanila; tayo'y makisama sa kanilang mga anak na babae, at ating ibigay sa kanila ang ating mga anak.
These men are peaceful, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.
22 Sa ganito lamang paraan papayagan tayo ng mga taong iyan, sa pagtahan sa atin, na maging isa lamang bayan, kung patuli ang lahat ng lalake sa atin, na gaya naman nila na mga tuli.
Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.
23 Di ba magiging atin ang kanilang mga baka at ang kanilang mga pag-aari at ang lahat nilang hayop? Atin lamang silang payagan, at tatahan sa atin.
And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.
24 At pinakinggan si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, ng lahat na lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan; at ang lahat ng lalake ay nagtuli, ang lahat ng lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan.
And all that went in at the gate of their city listened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
25 At nangyari, nang ikatlong araw, nang sila'y nangasasaktan, na ang dalawa sa mga anak ni Jacob, si Simeon at si Levi, na mga kapatid ni Dina, na kumuha ang bawa't isa ng kaniyang tabak, at sila'y lihim na pumasok sa bayan, at kanilang pinatay ang lahat ng mga lalake.
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and killed every male.
26 At kanilang pinatay si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, sa talim ng tabak, at kanilang kinuha si Dina sa bahay ni Sichem, at sila'y nagsialis.
And they killed Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
27 Nagsiparoon ang mga anak ni Jacob sa mga patay, at kanilang sinamsaman ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang dinahas ang kapatid nila.
But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
28 Kinuha nila ang kanilang mga kawan at ang kanilang mga bakahan, at ang kanilang mga asno, at ang nasa bayan, at ang nasa parang;
And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatever were in the city, and whatever were in the plain.
29 At ang kanilang buong yaman, at ang lahat ng kanilang mga anak, at mga asawa, ay dinala nilang bihag at samsam, sa makatuwid baga'y lahat na nasa bahay.
And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.
30 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Simeon at kay Levi, Ako'y inyong binagabag, na pinapaging mapagtanim ninyo ako sa mga tumatahan sa lupain, sa mga Cananeo, at sa mga Pherezeo; at akong may kaunting tao, ay magpipisan sila laban sa akin, at ako'y sasaktan nila; at lilipulin ako at ang aking sangbahayan.
And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
31 At kanilang sinabi, Aariin ba niya ang aming kapatid na parang isang patutot?
And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
