< Genesis 34 >
1 Ngayon si Dina, na babaeng anak ni Lea kay Jacob ay lumabas para makilala ang mga dalaga ng lupain.
One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
2 Nakita siya ni Sechem, na anak ni Hamor na Hevita ang prinsipe ng lupain at hinila siya, nilapastangan at hinalay.
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 Naakit siya kay Dina, na anak ni Jacob. Minahal niya ang dalaga at magiliw na kinausap siya.
He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
4 Kinausap ni Sechem ang kanyang amang si Hamor, sinabing, “Kunin mo ang dalagang ito para sa akin upang maging asawa ko.”
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
5 Ngayon narinig ni Jacob na dinungisan niya si Dina na kanyang anak. Nasa bukid ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki kasama ng kanyang mga alagang hayop, kaya nanahimik si Jacob hanggang sa dumating sila.
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 Pumunta kay Jacob si Hamor na ama ni Sechem.
In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
7 Dumating ang mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob na galing sa bukid nang marinig nila ang nangyari. Nasaktan ang mga lalaki. Labis silang nagalit dahil pinahiya nila ang Israel sa pagpupumilit sa kanyang sarili sa anak na babae ni Jacob, dahil ang bagay na iyon ay hindi dapat ginawa.
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 Nakipag-usap si Hamor sa kanila at sinabing, “Iniibig ng aking anak na si Sechem ang iyong anak na babae. Pakiusap ibigay mo siya sa kanya bilang asawa.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
9 Makipag-asawa kayo sa amin, ibigay mo ang mga anak mong babae sa amin, at kunin ninyo ang mga anak naming babae para sa inyong sarili.
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 Maninirahan kayo sa amin, at magiging bukas ang lupain para sa inyo para manirahan at makipagkalakalan, at makakuha ng ari-arian.”
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 Sinabi ni Sechem sa kanyang ama at sa kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki, “Hayaan ninyong makasumpong ako ng pabor mula sa inyong mga mata, at anuman ang sabihin ninyo sa akin ay ibibigay ko.
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 Hingiin ninyo sa akin gaano man kalaki ang dote at ragalong naisin ninyo, at ibibigay ko ang anumang sabihin ninyo sa akin, ngunit ibigay ninyo ang dalaga bilang asawa.”
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 Sumagot ang mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob kay Sechem at kay Hamor na kanyang ama na may panlilinlang, sapagkat dinungisan ni Sechem si Dina na kanilang kapatid.
But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
14 Sinabi nila sa kanila, “Hindi namin magagawa ang bagay na ito, ang pagbibigay ng aming kapatid na babae sa sinumang hindi tuli; sapagkat iyan ay magiging kahihiyan sa amin.
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 Sa kondisyong ito lamang kami makikipagkasundo sa inyo: kung magpapatuli kayo kagaya namin, kung ang bawat lalaki sa inyo ay tutuliin.
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 Sa gayon ibibigay namin ang aming mga anak na babae sa inyo, at kukunin namin ang inyong mga anak na babae para sa aming sarili, at makipamuhay kami sa inyo at tayo ay magiging isang bayan.
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 Ngunit kung hindi kayo makikinig sa amin at magpatuli, sa gayon kukunin namin ang aming kapatid at aalis kami.”
But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
18 Kinalugdan ni Hamor at ng kanyang anak na si Sechem ang kanilang mga sinabi.
What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Hindi na nag-atubili ang binatang gawin kung ano ang sinabi nila, dahil siya ay nalugod sa anak na babae ni Jacob, at dahil siya ang pinakamarangal na tao sa buong sambahayan ng kanyang ama.
Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
20 Pumunta si Hamor at Sechem sa kanyang anak sa tarangkahan ng kanilang siyudad at nakipag-usap sa mga kalalakihan ng kanilang siyudad na sinasabing,
Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
21 “Ang mga taong ito ay namumuhay ng payapa kasama natin, kaya hayaan natin silang mamuhay sa lupain at mangalakal dito, dahil tunay na ang lupain ay malawak na sapat para sa kanila. Kunin natin ang mga anak nilang babae bilang mga asawa, at ibigay natin sa kanila ang ating mga anak na babae.
“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 Sa ganitong kondisyon lamang papayag ang mga kalalakihan na manirahan kasama natin at tayo'y maging isang bayan: kung tutuliin ang bawat lalaki sa atin, tulad ng sila ay tuli.
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 Hindi ba maaaring ang kanilang mga alagang hayop at ang kanilang ari-arian—lahat ng kanilang mga hayop ay magiging atin? Kaya makipagkasundo tayo sa kanila, at maninirahan sila kasama natin.”
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 Lahat ng mga lalaki ng lungsod ay nakinig kay Hamor at Sechem, na kanyang anak. Nagpatuli ang bawat lalaki.
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 Sa ikatlong araw, nang matindi ang sakit ng sugat nila, ang dalawa sa mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob, sina Simeon at Levi na mga kapatid ni Dina, ang kanilang espada at pumunta sa lungsod na walang bantay, at pinatay ang lahat ng mga kalalakihan.
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 Pinatay nila si Hamor at Sechem na kanyang anak, sa pamamagitan ng talim ng espada. Kinuha nila si Dina mula sa bahay ni Sechem at umalis.
They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
27 Ang ibang anak na lalaki ni Jacob ay pumunta sa mga patay na katawan at ninakawan nila ang siyudad, dahil nilapastangan ng mga tao ang kanilang kapatid na babae.
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 Kinuha nila ang kanilang mga kawan, mga pangkat ng hayop, mga asno at lahat ng bagay na nasa siyudad at nakapalibot na mga bukid kasama
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 ang lahat ng kanilang kayamanan. Hinuli nila ang lahat ng kanilang mga anak at mga asawa. Kinuha nila maging ang lahat ng bagay na nasa mga bahay.
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 Sinabi ni Jacob kay Simeon at Levi, “Nagdala kayo ng gulo sa akin upang bumaho ako sa mga naninirahan sa lupain, sa mga Cananeo at mga Perezeo. Kakaunti na lamang ang aking bilang. Kung iipunin nila ang kanilang mga sarili laban sa akin at lulusubin ako, malilipol ako, ako at ang aking sambahayan.
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 Ngunit sinabi ni Simeon at Levi, “Maari bang pakitunguhan ni Sechem ang aming kapatid na katulad ng babaeng bayaran?”
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]
