Senesi 34

1 Pea ko Taina ko e taʻahine ʻa Lia, ʻaia naʻa ne fanauʻi kia Sēkope, naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau fefine ʻoe fonua.

Dina the doughter of Lea which she bare vnto Iacob went out to see the doughters of the lande.

2 Pea ʻi he mamata kiate ia ʻa Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tangata Hevi, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne puke ia ʻo na mohe, ʻo ne fakahalaʻi ia.

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 Pea pikitai hono laumālie kia Taina ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope, pea ʻofa ia ki he taʻahine, ʻo ne lea lelei ki he taʻahine.

and his harte laye vnto Dina ye doughter of Iacob. And he loued yt damsell and spake kidly vnto her

4 Pea lea ʻa Sikemi ki heʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke maʻu mai ʻae taʻahine ni ke ma mali.”

and spake vnto his father Hemor saynge gett me this mayde vnto my wyfe.

5 Pea fanongo ʻa Sēkope kuo ne fakahalaʻi hono ʻofefine ko Taina; ka naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene fanga manu: pea longo pe ʻa Sēkope kaeʻoua ke nau haʻu.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi kia Sēkope, ke na alea mo ia.

Then Hemor the father of Sichem went out vnto Iacob to come with him.

7 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope, naʻa nau haʻu mei he ngoue; pea mamahi ʻae kau tangata ʻo nau ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai meʻa kovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mohe mo e ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fai.

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 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Hemoa ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku foha ko Sikemi ki ho ʻofefine: ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, foaki mai ia kiate ia, ke na mali.

And Hemor comened with the sainge? the soule of my sonne Siche logeth for youre doughter geue her him to wyfe

9 Pea mou fai mali mo kimautolu, pea foaki mai homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea mou maʻu homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu.

and make mariages with vs: geue youre doughters vnto vs ad take oure doughters vnto you

10 Pea ke tau nonofo; pea ʻoku ʻi homou ʻao ʻae fonua: mou nofo ki ai, mo fai hoʻomou fakatau, pea mou maʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻapi moʻomoutolu.”

and dwell with vs and the lande shall be at youre pleasure dwell and do youre busynes and haue youre possessions there in.

11 Pea pehē ʻe Sikemi ki he tamai [ʻae fefine ]mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻane, “ʻOfa ke u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, pea ko ia ʻoku mou tala te u foaki.

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 Tala mai ʻae totongi lahi, pe ko e foaki, pea te u ʻatu ʻo hangē ko ia te mou tala kiate au, kae kehe ke foaki mai ʻae fefine ke ma mali.”

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 Pea naʻe lea fakakākā ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope kia Sikemi, mo ʻene tamai ko Hemoa, ʻo nau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻa Taina, ko honau tuofefine:

Then the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem ad Hemor his father deceytefully because he had defyled Dina their syster.

14 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ʻae meʻa ni, ke foaki homau tuofefine ki ha tokotaha ʻoku taʻekamu; he ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimautolu.

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 Ka ʻi he meʻa ni te mau loto kiate kimoutolu: ʻo kapau te mou hoko ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.

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 Pea te mau toki foaki homau ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimoutolu, pea te mau maʻu homou ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kimautolu, pea te tau nonofo, pea te tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha.

tha will we geue oure doughter to you and take youres to vs and will dwell with you and be one people.

17 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate kimautolu ke mou kamu: pea te mau toʻo homau ʻofefine, ka mau ʻalu.”

But and yf ye will not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed than will we take oure doughter and goo oure wayes.

18 Pea naʻe leleiʻia ʻa Hemoa, mo Sikemi ko e foha ʻo Hemoa, ʻi heʻenau lea.

And their wordes pleased Hemor and Sichem his sonne.

19 Pea naʻe ʻikai fakatuai ʻae talavou ke fai ʻae meʻa ko ia, koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻofefine ʻo Sēkope; pea naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ia ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ki he matapā ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo nau alea mo e kau tangata ʻo ʻenau kolo, ʻo pehē,

Tha Hemor and Sichem went vnto the gate of their cyte and comened with the men of their cyte sayncte.

21 “ʻOku nofo fiemālie pe ʻae kau tangata ni mo kitautolu; ko ia tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua mo fai ʻenau fakatau ʻi ai: he vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae fonua kiate kinautolu; ke tau maʻu honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke mali, pea tau foaki kiate kinautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofefine.

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 Ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻe loto ai ʻae kau tangata kiate kitautolu, ke nofo mo kitautolu, ke tau hoko ko e kakai pe taha, ʻo kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku nau kamu.

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 ‌ʻIkai ʻe hoko ai ʻenau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa, ko e tau ngaahi meʻa? Kae kehe ke tau loto kiate kinautolu, pea te nau nofo mo kitautolu.

Their goodes and their substance and all their catell are oures only let vs consente vnto them that they maye dwell with vs.

24 Pea naʻe tokanga kia Hemoa mo Sikemi ko hono foha, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo; pea kamu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hū kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻena kolo.”

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 Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono ʻaho tolu, kuo nau mamahi, pea naʻe taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā ʻe he ongo foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sēkope, ko Simione mo Livai, ko e ongo tuongaʻane ʻo Taina, ʻo na hū mālohi ki he kolo, ʻo tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē.

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 Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻa Hemoa mo hono foha ko Sikemi ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea na toʻo mai ʻa Taina mei he fale ʻo Sikemi, pea nau ō ai.

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 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope ki he kakai mate ʻo nau maumauʻi ʻae kolo, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakahalaʻi honau tuofefine.

Than came the sonnes of Iacob vpon the deede and spoyled the cyte because they had defyled their sister:

28 Ne nau ʻave ʻenau fanga sipi mo e nau fanga pulu, mo e nau fanga ʻasi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kolo, mo e meʻa ʻi he ngoue,

and toke their shepe oxen asses and what so euer was in the cyte and also in ye feldes

29 Mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē, mo nau ʻave fakapōpula ʻenau fānau iiki, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi fale.

And all their goodes all their childern and their wyues toke they captyue and made havock of all that was in the houses.

30 Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Simione mo Livai, “Kuo mo fakamamahiʻi au, ke fakanamukūʻi au, ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ko e kakai Kēnani mo e kakai Pelesi: ʻoku ou tokosiʻi au, pea te nau fakataha kotoa pē, ke tāmateʻi au, pea te u ʻauha, ko au, mo hoku fale.”

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 Pea naʻa na pehēange kiate ia, “He naʻe lelei ʻa ʻene fai ki homa tuofefine ʻo hangē ko ha muitau?”

And they answered: shuld they deall with oure sister as wyth an whoore?
