¹And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on the daughters of the land,

¹¶ Na ka haere atu a Rina, tamahine a Rea, i whanau nei i a raua ko Hakopa, kia kite i nga tamahine o te whenua.

²and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth her;

²A ka kite a Hekeme, tama a Hamora Hiwi, rangatira o taua whenua, i a ia; a ka hopukia ia e ia, a ka takoto ki a ia, ka whakaiti hoki i a ia.

³and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.

³Na ka piri tona wairua ki a Rina, tamahine a Hakopa, a ka aroha ia ki te kotiro ra, ka whakamarie hoki i te ngakau o taua kotiro.

⁴And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, `Take for me this damsel for a wife.`

⁴Na ka korero a Hekeme ki a Hamora, ki tona papa, ka mea, Tikina te kotiro nei hei wahine maku.

⁵And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.

⁵Na i rongo a Hakopa kua pokea a Rina, tana tamahine, e ia; a i te parae ana tama, i ana kararehe: na ka whakarongo puku a Hakopa, kia tae mai ra ano ratou.

⁶And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;

⁶¶ Na ka haere a Hamora papa o Hekeme ki a Hakopa ki te korero ki a ia.

⁷and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob — and so it is not done.

⁷Na ka haere mai nga tama a Hakopa i te parae, i to ratou rongonga; a ka matangerengere aua tangata, ka tino riri hoki, mo tana mahi wairangi i roto i a Iharaira, i a ia i takoto ra ki te tamahine a Hakopa; he mahi hoki kihai i tika.

⁸And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, `Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for a wife,

⁸Na ka korero a Hamora ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko Hekeme, ko taku tama, piri tonu tona wairua ki ta koutou tamahine: homai ia ki a ia, ne? hei wahine.

⁹and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,

⁹A kia marenatia tatou ki a tatou; homai a koutou tamahine ki a matou, a me tango hoki a matou tamahine ma koutou.

¹⁰and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.`

¹⁰A me noho koutou ki a matou: a ka takoto atu te whenua i mua i a koutou: e noho i reira, ka hokohoko i reira, ka whakatupu rawa ma koutou i reira.

¹¹And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, `Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I give;

¹¹A ka mea a Hekeme ki tona papa ratou ko ona tungane, Kia manakohia mai ahau e koutou, a ko ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau ka hoatu e ahau.

¹²multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.`

¹²Ahakoa pehea te nui o te tapakuha me te hakari e meatia mai e koutou ki ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ta koutou e ki mai ai ki ahau: otira homai te kotiro hei wahine maku.

¹³And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their sister),

¹³Na ka whakahoki tinihanga nga tama a Hakopa ki a Hekeme raua ko Hamora, ko tona papa, i mea hoki ratou mo Rina, mo to ratou tuahine, i whakapokea e ia;

¹⁴and say unto them, `We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a reproach to us.

¹⁴Ka mea ratou ki a raua, E kore tenei mea e taea e matou te mea, te hoatu i to matou tuahine ki te tangata kahore i kotia; he tawainga hoki tena mo matou:

¹⁵`Only for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,

¹⁵Tenei ia te mea e whakaae ai matou ki a koutou: ki te peneitia koutou me matou, ki te kotia o koutou tane katoa;

¹⁶then we have given our daughters to you, and your daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;

¹⁶Katahi ka hoatu e matou a matou tamahine ki a koutou, ka tangohia mai hoki a koutou tamahine ma matou, a ka noho matou i roto i a koutou, a ka meinga tatou hei iwi kotahi.

¹⁷and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.`

¹⁷Ki te kahore ia koutou e rongo ki ta matou, kia kotia koutou; na ka tango matou i ta matou tamahine, ka haere.

¹⁸And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor`s son;

¹⁸¶ Na i pai a ratou kupu ki a Hamora, ki a Hekeme hoki, ki te tama a Hamora.

¹⁹and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob`s daughter, and he is honourable above all the house of his father.

¹⁹A kihai i whakaroa taua tamaiti ki te mea i taua mea, he matenui hoki nona ki te tamahine a Hakopa: he nui atu ano ia i nga tangata katoa o te whare o tona papa.

²⁰And Hamor cometh — Shechem his son also — unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,

²⁰Na ka haere a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, ki te kuwaha o to raua pa, a ka korero ki nga tangata o to raua pa, ka mea,

²¹`These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.

²¹He hunga ata noho tenei ki a tatou; no reira tukua ratou kia noho ki tenei whenua, kia hokohoko ki konei; na ko te whenua nei, nana, he nui noa atu mo ratou; me tango mai e tatou a ratou tamahine hei wahine ma tatou, ka hoatu hoki i a tatou tama hine ki a ratou.

²²`Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;

²²Kotahi ano ia te mea e whakaae mai ai aua tangata ki a tatou, kia noho ki a tatou, kia waiho hei iwi kotahi, ki te kotia o tatou tane katoa, ki te peratia me ratou kua kotia nei.

²³their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts — are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.`

²³Ko a ratou kararehe, ko a ratou taonga, me a ratou kirehe katoa, e kore ianei ena e riro mai i a tatou? erangi me whakaae atu tatou ki a ratou, a ka noho ratou ki a tatou.

²⁴And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.

²⁴A i whakarongo ki a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa; a i kotia katoatia nga tane, nga tangata katoa i haere atu i te kuwaha o tona pa.

²⁵And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah`s brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;

²⁵¶ A i te toru o nga ra, i a ratou e mamae ana, na ka tango nga tama tokorua a Hakopa, a Himiona raua ko Riwai, nga tungane o Rina, i tana hoari, i tana hoari, a haere ohorere ana ki te pa, a patua iho e raua nga tane katoa.

²⁶and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem`s house, and go out.

²⁶I patua ano hoki e raua a Hamora raua ko Hekeme, ko tana tama ki te mata o te hoari, a tangohia ana e raua a Rina i roto i te whare o Hekeme, a haere ana.

²⁷Jacob`s sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;

²⁷Na ka haere nga tama a Hakopa ki te hunga i patua, a pahuatia ana e ratou te pa, mo to ratou tuahine i whakapokea e ratou.

²⁸their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;

²⁸I tangohia e ratou a ratou hipi, a ratou kau, a ratou kaihe, me nga mea hoki i te pa, me nga mea ano hoki i te mara;

²⁹and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.

²⁹Me a ratou taonga katoa, a whakaraua ana a ratou tamariki katoa, me a ratou wahine, i pahuatia ano hoki nga mea katoa i roto i te whare.

³⁰And Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, `Ye have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.`

³⁰Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Himiona raua ko Riwai, Ka raru ahau i a korua, ka meinga kia piro i roto i nga tangata whenua, i roto i nga Kanaani ratou ko nga Perihi: a ka huihui mai ratou ki ahau, ki te hunga tokoiti, a ka patua ahau; a ka ngaro ahau, ahau me toku whare.

³¹And they say, `As a harlot doth he make our sister?`

³¹A ka mea raua, Kia peratia koia e ia to matou tuahine me te wahine kairau?
