¹وخرجت دينة ابنة ليئة التي ولدتها ليعقوب لتنظر بنات الارض.

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

²فرآها شكيم ابن حمور الحوّي رئيس الارض واخذها واضطجع معها واذلّها.

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

³وتعلقت نفسه بدينة ابنة يعقوب واحب الفتاة ولاطف الفتاة.

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

⁴فكلم شكيم حمور اباه قائلا خذ لي هذه الصبية زوجة.

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

⁵وسمع يعقوب انه نجّس دينة ابنته. واما بنوه فكانوا مع مواشيه في الحقل. فسكت يعقوب حتى جاءوا

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.

⁶فخرج حمور ابو شكيم الى يعقوب ليتكلم معه.

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

⁷واتى بنو يعقوب من الحقل حين سمعوا. وغضب الرجال واغتاظوا جدا لانه صنع قباحة في اسرائيل بمضاجعة ابنة يعقوب. وهكذا لا يصنع.

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.

⁸وتكلم حمور معهم قائلا شكيم ابني قد تعلّقت نفسه بابنتكم. اعطوه اياها زوجة.

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,

⁹وصاهرونا. تعطوننا بناتكم وتأخذون لكم بناتنا.

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

¹⁰وتسكنون معنا وتكون الارض قدامكم. اسكنوا واتجروا فيها وتملّكوا بها.

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

¹¹ثم قال شكيم لابيها ولاخوتها دعوني اجد نعمة في اعينكم. فالذي تقولون لي اعطي.

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;

¹²كثّروا عليّ جدا مهّرا وعطية. فاعطي كما تقولون لي. واعطوني الفتاة زوجة

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.`

¹³فاجاب بنو يعقوب شكيم وحمور اباه بمكر وتكلموا. لانه كان قد نجّس دينة اختهم.

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

¹⁴فقالوا لهما لا نستطيع ان نفعل هذا الامر ان نعطي اختنا لرجل اغلف. لانه عار لنا.

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.

¹⁵غير اننا بهذا نواتيكم. ان صرتم مثلنا بختنكم كل ذكر

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

¹⁶نعطيكم بناتنا ونأخذ لنا بناتكم ونسكن معكم ونصير شعبا واحدا.

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;

¹⁷وان لم تسمعوا لنا ان تختتنوا نأخذ ابنتنا ونمضي

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

¹⁸فحسن كلامهم في عيني حمور وفي عيني شكيم بن حمور.

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

¹⁹ولم يتأخر الغلام ان يفعل الامر. لانه كان مسرورا بابنة يعقوب. وكان اكرم جميع بيت ابيه.

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.

²⁰فاتى حمور وشكيم ابنه الى باب مدينتهما وكلما اهل مدينتهما قائلين.

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

²¹هؤلاء القوم مسالمون لنا. فليسكنوا في الارض ويتجروا فيها. وهوذا الارض واسعة الطرفين امامهم. نأخذ لنا بناتهم زوجات ونعطيهم بناتنا.

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.

²²غير انه بهذا فقط يواتينا القوم على السكن معنا لنصير شعبا واحدا. بختننا كل ذكر كما هم مختونون.

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;

²³ألا تكون مواشيهم ومقتناهم وكل بهائمهم لنا. نواتيهم فقط فيسكنون معنا.

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

²⁴فسمع لحمور وشكيم ابنه جميع الخارجين من باب المدينة. واختتن كل ذكر. كل الخارجين من باب المدينة

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.

²⁵فحدث في اليوم الثالث اذ كانوا متوجعين ان ابني يعقوب شمعون ولاوي اخوي دينة اخذا كل واحد سيفه وأتيا على المدينة بامن وقتلا كل ذكر.

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;

²⁶وقتلا حمور وشكيم ابنه بحد السيف. واخذا دينة من بيت شكيم وخرجا.

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.

²⁷ثم اتى بنو يعقوب على القتلى ونهبوا المدينة. لانهم نجّسوا اختهم.

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

²⁸غنمهم وبقرهم وحميرهم وكل ما في المدينة وما في الحقل اخذوه.

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;

²⁹وسبوا ونهبوا كل ثروتهم وكل اطفالهم ونساءهم وكل ما في البيوت

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.

³⁰فقال يعقوب لشمعون ولاوي كدّرتماني بتكريهكما اياي عند سكّان الارض الكنعانيين والفرزّيين وانا نفر قليل. فيجتمعون عليّ ويضربونني فأبيد انا وبيتي.

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.`

³¹فقالا أنظير زانية يفعل باختنا

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