1وخرجت دينة ابنة ليئة التي ولدتها ليعقوب لتنظر بنات الارض.
1Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2فرآها شكيم ابن حمور الحوّي رئيس الارض واخذها واضطجع معها واذلّها.
2Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3وتعلقت نفسه بدينة ابنة يعقوب واحب الفتاة ولاطف الفتاة.
3His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4فكلم شكيم حمور اباه قائلا خذ لي هذه الصبية زوجة.
4Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5وسمع يعقوب انه نجّس دينة ابنته. واما بنوه فكانوا مع مواشيه في الحقل. فسكت يعقوب حتى جاءوا
5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6فخرج حمور ابو شكيم الى يعقوب ليتكلم معه.
6Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
7واتى بنو يعقوب من الحقل حين سمعوا. وغضب الرجال واغتاظوا جدا لانه صنع قباحة في اسرائيل بمضاجعة ابنة يعقوب. وهكذا لا يصنع.
7The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; a which thing ought not to be done.
8وتكلم حمور معهم قائلا شكيم ابني قد تعلّقت نفسه بابنتكم. اعطوه اياها زوجة.
8Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9وصاهرونا. تعطوننا بناتكم وتأخذون لكم بناتنا.
9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10وتسكنون معنا وتكون الارض قدامكم. اسكنوا واتجروا فيها وتملّكوا بها.
10You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11ثم قال شكيم لابيها ولاخوتها دعوني اجد نعمة في اعينكم. فالذي تقولون لي اعطي.
11Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12كثّروا عليّ جدا مهّرا وعطية. فاعطي كما تقولون لي. واعطوني الفتاة زوجة
12Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13فاجاب بنو يعقوب شكيم وحمور اباه بمكر وتكلموا. لانه كان قد نجّس دينة اختهم.
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14فقالوا لهما لا نستطيع ان نفعل هذا الامر ان نعطي اختنا لرجل اغلف. لانه عار لنا.
14and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15غير اننا بهذا نواتيكم. ان صرتم مثلنا بختنكم كل ذكر
15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16نعطيكم بناتنا ونأخذ لنا بناتكم ونسكن معكم ونصير شعبا واحدا.
16then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17وان لم تسمعوا لنا ان تختتنوا نأخذ ابنتنا ونمضي
17But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, Hebrew has, literally, “daughter” and we will be gone.”
18فحسن كلامهم في عيني حمور وفي عيني شكيم بن حمور.
18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19ولم يتأخر الغلام ان يفعل الامر. لانه كان مسرورا بابنة يعقوب. وكان اكرم جميع بيت ابيه.
19The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20فاتى حمور وشكيم ابنه الى باب مدينتهما وكلما اهل مدينتهما قائلين.
20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with 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 peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22غير انه بهذا فقط يواتينا القوم على السكن معنا لنصير شعبا واحدا. بختننا كل ذكر كما هم مختونون.
22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23ألا تكون مواشيهم ومقتناهم وكل بهائمهم لنا. نواتيهم فقط فيسكنون معنا.
23Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24فسمع لحمور وشكيم ابنه جميع الخارجين من باب المدينة. واختتن كل ذكر. كل الخارجين من باب المدينة
24All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went 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.
25It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26وقتلا حمور وشكيم ابنه بحد السيف. واخذا دينة من بيت شكيم وخرجا.
26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27ثم اتى بنو يعقوب على القتلى ونهبوا المدينة. لانهم نجّسوا اختهم.
27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28غنمهم وبقرهم وحميرهم وكل ما في المدينة وما في الحقل اخذوه.
28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29وسبوا ونهبوا كل ثروتهم وكل اطفالهم ونساءهم وكل ما في البيوت
29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30فقال يعقوب لشمعون ولاوي كدّرتماني بتكريهكما اياي عند سكّان الارض الكنعانيين والفرزّيين وانا نفر قليل. فيجتمعون عليّ ويضربونني فأبيد انا وبيتي.
30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31فقالا أنظير زانية يفعل باختنا
31They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
