¹Pada suatu hari, Dina anak perempuan Yakub dan Lea, mengunjungi beberapa wanita Kanaan.

¹And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

²Ketika Sikhem, anak Hemor orang Hewi yang menjadi raja di wilayah itu melihat Dina, dilarikannya gadis itu, lalu diperkosanya.

²And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; And he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.

³Tetapi ia sangat tertarik kepada Dina, sehingga jatuh cinta kepadanya dan berusaha supaya gadis itu mencintainya pula.

³And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

⁴Kata Sikhem kepada ayahnya, "Saya mohon Ayah berusaha mendapat gadis itu bagi saya. Saya ingin mengawininya."

⁴And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.

⁵Yakub mendengar bahwa anaknya telah dinodai kehormatannya, tetapi karena anak-anaknya sedang menjaga ternaknya di padang, ia tidak dapat mengambil tindakan apa pun sebelum mereka pulang.

⁵Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came.

⁶Hemor, ayah Sikhem, datang kepada Yakub hendak berunding dengan dia.

⁶And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.

⁷Tepat pada waktu itu anak-anak Yakub pulang dari padang. Mendengar peristiwa itu, mereka terkejut dan sangat marah. Sebab dengan memperkosa anak Yakub itu, Sikhem telah menghina semua orang Israel.

⁷And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.

⁸Kata Hemor kepada Yakub, "Anak saya Sikhem telah jatuh cinta kepada anak Saudara; saya mohon supaya Saudara mengizinkan anak saya kawin dengan dia.

⁸And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you, give her unto him to wife.

⁹Marilah kita membuat persetujuan bahwa bangsa Saudara dan bangsa kami kawin campur.

⁹And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.

¹⁰Maka Saudara-saudara boleh tinggal bersama kami di negeri ini; di mana Saudara suka. Saudara-saudara boleh bebas berdagang dan memiliki harta benda."

¹⁰And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

¹¹Kemudian Sikhem berkata kepada ayah Dina serta abang-abangnya, "Penuhilah permintaan saya ini, maka saya akan memberikan apa saja yang kalian mau.

¹¹And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.

¹²Katakanlah hadiah apa yang kalian inginkan, dan tentukanlah emas kawinnya. Saya akan memberikan apa yang kalian minta, asalkan kalian mengizinkan saya mengawini gadis itu."

¹²Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

¹³Karena Sikhem telah menodai kehormatan adik mereka Dina, anak-anak Yakub berbohong kepada Sikhem dan Hemor ayahnya.

¹³And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

¹⁴Kata mereka kepada kedua orang itu, "Kami malu mengizinkan adik kami kawin dengan orang yang tidak bersunat.

¹⁴and said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us.

¹⁵Kami hanya dapat menyetujui permintaanmu itu dengan satu syarat, yaitu: Kalian harus menjadi seperti kami, artinya semua laki-laki di antara kalian harus disunat.

¹⁵Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;

¹⁶Setelah itu kami akan menyetujui usulmu tentang kawin campur itu. Kami akan menetap di tengah-tengahmu dan menjadi satu bangsa denganmu.

¹⁶then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

¹⁷Tetapi jika kamu tidak mau menerima syarat-syarat kami, dan tidak mau disunat, kami akan mengambil kembali gadis itu dan pergi."

¹⁷But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

¹⁸Hemor dan Sikhem merasa syarat-syarat itu pantas,

¹⁸And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

¹⁹dan Sikhem bersedia segera memenuhi syarat itu karena ia mencintai Dina. Di antara seluruh kaum keluarganya, Sikhemlah yang paling berpengaruh.

¹⁹And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father.

²⁰Kemudian Hemor dan Sikhem pergi ke tempat pertemuan di pintu gerbang kota, dan berbicara kepada warga kota mereka, begini,

²⁰And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

²¹"Orang-orang Israel itu sahabat kita. Jadi biarkanlah mereka tinggal di negeri ini bersama kita serta bebas pergi ke mana mereka suka. Negeri ini cukup luas bagi mereka juga. Kita bisa kawin dengan gadis-gadis mereka, dan mereka pun bisa kawin dengan gadis-gadis kita.

²¹These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; 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.

²²Tetapi orang-orang itu hanya mau tinggal bersama kita dan menjadi satu bangsa dengan kita dengan satu syarat, yaitu: semua laki-laki di antara kita harus disunat seperti mereka.

²²Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.

²³Nanti semua kawanan binatang mereka dan segala harta mereka menjadi milik kita. Jadi marilah kita menyetujui permintaan mereka supaya mereka tinggal bersama dengan kita."

²³Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.

²⁴Semua warga kota yang berkumpul itu menyetujui usul Hemor dan Sikhem, lalu semua orang laki-laki dewasa di kota itu disunat.

²⁴And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

²⁵Tiga hari kemudian, ketika orang-orang lelaki itu masih kesakitan karena disunat, dua anak Yakub, yaitu abang Dina yang bernama Simeon dan Lewi, mengambil pedang mereka, lalu diam-diam masuk ke dalam kota. Kemudian mereka membunuh semua orang laki-laki di situ,

²⁵And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.

²⁶termasuk juga Hemor dan Sikhem. Lalu mereka mengambil Dina dari rumah Sikhem dan pergi.

²⁶And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went forth.

²⁷Setelah pembantaian itu, anak-anak Yakub yang lain merampok kota itu sebagai balas dendam karena adik mereka telah dinodai kehormatannya.

²⁷The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

²⁸Mereka mengambil kawanan kambing domba, sapi, keledai, dan segala yang ada di dalam kota dan di padang.

²⁸They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;

²⁹Mereka mengambil semua barang yang berharga, menawan semua wanita dan anak-anak, dan merampas segala isi rumah-rumah di kota itu.

²⁹and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.

³⁰Yakub berkata kepada Simeon dan Lewi, "Kalian menyusahkan saya. Sekarang orang Kanaan dan orang Feris dan semua penduduk di negeri ini akan membenci saya. Orang-orang kita tidak banyak; jika penduduk itu semua bersekutu melawan dan menyerang saya, seluruh keluarga kita akan dibinasakan."

³⁰And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

³¹Tetapi mereka menjawab, "Kami tidak dapat membiarkan adik kami diperlakukan sebagai pelacur."

³¹And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
