¹[Ny nakan'i Sekema an'i Dina sy ny namalian'i Simeona sy Levy izany] Dia nivoaka Dina, zanakavavin'i Lea, izay naterany tamin'i Jakoba, mba hizaha ny zazavavy tompon-tany.

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

²Ary nahita azy Sekema, zanakalahin'i Hamora Hivita, andriana tamin'izany tany izany; dia naka azy izy ary nandry taminy ka nampietry azy.

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

³Ary ny fony dia raiki-pitia tamin'i Dina, zanakavavin'i Jakoba; eny, tia ny zazavavy izy, ka dia nanao teny malefaka nahafinaritra azy.

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

⁴Ary Sekema dia niteny tamin'i Hamora rainy ka nanao hoe: Alao io zazavavy io ho vadiko.

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

⁵Ary ren'i Jakoba fa efa nandoto an'i Dina zananivavy izy; nefa ny zananilahy mbola niandry ny omby aman'ondriny tany an-tsaha; ka dia nangina aloha Jakoba mandra-pahatongany.

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.

⁶Dia nivoaka Hamora, rain'i Sekema, nankany amin'i Jakoba hidinika taminy.

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

⁷Ary ny zanak'i Jakoba dia tonga avy tany an-tsaha, rehefa nandre izy, ka nalahelo sady tezitra indrindra, satria Sekema efa nanao izay fady indrindra teo amin'ny Isiraely noho ny nandriany tamin'ny zanakavavin'i Jakoba; fa zavatra izay tsy tokony hatao izany.

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.

⁸Ary Hamora nidinika taminy ka nanao hoe: Ny fon'i Sekema zanakolahy efa raiki-pitia amin'ny zanakareo-vavy; koa masìna ianareo, mba omeo azy ho vadiny.

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,

⁹Ary aoka hifanambady anaka isika: omeo anay ny zanakareo vavy, ary alao ho anareo kosa ny zanakai-vavy,

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

¹⁰Dia hiara-monina aminay ianareo; ary indro ny tany eo anoloanareo; oneno, dia manaova varotra ao, ary aoka ho isan'ny tompon-tany ianareo.

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

¹¹Ary hoy Sekema tamin'ny rain'i Dina sy ny anadahiny: Aoka mba hahita fitia eto imasonareo aho, ary izay lazainareo amiko dia homeko;

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;

¹²na dia harena be sy zavatra betsaka aza no asainareo homeko, dia homeko ihany araka izay holazainareo amiko; fa omeo ahy ny zazavavy ho vadiko.

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.`

¹³Ary ny zanak'i Jakoba namaly an'i Sekema sy Hamora rainy tamin'ny fitaka ka nisaroro azy noho ny nandotoany an'i Dina anabaviny;

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

¹⁴ary hoy izy taminy: Tsy azonay atao ny hanome ny anabavinay ho an'izay lehilahy tsy voafora; fa fahavetavetana aminay izany.

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.

¹⁵Izao ihany no azonay hanekena anareo: Raha ho tahaka anay ianareo, ka hoforana ny lehilahy rehetra aminareo,

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

¹⁶dia homenay anareo ny zanakai-vavy, ary ny zanakareo-vavy kosa halainay ho anay, dia hiara-monina aminareo izahay, ka ho firenena iray isika.

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;

¹⁷Fa raha tsy hanaraka ny teninay ianareo ka hoforana dia halainay ny zanakai-vavy, ka handeha izahay.

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

¹⁸Dia sitrak'i Hamorasy Sekema zanany izany teniny izany.

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

¹⁹Ary tsy nitaredretra ilay zatovo hanao izany zavatra izany, satria efa tia ny zanakavavin'i Jakoba izy. Ary izy no nalaza indrindra tamin'izay rehetra tao an-tranon'ny rainy.

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.

²⁰Ary Hamora sy Sekema zananilahy nankeo amin'ny vavahadin'ny tanànany, dia niteny tamin'ny mponina tao an-tanànany ka nanao hoe:

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

²¹Ireo olona ireo mipetraka tsara eto amintsika, dia aoka honina eto amin'ny tany izy ka hanao varotra eto; fa. indro, ny tany dia malalaka eo anoloany; ny zananivavy dia aoka halaintsika ho vadintsika, ary ny zanatsika vavy dia aoka homentsika azy kosa.

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.

²²Nefa izao monja ihany no hanaovan'ireo lehilahy ireo fanekena amintsika mba hiara-monina amintsika ho firenena iray: mba hoforana koa, hono, ny lehilahy rehetra eto amintsika tahaka izay namorana azy ireo.

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;

²³Tsy ho antsika va ny omby aman'ondriny sy ny fananany mbamin'ny biby fiompiny rehetra? Aoka hanaiky ny teniny ihany isika, dia hiara-monina amintsika izy.

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

²⁴Ary izay rehetra nivoaka tamin'ny vavahadin'ny tanànany dia nanaiky ny tenin'i Hamora sy Sekema zanany; ary noforana ny lehilahy rehetra, dia izay rehetra nivoaka tamin'ny vavahadin'ny tanànany.

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.

²⁵Ary nony tamin'ny andro fahatelo, rehefa ilay narary mafy iny izy ireo, dia samy nitondra ny sabany ny zanak'i Jakoba roa lahy, dia Simeona sy Levy, anadahin'i Dina, ka niakatra sahisahy tao an-tanàna, dia namono ny lehilahy rehetra tao.

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;

²⁶Ary Hamora sy Sekema zananilahy dia novonoiny tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra koa; dia naka an'i Dina tao an-tranon'i Sekema izy ka lasa nandeha.

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.

²⁷Ary ny zanak'i Jakoba nankeny amin'ny faty ka namabo ny tanàna noho ny nandotoany ny anabaviny.

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

²⁸Ny ondry aman'osiny sy ny ombiny sy ny borikiny mbamin'izay rehetra tao an-tanàna sy izay rehetra tany an-tsaha dia nahorony avokoa;

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;

²⁹ary ny fananany re­hetra sy ny zanany madinika rehetra ary ny vadiny dia nobaboiny ka nofaohiny avokoa mbamin'izay rehetra tao an-trano.

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.

³⁰Ary hoy Jakoba tamin'i Simeona sy Levy: Efa nahatonga loza amiko ianareo, fa efa nomaimboinareo eto amin'ny mponina amin'ny tany aho, dia amin'ny Kananita sy ny Perizita; nefa olom-bitsy aho, ka dia hiangona hamely ahy izy ireo ka hamono ahy; dia ho fongotra aho, dia izaho sy ny ankohonako.Fa hoy kosa izy: Moa ny anabavinay havela hataony toy ny vehivavy janga va?

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.`

³¹Fa hoy kosa izy: Moa ny anabavinay havela hataony toy ny vehivavy janga va?

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