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.

¹Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see 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.

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

³His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

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

⁴Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as 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.

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.

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

⁶Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk 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.

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.

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.

⁸Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

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

⁹Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for 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.

¹⁰You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get 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;

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.

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.

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.”

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;

¹³The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had 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 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.

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

¹⁵Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be 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 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.

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

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.”

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

¹⁸Their words pleased Hamor and 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.

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.

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

²⁰Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁶They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

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

²⁷Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered 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;

²⁸They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

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. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was 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?

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.”

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

³¹They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
