¹Dina pa, Lejina hči, ki jo je bila rodila Jakobu, je šla gledat hčere tistega kraja.

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

²In videl jo je Sihem, sin Hamorja Hevejca, kneza v tistem kraju, in jo ugrabi ter leže ž njo in jo posili.

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

³In srce njegovo se je prijelo Dine, Jakobove hčere, in je silno ljubil deklico in govoril, kar ji je segalo v srce.

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

⁴In Sihem ogovori Hamorja, očeta svojega, rekoč: Vzemi mi to deklico za ženo.

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

⁵Jakob pa je slišal, da je on oskrunil Dino, hčer njegovo; a sinovi njegovi so bili na polju z živino njegovo; in molčal je Jakob dokler niso prišli.

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.

⁶Pride pa Hamor, Sihemov oče, k Jakobu, da ž njim govori.

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

⁷In pridejo sinovi Jakobovi s polja, brž ko so slišali; in žalost je obšla te može in razsrdili so se silno, kajti nesramnost je storil v Izraelu, ker je legel s hčerjo Jakobovo, in tako se ne sme storiti.

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.

⁸In snubil je pri njih Hamor, govoreč: Sihema, sinú mojega, srce je v ljubezni nagnjeno do hčere vaše; dajte mu jo, prosim, za ženo.

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,

⁹In svaštvo sklenite z nami: hčere svoje dajajte nam in jemljite naše hčere.

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

¹⁰In z nami ostanite: ta pokrajina vam bodi na voljo, prebivajte in tržite po njej in posestniki postanite v njej.

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

¹¹In Sihem reče očetu deklice in bratom njenim: Milost naj najdem v vaših očeh, in kar mi ukažete, dam.

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;

¹²Naložite mi kakorsibodi veliko doto in darilo, in dam, kolikor ukažete; samo dajti mi deklico za ženo!

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.`

¹³Odgovoré pa sinovi Jakobovi zvijačno Sihemu in Hamorju, očetu njegovemu, ker je bil oskrunil Dino, njih sestro,

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

¹⁴ter jima reko: Ne moremo storiti tega, da damo sestro svojo možu neobrezancu, zakaj to nam je sramotno.

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.

¹⁵Vendar s tem pogojem vam privolimo: ako hočete biti nam enaki, da se med vami obreže vse moško,

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

¹⁶tedaj vam bomo dajali hčere svoje in si jemali hčere vaše, in prebivali bomo z vami in se združimo v eno ljudstvo.

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;

¹⁷Ako pa nas ne boste poslušali, da se obrežete, vzamemo hčer svojo ter odidemo.

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

¹⁸In njih besede so ugajale Hamorju in Sihemu, Hamorjevemu sinu.

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

¹⁹In mladenič ni odlašal in je storil to, ker je imel veselje do hčere Jakobove; in on je bil najimenitnejši v vsej hiši očeta svojeta.

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.

²⁰Gresta torej Hamor in Sihem, sin njegov, k vratom svojega mesta in ogovorita someščane svoje, rekoč:

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

²¹Ti možje so miroljubni proti nam, naj torej bivajo v deželi in tržijo po njej; saj dežela, glejte, je dovolj prostorna zanje; njih hčere si jemljimo za žene in hčere svoje dajajmo njim.

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.

²²Samo s tem pogojem nam privolijo oni možje, da bivajo z nami, da se združimo v eno ljudstvo, ako se med nami obrežejo vsi moški, kakor so obrezani oni.

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;

²³Njih črede in njih posest in vsa njih živina ali ne bode naša? Samo privolimo jim, in prebivali bodo z nami.

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

²⁴Slušali so torej Hamorja in Sihema, sina njegovega, vsi, ki so hodili skozi vrata njegovega mesta, in obrezali so se vsi moški, vsi, ki so hodili skozi mestna vrata.

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.

²⁵Zgodi se pa tretji dan, ko so bili v bolečinah, da vzameta dva sina Jakobova, Simeon in Levi, Dinina brata, vsak svoj meč ter napadeta tisto brezskrbno mesto ter pomorita vse moške.

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;

²⁶Hamorja tudi in Sihema, sina njegovega, sta umorila z meča ostrino, ter vzameta Dino iz hiše Sihemove in odideta.

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.

²⁷Sinovi Jakobovi planejo na pobite in oplenijo mesto, zato ker je odtod prišla oskrumba njih sestri.

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

²⁸Njih črede in njih goveda in osle, kar je bilo v mestu in kar je bilo na polju, vzemo;

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;

²⁹tudi vse njih blago in vse njih otročiče in njih žene odvedo ujete in uplenijo sploh vse, kar je bilo v hišah.

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.

³⁰Tedaj reče Jakob Simeonu in Leviju: V nesrečo sta me spravila, ker sta storila, da smrdim pri prebivalcih tega kraja, pri Kanaancu in Ferizejcu, ko imam le malo ljudi; če se zbero zoper mene, me pobijejo, in pokončan bom jaz in hiša moja.Ona pa rečeta: Ali naj se kakor z nečistnico dela s sestro našo?

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.`

³¹Ona pa rečeta: Ali naj se kakor z nečistnico dela s sestro našo?

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