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

¹Huan, Lea tanu Dina, Jakob a neihsak, huai gam nungak te mu dingin a pawtkhia.

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

²Huan, Hiv mi Hamor, huai gam lal tapa Sekemin amah a na mua; a mana, a luppih a, a ninsak hi.

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

³Huan, a lungsim Jakob tanu Dina tungah a om bikbeka, huai nungak lah a ita, amah kamsiam takin a houpiha.

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

⁴Huan, Sekem in a pa Hamor a houpiha, huai nungak ji dingin honnei sakin, a chi a.

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.

⁵Huan, Jakobin a tanu Dina a ninsak khin chih a ja a; a tate gamlak ah a gan lak uah a om ua: huchiin, a hongtun mateng uh Jakob a dai dide hi.

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

⁶Huan, Sekem pa Hamor Jakob houpih dingin a kiangah a hoha.

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.

⁷Huan, Jakob tapaten a jak tak un gamlak akipanin a hongpaita ua: huan, Jakob tanu luppihin Israelte laka thil gilou haihuaitak, thil hih hetlouh ding, a hih jiakin a lungkham ua, a heh mahmah uh.

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

⁸Huan, Hamorin a mau a houpiha, ka tapa Sekem lungsim na tanu uh tungah a om bikbeka: hehpihtakin ji dingin nei sak ve ua.

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

⁹Huchiin, ki la tuah ve ni e; na tanute uh hon lasak unla, ka tanute uleng lasam un.

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

¹⁰Huchiin, ka kiang uah na om ding ua; gam leng a kiching gige ding: hiai khawngah om unla, sum sin unla, hiai khawngah kihih inbul un, a chi a.

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.

¹¹Huan, Sekemin nungak pa leh a sanggampa te kiangah, honhehpih ve ua, ka kianga na gen peuh uh ka honpe ding.

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.”

¹²Man leh thilpiak jaw bang zah bang zah ngen le uchin, na chih bangbang un k a honpe ding: abang hileh, nungak pen ji dingin hon neisak phot un, a chi a.

¹³The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

¹³Huan, Jakob taten, a sanggamnu uh Dina a nitsak jiakin. Sekem leh a pa Hamor zekhemna in a dawng ua, a gen sam ua, a kiang uah.

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.

¹⁴Hiai thil zeksumloute kianga ka tanu uh piak pen ka hih theikei ding uh; huailah kou dingin minsiatna ahi ngala:

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

¹⁵Hichibanga kichiam kiain na thu bang uh pha ka sa ding uh: na lak ua pasal peuhpeuh zeksumin kou bangin om unla;

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.

¹⁶Huchiin ka tanute uh kon neisak ding uh, kou leng na tanute uh ka nei sam ding uh, huan, na kiang uah ka om ding ua, chi khat hi ding I hi.

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.”

¹⁷Himahleh, zeksum thu a ka thu uh na zuih kei ding u leh ka tanu uh ka pi ding ua, kapai mai ding uh, a chi ua.

¹⁸Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.

¹⁸Huan, a thu un Hamor leh Hamor tapa Sekem a kipaksak hi.

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.

¹⁹Huchiin, tangval in bel Jakob tanu a deih mahmah jiakin, huai thil sawt hallou in a hih tamai hi: amah a pa inkuante inkuan tengteng laka mite zahtak pen ahi hi.

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

²⁰Huan, Hamor leh a tapa Sekem in a kho kulh kongkhak uh a pha ua, a khuate uh a houpih ua,

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.

²¹Hua jite hon kituahpih takin a om ua; huaijiakin hiai gamah omin, hiai khawng ah sumsin uhen; ngai un, amau dingin gam lah a za hun ngal a; a tanute uh ji dingin nei lehang, i tanute leng neisak sam ni.

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.

²²Himahleh chi khat i hong hihna dinga I kianga om hichibanga I chiam kia in hua miten pha a honsakpih ding uhi, zeksum a hih uh bangin I lak ua pasal peuhpeuh zeksum hong hita lehang.

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.”

²³A gante uh, a sum te uh, a sa tengteng uh eia ahi vek kei dia hia? A thu uh pha sakpih mai ve ni, huchiin I kianga om ding uhi, achi ua.

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.

²⁴Huan, Hamor leh a tapa Sekem thu a kho kulh kongkhak a pawt tengteng in a jui ua; a kho kulh kongkhak a pawt tengteng pasal peuhpeuh, zek a sumsak uhi.

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.

²⁵Huan, hichi ahia, a ni thum ni in, a gim laitak un, Jakob tapate laka mi nih, Dina sanggampa Simeon leh Levi in a namsau uh tawi tuaktuak in a gukin khua a sualta ua, pasal tengteng a that gam uh.

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

²⁶Huchiin, Hamor leh a tapa Sekem namsau hiam in a that ua, Sekem in akipan in Dina a pi ua, a pawt uh.

²⁷Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

²⁷Jakob tapaten a mi thah te uh a va pha nawn ua, a tanu uh a nitsak jiak un huai khua a lokta uhi.

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

²⁸A belam honte uh, a bawng honte uh, a sabengtung te uh, a khua ua thil omte, a lou ua thil omte a laksak ua:

²⁹and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.

²⁹A sum tengteng u leh, a ta a nau neu chik chik leh a jite tengteng, in sunga om peuhmah a man ua, a lok uhi.

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.”

³⁰Huan, Jakob in Simeon leh Levi kiangah, nou hiai gam a omte laka, Kanan te leh Periz te lakah, huat non posak ua non lungjing sak mahmah uh: kei tawmchik ka hih jiakin honsual dingin a kikhawm khawm ding ua, hon that mai ding uh; huchiin, hih mangin ka om dinga, kei leh ka inkuanpihte toh, achia.Huan, amau, ka sanggamnu uh kijuak bawl bangin a bawl ding ahi diam? A chi uhi.

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

³¹Huan, amau, ka sanggamnu uh kijuak bawl bangin a bawl ding ahi diam? A chi uhi.
