Genesis

34

1Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
1 Dina, Laya ize wayo kaŋ a hay Yakuba se fatta zama nga ma di laabo din ize wayey.
1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
2 Kala laabu koyo Hamor, Hibanca, a ize aru kaŋ maa Sekem di Dina. Kal a n'a sambu ka kani nd'a. A n'a hasara.
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.
3His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
3 A fundo mo deeji Yakuba ize wayo Dina gaa, a ga ba wandiya. A na gomni sanni te wandiya se.
3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
4 Koyne, Sekem salaŋ nga baabo Hamor se ka ne: «Kala ni ma du ay se wandiyo wo, a ma ciya ay wande.»
4And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
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.
5 Yakuba maa baaru kaŋ a na nga izo wayo Dina hasara, a ize arey mo go almaney banda saajo ra. Yakuba binde na nga dangayyaŋ te hal i ma kaa.
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.
6Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
6 Sekem baaba Hamor binde faata ka koy Yakuba do zama nga ma saaware nd'a.
6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
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.
7 Yakuba izey mo, waato kaŋ i maa baaro, i kaa ka fun saajo ra. Alborey binde biney sara, i futu gumo. Zama Sekem na saamotaray goy te Israyla* ra, kaŋ a na Yakuba ize wayo sara, haŋ kaŋ mana hima i ma te.
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.
8Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
8 Hamor salaŋ i se ka ne: «Ay izo Sekem fundo ga laami araŋ ize wayo.
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.
9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
9 Ay g'araŋ ŋwaaray, w'a no nd'a a ma ciya a se wande. Araŋ ma hiiji iri gaa mo. Araŋ m'iri no araŋ ize wayey, araŋ ma sambu iri ize wayey.
9And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
10 Araŋ ma goro iri banda. Laabo go araŋ jine. Araŋ ma goro a ra ka daymi te ka du arzaka a ra.»
10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
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.
11 Sekem ne Dina baabo d'a armey se: «Ay nya-izey, wa naŋ ay ma du gaakuri araŋ do. Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga daŋ ay gaa kulu, ay g'a bana.
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.
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.”
12 Wa daŋ nooru nda nooyaŋey. Mate kulu kaŋ i baa d'a, ay g'a no mate kaŋ araŋ ga ci ay se d'a. Amma day, araŋ m'ay no wandiyo wo ay m'a hiiji.»
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.
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
13 Yakuba izey binde tu Sekem da nga baaba Hamor se ka hiila sanni te i se, zama a n'i waymo Dina sara.
13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
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.
14 I ne i se: «Iri si hin ka woodin te, iri m'iri waymo no boro kaŋ si dambangu se, zama woodin haawi hari no iri se.
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.
15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
15 Amma woone hinne boŋ no iri ga yadda araŋ se: d'araŋ yadda ka ciya danga iri cine, sanda araŋ ra alboro kulu, i m'a dambangu.
15Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
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.
16 Waato din gaa no iri g'araŋ no iri ize wayey, iri mo m'araŋ ize wayey hiiji. Iri ga goro araŋ banda mo, iri ma te kunda fo.
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.
17But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
17 Amma d'araŋ mana maa iri se, sanda i m'araŋ dambangu, kal iri m'iri waymo sambu k'iri diraw te.»
17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
18 I sanno binde kaan Hamor da Hamor izo Sekem se.
18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
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.
19 Arwaso mana muray muraado din se mo, zama a goono ga farhã da Yakuba ize wayo. Sekem gonda beeray mo nga dumo kulu jine.
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.
20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
20 Kala Hamor da nga izo Sekem koy ngey kwaara me gaa. I saaware nda ngey kwaara borey ka ne:
20And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
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.
21 «Iri nda borey wo gonda baani goray. Iri binde ma te mate kaŋ i ga goro iri laabo ra, i ma day da neera te a ra. Zama a go, laabo ga beeri, a ga wasa i se. Iri m'i ize wayey sambu, iri m'i no mo iri ize wayey.
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.
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.
22 Woone hinne no ga naŋ borey din ma yadda ka goro iri banda, iri ma te kunda fo: kala nda i n'iri alboro fo kulu dambangu, mate kaŋ ngey din dambangukoyyaŋ no.
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.
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.”
23 I alman kayna nda alman beerey, d'i arzaka kulu, manti i ga ciya iri wane yaŋ bo? Kala day iri ma yadda i se, ngey mo ga goro iri banda.»
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.
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.
24 Boro kulu kaŋ ga fatta kwaara meyo gaa maa Hamor da nga izo Sekem sanno se. I na alborey kulu dambangu, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga fatta a kwaara me gaa kulu.
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.
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.
25 A ciya mo, zaari hinzanta hane, saaya kaŋ borey go ga maa doori, kala Yakuba ize hinka tun, Simeyon da Lawi, Dina armey. I kulu na ngey takuba sambu, i furo kwaara ra kaŋ miila ngey go laakal kanay ra, ka alborey kulu wi.
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.
26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
26 I na Hamor da nga izo Sekem wi da takuba. I na Dina sambu Sekem windo ra ka dira.
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.
27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
27 Kala Yakuba izey kaa borey kaŋ yaŋ i wi yaŋ din gaa ka kwaara say, zama i n'i waymo sara.
27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
28 I na feeji nda haw kurey ku, ngey da farkayey da haŋ kaŋ go kwaara ra, da haŋ kaŋ go farey ra,
28They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;
29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
29 d'i arzakey d'i zankey d'i wandey -- i n'i kulu di k'i ku, hala nda hay kulu kaŋ go windey ra.
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.
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.”
30 Yakuba ne Simeyon da Lawi se: «Araŋ n'ay taabandi, za kaŋ araŋ naŋ ay ma ciya fanta hari laabo gorokoy se, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti Kanaanancey da Perizancey se. Ay go mo kunda kayna no. I ga tun ay se k'ay kar, ay ga halaci mo, in d'ay dumo.»
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.
31They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
31 Izey ne a se: «A m'iri waymo ciya sanda kaaruwa, wala?»
31And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?
