Ginlugos si Dina

34 Isa sadto ka adlaw, naglakat si Dina nga anak nga dalaga ni Jacob kag ni Lea. Nagbisita siya sa mga kababayihan nga taga-Canaan. Nakita siya ni Shekem nga anak ni Hamor nga Hivhanon, nga pangulo sang sadto nga lugar. Gindakop niya si Dina kag ginlugos. Pero nahulog ang iya buot kay Dina kag naluyag siya sa iya, gani gin-uloulohan niya ang dalaga. Karon, nagsiling si Shekem sa iya amay nga si Hamor, “Tay, pangitai abi sang paagi nga mapangasawa ko ang ina nga dalaga.”

Sang nahibaluan ni Jacob nga ginhigkuan ni Shekem ang pagkatawo ni Dina, wala lang siya anay sing may ginhimo kay didto pa sa uma ang iya mga anak nga lalaki nga nagabantay sang iya mga sapat. Nagkadto ang amay ni Shekem nga si Hamor kay Jacob agod magpakighambal sa iya.

Pagkabati sang mga anak nga lalaki ni Jacob sa natabo, nagpauli dayon sila. Naglain gid ang ila buot kag puwerte gid ang ila kaakig kay Shekem tungod kay naghimo siya sang butang nga indi dapat himuon, nga nagdala sang kahuy-anan sa pamilya ni Jacob.[a] Pero nagsiling si Hamor sa ila, “Naluyag gid ang akon anak nga si Shekem sa inyo nga dalaga, gani nagapangabay ako nga ipaasawa na lang ninyo siya sa iya. Kag maayo man siguro nga ipaasawa ninyo ang inyo mga dalaga sa amon mga soltero kag ipaasawa man namon ang amon mga dalaga sa inyo mga soltero. 10 Puwede kamo mag-estar upod sa amon sa bisan diin nga lugar nga gusto ninyo. Kag puwede man kamo diri makanegosyo bisan diin kag makaangkon sang duta.”

11 Nagpangabay man si Shekem sa amay kag sa mga utod ni Dina, “Kon mahimo ipaasawa na lang ninyo si Dina sa akon. Bisan ano ang inyo pangayuon ihatag ko. 12 Pagusto kamo kon pila ang pangayuon ninyo kag kon ano ang iregalo ko sa pagpangasawa ko sa inyo utod. Bayaran ko kamo bisan pila ang inyo pangayuon basta ipaasawa lang ninyo sa akon si Dina.”

13 Pero tungod kay ginhigkuan ni Shekem ang pagkatawo ni Dina, gintunto sang mga anak ni Jacob si Shekem kag ang iya amay nga si Hamor. 14 Siling nila, “Indi puwede nga ipaasawa namon si Dina sa tawo nga wala matuli, kay makahuluya ina para sa amon. 15 Masugot lang kami kon ang tanan nga lalaki nga taga-diri magpatuli man pareho sa amon. 16 Kon magpatuli kamo, puwede namon ipaasawa ang amon mga dalaga sa inyo kag kami puwede man makapangasawa sang inyo mga dalaga. Kag maestar kami upod sa inyo agod mangin isa na lang kita ka katawhan. 17 Pero kon indi kamo magsugot, kuhaon namon si Dina kag maglakat.”

18 Nakita ni Hamor kag ni Shekem nga daw maayo man ang kondisyon nga ginhatag sang mga anak ni Jacob. 19 Gani tungod sa dako nga gugma ni Shekem kay Dina, wala na siya mag-usik pa sang tion sa pagtuman sang ginsiling sang mga anak ni Jacob.

Si Shekem ginatahod gid sa panimalay sang iya amay. 20 Gani nagkadto siya dayon kag ang iya amay didto sa puwertahan sang banwa kag nagpakighambal sa mga lalaki sang ila banwa. 21 Siling nila, “Mainabyanon ini nga mga tawo. Gani diri na lang naton sila paestaron kag tugutan nga makanegosyo diri. Total, dako man ining aton lugar. Makapangasawa kita sa ila mga dalaga kag sila makapangasawa man sa aton mga dalaga. 22 Pero masugot lang sila nga mag-estar upod sa aton bilang isa ka katawhan kon magsugot man ang tanan naton nga mga lalaki nga magpatuli pareho sa ila. 23 Kon diri na sila mag-estar, kundi mangin aton man ang tanan nila nga kasapatan kag mga pagkabutang. Gani masugot na lang kita sa ila kondisyon agod mag-estar sila upod sa aton.” 24 Nagsugot ang tanan nga lalaki sang banwa sa ginhambal ni Hamor kag sang iya anak nga si Shekem. Gani nagpatuli ang tanan nga lalaki.

25 Pagkaligad sang tatlo ka adlaw, samtang ginahapdian pa ang mga lalaki, nagsulod sa banwa ang duha ka anak ni Jacob nga si Simeon kag si Levi, nga mga utod ni Dina. Wala kahibalo ang mga tawo didto nga malain gali ang ila tuyo. May dala sila nga espada kag ginpamatay nila ang tanan nga lalaki. 26 Ginpatay man nila si Hamor kag ang iya anak nga si Shekem. Ginkuha dayon nila si Dina sa balay ni Shekem kag naglakat. 27 Pagkatapos ginsulod man sang iban pa nga mga anak ni Jacob ang banwa kag ginpanguha ang mga pagkabutang sini. Ginhimo nila ini tungod kay ginhigkuan ang pagkatawo sang ila utod nga si Dina. 28 Ginpanguha nila ang mga karnero, mga baka, mga asno, kag ang tanan nga pagkabutang didto sa banwa kag sa uma. 29 Ginpanguha nila ang tanan nga manggad sang banwa, pati ang mga pagkabutang sa sulod sang mga balay. Kag ginbihag nila ang tanan nga babayi kag kabataan.

30 Karon, nagsiling si Jacob kay Simeon kag kay Levi, “Ginhatagan ninyo ako sang dako nga problema. Dumtan na kita karon sang mga Canaanhon kag mga Periznon sa sini nga lugar. Mapatay gid kita tanan kon mag-isa sila sa pagsalakay sa aton tungod kay diutay lang kita.” 31 Pero nagsabat ang duha, “Pabay-an lang bala namon nga trataron ang amon utod nga daw isa ka babayi nga nagabaligya sang iya lawas?”

The Dinah Incident

34 Now (A)Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he (B)took her and lay with her, and violated her. His soul [a]was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke [b]kindly to the young woman. So Shechem (C)spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”

And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob (D)held[c] his peace until they came. Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he (E)had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, (F)a thing which ought not to be done. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves. 10 So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”

11 Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask me ever so much (G)dowry[d] and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.”

13 But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke (H)deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. 14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is (I)uncircumcised, for (J)that would be a reproach to us. 15 But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised, 16 then we will 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. 17 But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”

18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19 So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was (K)more honorable than all the household of his father.

20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the (L)gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying: 21 “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.” 24 And all who went out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all who (M)went out of the gate of his city.

25 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, (N)Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. 26 And they (O)killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled. 28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field, 29 and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.

30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, (P)“You have (Q)troubled me (R)by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; (S)and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”

31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

The Defiling of Dinah

34 Now (A)Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land. And when Shechem the son of (B)Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her. And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her. So Shechem (C)spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.”

Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and (D)very angry, because he (E)had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, (F)for such a thing must not be done.

But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your[a] daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 You shall dwell with us, and (G)the land shall be open to you. Dwell and (H)trade in it, and (I)get property in it.” 11 Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, (J)“Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask me for as great a (K)bride-price[b] and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife.”

13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah. 14 They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for (L)that would be a disgrace to us. 15 Only on this condition will we agree with you—that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised. 16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people. 17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone.”

18 Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem. 19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. Now (M)he was the most honored of all his father's house. 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem (N)came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying, 21 “These men are at peace with us; let them dwell in the land and (O)trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us.” 24 And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who (P)went out of the gate of his city.

25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, (Q)Simeon and Levi, (R)Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males. 26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and went away. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28 They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field. 29 All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and plundered.

30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, (S)“You have brought trouble on me (T)by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, (U)the Canaanites and the Perizzites. (V)My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.” 31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?”

34 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.

And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.

And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.

And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.

And the sons of Jacob came out of 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.

And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.

And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.

10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.

12 Ask 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.

13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:

14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;

16 Then 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.

17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.

20 And 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 peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.

23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.

24 And 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.

25 And 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 boldly, and slew all the males.

26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,

29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.

30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
