Genesis 34
Names of God Bible
Dinah Is Raped
34 Dinah, daughter of Leah and Jacob, went out to visit some of the Canaanite women. 2 When Shechem, son of the local ruler Hamor the Hivite, saw her, he took her and raped her. 3 He became very fond of Jacob’s daughter Dinah. He loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl for my wife.”
5 Jacob heard that Shechem had dishonored his daughter Dinah. His sons were with his livestock out in the open country, so Jacob kept quiet until they came home.
6 So Shechem’s father Hamor came to Jacob to speak with him. 7 Jacob’s sons came in from the open country as soon as they heard the news. The men felt outraged and very angry because Shechem had committed such a godless act against Israel’s family by raping Jacob’s daughter. This shouldn’t have happened.
8 Hamor told them. “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please let her marry him. 9 Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take ours for yourselves. 10 You can live with us, and the land will be yours. Live here, move about freely in this area, and acquire property here.”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and her brothers, “Do me this favor. I’ll give you whatever you ask. 12 Set the price I must pay for the bride and the gift I must give her as high as you want. I’ll pay exactly what you tell me. Give me the girl as my wife.”
13 Then Jacob’s sons gave Shechem and his father Hamor a misleading answer because he had dishonored their sister Dinah. 14 They said, “We can’t do this. We can’t give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised. That would be a disgrace to us! 15 We will give our consent to you only on one condition: Every male must be circumcised as we are. 16 Then we’ll give our daughters to you and take yours for ourselves, and we’ll live with you and become one people. 17 If you won’t agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our daughter and go.”
18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man didn’t waste any time in doing what they said because he took such pleasure in Jacob’s daughter. He was the most honored person in all his father’s family.
20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to their city gate to speak to the men of their city. They said, 21 “These people are friendly toward us, so let them live in our land and move about freely in the area. Look, there’s plenty of room in this land for them. We can marry their daughters and let them marry ours. 22 These people will consent to live with us and become one nation on one condition: Every male must be circumcised as they are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their personal property, and all their animals be ours? We only need to agree to do this for them. Then they’ll live with us.”
24 All the men who had come out to the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. So they were all circumcised at the city gate.
25 Two days later, while the men were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and boldly attacked the city. They killed every man 26 including Hamor and his son Shechem. They took Dinah from Shechem’s home and left. 27 Then Jacob’s sons stripped the corpses and looted the city where their sister had been dishonored. 28 They took the sheep and goats, cattle, donkeys, and whatever else was in the city or out in the fields. 29 They carried off all the wealth and all the women and children and looted everything in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused me a lot of trouble! You’ve made the people living in the area, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, hate me. There are only a few of us. If they join forces against me and attack me, my family and I will be wiped out.”
31 Simeon and Levi asked, “Should Shechem have been allowed to treat our sister like a prostitute?”

Ang Pulong Sang Dios
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. 2 Nakita siya ni Shekem nga anak ni Hamor nga Hivhanon, nga pangulo sang sadto nga lugar. Gindakop niya si Dina kag ginlugos. 3 Pero nahulog ang iya buot kay Dina kag naluyag siya sa iya, gani gin-uloulohan niya ang dalaga. 4 Karon, nagsiling si Shekem sa iya amay nga si Hamor, “Tay, pangitai abi sang paagi nga mapangasawa ko ang ina nga dalaga.”
5 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. 6 Nagkadto ang amay ni Shekem nga si Hamor kay Jacob agod magpakighambal sa iya.
7 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] 8 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. 9 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?”

New International Version
Dinah and the Shechemites
34 Now Dinah,(A) the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem(B) son of Hamor(C) the Hivite,(D) the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.(E) 3 His heart was drawn to Dinah(F) daughter of Jacob;(G) he loved(H) the young woman and spoke tenderly(I) to her. 4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”(J)
5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled,(K) his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.
6 Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.(L) 7 Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked(M) and furious,(N) because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[a] Israel(O) by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.(P)
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.(Q) 9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.(R) 10 You can settle among us;(S) the land is open to you.(T) Live in it, trade[b] in it,(U) and acquire property in it.(V)”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes,(W) and I will give you whatever you ask. 12 Make the price for the bride(X) and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”
13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled,(Y) Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully(Z) as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. 14 They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised.(AA) That would be a disgrace to us. 15 We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition(AB) only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.(AC) 16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves.(AD) We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.(AE) 17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”
18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man, who was the most honored(AF) of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.(AG) 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city(AH) to speak to the men of their city. 21 “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;(AI) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.(AJ) 22 But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,(AK) as they themselves are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?(AL) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.(AM)”
24 All the men who went out of the city gate(AN) agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,(AO) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon(AP) and Levi,(AQ) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords(AR) and attacked the unsuspecting city,(AS) killing every male.(AT) 26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword(AU) and took Dinah(AV) from Shechem’s house and left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city(AW) where[c] their sister had been defiled.(AX) 28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys(AY) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.(AZ) 29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,(BA) taking as plunder(BB) everything in the houses.(BC)
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble(BD) on me by making me obnoxious(BE) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.(BF) We are few in number,(BG) and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?(BH)”

King James Version
34 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 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.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 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.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 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.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9 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?
