Genesis 34
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?

Dinah Defiled
34 Leah’s daughter(A) Dinah, whom Leah bore to Jacob, went out to see some of the young women of the area. 2 When Shechem—son of Hamor the Hivite, who was the region’s chieftain—saw her, he took her and raped her. 3 He became infatuated with Jacob’s daughter Dinah. He loved the young girl and spoke tenderly to her.[a] 4 “Get me this girl as a wife,”(B) he told his father.
5 Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent until they returned. 6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob. 7 Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard about the incident. They were deeply grieved and very angry, for Shechem had committed an outrage against Israel by raping Jacob’s daughter,(C) and such a thing should not be done.
8 Hamor said to Jacob’s sons, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your[b] daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9 Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor,[c] and I’ll give you whatever you say. 12 Demand of me a high compensation[d] and gift; I’ll give you whatever you ask me. Just give the girl to be my wife!”
13 But Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully because he had defiled their sister Dinah. 14 “We cannot do this thing,” they said to them. “Giving our sister to an uncircumcised man is a disgrace to us. 15 We will agree with you only on this condition: if all your males are circumcised as we are.(D) 16 Then we will give you our daughters, take your daughters for ourselves, live 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 go.”
18 Their words seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man did not delay doing this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most important in all his father’s family. 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city(E) and spoke to the men of their city.
21 “These men are peaceful toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and move about in it, for indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them. 22 But the men will agree to live with us and be one people only on this condition: if all our men are circumcised as they are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let’s agree with them, and they will live with us.”
24 All the men(F) who had come to the city gates listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and all those men were circumcised. 25 On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi,(G) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and killed every male. 26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went away. 27 Jacob’s sons came to the slaughter and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled. 28 They took their flocks, herds, donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field. 29 They captured all their possessions, dependents, and wives and plundered everything in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me,(H) making me odious to the inhabitants of the land,(I) the Canaanites and the Perizzites.(J) We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”(K)
31 But they answered, “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?”

Ginahasa si Dina
34 Minsan, si Dina, ang anak na dalaga ni Jacob kay Lea, ay dumalaw sa ilang kababaihan sa lupaing iyon. 2 Nakita siya ni Shekem, anak na binata ni Hamor na isang Hivita at pinuno sa lupaing iyon. Sapilitan siyang isinama nito at ginahasa. 3 Ngunit napamahal na nang husto kay Shekem si Dina at sinikap niyang suyuin ito. 4 Sinabi ni Shekem sa kanyang ama na lakaring mapangasawa niya ang dalaga.
5 Nalaman ni Jacob na pinagsamantalahan ni Shekem ang kanyang anak, ngunit hindi muna siya kumibo sapagkat nagpapastol noon ng baka ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki. 6 Nagpunta naman si Hamor kay Jacob upang makipag-usap. 7 Siya namang pagdating ng mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob mula sa kaparangan. Nabigla sila nang mabalitaan ang nangyari sa kapatid, at gayon na lamang ang kanilang galit dahil sa ginawa ni Shekem. Ito'y itinuring nilang isang paglapastangan sa buong angkan ni Jacob. 8 Sinabi ni Hamor, “Yaman din lamang na iniibig ni Shekem si Dina, bakit hindi pa natin sila ipakasal? 9 Magkaisa na tayo! Hayaan nating mapangasawa ng aming mga binata ang inyong mga dalaga, at ng aming mga dalaga ang inyong mga binata. 10 Sa gayo'y maaari na kayong manatili dito sa aming lupain. Maaari kayong tumira kung saan ninyo gusto; maaari kayong maghanapbuhay at magkaroon ng ari-arian.”
11 Nakiusap ding mabuti si Shekem sa ama at mga kapatid ni Dina. Sinabi niya, “Pagbigyan na po ninyo ang aking hangarin, at humiling naman kayo ng kahit anong gusto ninyo. 12 Sabihin po ninyo kung ano ang dote na dapat kong ibigay at kung magkano pa ang kailangan kong ipagkaloob sa inyo, makasal lamang kami.”
13 Dahil sa paglapastangan kay Dina, mapanlinlang ang pagsagot ng mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob sa mag-amang Hamor at Shekem. 14 Sinabi nila, “Malaking kahihiyan namin kung hindi tuli ang mapapangasawa ng aming kapatid. 15 Papayag lamang kami kung ikaw at ang lahat ng mga lalaking nasasakupan ninyo ay magpapatuli. 16 Pagkatapos, maaari na ninyong mapangasawa ang aming mga dalaga at ang inyo nama'y mapapangasawa namin. Magiging magkababayan na tayo at mamumuhay tayong magkakasama. 17 Kung di kayo sasang-ayon, isasama na namin si Dina at aalis na kami.”
18 Pumayag naman ang mag-amang Hamor at Shekem. 19 Hindi na sila nag-aksaya ng panahon sapagkat napakalaki ng pag-ibig ni Shekem kay Dina. Si Shekem ay iginagalang ng lahat sa kanilang sambahayan.
20 Sa may pintuan ng lunsod, tinipon ng mag-ama ang lahat ng lalaki sa Shekem. Sinabi nila, 21 “Napakabuting makisama ng mga dayuhang dumating dito sa atin. Dito na natin sila patirahin, maluwang din lamang ang ating lupain. Pakasalan natin ang kanilang mga dalaga at sila nama'y gayon din. 22 Ngunit mangyayari lamang ito kung ang ating mga kalalakihan ay patutuli na tulad nila. 23 Sa gayon, ang kanilang ari-arian, mga kawan at bakahan ay mapapasaatin. Sumang-ayon na tayong mamuhay silang kasama natin.” 24 Sumang-ayon naman sa panukalang ito ang mga lalaki, at silang lahat ay nagpatuli.
25 Nang ikatlong araw na matindi pa ang kirot ng sugat ng mga tinuli, kinuha nina Simeon at Levi na mga kapatid ni Dina, ang kanilang tabak at pinagpapatay ang mga lalaki roon na walang kamalay-malay. 26 Pinatay nila pati ang mag-amang Hamor at Shekem, at itinakas si Dina. 27 Pagkatapos ng pagpatay sinamsam naman ng ibang mga anak ni Jacob ang mahahalagang ari-arian doon. Ginawa nila ito dahil sa panghahalay sa kanilang kapatid na babae. 28 Sinamsam nila pati mga kawan, mga baka, mga asno at lahat ng mapapakinabangan sa bayan at sa bukid. 29 Dinala nilang lahat ang mga kayamanan, binihag ang mga babae't mga bata, at walang itinirang anuman.
30 Sinabi ni Jacob kina Simeon at Levi, “Binigyan ninyo ako ng napakalaking suliranin. Ngayon, kamumuhian ako ng mga Cananeo at Perezeo. Kapag nagkaisa silang salakayin tayo, wala tayong sapat na tauhang magtatanggol; maaari nilang lipulin ang aking sambahayan.”
31 Ngunit sila'y sumagot, “Hindi po kami makakapayag na ituring na isang masamang babae ang aming kapatid.”
