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.”

The Rape of Dinah
34 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region. 2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the region, saw her, he seized her and lay with her by force. 3 And his soul was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the girl, and spoke tenderly to her. 4 So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, ‘Get me this girl to be my wife.’
5 Now Jacob heard that Shechem[a] had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came. 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him, 7 just as the sons of Jacob came in from the field. When they heard of it, the men were indignant and very angry, because he had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
8 But Hamor spoke with them, saying, ‘The heart of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage. 9 Make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 You shall live with us; and the land shall be open to you; live and trade in it, and get property in it.’ 11 Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, ‘Let me find favour with you, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Put the marriage present and gift as high as you like, and I will give whatever you ask me; only give me the girl 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 that would be a disgrace to us. 15 Only on this condition will we consent to you: that you will become as we are and every male among you be circumcised. 16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people. 17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and 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 was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most honoured of all his family. 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying, 21 ‘These people are friendly with us; let them live in the land and trade in it, for the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters in marriage, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only on this condition will they agree to live among us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock, their property, and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will live among us.’ 24 And all who went out of the city gate heeded Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Dinah’s Brothers Avenge Their Sister
25 On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and came against the city unawares, 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 And the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled. 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 made their prey. 30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, ‘You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites; 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 our sister be treated like a whore?’
