< Postanak 34 >

1 Dina, kći koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziđe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
3 Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kćer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojčino srce.
Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
4 Šekem je govorio i svom ocu Hamoru: “Onu mi djevojku uzmi za ženu!”
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 Jakov sazna da je Šekem obeščastio njegovu kćer Dinu. Ali kako su njegovi sinovi bili uz blago na polju, Jakov nije poduzimao ništa dok oni ne dođu.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
6 Uto dođe k Jakovu Šekemov otac Hamor da se s njim sporazumije,
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 upravo kad su se Jakovljevi sinovi vraćali iz polja. Kad su čuli vijest, ljudi su bili ojađeni i vrlo ljuti. Što je Šekem učinio - legavši s Jakovljevom kćeri - u Izraelu je bila sramota. To se nije smjelo trpjeti.
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
8 Hamor im reče. “Moj se sin Šekem svom dušom zaljubio u vašu kćer. Dajte mu je za ženu!
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Oprijateljite se s nama: dajite nam svoje kćeri, a naše kćeri uzimajte sebi!
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Tako možete živjeti među nama; zemlja je pred vama da se naselite, u njoj se slobodno krećete i stječete imovinu!”
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Potom Šekem reče njezinu ocu i njezinoj braći: “Da nađem milost u vašim očima, dat ću vam što zatražite.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
12 Tražite od mene koliko hoćete: sve što god zapitate dat ću, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu.”
Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
13 Jakovljevi sinovi odgovore Šekemu i njegovu ocu Hamoru - govorili su s prijevarom jer je obeščastio njihovu sestru Dinu -
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 te im rekoše: “Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo čovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.
And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 Jedino ćemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 Onda vam možemo davati svoje kćeri i uzimati vaše sebi, s vama se naseliti i biti jedan rod.
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 A ako ne pristajete na obrezanje, uzet ćemo svoju kćer i otići.”
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Hamoru i Šekemu, Hamorovu sinu, njihov se zahtjev učini povoljan.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 Mladić nije časio da zahtjev izvrši, jer je čeznuo za Jakovljevom kćeri; a bio je najuvaženiji od svih u očevu domu.
The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
20 Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem dođu u svoje gradsko vijeće i obrate se svojim sugrađanima ovako:
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 “Ovaj je svijet prijazan; neka se među nama u zemlji nasele; neka se po njoj slobodno kreću; ima dosta prostora u zemlji za njih; možemo uzimati njihove kćeri sebi za žene, a njima davati svoje.
"These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters.
22 No ljudi će pristati da među nama žive i s nama budu jedan rod samo ako se svi naši muškarci obrežu kao što su oni obrezani.
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Zar tako ne bi stoka koju su stekli, sve njihovo blago - bilo naše? Pristanimo, pa neka se među nama nasele!”
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
24 Svi odrasli muškarci koji imaju pravo izaći na gradska vrata poslušaše Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, pa bude obrezan svaki muškarac - svaki koji ima pravo izaći na gradska vrata.
All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 A trećega dana, dok su oni još bili u bolovima, dva Jakovljeva sina, Šimun i Levi, Dinina braća, pograbe svaki svoj mač i nesmetano dođu u grad te poubijaju sve muškarce.
It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26 Sasijeku mačem Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, uzmu Dinu iz Šekemove kuće i odu.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi dođu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obeščašćena.
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Što je bilo krupne i sitne stoke i magaradi, u gradu i u polju, otjeraju;
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 opljačkaju sva njihova dobra, a svu im djecu i žene - sve što je bilo po kućama - odvedu u roblje.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
30 Jakov reče Šimunu i Leviju: “Uveli ste me u nepriliku omrazivši me stanovnicima zemlje, Kanaancima i Perižanima. Ako se ujedine protiv mene i napadnu me, dok je nas ovako malo na broj, istrijebit će me s mojim domom.”
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on 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 attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
31 Oni odgovore: “Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?”
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
