Postanak 34
1 Dina, kći koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziđe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.
Dinah, the daughter of Leah [Weary], whom she bore to Jacob [Supplanter], went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.
Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite [Wicked], the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kćer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojčino srce.
His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob [Supplanter], and he 'ahav ·affectionately loved· the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
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 lady as a 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 [Supplanter] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob [Supplanter] held his peace 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 [Supplanter] to talk 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 [Supplanter] came in from the field when they sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel [God prevails] in lying with Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter; a thing ought not to 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 soul of my son, Shechem, has chasak ·set his affection· 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!
Make 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 shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions 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 chen ·grace· in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12 Tražite od mene koliko hoćete: sve što god zapitate dat ću, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu.”
Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady 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 [Supplanter] answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 te im rekoše: “Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo čovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.
and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15 Jedino ćemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.
Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
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 us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 A ako ne pristajete na obrezanje, uzet ćemo svoju kćer i otići.”
But if you will not sh'ma ·hear obey· unto us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
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 didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob [Supplanter]’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20 Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem dođu u svoje gradsko vijeće i obrate se svojim sugrađanima ovako:
Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with 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 peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, 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 consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is 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 give our consent to them, and they will dwell with 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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed· to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; 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.
On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons, Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon 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 Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi dođu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obeščašćena.
Jacob [Supplanter]’s sons came on 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, that which was in the city, that which 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 house.
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 [Supplanter] said to Simeon [Hearing] and Levi [United with], “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] and the Perizzites [Descendants of Belonging to village]. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Oni odgovore: “Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?”
They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
