< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Dina, Lejina hči, ki jo je rodila Jakobu, pa je odšla, da pogleda hčere dežele.
2 And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
Ko jo je zagledal Sihem, sin Hivéjca Hamórja, princ dežele, jo je vzel in legel z njo ter jo omadeževal.
3 And his soul did cleave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke comfortingly unto the damsel.
Njegova duša se je pridružila k Jakobovi hčeri Dini in ljubil je gospodično in gospodični prijazno govoril.
4 And Shechem spoke unto his father Hamor, saying: 'Get me this damsel to wife.'
Sihem je spregovoril svojemu očetu Hamórju, rekoč: »Pridobi mi to gospodično za ženo.«
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field; and Jacob held his peace until they came.
Jakob je slišal, da je omadeževal njegovo hčer Dino. Torej njegovi sinovi so bili z živino na polju in Jakob je ohranil svoj mir, dokler niso prišli.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to speak with him.
Sihemov oče Hamór je odšel k Jakobu, da se z njim posvetuje.
7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought a vile deed in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
Ko so to slišali Jakobovi sinovi, so prišli s polja. Možje so bili užaloščeni in zelo ogorčeni, ker je storil neumnost v Izraelu, ležeč z Jakobovo hčerjo, katera stvar se sploh ne bi smela zgoditi.
8 And Hamor spoke with them, saying 'The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter. I pray you give her unto him to wife.
Hamór se je z njimi posvetoval, rekoč: »Duša mojega sina Sihema hrepeni za vašo hčerjo. Prosim vas, dajte mu jo za ženo.
9 And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
Poročajte se z nami in svoje hčere dajajte nam in jemljite naše hčere k vam.
10 And ye shall dwell with us; and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.'
Prebivali boste z nami in dežela bo pred vami. Prebivajte in trgujte v njej in si pridobite posesti v njej.«
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren: 'Let me find favour in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
Sihem je rekel njenemu očetu in njenim bratom: »Naj najdem milost v vaših očeh in kar mi boste rekli, bom dal.
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.'
Prosite me kolikorkoli veliko doto in darilo in bom dal, če mi boste rekli, toda dajte mi gospodično za ženo.«
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Jakobovi sinovi pa so Sihemu in njegovemu očetu Hamórju varljivo odgovorili ter rekli, ker je omadeževal njihovo sestro Dino.
14 and said unto them: 'We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us.
Rekli so jima: »Ne moremo storiti te stvari, da damo svojo sestro nekomu, ki je neobrezan, kajti to bi nam bil očitek.
15 Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
Toda v tem se bomo strinjali z vami, če boste, kakor smo mi, da bo vsak moški izmed vas obrezan,
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.
potem vam bomo dajali svoje hčere in vaše hčere jemali k nam in prebivali bomo z vami in postali bomo eno ljudstvo.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.'
Toda če nam ne boste prisluhnili, da bi bili obrezani, potem bomo vzeli svojo hčer in odšli.«
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Njihove besede so ugajale Hamórju in Hamórjevemu sinu Sihemu.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honoured above all the house of his father.
Mladenič ni odlašal storiti stvari, ker je imel veselje v Jakobovi hčeri. Bil pa je bolj častitljiv kakor vsa hiša njegovega očeta.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:
Hamór in njegov sin Sihem sta prišla k velikim vratom njihovega mesta in se posvetovala z možmi njihovega mesta, rekoč:
21 'These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; 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.
»Ti ljudje so z nami miroljubni, zato naj prebivajo v deželi in v njej trgujejo, kajti dežela, glejte, ta je dovolj velika zanje. Jemljimo si njihove hčere za žene in dajajmo jim svoje hčere.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Samo v tem se bodo možje strinjali z nami, da prebivajo z nami, da bi bili eno ljudstvo, če bo vsak moški izmed nas obrezan, kakor so obrezani oni.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.'
Ali ne bo njihova živina in njihovo imetje in vsaka njihova žival naša? Naj se samo strinjamo z njimi in bodo prebivali z nami.«
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.
Hamórju in njegovemu sinu Sihemu so prisluhnili vsi, ki so odšli od velikih vrat tega mesta, in vsak moški je bil obrezan, vsi, ki so šli od velikih vrat njegovega mesta.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.
Pripetilo pa se je na tretji dan, ko so bili občutljivi, da sta dva izmed Jakobovih sinov, Simeon in Lévi, Dinina brata, vzela vsak svoj meč in predrzno prišla nad mesto in usmrtila vse njihove moške.
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 forth.
Usmrtila sta Hamórja in njegovega sina Sihema z ostrino meča, Dino pa vzela iz Sihemove hiše ter odšla.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Jakobovi sinovi so prišli na umorjene in oplenili mesto, ker so omadeževali njihovo sestro.
28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
Vzeli so njihove ovce, njihove vole, njihove osle in to, kar je bilo v mestu in to, kar je bilo na polju.
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.
Vse njihovo premoženje, vse njihove malčke in vse njihove žene so ujeli in oplenili celo vse, kar je bilo v hiši.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: 'Ye have troubled me, to make me odious unto the inhabitants of the land, even unto the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.'
Jakob je rekel Simeonu in Léviju: »Privedla sta me v neprijeten položaj, da zaudarjam med prebivalci dežele, med Kánaanci in Perizéjci. Jaz sem maloštevilen, oni pa se bodo zbrali zoper mene in me ubili, in jaz bom uničen, jaz in moja hiša.«
31 And they said: 'Should one deal with our sister as with a harlot?'
Rekli so: »Naj bi z našo sestro postopal kakor s pocestnico?«
