Ebandeli 34
1 Nzokande, Dina, mwana mwasi oyo Lea abotelaki Jakobi, abimaki mpo na kokende kotala basi ya mokili wana.
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 Tango Sishemi, mokambi ya mokili wana mpe mwana mobali ya Amori, moto ya Evi, amonaki ye, akangaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto na makasi.
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 Motema na ye emipesaki mobimba epai ya Dina, mwana mwasi ya Jakobi, alingaki ye mpe akomaki koloba na ye maloba ya bolingo.
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 Sishemi alobaki na Amori, tata na ye: « Balela ngai elenge mwasi oyo. »
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 Tango Jakobi ayokaki ete lokumu ya Dina, mwana na ye ya mwasi, ebebisami, abatelaki kimia kino bana na ye ya mibali bazongaki na ndako, pamba te bazalaki na esobe elongo na bibwele.
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 Boye, Amori, tata na Sishemi, akendeki kosolola na Jakobi.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Tango bana mibali ya Jakobi bazongaki wuta na esobe, bayokaki sango ya makambo oyo esalemaki. Bongo, bayokaki pasi mingi na mitema mpe basilikaki makasi, pamba te Sishemi asalaki likambo ya soni na Isalaele, wana asangisaki nzoto na makasi na mwana mwasi ya Jakobi. Likambo ya bongo esengelaki kosalema te.
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 Kasi Amori alobaki na bango: « Motema ya Sishemi, mwana na ngai ya mobali ezali kopela na bolingo mpo na mwana na bino ya mwasi. Nabondeli bino, bopesa ye na libala mpo na Sishemi.
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 Na bongo, bokoki kosala elongo na biso boyokani na nzela ya libala: bokobalisa biso bana na bino ya basi mpe biso tokobalisa bino bana na biso ya basi,
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 bokovanda elongo na biso. Mboka ezali liboso na bino, bovanda, bosala mombongo mpe bokoma bankolo mabele. »
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Boye, Sishemi alobaki na tata mpe na bandeko mibali ya Dina: — Tika ete nazwa ngolu na miso na bino mpe nakopesa bino nyonso oyo bokosenga ngai.
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 Bokatela ngai motuya makasi ya mbongo ya libala mpe biloko ebele ya libala; nakofuta bino eloko nyonso oyo bokosenga ngai. Kasi bopesa ngai kaka elenge mwasi oyo na libala.
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 Lokola lokumu ya Dina, ndeko mwasi na bango, ebebaki, bana mibali ya Jakobi basalelaki mayele mabe mpo na kopesa eyano epai ya Sishemi mpe tata na ye Amori.
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 Balobaki na bango: — Tokoki kosala likambo ya boye te, tokoki te kopesa na libala ndeko na biso ya mwasi epai ya mobali oyo akatama ngenga te, pamba te ezali likambo ya soni mpo na biso.
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 Tokoki kondima yango kaka soki bokomi lokola biso, soki bana na bino nyonso ya mibali bakatisi ngenga.
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 Boye biso tokopesa na libala bana na biso ya basi mpe tokozwa bana na bino ya basi na libala. Tokovanda elongo na bino mpe tokokoma libota moko.
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 Kasi soki boboyi kokatisa ngenga ndenge biso tolobi, tokozwa ndeko na biso ya mwasi mpe tokokende na biso.
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Likanisi na bango emonanaki malamu epai ya Amori mpe Sishemi, mwana na ye ya mobali.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 Lokola elenge mobali, oyo azalaki na lokumu koleka bato nyonso ya ndako ya tata na ye, alingaki mwana mwasi ya Jakobi, akokisaki na lombangu likambo oyo bayebisaki ye.
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 Boye, Amori mpe Sishemi, mwana na ye ya mobali, bakendeki na ekuke ya engumba na bango mpo na koloba na bana mboka na bango:
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 « Bato oyo bazali na boboto epai na biso; tika ete bavanda elongo na biso mpe basala mombongo, mpo ete mboka ezali na yango monene! Tokoki na biso kobala bana na bango ya basi, mpe bango bakoki na bango kobala bana na biso ya basi.
"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 Kasi mibali bakondima kovanda elongo na biso lokola bandeko ya libota moko soki kaka mibali nyonso kati na biso bakatisi ngenga lokola bango.
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 Bibwele na bango, bomengo na bango, banyama na bango nyonso; boni ekokoma ya biso te soki kaka tondimi ete bavanda elongo na biso? »
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 Boye, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kobima na ekuke ya engumba bandimaki Amori mpe mwana na ye ya mobali, Sishemi; mpe mibali nyonso bakatisaki ngenga.
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 Sima na mikolo misato, wana mibali nyonso kati na bango bazalaki nanu na pasi ya bapota, bana mibali mibale ya Jakobi, bandeko mibali ya Dina, Simeoni mpe Levi, bakamataki mipanga na bango, bakotaki na pwasa kati na engumba mpe babomaki mibali nyonso.
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 Babomaki na mopanga Amori mpe mwana na ye ya mobali Sishemi. Bakamataki Dina wuta na ndako ya Sishemi mpe bazongaki na ye.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Bana mibali mosusu ya Jakobi bayaki kosasa mibali oyo bazalaki na bapota mpe kobebisa engumba mpo ete babebisaki lokumu ya ndeko na bango ya mwasi.
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Babotolaki bangombe na bango, bameme mpe bantaba na bango, ba-ane na bango, biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na engumba mpe na bilanga.
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 Bakamataki bomengo na bango nyonso: bana, basi mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kati na bandako na bango.
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 Boye, Jakobi alobaki na Simeoni mpe na Levi: — Bopesi ngai pasi mpe bobimisi ngai moto mabe na miso ya bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi oyo bazali kovanda na mboka oyo. Biso tozali kaka moke; mpe soki basangisi makasi na bango mpo na kobundisa ngai, bakoboma ngai elongo na ndako na ngai mobimba.
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 Bango bazongisaki: — Boni, esengelaki bazwa ndeko na biso lokola mwasi ya ndumba?
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
