1 Diinaan intalli Liyaan Yaaqoobiif deesse sun dubartoota biyyattii ilaaluudhaaf gad baate.
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 Sheekem ilmi Hamoor namicha gosa Hiiwii kan bulchaa biyya sanaa ture ishee arge; innis qabee humnaan ishee gudeede.
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 Qalbiin isaas Diinaa intala Yaaqoobiin fudhatame; innis ishee jaallatee afaan tolaa itti dubbate.
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 Sheekemis abbaa isaa Hamooriin, “Intala kana na fuusisi” jedhe.
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 Yaaqoob yommuu intalli isaa Diinaan akka gudeedamte dhagaʼetti, ilmaan isaa dirree irra horii tiksu turan; kanaafuu Yaaqoob hamma isaan galanitti ni calʼise.
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 Hamoor abbaan Sheekemis Yaaqoob wajjin dubbachuu dhaqe.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis akkuma waan uumame sana dhagaʼaniin dirreedhaa dhufan. Isaanis sababii Sheekem intala Yaaqoob wajjin ciisuudhaan Israaʼel keessatti waan jibbisiisaa hojjeteef ni gaddan; akka malees aaran.
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 Hamoor garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Qalbiin ilma koo Sheekem intala keessan irra buʼeera. Maaloo isatti ishee heerumsiisaa.
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 Fuudhaa fi heerumaan walitti firoomnaa; intallan keessan nuu kennaa; intallan keenyas fuudhaa.
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Nu wajjin jiraadhaa; biyyattiin fuula keessan dura jirti; keessa jiraadhaatii itti daldalaa; qabeenyas itti horadhaa.”
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Sheekemis abbaa Diinaatii fi obboloota isheetiin akkana jedhe; “Ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argannaan waanuma isin naan jettan isiniif nan kenna.
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 Isinis gabbara misirrittiitii fi kennaa ani fiduu qabu hamma feetan natti muraa; anis waan isin naan jettan nan baasa. Intalattii qofa natti heerumsiisaa.”
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 Ilmaan Yaaqoob immoo waan Sheekem obboleettii isaanii Diinaa gudeedeef yeroo Sheekemii fi abbaa isaa Hamooriif deebii kennanitti haxxummaadhaan dubbatan.
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 Isaanis akkana isaaniin jedhan; “Nu waan akkanaa gochuu hin dandeenyu; nu nama dhagna hin qabatiniif intala keenya kennuu hin dandeenyu. Kun nuuf salphina.
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 Nu waan tokko qofaan tole isiniin jenna; kunis yoo isin dhiira keessan hunda dhagna qabdanii akkuma keenya taatanii dha.
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 Ergasii nu intallan keenya isinii kennina; intallan keessan immoo ni fuuna. Gidduu keessan ni jiraanna; isin wajjinis saba tokko ni taana.
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 Garuu yoo isin dhagna qabachuu diddan nu obboleettii keenya fudhannee deemna.”
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Dubbiin isaanii Hamoorii fi Sheekem ilma Hamoor ni gammachiise.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 Sheekem namoota mana abbaa isaa jiraatan hunda caalaa kabajamaa ture; inni sababii intala Yaaqoobitti gammadeef waan kana lafa irra hin harkifne;
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 Hamoorii fi ilmi isaa Sheekem gara karra magaalaa isaanii dhufanii namoota magaalaa isaaniitiin akkana jedhan;
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 “Jarri kun nuuf warra nagaa ti; kanaafuu biyyattii keessa jiraatanii itti haa daldalatan. Biyyattiin isaaniif lafa balʼaa qabdi; nu intallan isaanii haa fuunu; isaanis intallan keenya haa fuudhan.
"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 Garuu namoonni kunneen akka saba tokkootti nu wajjin jiraachuuf tole kan jedhan yoo dhiironni keenya akkuma isaanii dhagna qabatan qofa.
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 Loon isaanii, qabeenyi isaaniitii fi horiin isaanii kaan hundinuu kanuma keenya hin taʼanii? Kanaafuu kottaa tole isaaniin jennaa; isaanis nu wajjin ni jiraatu.”
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 Namoonni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuu Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemiin walii galan; dhiironni karra magaalaa sanaatiin gad baʼan hundinuus dhagna qabatan.
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 Guyyaa sadii booddee utuma isaan dhukkubsachaa jiranuu, ilmaan Yaaqoobii keessaa namni lama Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin, obboloonni Diinaa, goraadee isaanii fudhatanii magaalaa homaa quba hin qabne sana dhaʼanii dhiira hunda ajjeesan.
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 Isaanis goraadeedhaan Hamoorii fi ilma isaa Sheekemin ajjeesanii Diinaa immoo mana Sheekemiitii fudhatanii qajeelan.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Ilmaan Yaaqoobis reeffawwan irra darbanii magaalaa obboleettiin isaanii itti gudeedamte sana saaman.
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Isaanis bushaayee isaanii, loon isaanii, harroota isaaniitii fi waan isaan magaalaa keessaa fi alaa qaban hunda fudhatan.
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 Qabeenya isaanii hunda, dubartootaa fi ijoollee isaanii hunda fudhatanii deeman; waan mana keessa jiru hundas ni boojiʼan.
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 Yaaqoobis Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Isin akka ani Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzota biyya kana jiraatanitti xireeffatamu gochuudhaan rakkoo natti fiddan. Nu baayʼinaan xinnoo dha; yoo isaan humna walitti dabalatanii na lolan anii fi warri mana koo hundinuu ni dhumna.”
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 Isaan garuu, “Yoos inni akkuma sagaagaltuu tokkootti obboleettii keenyatti haa taphatuu ree?” jedhanii deebisan.
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
