Semtilbu 34
1 Jacob le Leah chanu Dinah chu nikhat apot doh in hiche gam'a cheng numei khangthah hotoh kimuto din achen ahi.
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
2 Ahin hiche gam'a lengpa chapa Shechem Homar Hivite kitipa chun Dinah chu aman in aluppi tan ahi.
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
3 Ahin amapa chun ahin ngailu lheh tan, hichun aman thudihtah a kihou limpi a nopsah ding chu adei lheh tai.
And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
4 Shechem in apa Homar jah a asei tan, hiche numei nuhi neipui peh un kaji din ka deiye ati.
So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Jacob in thusoh aja tan Shechem in Dinah aluppia asuhset chu ahe tan, ahin Jacob in achate gamlah a gancha ho ching ahi jeh u chun amaho ahung lhun angah in kam chang khat jeng cha jong akeh poi.
Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent about it until they returned.
6 Hamor Shechem pachu Jacob henga kihoulim ding in ache dohtai.
Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7 Chuin Jacob chate loulam akon in ahung lhung tauvin amahon hiche thuho ajah uchun alung nommo lheh un kidang jong asa lheh uvin hatah in alunghang uvin, asopinu Dinah Shechem in asuhset na Jacob insung asuhboi chu bollou ding khat ahiye atiuve.
When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
8 Hamor in Jacob le achate aki houlim pin, aman aseiye, “Kachapa Shechem in na chanu alungset lheh jeng in ahi, lungset tah in amani chu ki chensah uhite.
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Ahithei dingle eiho chate kila tou hite, kei hon nangho chanu ho kipui uving kating, keima ho chanute ho jong nangho chapate ho din kipui un ati.
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Hiche gamsunga hi ichen khom theiyu ahi, chule khosa uvin bolthei toh thei tong un, na nop chanu neile gou jong na kilam theiyu ahi.”
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
11 Shechem chu Dinah sopiho le apa jah a ataotan, “Lungset tah in nei khotou vin, ahithei ding le kaji din kaki pui nom e chule nangma hon na thum channu chu keiman ka peh ding na hiuve.”
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12 Numei nu chu kaji dinga nei peh pou ule keiman ipi thilpeh hijongle suhto thei ding alen aneo hileh kapeh ding ahi ati.
Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
13 Hinlah Shechem in Dinah ana luppi a asuhset tah jeh chun Jacob chate chun Hamor le achapa Shechem chu lungpha lou tah in ahoulimpi tauve.
But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14 Amahon adonbut un, “Hiche hi keima ho moh nop lhah thei ka hi pouve, Ajeh chu nangho hi chep tanlou na hiuvin, ka sopinu'u nanghon nakipui dingu chu keiho dinga jachat umtah khat hung hi ding ahi.
“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
15 Hinlah kihou cham theina khat vang aum'e, hichu ahileh na pasal ho jouse achep na tan thei diu le atiuve.
We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
16 Hiche teng chule ka chanu teho'u kapeh theiyu, chule nang ho chanu ho jong keima hon jong kaki pui thei dingu ahi atiuve.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
17 Ahin nangho pasal hon acheptan ding anop lou ule ka sopinu'u ka peh theilou dingu ahi atiuve.
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
18 Hamor le achapa Shechem chun amaho thilgon chu pha asa lhon in ahi.
Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Shechem chu alunglhai lheh in bol ding ho chu agei sang tapon, ajeh chu Dinah Jacob chanu adei behset jeh chun Shechem chu amaho insung milah a jathei umdol tah khat ahi.
The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
20 Chuin Hamor le achapa Shechem khopi kelkot a ahung lhon in mipi ho laha aki hou na'u kinop tona ho chu ahung phong doh lhon in hitin asei lhon in ahi.
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
21 Ama nin aphong doh lhon in hiche miho hi mipha eiho mi ahi ati lhon e, veuvin gam jong lentah enei uvin amaho chenna thei ding, amaho toh chengkhom uhitin, bolthei thei bol uhitin, eihon jong amaho chanute ijon thei ding'u chule amahon jong eiho chanute aki chenpi thei dingu ahi,” ati.
“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.
22 Amaho toh eiho ichen khom thei na diuvin thil khat aum e, hichu ahileh eiho pasal jouse amaho banga chep ekitan tengu le ichen khom thei ding'u ahi.
But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.
23 Hinlah thilpha khat ihet dingu chu ichen khom tengule, agancha hou, anei agou hou jouse aboncha a eiho a hung hithei ahi. Hijeh chun amahon adei atup ho chu bolpeh leuhen amaho jong eiho lah a chen ding tha nom tah a hung cheng diu ahi tai.
Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”
24 Hichun khopi sunga cheng aching athem jouse Hamor le achapa Shechem thupeh chu anom cheh tauvin, chule pasal jousen achep akitan soh hel tauvin ahi.
All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.
25 Ahin nithum jou don chun amaho cheptan na maha jong damtheng loulai in Jacob chateni Simon le Levi a sopinu Dinah toh peng khom teni chu ahung kon lhon in hiche khopi sunga pasal jouse chemjam in asat lih lhontan ahi.
Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.
26 Hiche athi ho lah achun Hamor le achapa Shechem jong ajao lhon tai, Hichun Dinah chu Shechem in muna kon in amaho inlam a ahin pui lhon tan ahi.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Phat chomkhat jou in Jacob chate ho ahung lhung cheh tauvin, amahon khopi sunga mipi athi amang akithat ho chu asopinu u ki suhthang na khopi chu achom theng hel uve.
Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 Amahon akelngoi hou ahin, abongchal hou chule sangan ho jouse phaicham khopi sungle tollhang a thil keo jouse akilah tauve.
They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
29 Anei agou jouse jong alah peh soh keijun, amaho jite chate jong alah peh un, amaho hetkhah nalouva apui mang tauve.
They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
30 Jacob in phat chomkhat jouvin Simon le Levi koma hitin aseiye, “Keima hi neisuh mang lhon ahi tai, hiche gam mite le Canaan mite le Perizzites mite koma hin ka namse in ka ui lheh tai. chule eiho lhomcha ihiuvin amaho ahung kihou toh tengule eiho eisuh mang dingu ahi. keima kahin ka insung pumpi kaki chai helding ahitai,” ati.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 Ama hon lung hang tah in asei jun, “Ipi bol'a chu isopinu u chu numei kijoh banga abolset ham?” atiuve.
But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
