Postanak 34
1 Dina, kći koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziđe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.
Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.
2 Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.
And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of that land, had seen her, he fell in love with her. And so he seized her and slept with her, overwhelming the virgin by force.
3 Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kćer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojčino srce.
And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.
4 Šekem je govorio i svom ocu Hamoru: “Onu mi djevojku uzmi za ženu!”
And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
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.
But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.
6 Uto dođe k Jakovu Šekemov otac Hamor da se s njim sporazumije,
Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
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.
behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.
8 Hamor im reče. “Moj se sin Šekem svom dušom zaljubio u vašu kćer. Dajte mu je za ženu!
And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.
9 Oprijateljite se s nama: dajite nam svoje kćeri, a naše kćeri uzimajte sebi!
And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
10 Tako možete živjeti među nama; zemlja je pred vama da se naselite, u njoj se slobodno krećete i stječete imovinu!”
And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
11 Potom Šekem reče njezinu ocu i njezinoj braći: “Da nađem milost u vašim očima, dat ću vam što zatražite.
And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.
12 Tražite od mene koliko hoćete: sve što god zapitate dat ću, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu.”
Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl 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 answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
14 te im rekoše: “Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo čovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.
“We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.
15 Jedino ćemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.
But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.
16 Onda vam možemo davati svoje kćeri i uzimati vaše sebi, s vama se naseliti i biti jedan rod.
Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live 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 be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”
18 Hamoru i Šekemu, Hamorovu sinu, njihov se zahtjev učini povoljan.
Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 Mladić nije časio da zahtjev izvrši, jer je čeznuo za Jakovljevom kćeri; a bio je najuvaženiji od svih u očevu domu.
Neither did the young man cause any delay; in fact he immediately fulfilled what was requested. For he loved the girl very much, and he was well-known throughout his father’s house.
20 Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem dođu u svoje gradsko vijeće i obrate se svojim sugrađanima ovako:
And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:
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, and they want to live among us. Let them trade in the land and cultivate it, for, being spacious and broad, it is in need of cultivation. We will receive their daughters as wives, and we will give them ours.
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.
There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.
23 Zar tako ne bi stoka koju su stekli, sve njihovo blago - bilo naše? Pristanimo, pa neka se među nama nasele!”
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, will be ours, if only we will acquiesce to this, and so, in living together, will form one people.”
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.
And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.
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.
And behold, on the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, boldly entered the city with swords. And they put to death all of the males.
26 Sasijeku mačem Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, uzmu Dinu iz Šekemove kuće i odu.
They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.
27 Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi dođu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obeščašćena.
And when they had departed, the other sons of Jacob rushed over the slain, and they plundered the city in vengeance for the rape.
28 Što je bilo krupne i sitne stoke i magaradi, u gradu i u polju, otjeraju;
Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,
29 opljačkaju sva njihova dobra, a svu im djecu i žene - sve što je bilo po kućama - odvedu u roblje.
they also took their little ones and their wives captive.
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.”
When they had boldly completed these acts, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: “You have troubled me, and you have made me hateful to the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few. They, gathering themselves together, may strike me down, and then both I and my house will be wiped away.”
31 Oni odgovore: “Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?”
They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”
