Genesis 34
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Leah mah Jakob han sak pae ih canu Dinah loe to prae thung ih nongpatanawk khaeah paqaih hanah caeh.
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
To prae ukkung, Hiv acaeng Hanor capa, Shekem mah anih to hnuk naah, anih to naeh moe, iih haih pacoengah amhnongsak.
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
Anih loe poekhaih palungthin boih Jakob canu Dinah hanah paek, nongpata to a palung khruek pongah, lok kanaem ta hoiah anih to paroi.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
Shekem mah ampa Hamor khaeah, Hae nongpata hae ka zu ah na la pae ah, tiah a naa.
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
A canu Dinah to Shekem mah iih haih boeh, tito Jakob mah thaih, a caanawk loe lawk ah maitaw toep o; Jakob loe nihcae angzo ai karoek to lok apae ai ah anghngai duem.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
To naah Shekem ampa Hamor loe lokthuih hanah, Jakob khaeah caeh.
7 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 done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
Jakob ih caanawk mah to tamthang to thaih o naah, im ah amlaem o roep; Shekem loe Israel kaminawk salakah kahoih ai hmuen hoi sak koi ai hmuen ah kaom, Jakob ih canu Dinah to iih haih moeng boeh pongah, nihcae loe palungnat khue khawt ai ah, palung a phui o parai.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
Toe Hamor mah nihcae khaeah, Ka capa Shekem mah na canu hae palung khruek boeh; anih han zu ah na paek halat ah.
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Kaicae hoi zu sava ah om si, na canunawk to na paek oh loe, nangcae doeh kaicae tanuh hae la o toeng ah.
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
Kaicae khaeah khosah oh, hae prae hae nangcae han kang paongh pae; a thungah khosah oh loe, hmuenmaenawk doeh zaw oh; a thung ih hmuennawk to toep oh, tiah a naa.
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
To pacoengah Shekem mah Dinah ih ampa hoi nawkamyanawk khaeah, Hae hmuen pongah na tahmen o raeh, nang hnik o ih hmuen boih kang paek han.
12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
Avang hoi tangqum loe nazetto doeh pop nasoe, nang hnik o zetto kang paek han hmang, nongpata hae mah ka zu ah na paek oh, tiah a naa.
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Anih mah nihcae ih tanuh Dinah to zae haih boeh pongah, Jakob ih caanawk mah Shekem hoi ampa Hamor to aling o;
14 and said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
nihcae mah nihnik khaeah, Tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk khaeah, to baktih hmuen to ka sah o thai mak ai; to baktih hmuen loe kaicae han azat kathok hmuen ah ni oh;
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
toe kaicae baktih toengah, nangcae thung ih nongpa boih tangzat hin na aah o nahaeloe, na thuih ih lok to kang tapom pae o han;
16 then will we give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
to pacoengah ni kaicae ih canunawk to kang paek o moe, nangcae ih canunawk doeh ka la o toeng tih; nangcae hoi nawnto ka om o ueloe, acaeng maeto ah om tih.
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
Toe kang thuih o ih baktih toengah, tangzat hin aah han na koeh o ai nahaeloe, ka canu to ka lak o moe, ka caeh o han boeh, tiah a naa o.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
To tiah a thuih o ih lok to Hamor hoi a capa Shekem mah palung due hoi.
19 The young man did not wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
To thendoeng loe ampa imthung ah khingya o koek ih thendoeng ah oh moe, Jakob ih canu to koeh khruek pongah, nihcae mah thuih ih lok to aek ai.
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
To naah Hamor hoi a capa Shekem loe to vangpui khongkha taengah caeh hoi moe, angmacae vangpui thung ih kaminawk khaeah lok a thuih pae hoi,
21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
nihnik mah, Hae kaminawk loe angdaeh koeh kami ah oh o; aicae prae ah omsak si loe, hmuenmaenawk doeh zawsak si; khenah, nihcae han kakhawt kalen parai ahmuen doeh oh; nihcae ih canunawk to la o si loe, aicae ih canunawk doeh nihcae han paek si.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Toe nihcae loe tangzat aat kami ah oh o pongah, aicae doeh nihcae baktiah tangzat hin aah o naah ni, nihcae loe nangcae hoi nawnto om o thai tih.
23 Will not their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
Nihcae ih maitawnawk, nihcae ih hmuennawk hoi moinawk loe aicae ih hmuen ah om mak ai, tiah na poek o maw? To pongah aicae mah nihcae ih lok to paroi o halat si, to tiah ni nihcae loe aicae hoi nawnto om o tih, tiah a thuih pae hoi.
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Anih ih vangpui khongkha ah kacaeh kaminawk boih mah Hamor hoi a capa Shekem ih lok to paroi o; to pongah anih ih vangpui thungah kaom nongpanawk loe tangzat hin to aah o boih.
25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
Aahhaih ahmaa nat li haih, ni thumto naah Jakob ih caa, Dinah ih thangqoi Simeon hoi Levi loe angmah hnik ih sumsen to lak hoi moe, misahoihaih hoiah vangpui to muk hoi pacoengah nongpanawk to hum hoi boih.
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
Hamor hoi a capa Shekem to sumsen hoi a hum hoi moe, Shekem imthung ih Dinah to a lak hoi pacoengah, tacawt hoi.
27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Nihcae mah a tanuh to zae o haih pongah, Jakob ih caanawk loe kadueh kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, vangpui to phraek o.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
Tuunawk, maitawnawk, la hrangnawk, vangpui thung kaom hmuennawk hoi lawk ah kaom hmuennawk to a lak o,
29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
nihcae ih hmuennawk, nihcae ih nawktanawk hoi zunawk to naeh o boih moe, im ah kaom hmuennawk to paro pae o boih.
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled 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 strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
Jakob mah Simeon hoi Levi khaeah, Raihaih nang paek hoi boeh, Kanaan kaminawk hoi Periz kaminawk, hae prae ah kaom kaminawk khaeah panuet thok ah nang sak hoi boeh; aicae loe kami zetta, nihcae loe kai tuk hanah amkhueng o tih, kai na hum o ueloe, kaimah hoi ka imthung takoh doeh hum o boih tih boeh, tiah a naa.
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
Toe nihnik mah, Anih mah ka tanuh tangzat zaw kami baktiah sak han oh maw? tiah a naa hoi.
