Genesis 34
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Egressa est autem Dina filia Liæ ut videret mulieres regionis illius.
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
Quam cum vidisset Sichem filius Hemor Hevæi, princeps terræ illius, adamavit eam: et rapuit, et dormivit cum illa, vi opprimens virginem.
3 And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.
Et conglutinata est anima ejus cum ea, tristemque delinivit blanditiis.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.
Et pergens ad Hemor patrem suum: Accipe, inquit, mihi puellam hanc conjugem.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.
Quod cum audisset Jacob absentibus filiis, et in pastu pecorum occupatis, siluit donec redirent.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.
Egresso autem Hemor patre Sichem ut loqueretur ad Jacob,
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard [it]; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
ecce filii ejus veniebant de agro: auditoque quod acciderat, irati sunt valde, eo quod fœdam rem operatus esset in Israël et, violata filia Jacob, rem illicitam perpetrasset.
8 And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.
Locutus est itaque Hemor ad eos: Sichem filii mei adhæsit anima filiæ vestræ: date eam illi uxorem:
9 And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
et jungamus vicissim connubia: filias vestras tradite nobis, et filias nostras accipite,
10 And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.
et habitate nobiscum: terra in potestate vestra est: exercete, negotiamini, et possidete eam.
11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes; and what ye shall say to me I will give.
Sed et Sichem ad patrem et ad fratres ejus ait: Inveniam gratiam coram vobis: et quæcumque statueritis, dabo:
12 Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife.
augete dotem, et munera postulate, et libenter tribuam quod petieritis: tantum date mihi puellam hanc uxorem.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke — because he had defiled Dinah their sister —
Responderunt filii Jacob Sichem et patri ejus in dolo, sævientes ob stuprum sororis:
14 and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach to us.
Non possumus facere quod petitis, nec dare sororem nostram homini incircumciso: quod illicitum et nefarium est apud nos.
15 But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;
Sed in hoc valebimus fœderari, si volueritis esse similes nostri, et circumcidatur in vobis omne masculini sexus;
16 then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.
tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias vestras ac nostras: et habitabimus vobiscum, erimusque unus populus.
17 But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.
Si autem circumcidi nolueritis, tollemus filiam nostram, et recedemus.
18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Placuit oblatio eorum Hemor, et Sichem filio ejus,
19 And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father.
nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret: amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Ingressique portam urbis, locuti sunt ad populum:
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land — behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters.
Viri isti pacifici sunt, et volunt habitare nobiscum: negotientur in terra, et exerceant eam, quæ spatiosa et lata cultoribus indiget: filias eorum accipiemus uxores, et nostras illis dabimus.
22 But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people — if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.
Unum est quo differtur tantum bonum: si circumcidamus masculos nostros, ritum gentis imitantes.
23 Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
Et substantia eorum, et pecora, et cuncta quæ possident, nostra erunt: tantum in hoc acquiescamus, et habitantes simul, unum efficiemus populum.
24 And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised — all that went out at the gate of his city.
Assensique sunt omnes, circumcisis cunctis maribus.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Et ecce, die tertio, quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est: arreptis duo filii Jacob, Simeon et Levi fratres Dinæ, gladiis, ingressi sunt urbem confidenter: interfectisque omnibus masculis,
26 And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.
Hemor et Sichem pariter necaverunt, tollentes Dinam de domo Sichem sororem suam.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Quibus egressis, irruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Jacob: et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri.
28 Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what [was] in the city, and what [was] in the field they took;
Oves eorum, et armenta, et asinos, cunctaque vastantes quæ in domibus et in agris erant,
29 and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses.
parvulos quoque eorum et uxores duxerunt captivas.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land — among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Quibus patratis audacter, Jacob dixit ad Simeon et Levi: Turbastis me, et odiosum fecistis me Chananæis, et Pherezæis habitatoribus terræ hujus: nos pauci sumus; illi congregati percutient me, et delebor ego, et domus mea.
31 And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
Responderunt: Numquid ut scorto abuti debuere sorore nostra?
