Genesis 34
1 One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
OR Dina, figliuola di Lea, la quale ella avea partorita a Giacobbe, uscì fuori, per veder le donne del paese.
2 Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.
E Sichem, figliuolo d'Hemor, Hivveo, principe del paese, vedutala, la rapì, e si giacque con lei, e la sforzò.
3 He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
E l'animo suo si apprese a Dina, figliuola di Giacobbe; ed amò quella giovane, e la racconsolò.
4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
Poi disse ad Hemor, suo padre: Prendimi questa giovane per moglie.
5 Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.
E Giacobbe intese che [Sichem] avea contaminata Dina, sua figliuola; ed essendo i suoi figliuoli a' campi col suo bestiame, Giacobbe si tacque finchè fosser venuti.
6 In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
Ed Hemor, padre di Sichem, venne a Giacobbe, per parlar[ne] con lui.
7 While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should be done!”
E quando i figliuoli di Giacobbe ebbero inteso [il fatto], se ne vennero da' campi; e quegli uomini furono addolorati, e gravemente adirati, che [colui] avesse commessa villania in Israele, giacendosi con la figliuola di Giacobbe; il che non si conveniva fare.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
Ed Hemor parlò con loro, dicendo: Sichem, mio figliuolo, ha posto il suo amore alla figliuola [di casa] vostra; deh! dategliela per moglie.
9 Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.
Ed imparentatevi con noi; dateci le vostre figliuole, e prendetevi le nostre.
10 You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”
Ed abitate con noi; e il paese sarà a vostro comando; dimorate[vi], e trafficatevi, ed acquistate delle possessioni in esso.
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.
Sichem ancora disse al padre ed a' fratelli di essa: [Lasciate] che io trovi grazia appo voi; ed io darò ciò che mi direte.
12 Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.”
Imponetemi pur gran dote e presenti, ed io li darò, secondo che mi direte; e datemi la fanciulla per moglie.
13 But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
E i figliuoli di Giacobbe risposero a Sichem, e ad Hemor suo padre, con inganno, e [lo] trattennero con parole; perciocchè egli avea contaminata Dina, lor sorella.
14 by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.
E disser loro: Noi non possiam far questa cosa, di dar la nostra sorella ad un uomo incirconciso; perciocchè il prepuzio ci [è] cosa vituperosa.
15 We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.
Ma pur vi compiaceremo con questo, che voi siate come noi, circoncidendosi ogni maschio d'infra voi.
16 Then we will give our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.
Allora noi vi daremo le nostre figliuole, e ci prenderemo le vostre, ed abiteremo con voi, e diventeremo uno stesso popolo.
17 But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
Ma se voi non ci acconsentite di circoncide[rvi], noi prenderemo la nostra fanciulla, e ce ne andremo.
18 What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
E le lor parole piacquero ad Hemor, ed a Sichem figliuolo d'Hemor.
19 Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
E quel giovane non indugiò il far questa cosa; perciocchè egli portava affezione alla figliuola di Giacobbe; ed egli era il più onorato di tutta la casa di suo padre.
20 Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
Ed Hemor, e Sichem suo figliuolo, vennero alla porta della città, e parlarono agli uomini della lor città, dicendo:
21 “These men are friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.
Questi uomini vivono pacificamente con noi, e dimoreranno nel paese, e vi trafficheranno; ed ecco il paese [è] ampio [assai] per loro; [e] noi ci prenderemo le lor figliuole per mogli, e daremo loro le nostre.
22 But these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.
Ma pure a questi patti ci compiaceranno di abitar con noi, per diventare uno stesso popolo, che ogni maschio d'infra noi sia circonciso, siccome essi [son] circoncisi.
23 But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!”
Il lor bestiame, e le lor facoltà, e tutte le lor bestie non [saranno] elle nostre? compiacciamo pur loro, ed essi abiteranno con noi.
24 Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.
E tutti quelli che uscivano per la porta della lor città, acconsentirono loro; e ogni maschio d'infra tutti quelli che uscivano per la porta della lor città, fu circonciso.
25 On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.
E al terzo giorno, mentre essi erano in dolore, due figliuoli di Giacobbe, Simeone e Levi fratelli di Dina, presa ciascuno la sua spada, assalirono a man salva la città, ed uccisero tutti i maschi.
26 They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
Uccisero ancora Hemor e Sichem suo figliuolo, [mettendoli] a fil di spada; e presero Dina della casa di Sichem, e se ne uscirono.
27 Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.
Dopo che coloro furono uccisi, sopraggiunsero i figliuoli di Giacobbe, e predarono la città; perciocchè la lor sorella era stata contaminata.
28 They took away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.
E presero le lor gregge, e i loro armenti, e i loro asini, e ciò ch'[era] nella città e per li campi.
29 They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.
Così predarono tutte le facoltà de' Sichemiti, e tutto ciò ch' [era] nelle case, e menarono prigioni i lor piccoli figliuoli e le lor mogli.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”
E Giacobbe disse a Simeone ed a Levi: Voi mi avete messo in [gran] turbamento, rendendomi abbominevole agli abitanti di questo paese, a' Cananei, ed a' Ferezei; laonde, [avendo] io poca gente, essi si rauneranno contro a me, e mi percoteranno; e sarò distrutto io e la mia famiglia.
31 But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]
Ed essi dissero: Avrebbe egli fatto della nostra sorella come d'una meretrice?
