< Genesis 34 >

1 One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.
روزی دینه، دختر یعقوب و لیه، برای دیدن دخترانی که در همسایگی آنها سکونت داشتند بیرون رفت.
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.
وقتی شکیم پسر حمور، پادشاه حّوی، دینه را دید او را گرفته، به وی تجاوز نمود.
3 He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.
شکیم سخت عاشق دینه شد و سعی کرد با سخنان دلنشین توجه او را به خود جلب نماید.
4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”
شکیم این موضوع را با پدر خویش در میان نهاد و از او خواهش کرد که آن دختر را برایش به زنی بگیرد.
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.
چیزی نگذشت که این خبر به گوش یعقوب رسید، ولی چون پسرانش برای چرانیدن گله‌ها به صحرا رفته بودند، تا مراجعت آنها هیچ اقدامی نکرد.
6 In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.
حمور، پدر شکیم، نزد یعقوب رفت تا با او صحبت کند.
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!”
او وقتی به آنجا رسید که پسران یعقوب نیز از صحرا برگشته بودند. ایشان از شنیدن آنچه بر سر خواهرشان آمده بود به شدت خشمگین بودند، زیرا این عملِ زشت حیثیت آنها را پایمال کرده بود.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.
حمور به یعقوب گفت: «پسرم شکیم دلباختۀ دختر شماست. خواهش می‌کنم وی را به زنی به او بدهید.
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.
علاوه بر این، می‌توانیم با هم وصلت کنیم، دختران خود را به پسران ما بدهید و دختران ما را برای پسران خود بگیرید.
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.”
شما می‌توانید میان ما ساکن شوید؛ این سرزمین به روی شما باز است! در اینجا ساکن شوید و با ما تجارت کنید. می‌توانید در این سرزمین صاحب املاک شوید.»
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.
آنگاه شکیم به پدر و برادران دینه گفت: «خواهش می‌کنم در حق من این لطف را بکنید و اجازه دهید دینه را به زنی بگیرم. هر چه به من بگویید خواهم کرد.
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.”
هر چقدر مهریه و پیشکش بخواهید به شما خواهم داد. فقط این دختر را به زنی به من بدهید.»
13 But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor
برادران دینه به خاطر این که شکیم خواهرشان را رسوا کرده بود، به نیرنگ به شکیم و پدرش گفتند:
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.
«ما نمی‌توانیم خواهر خود را به یک ختنه نشده بدهیم. این مایهٔ رسوایی ما خواهد شد.
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.
ولی به یک شرط حاضریم این کار را بکنیم، و آن شرط این است که همهٔ مردان و پسران شما ختنه شوند.
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.
آنگاه دختران خود را به شما خواهیم داد و دختران شما را برای خود خواهیم گرفت و در بین شما ساکن شده، یک قوم خواهیم بود.
17 But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”
اگر این شرط را نپذیرید و ختنه نشوید، دخترمان را برداشته از اینجا خواهیم رفت.»
18 What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
حمور و شکیم شرط آنها را پذیرفتند.
19 Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.
شکیم که در خاندان خود بسیار مورد احترام بود، در انجام این کار درنگ ننمود، زیرا عاشق دختر یعقوب بود.
20 Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,
پس او و پدرش به دروازهٔ شهر رفتند و به اهالی آنجا گفتند:
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.
«این مردم، دوستان ما هستند. اجازه دهید در میان ما ساکن شده، به کسب و کار خود مشغول شوند. زمین وسیع است و جای کافی برای آنها وجود دارد و ما و آنها می‌توانیم با هم وصلت کنیم.
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.
اما آنها فقط به این شرط حاضرند در اینجا بمانند و با ما یک قوم شوند که همۀ مردان و پسران ما مانند ایشان ختنه گردند.
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!”
اگر چنین کنیم، اموال و گله‌ها و آنچه که دارند از آن ما خواهد شد. بیایید با این شرط موافقت کنیم تا آنها در اینجا با ما زندگی کنند.»
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.
اهالی شهر پیشنهاد شکیم و پدرش را پذیرفتند و ختنه شدند.
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.
ولی سه روز بعد، در حالی که آنها هنوز درد داشتند، شمعون و لاوی، برادران دینه، شمشیرهای خود را برداشته، بدون روبرو شدن با کوچکترین مقاومتی وارد شهر شدند و تمام مردان را از دمِ شمشیر گذرانیدند.
26 They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.
آنها حمور و شکیم را کُشتند و دینه را از خانهٔ شکیم برداشته، با خود بردند.
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.
سپس پسران یعقوب رفتند و تمام شهر را غارت کردند، زیرا خواهرشان در آنجا رسوا شده بود.
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.
ایشان گله‌ها و رمه‌ها و الاغها و هر چه را که به دستشان رسید، چه در شهر و چه در صحرا،
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.
با زنان و اطفال و تمامی اموالی که در خانه‌ها بود غارت کردند و با خود بردند.
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!”
یعقوب به شمعون و لاوی گفت: «شما مرا به دردسر انداخته‌اید؛ حال کنعانی‌ها و فرّزی‌ها و تمامی ساکنان این مرزوبوم دشمن من خواهند شد. عدهٔ ما در برابر آنها ناچیز است؛ اگر آنها بر سر ما بریزند، ما را نابود خواهند کرد.»
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]
آنها با خشم جواب دادند: «آیا او می‌بایست با خواهر ما مانند یک فاحشه رفتار می‌کرد؟»
