< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
E saiu Dinah filha de Leah, que parira a Jacob, para ver as filhas da terra.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
E Sichem filho de Hemor heveu, príncipe daquela terra, viu-a, e tomou-a, e deitou-se com ela, e humilhou-a.
3 And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
E apegou-se a sua alma com Dinah filha de Jacob, e amou a moça e falou afetuosamente à moça.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife.
Falou também Sichem a Hemor seu pai, dizendo: Toma-me esta por mulher.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they had come.
Quando Jacob ouviu que contaminara a Dinah sua filha, estavam os seus filhos no campo com o gado; e calou-se Jacob até que viessem.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
E saiu Hemor pai de Sichem a Jacob, para falar com ele.
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
E vieram os filhos de Jacob do campo, ouvindo isso, e entristeceram-se os varões, e iraram-se muito, porquanto fizera doidice em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacob; o que não se devia fazer assim.
8 And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife.
Então falou Hemor com eles, dizendo: A alma de Sichem meu filho está namorada da vossa filha; dai-lha, peço-te, por mulher;
9 And make ye marriages with us, give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
E aparentai-vos conosco, dai-nos as vossas filhas, e tomai as nossas filhas para vós;
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye in it, and get you possessions in it.
E habitareis conosco; e a terra estará diante da vossa face: habitai e negociai nela, e tomai possessão nela.
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.
E disse Sichem ao pai dela, e aos irmãos dela: Ache eu graça em vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes:
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me: but give me the damsel for a wife.
Aumentai muito sobre mim o dote e a dádiva, e darei o que me disserdes; dai-me somente a moça por mulher.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
Então responderam os filhos de Jacob a Sichem e a Hemor seu pai enganosamente, e falaram, porquanto havia contaminado a Dinah sua irmã.
14 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach to us:
E disseram-lhes: Não podemos fazer isso, que déssemos a nossa irmã a um varão não circuncidado; porque isso seria uma vergonha para nós;
15 But in this will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you shall be circumcised;
Nisso, porém, consentiremos a vós: se fordes como nós, que se circuncide todo o macho entre vós
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.
Então dar-vos-emos as nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas filhas, e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo;
17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
Mas se não nos ouvirdes, e não vos circuncidardes, tomaremos a nossa filha e ir-nos-emos.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
E suas palavras foram boas aos olhos de Hemor, e aos olhos de Sichem filho de Hemor.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
E não tardou o mancebo em fazer isto; porque a filha de Jacob lhe contentava: e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
Veio pois Hemor e Sichem seu filho à porta da sua cidade, e falaram aos varões da sua cidade, dizendo:
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Estes varões são pacíficos conosco; portanto habitarão nesta terra, e negociarão nela; eis que a terra é larga de espaço diante da sua face: tomaremos nós as suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas filhas
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us shall be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Nisto, porém, consentirão aqueles varões, de habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo, se todo o macho entre nós se circuncidar, como eles são circuncidados.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
O seu gado, as suas possessões, e todos os seus animais não serão nossos? consintamos somente com eles, e habitarão conosco.
24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
E deram ouvidos a Hemor, e a Sichem seu filho todos os que saiam da porta da cidade; e foi circuncidado todo o macho, de todos os que saiam pela porta da sua cidade.
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 man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
E aconteceu que, ao terceiro dia, quando estavam com a mais violenta dor, os dois filhos de Jacob, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Dinah, tomaram cada um a sua espada, e entraram afoitamente na cidade, e mataram todo o macho.
26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
Mataram também ao fio da espada a Hemor, e a seu filho Sichem; e tomaram a Dinah da casa de Sichem, e sairam.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Vieram os filhos de Jacob aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto contaminaram a sua irmã.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their donkeys, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
As suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e os seus jumentos, e o que na cidade, e o que no campo havia, tomaram,
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
E toda a sua fazenda, e todos os seus meninos, e as suas mulheres levaram presas, e despojaram-as, e tudo o que havia em casa.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Então disse Jacob a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me turbado, fazendo-me cheirar mal entre os moradores desta terra, entre os Cananeus e Phereseus, sendo eu pouco povo em número; ajuntar-se-ão, e ficarei destruído, eu e minha casa.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
E eles disseram: Faria pois ele a nossa irmã como a uma prostituta?
