Genesis 34
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Entonces Dina, la hija que Lea dio a luz a Jacob, salió a ver a las hijas de aquella tierra.
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
Siquem, hijo de Hamor, el heveo príncipe de aquella tierra, la miró y la tomó. Se unió a ella y la deshonró.
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
Pero su alma se apegó a Dina, hija de Jacob. Se enamoró de la muchacha y habló amorosamente a la joven.
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
Siquem habló a su padre Hamor: Tómame a esta jovencita para que sea mi esposa.
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.
Jacob oyó que Siquem contaminó a su hija Dina. Pero como sus hijos estaban con su ganado en el campo, Jacob guardó silencio hasta cuando ellos llegaran.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
Entonces Hamor, padre de Siquem, salió para hablar con Jacob.
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.
Cuando los hijos de Jacob regresaron del campo y lo supieron, aquellos varones se airaron. Se enardecieron muchísimo, porque Siquem hizo una vileza en Israel con la hija de Jacob, lo cual no se debía hacer.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
Pero Hamor habló con ellos y les dijo: El alma de mi hijo Siquem se apegó a la hija de ustedes. Les ruego que se la den para que sea su esposa.
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
Emparenten con nosotros. Dennos sus hijas y tomen nuestras hijas para ustedes.
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
Vivan con nosotros. La tierra está delante de ustedes. Vivan y negocien y adquieran posesión en ella.
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favour in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
Y Siquem dijo al padre de ella y a sus hermanos: Halle yo gracia ante ustedes, y daré lo que me digan.
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.”
Aumenten mucha dote y regalos a mi cargo, que yo daré cuanto me digan, pero denme la muchacha para que sea mi esposa.
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Los hijos de Jacob respondieron con doblez a Siquem y a Hamor su padre, porque Siquem violó a su hermana Dina.
14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
Les dijeron: No podemos hacer esto de dar nuestra hermana a un hombre que tenga prepucio, porque es afrenta para nosotros.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
Solo con esto los consentiremos: que sean como nosotros, al circuncidar todo varón de ustedes.
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.
Entonces les daremos nuestras hijas y tomaremos las de ustedes. Viviremos con ustedes y seremos un pueblo.
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
Pero si no aceptan circuncidarse, entonces tomaremos nuestra hija y nos iremos.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
Las palabras de ellos parecieron buenas a Hamor y a Siquem, hijo de Hamor.
19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honoured above all the house of his father.
No demoró el joven en hacerlo, porque se deleitaba con la hija de Jacob. Él era el más distinguido de toda la casa de su padre.
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
Hamor y su hijo Siquem fueron a la puerta de su ciudad y hablaron a los hombres de su ciudad:
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.
Estos hombres son pacíficos con nosotros. Vivirán en la tierra y negociarán en ella. Pues miren, la tierra es bastante amplia para ellos. Tomaremos sus hijas para que sean nuestras esposas, y les daremos nuestras hijas.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male amongst us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Pero solo con esto consentirán en vivir con nosotros para ser un pueblo: que todo varón nuestro sea circuncidado, así como ellos son circuncidados.
23 Won’t 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.”
¿Entonces no serán nuestros su ganado, sus bienes y todos sus animales? Solo convengamos con ellos, y vivirán con nosotros.
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.
Todos los que salían por la puerta de su ciudad obedecieron a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, y circuncidaron a todo varón que salía por la puerta de su ciudad.
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.
Aconteció al tercer día, cuando ellos estaban más adoloridos, que dos de los hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, después de tomar cada uno su espada, salieron contra la ciudad desprevenida y asesinaron a todos los varones.
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.
Asesinaron a filo de espada a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, sacaron a Dina de la casa de Siquem y salieron.
27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Los hijos de Jacob pasaron sobre los muertos y saquearon la ciudad, por cuanto violaron a su hermana.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
Tomaron sus ovejas, su ganado vacuno y sus asnos, lo que estaba en la ciudad, lo que estaba en el campo
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.
y toda su hacienda. Se llevaron cautivas a todas sus criaturas y sus mujeres, y saquearon todo lo que había en las casas.
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, amongst 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.”
Entonces Jacob dijo a Simeón y a Leví: Ustedes me arruinaron al hacer que yo sea odioso ante los habitantes de esta tierra, el cananeo y el ferezeo. Por cuanto tengo pocos hombres, se juntarán contra mí y me atacarán. Yo y mi casa seremos exterminados.
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
Pero dijeron ellos: ¿Debía él tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?
