Jenèz 34
1 Dena, pitit fi Leya te fè pou Jakòb la, te soti al rann medam peyi a vizit.
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.
2 Lè sa a, Sichèm, pitit Amò, moun Evi a, te chèf nan kanton an. Lè li wè Dena, li mete men sou li, li fè kadejak sou li.
When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land, saw her, he grabbed her, and raped her, and humiliated her.
3 Men Sichèm te tonbe damou pou Dena, pitit fi Jakòb la. Li te pale dous ak tifi a, paske li te renmen l'.
Then he became very attached to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
4 Sichèm di Amò, papa l': -Al mande pou fi sa a pou mwen.
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as my wife."
5 Jakòb vin konnen Sichèm te fè kadejak sou Dena, pitit fi li a. Men, paske pitit gason l' yo te nan savann ak bèt yo, li pa di anyen jouk lè yo tounen.
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob remained silent until they came.
6 Amò, papa Sichèm, ale bò kot Jakòb pou fè yon pale sou sa avè l'.
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 Lè sa a, pitit gason Jakòb yo t'ap tounen soti nan savann. Lè yo pran nouvèl la, yo te move, yo te fache anpil, paske Sichèm te fè yon bagay grav: li te avili moun Izrayèl yo lè l' te fè kadejak sou pitit fi Jakòb la. Bagay konsa pa t' dwe fèt.
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 disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter; a thing that should not be done.
8 Amò di yo konsa: -Pitit gason m' lan, Sichèm, fin fou pou fi nou an. Tanpri, kite li marye avè l'.
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem is set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Ann pase kontra yonn ak lòt pou nou zanmi. n'a ban nou nan pitit fi nou yo pou madanm pitit gason nou yo. n'a pran nan pitit fi nou yo pou madanm pitit gason nou yo.
Arrange marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Konsa n'a rete ansanm ak nou nan peyi a. n'a rete kote nou vle, n'a fè kòmès jan nou vle, n'a achte tè nou vle.
You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Apre sa, Sichèm di papa ak frè Dena yo: -Fè m' favè sa a, tanpri. m'a ban nou tout sa nou vle.
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you ask of me I will give.
12 Di m' kisa pou m' fè nou kado. Nou mèt mande m' nenpòt ki gwo pri pou maryaj la. M'ap ban nou tout sa n'a mande m'. Men, se pou nou dakò. Kite m' marye ak fi a.
Ask me for a very expensive bride price, and I will pay whatever you ask of me, but give me the young woman as a wife."
13 Men pitit gason Jakòb yo bay Sichèm ak Amò, papa li, yon repons pou woule yo. Paske Sichèm te avili sè yo a, yo t'ap pare yon move kou pou yo.
The sons of Jacob replied deceitfully to Shechem and his father Hamor, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14 Yo di yo: -Nou pa ka kite sè nou an marye ak yon nonm ki pa sikonsi. Se va yon avilisman pou nou.
And they said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace to us.
15 N'ap dakò nan yon sèl kondisyon. Se pou nou vin menm jan ak nou, se pou tout gason nan kanton an sikonsi tankou nou.
Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you become like us by circumcising all your males;
16 Lè sa a atò, n'a kite sè nou an marye avè ou. Nou menm tout n'a ka marye ak pitit fi ou yo. n'a rete nan peyi a ansanm ansanm, n'a tounen yon sèl pèp.
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 Men, si nou pa dakò ak kondisyon sa a, si nou pa vle pou yo sikonsi nou, n'ap pran sè nou an, epi nou pral fè wout nou.
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go away."
18 Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, tonbe dakò ak yo pou kondisyon an.
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 Se konsa jenn gason an te prese fè sa yo te mande l' fè a, paske li te renmen pitit fi Jakòb la anpil. tout moun kay papa l' te konsidere l' anpil.
The young man did not delay to do this thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most important of anyone in his father's house.
20 Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, al nan pòtay lavil la, kote tout moun yo te konn reyini, yo pale ak moun peyi a. Yo di yo:
Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 -Mesye sa yo, se pa moun ki vin pou kont. Ann kite yo rete nan peyi a. Ann kite yo fè trafik yo. Peyi a gen kont plas pou yo. Ann marye ak pitit fi yo, ann kite yo marye ak pitit fi nou yo.
"These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them live in the land and travel in it. For look, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters.
22 Mesye sa yo dakò pou yo rete ansanm ak nou, pou nou fè yon sèl pèp. Men yo pase yon kondisyon: se pou tout gason nan mitan nou sikonsi, menm jan yo menm yo sikonsi a.
Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us as one people: that every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Konsa, tout bèt yo, tout byen yo, tout zannimo yo ap vin pou nou yon lè. Se asepte pou n' asepte kondisyon an pou yo ka rete viv ansanm ak nou.
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, so they will settle among us."
24 tout moun ki te reyini bò pòtay lavil la te tonbe dakò ak sa Amò ak Sichèm, pitit li a, te di yo. Se konsa yo sikonsi tout gason ki te la bò pòtay lavil la.
All who went out of the gate of his city agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 Twa jou apre, mesye yo t'ap soufri ak sikonsizyon an toujou lè de nan pitit gason Jakòb yo, Simeyon ak Levi, frè menm manman ak Dena yo, pran nepe yo, yo antre nan lavil la san pesonn pa sispèk anyen, yo touye tout gason yo.
It happened on the third day, when they were still in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came into the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26 Yo touye Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, yo pran Dena, yo fè l' kite kay Sichèm lan, y al fè wout yo avè l'.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and left.
27 Lòt pitit Jakòb yo menm jete kò yo sou kadav yo, yo piye lavil la byen piye, paske moun lavil la te avili sè yo a.
Jacob's sons entered over the dead and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Apre sa, yo pran tout bèt, tout bèf, tout bourik ak tout sa ki te nan lavil la ak nan jaden yo.
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and was in the field,
29 Yo pran tout richès ak tout sa ki te nan kay mesye yo pote ale, yo fè tout pitit yo ak tout medam yo prizonye.
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the houses.
30 Apre sa, Jakòb rele Simeyon ak Levi, li di yo: -Gade nan ki traka nou mete m'. Koulye a, moun ki rete nan peyi a, moun Kanaran yo ak moun Perezi yo, pral rayi m'. Mwen pa gen anpil moun. Si yo mete ansanm sou do mwen pou atake m', y'ap touye m' ansanm ak tout moun lakay mwen.
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and attack me, and I and my household will be destroyed."
31 Men Simeyon ak Levi reponn: -Atò, se pou nou te kite yo trete sè nou an tankou nenpòt jennès!
But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
