1 E saiu Diná, filha de Lia, que esta dera a Jacó, para ver as filhas da terra.
2 E Siquém, filho de Hamor, heveu, príncipe daquela terra, viu-a, e tomou-a, e deitou-se com ela, e humilhou-a.
3 E apegou-se a sua alma com Diná, filha de Jacó, e amou a moça e falou afetuosamente à moça.
4 Falou também Siquém a Hamor, seu pai, dizendo: Toma-me esta moça por mulher.
5 Quando Jacó ouviu que Diná, sua filha, fora violada, estavam os seus filhos no campo com o gado; e calou-se Jacó até que viessem.
6 E saiu Hamor, pai de Siquém, a Jacó, para falar com ele.
7 E vieram os filhos de Jacó do campo, ouvindo isso, e entristeceram-se os homens, e iraram-se muito, porquanto Siquém cometera uma insensatez em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacó; o que não se devia fazer assim.
8 Então falou Hamor com eles, dizendo: A alma de Siquém, meu filho, está enamorada da vossa filha; dai-lha, peço-vos, por mulher;
9 E aparentai-vos conosco, dai-nos as vossas filhas, e tomai as nossas filhas para vós;
10 E habitareis conosco; e a terra estará diante de vós; habitai e negociai nela, e tomai possessão nela.
11 E disse Siquém ao pai dela, e aos irmãos dela: Ache eu graça em vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes;
12 Aumentai muito sobre mim o dote e a dádiva e darei o que me disserdes; dai-me somente a moça por mulher.
13 Então responderam os filhos de Jacó a Siquém e a Hamor, seu pai, enganosamente, e falaram, porquanto havia violado a Diná, sua irmã.
14 E disseram-lhe: Não podemos fazer isso, dar a nossa irmã a um homem não circuncidado; porque isso seria uma vergonha para nós;
15 Nisso, porém, consentiremos a vós: se fordes como nós; que se circuncide todo o homem entre vós;
16 Então dar-vos-emos as nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas filhas, e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo;
17 Mas se não nos ouvirdes, e não vos circuncidardes, tomaremos a nossa filha e ir-nos-emos.
18 E suas palavras foram boas aos olhos de Hamor, e aos olhos de Siquém, filho de Hamor.
19 E não tardou o jovem em fazer isto; porque a filha de Jacó lhe contentava; e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.
20 Veio, pois, Hamor e Siquém, seu filho, à porta da sua cidade, e falaram aos homens da sua cidade, dizendo:
21 Estes homens são pacíficos conosco; portanto habitarão nesta terra, e negociarão nela; eis que a terra é larga de espaço para eles; tomaremos nós as suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas filhas.
22 Nisto, porém, consentirão aqueles homens, em habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo, se todo o homem entre nós se circuncidar, como eles são circuncidados.
23 E seu gado, as suas possessões, e todos os seus animais não serão nossos? Consintamos somente com eles e habitarão conosco.
24 E deram ouvidos a Hamor e a Siquém, seu filho, todos os que saíam da porta da cidade; e foi circuncidado todo o homem, de todos os que saíam pela porta da sua cidade.
25 E aconteceu que, ao terceiro dia, quando estavam com a mais violenta dor, os dois filhos de Jacó, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Diná, tomaram cada um a sua espada, e entraram afoitamente na cidade, e mataram todos os homens.
26 Mataram também ao fio da espada a Hamor, e a seu filho Siquém; e tomaram a Diná da casa de Siquém, e saíram.
27 Vieram os filhos de Jacó aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto violaram a sua irmã.
28 As suas ovelhas, e as suas vacas, e os seus jumentos, e o que havia na cidade e no campo, tomaram.
29 E todos os seus bens, e todos os seus meninos, e as suas mulheres, levaram presos, e saquearam tudo o que havia em casa.
30 Então disse Jacó a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me turbado, fazendo-me cheirar mal entre os moradores desta terra, entre os cananeus e perizeus; tendo eu pouco povo em número, eles ajuntar-se-ão, e serei destruído, eu e minha casa.
31 E eles disseram: Devia ele tratar a nossa irmã como a uma prostituta?
1 Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was the chief of that land, saw her, he took her by force and had connection with her.
3 Then his heart went out in love to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he said comforting words to her.
4 And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.
5 Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.
6 Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.
7 Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.
8 But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?
9 And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.
11 And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.
12 However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.
13 But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.
14 And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:
15 But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;
16 Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us and go on living with you as one people.
17 But if you will not undergo circumcision as we say, then we will take our daughter and go.
18 And their words were pleasing to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.
20 Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,
21 It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.
22 But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.
23 Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.
24 Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.
25 But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.
26 And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
27 And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;
28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,
29 And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.
31 But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?
