1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
3 And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.
4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard {it}; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
8 And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.
9 And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
10 And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.
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.
12 Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke-because he had defiled Dinah their sister-
14 and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that {were} a reproach to us.
15 But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.
17 But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.
18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19 And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land-behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters.
22 But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people-if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.
23 Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
24 And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised-all that went out at the gate of his city.
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 his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26 And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what {was} in the city, and what {was} in the field they took;
29 and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land-among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
1 Kord läks Diina, Lea tütar, kelle Lea oli Jaakobile ilmale toonud, maa tütreid vaatama.
2 Aga maa vürsti hiivlase Hamori poeg Sekem nägi teda, võttis tema, magas ta juures ja naeris ta ära.
3 Kuid ta hing kiindus Diinasse, Jaakobi tütresse, ja ta armastas tütarlast ning rääkis tütarlapsele meelitusi.
4 Ja Sekem rääkis oma isa Hamoriga, öeldes: „Võta see tüdruk mulle naiseks!"
5 Jaakob aga sai kuulda, et ta tütar Diina oli ära teotatud. Aga et ta pojad olid tema karjaga väljal, siis Jaakob vaikis, kuni nad koju tulid.
6 Ja Hamor, Sekemi isa, läks Jaakobi juurde, et temaga rääkida.
7 Jaakobi pojad tulid väljalt, kui nad sellest olid kuulda saanud; mehed olid nördinud ja nende viha süttis väga põlema, et ta Jaakobi tütre juures magades oli Iisraelis teinud häbiteo; sest nõnda ei tohtinud teha.
8 Ja Hamor rääkis nendega, öeldes: „Mu poja Sekemi hing on kiindunud teie tütresse. Andke ta ometi temale naiseks!
9 Saage meiega langudeks, andke meile oma tütreid ja võtke enestele meie tütreid,
10 ja jääge meie juurde elama. Maa on lahti teie ees, elage, rännake ja kodunege siin!"
11 Ja Sekem ütles tema isale ja vendadele: „Kui ma teie silmis armu leian, siis annan teile, mida te minult nõuate.
12 Pange mulle peale ükskõik kui palju mõrsjahinda ja kingitusi: ma annan, mida te minult nõuate. Andke ainult tütarlaps mulle naiseks!"
13 Siis kostsid Jaakobi pojad Sekemile ja tema isale Hamorile, rääkides aga kavalasti, sellepärast et ta nende õe Diina oli ära teotanud,
14 ja ütlesid neile: „Me ei või teha niisugust asja, et anname oma õe mehele, kellel on eesnahk, sest see oleks meile häbiks.
15 Ainult sel tingimusel oleme teiega nõus, kui saate meie sarnaseiks, lastes kõik oma meesterahvad ümber lõigata.
16 Siis me anname oma tütreid teile ja võtame teie tütreid enestele, elame üheskoos teiega ja saame üheks rahvaks.
17 Aga kui te ei võta meid kuulda ega lase endid ümber lõigata, siis võtame oma tütre ja läheme ära!"
18 Ja nende sõnad olid head Hamori ja Hamori poja Sekemi silmis.
19 Ja noor mees ei kõhelnud nõnda tegemast, sest ta ihaldas Jaakobi tütart; ja tema oli lugupeetum kui kõik teised ta isakojas.
20 Siis Hamor ja ta poeg Sekem läksid oma linna väravasse ja rääkisid oma linna meestega, öeldes:
21 „Need mehed on rahuarmastajad. Jäägu nad meie juurde, elagu ja rännaku nad siin maal. Sest maa, vaata, laiub ju nendegi ees igat kätt. Siis võtame enestele naisteks nende tütreid ja anname oma tütreid neile.
22 Aga ainult sel tingimusel on mehed meiega nõus meie juures elama ja saama meiega üheks rahvaks, kui meil kõik meesterahvad ümber lõigatakse, nõnda nagu nemad ise on ümber lõigatud.
23 Nende karjad ja varandus ja kõik nende lojused, eks need saa siis meile! Olgem ainult nendega nõus, siis nad asuvad meie juurde elama."
24 Ja nad võtsid kuulda Hamorit ja tema poega Sekemit, kõik, kes ta linna väravast läbi käisid; ja kõik meesterahvad lõigati ümber, kõik, kes ta linna väravast läbi käisid.
25 Aga kolmandal päeval, kui nad olid valudes, võtsid kaks Jaakobi poega, Siimeon ja Leevi, Diina vennad, kumbki oma mõõga ja läksid takistamatult linna ja tapsid ära kõik meesterahvad.
26 Nad tapsid mõõgateraga ka Hamori ja tema poja Sekemi, võtsid Sekemi kojast Diina ja läksid ära.
27 Jaakobi pojad tulid haigetele kallale ja riisusid linna, sellepärast et nad nende õe olid ära teotanud.
28 Nad võtsid ära nende pudulojused, veised ja eeslid ja mis iganes oli linnas või väljal.
29 Nad viisid ära kõik nende varanduse ja kõik nende lapsed ja naised, ja riisusid kõik, mis kodades oli.
30 Aga Jaakob ütles Siimeonile ja Leevile: „Te saadate mind õnnetusse, sellepärast et te mind olete teinud vihatavaks maa elanike, kaananlaste ja perislaste hulgas! Mul on vähe mehi: kui nad kogunevad mu vastu, siis nad löövad mind ja me hukkume, niihästi mina kui mu pere!"
31 Kuid nemad vastasid: „Kas ta siis tohtis talitada meie õega nagu hooraga?"
