34 ¶ Dena, pitit fi Leya te fè pou Jakòb la, te soti al rann medam peyi a vizit.

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.

Men Sichèm te tonbe damou pou Dena, pitit fi Jakòb la. Li te pale dous ak tifi a, paske li te renmen l'.

Sichèm di Amò, papa l': -Al mande pou fi sa a pou mwen.

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.

¶ Amò, papa Sichèm, ale bò kot Jakòb pou fè yon pale sou sa avè l'.

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.

Amò di yo konsa: -Pitit gason m' lan, Sichèm, fin fou pou fi nou an. Tanpri, kite li marye avè l'.

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.

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.

11 Apre sa, Sichèm di papa ak frè Dena yo: -Fè m' favè sa a, tanpri. m'a ban nou tout sa nou vle.

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.

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.

14 Yo di yo: -Nou pa ka kite sè nou an marye ak yon nonm ki pa sikonsi. Se va yon avilisman pou nou.

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.

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.

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.

18 ¶ Amò ak Sichèm, pitit gason l' lan, tonbe dakò ak yo pou kondisyon an.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

28 Apre sa, yo pran tout bèt, tout bèf, tout bourik ak tout sa ki te nan lavil la ak nan jaden yo.

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.

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.

31 Men Simeyon ak Levi reponn: -Atò, se pou nou te kite yo trete sè nou an tankou nenpòt jennès!

Dinah and the Shechemites

34 Now Dinah,(A) the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. When Shechem(B) son of Hamor(C) the Hivite,(D) the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.(E) His heart was drawn to Dinah(F) daughter of Jacob;(G) he loved(H) the young woman and spoke tenderly(I) to her. And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”(J)

When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled,(K) his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.

Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.(L) Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked(M) and furious,(N) because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[a] Israel(O) by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.(P)

But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.(Q) Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.(R) 10 You can settle among us;(S) the land is open to you.(T) Live in it, trade[b] in it,(U) and acquire property in it.(V)

11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes,(W) and I will give you whatever you ask. 12 Make the price for the bride(X) and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”

13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled,(Y) Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully(Z) as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. 14 They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised.(AA) That would be a disgrace to us. 15 We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition(AB) only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.(AC) 16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves.(AD) We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.(AE) 17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”

18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man, who was the most honored(AF) of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.(AG) 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city(AH) to speak to the men of their city. 21 “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;(AI) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.(AJ) 22 But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,(AK) as they themselves are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?(AL) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.(AM)

24 All the men who went out of the city gate(AN) agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.

25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,(AO) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon(AP) and Levi,(AQ) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords(AR) and attacked the unsuspecting city,(AS) killing every male.(AT) 26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword(AU) and took Dinah(AV) from Shechem’s house and left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city(AW) where[c] their sister had been defiled.(AX) 28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys(AY) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.(AZ) 29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,(BA) taking as plunder(BB) everything in the houses.(BC)

30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble(BD) on me by making me obnoxious(BE) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.(BF) We are few in number,(BG) and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?(BH)
