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?"
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?
