1 GLT وَخَرَجَتْ دِينَةُ ٱبْنَةُ لَيْئَةَ ٱلَّتِي وَلَدَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ لِتَنْظُرَ بَنَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، BSB BSB: Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
2 GLT فَرَآهَا شَكِيمُ ٱبْنُ حَمُورَ ٱلْحِوِّيِّ رَئِيسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا وَأَذَلَّهَا. BSB BSB: When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
3 GLT وَتَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِدِينَةَ ٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَحَبَّ ٱلْفَتَاةَ وَلَاطَفَ ٱلْفَتاةَ. BSB BSB: And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
4 GLT فَكَلَّمَ شَكِيمُ حَمُورَ أَبَاهُ قَائِلًا:«خُذْ لِي هَذِهِ ٱلصَّبِيَّةَ زَوْجَةً». BSB BSB: So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5 GLT وَسَمِعَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ. وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُ فَكَانُوا مَعَ مَوَاشِيهِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَسَكَتَ يَعْقُوبُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا. BSB BSB: Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent about it until they returned.
6 GLT فَخَرَجَ حَمُورُ أَبُو شَكِيمَ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ. BSB BSB: Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7 GLT وَأَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا. وَغَضِبَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَٱغْتَاظُوا جِدًّا لِأَنَّهُ صَنَعَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَهَكَذَا لَا يُصْنَعُ. BSB BSB: When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
8 GLT وَتَكَلَّمَ حَمُورُ مَعَهُمَ قَائِلًا:«شَكِيمُ ٱبْنِي قَدْ تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِٱبْنَتِكُمْ. أَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهَا زَوْجَةً BSB BSB: But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 GLT وَصَاهِرُونَا. تُعْطُونَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَتَأْخُذُونَ لَكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا. BSB BSB: Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 GLT وَتَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا، وَتَكُونُ ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَكُمُ. ٱسْكُنُوا وَٱتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا وَتَمَلَّكُوا بِهَا». BSB BSB: You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
11 GLT ثُمَّ قَالَ شَكِيمُ لِأَبِيهَا وَلإِخْوَتِهَا:«دَعُونِي أَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. فَٱلَّذِي تَقُولُونَ لِي أُعْطِي. BSB BSB: Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12 GLT كَثِّرُوا عَلَيَّ جِدًّا مَهْرًا وَعَطِيَّةً، فَأُعْطِيَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ لِي. وَأَعْطُونِي ٱلْفَتَاةَ زَوْجَةً». BSB BSB: Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
13 GLT فَأَجَابَ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ شَكِيمَ وَحَمُورَ أَبَاهُ بِمَكْرٍ وَتَكَلَّمُوا. لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ، BSB BSB: But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14 GLT فَقَالُوُا لَهُمَا:«لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنْ نُعْطِيَ أُخْتَنَا لِرَجُلٍ أَغْلَفَ، لِأَنَّهُ عَارٌ لَنَا. BSB BSB: “We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
15 GLT غَيْرَ أَنَّنَا بِهَذَا نُواتِيكُمْ: إِنْ صِرْتُمْ مِثْلَنَا بِخَتْنِكُمْ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ. BSB BSB: We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
16 GLT نُعْطِيكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا وَنَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَنَسْكُنُ مَعَكُمْ وَنَصِيرُ شَعْبًا وَاحِدًا. BSB BSB: Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.
17 GLT وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لَنَا، أَنْ تَخْتَتِنُوا، نَأْخُذُ ٱبْنَتَنَا وَنَمْضِي». BSB BSB: But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
18 GLT فَحَسُنَ كَلَامُهُمْ فِي عَيْنَيْ حَمُورَ وَفِي عَيْنَيْ شَكِيمَ بْنِ حَمُورَ. BSB BSB: Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 GLT وَلَمْ يَتَأَخَّرِ ٱلْغُلَامُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ٱلْأَمْرَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَسْرُورًا بِٱبْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ. وَكَانَ أَكْرَمَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ. BSB BSB: The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
20 GLT فَأَتَى حَمُورُ وَشَكِيمُ ٱبْنُهُ إِلَى بَابِ مَدِينَتِهْمَا، وَكَلَّمَا أَهْلَ مَدِينَتِهْمَا قَائِلَيْنِ: BSB BSB: So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
21 GLT «هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْقَوْمُ مُسَالِمُونَ لَنَا. فَلْيَسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا. وَهُوَذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ وَاسِعَةُ ٱلطَّرَفَيْنِ أَمَامَهُمْ. نَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِهِمْ زَوْجَاتٍ وَنُعْطِيهِمْ بَنَاتِنَا. BSB BSB: “These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.
22 GLT غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ بِهَذَا فَقَطْ يُواتِينَا ٱلْقَوْمُ عَلَى ٱلسَّكَنِ مَعَنَا لِنَصِيرَ شَعْبًا وَاحِدًا: بِخَتْنِنَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ كَمَا هُمْ مَخْتُونُونَ. BSB BSB: But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.
23 GLT أَلَا تَكُونُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَمُقْتَنَاهُمْ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِهِمْ لَنَا؟ نُواتِيهِمْ فَقَطْ فَيَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا». BSB BSB: Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”
24 GLT فَسَمِعَ لِحَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ٱبْنِهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱخْتَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ. كُلُّ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. BSB BSB: All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.
25 GLT فَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ إِذْ كَانُوا مُتَوَجِّعِينَ أَنَّ ٱبْنَيْ يَعْقُوبَ، شِمْعُونَ وَلَاوِيَ أَخَوَيْ دِينَةَ، أَخَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ وَأَتَيَا عَلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِأَمْنٍ وَقَتَلَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ. BSB BSB: Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.
26 GLT وَقَتَلَا حَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ٱبْنَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذَا دِينَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ شَكِيمَ وَخَرَجَا. BSB BSB: They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 GLT ثُمَّ أَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى ٱلْقَتْلَى وَنَهَبُوا ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ نَجَّسُوا أُخْتَهُمْ. BSB BSB: Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 GLT غَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَحَمِيرَهُمْ وَكُلُّ مَا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ أَخَذُوهُ. BSB BSB: They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
29 GLT وَسَبَوْا وَنَهَبُوا كُلَّ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَطْفَالِهِمْ، وَنِسَاءَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا فِي ٱلْبُيُوتِ. BSB BSB: They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
30 GLT فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِشَمْعُونَ وَلَاوِي:«كَدَّرْتُمَانِي بِتَكْرِيهِكُمَا إِيَّايَ عِنْدَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِيِّينَ، وَأَنَا نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ. فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَضْرِبُونَنِي، فَأَبِيدُ أَنَا وَبَيْتِي». BSB BSB: Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 GLT فَقَالَا:«أَنَظِيرَ زَانِيَةٍ يَفْعَلُ بِأُخْتِنَا؟». BSB BSB: But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
