BSB
BSB:
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

GEL
Se̱di da-u̱ zwar-u̱ Hamor ne̱t-u̱ Hiwi, faru̱k-u̱ dak-u̱ She̱ke̱m hyane̱ Dina, wa ku̱b wa, wa no̱m-u̱ wa u̱r-ryapu̱k u̱r-be̱b.
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.

GEL
Jab-u̱ wa to u̱du̱ Dinatu gwu̱p-u̱ Yakubu. Wa o̱ cwan-tu̱ gwu̱p-u̱ wa sok, wa no̱m u̱s-rem u̱ka wa do̱te̱ u̱ nak-du̱ jab-u̱ Dinatu u̱ gom-u̱t wa.
BSB
BSB:
And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.
4
GEL
Se̱ She̱ke̱m zu̱ u̱so wa Hamor, <<U̱m o̱ u̱t-sa bo̱ kwu̱mnu̱ me̱ gwu̱p unwa, u̱ wa shu̱'u̱t ne̱ta ri.>>
BSB
BSB:
So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5
GEL
Yakubu hog u̱zu̱ Shekem naaste̱ gwu̱p-u̱ wa Dinatu. Ba shu̱'u̱te̱ u̱zu̱ ya'ag-u̱ campa-ne̱ wa zaar u-bu da e̱ o̱ u̱r-do̱g u̱ be-du̱ gwat-du̱ u̱t-bisa, wa zu̱u̱g o̱ko̱n da se̱ da-u̱ e̱ mu̱ne̱.
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
GEL
Hamor, u̱so She̱ke̱m, wa haan u̱du̱ Yakubu wa no̱m u̱s-rem u̱ wa ne̱.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

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
GEL
Hamor nom u̱s-rem u̱ Yakubu u̱ ya'ag-u̱ wa ne̱. Wa zu̱, <<Zwaru̱ ri She̱ke̱m o̱ u̱ cwan-tu̱ gwu̱p-u̱ no̱, u̱m o̱ u̱s-ko̱n, no̱ ya' wa'-u̱-gwu̱p-u̱ no̱, Dina shu̱'u̱t ne̱ta wa.
BSB
BSB:
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9

BSB
BSB:
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.
10

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
GEL

BSB
BSB:
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12
GEL
Kwu̱pu̱n me̱ shik-u̱ go̱ro̱m u̱ cwu̱-tu̱ u̱r-gu̱ ne̱ u-tát u̱ka no̱ o̱tte̱ u̱ssa, me̱ u̱t-to̱p no̱mu̱ no̱ u̱ssa u-be̱e̱t. No̱m-u̱ u̱m o̱o̱ge̱ u̱ssa u̱ war-o̱ ya me̱, wa-gwu̱p ko̱ wa u̱t-shu̱'u̱t ne̱ta ri.>>
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
GEL
Remu̱ zu̱ She̱ke̱m naaste̱ Dinatu, ya'ag-u̱ campa-ne̱ Yakubu po̱o̱t She̱ke̱m e̱ u̱so-u wa Hamor.
BSB
BSB:
But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14
GEL
E̱ zu̱ u̱n, <<It zaar u̱ keru̱ u̱t-no̱m iya da. It za ya-du̱ gwu̱p-u̱ it u̱du̱ i zatte̱ u̱r-pe̱s da, u̱t-shu̱'u̱t no̱m-tu̱ m-'e̱ u̱du̱ it.
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
GEL
Fu̱n-yu̱ u̱t-do̱ru̱ ya, yu̱ it do̱te̱ u̱t-ees, abite̱ zu̱ no̱ u̱t-ees na no̱ no̱mu̱ no̱ u̱r-pe̱s u̱ka it o̱tte̱.
BSB
BSB:
We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
16
GEL
Da-u o̱ it do̱'e̱ ya'u̱ no̱ ya-u̱t-gwu̱p-u̱ it, it u̱t-kab ya-u̱t-gwu̱p-u̱ no̱, it-u̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t u̱-me̱ no̱, in shu̱'u̱tu̱n u̱s-gan.
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
GEL
Se̱di a no̱ gu̱gme̱ u̱t-ees u̱ na no̱m-u̱ no̱ u̱r-pe̱s, it-u̱ kabu̱ hu̱no̱ it Dinatu, it aru̱k u̱ su̱ it.>>
BSB
BSB:
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”
18
GEL
Hamor e̱ wa'-u̱ wa She̱ke̱m e̱ ees u̱ no̱mu̱ u̱n waru̱ e̱ ne̱.
BSB
BSB:
Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.

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.

BSB:
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
21

E̱ zu̱ u̱n, <<Ne̱t-u̱t tun-to̱ hu̱u̱b-u̱t in to̱, in yagu̱n u̱n shu̱'u̱t in u̱ ane̱ jab gan. Dak-u̱ uno̱ o̱ u-tát o̱ ko̱rge̱ cu̱ndu̱ u̱n. Se̱ in gaan ya-u̱t-gwu̱p-u̱ u̱n tu̱msu̱ in yasu̱n u̱n ya-u̱t-gwu̱p-u̱ in e̱ ga.
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
GEL

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
GEL
Se̱di a in no̱me̱ iya, bisa-u̱t u̱n u̱ no̱m-tu̱ u̱n o̱tte̱ ne̱ to̱ u̱t-shu̱'u̱t tu̱ in, yagu̱n in ees u̱ rem-u̱s u̱n ne̱, u̱n shu̱'u̱t u̱ in ne̱.>>
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

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.

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
GEL
