Genesis 34 (YOR)

1Ní ọjọ́ kan, Dina ọmọbìnrin tí Lea bí fún Jakọbu jáde lọ bẹ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ilẹ̀ náà wò.Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

2Nígbà tí Ṣekemu ọmọ ọba Hamori ará Hifi rí i, ó mú un, ó sì fi ipá bá a lo pọ̀.When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

3Ọkàn rẹ sì fà sí Dina ọmọ Jakọbu gan an, ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀ ó sì bá ọmọbìnrin náà sọ̀rọ̀ ìfẹ́.And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.

4Ṣekemu sì wí fún Hamori baba rẹ̀ pé, “Fẹ́ ọmọbìnrin yìí fún mi bí aya.”So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”

5Nígbà tí Jakọbu gbọ́ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ pé a fi ipá bá Dina ọmọbìnrin òun ní ògo jẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ wà nínú pápá níbi tí wọ́n ti ń daran nítorí náà ó mú sùúrù títí tí wọ́n fi dé.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.

6Hamori baba Ṣekemu sì jáde wá láti bá Jakọbu sọ̀rọ̀.Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

7Àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu sì ti oko dé, wọ́n sì gbọ́ ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ inú wọn sì bàjẹ́, ó sì ń bí wọn nínú gidigidi, nítorí tí ó ṣe ohun búburú ní Israẹli, ní ti ó bá ọmọbìnrin ọmọ Jakọbu lòpọ̀—irú ohun tí kò yẹ kí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ rárá.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.

8Hamori sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Ọkàn ọmọ mi Ṣekemu fà sí ọmọ rẹ. Jọ̀wọ́ fi fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya.But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

9Ẹ jẹ́ kí a máa ṣe ìgbéyàwó láàrín ara wa, kí àwọn ọmọ yín kó máa fẹ́ àwọn ọmọ wa.Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

10Ẹ lè máa gbé láàrín wa, ibikíbi tí ó bá tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn láàrín wa ni ẹ lè gbé, ẹ máa ṣe òwò yín kí ẹ sì kó ọrọ̀ jọ fún ara yín.”You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”

11Ṣekemu sì wí fún baba àti arákùnrin Dina pé, “Ẹ jọ̀wọ́, ẹ jẹ́ kí n rí ojúrere yín, èmi yóò sì fún yín ní ohunkóhun tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ gbà.Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.

12Iyekíye tí owó orí rẹ̀ bá jẹ́ àti ẹ̀bùn gbogbo tí ẹ bá fẹ́, bí ó ti wù kí ó pọ̀ tó, èmi yóò san án, kí ẹ sá à jẹ́ kí ń fi ọmọ náà ṣe aya.”Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”

13Àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu sì fi ẹ̀tàn dá Ṣekemu àti Hamori baba rẹ̀ lóhùn, wọ́n sì wí pé, nítorí tí ó ti ba ògo Dina arábìnrin wọn jẹ́.But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.

14Wọ́n wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa kò le ṣe nǹkan yìí láti fi arábìnrin wa fún aláìkọlà, nítorí àbùkù ni èyí yóò jẹ́ fún wa.“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.

15Àwa yóò fi ara mọ́ ọn bí ẹ̀yin yóò bá gbà láti dàbí i tiwa, wí pé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú yóò kọ gbogbo ọkùnrin yín ní ilà.We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.

16Nígbà náà ni àwa yóò le máa fún yín ní ọmọ wa, tí àwa náà yóò máa fẹ́ ẹ yín. A ó máa gbé láàrín yín, a ó sì di ara kan pẹ̀lú yín.Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.

17Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin bá kọ̀ láti kọlà, àwa yóò mú arábìnrin wa, á ó sì máa lọ.”But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”

18Àbá náà sì dùn mọ́ Hamori àti Ṣekemu ọmọ rẹ̀.Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.

19Ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ẹni iyì jùlọ ní ilé baba rẹ̀, kò jáfara láti ṣe ohun tí wọ́n wí. Nítorí tí ó fẹ́ràn ọmọbìnrin Jakọbu.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.

20Hamori àti Ṣekemu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì wá sí ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà wọn sì bá àwọn ará ìlú náà sọ̀rọ̀.So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:

21Wí pé, “Ìwà àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí dára, ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn máa gbé ní àárín wa, kí wọn sì máa ṣòwò, ilẹ̀ kúkú wà rẹpẹtẹ tó gba ààyè dáradára. A lè fẹ́ àwọn ọmọ wọ́n, ki wọn sì fẹ́ tiwa pẹ̀lú.“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.

22Ṣùgbọ́n kín ní kan ni a lè ṣe kí wọn tó gbà láti gbé pẹ̀lú wa, ìyẹn sì ni pé àwọn ọkùnrin wa yóò kọlà bí i tiwọn.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.

23Ṣe bí àwọn ẹran wọn àti ẹrú wọn àti àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn wọn ni yóò di tiwa bí a bá lè gbà bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò sì máa gbé ni àárín wa.”Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”

24Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin tí ń jáde ní ẹnu-bodè ìlú náà sì gbọ́ ti Hamori àti Ṣekemu ọmọ rẹ̀. Gbogbo ọkùnrin ìlú náà sì kọlà.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.

25Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta, nígbà tí gbogbo wọn sì wà nínú ìrora. Àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu méjì, Simeoni àti Lefi tí ó jẹ́ ẹ̀gbọ́n fún Dina, sì mú idà wọn pẹ̀lú ìgboyà, wọ́n sì pa gbogbo ọkùnrin ìlú náà.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.

26Wọ́n sì fi idà pa Hamori àti Ṣekemu ọmọ rẹ̀, wọ́n mú Dina kúrò ní ilé wọn, wọ́n sì jáde.They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

27Àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu sì wọlé àwọn tí a pa, wọ́n sì kó ẹrù ìlú tí a ti ba ògo arábìnrin wọn jẹ́.Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.

28Wọ́n kó màlúù wọn àti agbo ẹran wọn àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú ìlú àti ní oko.They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.

29Gbogbo ọrọ̀ wọn, gbogbo obìnrin ìlú àti àwọn ọmọ wẹẹrẹ pátápátá ni wọ́n kó. Wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú ilé wọn bí ìkógun.They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.

30Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu wí fún Simeoni àti Lefi wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti kó ìyọnu bá mi nípa sísọ mí di olóòórùn láàrín ará Kenaani àti Peresi, tí ó ń gbé ilẹ̀ yìí. Àwa kò pọ̀, bí wọn bá wá parapọ̀ ṣígun sí wa, gbogbo wa pátápátá ni wọn yóò parun.”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.”

31Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó yẹ kí ó ṣe arábìnrin wa bí panṣágà?”But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
