Génesis 34
Bible David Martin 1744
1Or Dina, la fille que Léa avait enfantée à Jacob, sortit pour voir les filles du pays.
2Et Sichem, fils d’Hémor Hévien, Prince du pays, la vit, et l’enleva, et coucha avec elle, et la força.
3Et son coeur fut attaché à Dina fille de Jacob, et il aima la jeune fille, et parla selon le coeur de la jeune fille.
4Sichem aussi parla à Hémor son père, en disant : Prends-moi cette fille pour être ma femme.
5Et Jacob apprit qu’il avait violé Dina sa fille. Or ses fils étaient avec son bétail aux champs ; et Jacob se tut jusqu’à ce qu’ils fussent revenus.
6Et Hémor, père de Sichem vint à Jacob pour parler avec lui.
7Et les fils de Jacob étant revenus des champs, et ayant appris ce qui était arrivé, ils en eurent une grande douleur, et furent fort irrités de l’infamie que Sichem avait commise contre Israël, en couchant avec la fille de Jacob, ce qui ne se devait point faire.
8Et Hémor leur parla, en disant : Sichem mon fils a mis son affection en votre fille ; donnez-la-lui, je vous prie, pour femme.
9Et alliez-vous avec nous, donnez-nous vos filles, et prenez nos filles pour vous.
10Et habitez avec nous, et le pays sera à votre disposition ; demeurez-y, et y trafiquez, et ayez-y des possessions.
11Sichem dit aussi au père et aux frères de la fille : Que je trouve grâce devant vous, et je donnerai tout ce que vous me direz.
12Demandez-moi telle dot, et tel présent que vous voudrez, et je les donnerai comme vous me direz ; et donnez-moi la jeune fille pour femme.
13Alors les enfants de Jacob répondirent à Sichem et à Hémor son père ; et agissant avec ruse (parce qu’il avait violé Dina leur sœur :)
14Ils leur dirent : Nous ne pourrons point faire cela, de donner notre soeur à un homme incirconcis ; car ce nous serait un opprobre.
15Mais nous nous accommoderons avec vous, pourvu que vous deveniez semblables à nous en circoncisant tous les mâles qui sont parmi vous.
16Alors nous vous donnerons nos filles, et nous prendrons vos filles pour nous, et nous demeurerons avec vous, et nous ne serons qu’un seul peuple.
17Mais si vous ne consentez pas d’être circoncis, nous prendrons notre fille, et nous nous en irons.
18Et leurs discours plurent à Hémor et à Sichem, fils d’Hémor.
19Et le jeune homme ne différa point à faire ce qu’on lui avait proposé; car la fille de Jacob lui agréait beaucoup ; et il était le plus considéré de tous ceux de la maison de son père.
20Hémor donc et Sichem son fils vinrent à la porte de leur ville, et parlèrent aux gens de leur ville, en leur disant :
21Ces gens-ci sont paisibles, ils sont avec nous ; qu’ils habitent au pays, et qu’ils y trafiquent ; car voici, le pays est d’une assez grande étendue pour eux. Nous prendrons leurs filles pour nos femmes, et nous leur donnerons nos filles.
22Et ces gens s’accommoderont à nous en ceci pour habiter avec nous, et pour devenir un même peuple ; pourvu que tout mâle qui est parmi nous soit circoncis, comme ils sont circoncis.
23Leur bétail, et leurs biens, et toutes leurs bêtes, ne seront-ils pas à nous ? Seulement accommodons-nous à eux, et qu’ils demeurent avec nous.
24Et tous ceux qui sortaient par la porte de leur ville obéirent à Hémor, et à Sichem son fils ; et tout mâle d’entre tous ceux qui sortaient par la porte de leur ville fut circoncis.
25Mais il arriva au troisième jour, quand ils étaient dans la douleur, que deux des enfants de Jacob, Siméon et Lévi, frères de Dina, ayant pris leurs épées, entrèrent hardiment dans la ville, et tuèrent tous les mâles.
26Ils passèrent aussi au tranchant de l’épée Hémor et Sichem son fils, et emmenèrent Dina de la maison de Sichem, et sortirent.
27Et ceux-là étant tués, les fils de Jacob vinrent, et pillèrent la ville, parce qu’on avait violé leur soeur.
28Et ils prirent leurs troupeaux, leurs boeufs, leurs ânes, et ce qui était dans la ville, et aux champs :
29Et tous leurs biens, et tous leurs petits enfants, et emmenèrent prisonnières leurs femmes ; et les pillèrent, avec tout ce qui était dans les maisons.
30Alors Jacob dit à Siméon et Lévi : Vous m’avez troublé, en me mettant en mauvaise odeur parmi les habitants du pays, tant Cananéens que Phéréziens, et je n’ai que peu de gens ; ils s’assembleront donc contre moi, et me frapperont, et me détruiront, moi et ma maison.
31Et ils répondirent : Fera-t-on de notre soeur comme d’une paillarde ?
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y SALIÓ Dina la hija de Lea, la cual había ésta parido á Jacob, á ver las hijas del país.
2Y vióla Sichêm, hijo de Hamor Heveo, príncipe de aquella tierra, y tomóla, y echóse con ella, y la deshonró.
3Mas su alma se apegó á Dina la hija de Lea, y enamoróse de la moza, y habló al corazón de la joven.
4Y habló Sichêm á Hamor su padre, diciendo: Tómame por mujer esta moza.
5Y oyó Jacob que había Sichêm amancillado á Dina su hija: y estando sus hijos con su ganado en el campo, calló Jacob hasta que ellos viniesen.
6Y dirigióse Hamor padre de Sichêm á Jacob, para hablar con él.
7Y los hijos de Jacob vinieron del campo cuando lo supieron; y se entristecieron los varones, y se ensañaron mucho, porque hizo vileza en Israel echándose con la hija de Jacob, lo que no se debía haber hecho.
8Y Hamor habló con ellos, diciendo: El alma de mi hijo Sichêm se ha apegado á vuestra hija; ruégoos que se la deis por mujer.
9Y emparentad con nosotros; dadnos vuestras hijas, y tomad vosotros las nuestras.
10Y habitad con nosotros; porque la tierra estará delante de vosotros; morad y negociad en ella, y tomad en ella posesión.
11Sichêm también dijo á su padre y á sus hermanos: Halle yo gracia en vuestros ojos, y daré lo que me dijereis.
12Aumentad á cargo mío mucho dote y dones, que yo daré cuanto me dijereis, y dadme la moza por mujer.
13Y respondieron los hijos de Jacob á Sichêm y á Hamor su padre con engaño; y parlaron, por cuanto había amancillado á Dina su hermana.
14Y dijéronles: No podemos hacer esto de dar nuestra hermana á hombre que tiene prepucio; porque entre nosotros es abominación.
15Mas con esta condición os haremos placer: si habéis de ser como nosotros, que se circuncide entre vosotros todo varón;
16Entonces os daremos nuestras hijas, y tomaremos nosotros las vuestras; y habitaremos con vosotros, y seremos un pueblo.
17Mas si no nos prestareis oído para circuncidaros, tomaremos nuestra hija, y nos iremos.
18Y parecieron bien sus palabras á Hamor y á Sichêm, hijo de Hamor.
19Y no dilató el mozo hacer aquello, porque la hija de Jacob le había agradado: y él era el más honrado de toda la casa de su padre.
20Entonces Hamor y Sichêm su hijo vinieron á la puerta de su ciudad, y hablaron á los varones de su ciudad, diciendo:
21Estos varones son pacíficos con nosotros, y habitarán en el país, y traficarán en él: pues he aquí la tierra es bastante ancha para ellos: nosotros tomaremos sus hijas por mujeres, y les daremos las nuestras.
22Mas con esta condición nos harán estos hombres el placer de habitar con nosotros, para que seamos un pueblo: si se circuncidare en nosotros todo varón, así como ellos son circuncidados.
23Sus ganados, y su hacienda y todas sus bestias, serán nuestras: solamente convengamos con ellos, y habitarán con nosotros.
24Y obedecieron á Hamor y á Sichêm su hijo todos los que salían por la puerta de la ciudad, y circuncidaron á todo varón, á cuantos salían por la puerta de su ciudad.
25Y sucedió que al tercer día, cuando sentían ellos el mayor dolor, los dos hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, tomaron cada uno su espada, y vinieron contra la ciudad animosamente, y mataron á todo varón.
26Y á Hamor y á Sichêm su hijo los mataron á filo de espada: y tomaron á Dina de casa de Sichêm, y saliéronse.
27Y los hijos de Jacob vinieron á los muertos, y saquearon la ciudad; por cuanto habían amancillado á su hermana.
28Tomaron sus ovejas y vacas y sus asnos, y lo que había en la ciudad y en el campo,
29Y toda su hacienda; se llevaron cautivos á todos sus niños y sus mujeres, y robaron todo lo que había en casa.
30Entonces dijo Jacob á Simeón y á Leví: Habéisme turbado con hacerme abominable á los moradores de aquesta tierra, el Cananeo y el Pherezeo; y teniendo yo pocos hombres, juntarse han contra mí, y me herirán, y seré destruído yo y mi casa.
31Y ellos respondieron: ¿Había él de tratar á nuestra hermana como á una ramera?
King James Version
1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
19And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
20And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
29And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
30And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
World English Bible
1Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
7The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
8Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
16then will we give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
