Genesis
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?
1وَخَرَجَتْ دِينَةُ ابْنَةُ لَيْئَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتْهَا لِيَعْقُوبَ لِتَنْظُرَ بَنَاتِ الأَرْضِ،2فَرَآهَا شَكِيمُ ابْنُ حَمُورَ الْحِوِّيِّ رَئِيسِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَخَذَهَا وَاضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا وَأَذَلَّهَا.3وَتَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِدِينَةَ ابْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَحَبَّ الْفَتَاةَ وَلاَطَفَها.4فَقَالَ شَكِيمُ لِحَمُورَ أَبِيهِ، خُذْ لِي هَذِهِ الصَّبِيَّةَ زَوْجَةً.5وَسَمِعَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ ابْنَتَهُ. وَأَمَّا بَنُوهُ فَكَانُوا مَعَ مَوَاشِيهِ فِي الْحَقْلِ، فَسَكَتَ يَعْقُوبُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا.6فَخَرَجَ حَمُورُ أَبُو شَكِيمَ إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.7وَأَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ حِينَ سَمِعُوا. وَغَضِبَ الرِّجَالُ وَاغْتَاظُوا جِدّاً لأَنَّهُ صَنَعَ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُضَاجَعَةِ ابْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ. وَهَكَذَا لاَ يُصْنَعُ.8وَقَالَ لَهُمْ حَمُورُ، شَكِيمُ ابْنِي قَدْ تَعَلَّقَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِابْنَتِكُمْ. أَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهَا زَوْجَةً9وَصَاهِرُونَا. تُعْطُونَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ وَتَأْخُذُونَ لَكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا10وَتَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا، وَتَكُونُ الأَرْضُ قُدَّامَكُمُ. اسْكُنُوا وَاتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا وَتَمَلَّكُوا بِهَا.11ثُمَّ قَالَ شَكِيمُ لأَبِيهَا وَلإِخْوَتِهَا، دَعُونِي أَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ. فَالَّذِي تَقُولُونَ لِي أُعْطِي.12كَثِّرُوا عَلَيَّ جِدّاً مَهْراً وَعَطِيَّةً، فَأُعْطِيَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ لِي. وَأَعْطُونِي الْفَتَاةَ زَوْجَةً.13فَأَجَابَ بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ شَكِيمَ وَحَمُورَ أَبَاهُ بِمَكْرٍ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ نَجَّسَ دِينَةَ أُخْتَهُمْ،14لاَ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ أَنْ نُعْطِيَ أُخْتَنَا لِرَجُلٍ أَغْلَفَ، لأَنَّهُ عَارٌ لَنَا.15غَيْرَ أَنَّنَا بِهَذَا نُواتِيكُمْ، إِنْ صِرْتُمْ مِثْلَنَا بِخَتْنِكُمْ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.16نُعْطِيكُمْ بَنَاتِنَا وَنَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِكُمْ، وَنَسْكُنُ مَعَكُمْ وَنَصِيرُ شَعْباً وَاحِداً.17وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لَنَا، أَنْ تَخْتَتِنُوا، نَأْخُذُ ابْنَتَنَا وَنَمْضِي.18فَحَسُنَ كَلاَمُهُمْ فِي عَيْنَيْ حَمُورَ وَفِي عَيْنَيْ شَكِيمَ بْنِ حَمُورَ.19وَلَمْ يَتَأَخَّرِ الْغُلاَمُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ الأَمْرَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مَسْرُوراً بِابْنَةِ يَعْقُوبَ. وَكَانَ أَكْرَمَ جَمِيعِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ.20فَأَتَى حَمُورُ وَشَكِيمُ ابْنُهُ إِلَى بَابِ مَدِينَتِهِمَا، وَقَالاَ لأَهْلِ مَدِينَتِهِمَا،21هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَوْمُ مُسَالِمُونَ لَنَا. فَلْيَسْكُنُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَتَّجِرُوا فِيهَا. وَهُوَذَا الأَرْضُ وَاسِعَةُ الطَّرَفَيْنِ أَمَامَهُمْ. نَأْخُذُ لَنَا بَنَاتِهِمْ زَوْجَاتٍ وَنُعْطِيهِمْ بَنَاتِنَا.22غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ بِهَذَا فَقَطْ يُواتِينَا الْقَوْمُ عَلَى السَّكَنِ مَعَنَا لِنَصِيرَ شَعْباً وَاحِداً، بِخَتْنِنَا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ كَمَا هُمْ مَخْتُونُونَ.23أَلاَ تَكُونُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَمُقْتَنَاهُمْ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِهِمْ لَنَا. نُواتِيهِمْ فَقَطْ فَيَسْكُنُونَ مَعَنَا.24فَسَمِعَ لِحَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ابْنِهِ جَمِيعُ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ. وَاخْتَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ كُلُّ الْخَارِجِينَ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ.25فَحَدَثَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ إِذْ كَانُوا مُتَوَجِّعِينَ أَنَّ ابْنَيْ يَعْقُوبَ، شَمْعُونَ وَلاَوِيَ أَخَوَيْ دِينَةَ، أَخَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ سَيْفَهُ وَأَتَيَا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِأَمْنٍ وَقَتَلاَ كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ.26وَقَتَلاَ حَمُورَ وَشَكِيمَ ابْنَهُ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذَا دِينَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ شَكِيمَ وَخَرَجَا.27ثُمَّ أَتَى بَنُو يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى الْقَتْلَى وَنَهَبُوا الْمَدِينَةَ، لأَنَّهُمْ نَجَّسُوا أُخْتَهُمْ.28غَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَحَمِيرَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَا فِي الْحَقْلِ أَخَذُوهُ.29وَسَبَوْا وَنَهَبُوا كُلَّ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ وَكُلَّ أَطْفَالِهِمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا فِي الْبُيُوتِ.30فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِشَمْعُونَ وَلاَوِي، كَدَّرْتُمَانِي بِتَكْرِيهِكُمَا إِيَّايَ عِنْدَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِيِّينَ، وَأَنَا نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ. فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَضْرِبُونَنِي، فَأَبِيدُ أَنَا وَبَيْتِي.31فَقَالاَ، أَنَظِيرَ زَانِيَةٍ يَفْعَلُ بِأُخْتِنَا.
