The Defiling of Dinah
34 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land. 2 When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her and raped her. 3 But he was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her. 4 So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as a wife."
1 利亞給雅各所生的女兒底拿出去，要見那地的女子們。2 那地的主希未人，哈抹的兒子示劍，看見他，就拉住他，與他行淫，玷辱他。3 示劍的心繫戀雅各的女兒底拿，喜愛這女子，甜言蜜語的安慰他。4 示劍對他父親哈抹說，求你為我聘這女子為妻。
Jacob's Sons Are Enraged
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob said nothing until they came in. 6 Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard about it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by sleeping with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
5 雅各聽見示劍玷污了他的女兒底拿，那時他的兒子們正和群畜在田野，雅各就閉口不言，等他們回來。6 示劍的父親哈抹出來見雅各，要和他商議。7 雅各的兒子們聽見這事，就從田野回來，人人忿恨，十分惱怒，因示劍在以色列家作了醜事，與雅各的女兒行淫，這本是不該作的事。
Hamor Proposes Intermarriage
8 But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage. 9 And intermarry with us; give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 So you will live with us, and the land shall be open to you; live and trade in it and acquire property in it."
8 哈抹和他們商議說，我兒子示劍的心戀慕這女子，求你們將他給我的兒子為妻。9 你們與我們彼此結親，你們可以把女兒給我們，也可以娶我們的女兒。10 你們與我們同住罷，這地都在你們面前，只管在此居住，作買賣，置產業。
Shechem's Offer and the Sons' Deceit
11 Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and I will give whatever you tell me. 12 Demand of me ever so much bridal payment and gift, and I will give whatever you tell me; but give me the girl in marriage." 13 But Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor with deceit, because he had defiled their sister Dinah. 14 They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, that is, give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
11 示劍對女兒的父親和弟兄們說，但願我在你們眼前蒙恩，你們向我要甚麼我必給你們。12 任憑向我要多重的聘金和禮物，我必照你們所說的給你們，只要把女子給我為妻。13 雅各的兒子們，因為示劍玷污了他們的妹子底拿，就用詭詐的話回答示劍，和他父親哈抹。14 對他們說，我們不能把我們的妹子給沒有受割禮的人為妻，因為那是我們的羞辱。
The Condition of Circumcision
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you: if you will become like us, in that every male of you will be circumcised, 16 then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people. 17 But if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go." 18 Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son. 19 The young man did not delay to do this, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
15 惟有一件纔可以應允，若你們所有的男丁都受割禮，和我們一樣，16 我們就把女兒給你們，也娶你們的女兒，我們便與你們同住，兩下成為一樣的人民。17 倘若你們不聽從我們受割禮，我們就帶著妹子走了。18 哈抹和他的兒子示劍喜歡這話。19 那少年人作這事並不遲延，因為他喜愛雅各的女兒，他在他父親家中也是人最尊重的。
Hamor Persuades the City
20 So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the people of their city, saying, 21 "These men are friendly to us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. We will take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised just as they are circumcised. 23 Will their livestock and their property and all their animals not be ours? Let's just consent to them, and they will live with us."
20 哈抹和他兒子示劍到本城的門口，對本城的人說，21 這些人與我們和睦，不如許他們在這地居住作買賣，這地也寬闊，足可容下他們，我們可以娶他們的女兒為妻，也可以把我們的女兒嫁給他們。22 惟有一件事我們必須作，他們纔肯應允，和我們同住，成為一樣的人民，就是我們中間所有的男丁，都要受割禮，和他們一樣。23 他們的群畜，貨財，和一切的牲口，豈不都歸我們麼，只要依從他們，他們就與我們同住。
Simeon and Levi Take Revenge
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. 25 Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city undetected, and killed every male. 26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left. 27 Jacob's sons came upon those killed and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.
24 凡從城門出入的人，就都聽從哈抹和他兒子示劍的話，於是凡從城門出入的男丁，都受了割禮。25 到第三天，眾人正在疼痛的時候，雅各的兩個兒子，就是底拿的哥哥，西緬和利未，各拿刀劍，趁著眾人想不到的時候，來到城中，把一切男丁都殺了。26 又用刀殺了哈抹和他兒子示劍，把底拿從示劍家裡帶出來，就走了。27 雅各的兒子們因為他們的妹子受了玷污，就來到被殺的人那裡，擄掠那城，
Jacob's Household Is Threatened
28 They took their flocks, their herds, and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field; 29 and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even everything that was in the houses. 30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me repulsive among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since my men are few in number, they will band together against me and attack me, and I will be destroyed, I and my household!" 31 But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?"
28 奪了他們的羊群，牛群，和驢，並城裡田間所有的。29 又把他們一切貨財，孩子，婦女，並各房中所有的，都擄掠去了。30 雅各對西緬和利未說，你們連累我，使我在這地的居民中，就是在迦南人，和比利洗人中，有了臭名，我的人丁既然稀少，他們必聚集來擊殺我，我和全家的人，都必滅絕。31 他們說，他豈可待我們的妹子如同妓女麼。
