Genesis 34

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

1 一天，利亚给雅各所生的女儿底娜到外面去见当地的女子。

2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

2 当地首领希未人哈抹的儿子示剑看到她，就抓住她，强行玷污了她。

3 And his soul was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young girl and spoke to her tenderly.

3 他恋慕雅各的女儿底娜，爱上了这个少女，就用甜言蜜语讨她欢心。

4 So Shechem told his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”

4 他求父亲哈抹为他说亲，把底娜娶过来。

5 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.

5 底娜被玷污的消息传到雅各耳中时，他的儿子们正在田野放牧。他只好忍气吞声，等儿子们回来再作打算。

6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

6 示剑的父亲哈抹来和雅各商议。

7 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.

7 雅各的儿子们一听说这事，就从田野赶回来。大家都非常愤怒，因为示剑玷污了雅各的女儿，对以色列家做了不该做的丑事。

8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

8 哈抹跟他们商议说：“我儿子示剑爱慕你们家的女儿，请你们把女儿嫁给他吧！

9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

9 我们可以互相通婚，你们可以把女儿嫁给我们的儿子，也可以娶我们的女儿为妻。

10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”

10 你们可以在我们这里安顿下来，这片土地就在你们面前，住在这里做买卖、置产业吧。”

11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.

11 示剑对底娜的父亲和她的弟兄们说：“请你们恩待我，你们要什么，我都给你们。

12 Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”

12 只要你们把这少女嫁给我，无论你们要多少聘金和礼物，我必如数奉上。”

13 But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.

13 雅各的儿子们因为示剑玷污了他们的妹妹底娜，就假意对示剑和他的父亲哈抹说：

14 “We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.

14 “我们不能把妹妹嫁给没有受过割礼的人，这对我们是一种羞辱。

15 We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.

15 除非你们所有的男子都跟我们一样受割礼，我们才会答应你们，

16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.

16 我们才会和你们通婚，共同生活，结成一个民族。

17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”

17 如果你们不肯这样做，我们就把妹妹带走。”

18 Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.

18 哈抹父子欣然答应。

19 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.

19 示剑毫不迟延地照办，因为他热恋底娜。在哈抹家族中，他最受人尊重。

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

20 哈抹父子来到城门口，对那城的居民说：

21 “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.

21 “这些人跟我们相处和睦，就让他们在这里定居、做买卖吧。我们这里有足够的地方可以容纳他们，我们可以和他们通婚。

22 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.

22 可是，他们有一个条件，就是要我们所有的男子和他们一样接受割礼，他们才答应和我们一起生活，结成一个民族。

23 Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”

23 到时候，他们的财产和牛羊等所有牲畜不全归我们了吗？我们同意他们吧，这样他们就会在我们这里定居。”

24 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.

24 在城门进出的人听了哈抹父子的话，都表示赞同。于是，城里的男子都接受了割礼。

25 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.

25 到了第三天，他们伤口正疼痛的时候，雅各的两个儿子——底娜的哥哥西缅和利未拿着利剑，乘众人没有防备，进城杀掉了所有的男子，

26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

26 包括哈抹和示剑，从示剑家里带走了底娜。

27 Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.

27 雅各的众子又到被杀之人的城里掳掠，因为他们的妹妹在那里被人玷污。

28 They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.

28 他们抢走牛群、羊群、驴群和城里城外所有的东西，

29 They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.

29 并带走所有财物、妇孺以及房屋里的一切。

30 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.”

30 雅各责备西缅和利未说：“你们为什么要给我惹麻烦，使我在当地的迦南人和比利洗人中留下臭名呢？我们人数很少，要是他们联手来攻击我们，我们全家必遭灭门之祸。”

31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”

31 他们说：“他怎么能把我们的妹妹当妓女对待？”
