1 D iná, filha de Léia, que esta tivera de Jacó, saiu para ver as filhas da terra.

Now Leah’s daughter Dinah, who was born to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.

2 V iu-a Siquém, filho de Hamor o heveu, príncipe da terra; e, tomando-a, deitou-se com ela e humilhou-a.

And she was seen by Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the land. He took her and made her lay with him, and she was put to shame.

3 A ssim se apegou a sua alma a Diná, filha de Jacó, e, amando a donzela, falou-lhe afetuosamente.

He had much desire for Dinah the daughter of Jacob. He loved the girl and spoke kind words to her.

4 E ntão disse Siquém a Hamor seu pai: Consegue-me esta donzela por mulher.

So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this young girl for a wife.”

5 O ra, Jacó ouviu que Siquém havia contaminado a Diná sua filha. Entretanto, estando seus filhos no campo com o gado, calou-se Jacó até que viessem.

Now Jacob heard that Shechem had put his daughter Dinah to shame. But his sons were with the flocks in the field, so Jacob kept quiet until they returned.

6 H amor, pai de Siquém, saiu a fim de falar com Jacó.

Then Shechem’s father Hamor went to speak with Jacob.

7 O s filhos de Jacó, pois, vieram do campo logo que souberam do caso; e entristeceram-se e iraram-se muito, porque Siquém havia cometido uma insensatez em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacó, coisa que não se devia fazer.

Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard what had happened. They were full of sorrow and were angry. For Shechem had put Israel to shame by lying with Jacob’s daughter. Such a thing should not be done.

8 E ntão falou Hamor com eles, dizendo: A alma de meu filho Siquém afeiçoou-se fortemente a vossa filha; dai-lha, peço-vos, por mulher.

But Hamor said to them, “The soul of my son Shechem has much desire for your daughter. I ask of you, give her to him in marriage.

9 T ambém aparentai-vos conosco; dai-nos as vossas filhas e recebei as nossas.

Marry with our people. Give your daughters to us. And take our daughters for yourselves.

10 A ssim habitareis conosco; a terra estará diante de vós; habitai e negociai nela, e nela adquiri propriedades.

May you live with us. And the land will be open to you. Live and trade in it, and buy land in it.”

11 D epois disse Siquém ao pai e aos irmãos dela: Ache eu graça aos vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes;

Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes. I will give you whatever you ask.

12 e xigi de mim o que quiserdes em dote e presentes, e darei o que me pedirdes; somente dai-me a donzela por mulher.

Make your price and wedding gift as much as you want. I will give you as much as you ask. Only give me the girl to be my wife.”

13 E ntão os filhos de Jacó, respondendo, falaram enganosamente a Siquém e a Hamor, seu pai, porque Siquém havia contaminado a Diná, sua irmã,

But Jacob’s sons lied in their answer to Shechem and his father Hamor because he had put their sister Dinah to shame.

14 e lhes disseram: Não podemos fazer p isto, dar a nossa irmã a um homem incircunciso; porque isso seria uma vergonha para nós.

They said to them, “We cannot do this. We cannot give our sister to one who has not gone through the religious act of having his flesh cut. For that would be a shame to us.

15 S ob esta única condição consentiremos; se vos tornardes como nós, circuncidando-se todo varão entre vós;

We will give you our sister only if you become like us. Every man among you must have this religious act done.

16 e ntão vos daremos nossas filhas a vós, e receberemos vossas filhas para nós; assim habitaremos convosco e nos tornaremos um só povo.

Then we will give our daughters to you. And we will marry your daughters. We will live with you and become one people.

17 M as se não nos ouvirdes, e não vos circuncidardes, levaremos nossa filha e nos iremos embora.

But if you will not listen to us and have this religious act done, then we will take our daughter and go.”

18 E suas palavras agradaram a Hamor e a Siquém, seu filho.

Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.

19 N ão tardou, pois, o mancebo em fazer isso, porque se agradava da filha de Jacó. Era ele o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.

The young man did not wait to do what they asked, because he was in love with Jacob’s daughter. And he was the most honored of all his family.

20 V ieram, pois, Hamor e Siquém, seu filho, ã porta da sua cidade, e falaram aos homens da cidade, dizendo:

So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city. And they said to the men of their city,

21 E stes homens são pacíficos para conosco; portanto habitem na terra e negociem nela, pois é bastante espaçosa para eles. Recebamos por mulheres as suas filhas, e lhes demos as nossas.

“These men want to be at peace with us. Let them live in the land and trade in it. For, see, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.

22 M as sob uma única condição é que consentirão aqueles homens em habitar conosco para nos tornarmos um só povo: se todo varão entre nós se circuncidar, como eles são circuncidados.

But the men will be willing to live with us and become one people only if every man among us goes through the religious act that they have gone through.

23 O seu gado, as suas aquisições, e todos os seus animais, não serão nossos? consintamos somente com eles, e habitarão conosco.

Will not their cattle and all they own, all their animals, be ours? Let us just do what they ask, and they will live with us.”

24 E deram ouvidos a Hamor e a Siquém, seu filho, todos os que saíam da porta da cidade; e foi circuncidado todo varão, todos os que saíam pela porta da sua cidade.

All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem. And every man went through the religious act of having his flesh cut, all who went out of the gate of his city.

25 A o terceiro dia, quando os homens estavam doridos, dois filhos de Jacó, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Diná, tomaram cada um a sua espada, entraram na cidade com toda a segurança e mataram todo varão.

But on the third day, when all the men were in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and went into the city in secret. And they killed every man.

26 M ataram também ao fio da espada a Hamor e a Siquém, seu filho; e, tirando Diná da casa de Siquém, saíram.

They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword. And they took Dinah from Shechem’s house and went away.

27 V ieram os filhos de Jacó aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto haviam contaminado a sua irmã.

Then Jacob’s sons went over the dead men and robbed the city of its riches because its men had put their sister to shame.

28 T omaram-lhes os rebanhos, os bois, os jumentos, e o que havia tanto na cidade como no campo;

They took their flocks and cattle and donkeys and whatever was in the city and in the field.

29 e todos os seus bens, e todos os seus pequeninos, e as suas mulheres, levaram por presa; e despojando as casas, levaram tudo o que havia nelas.

They took all their riches, their little ones, their wives, even all that was in the houses.

30 E ntão disse Jacó a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me perturbado, fazendo-me odioso aos habitantes da terra, aos cananeus e perizeus. Tendo eu pouca gente, eles se ajuntarão e me ferirão; e serei destruído, eu com minha casa.

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me hated by the people of the land, the Canaanites and Perizzites. My men are few in number. And these people will gather together against me and fight me. I and those of my house will be destroyed.”

31 A o que responderam: Devia ele tratar a nossa irmã como a uma prostituta?

But they said, “Should he act towards our sister as if she were a woman who sells the use of her body?”
