1 و َخَرَجَتْ دِينَةُ ابْنَةُ لَيئَةَ وَيَعقُوبَ لِتَرَى بَناتِ تِلْكَ المَنطَقَةِ.

And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2 ف َرَآها شَكِيمُ بْنِ حَمُورَ، رَئِيسَ تِلْكَ المَنطَقَةِ، فَأمْسَكَ بِها وَاغتَصَبَها.

And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.

3 ل َكِنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِدِينَةَ ابْنَةِ يَعقُوبَ. أحَبَّ الفَتاةَ وَكانَ رَقِيقاً مَعَها.

And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.

4 ف َقالَ شَكِيمُ لِأبِيهِ حَمُورَ: «زَوِّجْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ البِنْتِ!»

And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.

5 و َسَمِعَ يَعقُوبُ أنَّ شَكِيمَ اعتَدَى عَلَى ابْنَتِهِ دِينَةَ. وَكانَ أولادُهُ مَعَ الماشِيَةِ فِي الحَقلِ، فانتَظَرَ إلَى أنْ يَأْتُوا.

And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.

6 و َخَرَجَ حَمُورُ، أبو شَكِيمَ، إلَى يَعقُوبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.

And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.

7 و َفِي هَذا الوَقْتِ، رَجِعَ أولادُ يَعقُوبَ مِنَ الحَقلِ. فَلَمّا سَمِعُوا بِما حَدَثَ، اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُمْ وَسَخَطُهُمْ، إذْ فَعَلَ شَكِيمُ أمراً مُشِيناً فِي إسْرائِيلَ بِاغْتِصابِ ابْنَةِ يَعقُوبَ. فَما كانَ يَنبَغِي لِمِثلِ هَذا أنْ يَحْدُثَ.

And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

8 ف َقالَ حَمُورُ لَهُمْ: «قَدْ تَعَلَّقَ قَلبُ ابْنِي شَكِيمُ بِابْنَتِكُمْ، فَزَوِّجُوها لَهُ.

And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.

9 ص اهِرُونا. زَوِّجُونا مِنْ بَناتِكُمْ، وَتَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ بَناتِنا.

And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.

10 و َاسْتَقِرُّوا بَينَنا. فَالأرْضُ مَفْتُوحَةٌ أمامَكُمْ. اسْتَقِرُّوا وَتاجِرُوا وَتَمَلَّكُوا أراضِيَ فِيها.»

And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.

11 و َقالَ شَكِيمُ لِأبِيها وَإخوَتِها: «اقْبَلُونِي، وَسَأُعطِيكُمْ ما تَطلُبُونَ.

And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes; and what ye shall say to me I will give.

12 ا رفَعُوا قِيمَةَ المَهْرِ وَالهَدايا بِقَدْرِ ما شِئْتُمْ، وَسَأُعطِيكُمْ كُلَّ ما تَأْمُرُونَنِي بِهِ، لَكِنْ زَوِّجُونِي مِنَ البِنتِ.»

Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as wife.

13 ف َأجابَ أولادُ يَعقُوبَ شَكِيمَ وَأباهُ حَمُورَ بِطَرِيقَةٍ ماكِرَةٍ، لِأنَّهُ اعتَدَى عَلَى أُختِهِمْ.

And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke—because he had defiled Dinah their sister—

14 ق الُوا لَهُمْ: «لا نَقْدِرُ أنْ نَفعَلَ هَذا الأمْرَ. لا يُمكِنُنا أنْ نُزَوِّجَ أُختَنا مِنْ رَجُلٍ غَيرِ مَختُونٍ، فَهَذا عارٌ لَنا.

and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that a reproach to us.

15 ف َلا نُوافِقَكُمْ عَلَى طَلَبِكُمْ إلّا بِشَرطٍ، وَهُوَ أنْ تُصبِحُوا مِثلَنا بِأنْ تَختِنُوا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ بَينَكُمْ.

But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;

16 ح ِينَئِذٍ، سَنُزَوِّجُكُمْ مِنْ بَناتِنا، وَسَنَتَزَوَّجُ مِنْ بَناتِكُمْ، وَسَنَسْتَقِرُّ بَينَكُمْ، وَنُصْبِحُ شَعباً واحِداً.

then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.

17 ل َكِنْ إذا لَمْ تَستَمِعُوا لَنا وَتَختَتِنُوا، فَسَنَأْخُذُ ابْنَتَنا وَنَرْحَلُ.»

But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.

18 ف َاسْتَحْسَنَ حَمُورُ وَشَكِيمُ هَذا الكَلامَ.

And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

19 و َلَمْ يَتَرَدَّدِ الشّابُّ فِي فِعلِ ما طُلِبَ مِنْهُ، لِأنَّهُ فُتِنَ بِابْنَةِ يَعقُوبَ. وَكانَ شَكِيمُ ذا شأنٍ كَبيرٍ فِي بَيتِ أبِيهِ.

And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in the house of his father.

20 ف َذَهَبَ حَمُورُ وَابْنُهُ شَكِيمُ إلَى بَوّابَةِ مَدِينَتِهِما. وَقالا لِرِجالِ المَدِينَةِ:

And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

21 « هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجالُ طَيِّبُونَ مَعَنا. فَلْنَدَعْهُمْ يَسْتَقِرُّونَ فِي الأرْضِ وَيُتاجِرُونَ فِيها. فَها الأرْضُ تَتَّسِعُ لَهُمْ وَلَنا. وَلْنَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ بَناتِهِمْ، وَلْنُزَوِّجهُمْ مِنْ بَناتِنا.

These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land—behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and give them our daughters.

22 غ َيرَ أنَّ لِهَؤُلاءِ القَوْمِ شَرْطاً لِكَي يَسْتَقِرُّوا بَينَنا، وَيَكُونُوا شَعباً واحِداً مَعَنا. وَهُوَ أنْ يُختَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنّا مِثلَهُمْ.

But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people—if every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.

23 س َتَكُونُ قُطْعانُهُمْ وَأملاكُهُمْ وَجَمِيعُ حَيواناتِهِمْ لَنا. لَكِنْ يَنبَغِي أنْ نُوافِقَ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمْ لِيَسْتَقِرُّوا بَينَنا.»

Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.

24 ف َوافَقَ جَمِيعُ أهلُ المَدِينَةِ حَمُورَ وَابْنَهُ شَكِيمَ عَلَى رَأْيِهِما. وَاختَتَنَ كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ أهلِ المَدِينَةِ.

And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised—all that went out at the gate of his city.

25 و َفِي اليَوْمِ الثّالِثِ كانَ رِجالُ المَدِينَةِ فِي ألَمٍ شَدِيدٍ. فَأخَذَ ابْنا يَعقُوبَ، شَمْعُونَ وَلاوِي، أخَوا دِينَةَ سَيفَيهِما، وَهاجَما أهلَ المَدِينَةِ السُّقَماءَ بِجَسارَةٍ. وَذَبَحا كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ فِيها.

And 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 his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

26 و َقَتَلا حَمُورَ وَابْنَهُ شَكِيمَ أيضاً. وَأخَذا دِينَةَ مِنْ بَيتِ شَكِيمَ، وَمَضَيا.

And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.

27 و َأتَى أبناءُ يَعقُوبَ الآخَرُونَ عَلَى جُثَثِ القَتلِى، وَنَهَبُوا المَدِينَةَ، لِأنَّ شَكِيمَ اعتَدَى عَلَى أُختِهِمْ.

The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 و َأخَذُوا ماشِيَتَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَحَمِيرَهُمْ وَكُلَّ ما كانَ فِي المَدِينَةِ وَفِي الحُقُولِ.

Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what in the city, and what in the field they took;

29 س َبَوا وَأخَذُوا كُلَّ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ وَنِسائِهِمْ وَأبْنائِهِمْ، وَكُلَّ ما فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ.

and all their goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses.

30 ف َقالَ يَعقُوبُ لِشَمْعُونَ وَلاوِي: «لَقَدْ أزْعَجْتُمانِي إذْ صِرْتُ مَكرُوهاً بَينَ قاطِنِي هَذِهِ البِلادِ مِنَ الكَنعانِيِّينَ وَالفِرِزِّيِّينَ. أنا وَعائِلَتِي قِلَّةٌ. لِهَذا أخشَى أنْ يَجتَمِعُوا عَلَينا، وَأنْ يُهاجِمُونا، فَيُدَمِّرُونا أنا وَأهلَ بَيتِي.»

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land—among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

31 ف َقالا لَهُ: «أكانَ يُفْتَرَضُ فِينا أنْ نَرضَى أنْ تُعامَلَ أُختُنا كَساقِطَةٍ؟»

And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
