1 Mosebog 34

¹ Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre,

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

³ men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende;

³ He was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.

⁵ Jakob hørte, at han havde skændet hans Datter Dina; men da hans Sønner dengang var med hans Kvæg på Marken, tav han, til de kom hjem."

⁵ Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.

⁷ Men da Jakobs Sønner hørte det, kom de hjem fra Marken; og Mændene græmmede sig og var såre opbragte, fordi han havde øvet Skændselsdåd i Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter; thi sligt bør ikke ske.

⁷ Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

⁹ og indgå Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre;

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

¹¹ Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: "Måtte jeg finde Nåde for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give

¹¹ Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, “If I find favor in your sight, then I will give whatever you say to me.

¹³ Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi. han havde skændet deres Søster Dina,

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

¹⁵ Kun på det Vilkår vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære;

¹⁵ Only on this condition will we consent to you: if you will become like us, in that every male of you be circumcised,

¹⁷ men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, så tager vi vor Datter og drager bort"

¹⁷ But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.”

¹⁹ og den unge Mand tøvede ikke med at gøre således, thi han var indtaget i Jakobs Datter, og han var den, der havde mest at sige i sin Faders Hus

¹⁹ The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.

²¹ "Disse Mænd er os velsindede; lad dem bosætte sig og drage frit om her i Landet, der er jo Plads nok til dem i Landet; deres Døtre vil vi tage til Hustruer og give dem vore Døtre til Hustruer!

²¹ “These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.

²³ Deres Hjorde og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg bliver jo dog vort; lad os derfor føje dem, så de kan blive boende hos os!"

²³ Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us.”

²⁵ Men Tredjedagen, da de havde Sårfeber, tog Jakobs to Sønner Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd, trængte ind i Byen, uden at nogen anede Uråd, 0g slog alle Mændene ihjel

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 unawares, and killed every male.

²⁷ Så kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster;

²⁷ Jacob’s sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.

²⁹ og al deres Ejendom og alle deres Børn og Kvinder førte de bort som Bytte, og de udplyndrede Byen for alt, hvad der var der.

²⁹ and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.

³¹ Men de svarede: "Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!" 

³¹ But they said, “Should he treat our sister as a harlot?”
