Genesis 34

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.	1 Ma Dina figliuola di Lia uscì di casa per vedere le donne di quel paese.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.	2 E avendola veduta Sichem figliuolo di Hemor Heveo, principe di quella terra, se ne innamorò: e rapilla, e violentemente disonorò la fanciulla.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.	3 E concepì per lei un'ardente passione, ed essendo ella afflitta l'acquietò con carezze.
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.	4 E andato dal padre suo Hemor: Prendi, disse, per me in moglie questa fanciulla.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.	5 La qual cosa avendo udita Giacobbe, mentre i figli erano assenti, e occupati a pascer le pecore, si tacque finché non furon tornati.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.	6 Ma essendo andato Hemor, padre di Sichem, a parlare a Giacobbe;
7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.	7 Eccoti che i figliuoli di lui tornavan dalla campagna: e inteso quel ch'era avvenuto, ne concepirono grande sdegno, perché sì brutta cosa avesse fatta (Sichem) contro Israele, e violata la figliuola di Giacobbe, avesse commesso un'azione vituperosa.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.	8 Disse pertanto ad essi Hemor: L'anima di Sichem mio figlio è unita inseparabilmente a questa vostra fanciulla: dategliela in moglie.
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.	9 E facciamo scambievoli matrimoni; date le vostre fanciulle a noi, e sposate delle nostre fanciulle.
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.	10 E abitate tra noi: la terra è in poter vostro, lavoratela, trafficate, voi siete i padroni.
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.	11 Anzi lo stesso Sichem disse al padre, e a' fratelli di lei: Piegatevi a' miei desideri, e darò tutto quello che vi parrà.
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.	12 Augumentate la dote, e chiedete donora, e volentieri darò quello che chiederete: purché mi diate in moglie questa fanciulla.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:	13 Risposero i figliuoli di Giacobbe a Sichem, e al padre di lui con fraude, essendo esacerbati pel disonore della sorella:
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:	14 Non possiam fare quello che voi bramate, né dar la nostra sorella ad un uomo incirconciso: la qual cosa è illecita, e abbominevole presso di noi.
15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;	15 Ma potrem fare alleanza con questa condizione, se vorrete farvi simili a noi, e se si circoncideranno tra voi tutti i maschi;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.	16 Allora vi daremo le nostre fanciulle, e prenderem parimente le vostre: e abiteremo con voi, e faremo un sol popolo.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.	17 Ma se non vorrete circoncidervi, prenderemo la nostra fanciulla, e ce ne anderemo.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.	18 Piacque la loro offerta ad Hemor, e a Sichem suo figliuolo.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.	19 E il giovane non differì ad eseguire quello che era stato richiesto: perocché amava grandemente la fanciulla, ed egli era in grande onore presso tutta la famiglia del padre suo.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,	20 Ed entrati dentro la porta della città, dissero al popolo:
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.	21 Costoro son buona gente, e amano di abitare tra noi: trafficheranno qui, e lavoreranno la terra, la quale, spaziosa e vasta com'è, ha bisogno di coltivatori: noi sposeremo le loro fanciulle, e daremo loro delle nostre.
22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.	22 Una sola cosa è d'ostacolo a un bene si grande: vuolsi, che noi circoncidiamo i nostri maschi, imitando il rito di questa gente.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.	23 Con questo saran nostre le loro ricchezze, e i bestiami, e tutto quello ch'ei posseggono: accordiamoci solo in questo, e vivendo insieme faremo un sol popolo.
24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.	24 Diedero tutti il loro assenso, e circoncisero tutti i maschi.
25 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 man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.	25 Ed ecco il terzo giorno, quando il dolore delle ferite è più acerbo, i due figli di Giacobbe, Simeone, e Levi, fratelli di Dina, impugnate le spade, entrarono a man salva nella città: e uccisi tutti i maschi,
26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.	26 Trucidarono anche Hemor, e Sichem, e tolsero Dina loro sorella dalla casa di Sichem.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.	27 E quando questi si furono ritirati, gli altri figliuoli di Giacobbe si gettarono sopra gli uccisi: e saccheggiarono la città per vendetta dello stupro.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,	28 Preser le loro pecore, e gli armenti, e gli asini, e diedero il guasto a quanto era per le case, e alla campagna.
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.	29 E menarono anche schiavi i fanciulli, e le donne loro.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.	30 Eseguite che ebbero essi queste cose con tanta audacia disse Giacobbe a Simeon, e a Levi: Voi mi avete posto in affanno, e mi avete renduto odioso ai Chananei, e a' Pherezei, abitatori di questa terra: noi siam pochi: quegli uniti insieme mi verranno addosso, e io sarò sterminato con la mia famiglia.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?	31 Risposer quegli: E dovean essi trattar la nostra sorella come una donna di mal affare?
