Genesis 34

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.	1 Ora Dina, figlia di Lia, uscì a vedere e 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 Sichem, figliolo di Hemor Eveo, principe del paese, avendola veduta, se ne innamorò e la rapì, con lei si giacque e la disonorò colla violenza.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.	3 E appassionato nell'anima per Dina che ne era afflitta, l'acquietò colle carezze;
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.	4 e poi andò a dire ad Hemor suo padre: « Prendimi questa fanciulla per moglie ».
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 Giacobbe, sebbene sapesse la cosa, pure, essendo i suoi figli assenti e occupati a pascere le pecore, si tacque fino al loro ritorno.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.	6 Or 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 ecco i figli di lui tornare dalla campagna. Essi, appena seppero quanto era avvenuto, si abbandonarono al furore contro chi aveva fatta azione si infame contro Israele, e violando la figlia di Giacobbe aveva commessa un'azione vituperevole.
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 Ma Hemor disse loro: «L'anima del mio figliolo non può stare lontana dalla vostra figlia: dategliela in moglie,
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.	9 e imparentatevi con noi, dandoci le vostre figliole e prendendo le nostre;
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 abitate con noi: la terra è a vostra disposizione: lavoratela, trafficateci, acquistatela ».
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 Ed anche Sichem diceva al padre ed ai fratelli di Dina: « Se io posso trovar grazia presso di voi, vi darò tutto quello che desiderate:
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 aumentate la dote, chiedete doni, ed io volentieri vi darò quanto chiederete; ma datemi questa fanciulla in moglie ».
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:	13 I figli di Giacobbe rispondendo a Sichem e a suo padre con inganno, perche esacerbati pel disonore della sorella, dissero:
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 possiamo far quanto bramate, nè dare la sorella ad un uomo incirconciso, perchè ciò presso di noi è cosa illecita e abominevole;
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 potremo fare alleanza, se vorrete farvi simili a noi, circoncidendo tra voi ogni maschio:
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 figliole e ci prenderemo le vostre, e abiteremo con voi e diventerei o un popolo solo.
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 vi volete circoncidere, prenderemo la nostra fanciulla e ce ne andremo ».
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.	18 La loro offerta piacque ad Hemor e a Sichem suo figlio,
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 il quale non tardò ad eseguire quanto gli era richiesto, perchè portava grande amore alla fanciulla ed era il più onorato in tutta la casa di suo padre.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,	20 Hemor e Sichem allora andarono alla porta della città e 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 « Questi uomini sono pacifici e desiderano abitar con noi: permettiamo loro di trafficare in questa terra e di lavorarla, giacché è spaziosa e vasta ed ha bisogno di coltivatori; prenderemo poi in moglie le loro figliole e daremo loro le 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 allontana tanto bene: bisogna circoncidere 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 Ma cosi le loro ricchezze, i loro bestiami e tutto quello che posseggono sarà nostro. Basta accordarsi in questo soltanto, per vivere insieme e formare 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 Tutti diedero il loro assenso e tutti i maschi furono circoncisi.
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 Ma ecco al terzo giorno, quando il dolore del taglio è più acerbo, i due figli di Giacobbe, Simeone e Levi, fratelli di Dina, impugnate le spade, entrare a man salva nella città ed uccidere 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 dalla casa di Sichem la loro sorella Dina.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.	27 E, usciti loro, si gettarono sopra gli uccisi gli altri figli di Giacobbe, e saccheggiarono la città per vendicarsi 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 Presero loro le pecore, gli armenti e gli asini, e devastarono quanto era nelle case e nella 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 di più menarono in schiavitù i fanciulli e le loro donne.
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 Finita questa audace impresa, Giacobbe disse a Simeone e a Levi: « Voi mi procurate grandi affanni, avendomi reso odioso ai Cananei ed ai Ferezei abitatori di questa terra. Noi siam pochi, e se essi uniti insieme mi verranno addosso, io sarò sterminato colla mia famiglia ».
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?	31 E quelli risposero: « Dovevano essi abusare di nostra sorella come di una meretrice? »
