Genesi (تكوين) 34

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وخرجت دينة ابنة ليئة التي ولدتها ليعقوب لتنظر بنات الارض.	1 And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country.
2 فرآها شكيم ابن حمور الحوّي رئيس الارض واخذها واضطجع معها واذلّها.	2 And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin.
3 وتعلقت نفسه بدينة ابنة يعقوب واحب الفتاة ولاطف الفتاة.	3 And his soul was fast knit unto her, and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words.
4 فكلم شكيم حمور اباه قائلا خذ لي هذه الصبية زوجة.	4 And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife.
5 وسمع يعقوب انه نجّس دينة ابنته. واما بنوه فكانوا مع مواشيه في الحقل. فسكت يعقوب حتى جاءوا	5 But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back.
6 فخرج حمور ابو شكيم الى يعقوب ليتكلم معه.	6 And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob,
7 واتى بنو يعقوب من الحقل حين سمعوا. وغضب الرجال واغتاظوا جدا لانه صنع قباحة في اسرائيل بمضاجعة ابنة يعقوب. وهكذا لا يصنع.	7 Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter,
8 وتكلم حمور معهم قائلا شكيم ابني قد تعلّقت نفسه بابنتكم. اعطوه اياها زوجة.	8 And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife:
9 وصاهرونا. تعطوننا بناتكم وتأخذون لكم بناتنا.	9 And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters and take you our daughters,
10 وتسكنون معنا وتكون الارض قدامكم. اسكنوا واتجروا فيها وتملّكوا بها.	10 And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade,and possess it.
11 ثم قال شكيم لابيها ولاخوتها دعوني اجد نعمة في اعينكم. فالذي تقولون لي اعطي.	11 Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favor in your sight: and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give.
12 كثّروا عليّ جدا مهّرا وعطية. فاعطي كما تقولون لي. واعطوني الفتاة زوجة	12 Raise the dowery,, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife.
13 فاجاب بنو يعقوب شكيم وحمور اباه بمكر وتكلموا. لانه كان قد نجّس دينة اختهم.	13 The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister:
14 فقالوا لهما لا نستطيع ان نفعل هذا الامر ان نعطي اختنا لرجل اغلف. لانه عار لنا.	14 We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.
15 غير اننا بهذا نواتيكم. ان صرتم مثلنا بختنكم كل ذكر	15 But in this way may we be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:
16 نعطيكم بناتنا ونأخذ لنا بناتكم ونسكن معكم ونصير شعبا واحدا.	16 Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:
17 وان لم تسمعوا لنا ان تختتنوا نأخذ ابنتنا ونمضي	17 But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart:
18 فحسن كلامهم في عيني حمور وفي عيني شكيم بن حمور.	18 Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem his son:
19 ولم يتأخر الغلام ان يفعل الامر. لانه كان مسرورا بابنة يعقوب. وكان اكرم جميع بيت ابيه.	19 And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house.
20 فاتى حمور وشكيم ابنه الى باب مدينتهما وكلما اهل مدينتهما قائلين.	20 And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:
21 هؤلاء القوم مسالمون لنا. فليسكنوا في الارض ويتجروا فيها. وهوذا الارض واسعة الطرفين امامهم. نأخذ لنا بناتهم زوجات ونعطيهم بناتنا.	21 These men are peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.
22 غير انه بهذا فقط يواتينا القوم على السكن معنا لنصير شعبا واحدا. بختننا كل ذكر كما هم مختونون.	22 One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.
23 ألا تكون مواشيهم ومقتناهم وكل بهائمهم لنا. نواتيهم فقط فيسكنون معنا.	23 And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.
24 فسمع لحمور وشكيم ابنه جميع الخارجين من باب المدينة. واختتن كل ذكر. كل الخارجين من باب المدينة	24 And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.
25 فحدث في اليوم الثالث اذ كانوا متوجعين ان ابني يعقوب شمعون ولاوي اخوي دينة اخذا كل واحد سيفه وأتيا على المدينة بامن وقتلا كل ذكر.	25 And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:
26 وقتلا حمور وشكيم ابنه بحد السيف. واخذا دينة من بيت شكيم وخرجا.	26 And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem's house.
27 ثم اتى بنو يعقوب على القتلى ونهبوا المدينة. لانهم نجّسوا اختهم.	27 And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape.
28 غنمهم وبقرهم وحميرهم وكل ما في المدينة وما في الحقل اخذوه.	28 And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields.
29 وسبوا ونهبوا كل ثروتهم وكل اطفالهم ونساءهم وكل ما في البيوت	29 and their children and wives they took captive,
30 فقال يعقوب لشمعون ولاوي كدّرتماني بتكريهكما اياي عند سكّان الارض الكنعانيين والفرزّيين وانا نفر قليل. فيجتمعون عليّ ويضربونني فأبيد انا وبيتي.	30 And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land: we are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house, shall be destroyed.
31 فقالا أنظير زانية يفعل باختنا	31 They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet?
