Genesi 34

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 - Dina, figlia di Lia, uscì per vedere le donne di quella regione.	1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Sichem, figlio di Hemor heveo, principe di quella terra, avendola vista, se ne invaghì, la rapì, e con la forza le fece violenza.	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.
3 Poi, l'anima di lui s'attaccò ad essa, e vedendola triste la consolò con carezze.	3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 E andato ad Hemor padre suo, disse: «Chiedi per me in moglie questa fanciulla».	4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 Il che avendo udito Giacobbe, nell'assenza dei figli occupati a pascer gli armenti, tacque finchè furon tornati.	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.
6 Uscito Hemor padre di Sichem, per parlare a Giacobbe,	6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 ecco i suoi figli tornavan dai campi. Udito quel che era avvenuto, s'adirarono grandemente, perchè quegli aveva commesso un misfatto.	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.
8 Hemor pertanto disse loro: «L'anima di Sichem mio figlio, s'è attaccata alla vostra figliuola; dategliela in moglie,	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.
9 e stringiamo vicendevoli maritaggi; dateci le vostre figliuole, prendete le figliuole nostre,	9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 ed abitate fra noi; la terra è in vostro potere, lavoratela, industriatevi, possedetela».	10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 Anche Sichem diceva al padre ed ai fratelli di lei: «Ch'io trovi favore innanzi a voi, e vi darò tutto quel che chiederete.	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.
12 Chiedete pur grande la dote, e grandi donativi, e volentieri darò quanto richiederete; soltanto, datemi in moglie questa fanciulla».	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.
13 I figli di Giacobbe, esacerbati per la violenza fatta alla sorella, risposero a Sichem ed al padre suo con inganno:	13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 «Non possiamo fare quel che domandate, nè dare la nostra sorella ad un incirconciso; che è cosa illecita ed obbrobriosa per noi.	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:
15 Ma potremo fare alleanza con voi, se vorrete far come noi, e circoncidere tutti i vostri maschi.	15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Allora ci daremo e prenderemo scambievolmente le figliuole vostre e le nostre, abiteremo con voi, e formeremo un sol popolo.	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.
17 Ma se non vorrete essere circoncisi, riprenderemo le nostre figliuole, e ce ne andremo via».	17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 Piacque la loro proposta ad Hemor ed a Sichem suo figlio.	18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19 Nè differì il giovane, ma subito fece quanto gli era richiesto; amava infatti molto la fanciulla, ed era molto considerato nella casa del padre suo.	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.
20 Tornati dunque alla porta della città dissero al popolo:	20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 «Questi uomini sono pacifici, e vogliono abitare fra noi; traffichino in questa terra, e la lavorino, che è grande e vasta, ed ha bisogno di coltivatori; noi prenderemo in mogli le loro figliuole, e daremo a loro le nostre.	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.
22 Una cosa sola manca a conseguire un tanto bene: che circoncidiamo i nostri maschi, imitando il costume della loro gente;	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.
23 allora, i loro averi ed armenti, e tutti i loro beni saranno nostri; adattiamoci a questa cosa sola, ed abitando con loro faremo un sol popolo».	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.
24 Tutti acconsentirono, e tutti i maschi furon circoncisi.	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.
25 Ed ecco, al terzo giorno, quando è più forte il dolore delle ferite, i due figli di Giacobbe Simeone e Levi, fratelli di Dina, impugnate le spade, entrarono nella città senza timore; uccisero 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.
26 uccisero anche Hemor e Sichem, e portaron via dalla casa di Sichem la propria sorella Dina.	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.
27 Usciti essi, gli altri figli di Giacobbe irruppero sui caduti, e devastarono la città per vendicare l'oltraggio.	27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Rapirono le loro pecore, gli armenti, gli asini, tutto quello che v'era per le case e nei campi,	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,
29 e fecero prigionieri i fanciulli e le donne.	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.
30 Il che avendo ferocemente compiuto, disse Giacobbe a Simeone e Levi: «Voi mi avete addolorato, e m'avete reso odioso ai Cananei e Ferezei abitatori di queste terre. Noi siamo pochi: quelli si raduneranno, e mi assaliranno, e perirò io con la mia casa».	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.
31 Risposero: «Dovevan forse abusare della nostra sorella, come di una cortigiana?».	31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
