Genesis, 34

1. Then Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to see the women of that region.

1. Dina, kæi koju je Lea rodila Jakovu, iziðe da posjeti neke žene onoga kraja.

2. And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of that land, had seen her, he fell in love with her. And so he seized her and slept with her, overwhelming the virgin by force.

2. Opazi je Hivijac Šekem, sin Hamora, poglavice kraja, pa je pograbi i na silu s njom leže.

3. And his soul was closely bound to her, and, since she was sorrowful, he soothed her with flattery.

3. Njegovo srce prione za Dinu, Jakovljevu kæer, i on se u djevojku zaljubi. Nastojao je pridobiti djevojèino srce.

4. And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”

4. Šekem je govorio i svom ocu Hamoru: "Onu mi djevojku uzmi za ženu!"

5. But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.

5. Jakov sazna da je Šekem obešèastio njegovu kæer Dinu. Ali kako su njegovi sinovi bili uz blago na polju, Jakov nije poduzimao ništa dok oni ne doðu.

6. Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,

6. Uto doðe k Jakovu Šekemov otac Hamor da se s njim sporazumije,

7. behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.

7. upravo kad su se Jakovljevi sinovi vraæali iz polja. Kad su èuli vijest, ljudi su bili ojaðeni i vrlo ljuti. Što je Šekem uèinio - legavši s Jakovljevom kæeri - u Izraelu je bila sramota. To se nije smjelo trpjeti.

8. And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.

8. Hamor im reèe. "Moj se sin Šekem svom dušom zaljubio u vašu kæer. Dajte mu je za ženu!

9. And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.

9. Oprijateljite se s nama: dajite nam svoje kæeri, a naše kæeri uzimajte sebi!

10. And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”

10. Tako možete živjeti meðu nama; zemlja je pred vama da se naselite, u njoj se slobodno kreæete i stjeèete imovinu!"

11. And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.

11. Potom Šekem reèe njezinu ocu i njezinoj braæi: "Da naðem milost u vašim oèima, dat æu vam što zatražite.

12. Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”

12. Tražite od mene koliko hoæete: sve što god zapitate dat æu, samo mi dajte djevojku za ženu."

13. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:

13. Jakovljevi sinovi odgovore Šekemu i njegovu ocu Hamoru - govorili su s prijevarom jer je obešèastio njihovu sestru Dinu -

14. “We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.

14. te im rekoše: "Ne možemo pristati da svoju sestru damo èovjeku koji nije obrezan, jer bi to za nas bila sramota.

15. But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.

15. Jedino æemo je dati ako postanete kao i mi, ako obrežete sve svoje muškarce.

16. Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live with you, and we will become one people.

16. Onda vam možemo davati svoje kæeri i uzimati vaše sebi, s vama se naseliti i biti jedan rod.

17. But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and withdraw.”

17. A ako ne pristajete na obrezanje, uzet æemo svoju kæer i otiæi."

18. Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.

18. Hamoru i Šekemu, Hamorovu sinu, njihov se zahtjev uèini povoljan.

19. Neither did the young man cause any delay; in fact he immediately fulfilled what was requested. For he loved the girl very much, and he was well-known throughout his father’s house.

19. Mladiæ nije èasio da zahtjev izvrši, jer je èeznuo za Jakovljevom kæeri; a bio je najuvaženiji od svih u oèevu domu.

20. And entering at the gate of the city, they spoke to the people:

20. Tako Hamor i njegov sin Šekem doðu u svoje gradsko vijeæe i obrate se svojim sugraðanima ovako:

21. “These men are peaceful, and they want to live among us. Let them trade in the land and cultivate it, for, being spacious and broad, it is in need of cultivation. We will receive their daughters as wives, and we will give them ours.

21. "Ovaj je svijet prijazan; neka se meðu nama u zemlji nasele; neka se po njoj slobodno kreæu; ima dosta prostora u zemlji za njih; možemo uzimati njihove kæeri sebi za žene, a njima davati svoje.

22. There is one thing that prevents so great a good: whether we will circumcise our males, imitating the ritual of their nation.

22. No ljudi æe pristati da meðu nama žive i s nama budu jedan rod samo ako se svi naši muškarci obrežu kao što su oni obrezani.

23. And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, will be ours, if only we will acquiesce to this, and so, in living together, will form one people.”

23. Zar tako ne bi stoka koju su stekli, sve njihovo blago - bilo naše? Pristanimo, pa neka se meðu nama nasele!"

24. And they all agreed to circumcise every one of the males.

24. Svi odrasli muškarci koji imaju pravo izaæi na gradska vrata poslušaše Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, pa bude obrezan svaki muškarac - svaki koji ima pravo izaæi na gradska vrata.

25. And behold, on the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, boldly entered the city with swords. And they put to death all of the males.

25. A treæega dana, dok su oni još bili u bolovima, dva Jakovljeva sina, Šimun i Levi, Dinina braæa, pograbe svaki svoj maè i nesmetano doðu u grad te poubijaju sve muškarce.

26. They killed Hamor and Shechem together, taking their sister Dinah from the house of Shechem.

26. Sasijeku maèem Hamora i njegova sina Šekema, uzmu Dinu iz Šekemove kuæe i odu.

27. And when they had departed, the other sons of Jacob rushed over the slain, and they plundered the city in vengeance for the rape.

27. Ostali Jakovljevi sinovi doðu na ubijene i opustoše grad što je njihova sestra bila obešèašæena.

28. Taking their sheep, and herds, and donkeys, and laying waste to everything else that was in their houses and in their fields,

28. Što je bilo krupne i sitne stoke i magaradi, u gradu i u polju, otjeraju;

29. they also took their little ones and their wives captive.

29. opljaèkaju sva njihova dobra, a svu im djecu i žene - sve što je bilo po kuæama - odvedu u roblje.

30. When they had boldly completed these acts, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: “You have troubled me, and you have made me hateful to the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few. They, gathering themselves together, may strike me down, and then both I and my house will be wiped away.”

30. Jakov reèe Šimunu i Leviju: "Uveli ste me u nepriliku omrazivši me stanovnicima zemlje, Kanaancima i Perižanima. Ako se ujedine protiv mene i napadnu me, dok je nas ovako malo na broj, istrijebit æe me s mojim domom."

31. They responded, “Should they abuse our sister like a prostitute?”

31. Oni odgovore: "Zar da prema našoj sestri postupaju kao prema kakvoj bludnici?"
