Genesis 34
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
1ΕΞΗΛΘΕ δὲ Δείνα ἡ θυγάτηρ Λείας, ἣν ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακώβ, καταμαθεῖν τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἐγχωρίων.
2And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
2καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὴν Συχὲμ ὁ υἱὸς Ἐμμὼρ ὁ Εὐαῖος, ὁ ἄρχων τῆς γῆς καὶ λαβὼν αὐτήν, ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτήν.
3And his soul did cleave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke comfortingly unto the damsel.
3καὶ προσέσχε τῇ ψυχῇ Δείνας τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἠγάπησε τὴν παρθένον καὶ ἐλάλησε κατὰ τὴν διάνοιαν τῆς παρθένου αὐτῇ.
4And Shechem spoke unto his father Hamor, saying: 'Get me this damsel to wife.'
4εἶπε Συχὲμ πρὸς Ἐμμὼρ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ λέγων· λαβέ μοι τὴν παῖδα ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.
5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field; and Jacob held his peace until they came.
5Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἤκουσεν, ὅτι ἐμίανεν ὁ υἱὸς Ἐμμὼρ Δείναν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ· οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἦσαν μετὰ τῶν κτηνῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ. παρεσιώπησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτούς.
6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to speak with him.
6ἐξῆλθε δὲ Ἐμμὼρ ὁ πατὴρ Συχὲμ πρὸς Ἰακὼβ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ.
7And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought a vile deed in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
7οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ ἦλθον ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου· ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν, κατενύγησαν οἱ ἄνδρες, καὶ λυπηρὸν ἦν αὐτοῖς σφόδρα, ὅτι ἄσχημον ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ κοιμηθεὶς μετὰ τῆς θυγατρός Ἰακώβ, καὶ οὐχ οὕτως ἔσται.
8And Hamor spoke with them, saying 'The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter. I pray you give her unto him to wife.
8καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐμμὼρ αὐτοῖς λέγων· Συχὲμ ὁ υἱός μου προείλετο τῇ ψυχῇ τὴν θυγατέρα ὑμῶν· δότε οὖν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα
9And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
9καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύσασθε ἡμῖν· τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν δότε ἡμῖν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν λάβετε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν.
10And ye shall dwell with us; and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.'
10καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν κατοικεῖτε, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν· κατοικεῖτε καὶ ἐμπορεύεσθε ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐγκτᾶσθε ἐν αὐτῇ.
11And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren: 'Let me find favour in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
11εἶπε δὲ Συχὲμ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς· εὕροιμι χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπητε, δώσομεν.
12Ask 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.'
12πληθύνατε τὴν φερνὴν σφόδρα, καὶ δώσω καθότι ἂν εἴπητέ μοι, καὶ δώσατέ μοι τὴν παῖδα ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.
13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
13ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Συχὲμ καὶ Ἐμμὼρ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ μετὰ δόλου καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἐμίαναν Δείνα τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν,
14and said unto them: 'We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us.
14καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς Συμεὼν καὶ Λευὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Δείνας· οὐ δυνησόμεθα ποιῆσαι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, δοῦναι τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἡμῶν ἀνθρώπῳ, ὃς ἔχει ἀκροβυστίαν· ἔστι γὰρ ὄνειδος ἡμῖν.
15Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
15μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθησόμεθα ὑμῖν καὶ κατοικήσομεν ἐν ὑμῖν, ἐὰν γένησθε ὡς ἡμεῖς καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐν τῷ περιτμηθῆναι ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν.
16then 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.
16καὶ δώσομεν τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν ὑμῖν καὶ ἀπό τῶν θυγατέρων ὑμῶν ληψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας καὶ οἰκήσομεν παρ᾿ ὑμῖν καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὡς γένος ἕν.
17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.'
17ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εἰσακούσητε ἡμῶν τοῦ περιτεμέσθαι, λαβόντες τὴν θυγατέρα ἡμῶν ἀπελευσόμεθα.
18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
18καὶ ἤρεσαν οἱ λόγοι ἐναντίον Ἐμμὼρ καὶ ἐναντίον Συχὲμ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἐμμώρ.
19And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honoured above all the house of his father.
19καὶ οὐκ ἐχρόνισεν ὁ νεανίσκος τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο· ἐνέκειτο γὰρ τῇ θυγατρὶ Ἰακώβ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἦν ἐνδοξότατος πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
20And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:
20ἦλθε δὲ Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν λέγοντες·
21'These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for, behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
21οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι εἰρηνικοί εἰσι, μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν οἰκείτωσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐμπορευέσθωσαν αὐτήν, ἡ δὲ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν. τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ληψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν δώσομεν αὐτοῖς.
22Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
22ἐν τούτῳ μόνον ὁμοιωθήσονται ἡμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τοῦ κατοικεῖν μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν, ὥστε εἶναι λαὸν ἕνα, ἐν τῷ περιτεμέσθαι ἡμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν, καθὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ περιτέτμηνται.
23Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.'
23καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τετράποδα καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν οὐχ ἡμῶν ἔσται· μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθῶμεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ οἰκήσουσι μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν.
24And 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.
24καὶ εἰσήκουσαν Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐμπορευόμενοι τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν καὶ περιετέμοντο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν πᾶς ἄρσην.
25And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.
25ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὅτε ἦσαν ἐν τῷ πόνῳ, ἔλαβον οἱ δύο υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ Συμεὼν καὶ Λευὶ ἀδελφοὶ Δείνας ἕκαστος τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀσφαλῶς καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν·
26And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went forth.
26τόν τε Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας. καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Δείναν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Συχὲμ καὶ ἐξῆλθον.
27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
27οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ εἰσῆλθον ἐπὶ τοὺς τραυματίας καὶ διήρπασαν τὴν πόλιν, ἐν ᾗ ἐμίαναν Δείναν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν,
28They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
28καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς βόας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν, ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἔλαβον.
29and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and spoiled, even all that was in the house.
29καὶ πάντα τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ᾐχμαλώτευσαν, καὶ διήρπασαν ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις.
30And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: 'Ye have troubled me, to make me odious unto the inhabitants of the land, even unto the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.'
30εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Συμεὼν καὶ Λευί· μισητόν με πεποιήκατε, ὥστε πονηρόν με εἶναι πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσι τὴν γῆν, ἔν τε τοῖς Χαναναίοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς Φερεζαίοις· ἐγὼ δὲ ὀλιγοστός εἰμι ἐν ἀριθμῷ, καὶ συναχθέντες ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ συγκόψουσί με, καὶ ἐκτριβήσομαι ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου.
31And they said: 'Should one deal with our sister as with a harlot?'
31οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· ἀλλ᾿ ὡσεὶ πόρνῃ χρήσονται τῇ ἀδελφῇ ἡμῶν;
