Genesis 34

And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.

Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Δείνα, ἡ θυγάτηρ Λείας, ἣν ἔτεκε τῷ Ἰακώβ, καταμαθεῖν τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἐγχωρίων.

And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.

Καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὴν Συχὲμ ὁ υἱὸς Ἐμμὼρ ὁ Εὐαῖος, ὁ ἄρχων τῆς γῆς· καὶ λαβὼν αὐτὴν, ἐκοιμήθη μετʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτήν.

And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.

Καὶ προσέσχε τῇ ψυχῇ Δείνας τῆς θυγατρὸς Ἰακώβ· καὶ ἠγάπησε τὴν παρθένον· καὶ ἐλάλησε κατὰ τὴν διάνοιαν τῆς παρθένου αυτῇ.

Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.

Εἶπε Συχὲμ πρὸς Ἐμμὼρ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, λέγων, λάβε μοι τὴν παῖδα ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.

And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.

Ἰακὼβ 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.

And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.

Ἐξῆλθε δὲ Ἐμμὼρ ὁ πατὴρ Συχὲμ πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ.

And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because the man wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.

Οἱ 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 θυγατρὸς Ἰακώβ· καὶ οὐχ οὕτως ἔσται.

And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,

Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐμμὼρ αὐτοῖς, λέγων, Συχὲμ ὁ υἱός μου προείλετο τῇ ψυχῇ τὴν θυγατέρα ὑμῶν· δότε οὖν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα,

and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.

καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύσασθε ἡμῖν· τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν δότε ἡμῖν, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν λάβετε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν.

And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in it.

Καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν κατοικεῖτε· καὶ ἡ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν· κατοικεῖτε, καὶ ἐμπορεύεσθε ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐγκτᾶσθε ἐν αὐτῇ.

And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever ye shall name.

Εἶπε δὲ Συχὲμ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς, εὕροιμι χάριν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν· καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπητε, δώσομεν.

Multiply your demand of dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as ye shall say to me, only ye shall give me this damsel for a wife.

Πληθύνατε τὴν φερνὴν σφόδρα, καὶ δώσω καθότι ἂν εἴπητέ μοι, καὶ δώσετέ μοι τὴν παῖδα ταύτην εἰς γυναῖκα.

And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.

Ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Συχὲμ, καὶ Ἐμμὼρ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, μετὰ δόλου· καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἐμίαναν Δείναν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν.

And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.

Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς Συμεὼν καὶ Λευὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Δείνας, οὐ δυνησόμεθα ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, δοῦναι τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἡμῶν ἀνθρώπῳ, ὃς ἔχει ἀκροβυστίαν· ἔστι γὰρ ὄνειδος ἡμῖν.

Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if ye also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.

Μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθησόμεθα ὑμῖν, καὶ κατοικήσομεν ἐν ὑμῖν, ἐὰν γένησθε ὡς ἡμεῖς καὶ ὑμεῖς, ἐν τῷ περιτμηθῆναι ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν.

And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.

Καὶ δώσομεν τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν ὑμῖν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων ὑμῶν ληψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας, καὶ οἰκήσομεν παρʼ ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὡς γένος ἕν.

But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.

Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ εἰσακούσητε ἡμῶν τοῦ περιτεμέσθαι, λαβόντες τὴν θυγατέρα ἡμῶν ἀπελευσόμεθα.

And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.

Καὶ ἤρεσαν οἱ λόγοι ἐναντίον Ἐμμὼρ, καὶ ἐναντίον Συχὲμ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἐμμώρ.

And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honourable of all in his father's house.

Καὶ οὐκ ἐχρόνισεν ὁ νεανίσκος τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· ἐνέκειτο γὰρ τῇ θυγατρὶ Ἰακώβ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἦν ἐνδοξότατος πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

Ἦλθε δὲ Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν, λέγοντες,

These men are peaceable, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them our daughters.

Οἱ ἄνθρωποι οὗτοι εἰρήνικοί εἰσι, μεθʼ ἡμῶν οἰκείτωσαν επὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐμπορευέσθωσαν αὐτήν· ἡ δὲ γῆ ἰδοὺ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν· τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ληψόμεθα ἡμῖν γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ἡμῶν δώσομεν αὐτοῖς.

Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.

Ἐν τούτῳ μόνον ὁμοιωθήσονται ἡμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τοῦ κατοικεῖν μεθʼ ἡμῶν, ὥστε εἶναι λαὸν ἕνα, ἐν τῷ περιτεμέσθαι ἡμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν, καθὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ περιτέτμηνται.

And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with us.

Καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ τετράποδα, καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν, οὐχ ἡμῶν ἔσται; μόνον ἐν τούτῳ ὁμοιωθῶμεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ οἰκήσουσι μεθʼ ἡμῶν.

And all that went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.

Καὶ εἰσήκουσαν Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐμπορευόμενοι τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως αὐτῶν· καὶ περιετέμοντο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν πᾶς ἄρσην.

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and slew every male.

Ἐγένετο 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 ἀσφαλὼς, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν.

And they slew Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.

Τόν τε Ἐμμὼρ καὶ Συχὲμ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας· καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Δείναν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Συχὲμ, καὶ ἐξῆλθον.

But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.

Οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ εἰσῆλθον ἐπὶ τοὺς τραυματίας, καὶ διήρπασαν τὴν πόλιν, ἐν ᾗ ἐμίαναν Δείναν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν.

And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatsoever were in the city, and whatsoever were in the plain.

Καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς βόας αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν, ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, ἔλαβον.

And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were in the houses.

Καὶ πάντα τὰ σώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἠχμαλώτευσαν· καὶ διήρπασαν ὅσα τε ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις.

And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, Ye have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.

Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ πρὸς Συμεὼν καὶ Λευὶ, 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 ἐπʼ ἐμὲ συγκόψουσί με, καὶ ἐκτριβήσομαι ἐγὼ, καὶ ὁ οἶκός μου.

And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?

Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, ἀλλʼ ὡσεὶ πόρνῃ χρήσονται τῇ ἀδελφῇ ἡμῶν;
