Genesis 34
1 ଲୟୋ ଓ ଯାକୁବର କନ୍ଯା ଥିଲା ଦୀଣା। ଦିନେ ଦୀଣା ସହେିସ୍ଥାନର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କରୁ ଭଟେିବାକୁ ଗଲା।
2 ସହେି ଦେଶର ରାଜା ଥିଲେ ହମାରେ। ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ର ଶିଖିମ ଦୀଣାକୁ ଦେଖିଲା। ଶିଖିମ ଦୀଣାକୁ ବଳପୂର୍ବକ ନଇଗେଲା ଏବଂ ତାକୁ ଧର୍ଷଣ କଲା।
3 ଏହାପରେ ଶିଖିମ ଦୀଣାର ପ୍ ରମେ ରେ ପଡ଼ିଗଲା ଓ ତାକୁ ବିବାହ ହବୋକୁ ଚାହିଁଲା।
4 ଶିଖିମ ତା'ର ପିତା ହ ମାରେକୁ କହିଲା, ଦୟାକରି ଏହି ଝିଅ ସହିତ ମାରେ ବିବାହର ବନ୍ଦୋବନ୍ତ କର।
5 ଯାକୁବ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ପାଇଲା ଯେ, ସହେି ୟୁବକ ଦୀଣା ଉପରେ ଅପମାନ ଆଣିଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯାକୁବର ସମସ୍ତ ପୁଅମାନେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ପଶୁପଲଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିଲେ। ସେ କିଛି କଲା ନାହିଁ, ତା'ର ପୁତ୍ରମାନେ ଫରେିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କଲ।
6 ସହେି ସମୟରେ, ଶିଖିମର ପିତା ହ ମାରେ ଯାକୁବ ସହିତ କଥା ହବୋକୁ ବାହାରି ଗଲା।
7 ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ କ୍ଷତରେୁ ଫରେିଲେ, ତା'ର ସମସ୍ତ ଭାଇମାନେ ଏହି କଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ଭୟଙ୍କର ଭାବରେ ରାଗିଗଲେ କାରଣ ଶିଖିମ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ରେ ଏପରି ଅପମାନଜନକ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କଲେ। ସେ ଯାକୁବର କନ୍ଯାକୁ ଧର୍ଷଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନଥିଲା।
8 କିନ୍ତୁ ହମାରେ ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ପୁତ୍ର ଶିଖିମ ଦୀଣାକୁ ବିଭା ହବୋକୁ ଚା ହେଁ। ଦୟାକରି ତାଙ୍କୁ ତାହା ସହିତ ବିବାହ ଦିଅ।
9 ଏହି ବିବାହ ଆମ୍ଭ ମଧିଅରେ ଏକ ଚୁକ୍ତି ହବେ। ଏହାପରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିବାହ କରିପାରିବେ।
10 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଏହି ଦେଶ ରେ ବାସ କରିବ, ବାଣଜ୍ଯ କରିବ ଓ ଭୂମି ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିପାରିବ।
11 ଶିଖିମ ମଧ୍ଯ ଯାକୁବ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କଥା ହେଲେ। ଶିଖିମ କହିଲେ, ଦୟାକରି ମାେତେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କର। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାହା କହିବ ମୁଁ ତାହା କରିବାକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ।
12 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସବୁ କିଛି ଉପହାର ଦବେି ଏବଂ ସବୁ ଟଙ୍କା ଦବେି, ଯାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାଗୁଛ। ମାତ୍ର ଏହି କନ୍ଯାକୁ ମାେତେ ବିବାହ ଦିଅ।
13 ଯାକୁବର ପୁତ୍ରମାନେ ଶିଖିମକୁ ଓ ତା'ର ପିତାଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ମିଥ୍ଯା କହିବାପାଇଁ ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି ନେଲେ। ତା'ର ଭାଇମାନେ ସେତବେେଳେ ପାଗଳ ପ୍ରାଯ ଥିଲେ କାରଣ ଦୀଣାକୁ ଶିଖିମ ଭ୍ରଷ୍ଠା କରିଥିଲା।
14 ତେଣୁ ଭାଇମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଆମର ଭଉଣୀକୁ ବୀବୀହ ଦଇପୋରିବୁ ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସୁନ୍ନତ ହାଇେ ନାହଁ। ଆମ ଭଉଣୀ ସହିତ ବିବାହ କରିବା ଏହା ବହୁତ ଭୁଲ ହବେ।
15 କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭ ଭଉଣୀ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବିବାହ ଦବେୁ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହରର ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ସୁନ୍ନତ ହବେ।
16 ଏହାପରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିବାହ କରିପାରିବେ। ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭର ପୁରୁଷମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିବାହ କରିପାରିବେ। ଏହାପରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏକା ସଙ୍ଗେ ବାସ କରି ଏକାପରି ହାଇପୋରିବା।
17 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ ମନା କର ତବେେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଭଉଣୀ ଦୀଣାକୁ ନଇୟିବେୁ।
18 ଏହି ଚୁକ୍ତି ହ ମାରେ ଓ ଶିଖିମକୁ ଖୁସି କରାଇଲା।
19 ଦୀଣାର ଭାଇମାନଙ୍କର କଥାନୁସା ରେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ହବୋକୁ ଖୁସି ରେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲେ।
20 ହ ମାରେ ଓ ଶିଖିମ ତାଙ୍କ ସହରର ସଭାସ୍ଥଳକୁ ଗଲା। ସମାନେେ ସହେି ସହରର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ,
21 ଏହି ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ ସହିତ ବନ୍ଧୁତା କରିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭ ଦେଶ ରେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଶାନ୍ତେ ରେ ବାସ କରିବାକୁ ଦବୋ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ଭୂମି ଅଛି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କ କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିବାହ କରି ପାରିବା। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବିବାହ ଦଇେ ପାରିବା।
22 ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ବାସ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ କଥା ଆମ୍ଭ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପରି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁନ୍ନତ ହବୋକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ।
23 ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏପରି କରିବା, ତବେେ ତାଙ୍କର ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଧନି ହାଇପୋରିବା। ତେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ଚୁକ୍ତି କରିବା ଉଚିତ। ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ଏହିଠା ରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବାସ କରିବେ।
24 ସଭାସ୍ଥଳ ରେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଏହି କଥା ଶୁଣି ରାଜି ହାଇଗେଲେ। ହ ମାରେଓ ଶିଖିମ କଥା ରେ। ଏବଂ ଏକା ସମୟରେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ହେଲେ।
25 ତିନିଦିନ ପରେ, ସଇେ ସ୍ଥାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ଯୋଗୁଁ କଷ୍ଟ ରେ ଥିଲେ। ଯାକୁବର ଦୁଇପୁତ୍ର ଶିମିୟୋନ ଓ ଲବେୀ, ତାଙ୍କର ଖଡ୍ଗ ନେଲେ ଏବଂ ସହେି ନଗରର ନିର୍ଭୟ ରେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାରି ଦେଲେ।
26 ଦୀଣାର ଭାଇଶିମିଯୋନ ଓ ଲବେୀ , ଶିଖିମ ଓ ହ ମାରେକୁ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ। ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ଦୀଣାକୁ ଶିଖିମର ଘରୁ ନଇଗେଲେ।
27 ଯାକୁବର ପୁତ୍ରମାନେ ସହେି ନଗରକୁ ଗଲେ, ଯେଉଁଠା ରେ ତାଙ୍କ ଭଉଣୀ କଳୁଷିତ ହାଇେଥିଲା, ଏବଂ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଦ୍ରବ୍ଯ ହରଣ କଲେ।
28 ସେଥିପାଇଁ ତା'ର ଭାଇମାନେ ସହେି ସହରରୁ ଓ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରୁ ସମସ୍ତ ପଶୁପଲ, ମଷେ, ଛଳେି ଏବଂ ଗଧ ନଇଗେଲେ।
29 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଯାହା ସବୁ ଥିଲା ସମସ୍ତ ଏମାନେ ନଇେ ଆସିଲେ। ତା'ର ଭାଇମାନେ ଏପରିକି ତାଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀକରି ନଇେ ଆସିଲେ।
30 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯାକୁବଶିମିଯୋନ ଓ ଲବେୀକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେତେ ବହୁ ଅସୁବିଧା ରେ ପକାଇଲଣି। ଏଠାକାର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକେ ମାେତେ ଘୃଣା କରିବେ। ସମସ୍ତ କିଣାନୀଯ ସମସ୍ତ ପିରିଜୀଯ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକେ ମାରେ ବିରଦ୍ଧାଚରଣ କରିବେ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବହୁତ କମ୍ ଲୋକ। ଯଦି ଏହି ସ୍ଥାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭ ସହ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଏକତ୍ରିତ ହବେେ। ତବେେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଧ୍ବଂସ ପାଇୟିବା। ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକେ ମାେ ସହିତ ଶଷେ ହାଇଯେିବେ।
31 କିନ୍ତୁ ଭାଇମାନେ କହିଲେ, ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ ଭଉଣୀ ପ୍ରତି ଏକ ବେଶ୍ଯା ଭଳି ବ୍ଯବହାର କରି ଠିକ୍ କରି ନାହାଁନ୍ତି।
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
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 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
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 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
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 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 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
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 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 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 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
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 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
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 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
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 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
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 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 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 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 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 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 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
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 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 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 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
1 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
2 Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
6 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
7 And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
8 And Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them.
9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
12 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.
13 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
14 And when Moses’ father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
17 And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
18 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
27 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
