1 Dina, hija de Lea y Jacob, salió a visitar a las mujeres de aquella tierra.
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 Siquem, hijo de Hamor el heveo y jefe de aquella región, la vio, la tomó y la violó.
2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3 Después quedó profundamente unido a Dina, hija de Jacob. Se enamoró de la joven y le habló con cariño.
3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4 Siquem dijo a su padre Hamor: «Consígueme a esta joven como mujer».
4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5 Jacob oyó que Siquem había deshonrado a su hija Dina. Pero como sus hijos estaban en el campo con el ganado, Jacob guardó silencio hasta que regresaron.
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Hamor, padre de Siquem, fue a hablar con Jacob.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
7 Cuando los hijos de Jacob regresaron del campo y se enteraron de lo sucedido, se llenaron de dolor y de ira, porque Siquem había cometido una vergüenza en Israel al acostarse con la hija de Jacob, algo que no debía hacerse.
7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
8 Hamor les dijo: «Mi hijo Siquem está muy enamorado de su hija. Por favor, dénsela como mujer.
8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9 Unamos nuestras familias. Den sus hijas a nuestros hijos y tomen nuestras hijas para ustedes.
9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 Vivan con nosotros. La tierra está abierta delante de ustedes. Vivan aquí, hagan negocios y adquieran propiedades».
10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11 Siquem dijo al padre y a los hermanos de Dina: «Si cuento con su favor, les daré lo que me pidan.
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12 Pídanme cualquier precio por la novia y cualquier regalo, y lo pagaré. Solo denme a la joven como mujer».
12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13 Los hijos de Jacob respondieron con engaño a Siquem y a Hamor, su padre, porque Siquem había deshonrado a su hermana Dina.
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14 Les dijeron: «No podemos dar nuestra hermana a un hombre que no está circuncidado, porque eso sería una vergüenza para nosotros.
14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15 Solo aceptaremos si todos los varones de ustedes se circuncidan como nosotros.
15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
16 Entonces les daremos nuestras hijas y tomaremos las suyas. Viviremos con ustedes y seremos un solo pueblo.
16 then will we give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 Pero si no aceptan circuncidarse, tomaremos a nuestra hermana y nos iremos».
17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
18 A Hamor y a su hijo Siquem les pareció bien la propuesta.
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19 El joven no tardó en cumplirla, porque estaba enamorado de la hija de Jacob. Era además el hombre más respetado de la casa de su padre.
19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20 Hamor y su hijo Siquem fueron a la puerta de la ciudad y hablaron con los hombres:
20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21 «Estos hombres quieren vivir en paz con nosotros. Dejemos que se queden en esta tierra y hagan negocios aquí, porque hay suficiente espacio. Podemos tomar a sus hijas como mujeres y darles nuestras hijas.
21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
22 Pero solo aceptarán vivir con nosotros y formar un solo pueblo si todos nuestros varones se circuncidan como ellos.
22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Entonces su ganado, sus bienes y todos sus animales serán nuestros. Aceptemos su condición y dejemos que vivan con nosotros».
23 Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24 Todos los hombres que se reunían a la puerta de la ciudad escucharon a Hamor y a Siquem. Entonces todos los varones de la ciudad fueron circuncidados.
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25 Al tercer día, cuando todavía estaban adoloridos, Simeón y Leví, dos hijos de Jacob y hermanos de Dina, tomaron sus espadas, entraron en la ciudad sin encontrar resistencia y mataron a todos los varones.
25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26 También mataron a Hamor y a su hijo Siquem, sacaron a Dina de la casa de Siquem y se fueron.
26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 Los otros hijos de Jacob llegaron después y saquearon la ciudad porque su hermana había sido deshonrada.
27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 Tomaron sus ovejas, su ganado, sus asnos y todo lo que había en la ciudad y en el campo.
28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29 También se llevaron todas sus riquezas, a sus niños y a sus mujeres, y saquearon todo lo que había en las casas.
29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30 Entonces Jacob dijo a Simeón y Leví: «Me han puesto en peligro. Ahora los cananeos y los ferezeos que viven en esta tierra me odiarán. Somos pocos, y si se unen contra mí y me atacan, yo y toda mi familia seremos destruidos».
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 Ellos respondieron: «¿Debía él tratar a nuestra hermana como a una prostituta?».
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
