¹ Και εξηλθε Δεινα η θυγατηρ της Λειας, την οποιαν εγεννησεν εις τον Ιακωβ, δια να ιδη τας θυγατερας του τοπου.

² Και ιδων αυτην Συχεμ, ο υιος του Εμμωρ του Ευαιου, αρχοντος του τοπου, ελαβεν αυτην, και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και εταπεινωσεν αυτην.

³ Και η ψυχη αυτου προσεκολληθη εις την Δειναν, την θυγατερα του Ιακωβ· και ηγαπησε την κορην και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν της κορης.

⁴ Και ειπεν ο Συχεμ προς Εμμωρ τον πατερα αυτου, λεγων, Λαβε μοι την κορην ταυτην εις γυναικα.

⁵ Και ηκουσεν ο Ιακωβ, οτι εμιανε την Δειναν την θυγατερα αυτου· οι δε υιοι αυτου ησαν μετα των κτηνων αυτου εν τω αγρω· και παρεσιωπησεν ο Ιακωβ εωσου ελθωσιν.

⁶ Εμμωρ δε, ο πατηρ του Συχεμ, εξηλθε προς τον Ιακωβ, δια να ομιληση μετ' αυτου.

⁷ Και ηλθον οι υιοι του Ιακωβ εκ του αγρου, καθως ηκουσαν τουτο· και ηγανακτησαν οι ανδρες και εθυμωθησαν σφοδρα, οτι επραξεν αισχρα εις τον Ισραηλ, κοιμηθεις μετα της θυγατρος του Ιακωβ· το οποιον δεν επρεπε να γεινη.

⁸ Και ελαλησε προς αυτους ο Εμμωρ, λεγων, Η ψυχη του Συχεμ του υιου μου προσηλωθη εις την θυγατερα σας· δοτε αυτην εις αυτον, παρακαλω, εις γυναικα·

⁹ και συμπενθερευσατε μεθ' ημων· τας θυγατερας σας δοτε εις ημας, και τας θυγατερας ημων λαβετε εις εαυτους·

¹⁰ και κατοικησατε μεθ' ημων· ιδου, η γη ειναι εμπροσθεν σας· κατοικειτε και εμπορευεσθε επ' αυτης και καμετε κτηματα εν αυτη.

¹¹ Ειπε δε ο Συχεμ προς τον πατερα αυτης και προς τους αδελφους αυτης, Ας ευρω χαριν εμπροσθεν σας· και ο, τι ειπητε εις εμε θελω δωσει·

¹² ζητησατε παρ' εμου οσην προικα θελετε, και οσα χαρισματα, και θελω δωσει αυτα, καθως ηθελετε μοι ειπει· μονον δοτε μοι την κορην εις γυναικα.

¹³ Απεκριθησαν δε οι υιοι του Ιακωβ προς τον Συχεμ και προς τον Εμμωρ τον πατερα αυτου, μετα δολου· και ελαλησαν επειδη αυτος ειχε μιανει την Δειναν την αδελφην αυτων

¹⁴ και ειπον προς αυτους, Δεν δυναμεθα να καμωμεν το πραγμα τουτο, να δωσωμεν την αδελφην ημων εις ανθρωπον απεριτμητον· διοτι τουτο ειναι ονειδος εις ημας·

¹⁵ επι τουτω μονον θελομεν συμφωνησει με σας· Εαν σεις γεινετε ως ημεις, περιτεμνοντες παν αρσενικον μεταξυ σας,

¹⁶ τοτε θελομεν δωσει τας θυγατερας ημων εις εσας, και τας θυγατερας σας θελομεν λαβει εις ημας, και θελομεν κατοικησει με σας και θελομεν γεινει εις λαος·

¹⁷ εαν ομως δεν μας ακουσητε να περιτμηθητε, τοτε θελομεν λαβει την θυγατερα ημων και θελομεν αναχωρησει.

¹⁸ Και ηρεσαν οι λογοι αυτων εις τον Εμμωρ και εις τον Συχεμ τον υιον του Εμμωρ·

¹⁹ και δεν εβραδυνεν ο νεος να καμη το πραγμα, διοτι υπερηγαπα την θυγατερα του Ιακωβ· και ητο ο ενδοξοτερος παντος του οικου του πατρος αυτου.

²⁰ Και ηλθεν ο Εμμωρ και ο Συχεμ ο υιος αυτου εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτων, και ελαλησαν προς τους ανδρας της πολεως αυτων λεγοντες,

²¹ Οι ανθρωποι ουτοι ειναι ειρηνικοι μεθ' ημων· ας κατοικησωσι λοιπον εν τη γη και ας εμπορευωνται εν αυτη· διοτι η γη, ιδου, ειναι αρκετα ευρυχωρος δι' αυτους· τας θυγατερας αυτων ας λαβωμεν εις γυναικας, και τας θυγατερας ημων ας δωσωμεν εις αυτους·

²² επι τουτω μονον θελουσι συμφωνησει με ημας οι ανθρωποι δια να κατοικησωσι μεθ' ημων, ωστε να γεινωμεν εις λαος, εαν περιτμηθη παν αρσενικον μεταξυ ημων, καθως αυτοι περιτεμνονται·

²³ τα ποιμνια αυτων και τα υπαρχοντα αυτων και παντα τα κτηνη αυτων δεν θελουσιν εισθαι ιδικα μας; μονον ας συμφωνησωμεν με αυτους, και θελουσι κατοικησει μεθ' ημων.

²⁴ Και εισηκουσαν του Εμμωρ και Συχεμ του υιου αυτου παντες οι εξερχομενοι εκ της πυλης της πολεως αυτου· και περιετμηθη παν αρσενικον, παντες οι εξερχομενοι δια της πυλης της πολεως αυτου.

²⁵ Την δε τριτην ημεραν, οτε ησαν εν τω πονω, δυο εκ των υιων του Ιακωβ, ο Συμεων και ο Λευι, αδελφοι της Δεινας, ελαβον εκαστος την μαχαιραν αυτου, και εισηλθον εις την πολιν ασφαλως και εφονευσαν παν αρσενικον.

²⁶ Και τον Εμμωρ και τον Συχεμ τον υιον αυτου εφονευσαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας· και ελαβον την Δειναν εκ του οικου του Συχεμ και εξηλθον.

²⁷ Οι δε υιοι του Ιακωβ ηλθον επι τους πεφονευμενους και διηρπασαν την πολιν, επειδη ειχον μιανει την αδελφην αυτων.

²⁸ Ελαβον τα προβατα αυτων και τους βοας αυτων και τους ονους αυτων και ο, τι ητο εν τη πολει και ο, τι εν τω αγρω·

²⁹ και πασαν την περιουσιαν αυτων και παντα τα παιδια αυτων και τας γυναικας αυτων ηχμαλωτισαν· και παν ο, τι ευρισκετο εν ταις οικιαις διηρπασαν.

³⁰ Ειπε δε ο Ιακωβ προς τον Συμεων και προς τον Λευι, Εις ταραχην με εβαλετε, καμνοντες με μισητον μεταξυ των κατοικων της γης, μεταξυ των Χαναναιων και Φερεζαιων· εγω δε ολιγους ανθρωπους εχω, και εκεινοι θελουσι συναχθη εναντιον μου και θελουσι με παταξει και θελω απολεσθη εγω και ο οικος μου.

³¹ Οι δε ειπον, Επρεπε λοιπον την αδελφην ημων να μεταχειρισθωσιν ως πορνην;

¹ Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

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 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

⁴ Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young lady as a wife."

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 the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.

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 which thing ought not to be done.

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 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

¹⁰ You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."

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 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 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

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 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;

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 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone."

¹⁸ Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

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 and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,

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 us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

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 Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."

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 It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that 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 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 Jacob's sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

²⁸ They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

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 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 They said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
