34 Dina indvodzakati yaJakobe, layitalelwa nguLeya+ abevame kuvakashela* emantfombatane akulelo live.+ 2 Ngesikhatsi Shekhemu indvodzana yaHamori umHivi,+ longumholi walelo live ambona, wamdlwengula wamona. 3 Shekhemu wakhangeka kakhulu ngaDina, indvodzakati yaJakobe futsi wamtsandza, ngako wamsoma.* 4 Ekugcineni Shekhemu watsi kubabe wakhe Hamori:+ “Ngicela ungitsatsele lentfombi ibe ngumfati wami.”
5 Ngesikhatsi Jakobe eva kutsi Shekhemu udlwengule Dina indvodzakati yakhe, emadvodzana akhe abesemadlelweni eluse imfuyo yababe wawo. Ngako Jakobe akazange asho lutfo aze abuya. 6 Ngemuva kwaloko, babe waShekhemu lokunguHamori, waya kuJakobe wayokhuluma naye. 7 Kodvwa ngalesikhatsi emadvodzana aJakobe lebekasemadlelweni ayiva lendzaba, abuyela ekhaya ngekushesha. Eva buhlungu futsi atfukutsela kakhulu ngobe Shekhemu abetsele Israyeli ngelihlazo ngekutsi adlwengule indvodzakati yaJakobe,+ lokuyintfo lebekungakafaneli yentiwe.+
8 Hamori watsi: “Shekhemu indvodzana yami utsandza indvodzakati yakho. Ngako ngicela umnike yona ibe ngumfati wakhe, 9 futsi asendziselane, sakhe buhlobo. Sinikeni emadvodzakati enu, nani ningatitsatsela emadvodzakati etfu.+ 10 Ningahlala natsi, futsi nani lelive litawuba ngelenu. Hlalani futsi nisebente, nitive nikhululekile kulo.” 11 Ngako Shekhemu watsi kubabe waDina nakubomnakabo: “Ngicela kumane ngitfole umusa emehlweni enu, futsi ngitaninika nobe yini leniyicelako. 12 Ningabita ngisho nelilobolo lelisetulu kanye netipho,+ futsi ngitimisele kuninika nobe yini leniyifunako. Nine nje nginikeni lentfombi ibe ngumfati wami.”
13 Ngako emadvodzana aJakobe akhohlisa Shekhemu kanye nababe wakhe Hamori ngobe Shekhemu abedlwengule Dina, longudzadzewabo. 14 Atsi kubo: “Angeke size siyente intfo lenjalo, kutsi sitsatse dzadzewetfu simnike indvodza lengakasoki,*+ ngobe loko kulihlazo kitsi. 15 Sitawuvuma kuphela nangabe nitawufanana natsi, nisoke bonkhe bantfu benu labadvuna.+ 16 Ngemuva kwaloko sitaninika emadvodzakati etfu, natsi sititsatsele emadvodzakati enu, futsi sitawuhlala nani sibe munye. 17 Kodvwa nangabe ningasoki, njengobe sinicela, sitawutsatsa dzadzewetfu sihambe naye.”
18 Lamavi abo amjabulisa Hamori+ nendvodzana yakhe Shekhemu.+ 19 Shekhemu wakwenta ngekushesha loko lebebakucelile,+ ngobe abeyitsandza indvodzakati yaJakobe, futsi abehlonishwa kakhulu endlini yababe wakhe.
20 Ngako Hamori nendvodzana yakhe Shekhemu baya egedeni lelidolobha, bakhuluma nemadvodza akulelidolobha,+ batsi: 21 “Lamadvodza afuna sakhe nawo kuthula. Asibavumeleni bahlale kulelive futsi basebente kulo, ngobe lelive likhulu kakhulu, sonkhe singakhona kuhlala kulo. Tsine sitawutsatsa emadvodzakati abo abe bafati betfu, natsi sibanike emadvodzakati etfu.+ 22 Kodvwa-ke kuze lamadvodza avume kuhlala natsi futsi sibe munye nawo, kufanele bonkhe labadvuna labalapha kitsi basoke njengalamadvodza.+ 23 Ngemuva kwaloko tintfo tawo, umcebo wawo, kanye nayo yonkhe imfuyo yawo kutawuba kwetfu. Ngako asivumeni kutsi ahlale natsi.” 24 Bonkhe labo lebebaphuma egedeni lalelidolobha bamlalela Hamori kanye naShekhemu indvodzana yakhe, futsi bonkhe labadvuna basoka, lokungibo bonkhe labo lebebabutsene lapho.
25 Ngelilanga lesitsatfu, ngesikhatsi bonkhe labantfu basesetinhlungwini, emadvodzana aJakobe lamabili, boSimeyoni naLevi, banakaboDina,+ batsatsa tinkemba tabo bangena kulelidolobha kungakalindzeli muntfu futsi babulala bonkhe bantfu labadvuna.+ 26 Babulala Hamori nendvodzana yakhe Shekhemu ngenkemba. Ngemuva kwaloko baya endlini yaShekhemu batsatsa Dina bahamba naye. 27 Nalalamanye emadvodzana aJakobe afika kulamadvodza labebulewe futsi atsatsa konkhe lebekukulelidolobha, ngobe Shekhemu abedlwengule dzadzewabo.+ 28 Atsatsa imihlambi yetimvu, yetimbuti, neyetinkhomo, atsatsa netimbongolo nako konkhe lebekukulelidolobha kanye nalobekungephandle. 29 Atsatsa tonkhe tintfo tabo, nabo bonkhe bantfwana kanye nebafati balabantfu, futsi atsatsa konkhe lebekusetindlini.
30 Nakeva loku, Jakobe watsi kuSimeyoni naLevi:+ “Maye ningiletsele tinkinga letinyenti ngekwenta kutsi bantfu balelive bangitondze, ngisho lamaKhenani nemaPheresi. Mine ngite bantfu labanyenti, ngako batawuhlangana bangihlasele, futsi nakanjani batangicotfula mine nendlu yami.” 31 Kodvwa bona batsi: “Besingeke sivume kutsi dzadzewetfu aphatfwe njengengwadla.”
