Oonyana bakhe babe besendle, besemhlambini wakhe; wathi cwaka ke uYakobi, bada bafika. 6Waphuma uHamore, uyise kaShekem, waya kuthetha noYakobi. 7Bathi bakufika oonyana bakaYakobi ezweni, bakukuva oku, aba buhlungu amadoda lawo, aba nomsindo kakhulu, kuba wenza ubudenge kwaSirayeli ngokulala nentombi kaYakobi; into engafanele ukwenziwa. 8Wathetha uHamore kubo, wathi, uShekem, unyana wam, intliziyo yonyana wam, iyayikhumbula intombi yenu; 9Nasithatha, nasinika iintombi zenu, nazeka iintombi zethu; 10Niya kuhlala nathi, ilizwe libe ngasecaleni kwenu; qhubeka urhweba ngayo, tyeba kuyo. 11Wathi uShekem kuyise wenkazana leyo, nakoodade bayo, Mandibabalwe emehlweni enu, nento enithethayo kum, ndoninika yona. 12Ungaze ucele khazi kum, nesipho esinje, ndokunika njengoko uthethayo kum; kodwa ndinike intombi ibe ngumfazi wam. 13Oonyana bakaYakobi babaxokisa ooShekem noHamore uyise, bathi, ngokuba ebemenze inqambi uDina, udade wabo. 14Bathi kubo, Asiyi kuyenza loo nto, yokuba udade wethu simnike indoda engalukanga; ngokuba ibilihlazo kuthi. 15Sovumelana nani kule ndawo yokuba nithanda ukufana nathi, ngokuthi yaluke kuni yonke into eyindoda; 16Soninika ke iintombi zethu, sizeke iintombi zenu, sihlale nani, sibe luhlanga lunye. 17Ukuba anisiva ukuba naluke; soyithabatha khona intombi yethu, sihambe. 18Alunga amazwi abo emehlweni kaHamore, nasemehlweni kaShekem, unyana kaHamore. 19Akalibala umfana ukuyenza loo nto, uba ubethabathekile yintombi kaYakobi; ibizukile yena ngaphezu kwayo yonke indlu kayise. 20Bafika uHamore noShekem unyana wakhe, esangweni lesixeko sabo, bathetha kumadoda omzi wabo, bathi, 21Aba bathanda uxolo nathi; ke ngoko, mabahlale kwelo lizwe baze barhwebe khona; ngokuba ihlabathi, yabonani, bayalingana; sozizeka iintombi zawo zibe ngabafazi bethu, siwanike iintombi zethu. 22Ke ngenxa yoko aya kuvumelana nathi la madoda, ukuhlala nathi, sibe luhlanga lunye, sithi, sonke ngabanye aluke, njengokuba alukile wona. 23Imfuyo yawo nempahla yawo nayo yonke imfuyo yawo ayisayi kuba yeyethu na? masivumelane nabo, kwaye baya kuhlala nathi. 24Bamphulaphula uHamore noShekem unyana wakhe, bonke abaphuma ngesango lomzi wakhe; yaye onke amadoda akhalinyelwa, bonke ababephuma ngesango lesixeko sakowabo. 25Kwathi ngomhla wesithathu, bakuba bebandezelekile, oonyana ababini bakaYakobi, uSimon noLevi, abanakwabo boDina, bathabatha walowo ikrele lakhe, behla baya kuloo mzi ngokungafihlisiyo, bawabulala onke amadoda. 26Bambulala ke uHamore, noShekem unyana wakhe, ngohlangothi lwekrele, bamthabatha uDina endlwini kaShekem, bemka. 27Oonyana bakaYakobi beza kwababuleweyo, bawuphanga umzi, ngokuba bebemenze inqambi udade wabo. 28Impahla yabo emfutshane, neenkomo zabo, namaesile abo, nabebekukho phakathi komzi, nabasemaphandleni, bazithabatha; 29Bathabatha bonke ubutyebi babo, nabantwana babo bonke, nabafazi babo, baphanga neento zonke ebe zisendlwini. 30Wathi uYakobi kuSimon noLevi, Nindisongela, ukuba nindonakalise phakathi kwabemi beli lizwe, phakathi kwamaKanan namaPersi; Ndimncinane ke ngenani, baya kundihlanganyela, bandibulale; yaye ndiya kutshabalala, mna nendlu yam. 31Bathi bona, Udade wethu yihenyukazi na?
