Indes kamen die Söhne Jakobs vom Felde. Und da sie es hörten, verdroß es die Männer, und sie wurden sehr zornig, daß er eine Torheit an Israel begangen und bei Jakobs Tochter gelegen hatte, denn so sollte es nicht sein.
Y los hijos de Jacob vinieron del campo cuando lo supieron; y se entristecieron los varones, y se ensañaron mucho, porque hizo vileza en Israel echándose con la hija de Jacob, lo que no se debía haber hecho.
Et les fils de Jacob revenaient des champs, lorsqu'ils apprirent la chose; ces hommes furent irrités et se mirent dans une grande colère, parce que Sichem avait commis une infamie en Israël, en couchant avec la fille de Jacob, ce qui n'aurait pas dû se faire.
E quando i figliuoli di Giacobbe ebbero inteso il fatto, se ne vennero da’ campi; e quegli uomini furono addolorati, e gravemente adirati, che colui avesse commessa villania in Israele, giacendosi con la figliuola di Giacobbe; il che non si conveniva fare.
E vieram os filhos de Jacó do campo, ouvindo isso, e entristeceram-se os homens, e iraram-se muito, porquanto Siquém cometera uma insensatez em Israel, deitando-se com a filha de Jacó; o que não se devia fazer assim.
