اَلتَّكْوِينُ 38
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَنَّ يَهُوذَا نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَمَالَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ عَدُّلَامِيٍّ ٱسْمُهُ حِيرَةُ. | ١ 1 |
And it comes to pass, at that time, that Judah goes down from his brothers, and turns aside to a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] Hirah;
| وَنَظَرَ يَهُوذَا هُنَاكَ ٱبْنَةَ رَجُلٍ كَنْعَانِيٍّ ٱسْمُهُ شُوعٌ، فَأَخَذَهَا وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، | ٢ 2 |
and Judah sees there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and takes her, and goes in to her.
| فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «عِيرًا». | ٣ 3 |
And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;
| ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتِ ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «أُونَانَ». | ٤ 4 |
and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls his name Onan;
| ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَيْضًا ٱبْنًا وَدَعَتِ ٱسْمَهُ «شِيلَةَ». وَكَانَ فِي كَزِيبَ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُ. | ٥ 5 |
and she adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
| وَأَخَذَ يَهُوذَا زَوْجَةً لِعِيرٍ بِكْرِهِ ٱسْمُهَا ثَامَارُ. | ٦ 6 |
And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;
| وَكَانَ عِيرٌ بِكْرُ يَهُوذَا شِرِّيرًا فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَمَاتَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٧ 7 |
and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.
| فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِأُونَانَ: «ٱدْخُلْ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةِ أَخِيكَ وَتَزَوَّجْ بِهَا، وَأَقِمْ نَسْلًا لِأَخِيكَ». | ٨ 8 |
And Judah says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother”;
| فَعَلِمَ أُونَانُ أَنَّ ٱلنَّسْلَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ، فَكَانَ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةِ أَخِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَفْسَدَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِكَيْ لَا يُعْطِيَ نَسْلًا لِأَخِيهِ. | ٩ 9 |
and Onan knows that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it has come to pass, if he has gone in to his brother’s wife, that he has destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother;
| فَقَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَا فَعَلَهُ، فَأَمَاتَهُ أَيْضًا. | ١٠ 10 |
and that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.
| فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِثَامَارَ كَنَّتِهِ: «ٱقْعُدِي أَرْمَلَةً فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ حَتَّى يَكْبُرَ شِيلَةُ ٱبْنِي». لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَعَلَّهُ يَمُوتُ هُوَ أَيْضًا كَأَخَوَيْهِ». فَمَضَتْ ثَامَارُ وَقَعَدَتْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا. | ١١ 11 |
And Judah says to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Abide [as] a widow at your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up”; for he said, “Lest he die—even he—like his brothers”; and Tamar goes and dwells at her father’s house.
| وَلَمَّا طَالَ ٱلزَّمَانُ مَاتَتِ ٱبْنَةُ شُوعٍ ٱمْرَأَةُ يَهُوذَا. ثُمَّ تَعَزَّى يَهُوذَا فَصَعِدَ إِلَى جُزَّازِ غَنَمِهِ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، هُوَ وَحِيرَةُ صَاحِبُهُ ٱلْعَدُّلَامِيُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah’s wife, dies; and Judah is comforted, and goes up to his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath.
| فَأُخْبِرَتْ ثَامَارُ وَقِيلَ لَهَا: «هُوَذَا حَمُوكِ صَاعِدٌ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ لِيَجُزَّ غَنَمَهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;
| فَخَلَعَتْ عَنْهَا ثِيَابَ تَرَمُّلِهَا، وَتَغَطَّتْ بِبُرْقُعٍ وَتَلَفَّفَتْ، وَجَلَسَتْ فِي مَدْخَلِ عَيْنَايِمَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ تِمْنَةَ، لِأَنَّهَا رَأَتْ أَنَّ شِيلَةَ قَدْ كَبُرَ وَهِيَ لَمْ تُعْطَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً. | ١٤ 14 |
and she turns aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covers herself with a veil, and wraps herself up, and sits in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way to Timnath, for she has seen that Shelah has grown up, and she has not been given to him for a wife.
| فَنَظَرَهَا يَهُوذَا وَحَسِبَهَا زَانِيَةً، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ غَطَّتْ وَجْهَهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has covered her face,
| فَمَالَ إِلَيْهَا عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَالَ: «هَاتِي أَدْخُلْ عَلَيْكِ». لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهَا كَنَّتُهُ. فَقَالَتْ: «مَاذَا تُعْطِينِي لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
and he turns aside to her by the way and says, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he has not known that she [is] his daughter-in-law; and she says, “What do you give to me, that you may come in to me?”
| فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أُرْسِلُ جَدْيَ مِعْزَى مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ». فَقَالَتْ: «هَلْ تُعْطِينِي رَهْنًا حَتَّى تُرْسِلَهُ؟». | ١٧ 17 |
And he says, “I send a kid of the goats from the flock.” And she says, “Do you give a pledge until you send [it]?”
| فَقَالَ: «مَا ٱلرَّهْنُ ٱلَّذِي أُعْطِيكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «خَاتِمُكَ وَعِصَابَتُكَ وَعَصَاكَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَدِكَ». فَأَعْطَاهَا وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَحَبِلَتْ مِنْهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
And he says, “What [is] the pledge that I give to you?” And she says, “Your seal, and your ribbon, and your staff which [is] in your hand”; and he gives to her, and goes in to her, and she conceives to him;
| ثُمَّ قَامَتْ وَمَضَتْ وَخَلَعَتْ عَنْهَا بُرْقُعَهَا وَلَبِسَتْ ثِيَابَ تَرَمُّلِهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts on the garments of her widowhood.
| فَأَرْسَلَ يَهُوذَا جَدْيَ ٱلْمِعْزَى بِيَدِ صَاحِبِهِ ٱلْعَدُّلَامِيِّ لِيَأْخُذَ ٱلرَّهْنَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْهَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Judah sends the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he has not found her.
| فَسَأَلَ أَهْلَ مَكَانِهَا قَائِلًا: «أَيْنَ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي عَيْنَايِمَ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ؟» فَقَالُوا: «لَمْ تَكُنْ هَهُنَا زَانِيَةٌ». | ٢١ 21 |
And he asks the men of her place, saying, “Where [is] the separated one—she in Enayim, by the way?” And they say, “There has not been in this [place] a separated one.”
| فَرَجَعَ إِلَى يَهُوذَا وَقَالَ: «لَمْ أَجِدْهَا. وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَكَانِ أَيْضًا قَالُوا: لَمْ تَكُنْ هَهُنَا زَانِيَةٌ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And he turns back to Judah and says, “I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There has not been in this [place] a separated one,”
| فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا: «لِتَأْخُذْ لِنَفْسِهَا، لِئَلَّا نَصِيرَ إِهَانَةً. إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ هَذَا ٱلْجَدْيَ وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَجِدْهَا». | ٢٣ 23 |
and Judah says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”
| وَلَمَّا كَانَ نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ، أُخْبِرَ يَهُوذَا وَقِيلَ لَهُ: «قَدْ زَنَتْ ثَامَارُ كَنَّتُكَ، وَهَا هِيَ حُبْلَى أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلزِّنَا». فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا: «أَخْرِجُوهَا فَتُحْرَقَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And it comes to pass about three months [after], that it is declared to Judah, saying, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has committed fornication; and also, behold, she has conceived by fornication”: and Judah says, “Bring her out—and she is burned.”
| أَمَّا هِيَ فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَتْ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى حَمِيهَا قَائِلَةً: «مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي هَذِهِ لَهُ أَنَا حُبْلَى!» وَقَالَتْ: «حَقِّقْ لِمَنِ ٱلْخَاتِمُ وَٱلْعِصَابَةُ وَٱلْعَصَا هَذِهِ». | ٢٥ 25 |
She is brought out, and she has sent to her husband’s father, saying, “To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant”; and she says, “Please discern whose these [are]—the seal, and the ribbons, and the staff.”
| فَتَحَقَّقَهَا يَهُوذَا وَقَالَ: «هِيَ أَبَرُّ مِنِّي، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِهَا لِشِيلَةَ ٱبْنِي». فَلَمْ يَعُدْ يَعْرِفُهَا أَيْضًا. | ٢٦ 26 |
And Judah discerns and says, “She has been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to my son Shelah”; and he has not added to know her again.
| وَفِي وَقْتِ وِلَادَتِهَا إِذَا فِي بَطْنِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] in her womb;
| وَكَانَ فِي وِلَادَتِهَا أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمَا أَخْرَجَ يَدًا فَأَخَذَتِ ٱلْقَابِلَةُ وَرَبَطَتْ عَلَى يَدِهِ قِرْمِزًا، قَائِلَةً: «هَذَا خَرَجَ أَوَّلًا». | ٢٨ 28 |
and it comes to pass in her bearing, that [one] gives out a hand, and the midwife takes and binds on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This has come out first.”
| وَلَكِنْ حِينَ رَدَّ يَدَهُ، إِذَا أَخُوهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ. فَقَالَتْ: «لِمَاذَا ٱقْتَحَمْتَ؟ عَلَيْكَ ٱقْتِحَامٌ!». فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «فَارِصَ». | ٢٩ 29 |
And it comes to pass as he draws back his hand, that behold, his brother has come out, and she says, “What! You have broken forth—the breach [is] on you”; and he calls his name Perez;
| وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى يَدِهِ ٱلْقِرْمِزُ. فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهُ «زَارَحَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.
