Yaradiliş 38
1 O zaman Yəhuda qardaşlarından ayrılaraq Xira adlı Adullamlı bir adamın yanına gedib məskən saldı.
At that time, Judah left his older and younger brothers and went down from the hilly area and stayed with a man whose name was Hiram, who lived in Adullam [town].
2 Yəhuda orada Şua adlı Kənanlı bir adamın qızını gördü. Yəhuda qızı arvad alıb yanına girdi.
There he (met/became acquainted with) a woman who was the daughter of a man from Canaan named Shua. He married her. He had sex [EUP] with her,
3 Qadın hamilə olub bir oğlan doğdu və Yəhuda onun adını Er qoydu.
and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
4 Qadın yenə hamilə olub bir oğlan doğdu və adını Onan qoydu.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
5 Sonra yenə də bir oğlan doğub, adını Şela qoydu. Qadın onu doğduğu zaman Yəhuda Kezivdə idi.
Many years later, when Judah and his family went to live in Kezib [town], Judah’s wife gave birth to another son, whom she named Shelah.
6 Yəhuda ilk oğlu Er üçün bir arvad aldı, onun adı Tamar idi.
When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
7 Yəhudanın ilk oğlu Er Rəbbin gözündə pis idi və Rəbb onu öldürdü.
But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
8 Yəhuda Onana dedi: «Qardaşın arvadının yanına gir, öz qayınlıq vəzifəni yerinə yetirib qardaşın üçün nəsil yetişdir».
Then Judah said to Onan, “Your older brother died without having any sons. So marry his widow and have sex [EUP] with her. That is what our customs require that you should do.”
9 Onan bilirdi ki, bu nəsil ona məxsus olmayacaq. Buna görə də qardaşı arvadının yanına girəndə toxumunu yerə tökərdi ki, qardaşı üçün nəsil yetişdirməsin.
But Onan knew if he did that, any children who would be born would not be considered to be his. So every time he had sex [EUP] with his brother’s widow, he spilled his semen on the ground, so that she would not get pregnant and produce children for his older brother.
10 Onun etdiyi bu iş Rəbbin gözündə pis oldu və Rəbb onu da öldürdü.
Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
11 Yəhuda gəlini Tamara dedi: «Atanın evinə qayıt, oğlum Şela böyüyənə qədər dul olaraq qal». Yəhuda fikirləşdi ki, Şela da qardaşları kimi ölə bilər. Tamar gedib atasının evində qaldı.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, [he can marry you].” But Judah [really did not want Shelah to marry her, because] he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar [obeyed Judah and] went back to live in her father’s house again.
12 Uzun müddətdən sonra Şuanın qızı olan Yəhudanın arvadı öldü. Yəhuda matəm qurtarandan sonra dostu Adullamlı Xira ilə birlikdə Timnata sürüsünü qırxanların yanına getdi.
Several years later, Judah’s wife, who was the daughter of Shua, died. When the time of mourning for her was finished, Judah decided to go up to Timnah, to the place where his (men were shearing his sheep/sheep were being sheared) His friend Hiram, from Adullam, went with him.
13 Tamara bildirdilər: «Bax qayınatan sürüsünü qırxmaq üçün Timnata gəlir».
Someone said to Tamar, “Your father-in-law is going to [the fields near the city of] Timnah to help the men who are shearing his sheep.”
14 Tamar dulluq paltarını əynindən çıxarıb rübənd örtdü və bürünüb Timnata gedən yolda olan Enayim darvazasının yanında oturdu. Çünki o görürdü ki, Şela böyüyüb, o isə hələ də Şelaya ərə verilməyib.
[She realized that now Shelah was grown up, but Judah had not given her to him to be his wife. So] she took off her widow’s clothes, and covered her head with a veil, so that people would not (recognize her/know who she was). Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim [town], which is on the road to Timnah.
15 Yəhuda onu görəndə elə bildi ki, bir fahişə qadındır, çünki üzünü örtmüşdü.
When Judah came along and saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, because she had covered her head [like prostitutes often did] (OR, [and sat where prostitutes often sat)].
16 Yəhuda yolunu ona tərəf salıb dedi: «İcazə ver, sənin yanına girim». Ancaq onun öz gəlini olduğunu bilmədi. Qadın dedi: «Yanıma girmək üçün mənə nə verirsən?»
Judah did not realize that she was his daughter-in-law. So he said to her, “Hey, let me have sex [EUP] with you!” She replied, “What will you give me for allowing you to have sex [EUP] with me?”
17 Yəhuda dedi: «Sürüdən bir oğlaq göndərərəm». O dedi: «Onu göndərənə qədər mənə girov olaraq bir şey verərsənmi?»
He replied, “I will send you a young goat from my flock of goats.” She asked, “Will you give me something now for me to keep until you send the goat?”
18 Yəhuda soruşdu: «Girov olaraq sənə nə verim?» Qadın dedi: «Öz möhürünü, qaytanını və əlində olan əsanı». Yəhuda bunları qadına verib yanına girdi. Qadın ondan hamilə qaldı.
He replied, “What do you want me to give to you?” She replied, “Give me the ring that has your name on it that is tied by a cord around your neck, and give me the walking stick that you are holding in your hand.” So he gave them to her. Then he had sex [EUP] with her, and she became pregnant.
19 Sonra Tamar qalxıb getdi və rübəndini çıxarıb dulluq paltarını geydi.
After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
20 Yəhuda qadından girovunu almaq üçün Adullamlı dostunun vasitəsilə oğlağı göndərdi. Ancaq o, qadını tapmadı.
Judah gave a young goat to his friend from Adullam, for him to take back to the woman, as he had promised. But his friend could not find the woman.
21 Qadının olduğu yerin adamlarından soruşdu: «Enayimdə yol kənarında olan fahişə haradadır?» Onlar dedilər: «Burada fahişə yoxdur».
So he asked the men who lived there, “Where is the prostitute who was sitting by the road at Enaim?” They replied, “There has never been a prostitute here!”
22 O, Yəhudanın yanına qayıdıb dedi: «Onu tapa bilmədim. O yerin adamları da “burada fahişə yoxdur” dedilər».
So he went back to Judah and said, “I did not find her. [Furthermore], the men who live in that town said, ‘There has never been a prostitute here.’”
23 Yəhuda dedi: «Qoy bu şeylər onunku olsun, ancaq biz bu işdən rüsvay olmayaq. Bax mən bu oğlağı ona göndərdim, amma sən onu tapmadın».
Judah said, “She can keep the things that I gave to her. If we continued to search for her, people would ridicule us. I tried to send this young goat to her, but you could not find her to give it to her.”
24 Bundan təxminən üç ay sonra Yəhudaya bildirdilər: «Gəlinin Tamar zina edib, həm də bu zinadan hamilə qalıb». Yəhuda dedi: «Onu çıxarıb yandırın».
About three months later, someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and now she is pregnant!” Judah said, “Drag her outside of the city and kill her by burning her!”
25 O bayıra çıxarıldığı zaman qayınatasına xəbər göndərib dedi: «Mən bu şeylərin sahibi olan adamdan hamilə qaldım». Sonra dedi: «Bax gör, bu möhür, qaytan və əsa kimindir?»
But as they were taking her outside of the city, she gave the ring and walking stick to someone, and told him to take them to Judah, and say to him, “The man who owns these things is the one who caused me to become pregnant.” She also said to tell him, “Look at this ring, and the cord that is attached to it, and this walking stick. Whose are they?”
26 Yəhuda bunları tanıyıb dedi: «O məndən haqlıdır, çünki onu oğlum Şelaya vermədim». Yəhuda onunla bir daha yaxınlıq etmədi.
When the man did that, Judah recognized the ring and the stick. He said, “She is more righteous than I am. I did not tell my son Shelah to marry her, as I promised that I would.” And Judah did not have sex [EUP] with her again.
27 Tamar doğanda məlum oldu ki, bətnində əkiz var.
When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
28 Doğuş vaxtı bir uşaq əlini çıxartdı. Mamaça götürüb onun əlinə qırmızı ip bağladı və dedi: «Əvvəlcə bu doğuldu».
As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand. So the midwife fastened a scarlet thread around his wrist, saying, “This one came out first.”
29 Ancaq o uşaq əlini geri çəkdi və qardaşı birinci doğuldu. Mamaça dedi: «Özünə necə deşik açdın?» Buna görə də onun adını Peres qoydular.
But he pulled his hand back inside the womb, and his brother came out first. So she said, “So this is how you break your way out first!” So she named him Perez, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘breaking out].’
30 Ondan sonra əlində qırmızı ip olan qardaşı doğuldu. Onun adını Zerah qoydular.
Then his younger brother, the one who had the scarlet thread around his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘redness of dawn].’
