Mui 38
1 Amalu, Yuda da yolalali amo yolesili, ea na: iyado Hila (Adala: me moilai dunu) amo ea moilaiga esalumusa: asi.
About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
2 Amoga e da Ga: ina: ne a: fini, (Siua ea mano) amo gousa: i. Amo a: fini e da lai dagoi.
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
3 E da ema dunu mano lai amo ea dio E.
So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
4 Yuda idua da bu abula agui ba: i. E da eno dunu mano lai. E da ema dio asuli amo Ouna: ne.
Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 Amalalu, e da dunu mano eno lai amo Sila. Amo mano da lalelegeloba, Yuda da A: gasibi moilaiga esalebe ba: i.
Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
6 Ea magobo mano E, amo ea lama: ne, Yuda da a: fini ea dio amo Da: ima ilegei.
Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Be E (Yuda ea mano) da wadela: i hamosu dunu. Hina Gode da ea hou hahawane hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da E fane legei dagoi.
But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
8 Amalalu, Yuda da E ea eya Ouna: ne ema amane sia: i, “Di amola dia ola didalo amo gilisili golama. Dia ola da mano buga: i ba: ma: ne, houdafa ema hamoma.”
Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”
9 Be Ouna: ne da amo mano lalelegemu da ea mano hame ba: mu amo dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e da ea ola didalo amoga gilisisia, e da ea ami udigili osoboga sogadigi. Ea ola mano buga: i da hame lalelegema: ne, agoane hamoi.
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 Hina Gode da amo hou hahawane hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da Ouna: ne amola fane legei.
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
11 Amalalu, Yuda da ea awa Da: ima ema amane sia: i, “Di da dia ada amo ea diasuga buhagima. Nagofe Sila amo da asigilama: ne, ouesaloma.” E da Sila amola ea ola defele Godema fane legemu amo beda: iba: le amane sia: i. Amalu, Da: ima da ea diasuga buhagi.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
12 Fa: no agoane, Yuda ea uda da bogoi. E da didigia: lalu, Yuda amola ea na: iyado Hila (Adala: me dunu) da Dimina sogega asi. Amoga Yuda ea sibi da hinabo damunanebe ba: i.
After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
13 Dunu eno da Da: imama ea awa Yuda amo da Dimina ea sibi hinabo damumusa: ahoanebe olelei dagoi.
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
14 Amaiba: le, Da: ima da ea didalo abula afadenene, ea odagi amo abula sawa: figisu amoga dedebole, Ina: ime moilai logo holeiga fi esalu. Ina: ime da Dimina ahoasu logoga dialu. Yuda ea ufi mano Sila, da asigilai dagoi, be e da Da: ima hame lai, amo Da: ima da dawa: i galu.
she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 Yuda da Da: ima ba: beba: le, ea odagi da dedeboiba: le, e da aie heda: i uda amo dawa: i galu.
When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
16 Yuda da logo bega: ema asili, amane adole ba: i, “Defea! Di bidi lamu defei da adila: ?” (Amo da ea awa e da hame dawa: i galu.) Da: ima da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da nama adi ima: bela: ?”
Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
17 E bu adole i, “Na da goudi mano dima iasimu.” Da: ima da amane sia: i, “Defea! Be liligi fonobahadi amo goudi fa: no iasimu ilegema: ne hidadea nama ima.”
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
18 E bu adole ba: i, “Na da adi ima: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Dia ilegei hamomusa: gobele ga: su amola ea efe amola dia dagulu di gaguli mabe amo nama ima.” Amo liligi e da Da: imama i. Amalalu, ela da gilisili golai, amola Da: ima da abula agui ba: i.
“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 Da: ima da ea diasuga asili, ea abula sawa: figisu fadegale, ea didalo eboboi abula bu sali.
Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
20 Yuda da goudi iasima: ne, amola ea liligi i amo Da: imama bu samogema: ne, ea na: iyado Hila amo asunasi. Be Hila da hogoi helele, amo uda hame ba: i.
Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
21 E da Ina: ime dunu ilima amane adole ba: i, “Aie heda: i uda amo da logo bega: esalu, amo da habila: ?” Ilia bu adole i, “Guiguda: da aie heda: i uda hamedafa esalu.”
He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.
22 E da Yudama buhagili amane sia: i, “Na da hogoi helele hame ba: i. Moilai dunu da aie heda: i uda hamedafa esalu sia: i.”
So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”
23 Yuda da amane sia: i, “Defea! Mae dawa: ma! E da na liligi lamu da defea. Dunu eno da ninima oufesega: mu da defea hame. Na da ema bidi imunusa: dawa: i galu. Be di da e hame ba: i.”
“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”
24 Oubi udiana asili, dunu afae da Yudama amane sia: i, “Dia awa Da: ima da wadela: le hamoi. E da wali abula agui ba: sa.” Yuda da amane sia: i, “E gadili oule asili, bogoma: ne laluga ulugagima.”
About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”
25 Ilia da e gadili gaguli asili, e da ea awa Yuda ema sia: adole iasi, “Amo liligi amo gobele ga: su, ea efe amola dagulu ba: ma! Amo liligi ea eda amo hamoiba: le na da abula agui ba: sa.”
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”
26 Yuda da amo liligi da ea liligi dawa: i galu. E amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Ea hou da defea. Nisu da wadela: le hamoi. Na gofe Sila amo e lama: ne sia: mu da defea galu.” Amalalu, Yuda da Da: imama bu hamedafa gilisili golai.
Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.
27 Ea mano lamu eso da doaga: loba, e da mano aduna lamu agoane ba: i.
When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
28 E da mano lalaloba, mano afae da ea lobo gadili ligiagai. Mano lasu fidisu uda da amoga yoi efe la: gili amane sia: i, “Amo da magobo lalelegei.”
And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.
29 Be e da ea lobo bu hiougia ganone amola ea na: iyado da magobo lalelegei. Amalalu, mano lasu fidisu uda da amane sia: i, “Di da agoane gadili bosona asi!” Amaiba: le, ilia da ema Bilese (gadili bosona ahoa) dio asuli.
But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
30 Amalalu, ea eya amo ea lobo da haliga: me efe la: gi, amo da lalelegei. Ilia da ema dio amo Sila (eso mabe haliga: i ba: sa) asuli.
Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
