Mui 38
1 Amalu, Yuda da yolalali amo yolesili, ea na: iyado Hila (Adala: me moilai dunu) amo ea moilaiga esalumusa: asi.
And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 Amoga e da Ga: ina: ne a: fini, (Siua ea mano) amo gousa: i. Amo a: fini e da lai dagoi.
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 E da ema dunu mano lai amo ea dio E.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 Yuda idua da bu abula agui ba: i. E da eno dunu mano lai. E da ema dio asuli amo Ouna: ne.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Amalalu, e da dunu mano eno lai amo Sila. Amo mano da lalelegeloba, Yuda da A: gasibi moilaiga esalebe ba: i.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 Ea magobo mano E, amo ea lama: ne, Yuda da a: fini ea dio amo Da: ima ilegei.
And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
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.
And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
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.”
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy 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.
And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
10 Hina Gode da amo hou hahawane hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gode da Ouna: ne amola fane legei.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
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.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
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.
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
13 Dunu eno da Da: imama ea awa Yuda amo da Dimina ea sibi hinabo damumusa: ahoanebe olelei dagoi.
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, 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.
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for 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.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
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: ?”
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
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.”
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou 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.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Da: ima da ea diasuga asili, ea abula sawa: figisu fadegale, ea didalo eboboi abula bu sali.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
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.
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
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.”
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
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.”
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot 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.”
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found 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.”
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
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.”
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
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.
And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
27 Ea mano lamu eso da doaga: loba, e da mano aduna lamu agoane ba: i.
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had 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 it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
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.
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
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.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
