Битие 38
1 По онова време Юда се отдели от братята си и свърна при един одоламец на име Ира.
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 И Юда като видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец, на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея.
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 И тя зачна и роди син; и той го наименува Ир.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 И зачна пак и роди син; и тя го наименува Онан.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Пак роди и друг син и го наименува Шела. А Юда беше в Ахдив, когато тя го роди.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 След време Юда взе жена за първородния си Ир, на име Тамар.
And Judas took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 А Ир, Юдовият първороден, беше нечестив пред Господа; и Господ го уби.
And Er, the firstborn of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 Тогава рече Юда на Онана: Влез при братовата си жена и извърши към нея длъжността на девер и въздигни потомството на брата си.
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your brother.
9 Но Онан знаеше, че потомството нямаше да бъде негово; затова, когато влизаше при братовата си жена, изливаше семето си на земята, за да не въздигне потомство на брата си.
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 А това, което правеше, бе зло пред Господа; затова и него уби.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he killed him also.
11 Тогава, Юда, рече на снаха си Тамар: Живей, като вдовица в бащиния си дом, догде отрасне син ми Шела; защото си думаше: Да не би и той да умре като братята си. И така, Тамар отиде и живя в бащиния си дом.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit you a widow in the house of your 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 След дълго време, Юдовата жена, дъщеря на Суя, умря; и като се утеши Юда, отиде, той и приятелят му, одоламецът Ира, при стригачите на овците си в Тамна.
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 И известиха на Тамар, казвайки: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овците си.
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 Тогава тя съблече вдовишките си дрехи, покри се с покривалото си, обви се и седна при кръстопътя на Енаим, който е по пътя за Тамна; защото видя, че порасна Шела, а тя не му бе дадена за жена.
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 А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница: защото беше покрила лицето си.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 Той, прочее, свърна към нея на пътя и рече: Остави ме, моля, да вляза при тебе; ( защото не позна, че беше снаха му ). И тя рече: Какво ще ми дадеш, за да влезеш при мене?
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to you; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What will you give me if you should come in to me?
17 А той рече: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. И тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, догде го изпратиш?
And he said, I will send you a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if you will give me an earnest, until you send it.
18 Рече той: Какъв залог да ти дам? И тя каза: Печата си, ширита си и тоягата си, която е в ръката ти. И той й ги даде. И влезе при нея, и тя зачна от него.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give you? and she said, Your ring, and your bracelet, and the staff in your hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 После тя стана та си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 А Юда изпрати ярето, чрез ръката на приятеля си одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената; но той не я намери.
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 Затова попита хората от онова място, казвайки: Где е блудницата, която беше на пътя при Енаим? А те рекоха: Тука не е имало блудница.
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the wayside? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 И той се върна при Юда и рече: Не я намерих; още и хората от онова място рекоха: Тук не е имало блудница.
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 И рече Юда: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех; ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери.
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but you have not found her.
24 Около три месеца подир това, известиха на Юда, казвайки: Снаха ти Тамар блудствува; а още, ето, непразна е от блудството. А Юда рече: Изведете я да се изгори.
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar your 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 А когато я извеждаха, тя изпрати до свекъра си да му кажат: От човека, чиито са тия неща, съм непразна. Рече още: Познай, моля, чии са тия неща - печатът, ширитът и тоягата.
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 И Юда ги позна и рече: Тя е по-права от мене, тъй като не я дадох на сина си Шела. И не я позна вече.
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 И когато дойде времето й да роди, ето, имаше близнета в утробата й.
And it came to pass when she was in labor, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 И като раждаше, едното простря ръка: и бабата взе та върза червен конец на ръката му и каза: Тоя пръв излезе.
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 А като дръпна надире ръката си, ето, брат му излезе; и тя рече: Какъв пролом си направи ти? Затова го наименуваха Фарес.
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 you? and she called his name, Phares.
30 После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него наименуваха Зара.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
