Битие 38
1 По онова време Юда се отдели от братята си и свърна при един одоламец на име Ира.
It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 И Юда като видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец, на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея.
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
3 И тя зачна и роди син; и той го наименува Ир.
She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
4 И зачна пак и роди син; и тя го наименува Онан.
She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 Пак роди и друг син и го наименува Шела. А Юда беше в Ахдив, когато тя го роди.
Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
6 След време Юда взе жена за първородния си Ир, на име Тамар.
And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 А Ир, Юдовият първороден, беше нечестив пред Господа; и Господ го уби.
Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so 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.
Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for 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.
But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 А това, което правеше, бе зло пред Господа; затова и него уби.
And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so 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.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
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.
After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 И известиха на Тамар, казвайки: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овците си.
And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah 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.
She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница: защото беше покрила лицето си.
When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
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?
He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"
17 А той рече: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. И тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, догде го изпратиш?
He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee 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.
He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 После тя стана та си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи.
And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
20 А Юда изпрати ярето, чрез ръката на приятеля си одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената; но той не я намери.
Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.
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.
Then he asked the men of the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute 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.
He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"
23 И рече Юда: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех; ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери.
Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find 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.
Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."
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.
When she was brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, and the 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.
Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.
27 И когато дойде времето й да роди, ето, имаше близнета в утробата й.
It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were 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.
As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one came 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.
It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.
30 После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него наименуваха Зара.
Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
