Genesis 38
1 Niabot ang panahon nga si Juda mibiya sa iyang mga igsoon ug mipuyo didto sa usa ka taga-Adulam, nga ginganlan og Hira.
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 Nakita niya didto ang anak nga babaye sa usa ka Canaanhon nga ginganlan og Sua. Giminyoan niya ang babaye ug nakigdulog kaniya.
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 Nagmabdos siya ug nakabaton og anak nga lalaki. Ginganlan kini og Er.
and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
4 Nagmabdos siya pag-usab ug nakabaton og anak nga lalaki. Ginganlan niya kini og Onan.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
5 Nakabaton na usab siya og anak nga lalaki ug gitawag siya og Sela. Didto siya nanganak kang Sela sa Chezib.
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 Nakakita si Juda og pangasaw-onon alang kang Er, ang kamagulangan niyang anak. Ang iyang ngalan, si Tamar.
When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
7 Si Er nga kamagulangang anak ni Juda, daotan sa panan-aw ni Yahweh. Busa gipatay siya ni Yahweh.
But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
8 Si Juda miingon kang Onan, “Dulog sa asawa sa imong igsoong lalaki. Buhata ang bulohaton sa usa ka bayaw nga lalaki ngadto kaniya, ug pagbaton ug bata alang sa imong igsoon.
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 Nasayod si Onan nga ang bata dili gayod maiya. Sa panahon nga modulog siya sa asawa sa iyang igsoon, ipagawas niya ang similya ngadto sa yuta aron dili siya makahatag ug bata alang sa iyang igsoon.
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 Ang iyang gibuhat daotan sa panan-aw ni Yahweh. Mao nga gipatay usab siya ni Yahweh.
Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
11 Unya miingon si Juda kang Tamar, nga iyang umagad nga babaye, “Pabilin nga usa ka biyuda sa balay sa imong amahan hangtod nga maulitawo ang akong anak nga si Sela.” Tungod kay naghunahuna siya nga, “Basin mamatay usab siya sama sa iyang mga igsoon.” Busa mibiya si Tamar ug mipuyo sa balay sa iyang amahan.
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 Milabay ang taas nga panahon, namatay ang asawa ni Juda nga anak ni Sua. Pagkahuman sa pagbangotan ni Juda, miadto siya ug ang iyang higala nga si Hira nga taga-Adulam sa mga tigtupi sa balhibo sa iyang mga karnero didto sa Timna.
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 Gisultihan si Tamar, “Tan-awa, ang imong ugangang lalaki motungas sa Timna aron sa pagpatupi sa iyang mga karnero.”
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 Gihukas niya ang iyang bisti sa pagkabiyuda ug nagsul-ob ug bilo ug gitabonan ang iyang kaugalingon. Milingkod siya sa ganghaan sa Enaim, nga daplin sa dalan paingon sa Timna. Kay nakita niya nga ulitawo na si Sela apan wala siya gihatag kaniya ingon nga asawa niini.
[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 Sa dihang nakita siya ni Juda nagtuo kini nga usa siya ka babayeng nagabaligya ug dungog tungod kay gitabonan man niya ang iyang nawong.
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 Miduol siya kaniya sa daplin sa dalan ug miingon, “Dali, kay buot kong makigdulog kanimo”—tungod kay wala kini masayod nga siya ang iyang umagad nga babaye—ug miingon ang babaye, “Unsa man ang imong ihatag kanako aron makadulog ka kanako?”
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 Miingon siya, “Padad-an ko ikaw ug nating kanding gikan sa panon.” Miingon siya, “Mohatag ka ba kanako ug saad hangtod nga ikaw makapadala niini?”
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 Mitubag siya, “Unsa man nga saad ang akong ihatag kanimo?” Ug siya miingon, “Ang imong silyo ug higot, ug ang imong sungkod.” Gihatag niya kini ug nakigdulog kaniya. Ug nagmabdos siya pinaagi kaniya.
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 Mibangon siya ug mibiya. Gihubo niya ang iyang bilo ug gisul-ob ang bisti sa pagkabiyuda.
After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
20 Gipadala ni Juda ang nati nga kanding gikan sa panon sa iyang higala nga taga-Adulam aron kuhaon ang saad gikan sa kamot sa babaye, apan wala niya hikaplagi ang babaye.
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 Unya ang taga-Adulam nangutana sa mga tawo sa maong dapit, “Asa na ang babaye nga nagabaligya ug dungog nga anaa sa Enaim daplin sa dalan?” Miingon sila, “Walay babaye nga nagabaligya ug dungog dinhi.”
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 Mibalik siya ngadto kang Juda ug miingon, “Wala nako siya hikaplagi. Ang mga tawo sa maong dapit miingon usab, 'Walay babaye nga nagabaligya ug dungog dinhi.'”
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 Miingon si Juda, “Pasagdi nga maiya ang mga butang aron dili kita maulawan. Hinuon, gipadala ko na man kining nati nga kanding, apan wala mo siya hikaplagi.”
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 Nahitabo kini pagkahuman sa mga tulo ka bulan nga gisulti kini ngadto kang Juda, “Si Tamar nga imong umagad nga babaye nahimong babayeng nagabaligya ug dungog, ug namabdos siya tungod niini.” Miingon si Juda, “Dad-a siya dinhi ug sunoga.”
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 Sa dihang gidala na siya sa gawas, nagpadala siya ug mensahe ngadto sa iyang ugangan nga lalaki. “Pinaagi sa tawo nga nanag-iya niini namabdos ako.” Siya miingon, “Ilha palihog kung kang kinsa kini, ang silyo ug higot ug ang sungkod.”
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 Nailhan ni Juda ang mga butang ug miingon, “Siya ang mas labing husto kay kanako, sanglit wala ko man siya gihatag aron asawa ni Sela, nga akong anak nga lalaki.” Ug wala na siya midulog kaniya pag-usab.
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 Nahitabo kini sa panahon nga manganak na siya, tan-awa, adunay kaluha sulod sa iyang tagoangkan.
When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
28 Nahitabo kini sa dihang manganak na siya nga ang usa mipagawas sa iyang kamot, ug ang mananabang mikuha ug pula nga tanod ug gihigtan ang kamot sa bata, ug miingon, “Kini ang unang migawas.”
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 Nahitabo nga sa dihang gibira niya ang iyang kamot, tan-awa, ang iyang igsoong lalaki ang unang migawas. Miingon ang mananabang, “Giunsa nimo paggawas!” Ug ginganlan siya ug Perez.
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 Unya migawas ang iyang igsoon, ang adunay tanod nga pula sa iyang kamot, ug ginganlan siya ug Zera.
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].’
