Genesis 38
1 Pa nthawi imeneyi, Yuda anasiyana ndi abale ake napita kukakhala ndi munthu wina wa ku Adulamu wotchedwa Hira.
Ɛbaa sɛ saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yuda tu firii ne nuammarimanom no nkyɛn ne Adulamni ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Hira kɔtenaeɛ.
2 Kumeneko, Yuda anaona mwana wamkazi wa munthu wina wa Chikanaani wotchedwa Suwa. Anamukwatira nagona naye malo amodzi.
Ɛhɔ na Yuda kɔhyiaa Kanaanni ɔbaa bi a ɔyɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Sua no babaa. Yuda waree Sua babaa no.
3 Iye anatenga pathupi, nabala mwana wamwamuna amene anamutcha Eri.
Sua babaa no nyinsɛneeɛ, woo ɔbabarima, na wɔtoo no edin Er.
4 Anatenganso pathupi nabala mwana wa mwamuna ndipo anamutcha Onani.
Sua babaa no sane nyinsɛneeɛ woo ɔbabarima bio. Wɔtoo abɔfra no edin Onan.
5 Anaberekanso mwana wina wamwamuna ndipo anamutcha Sela. Ameneyu anabadwa Yuda ali ku Kezibi.
Sua babaa no nyinsɛneeɛ ne mprɛnsa so wɔ Kesib, woo ɔbabarima bio. Saa abarimaa no nso, wɔtoo no edin Sela.
6 Yuda anamupezera mkazi mwana wake woyamba uja Eri, ndipo dzina la mkaziyo linali Tamara.
Ɛberɛ a Yuda abakan Er nyiniiɛ no, wɔwaree ababaawa bi a wɔfrɛ no Tamar maa no.
7 Koma ntchito zoyipa za Eri, mwana wachisamba wa Yuda zinayipira Yehova. Choncho Mulungu anamulanga ndi imfa.
Esiane sɛ na Yuda abakan Er yɛ omumuyɛfoɔ wɔ Awurade anim no enti, Awurade kumm no.
8 Pamenepo Yuda anati kwa Onani, “Kwatira mkazi wamasiye wa mʼbale wako. Ulowe chokolo kuti mʼbale wako akhale ndi mwana.”
Er wuo akyiri no, Yuda ka kyerɛɛ Er akyiri ba Onan sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ woware okunafoɔ Tamar, sɛdeɛ yɛn amanneɛ te no, na sɛ wo ne no wo a, mma no ayɛ wo nua no adedifoɔ.”
9 Koma Onani anadziwa kuti mwanayo sadzakhala wake. Choncho nthawi zonse pamene amagona naye mkaziyo, ankatayira umuna pansi kuti asamuberekere mwana mʼbale wake.
Esiane sɛ na Onan mpɛ sɛ ɔbɛwo akyɛ a mmɔfra no renyɛ nʼankasa mma enti, sɛ ɔne okunafoɔ Tamar kɔda a, ɔmma nʼahobaa no ngu ɔbaa no mu. Mmom, ɔma no gu fam sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenwo ɔba a ɛbɛyɛ ne nua owufoɔ no deɛ.
10 Zimene ankachitazi zinayipira Yehova. Choncho anamulanganso ndi imfa.
Esiane sɛ deɛ ɔyɛeɛ no nsɔ Awurade ani, sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔwo ba ma ne nua owufoɔ no enti, ɔno nso, ɔkumm no.
11 Kenaka Yuda anati kwa mpongozi wake Tamara, “Bwererani ku nyumba ya abambo anu ndi kukhala kumeneko ngati wamasiye mpaka mwana wanga Sela atakula.” Ananena izi chifukwa ankaopa kuti Sela angafenso ngati abale ake aja. Choncho Tamara anapita kukakhala ku nyumba ya abambo ake.
Afei, Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼase okunafoɔ Tamar sɛ, “Tu na kɔtena wʼagya fie sɛ okunafoɔ kɔsi sɛ me babarima Sala bɛnyini.” Na ɔsuro sɛ, Sela nso bɛwu, sɛdeɛ ne nuanom mpanimfoɔ Er ne Onan wuwuiɛ no. Enti, Tamar tu kɔtenaa nʼagya fie hɔ.
12 Patapita nthawi yayitali, Batishua, mkazi wa Yuda anamwalira. Yuda atatha kulira maliro a mkazi wake, anapita, iyeyu pamodzi ndi bwenzi lake Hira, Mwadulamu uja, ku Timna kumene ankameta nkhosa zawo.
Ɛwɔ hɔ ara na Yuda yere a ɔyɛ Sua babaa no nso wuiɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔyii Yuda firii kuna mu no, ɔkɔɔ ne nnwanhotwitwafoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Timna. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔne nʼadamfo Adulamni Hira na ɛkɔeɛ.
13 Tamara atamva kuti apongozi ake akupita ku Timna kukameta nkhosa,
Obi bɛbɔɔ Tamar amaneɛ sɛ, “Wʼase Yuda rebɛtwam akɔ Timna akɔtwitwa ne nnwan ho nwi.”
14 iye anavula zovala zake za umasiye, nadziphimba nkhope ndi nsalu kuti asadziwike, ndipo anakhala pansi pa chipata cha ku Enaimu popita ku Timna. Tamara anachita izi chifukwa anaona kuti ngakhale Selayo anali atakula tsopano, iye sanaperekedwe kuti amulowe chokolo.
Enti, Tamar yii ne kuna ntadeɛ no guu hɔ. Ɔfaa nkatanimu kataa nʼanim, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara nhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno Tamar. Afei, ɔkɔtenaa Enaim kurotia wɔ Timna ɛkwan so. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ Sela anyini deɛ, nanso na Yuda mmaa ne babarima no kwan mmaa ɔmmɛwaree no.
15 Yuda atamuona anangomuyesa mkazi wadama chabe, chifukwa anadziphimba nkhope.
Ɛberɛ a Yuda hunuu Tamar no, na ɔdwene sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa dwamanfoɔ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, na wakata nʼanim.
16 Tsono anapita kwa mkaziyo pamphepete pa msewu paja nati, “Tabwera ndigone nawe.” Apa Yuda sankadziwa kuti mkazi uja anali mpongozi wake. Ndiye mkazi uja anamufunsa Yuda nati, “Mudzandipatsa chiyani kuti ndigone nanu?”
Yuda kɔɔ Tamar nkyɛn wɔ ɛkwankyɛn hɔ a, na ɔnnim sɛ ɔyɛ nʼase. Yuda ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ seesei ara na me ne wo nkɔda.” Tamar bisaa no sɛ, “Sɛ me ne wo kɔda a, wobɛma me ɛdeɛn?”
17 Iye anati, “Ndidzakutumizira kamwana kambuzi ka mʼkhola mwanga.” Mkaziyo anayankha kuti, “Chabwino, ndavomera, koma mungandipatse chikole mpaka mutanditumizira mbuziyo?”
Yuda buaa sɛ, “Mɛma wɔde ɔpapo afiri me nnwankuo no mu abrɛ wo.” Tamar bisaa no bio sɛ, “Ansa na wode ɔpapo no bɛba no, ɛdeɛn na wode bɛdi wo ho agyinamu?”
18 Iye anati, “Ndikupatse chikole chanji?” Mkaziyo anayankha, “Mundipatse mphete yanuyo, chingwe chanucho pamodzi ndi ndodo imene ili mʼdzanja lanulo.” Choncho anazipereka kwa iye nagona naye ndipo anatenga pathupi.
Yuda nso bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn adeɛ na wopɛ sɛ mede di me ho agyinamu?” Tamar buaa sɛ, “Deɛ fa di wo ho agyinamu ne wo nsa so kawa ne nʼahoma ne saa poma a ɛkura wo yi.” Enti, Yuda de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa maa Tamar ne no kɔdaeɛ, ma ɔnyinsɛneeɛ.
19 Kenaka Tamara anachoka, navula nsalu anadziphimba nayo ija, navalanso zovala zake za umasiye zija.
Tamar firii hɔ akyiri no, ɔkɔyii ne nkatanimu no guu hɔ, sane faa ne kunatam firaeɛ.
20 Tsono Yuda anatuma bwenzi lake Mwadulamu uja ndi kamwana kambuzi kaja kuti akapereke kwa mkazi wadama uja, ndi kuti akatero amubwezere chikole chake chija. Koma atafika sanamupezepo.
Yuda de ɔpapo no maa nʼadamfo Adulamni no sɛ, ɔmfa nkɔma ɔbaa no, na ɔnnye nneɛma a ɔde dii ne ho agyinamu no mmrɛ no no, wanhu no. Enti, Adulamni no
21 Anawafunsa anthu a komweko, “Kodi mkazi wadama uja amene ankakhala pambali pa msewu wa ku Enaimu, ali kuti?” Iwo anayankha, “Sipanakhalepo mkazi wa dama aliyense pano.”
bisaa kurom hɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛhe na hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ a na ɔte Enaim kwankyɛn frɛfrɛ mmarima no wɔ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛnni hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ biara wɔ ha.”
22 Choncho anabwerera kwa Yuda nati, “Sindinamupeze mkazi uja. Kuwonjeza apo, anthu a kumeneko amati, ‘Sipanakhalepo mkazi wadama pano.’”
Enti, ɔsane kɔɔ Yuda hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Manhunu no. Ɛnna kurom hɔfoɔ nso kaa sɛ, ‘Hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ biara nni ha.’”
23 Pamenepo Yuda anati, “Mulekeni atenge zinthuzo zikhale zake, kuopa kuti anthu angatiseke. Ine sindinalakwe, ndinamutumizira kamwana kambuzika, koma simunamupeze.”
Yuda nso kaa sɛ, “Ma no mfa nneɛma no, na anyɛ saa a wɔbɛsere yɛn. Wo ara wodi ho adanseɛ sɛ memaa wode ɔpapo no kɔeɛ, nanso woanhunu no.”
24 Patapita miyezi itatu, Yuda anawuzidwa kuti, “Mpongozi wanu Tamara anachita zadama, ndipo zotsatira zake nʼzakuti ali ndi pathupi.” Yuda anati, “Kamutulutseni ndipo mukamutenthe kuti afe!”
Ɛbɛyɛ abosome mmiɛnsa akyiri no, Yuda tee sɛ nʼase Tamar abɔ adwaman, anyinsɛn. Ɔtee saa asɛm no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Monkɔkye no mmra, na yɛnhye no, nku no.”
25 Akumutulutsa, iye anatuma mawu kwa apongozi ake. Anati, “Ndili ndi pathupi pa munthu amene ndi mwini wake wa zinthu izi. Taziyangʼanitsitsani, kodi mwini wa khoza, chingwe ndi ndodo yoyenderayi ndi yani?”
Wɔkɔkyeree Tamar de no reba abɛkum no no, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ nʼase Yuda sɛ, “Onipa a ne nneɛma nie no na ɔne me nyinsɛneeɛ. Monhwɛ sɛ mobɛhunu onipa ko a saa nsa so kawa ne nʼahoma ne poma yi yɛ ne dea no anaa.”
26 Yuda anazizindikira zinthuzo ndipo anati, “Uyu ndi wolungama kuposa ine, chifukwa sindinamupereke kwa mwana wanga Sela.” Ndipo Yuda sanagone nayenso.
Yuda gye too mu sɛ, saa nneɛma no yɛ ne dea. Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Ɔbaa yi yɛ ɔteneneeni sen me, ɛfiri sɛ, mamfa no amma me babarima Sela anware.” Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yuda ankɔ Tamar ho bio.
27 Pamene Tamara nthawi inamukwanira yoti abeleke, mʼmimbamo munali mapasa.
Tamar awoɔ duruu so no, ɔwoo nta.
28 Pamene ankabereka, mmodzi wa iwo anatulutsa dzanja lake. Choncho mzamba anatenga kawulusi kofiira nakamangirira pa mkono pa mwanayo nati, “Uyu ndiye anayamba kubadwa.”
Ɛberɛ a ɔrewo no, nta no mu baako de ne nsa dii ɛkan baeɛ. Enti, ɔbaa a ɔregye no awoɔ no de asaawa kɔkɔɔ bɔɔ abɔfra no abakɔn, kaa sɛ, “Yei na wɔwoo no kane.”
29 Koma pamene anabweza mkonowo, mʼbale wake anabadwa ndipo mzamba anati, “Wachita kudziphotcholera wekha njira chonchi!” Ndipo anamutcha Perezi.
Saa abɔfra no twee ne nsa sane kɔɔ mu. Ɔsane twee ne nsa kɔɔ mu no, wɔwoo ne nua a ɔka ne ho no mmom. Na ɔwogyefoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn abususɛm ni!” Wɔtoo no edin Peres.
30 Pambuyo pake mʼbale wake amene anali ndi ulusi wofiira pa mkono wake uja anabadwa ndipo anapatsidwa dzina lakuti Zera.
Akyire no, ɔwoo ne nuabarima a na asaawa kɔkɔɔ bɔ nʼabakɔn no. Wɔtoo ɔno nso edin Serah.
