Semtilbu 38
1 Hiche phat laitah chun Judah chun asopite adalhan Adullan kiti muna Hirah kitipa toh ana cheng khom lhon in ahi.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down away from his brethren, —and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was Hirah.
2 Chule Judah in Canan numei amin Shua kitinu chu aki chenpin chule ana kiti matpi tan ahi.
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose, name, was Shua, —and he took her, and went in unto her;
3 Amanu chu ahung kivopmon nao ahin neitan chule nao min chu Er asahtan ahi.
and she conceived and bare a son, —and he called his name Er.
4 Chuin amanu akivopmo kit in nao pasal khat ahin hinbekit in nao min chu Onam asah tai.
And she conceived again and bare a son, —and she called his name Onan.
5 Abanin amanun nao pasal athum lhinna pachu amin Sheila asah in, Sheila apen lai tah a chu amaho Kezib kiti muna achen laitah'u ahiye.
And she, yet again, bare a son, and called his name Shelah, —and she, was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Judah in achapa atah pen Er ding in numei khang thah amin Tamar chu ajidin apui peh e.
And Judah took a wife, for Er his firstborn, —and, her name, was Tamar.
7 Hinlah Er chu migilou miphamo tah ahijeh chun Pakaiyin ahinkho ala dohtai.
And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —so Yahweh put him to death,
8 Hichun Judah Onam kitipa, Er sopipa koma hitin aseiye, “Nangma che inlang Tamar khu gaki chenpi tan ati, ajeh chu pasal khat insunga ahinkho abeitah le dan in aphal ahi, asopipan avet thei ding, na sopipa dinga chilhah nasem doh peh tei ding ahi.”
Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law unto her, —and raise up seed, to thy brother.
9 Amavang Onan kitipa chu anompon ama chilhah ahilou ding chu, hijeh chun a sopi pa ji toh alup khom lhona a kitimat teng abotwi ho chu tollhanga abolha jin, hijeh chun Tamar chun nao avop thei tapon asopipa adin jong chilhah gou aum doh jou tapon ahi.
And Onan knew that the seed would not be his, —and so although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.
10 Amavang Pakaiyin Onan umchan chu gilou engse asa lheh in asopi pa athisa adin chapa ahin peh nom lou athang thip jeh ahi, hijeh chun Pakaiyin Onan hinkho jong asuh chom pehtai.
And it was displeasing, in the eyes of Yahweh what he had done, —so he put, him also, to death,
11 Hichun Judah in Tamar amounu jah a hitin aseiye, “Kachapa Sheila kikhan lhit kah in napa in'a meithai jin ga umdohtan,” ati. Ijeh-inem itile asopite ni bang in ama jong thiget in te tia anagel ahi. Hijeh chun Tamar jong achen apa in nah aga chengtai.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law—Remain a widow in the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.
12 Phat chomkhat jou in Shua chanu Judah jinu jong athi tai; ahin Judah chu aki lhep lung mong dom phat in agolpa Adullam mi Hirah chutoh Timnah a akelngoi mul vouho henga aga che tauve.
And when the days were multiplied, then died Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, —and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.
13 Koiham khat in Tamar chu aseipeh in, “Ven na tehpu khu Timnah a kelngoi mul vou ding in ache touve,” a kiti peh e.
And it was told Tamar saying, —Lo! thy father-in-law is going up towards Timnah, to the shearing of his sheep.
14 Chuphat in amanun jong ameithai von chu akhel loijin, ponlu akikhun, akitomjol in Timnah lampia Enaim lamkot'a chun atou tai; ijeh-inem itile Sheila kikhan lhit ahitan, aji dinga amanu akipeh lou akimu ahitai.
So she put off from her the garments of her widowhood and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself up, and sat down in the entrance of, Enaim, which is by the way towards Timnah, —for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she, had not been given him to wife.
15 Judah in amanu (Tamar), chu amun ahin Judah in numei kijoh ho ahisah in ahi, ajeh chu amanun amai asel jeh ahi.
And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, —for she had covered her face.
16 Hichun Judah akihei jin, Tamar umna lampi koma amapan aseiyin, “Eini kitimat hite atin,” amapan amounu ahilam chu ahet doh lou ahin, hichun Tamar in adong tan “Ipi ijat neipeh ding ham ilupkhom lhon ding leh,” ati.
So he turned aside unto her. by the way, and said Grant it! I pray thee, let me come in unto thee! For he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, if thou shouldst come in unto me?
17 Chuin Judah in adonbut in, “Keima kelnou lah a khat nahin thah peh nang'e,” ati, hichun ama nun aseiyin, “Nakitep naho chu ahung guilhun kaha iti ka tahsan thei ding ham,” ati.
And he said, I, will send a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give a pledge until thou send it?
18 Judah in adong in, “Itobang kitepna na dei ham ati,” amanun adonbut in, “Na Mohor le nakhao toh chule nakhut a nachoi na tenggol chu toh,” ati. Hijeh chun amapan hichengse chu apen amanu chu aluppin ahile aman jong nao avop tai.
And he said—What is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said—Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So he gave them to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.
19 Phat chomkhat jouvin, Tamar a in lama a kinungle kit in a sangkhol chol akoi lhan masanga akivon na lui meithai sangkhol chu akivon in til abang chun hinkho amang kit tai.
Then she arose and went her way, and put off her veil from her, —and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Judah chun kelnou chu aloipa Adullam mipa khut'a numeinu henga khamgah na thil lhat doh dinga aga thahsah a ahile, Adullam mipan amanu chu agahol motan ahi.
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge at the hand of the woman, —but he found her not.
21 Hichun Adullam mipa Hira in hi koma cheng ho chu adong in, “Ena-im jotna a tou numeinu aki johnu chu hoilam a che hitam, ama hon adonbut un, “Keima hon hikoma hin numei phalou atahsa joh kamu kha pouve,” atiuve.
So he asked the men of her place saying. Where is the devotee, she that was in Enaim, by the way? And they said, —There hath been here no devotee.
22 Hichun Adullam mipa Hirah ahung ki nunglen thu umchan ho chu Judah asei peh tan ahi, “Keiman amanu umna chu kahol doh jou tapoi, chule chua cheng mihon jong hi tobang numei phalou atahsa joh aum poi,” atiuve.
Then returned he unto Judah, and said—I found her not, —moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee.
23 Judah in aseiye, “Thil kana peh ho chu ama nun eina koi peh maita hen, kaki nopto na lhon dungjui a kelcha nou khat ka pen ahin nangman na holmo tan, amanu chu enung hol kit le khosunga mijousen ei nuisat ding'u ahi tai.”
And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, —lo! I sent this kid, and, thou, hast not found her.
24 Lhathum jou don chun Judah chu mihon asei peh tauvin, “Tamar na mounu chu numei kijoh banga ana bol thu ahije, chule tuhin amanun nao avoptai atiuve.” Hichun Judah in aseiye, “Amanu chu hinpui doh unlang halvam tauvin,” ati.
And it came to pass that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying—Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.
25 Amavang amahon Tamar chu tha dingin ahin puidoh tauvin, Tamar in atehpu thu athot in hitin aseiye, “Hiche thil neipa tenggol ahin, khaodip ahin, Mahor ahin, koi thil pen ham? Ipi dinga thip beh cha um aham hiche neipa akona hi nao kavop ahi,” ati.
When, she, was about to be brought forth, then, she herself, sent unto her father-in-law saying, By the man to whom these belong, have I, conceived! And she said—Examine, I pray thee, to whom belong the signet-ring, and the guard, and the staff—these!
26 Judah in gangtah in ama nei le gou chu amu mun agel doh paitan ahi, “Tamar hi keima sanga chonpha jo ahiye ati. Ajeh chu keiman kachapa Sheila toh akichen lhon na ding imacha kana gonlou jeh ahi,” ati, chupet tah chun Judah chu Tamar toh apum kitimat tapoi.
So Judah examined them and said—More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27 Tamar dinga nao neina phat ahung naitan, amanun nao pasal ni pengkop ding ahi chu ahe tauvin ahi.
And, it came to pass at the time of her travail, that lo! twins, were in her womb.
28 Naoso nat akipan tan hiche pet tah chun naocha teni lah a khatpa akhut ahung doh in hichun numei lhacha a pangho chun patsan akhut'a akan peh un, “Hichepa hi hung peng masa ahi,” atiuve.
And it came to pass when she was in travail, that one put forth a hand, —so the midwife took and bound upon his hand a crimson thread, saying—This came first!
29 Hinlah hiche naocha chun akhut akailut kit tan, asopipa joh ahung peng masa tai. Hichun numei lhacha ho chun “Hiche hi ipi ham atiuve.” Nang in iti dan'a amasa a peng dingpa nahin chop khup ham atiuve.” Hichun amapa min chu Perez asah tauve.
And so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.
30 Chujouvin, naosen patsan a akhut kikanpa chu ahung peng tan hichun amapa min chun Zerah asah tauve.
And afterwards, came his brother, on whose hand was the crimson thread, —so his name was called, Zerah.
