< Postanak 38 >

1 Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.
And it fortuned at that tyme that Iudas went from his brethren and gatt him to a man called Hira of Odollam
2 Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj
and there he sawe the doughter of a man called Sua a Canaanyte. And he toke her ad went in vnto her.
3 te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.
And she conceaued and bare a sonne and called his name Er.
4 Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.
And she conceaued agayne and bare a sonne and called him Onan.
5 Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.
And she conceaued the thyrde tyme and bare a sonne whom she called Scla: and he was at Chesyb when she bare hem.
6 Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.
And Iudas gaue Er his eldest sonne a wife whose name was Thamar.
7 Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.
But this Er Iudas eldest sonne was wicked in the syghte of the LORde wherfore the LORde slewe him.
8 Tada reče Juda Onanu: “Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!”
Than sayde Iudas vnto Onan: goo in to thi brothers wyfe and Marie her and styrre vp seed vnto thy brother.
9 Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.
And when Onan perceaued that the seed shulde not be his: therfore when he went in to his brothers wife he spylled it on the grounde because he wold not geue seed vnto his brother.
10 To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.
And the thinge which he dyd displeased the LORde wherfore he slew him also.
11 Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: “Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela.” Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.
Than sayde Iudas to Thamar his doughter in lawe: remayne a wydow at thi fathers house tyll Sela my sonne be growne: for he feared lest he shulde haue dyed also as his brethren did. Thus went Thamar and dwelt in hir fathers house.
12 Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.
And in processe of tyme the doughter of Sua Iudas wife dyed. Than Iudas when he had left mornynge went vnto his shepe sherers to Thimnath with his frende Hira of Odollam.
13 Obavijeste Tamaru: “Eno ti je svekar”, rekoše joj, “na putu u Timnu da striže ovce.”
And one told Thamar saynge: beholde thy father in lawe goth vp to Thimnath to shere his shepe.
14 Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.
And she put hyr wydows garmetes of from her and couered her with a clooke and disgyssed herself: And sat her downe at the entrynge of Enaim which is by the hye wayes syde to Thimnath for because she sawe that Sela was growne and she was not geue vnto him to wife.
15 Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.
When Iuda sawe her he thought it had bene an hoore because she had couered hyr face.
16 Svrati se on k njoj i reče: “Daj da ti priđem!” Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: “Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?”
And turned to her vnto the waye and sayde come I praye the let me lye with the for he knewe not that it was his doughter in lawe. And she sayde what wylt thou gyue me for to lye with me?
17 “Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada”, odgovori. “Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ.”
Tha sayde he I will sende the a kydd fro the flocke. She answered Than geue me a pledge till thou sende it.
18 A on zapita: “Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?” Ona odgovori: “Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci.” Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.
Than sayde he what pledge shall I geue the? And she sayde: they sygnett thy necke lace and thy staffe that is in thy hande. And he gaue it her and lay by her and she was with child by him.
19 Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.
And she gatt her vp and went and put her mantell from her ad put on hir widowes rayment agayne.
20 Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.
And Iudas sent the kydd by his neybure of Odollam for to fetch out his pledge agayne from the wifes hande. But he fownde her not.
21 Upita ljude u mjestu: “Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?” Oni mu odgovore: “Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
Than asked he the men of the same place saynge: where is the whoore that satt at Enaim in the waye? And they sayde: there was no whoore here.
22 Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: “Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
And he came to Iuda agayne saynge: I can not fynde her and also the men of the place sayde: that there was no whoore there.
23 Onda reče Juda: “Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao.”
And Iuda sayde: let her take it to her lest we be shamed: for I sente the kydd and thou coudest not fynde her.
24 Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: “Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela.” “Izvedite je”, naredi Juda, “pa neka se spali!”
And it came to passe that after. iij. monethes one tolde Iuda saynge: Thamar thy doughter in lawe hath played the whoore and with playnge the whoore is become great with childe. And Iuda sayde: brynge her forth ad let her be brente.
25 Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: “Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo.” Još doda: “Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!”
And when they brought her forth she sent to her father in lawe saynge: by the ma vnto whome these thinges pertayne am I with childe. And sayd also: loke whose are this seall necklace and staffe.
26 Juda ih prepozna pa reče: “Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu.” Ali više s njom nije imao posla.
And Iuda knewe them saynge: she is more rightwes tha I because I gaue her not to Sela my sone. But he laye with her nomore.
27 Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.
When tyme was come that she shulde be delyuered beholde there was. ij. twynnes in hyr wobe.
28 Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: “Ovaj je izišao prvi.”
And as she traveled the one put out his hande and the mydwife toke and bownde a reed threde aboute it saynge: this wyll come out fyrst.
29 Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: “Kakav li proder napravi!” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.
But he plucked his hande backe agayne and his brother came out. And she sayde: wherfore hast thou rent a rent vppon the? and called him Pharez.
30 Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
And afterward came out his brother that had the reade threde about his hade which was called Zarah.
