1 Mojžišova 38
1 Stalo se pak v ten čas, že sstupuje Juda od bratří svých, uchýlil se k muži Odolamitskému, jehož jméno bylo Híra.
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 I uzřel tam Juda dceru muže Kananejského, kterýž sloul Sua; a pojav ji, všel k ní.
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 Kterážto počala a porodila syna; i nazval jméno jeho Her.
and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
4 A počavši opět, porodila syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Onan.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
5 Porodila pak ještě syna, jehož jméno nazvala Séla. A byl Juda v Chezib, když ona jej porodila.
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 I dal Juda Herovi prvorozenému svému manželku, jménem Támar.
When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
7 A byl Her, prvorozený Judův, zlý před očima Hospodina; i zabil jej Hospodin.
But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
8 Tedy řekl Juda Onanovi: Vejdi k ženě bratra svého, a podlé příbuznosti pojmi ji, abys vzbudil símě bratru svému.
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 Věděl pak Onan, že to símě nebude jeho. Protož kdykoli vcházel k ženě bratra svého, vypouštěl símě na zem, aby nezplodil synů bratru svému.
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 I nelíbilo se Hospodinu to, co dělal Onan; protož ho také zabil.
Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
11 Tedy řekl Juda k Támar nevěstě své: Pobuď v domě otce svého vdovou, dokudž nedoroste Séla, syn můj. (Nebo řekl: Aby on také neumřel, jako i bratří jeho.) I odešla Támar, a bydlila v domě otce svého.
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 A po mnohých dnech umřela dcera Suova, manželka Judova. Kterýžto potěšiv se zas, šel do Tamnas k těm, kteříž střihli ovce jeho, a s ním Híra Odolamitský, přítel jeho.
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 I oznámeno jest Támar těmito slovy: Aj, tchán tvůj vstupuje do Tamnas, aby střihl ovce své.
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 Tedy ona složivši s sebe šaty své vdovské, zavila se v rouchu, a oděla se a seděla na rozcestí, kudy se jde do Tamnas. Nebo viděla, že Séla dorostl, a že není dána jemu za manželku.
[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 Kteroužto uzřev Juda, za to měl, že jest nevěstka; nebo zakryla tvář svou.
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 Protož uchýliv se k ní s cesty, řekl: Dopusť medle, ať vejdu k tobě. (Nebo nevěděl, aby nevěsta jeho byla.) I řekla: Co mi dáš, jestliže vejdeš ke mně?
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 Odpověděl: Pošliť kozelce z stáda. Dí ona: Kdybys něco zastavil, dokavadž nepošleš.
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 I řekl: Cožť mám dáti v zástavě? Odpověděla ona: Pečetní prsten svůj, a halži svou, a hůl svou, kterouž máš v ruce své. I dal jí, a všel k ní; a počala z něho.
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 Tedy vstavši, odešla, a sňavši rouchu svou s sebe, oblékla se v šaty své vdovské.
After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
20 I poslal Juda kozelce po příteli svém Odolamitském, aby vzal zase základ od ženy. A nenalezl jí.
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 I ptal se mužů toho místa, řka: Kde jest ta nevěstka, kteráž seděla na rozcestí této cesty? Řekli oni: Nebylotě zde nevěstky.
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 Tedy navrátiv se k Judovi, řekl: Nenašel jsem jí; a také muži místa toho pravili: Nebylo zde nevěstky.
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 I řekl Juda: Nechť sobě to má, abychom neuvedli se v lehkost. Jáť jsem poslal toho kozelce, ale tys jí nenalezl.
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 I stalo se okolo tří měsíců, že oznámili Judovi, řkouce: Dopustila se smilství Támar nevěsta tvá, a jest již i těhotná z smilství. I řekl Juda: Vyveďte ji, aby byla upálena.
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 Když pak vedena byla, poslala k tchánu svému, řkuci: Z muže, jehož tyto věci jsou, těhotná jsem. A při tom řekla: Pohleď, prosím, čí jsou tyto věci, pečetní prsten, halže a hůl tato?
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 Tedy pohleděv na to Juda, řekl: Spravedlivějšíť jest než já, poněvadž jsem nedal jí Sélovi synu svému. A více jí nepoznával.
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 Stalo se pak, že když přišel čas porodu jejího, aj, bliženci v životě jejím.
When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
28 A když rodila, jeden z nich vyskytl ruku, kteroužto chytivši baba, uvázala na ni červenou nitku, řkuci: Ten vyjde prvé.
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 Když pak vtáhl ruku svou zase, hle, vyšel bratr jeho. I řekla: Jak jsi protrhl? Tvéť jest protržení. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Fáres.
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 A potom vyšel bratr jeho, kterýž měl na ruce nitku červenou. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Zára.
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].’
