< 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.
About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
2 I uzřel tam Juda dceru muže Kananejského, kterýž sloul Sua; a pojav ji, všel k ní.
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
3 Kterážto počala a porodila syna; i nazval jméno jeho Her.
So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
4 A počavši opět, porodila syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Onan.
Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 Porodila pak ještě syna, jehož jméno nazvala Séla. A byl Juda v Chezib, když ona jej porodila.
Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
6 I dal Juda Herovi prvorozenému svému manželku, jménem Támar.
Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 A byl Her, prvorozený Judův, zlý před očima Hospodina; i zabil jej Hospodin.
But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
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, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”
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 that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 I nelíbilo se Hospodinu to, co dělal Onan; protož ho také zabil.
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
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, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
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.
After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
13 I oznámeno jest Támar těmito slovy: Aj, tchán tvůj vstupuje do Tamnas, aby střihl ovce své.
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear 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 removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 Kteroužto uzřev Juda, za to měl, že jest nevěstka; nebo zakryla tvář svou.
When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
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?
Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
17 Odpověděl: Pošliť kozelce z stáda. Dí ona: Kdybys něco zastavil, dokavadž nepošleš.
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
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.
“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 Tedy vstavši, odešla, a sňavši rouchu svou s sebe, oblékla se v šaty své vdovské.
Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
20 I poslal Juda kozelce po příteli svém Odolamitském, aby vzal zase základ od ženy. A nenalezl jí.
Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
21 I ptal se mužů toho místa, řka: Kde jest ta nevěstka, kteráž seděla na rozcestí této cesty? Řekli oni: Nebylotě zde nevěstky.
He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.
22 Tedy navrátiv se k Judovi, řekl: Nenašel jsem jí; a také muži místa toho pravili: Nebylo zde nevěstky.
So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”
23 I řekl Juda: Nechť sobě to má, abychom neuvedli se v lehkost. Jáť jsem poslal toho kozelce, ale tys jí nenalezl.
“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find 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, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”
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?
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”
26 Tedy pohleděv na to Juda, řekl: Spravedlivějšíť jest než já, poněvadž jsem nedal jí Sélovi synu svému. A více jí nepoznával.
Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.
27 Stalo se pak, že když přišel čas porodu jejího, aj, bliženci v životě jejím.
When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
28 A když rodila, jeden z nich vyskytl ruku, kteroužto chytivši baba, uvázala na ni červenou nitku, řkuci: Ten vyjde prvé.
And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.
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 when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
30 A potom vyšel bratr jeho, kterýž měl na ruce nitku červenou. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Zára.
Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
