Chakruok 38
1 E kindeno, Juda noweyo owetene kendo nodhi odak gi ja-Adulam ma nyinge Hira.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
2 Kuno Juda noromo gi nyar Shua ja-Kanaan mokendo kendo oriwore kode.
And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 Nomako ich kendo onywolo wuowi manochaki ni Er.
And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
4 Nochako omako ich kendo onywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Onan.
And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
5 Nochako onywolo wuowi machielo kendo nochake ni Shela. Wuowini nonywolo ka en Kezib.
And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
6 Juda nokendone Er, wuode maduongʼ dhako kendo niluonge ni Tamar.
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 To kata kamano, Er wuod Juda maduongʼ ne ngʼama timbene richo ahinya e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
8 Eka Juda nowacho ne Onan wuode niya, “Kaw chi owadu kendo ibed kode kaka yuori mondo inywol kode nyithindo ichung godo wi owadu.”
Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 To Onan nongʼeyo ni nyithindogo ok bi bedo mage, kuom mano e sa asaya mane oriwore kod chi owadgino; ne oolo kothe oko e lowo mondo ne mi kik onywol nyathi ne owadgi.
But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
10 Gimane otimono ne gima kwero e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano en bende Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
11 Eka Juda nowacho ne Tamar chi wuode niya, “Dhi dag e od wuonu kaka dhako ma chwore otho nyaka chop Shela wuoda bed maduongʼ.” Nikech noparo niya, “En bende onyalo tho mana kaka owetene.” Kuom mano Tamar nodhi odak gi wuon mare.
And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
12 Bangʼ kinde moko, nyar Shua ma chi Juda notho. Kane Juda osetieko weche mag liel, nodhi nyaka Timna ir joma ne lielo yie rombege kendo nodhi gi Hira ja-Adulam ma osiepne.
And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 Kane owach ne Tamar ni kwar mare owuok dhi Timna ngʼado yie rombe,
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
14 nolonyo lawe mar chola oko, moumore gi suka mondo olok kite eka ne odhi mobet e dhorangach madonjo Enaim, mantie e yo madhi Timna. Nikech noneno ni kata obedo ni Shela koro osebedo ngʼama duongʼ, to ne ok omiyego mondo obed chwore.
And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
15 Kane Juda onene, noparo ni en ochot nikech noumo wangʼe.
And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
16 Ka ok ongʼeyo ni mano chi wuode Juda nodhi ire kamane obetie bath yo kendo owachone niya, “Koro bi mondo wabed kodi e achiel.” To Tamar nopenje niya, “Ibiro miya angʼo ka wabedo kodi e achiel?”
And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?
17 To Juda nodwoke niya, “Abiro oroni nyadiel magolo e kwethna.” To Tamar nomedo penje niya, “Ibiro singona angʼo kapok ioro nyadiendno?”
And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?
18 To Juda nodwoke niya, “Singo mar angʼo ma idwaro?” To Tamar nodwoke niya, “Miya banglinino gi tonde kod luth manie lwetino.” Kuom mano Juda nomiyo Tamar chi wuode gigo kendo noriwore kode mi Tamar nomako ich kod Juda kwar mare.
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.
19 Bangʼ ka Tamar nosedhi, nogolo law mane oumore godo kendo ochako orwako lawe mar chola.
And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Eka bangʼe Juda nooro osiepne ma ja-Adulam gi nyadiel mondo mi oduogne gige mane Tamar odhigodo, to osiepne ne ok oyudo Tamar.
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
21 Nopenjo ji mane odak kanyo niya, “Ere ochot madhako mane obet e akek yo madhi Enaim cha?” To negidwoke niya, “Onge ochot ma dhako ka.”
And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.
22 Eka nodok ir Juda kendo owachone niya, “Ok ayude. To ji modak kanyo ne owachona ni, ‘Onge ochot madhako ka.’”
And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.
23 Eka Juda nowacho niya, “We obed gi gik mane asingonego, nono to ji biro nyierowa. To bende aseorone nyadiendno, to ok inyal yude.”
Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 Bangʼ dweche adek Juda noyudo wach niya, “Tamar chi wuode tim chode osemiyo wichkuot kendo kuom mano koro en gi ich.” Juda nowacho niya, “Goleuru oko kendo uwangʼe nyaka otho!”
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
25 E kinde mane igolo Tamar oko, noorone kwar mare wach niya, “Wuon banglini gi tonde kod ludhni ema nomiya ich rang ane ka inyalo yudo wuon-gi.”
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
26 Juda nofwenyo gigo, kendo owacho niya, “Dhakoni ja-adiera maloya, nikech ne ok amiye Shela wuoda mondo okende.” Kendo Juda ne ok ochako oriwore kode.
And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27 Kane sa ochopo mondo onywolie, nofwenyo ni en kod rude ma yawuowi e iye.
And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
28 Kane oyudo onywol, lwet nyathi achiel nowuok oko; kuom mano jacholo nokawo usi makwar kendo otweyo e ngʼut lwedono ka owacho niya, “Ma ema ne okwongo owuok.”
And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
29 To kane nyathino odwoko lwete iye, owadgi machielo nowuok mi owacho niya, “Kama e kaka ithinyori oko!” Omiyo nochake ni Perez.
And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
30 Eka owadgi mane otwe usi e ngʼut lwete nowuok mi nochake nying ni Zera.
And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
