Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Judah teh a hmaunawngha koehoi a cei teh, Adullam tami Hirah koevah ao.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he took her, and went in to her.
Judah ni haw vah, Kanaan tami Shua canu hah a hmu. Ahni hah a paluen teh a ikhai.
3 And she conceived, and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
Camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Judah ni a min lah Er a phung.
4 And she conceived again, and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. A manu ni a min lah Onan telah a phung.
5 And she yet again bore a son, and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
Ca tongpa alouke bout a khe teh, a min lah Shelah telah a phung. Hote ca tongpa a khe lahun navah, Judah teh Kezib vah ao.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Judah ni a camin Er hah a yu a paluen pouh teh, a min teh Tamar doeh.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah killed him.
Hateiteh, Judah e camin teh BAWIPA e mithmu vah tamikathout lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA ni ahni teh a thei.
8 And Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Judah ni Onan koevah, na hmau e yu hah ipkhai nateh, na hmau e cati hah pout hoeh nahanlah sak pouh, telah ati.
9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his. And it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
Onan ni a canaw hah mae ca lah awm mahoeh tie a panue dawkvah, a hmau e a yu a ikhai navah, a ca khe hoeh nahanlah alawilah atui yout a tâco sak.
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he killed him also.
A sak e hno ni BAWIPA a lunghawi sak hoeh dawkvah, Onan hai a thei.
11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown up, for he said, Lest he also die, like his brothers. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
Judah ni a langa Tamar koevah, ka capa Shelah heh a cue hoehroukrak na pa im dawk lahmai lah awm ei, telah hoehpawiteh, ahni hai a hmaunaw patetlah a due payon han doeh telah ati. Tamar ni a cei teh a na pa im vah ao.
12 And in process of time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. And Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Atueng moi a ro hnukkhu, Judah e yu Shua canu teh a due. Judah teh a lungpahawi hnukkhu, Timnah kho dawk e tumuen kangawnaw koe vah, amae a hui Adullam tami Hirah hoi reirei a ceitakhang roi.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goes up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
A langa Tarmar koevah, na pa teh tu muen ngaw hanelah Timnah vah cei hane a kâcai telah a dei pouh awh.
14 And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah, for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given to him to wife.
Ahni ni a lahmainae hni hah a rading teh, a minhmai a ramuknae hoi a kâramuk, a tak a kâyo teh Timnah kho longkha koelah a tahung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Shelah teh a cue eiteh, a na pa ni a yu lah paluen pouh ngai hoeh.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face.
Judah ni a hmu toteh, a minhmai a kâramuk dawkvah, kâyawt e lah a pouk.
16 And he turned to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me come in to thee, for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will thou give me, that thou may come in to me?
Hottelah hoi lam teng e napui a onae hah a pâtam teh, tho haw pahren lahoi rei ip roi sei telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a langa tie panuek hoeh. Napui ni na ipkhai pawiteh bangmaw na poe han telah ati.
17 And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Will thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
Ahni ni saringhu thung e hmaeca na patawn han telah ati, Hottelah hoi napui ni hot hah na patawn hoehnahlan vah na pâhung hane kawi na poe han na ou, telah ati.
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
Ahni ni bangmaw ka hung han telah telah ati. Napui ni na min na thutnae, arui hoi na sin e na sonron telah ati. Hottelah hoi a poe teh a ikhai, ahni teh camo a vawn.
19 And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
A thaw teh a minhmai ramuknae a hawng teh a lahmainae khohna hah bout a kho.
20 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 did not find her.
Judah teh napui koe hung e hno hah a ratang hanelah a hui Adullam koe vah hmaeca hah a patawn. Hateiteh, ahni ni napui hah hmawt hoeh.
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, who was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There has been no prostitute here.
Hottelah hoi haw e hmuen koe kaawm e taminaw koe lam teng e Enaim tak ka kâyawt e napui hah nâmaw ao telah a pacei, ahnimouh ni hie hmuen koe tak ka kâyawt e awm hoeh telah ati awh.
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her, and also the men of the place said, There has been no prostitute here.
Judah koe a ban teh, ahni teh ka hmawt thai hoeh. Haw e Taminaw ni hie hmuen dawk tak ka kâyawt e awm boihoeh telah ati awh, telah ati.
23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou have not found her.
Judah ni lat awh yawkaw naseh, hottelah hoehpawiteh, yeiraipo payon vaih, khenhaw! hmaeca heh na patawn ei, ama na hmawt ka lawn hoeh, telah ati.
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has played the harlot, and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Thapa yung pâthum hnukkhu vah ahnimouh ni Judah koe na langa Tamar teh kâyo hloilah cata a phu telah a dei pouh awh. Judah ni alawilah tâcawtkhai awh nateh hmaisawi e lah awm naseh telah ati.
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose these are, I am with child. And she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose these are, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.
A tâcokhai awh lahun navah, Tamar ni hete hno katawnkung koe hoi nahoehmaw camo ka vawn telah a na pa koe Tami a patoun. Napui ni vah pahren lahoi hete min thutnae hoi arui hoi sonronnaw heh, apie ne, kahawicalah khenhaw! telah ati.
26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Judah ni vah, hnopainaw teh amae lah ao tie a panue teh, ahni teh kai hlak atanghnawn toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh ka capa Shelah hane a yu lah ka lat pouh kalawn hoeh toe telah ati. Hahoi Judah ni ahni teh bout ipkhai hoeh toe.
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
Hahoi a vawn a pataw lahun navah, camo im dawk camo samphei roi e ao.
28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand. And the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Camo a khe navah, capa buet touh ni a kut a tâco sak. Camo ka khesakkung ni hetheh a hmaloe ka khe e telah a kut dawk a kuet teh hlangpawi a yeng pouh awh.
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out. And she said, Why have thou made a breach for thyself? Therefore his name was called Perez.
A kut hah bout a kâhno torei teh, pouk laipalah a nawngha hah a khe. Camo ka khe sak e naw ni, bangkongmaw khe na hanelah namahoima na sak, telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Perez telah a phung awh.
30 And afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread upon his hand. And his name was called Zerah.
Hathnukkhu a hmau e a kut dawk hlangpawi yeng e a khe teh a min lah Zerah telah a phung.
