Genesis 38
1 About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
Ie henane zay, nienga amo rahalahi’eo t’Iehodà nitsile mb’ ami’ty nte-Adolame atao Hirà.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
Le nitendreke anak’ampela nte-Kanàne atao Soae t’Iehodà; le nengae’e vaho nimoak’ ama’e.
3 So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
Niaren-dre, nisamak’ anadahy; le natao’e Ere ty añara’e.
4 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Niareñe indraike re nahatoly ana-dahy, le natao’e Onane ty añara’e.
5 Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
Mbe nahatoly ana-dahy indraike re le natao’e Selà ty añara’e. Te Kezibe añe t’ie nahatoly aze.
6 Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Nangala-baly ho a i Ere, tañoloñoloña’ey t’Iehodà; Tamare ty añara’e.
7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
Fe nilo-tserek’ am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà t’i Ere, tañoloñoloña’ Iehodày, vaho navetra’ Iehovà.
8 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.”
Le hoe t’Iehodà amy Onane, Mimoaha amy valin-joke’oy vaho rañaoto, hampitroara’o tariratse ho a i rahalahi’oy.
9 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.
Aa kanao napota’ i Onane te tsy ho aze i tiry zay, le ie nizilik’ amy valin-joke’ey ao, naria’e an-tane ty rompilahia’e, tsy mone hanolo-tariratse aman-drahalahi’e.
10 What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
Tsy ninò’ Iehovà i sata’ey, le navetra’e ka.
11 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.
Aa hoe t’Iehodà amy Tamare vinanto’e, Mitoboha ho ramavoiñe añ’anjomban-drae’o ao ampara’ te añoñ’ay t’i Selà, ie niereñere’e ty hoe: Hera ho simba ka re manahake i zoke’ey. Aa le nimb’eo t’i Tamare nimoneñe añ’anjomban-drae’e añe.
12 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.
Ie roñoñe añe, le nihomake ka ty vali’ Iehodà, anak’ ampela’ i Soae; aa ie nanintsiñe t’Iehodà, le nionjoñe mb’e Timnà mb’amo mpañitsi-bolon’ añondri’eo mb’eo rekets’ i Hirà nte-Adolame rañe’ey.
13 When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
Le nitalilieñ’ amy Tamare ty hoe, Inao, mionjomb’e Timnà ty rae’o hañitsike o añondri’eo.
14 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.
Aa le nafaha’e o lamban-dramavoi’eo, naho nanakon-daharañe an-damba marerarera, naho nifolonkoñe, vaho nitobok’ an-dalam-bei’ i Enaime, amy lala-mb’e Timnày. Toe niisa’e fa ajalahy t’i Selà f’ie tsy nampañengaeñe aze ho vali’e.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Tendrek’ aze t’Iehodà, le natao’e ho tsimirirañe amy t’ie nisaron-doha.
16 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.
Nivike mb’ama’e añ’olo’ i lalañe mb’eo re, nanao ty hoe, Mimetea hiolorako, fe ninofi’e t’ie vinanto ampela’e. Hoe re, Ino ty anangea’o ahy, hiharoa’o?
17 “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.”
Hoe ty natoi’e, Hampisangitrifeko vi’e boak’ amy lia-raikey. Le hoe re, Tsy ho mea’o tsoake hey hao ampara’ te hahitri’o?
18 “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.
Hoe re, Tsoake manao akore ty hatoloko azo? Natoi’e ty hoe, O bangem-pitombo’oo naho i tali’oy vaho o kobaiñe am-pità’oo. Aa le natolo’e aze, naho niolots’ ama’e; vaho nampiareñe’e.
19 Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
Niongake re, nienga; le nafaha’e i marerareray, vaho naombe’e indraike o lamban-dramavoi’eo.
20 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.
Nampihitrife’ Iehodà am-pità’ i nte-Adolame rañe’ey ty vi’e, hañavake i tsoak’ an-taña’ i rakembaiy, f’ie tsy nirendreke.
21 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.
Aa le nañontanea’e ondaty amy toetseio ty hoe, Aia i tsimiriran-kazomanga te Enaime tañ’ olon-dalañey? le hoe iereo, Tsy aman-tsimiriran-kazomanga ty atoy.
22 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.’”
Aa le nibalike mb’ am’ Iehodà añe re nitalily ty hoe: Tsy nirendreko, vaho nanao ty hoe amako ondaty an-drova ao, Tsy aman-tsimiriran-kazomanga ty atoy.
23 “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.”
Hoe ty natoi’ Iehodà, Angao rambese’e ho ama’e i raha rezay tsy mone hiankahafañe; hehe te nampihitrifeko mb’ama’e ty vi’e f’ie tsy nioni’o.
24 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!”
Ie añe ty telo volañe, le natalily am’ Iehodà ty hoe, Nañarapilo t’i Tamare vinanto’oy, ie mivesatse ty amy hatsimirira’ey. Le hoe t’Iehodà, Akaro re ho forototoeñe.
25 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?”
Ie nakareñe, le nañitrifa’e saontsy i rafoza’ey, ami’ty hoe, Ty tompo’ o raha rezao ro nampivesatse ahiko. Natovo’e ty hoe, Ehe hotsohotso hey, ia ty tompo’ o bange-pitombokeo, o talio, vaho o kobaiñeo?
26 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.
Niantofa’ Iehodà i raha rey vaho nanao ty hoe, Mahity te amako re amy te tsy natoloko aze i Selà anakoy. Fe tsy niolora’e ka.
27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
Tondroke amy fisamaha’e te inay, hambañe ty an-kovi’e ao.
28 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.
Aa ie nitsongo, nakare’ ty raike ty taña’e vaho finehe’ i mpanahay fole mena i tañañey le nanao ty hoe, Itoy ty niakatse valoha’e.
29 But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
Aa ie nanintoñe i taña’ey, le hehe te nipotitse eo ty zai’e, vaho hoe re, Akore ty niboroboñafa’o? ho ama’o o jebañe zao. Aa le natao ty hoe Perètse ty añara’e.
30 Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
Niboake nandimbe aze i rahalahi’ey ninday i fole menay an-taña’ey, le natao Zeràke ty añara’e.
