Genesis 38
1 About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
| و واقع شد در آن زمان که یهودا ازنزد برادران خود رفته، نزد شخصی عدلامی، که حیره نام داشت، مهمان شد. | ۱ |
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
| و درآنجا یهودا، دختر مرد کنعانی را که مسمی به شوعه بود، دید و او را گرفته، بدو درآمد. | ۲ |
3 So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
| پس آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را عیر نام نهاد. | ۳ |
4 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
| وبار دیگر آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را اونان نامید. | ۴ |
5 Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
| و باز هم پسری زاییده، او را شیله نام گذارد. و چون او را زایید، یهودا در کزیب بود. | ۵ |
6 Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
| و یهودا، زنی مسمی به تامار، برای نخست زاده خود عیر گرفت. | ۶ |
7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
| و نخست زاده یهودا، عیر، در نظر خداوند شریر بود، و خداونداو را بمیراند. | ۷ |
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.”
| پس یهودا به اونان گفت: «به زن برادرت درآی، و حق برادر شوهری را بجاآورده، نسلی برای برادر خود پیدا کن.» | ۸ |
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.
| لکن چونکه اونان دانست که آن نسل از آن او نخواهدبود، هنگامی که به زن برادر خود درآمد، بر زمین انزال کرد، تا نسلی برای برادر خود ندهد. | ۹ |
10 What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
| و این کار او در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد، پس او را نیزبمیراند. | ۱۰ |
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.
| و یهودا به عروس خود، تامار گفت: «در خانه پدرت بیوه بنشین تا پسرم شیله بزرگ شود.» زیرا گفت: «مبادا او نیز مثل برادرانش بمیرد.» پس تامار رفته، در خانه پدر خود ماند. | ۱۱ |
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.
| و چون روزها سپری شد، دختر شوعه زن یهودا مرد. و یهودا بعد از تعزیت او با دوست خود حیره عدلامی، نزد پشم‌چینان گله خود، به تمنه آمد. | ۱۲ |
13 When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
| و به تامار خبر داده، گفتند: «اینک پدرشوهرت برای چیدن پشم گله خویش، به تمنه می‌آید.» | ۱۳ |
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.
| پس رخت بیوگی را از خویشتن بیرون کرده، برقعی به رو کشیده، خود را درچادری پوشید، و به دروازه عینایم که در راه تمنه است، بنشست. زیرا که دید شیله بزرگ شده است، و او را به وی به زنی ندادند. | ۱۴ |
15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
| چون یهودااو را بدید، وی را فاحشه پنداشت، زیرا که روی خود را پوشیده بود. | ۱۵ |
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.
| پس از راه به سوی او میل کرده، گفت: «بیا تابه تو درآیم.» زیرا ندانست که عروس اوست. گفت: «مرا چه می‌دهی تا به من درآیی.» | ۱۶ |
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.”
| گفت: «بزغاله‌ای از گله می‌فرستم.» گفت: «آیا گرومی دهی تا بفرستی.» | ۱۷ |
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.
| گفت: «تو را چه گرودهم.» گفت: «مهر و زنار خود را و عصایی که دردست داری.» پس به وی داد، و بدو درآمد، و او ازوی آبستن شد. | ۱۸ |
19 Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
| و برخاسته، برفت. و برقع را ازخود برداشته، رخت بیوگی پوشید. | ۱۹ |
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.
| و یهودا بزغاله را به‌دست دوست عدلامی خود فرستاد، تا گرو را از دست آن زن بگیرد، امااو را نیافت. | ۲۰ |
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.
| و از مردمان آن مکان پرسیده، گفت: «آن فاحشه‌ای که سر راه عینایم نشسته بود، کجاست؟» گفتند: «فاحشه‌ای در اینجا نبود.» | ۲۱ |
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.’”
| پس نزد یهودا برگشته، گفت: «او را نیافتم، ومردمان آن مکان نیز می‌گویند که فاحشه‌ای دراینجا نبود.» | ۲۲ |
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.”
| یهودا گفت: «بگذار برای خودنگاه دارد، مبادا رسوا شویم. اینک بزغاله رافرستادم و تو او را نیافتی.» | ۲۳ |
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!”
| و بعد از سه ماه یهودا را خبر داده، گفتند: «عروس تو تامار، زناکرده است و اینک از زنا نیز آبستن شده.» پس یهودا گفت: «وی را بیرون آرید تا سوخته شود!» | ۲۴ |
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?”
| چون او را بیرون می‌آوردند نزد پدر شوهر خود فرستاده، گفت: «از مالک این چیزها آبستن شده‌ام، و گفت: «تشخیص کن که این مهر و زنار وعصا از آن کیست.» | ۲۵ |
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.
| و یهودا آنها را شناخت، وگفت: «او از من بی‌گناه تر است، زیرا که او را به پسر خود شیله ندادم. و بعد او را دیگر نشناخت. | ۲۶ |
27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
| و چون وقت وضع حملش رسید، اینک توامان در رحمش بودند. | ۲۷ |
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.
| و چون می‌زایید، یکی دست خود را بیرون آورد که در حال قابله ریسمانی قرمز گرفته، بر دستش بست و گفت: «این اول بیرون آمد.» | ۲۸ |
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.
| و دست خود را بازکشید. و اینک برادرش بیرون آمد و قابله گفت: «چگونه شکافتی، این شکاف بر تو باد.» پس او را فارص نام نهاد. | ۲۹ |
30 Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
| بعد از آن برادرش که ریسمان قرمز را بردست داشت بیرون آمد، و او را زارح نامید. | ۳۰ |
