Genesis 38

1 About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.

Pripetilo se je ob tistem času, da je Juda šel dol od svojih bratov in vstopil k nekemu Adulámcu, katerega ime je bilo Hirá.

2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.

Juda je tam videl hčer nekega Kánaanca, katerega ime je bilo Šua in vzel jo je ter šel noter k njej.

3 So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.

Ta je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Er.

4 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

Ponovno je spočela ter rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Onán.

5 Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.

Spet je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Šelá. Bil je pri Kezíbu, ko ga je rodila.

6 Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

Juda je vzel ženo za svojega prvorojenca Era, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara.

7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

Judov prvorojenec Er pa je bil zloben v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod ga je usmrtil.

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.”

Juda je rekel Onánu: »Pojdi noter k ženi svojega brata in jo poroči ter svojemu bratu obudi potomca.«

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.

Onán pa je vedel, da potomec ne bo njegov in pripetilo se je, ko je šel noter k ženi svojega brata, da je to izlil na tla, da svojemu bratu ne bi dal potomca.

10 What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.

Stvar, ki jo je storil, je razžalila Gospoda, zaradi česar je tudi njega usmrtil.

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.

Potem je Juda rekel svoji snahi Tamari: »Ostani vdova, v hiši svojega očeta, dokler moj sin Šelá ne odraste, « kajti rekel je: »Da ne bi morda tudi on umrl, kakor sta njegova brata.« Tamara je odšla in prebivala v hiši svojega očeta.

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.

Tekom časa je Šuova hči, Judova žena, umrla in Juda je bil potolažen in se dvignil k svojim strižcem ovc v Timno, on in njegov prijatelj Adulámec Hirá.

13 When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”

To je bilo povedano Tamari, rekoč: »Glej, tvoj tast gre v Timno, da ostriže svoje ovce.«

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.

Iz sebe je odložila svoje vdovske obleke, se pokrila z zagrinjalom, se ogrnila in sedla na odprt kraj, ki je na poti v Timno, kajti videla je, da je Šelá odrastel, pa mu ni bila dana za ženo.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

Ko jo je Juda zagledal, je mislil, da je pocestnica, ker je imela svoj obraz zakrit.

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.

Na poti se je obrnil k njej in rekel: »Daj, prosim te, naj pridem noter vate, « (kajti ni vedel, da je bila njegova snaha.) Ona pa je rekla: »Kaj mi hočeš dati, da lahko prideš vame?«

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.”

Rekel je: »Poslal ti bom kozlička od tropa.« Rekla je: »Ali mi boš dal jamstvo, dokler ga ne pošlješ?«

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.

Rekel je: »Kakšno jamstvo naj ti dam?« Rekla je: »Svoj pečat in svoje okrasne vrvice in svojo palico, ki je v tvoji roki.« To ji je dal in prišel noter vanjo in ta je spočela z njim.

19 Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.

Vstala je ter odšla proč in poleg sebe položila svoje zagrinjalo iz sebe in si nadela obleke svojega vdovstva.

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.

Juda je poslal kozlička po roki svojega prijatelja Adulámca, da prejme svoje jamstvo iz roke ženske, toda ta je ni našel.

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.

Potem je vprašal ljudi tega kraja, rekoč: »Kje je pocestnica, ki je bila javno poleg poti?« Rekli so: »Na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«

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.’”

Vrnil se je k Judu in rekel: »Ne morem je najti in tudi ljudje tega kraja so rekli, da na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«

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.”

Juda je rekel: »Naj si ona to vzame k sebi, da ne bova osramočena. Glej, poslal sem tega kozlička, ti pa je nisi našel.«

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!”

Pripetilo se je približno tri mesece kasneje, da je bilo Judu povedano, rekoč: »Tvoja snaha Tamara je igrala pocestnico in prav tako poglej, ona je z otrokom od vlačugarstva.« Juda je rekel: »Privedite jo naprej in naj bo sežgana.«

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?”

Ko je bila privedena naprej, je poslala k svojemu tastu, rekoč: »Po moškem, čigar [last] je to, sem z otrokom.« Rekla je: »Razpoznaj, prosim te, čigav je ta pečat, okrasne vrvice in palica.«

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.

Juda jim je priznal in rekel: »Bolj pravična je bila kakor jaz, zato ker je nisem dal svojemu sinu Šeláju.« In ni je več ponovno spoznal.

27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

Pripetilo pa se je v času njenih porodnih muk, glej, da sta bila v njeni maternici dvojčka.

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.

Ko je bila v porodnih mukah se je pripetilo, da je eden iztegnil svojo roko in babica je prijela ter na njegovo roko privezala škrlatno nit, rekoč: »Ta je prvi prišel ven.«

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.

Pripetilo pa se je, ko je svojo roko potegnil nazaj, glej, je prišel ven njegov brat. Rekla je: »Kako si izbruhnil? Ta prodor bodi na tebi.« Zato je bilo njegovo ime imenovano Parec.

30 Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.

Nato je prišel ven njegov brat, ki je imel na svoji roki škrlatno nit in njegovo ime je bilo imenovano Zerah.
