Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Joda dia nidina niala teo amin’ ny rahalahiny ka lasa nanatona ny lehilahy Adolamita anankiray. Hira no anarany.
2 And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
Ary teo no nahitan’ i Joda ny zanakavavin’ i Soa, lehilahy Kananita anankiray; dia naka azy izy ka nanambady azy.
3 And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Era.
4 And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Onana.
5 And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray koa izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Sela; ary Joda nitoetra tany Keziba tamin’ ny niterahan’ ny vadiny an’ i Sela.
6 And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
Ary Joda naka vady ho an’ i Era lahimatoany, Tamara no anarany.
7 And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
Fa ratsy fanahy teo imason’ i Jehovah Era, lahimatoan’ i Joda; dia novonoin’ i Jehovah izy.
8 And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Onana: Vadio ny vadin’ ny rahalahinao, ka ento loloha izy, dia velomy maso ny rahalahinao.
9 And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
Ary fantatr’ i Onana fa tsy ho azy tsinona ny zaza; koa raha nandry tamin’ ny vadin’ ny rahalahiny izy, dia nandraraka tamin’ ny tany mba tsy hiterahany zanaka ho an’ ny rahalahiny.
10 And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
Ary ratsy teo imason’ i Jehovah izay nataony; ka dia novonoiny koa izy.
11 And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Tamara vinantoni-vavy: Tomoera ho mpitondratena ao an-tranon-drainao mandra-pahalehiben’ i Sela zanako-lahy (fa hoy izy: Fandrao maty koa tahaka ny rahalahiny izy); dia nandeha Tamara ka nitoetra tao an-tranon-drainy.
12 And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
Ary rehefa ela, dia maty ny vadin’ i Joda, dia ilay zanakavavin’ i Soa; ary rehefa nionona ny alahelon’ i Joda, dia niakatra tany amin’ ny mpanety ondriny tany Timna izy sy Hira Adolamita sakaizany.
13 And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
Dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Tamara hoe Indro, ny rafozanao miakatra ho any Timna hanety ny ondriny.
14 And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
Ary nanaisotra ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena izy, dia nisarona fisalobonana ka nisalobona, dia nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Enaima, izay eo amin’ ny lalana mankany Timna; satria efa hitan’ i Tamara fa efa lehibe Sela, nefa tsy mbola nomen’ i Joda ho vadin’ i Sela izy.
15 And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
Ary hitan’ i Joda izy ka nataony fa vehivavy janga, satria efa nanarona ny tavany izy.
16 And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
Dia nivily nanatona azy teo amoron-dalana Joda ka nanao hoe: Aoka mba handry aminao aho (fa tsy fantany ho vinantony izy); dia hoy kosa ravehivavy: Inona ary no homenao ahy, raha handry amiko ianao?
17 And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
Dia hoy izy: Hampanatitra zanak’ osy avy amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy aho. Fa hoy kosa ravehivavy: Hanome fampitanana va ianao mandra-pampanatitrao azy?
18 And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Ary hoy izy: Inona no fampitanana homeko anao? Ary hoy ravehivavy: Ny fanombohan-kasenao sy ny kofehinao ary iny tehinao eny an-tananao iny. Ary nomeny azy ireny, dia nandry taminy izy, ka nanan’ anaka taminy ravehivavy.
19 And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Ary niainga ravehivavy ka lasa nandeha, dia nanala ny fisalobonana izay notafiny ka niakanjo ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena indray.
20 And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
Dia nampitondrain’ i Joda ilay Adolamita sakaizany ny zanak’ osy, hangalany ilay fampitanana amin-dravehivavy; kanjo tsy hitany izy.
21 And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
Dia nanontany ny olona teo amin’ ny fonenan-dravehivavy izy ka nanao hoe: Aiza moa ilay vehivavy janga izay tamoron-dalana teo Enaima? Fa hoy ny olona: Tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
22 And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
Dia niverina tany amin’ i Joda izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy nahita azy aho; ary nolazain’ ny olona tompon-tany fa tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
23 And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
Dia hoy Joda: Aoka ho lasany ho azy, fandrao ho afa-baraka isika; indro, efa nampanateriko ity zanak’ osy ity, nefa ianao tsy nahita an-dravehivavy.
24 And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
Ary rehefa afaka tokony ho telo volana, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Joda hoe: Efa nijangajanga Tamara vinantovavinao; ka indro, efa manan’ anaka tamin’ ny fijangajangana izy. Dia hoy Joda: Avoahy izy hodorana.
25 And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
Ary rehefa navoaka izy, dia naniraka tany amin’ ny rafozany ka nanao hoe: Ny lehilahy izay tompon’ ireto no nananako anaka; ary hoy koa izy: Masìna ianao, fantaro izay tompon’ ireto fanombohan-kase sy kofehy ary tehina ireto.
26 And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
Dia nahafantatra ireo Joda ka nanao hoe: Marina noho izaho izy, satria tsy nomeko ho vadin’ i Sela zanako. Dia tsy nandry taminy intsony izy.
27 And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
Ary tamin’ ny andro niterahany, indro, nisy zaza kambana tao an-kibony.
28 And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
Ary raha niteraka izy, dia niseho ny tanan’ ny anankiray, ary naka kofehy mena ny mpampivelona, ka nafehiny tamin’ ny tànany, sady hoy izy: Ity no niseho voalohany.
29 And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
Ary rehefa nahemony ny tànany, dia, indro, teraka ny rahalahiny; ary hoy ny mpampivelona: Ahoana no nibosesehanao? dia nataony hoe Fareza no anarany.
30 And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia teraka koa ny rahalahiny, izay nisy ilay kofehy mena tamin’ ny tànany; dia nataony hoe Zera no anarany.
