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.

۱ و واقع شد در آن زمان که یهودا ازنزد برادران خود رفته، نزد شخصی عدلامی، که حیره نام داشت، مهمان شد.

2 And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.

۲ و درآنجا یهودا، دختر مرد کنعانی را که مسمی به شوعه بود، دید و او را گرفته، بدو درآمد.

3 And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.

۳ پس آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را عیر نام نهاد.

4 And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.

۴ وبار دیگر آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را اونان نامید.

5 And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.

۵ و باز هم پسری زاییده، او را شیله نام گذارد. و چون او را زایید، یهودا در کزیب بود.

6 And Judas took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.

۶ و یهودا، زنی مسمی به تامار، برای نخست زاده خود عیر گرفت.

7 And Er, the firstborn of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.

۷ و نخست زاده یهودا، عیر، در نظر خداوند شریر بود، و خداونداو را بمیراند.

8 And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your brother.

۸ پس یهودا به اونان گفت: «به زن برادرت درآی، و حق برادر شوهری را بجاآورده، نسلی برای برادر خود پیدا کن.»

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.

۹ 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.

10 And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he killed him also.

۱۰ و این کار او در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد، پس او را نیزبمیراند.

11 And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit you a widow in the house of your 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.

۱۱ 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.

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.

۱۲ 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.

13 And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.

۱۳ و به تامار خبر داده، گفتند: «اینک پدرشوهرت برای چیدن پشم گله خویش، به تمنه می‌آید.»

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.

۱۴ 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.

15 And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.

۱۵ چون یهودااو را بدید، وی را فاحشه پنداشت، زیرا که روی خود را پوشیده بود.

16 And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to you; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What will you give me if you should come in to me?

۱۶ 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.»

17 And he said, I will send you a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if you will give me an earnest, until you send it.

۱۷ گفت: «بزغاله‌ای از گله می‌فرستم.» گفت: «آیا گرومی دهی تا بفرستی.»

18 And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give you? and she said, Your ring, and your bracelet, and the staff in your hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

۱۸ 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.

19 And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

۱۹ و برخاسته، برفت. و برقع را ازخود برداشته، رخت بیوگی پوشید.

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.

۲۰ و یهودا بزغاله را به‌دست دوست عدلامی خود فرستاد، تا گرو را از دست آن زن بگیرد، امااو را نیافت.

21 And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the wayside? and they said, There was no harlot here.

۲۱ و از مردمان آن مکان پرسیده، گفت: «آن فاحشه‌ای که سر راه عینایم نشسته بود، کجاست؟» گفتند: «فاحشه‌ای در اینجا نبود.»

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.

۲۲ پس نزد یهودا برگشته، گفت: «او را نیافتم، ومردمان آن مکان نیز می‌گویند که فاحشه‌ای دراینجا نبود.»

23 And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but you have not found her.

۲۳ یهودا گفت: «بگذار برای خودنگاه دارد، مبادا رسوا شویم. اینک بزغاله رافرستادم و تو او را نیافتی.»

24 And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar your 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.

۲۴ 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!»

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.

۲۵ 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.»

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.

۲۶ 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.

27 And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.

۲۷ و چون وقت وضع حملش رسید، اینک توامان در رحمش بودند.

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.

۲۸ 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.»

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 you? and she called his name, Phares.

۲۹ 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.

30 And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.

۳۰ بعد از آن برادرش که ریسمان قرمز را بردست داشت بیرون آمد، و او را زارح نامید.
