Genesis 38
1 About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.
Ie henane zay, nienga amo rahalahi’eo t’Iehodà nitsile mb’ ami’ty nte-Adolame atao Hirà.
2 And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.
Le nitendreke anak’ampela nte-Kanàne atao Soae t’Iehodà; le nengae’e vaho nimoak’ ama’e.
3 And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.
Niaren-dre, nisamak’ anadahy; le natao’e Ere ty añara’e.
4 And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.
Niareñe indraike re nahatoly ana-dahy, le natao’e Onane ty añara’e.
5 Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
Mbe nahatoly ana-dahy indraike re le natao’e Selà ty añara’e. Te Kezibe añe t’ie nahatoly aze.
6 Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
Nangala-baly ho a i Ere, tañoloñoloña’ey t’Iehodà; Tamare ty añara’e.
7 And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.
Fe nilo-tserek’ am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà t’i Ere, tañoloñoloña’ Iehodày, vaho navetra’ Iehovà.
8 Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.”
Le hoe t’Iehodà amy Onane, Mimoaha amy valin-joke’oy vaho rañaoto, hampitroara’o tariratse ho a i rahalahi’oy.
9 He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
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 And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.
Tsy ninò’ Iehovà i sata’ey, le navetra’e ka.
11 Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived 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 Then, after many days had passed, the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. And when he accepted consolation after his mourning, he went up to the shearers of his sheep at Timnah, he and Hirah, the herdsman of the Adullamite flock.
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 And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the sheep.
Le nitalilieñ’ amy Tamare ty hoe, Inao, mionjomb’e Timnà ty rae’o hañitsike o añondri’eo.
14 And storing away the garments of her widowhood, she took up a veil. And changing her clothing, she sat at the crossroad that leads to Timnah, because Shelah had grown up, and she had not received him as a husband.
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 And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.
Tendrek’ aze t’Iehodà, le natao’e ho tsimirirañe amy t’ie nisaron-doha.
16 And entering to her, he said, “Permit me to join with you.” For he did not know her to be his daughter-in-law. And she responded, “What will you give to me, to enjoy me as a concubine?”
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 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And again, she said, “I will allow what you want, if you give me a pledge, until you may send what you promise.”
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 Judah said, “What do you want to be given for a pledge?” She responded, “Your ring and bracelet, and the staff that you hold in your hand.” Thereupon, the woman, from one sexual encounter, conceived.
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 And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.
Niongake re, nienga; le nafaha’e i marerareray, vaho naombe’e indraike o lamban-dramavoi’eo.
20 Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found 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 questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”
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 He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”
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 Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did 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 And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”
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 But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”
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 But he, acknowledging the gifts, said: “She is more just than I am. For I did not deliver her to my son Shelah.” However, he knew her no more.
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 Then, at the moment of birth, there appeared twins in the womb. And so, in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, on which the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying,
Tondroke amy fisamaha’e te inay, hambañe ty an-kovi’e ao.
28 “This one will go out first.”
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 in truth, drawing back his hand, the other came out. And the woman said, “Why is the partition divided for you?” And for this reason, she called his name 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 After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.
Niboake nandimbe aze i rahalahi’ey ninday i fole menay an-taña’ey, le natao Zeràke ty añara’e.
