Genesis 38
1 About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.
A u to vrijeme dogodi se, te Juda otide od braæe svoje i uvrati se kod nekoga Odolamejca, kojemu ime bješe Iras.
2 And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.
I ondje vidje Juda kæer nekoga Hananejca, kojemu ime bješe Sava, i uze je i leže s njom;
3 And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.
I ona zatrudnje i rodi sina, kojemu nadjede ime Ir.
4 And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.
I opet zatrudnjevši rodi sina, kojemu nadjede ime Avnan.
5 Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
I opet rodi sina, i nadjede mu ime Silom; a Juda bijaše u Hasvi kad ona toga rodi.
6 Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
I Juda oženi prvenca svojega Ira djevojkom po imenu Tamarom.
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.
Ali Ir prvenac Judin bješe nevaljao pred Gospodom, i ubi ga Gospod.
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.”
A Juda reèe Avnanu: uði k ženi brata svojega i oženi se njom na ime bratovo, da podigneš sjeme bratu svojemu.
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.
A Avnan znajuæi da neæe biti njegov porod, kad lijegaše sa ženom brata svojega prosipaše na zemlju, da ne rodi djece bratu svojemu.
10 And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.
Ali Gospodu ne bi milo što èinjaše, te ubi i njega.
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.
I Juda reèe Tamari snasi svojoj: ostani udovicom u kuæi oca svojega dokle odraste Silom sin moj. Jer govoraše: da ne umre i on kao braæa mu. I otide Tamara, i življaše u kuæi oca svojega.
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.
A kad proðe mnogo vremena, umrije kæi Savina, žena Judina. I kad se Juda utješi, poðe u Tamnu k ljudima što mu strizijahu ovce, sam s Irasom prijateljem svojim Odolamejcem.
13 And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the sheep.
I javiše Tamari govoreæi: eto svekar tvoj ide u Tamnu da striže ovce svoje.
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.
A ona skide sa sebe udovièko ruho svoje, i uze pokrivalo i pokri lice, i sjede na raskršæe na putu koji ide u Tamnu. Jer vidje da je Silom odrastao a nju još ne udaše za nj.
15 And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.
A Juda kad je vidje, pomisli da je kurva, jer bješe pokrila lice svoje.
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?”
Pa svrnu s puta k njoj i reèe joj: pusti da legnem s tobom. Jer nije poznao da mu je snaha. A ona reèe: šta æeš mi dati da legneš sa mnom?
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.”
A on reèe: poslaæu ti jare iz stada. A ona mu reèe: ali da mi daš zalog dokle ga ne pošlješ.
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.
A on reèe: kakav zalog da ti dam? A ona reèe: eto, prsten i rubac, i štap što ti je u ruci. I on joj dade, te leže s njom, i ona zatrudnje od njega.
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.
Poslije ustavši Tamara otide i skide pokrivalo sa sebe i obuèe udovièko ruho.
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,
A Juda posla jare po prijatelju svom Odolamejcu da mu donese natrag od žene zalog. Ali je on ne naðe.
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.”
Pa pitaše ljude po onom mjestu gdje je ona bila govoreæi: gdje je ona kurva što je bila na raskršæu na ovom putu? A oni rekoše: nije ovdje bilo kurve.
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.”
I vrati se k Judi i reèe: ne naðoh je, nego još rekoše mještani: nije ovdje bilo kurve.
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.”
A Juda reèe: neka joj, da se ne sramotimo; ja sam slao jare, ali je ti ne naðe.
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.”
A kad proðe do tri mjeseca dana, javiše Judi govoreæi: Tamara snaha tvoja uèini preljubu, i evo zatrudnje od preljube. A Juda reèe: izvedite je da se spali.
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.”
A kad je povedoše, posla k svekru svojemu i poruèi: s èovjekom èije je ovo zatrudnjela sam. I reèe: traži èiji je ovaj prsten i rubac i štap.
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.
A Juda pozna i reèe: pravija je od mene, jer je ne dadoh sinu svojemu Silomu. I više ne leže s njom.
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,
A kad doðe vrijeme da rodi, a to blizanci u utrobi njezinoj.
28 “This one will go out first.”
I kad se poraðaše, jedno dijete pomoli ruku, a babica uze i veza mu crven konac oko ruke govoreæi: ovaj je prvi.
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.
Ali on uvuèe ruku, i gle izaðe brat njegov, a ona reèe: kako prodrije? prodiranje neka ti bude. I nadješe mu ime Fares.
30 After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.
A poslije izaðe brat mu, kojemu oko ruke bijaše crveni konac, i nadješe mu ime Zara.
