Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.
2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj
3 And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.
4 And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.
5 And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Tada reče Juda Onanu: “Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!”
9 But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.
11 And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: “Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela.” Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.
12 And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
Obavijeste Tamaru: “Eno ti je svekar”, rekoše joj, “na putu u Timnu da striže ovce.”
14 And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.
15 And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.
16 And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?
Svrati se on k njoj i reče: “Daj da ti priđem!” Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: “Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?”
17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?
“Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada”, odgovori. “Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ.”
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.
A on zapita: “Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?” Ona odgovori: “Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci.” Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.
19 And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.
21 And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.
Upita ljude u mjestu: “Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?” Oni mu odgovore: “Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.
Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: “Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
23 Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Onda reče Juda: “Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao.”
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: “Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela.” “Izvedite je”, naredi Juda, “pa neka se spali!”
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: “Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo.” Još doda: “Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!”
26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Juda ih prepozna pa reče: “Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu.” Ali više s njom nije imao posla.
27 And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.
28 And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: “Ovaj je izišao prvi.”
29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: “Kakav li proder napravi!” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.
30 And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
