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.
Nzokande na tango wana, Yuda atikaki bandeko na ye mpe akendeki kovanda epai ya Ira, moto ya Adulami.
2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
Yuda akutanaki kuna na mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, moto ya Kanana. Abalaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
3 And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
Mwasi yango akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Yuda mwana mobali. Mpe Yuda apesaki ye kombo « Eri. »
4 And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
Mwasi yango azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali; apesaki ye kombo « Onani. »
5 And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
Abotaki mwana mobali mosusu mpe apesaki ye kombo « Shela. » Yuda azalaki na Kezibi tango mwasi na ye abotaki mwana ya misato.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Yuda abalelaki Eri, mwana na ye ya liboso, mwasi: Tamari.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
Kasi Eri, mwana liboso ya Yuda, azalaki moto mabe na miso ya Yawe; yango wana Yawe abomaki ye.
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.
Bongo Yuda alobaki na Onani: « Sangisa nzoto na semeki na yo mpo ete obota bana mpo na ndeko na yo ya mobali oyo akufa. »
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.
Kasi lokola Onani ayebaki ete bana oyo bakobotama bakozala ya ye te, azalaki kobwaka mayi na ye ya mibali na mabele tango nyonso azalaki kosangisa nzoto na semeki na ye, mpo ete abotela ndeko na ye ya mobali bana te.
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
Likambo oyo Onani azalaki kosala ezalaki kosepelisa Yawe te. Boye ye mpe lisusu, Yawe abomaki ye.
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.
Yuda alobaki na Tamari, bokilo na ye ya mwasi: « Lokola okufisi mibali, kende kovanda na ndako ya tata na yo kino Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali, akokoma mokolo. » Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Tango mosusu ye mpe akoki kokufa lokola bandeko na ye ya mibali. » Boye Tamari akendeki kovanda na ndako ya tata na ye.
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.
Sima na tango molayi, mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, mwasi ya Yuda, akufaki. Lokola tango na ye ya matanga esilaki, Yuda akendeki na Timina epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye. Boye, moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, akendeki elongo na ye.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
Tango bayebisaki Tamari: « Bokilo na yo ya mobali azali kokende na Timina mpo na kolongolisa bapwale ya bameme na ye, »
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.
alongolaki bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali mpe amizipaki elongi na vwale mpo ete bayeba ye lisusu te. Avandaki na ekuke ya Enayimi oyo ezalaki na nzela ya Timina, pamba te amonaki ete Shela akolaki, kasi bapesaki ye te na libala epai ya Shela.
15 And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
Tango Yuda amonaki ye, akanisaki ete azali mwasi ya ndumba, pamba te azipaki elongi na ye.
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?
Lokola Yuda ayebaki te ete ezali bokilo na ye ya mwasi, apusanaki na esika oyo azalaki, pembeni ya nzela, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, ndima ete tosangisa na yo nzoto. Tamari atunaki: — Okopesa ngai nini soki osangisi na ngai nzoto?
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?
Yuda azongisaki: — Nakotindela yo mwana ntaba oyo nakozwa na etonga na ngai. Tamari atunaki lisusu: — Ndanga nini okosimbisa ngai kino tango okotindela ngai yango?
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.
Yuda alobaki: — Ndanga nini olingi ete nasimbisa yo? Tamari azongisaki: — Lopete na yo, singa na yo mpe lingenda na yo, oyo osimbi na loboko. Boye Yuda apesaki ye yango, asangisaki na ye nzoto mpe Tamari akomaki na zemi.
19 And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamari atelemaki mpe akendeki; alongolaki vwale na ye mpe azongisaki lisusu na nzoto bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali.
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.
Boye Yuda atindaki moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, mpo ete amemela mwasi yango mwana ntaba mpe azwa ndanga oyo asimbisaki ye. Kasi Ira amonaki ye te.
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.
Boye atunaki epai ya bavandi ya esika wana, na Enayimi: — Wapi mwasi ya ndumba oyo azalaki na nzela, na Enayimi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Esika oyo etikala kozala na mwasi ya ndumba te.
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.
Ira azongaki epai ya Yuda mpe ayebisaki ye: — Namoni ye te; kutu bavandi ya Enayimi bayebisi ngai ete mwasi ya ndumba atikala kozala na esika wana te.
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.
Yuda alobaki: — Atikala na biloko oyo azwaki, noki te tokobima babolole. Ngai nazali na likambo te; natindeli ye mwana ntaba, mpe yo omoni ye te.
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.
Sima na sanza misato, bayebisaki Yuda: — Tamari, bokilo na yo ya mwasi, asalaki kindumba, mpe tala kutu akomi na zemi. Yuda alobaki: — Babimisa ye mpe batumba ye na moto!
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.
Wana bazalaki kobimisa ye libanda, Tamari atindaki sango oyo epai ya Yuda, bokilo na ye: — Nazali na zemi ya nkolo biloko oyo. Mpe abakisaki: — Tala soki okoki koyeba nani azali nkolo ya lopete oyo, ya singa oyo mpe ya lingenda oyo.
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.
Yuda asosolaki ete ezali biloko na ye mpe alobaki: — Azali sembo koleka ngai, pamba te nabalisaki ye te epai ya Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali. Boye Yuda atikalaki lisusu te kosangisa na ye nzoto.
27 And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, emonanaki ete ezalaki na mapasa mibale ya mibali kati na libumu na ye.
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.
Na tango ya kobota, moko kati na bango abimisaki loboko; mpe mwasi oyo abotisaka asimbaki loboko yango, akangaki yango singa ya motane mpe alobaki: « Mwana oyo nde abimi liboso. »
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.
Kasi azongisaki loboko na ye, mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali abimaki. Bongo mwasi oyo abotisaka alobaki: « Ofungoli nzela nini mpo na kobima? » Mpe bapesaki ye kombo « Peretsi. »
30 And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
Sima, ndeko na ye oyo azalaki na singa ya motane na loboko mpe abotamaki; bapesaki ye kombo « Zera. »
