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.

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

2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; 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 he called his name Er.

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

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

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

5 And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.

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

6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

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

7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.

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

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.

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

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.

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 the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.

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

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.

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 Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.

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

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?

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 [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?

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

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.

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 went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

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

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.

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 her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute 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 Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.

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

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.

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 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.

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 afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.

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