Genesis 38
1 Around this time, Judah left his brothers and set up his tents at Adullam, near to a local man named Hirah.
По онова време Юда се отдели от братята си и свърна при един одоламец на име Ира.
2 There Judah happened to see the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua and married her. He slept with her,
И Юда като видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец, на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея.
3 and she became pregnant and had a son he named Er.
И тя зачна и роди син; и той го наименува Ир.
4 She became pregnant again and had a son she named Onan.
И зачна пак и роди син; и тя го наименува Онан.
5 Then she had another son she named Shelah who was born in Kezib.
Пак роди и друг син и го наименува Шела. А Юда беше в Ахдив, когато тя го роди.
6 Much later, Judah arranged for Er, his firstborn son, to marry a woman named Tamar.
След време Юда взе жена за първородния си Ир, на име Тамар.
7 But Er did what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord put him to death.
А Ир, Юдовият първороден, беше нечестив пред Господа; и Господ го уби.
8 Judah told Onan, “Go and sleep with your brother's wife to fulfill the requirements of a brother-in-law to have children on behalf of your brother.”
Тогава рече Юда на Онана: Влез при братовата си жена и извърши към нея длъжността на девер и въздигни потомството на брата си.
9 Onan realized that any children he had wouldn't be his own, so whenever he slept with his brother's wife he made sure she wouldn't become pregnant by withdrawing and spilling his semen on the ground. In this way he prevented any children being born on behalf of his brother.
Но Онан знаеше, че потомството нямаше да бъде негово; затова, когато влизаше при братовата си жена, изливаше семето си на земята, за да не въздигне потомство на брата си.
10 But what he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he also put Onan to death.
А това, което правеше, бе зло пред Господа; затова и него уби.
11 Then Judah told his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Go to your father's house and live there as a widow until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “Maybe he'll die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went and stayed in her father's house.
Тогава, Юда, рече на снаха си Тамар: Живей, като вдовица в бащиния си дом, догде отрасне син ми Шела; защото си думаше: Да не би и той да умре като братята си. И така, Тамар отиде и живя в бащиния си дом.
12 A long time later Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah had finished the time of mourning, he went to visit his sheepshearers at Timnah with his friend Hirah from Adullam.
След дълго време, Юдовата жена, дъщеря на Суя, умря; и като се утеши Юда, отиде, той и приятелят му, одоламецът Ира, при стригачите на овците си в Тамна.
13 Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
И известиха на Тамар, казвайки: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овците си.
14 So she took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, disguising herself. She sat down beside the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. She had realized that even though Shelah had now grown up, nothing had been done about her marrying him.
Тогава тя съблече вдовишките си дрехи, покри се с покривалото си, обви се и седна при кръстопътя на Енаим, който е по пътя за Тамна; защото видя, че порасна Шела, а тя не му бе дадена за жена.
15 Judah saw her and thought she must be a prostitute because she had veiled her face.
А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница: защото беше покрила лицето си.
16 He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “I want to sleep with you.” He didn't know she was his daughter-in-law. “What will you give me if I let you sleep with me?” she asked.
Той, прочее, свърна към нея на пътя и рече: Остави ме, моля, да вляза при тебе; ( защото не позна, че беше снаха му ). И тя рече: Какво ще ми дадеш, за да влезеш при мене?
17 “I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied. “What guarantee will you give me to make sure you'll send it?” she asked.
А той рече: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. И тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, догде го изпратиш?
18 “What guarantee do I have to give you?” he asked. “Your signet seal and its cord, and your walking stick that you're holding,” she replied. He handed them over to her. He slept with her and she became pregnant.
Рече той: Какъв залог да ти дам? И тя каза: Печата си, ширита си и тоягата си, която е в ръката ти. И той й ги даде. И влезе при нея, и тя зачна от него.
19 She left, went home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothes.
После тя стана та си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи.
20 Judah sent his friend Hirah from Adullam with a young goat to get back his belongings he'd left as a guarantee from the woman, but he couldn't find her.
А Юда изпрати ярето, чрез ръката на приятеля си одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената; но той не я намери.
21 Hirah asked the men there, “Where's the cult prostitute that sits by the entrance road to Enaim?” “There's no cult prostitute here,” they answered.
Затова попита хората от онова място, казвайки: Где е блудницата, която беше на пътя при Енаим? А те рекоха: Тука не е имало блудница.
22 Hirah went back to Judah and told him, “I couldn't find her, and the men there said, ‘There's no cult prostitute here.’”
И той се върна при Юда и рече: Не я намерих; още и хората от онова място рекоха: Тук не е имало блудница.
23 “Let her keep what I gave her,” Judah replied. “We'll look ridiculous to people if we go on searching. In any case I did try to send her the young goat as promised but you couldn't find her.”
И рече Юда: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех; ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери.
24 Then about three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has had sex like a prostitute and now as a result she's pregnant!” “Bring her out and burn her to death!” Judah ordered.
Около три месеца подир това, известиха на Юда, казвайки: Снаха ти Тамар блудствува; а още, ето, непразна е от блудството. А Юда рече: Изведете я да се изгори.
25 As she was brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “I'm pregnant by the man who owns these things.” Then she added, “Please look carefully at this signet seal and its cord and walking stick. Who do they belong to?”
А когато я извеждаха, тя изпрати до свекъра си да му кажат: От човека, чиито са тия неща, съм непразна. Рече още: Познай, моля, чии са тия неща - печатът, ширитът и тоягата.
26 Judah recognized them right away and said, “She has honored the law more than I have, because I didn't give her in marriage to my son Shelah.” He didn't sleep with Tamar again.
И Юда ги позна и рече: Тя е по-права от мене, тъй като не я дадох на сина си Шела. И не я позна вече.
27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, she was found to be carrying twins.
И когато дойде времето й да роди, ето, имаше близнета в утробата й.
28 One baby put out his hand, and the midwife tied a scarlet thread around on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”
И като раждаше, едното простря ръка: и бабата взе та върза червен конец на ръката му и каза: Тоя пръв излезе.
29 But then he pulled back his hand and his brother was born, she said, “How did you burst out?” So he was named Perez.
А като дръпна надире ръката си, ето, брат му излезе; и тя рече: Какъв пролом си направи ти? Затова го наименуваха Фарес.
30 Then his brother with the scarlet thread on his wrist was born. He was named Zerah.
После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него наименуваха Зара.
