Genesis 38
1 Around this time, Judah left his brothers and set up his tents at Adullam, near to a local man named Hirah.
E aconteceu no mesmo tempo que Judah desceu de entre seus irmãos, e entrou na casa d'um varão de Adullam, cujo nome era Hirah,
2 There Judah happened to see the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua and married her. He slept with her,
E viu Judah ali a filha d'um varão cananeu, cujo nome era Shuah; e tomou-a, e entrou a ella.
3 and she became pregnant and had a son he named Er.
E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Er;
4 She became pregnant again and had a son she named Onan.
E tornou a conceber, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Onan;
5 Then she had another son she named Shelah who was born in Kezib.
E continuou ainda, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Selah; e elle estava em Chezib, quando ella o pariu.
6 Much later, Judah arranged for Er, his firstborn son, to marry a woman named Tamar.
Judah pois tomou uma mulher para Er, o seu primogenito, e o seu nome era Tamar.
7 But Er did what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord put him to death.
Er, porém, o primogenito de Judah, era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que o Senhor o matou.
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.”
Então disse Judah a Onan: Entra á mulher do teu irmão, e casa-te com ella, e suscita semente a teu irmão.
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.
Onan, porém, soube que esta semente não havia de ser para elle; e aconteceu que, quando entrava á mulher de seu irmão, derramava-a na terra, para não dar semente a seu irmão.
10 But what he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he also put Onan to death.
E o que fazia era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que tambem o matou.
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.
Então disse Judah a Tamar sua nóra: Fica-te viuva na casa de teu pae, até que Selah, meu filho, seja grande. Porquanto disse: Para que porventura não morra tambem este, como seus irmãos. Assim foi-se Tamar, e ficou-se na casa de seu pae.
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.
Passando-se pois muitos dias, morreu a filha de Shuah, mulher de Judah; e depois se consolou Judah, e subiu aos tosquiadores das suas ovelhas em Timnah, elle e Hirah seu amigo, o adullamita.
13 Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
E deram aviso a Tamar, dizendo: Eis que o teu sogro sobe a Timnah, a tosquiar as suas ovelhas.
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.
Então ella tirou de sobre si os vestidos da sua viuvez, e cobriu-se com o véu, e envolveu-se, e assentou-se á entrada das duas fontes que estão no caminho de Timnah, porque via que Selah já era grande, e ella lhe não fôra dada por mulher
15 Judah saw her and thought she must be a prostitute because she had veiled her face.
E vendo-a Judah, teve-a por uma prostituta; porque ella tinha coberto o seu rosto.
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.
E apartou-se a ella ao caminho, e disse: Vem, peço-te, deixa-me entrar a ti. Porquanto não sabia que era sua nóra: e ella disse: Que darás, para que entres a mim
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.
E elle disse: Eu te enviarei um cabrito do rebanho. E ella disse: Dás-me penhor até que o envies?
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.
Então elle disse: Que penhor é que te darei? E ella disse: O teu sello, e o teu lenço, e o cajado que está em tua mão. O que elle lhe deu, e entrou a ella, e ella concebeu d'elle.
19 She left, went home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothes.
E ella levantou-se, e foi-se, e tirou de sobre si o seu véu, e vestiu os vestidos da sua viuvez.
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.
E Judah enviou o cabrito por mão do seu amigo o adullamita, para tomar o penhor da mão da mulher, porém não a achou.
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.
E perguntou aos homens d'aquelle logar, dizendo: Onde está a prostituta que estava no caminho junto ás duas fontes? E disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta alguma.
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.’”
E tornou-se a Judah, e disse: Não a achei; e tambem disseram os homens d'aquelle logar: Aqui não esteve prostituta.
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.”
Então disse Judah: Tome-o para si, para que porventura não venhamos em desprezo; eis que tenho enviado este cabrito; mas tu não a achaste.
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.
E aconteceu que, quasi tres mezes depois, deram aviso a Judah, dizendo: Tamar, tua nóra, tem fornicado, e eis que está pejada da fornicação. Então disse Judah: Tirae-a fóra para que seja queimada.
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?”
E tirando-a fóra, ella mandou dizer a seu sogro: Do varão de quem são estas coisas eu concebi. E ella disse mais: Conhece, peço-te, de quem é este sello, e estes lenços e este cajado.
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.
E conheceu-os Judah, e disse: Mais justa é ella do que eu. porquanto não a tenho dado a Selah meu filho. E nunca mais a conheceu.
27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, she was found to be carrying twins.
E aconteceu ao tempo de parir, eis que havia gemeos em seu ventre;
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.”
E aconteceu que, parindo ella, que um poz fóra a mão, e a parteira tomou-a, e atou em sua mão um fio de grã, dizendo: Este saiu primeiro.
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.
Mas aconteceu que, tornando elle a recolher a sua mão, eis que saiu o seu irmão, e ella disse: Como tu tens rompido? sobre ti é a rotura. E chamaram o seu nome Perez;
30 Then his brother with the scarlet thread on his wrist was born. He was named Zerah.
E depois saiu o seu irmão, em cuja mão estava o fio de grã; e chamaram o seu nome Zerah.
