Genesis 38
1 Around this time, Judah left his brothers and set up his tents at Adullam, near to a local man named Hirah.
А у то време догоди се, те Јуда отиде од браће своје и уврати се код неког Одоламејца, коме име беше Ирас.
2 There Judah happened to see the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua and married her. He slept with her,
И онде виде Јуда кћер неког Хананејца, коме име беше Сава, и узе је и леже с њом;
3 and she became pregnant and had a son he named Er.
И она затрудне и роди сина, коме надеде име Ир.
4 She became pregnant again and had a son she named Onan.
И опет затрудневши роди сина, коме надеде име Авнан.
5 Then she had another son she named Shelah who was born in Kezib.
И опет роди сина, и надеде му име Силом; а Јуда беше у Хасви кад она тога роди.
6 Much later, Judah arranged for Er, his firstborn son, to marry a woman named Tamar.
И Јуда ожени првенца свог Ира девојком по имену Тамара.
7 But Er did what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord put him to death.
Али Ир првенац Јудин беше неваљао пред Господом, и уби га Господ.
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.”
А Јуда рече Авнану: Уђи к жени брата свог и ожени се њом на име братово, да подигнеш семе брату свом.
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.
А Авнан, знајући да неће бити његов пород, кад леже са женом брата свог просипаше на земљу, да не роди деце брату свом.
10 But what he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he also put Onan to death.
Али Господу не би мило што чињаше, те уби и њега.
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.
И Јуда рече Тамари снаси својој: Остани удовицом у кући оца свог докле одрасте Силом син мој. Јер говораше: Да не умре и он као браћа му. И отиде Тамара, и живеше у кући оца свог.
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.
А кад прође много времена, умре кћи Савина, жена Јудина. И кад се Јуда утеши, пође у Тамну к људима што му стрижаху овце, сам с Ирасом пријатељем својим Одоламејцем.
13 Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
И јавише Тамари говорећи: Ето свекар твој иде у Тамну да стриже овце своје.
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.
А она скиде са себе удовичко рухо своје, и узе покривало и покри лице, и седе на раскршће на путу који иде у Тамну. Јер виде да је Силом одрастао, а њу још не удаше за њ.
15 Judah saw her and thought she must be a prostitute because she had veiled her face.
А Јуда када виде, помисли да је курва, јер беше покрила лице своје.
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.
Па сврну с пута к њој и рече јој: Пусти да легнем с тобом. Јер није познао да му је снаха. А она рече: Шта ћеш ми дати да легнеш са мном?
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 он рече: Послаћу ти јаре из стада. А она рече: Али да ми даш залог докле га не пошаљеш.
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.
А он рече: Какав залог да ти дам? А она рече: Ето, прстен и рубац, и штап што ти је у руци. И он јој даде, те леже с њом, и она затрудне од њега.
19 She left, went home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothes.
После уставши Тамара отиде и скиде покривало са себе и обуче удовичко рухо.
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 Јуда посла јаре по пријатељу свом Одоламејцу да му донесе натраг од жене залог. Али је он не нађе.
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.
Па питаше људе по оном месту где је она била говорећи: Где је она курва што је била на раскршћу на овом путу? А они рекоше: Није овде било курве.
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 врати се к Јуди и рече: Не нађох је, него још рекоше мештани: Није овде било курве.
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.”
А Јуда рече: Нека јој, да се не срамотимо; ја сам слао јаре, али је ти не нађе.
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.
А кад прође до три месеца дана, јавише Јуди говорећи: Тамара снаха твоја учини прељубу, и ево затрудне од прељубе. А Јуда рече: Изведите је да се спали.
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 кад је поведоше, посла к свекру свом и поручи: С човеком чије је ово затруднела сам. И рече: Тражи чији је овај прстен и рубац и штап.
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.
А Јуда позна и рече: Правија је од мене, јер је не дадох сину свом Силому. И више не леже с њом.
27 When the time came for Tamar to give birth, she was found to be carrying twins.
А кад дође време да роди, а то близанци у утроби њеној.
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 кад се порађаше, једно дете помоли руку, а бабица узе и веза му црвен конац око руке говорећи: Овај је први.
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.
Али он увуче руку, и гле изађе брат његов, а она рече: Како продре? Продирање нека ти буде. И надеше му име Фарес.
30 Then his brother with the scarlet thread on his wrist was born. He was named Zerah.
А после изађе брат му, коме око руке беше црвени конац, и надеше му име Зара.
