Genesis 38
1 And at that time Iudah went downe from his brethren, and turned in to a man called Hirah an Adullamite.
Hnin at vaengah tah Judah te a manuca rhoek taeng lamkah suntla tih Adullami hlang, a ming te Hirah taengah pah.
2 And Iudah sawe there the daughter of a man called Suah a Canaanite: and he tooke her to wife, and went in vnto her.
Te vaengah Judah loh Kanaan hoel nu, a ming ah Shua a hmuh hatah pahoi a loh tih a ih puei.
3 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er.
Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun vaengah a ming te Er a sak.
4 And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih ca a cun hatah a ming te Onan a sak.
5 Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him.
Te phoeiah a rhaep bal tih capa a cun hatah a ming te Shelah a sak. Tedae Shelah a cun vaengah Kezib ah om.
6 Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.
Te phoeiah Judah loh a caming Er ham yuu a loh pah tih anih ming tah Tamar ni.
7 Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.
Tedae Judah kah a caming Er tah BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah boethae la a om dongah anih te BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
8 Then Iudah said to Onan, Goe in vnto thy brothers wife, and do the office of a kinsman vnto her, and raise vp seede vnto thy brother.
Te dongah Judah loh Onan la, “Na maya yuu taengah kun lamtah anih te yucanah. Te phoeiah na maya ham a tii a ngan thoh pah,” a ti nah.
9 And Onan knewe that the seede should not be his: therefore when he went in vnto his brothers wife, he spilled it on the grounde, least he should giue seede vnto his brother.
Tedae a tii a ngan te amah ham om hae mahpawh tila Onan loh a ming dongah, a maya yurho taengah a ih vaengah khaw diklai ah vik a san tih a maya ham tiingan khueh pah pawh.
10 And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.
Anih kah a saii te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a lolh bal dongah anih khaw BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
11 Then said Iudah to Tamar his daughter in lawe, Remaine a widowe in thy fathers house, till Shelah my sonne growe vp (for he thought thus, Least he die as well as his brethren.) So Tamar went and dwelt in her fathers house.
Te vaengah Shelah khaw a maya rhoi bangla duek ve a ti. Te dongah Judah loh a langa Tamar la, “Ka capa Shelah a pantai hil tah na pa im ah nuhmai la khosa mai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Tamar khaw cet tih a napa im ah kho a sak.
12 And in processe of time also the daughter of Shuah Iudahs wife dyed. Then Iudah, when he had left mourning, went vp to his sheepe sherers to Timnah, he, and his neighbour Hirah the Adullamite.
Tedae kum a yet phoeiah tah Judah yuu Shua nu te duek. Te dongah Judah khaw hal tih a tu mul aka vo neh a hui Adullami Hirah taengah Timnah la cet.
13 And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe.
Te dongah, “Tu mul vok ham Timnah la na marhang cet hang ke,” a ti na tih Tamar taengla a puen pah.
14 Then she put her widowes garments off from her, and couered her with a vaile, and wrapped her selfe, and sate downe in Pethah-enaim, which is by the way to Timnah, because she sawe that Shelah was growen, and she was not giuen vnto him to wife.
Te vaengah Shelah khaw ham coeng dae anih yuu la n'khueh moenih tila Tamar loh a hmuh dongah amah dongkah nuhmai himbai te a dul. Te phoeiah hnii a yil, muei a thuh tih Timnah long kah Enaim thohka ah ngol.
15 When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face.
Tedae anih te Judah loh a hmuh vaengah a hmai a dah dongah pumyoi ni tila a poek.
16 And he turned to the way towardes her, and saide, Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee. (for he knewe not that she was his daughter in lawe) And she answered, What wilt thou giue me for to lie with me?
Anih te amah langa la a ming pawt dongah long taengla anih taengah pah tih, “Halo, nang taengah ka ip ni ne,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai taengah na kun te kai ham balae na khueh eh,” a ti nah.
17 Then said he, I will sende thee a kid of the goates from the flocke. and she said, Well, if thou wilt giue me a pledge, till thou sende it.
Te vaengah Judah loh, “Kamah loh boiva khuikah maae ca kan pat bit ni,” a ti nah. Tedae Tamar loh, “Nan pat hlanah hnohol han khueh dae,” a ti nah.
18 Then he saide, What is the pledge that I shall giue thee? And she answered, Thy signet, and thy cloke, and thy staffe that is in thine hande. So he gaue it her, and lay by her, and she was with childe by him.
Te dongah, “Hnohol te balae nang taengah kan paek eh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na kutbuen mai khaw, hamnak khaw, na kut kah conghol mai te khaw,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te a paek tih a kun thil dongah Judah loh Tamar a vawn sak.
19 Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment.
Te phoeiah thoo tih, cet tih a pum dongkah hnii te a dul phoeiah nuhmai himbai tloep a bai.
20 Afterwarde Iudah sent a kid of the goates by the hande of his neighbour the Adullamite, for to receiue his pledge from the womans hand: but he found her not.
Te dongah huta kut kah hnohol te tlan ham Judah loh a hui Adullami hoel kut ah maae ca te a pat van hatah rhawp hmu pawh.
21 Then asked he the men of that place, saying, Where is ye whore, that sate in Enaim by the way side? And they answered, There was no whore here.
Te dongah te hmuen kah hlang rhoek te a dawt, “Enaim long taengkah hlanghalh te melae?” a ti nah vaengah, “He rhoek ah hlanghalh om pawh,” a ti na uh.
22 He came therefore to Iudah againe, and said, I can not finde her, and also the men of the place said, There was no whore there.
Te dongah Judah taengla koep bal tih, “Anih te ka hmuh moenih. Te phoeiah he hmuen kah hlang rhoek long khaw, ‘He rhoek ah hlanghalh a om moenih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
23 Then Iudah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: beholde, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Te dongah Judah loh, “Amah neh amah te khoem uh saeh, nueihbu la n'om uh ve. Maae ca n'thak he khaw anih te na hmuh voel pawt tih he,” a ti nah.
24 Now after three moneths, one tolde Iudah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the whore, and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with childe. Then Iudah saide, Bring ye her foorth and let her be burnt.
Tedae hla thum tluk a lo vaengah Judah taengah, “Nang langa Tamar te cukhalh tih pumyoihnah neh vawn lah ko te,” a ti nah tih a puen pa uh hatah Judah loh, “Anih te khuen uh lamtah hoeh,” a ti nah.
25 When she was brought foorth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, vnto whom these things pertaine, am I with childe: and saide also, Looke, I pray thee, whose these are, the seale, and the cloke, and the staffe.
Anih te a mawt uh van hatah, “He rhoek he u hlang kah nim. Kai khaw tekah hlang hut la ka vawn dongah hekah kutnoek, hamnak neh conghol, ukah nim tila hmat lah saeh,” a ti nah tih a marhang taengla Tamar loh a pat.
26 Then Iudah knewe them, and said, She is more righteous then I: for she hath done it because I gaue her not to Shelah my sonne. So he lay with her no more.
Tedae Judah loh a hmat vaengah, “Ka capa Shelah te anih ka paek pawt dongah te kai lakah anih tang coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming ham koep khoep voel pawh.
27 Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe.
Tedae ca-om tue vaengah tah a bung khuiah caphae rhoi la tarha om.
28 And when she was in trauell, the one put out his hand: and the midwife tooke and bound a red threde about his hand, saying, This is come out first.
Te dongah camoe a om vaengah kut pakhat te han thawt dongah ca-om loh a tuuk tih, a kut dongah a lingdik a cin pah tih, “Lamhma la om coeng he,” a ti.
29 But when he plucked his hand backe againe, loe, his brother came out, and the midwife said, How hast thou broken the breach vpon thee? and his name was called Pharez.
Tedae a kut vik a yueh tih a mana lat ha thoeng dongah, “Namah loh a puut metlamlae nam va,” a ti nah dongah a ming te Perez a sak.
30 And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.
Te phoeiah a kut dongah a lingdik aka om a maya te ha pawk tih a ming te Zerah a sak.
