Genesis 38
1 And at that time Iudah went downe from his brethren, and turned in to a man called Hirah an Adullamite.
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Judah teh a hmaunawngha koehoi a cei teh, Adullam tami Hirah koevah ao.
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.
Judah ni haw vah, Kanaan tami Shua canu hah a hmu. Ahni hah a paluen teh a ikhai.
3 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er.
Camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Judah ni a min lah Er a phung.
4 And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. A manu ni a min lah Onan telah a phung.
5 Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him.
Ca tongpa alouke bout a khe teh, a min lah Shelah telah a phung. Hote ca tongpa a khe lahun navah, Judah teh Kezib vah ao.
6 Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.
Judah ni a camin Er hah a yu a paluen pouh teh, a min teh Tamar doeh.
7 Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.
Hateiteh, Judah e camin teh BAWIPA e mithmu vah tamikathout lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA ni ahni teh a thei.
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.
Judah ni Onan koevah, na hmau e yu hah ipkhai nateh, na hmau e cati hah pout hoeh nahanlah sak pouh, telah ati.
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.
Onan ni a canaw hah mae ca lah awm mahoeh tie a panue dawkvah, a hmau e a yu a ikhai navah, a ca khe hoeh nahanlah alawilah atui yout a tâco sak.
10 And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.
A sak e hno ni BAWIPA a lunghawi sak hoeh dawkvah, Onan hai a thei.
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.
Judah ni a langa Tamar koevah, ka capa Shelah heh a cue hoehroukrak na pa im dawk lahmai lah awm ei, telah hoehpawiteh, ahni hai a hmaunaw patetlah a due payon han doeh telah ati. Tamar ni a cei teh a na pa im vah ao.
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.
Atueng moi a ro hnukkhu, Judah e yu Shua canu teh a due. Judah teh a lungpahawi hnukkhu, Timnah kho dawk e tumuen kangawnaw koe vah, amae a hui Adullam tami Hirah hoi reirei a ceitakhang roi.
13 And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe.
A langa Tarmar koevah, na pa teh tu muen ngaw hanelah Timnah vah cei hane a kâcai telah a dei pouh awh.
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.
Ahni ni a lahmainae hni hah a rading teh, a minhmai a ramuknae hoi a kâramuk, a tak a kâyo teh Timnah kho longkha koelah a tahung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Shelah teh a cue eiteh, a na pa ni a yu lah paluen pouh ngai hoeh.
15 When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face.
Judah ni a hmu toteh, a minhmai a kâramuk dawkvah, kâyawt e lah a pouk.
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?
Hottelah hoi lam teng e napui a onae hah a pâtam teh, tho haw pahren lahoi rei ip roi sei telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a langa tie panuek hoeh. Napui ni na ipkhai pawiteh bangmaw na poe han telah ati.
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.
Ahni ni saringhu thung e hmaeca na patawn han telah ati, Hottelah hoi napui ni hot hah na patawn hoehnahlan vah na pâhung hane kawi na poe han na ou, telah ati.
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.
Ahni ni bangmaw ka hung han telah telah ati. Napui ni na min na thutnae, arui hoi na sin e na sonron telah ati. Hottelah hoi a poe teh a ikhai, ahni teh camo a vawn.
19 Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment.
A thaw teh a minhmai ramuknae a hawng teh a lahmainae khohna hah bout a kho.
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.
Judah teh napui koe hung e hno hah a ratang hanelah a hui Adullam koe vah hmaeca hah a patawn. Hateiteh, ahni ni napui hah hmawt hoeh.
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.
Hottelah hoi haw e hmuen koe kaawm e taminaw koe lam teng e Enaim tak ka kâyawt e napui hah nâmaw ao telah a pacei, ahnimouh ni hie hmuen koe tak ka kâyawt e awm hoeh telah ati awh.
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.
Judah koe a ban teh, ahni teh ka hmawt thai hoeh. Haw e Taminaw ni hie hmuen dawk tak ka kâyawt e awm boihoeh telah ati awh, telah ati.
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.
Judah ni lat awh yawkaw naseh, hottelah hoehpawiteh, yeiraipo payon vaih, khenhaw! hmaeca heh na patawn ei, ama na hmawt ka lawn hoeh, telah ati.
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.
Thapa yung pâthum hnukkhu vah ahnimouh ni Judah koe na langa Tamar teh kâyo hloilah cata a phu telah a dei pouh awh. Judah ni alawilah tâcawtkhai awh nateh hmaisawi e lah awm naseh telah ati.
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.
A tâcokhai awh lahun navah, Tamar ni hete hno katawnkung koe hoi nahoehmaw camo ka vawn telah a na pa koe Tami a patoun. Napui ni vah pahren lahoi hete min thutnae hoi arui hoi sonronnaw heh, apie ne, kahawicalah khenhaw! telah ati.
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.
Judah ni vah, hnopainaw teh amae lah ao tie a panue teh, ahni teh kai hlak atanghnawn toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh ka capa Shelah hane a yu lah ka lat pouh kalawn hoeh toe telah ati. Hahoi Judah ni ahni teh bout ipkhai hoeh toe.
27 Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe.
Hahoi a vawn a pataw lahun navah, camo im dawk camo samphei roi e ao.
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.
Camo a khe navah, capa buet touh ni a kut a tâco sak. Camo ka khesakkung ni hetheh a hmaloe ka khe e telah a kut dawk a kuet teh hlangpawi a yeng pouh awh.
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.
A kut hah bout a kâhno torei teh, pouk laipalah a nawngha hah a khe. Camo ka khe sak e naw ni, bangkongmaw khe na hanelah namahoima na sak, telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Perez telah a phung awh.
30 And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.
Hathnukkhu a hmau e a kut dawk hlangpawi yeng e a khe teh a min lah Zerah telah a phung.
