Genesis 38
1 And at that time Iudah went downe from his brethren, and turned in to a man called Hirah an Adullamite.
Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.
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.
Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj
3 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er.
te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.
4 And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan.
Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.
5 Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him.
Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.
6 Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.
Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.
7 Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.
Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.
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.
Tada reče Juda Onanu: “Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!”
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.
Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.
10 And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.
To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.
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.
Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: “Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela.” Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.
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.
Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.
13 And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe.
Obavijeste Tamaru: “Eno ti je svekar”, rekoše joj, “na putu u Timnu da striže ovce.”
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.
Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.
15 When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face.
Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.
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?
Svrati se on k njoj i reče: “Daj da ti priđem!” Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: “Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?”
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.
“Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada”, odgovori. “Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ.”
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.
A on zapita: “Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?” Ona odgovori: “Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci.” Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.
19 Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment.
Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.
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.
Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.
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.
Upita ljude u mjestu: “Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?” Oni mu odgovore: “Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
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.
Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: “Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
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.
Onda reče Juda: “Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao.”
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.
Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: “Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela.” “Izvedite je”, naredi Juda, “pa neka se spali!”
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.
Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: “Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo.” Još doda: “Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!”
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.
Juda ih prepozna pa reče: “Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu.” Ali više s njom nije imao posla.
27 Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe.
Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.
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.
Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: “Ovaj je izišao prvi.”
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.
Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: “Kakav li proder napravi!” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.
30 And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.
Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
