Genesis 38
1 And at that time Iudah went downe from his brethren, and turned in to a man called Hirah an Adullamite.
Lè sa a, Jida kite frè l' yo, li al jwenn Ira, yon nonm lavil Adoulam.
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.
Antan li la, li wè yon fi. Papa fi a te yon moun peyi Kanaran yo te rele Chwa. Jida marye ak fi a, li kouche avè l'.
3 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er.
Madanm lan vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Jida rele pitit la Er.
4 And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan.
Madanm lan vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt pitit gason, yo rele l' Onan.
5 Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him.
Li fè yon lòt pitit gason ankò, yo rele l' Chela. Jida te lavil Kezib lè madanm li fè Chela.
6 Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.
Jida chwazi yon fi yo rele Tama pou Er, premye pitit gason l' lan.
7 Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.
Men Er, premye pitit Jida a, pa t' fè Seyè a plezi paske li te twò mechan. Se konsa Seyè a te fè l' mouri.
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.
Lè sa a, Jida di Onan: -Ale jwenn madanm frè ou la, kouche avè l'. Se devwa ou, paske ou se frè mari l' ki mouri. Konsa, w'a fè yon pitit pou frè ou pou non li pa pèdi.
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.
Men Onan te konnen pitit la pa t'ap pou li. Se konsa, chak fwa li kouche ak madanm frè li a, li voye atè pou li pa t' fè pitit pou frè li a.
10 And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.
Sa l' t'ap fè a pa t' fè Seyè a plezi. Se konsa Seyè a fè l' mouri tou.
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.
Lè sa a, Jida di Tama, bèlfi li a: -Ou mèt tounen kay papa ou, rete vèv san marye jouk tan Chela, lòt gason m' lan, vin gran. Li te di l' sa paske li te pè pou Chela pa t' mouri tankou frè l' yo. Tama menm tounen rete kay papa l'.
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.
Kèk tan apre sa, madanm Jida, pitit fi Chwa a, mouri. Apre Jida te fin fè sa pou l' te fè pou lanmò a, li moute al Timna ansanm ak zanmi l' lan, Ira, moun Adoulam lan. Li tapral wè moun ki t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo pou li.
13 And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe.
Yo fè Tama konn sa, yo di l': -Gade. Men bòpè ou ap moute al Timna, pou l' fè taye lenn mouton li yo.
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.
Se konsa, Tama wete rad vèv ki te sou li a, li kouvri tèt li ak yon vwal, li al chita bò pòtay lavil Enayim, sou chemen ki mennen Timna a. Li te wè Chela te fin gran, men Jida pa t' pran l' bay Chela pou madanm.
15 When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face.
Lè Jida wè l', li konprann se te yon jennès, paske figi l' te kouvri.
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?
li al jwenn li bò chemen an, li di l': -vin non. Kite m' kouche avè ou. Li pa t' konnen se bèlfi li li te ye. Tama di li: -Kisa w'ap ban mwen pou m' kite ou kouche avè m'.
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.
Jida reponn li: -m'a voye yon jenn kabrit ba ou nan bèt mwen yo. Tama di li: -Kisa w'a ban m' kenbe jouk ou voye l' ban mwen.
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.
Jida reponn li: -Kisa ou vle m' ba ou kenbe? Tama di li: -Letanp ou a ak tout kòd li, ansanm ak baton ki nan men ou lan. Jida ba li yo. Li kouche ak li. Tama vin ansent pou li.
19 Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment.
Apre sa Tama leve, li al fè wout li. Li wete vwal la, epi li mete rad vèv li sou li ankò.
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.
Jida voye zanmi l', moun lavil Adoulam lan, ak jenn kabrit la pou l' te ka reprann sa l' te bay fanm lan kenbe a. Men zanmi l' lan pa t' kapab jwenn fanm lan.
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.
Li mande mesye ki te la yo. Kote jennès ki te chita bò chemen an, sou pòtay lavil Enayim lan? Yo reponn li: -Pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò isit la.
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.
Li tounen al jwenn Jida, li di l': -Mwen pa jwenn li non. Mesye nan zòn lan di m' pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò la.
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.
Jida di l': -Pa fatige kò ou chache reprann sak nan men l' lan. Moun va pase m' nan betiz twòp. Mwen voye kabrit la ba li, ou pa jwenn li. Kite sa!
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.
Sou twa mwa konsa, yo vin di Jida: -Tama, bèlfi ou la, lage kò l' nan jennès. Li gen tan ansent. Jida di yo: -Pran l', mennen l' deyò lavil la. Mete dife anwo l' jouk li mouri.
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.
Yo t'ap mennen Tama deyò lavil la lè li voye komisyon sa a bay bòpè li: -Se pou mèt bagay sa yo mwen ansent. Gade wè si ou rekonèt ki moun ki mèt letanp sa a ak tout kòd li ansanm ak baton sa a?
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.
Jida rekonèt yo, li di: -Li gen rezon. Se mwen menm ki antò. Mwen te dwe fè l' marye ak Chela, pitit gason m' lan. Jida pa t' kouche avè l' ankò.
27 Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe.
Lè lè a rive pou Tama akouche, yo wè li te gen marasa nan vant li.
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.
Pandan li te gen tranche, yonn nan timoun yo lonje men l' deyò. Fanmchay la kenbe men an, li mare yon moso fil wouj ladan l'. Li di: -Sa a fèt anvan.
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.
Men pitit la rale men an antre, epi se lòt frè a ki soti anvan. Fanmchay la di: -Se konsa ou fè chemen pou ou pase! Se poutèt sa yo rele l' Perèz.
30 And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.
Apre sa, frè li a soti ak fil wouj la mare nan men l'. Yo rele l' Zerak.
