< Genesis 38 >

1 AND it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Ke pacl sac pacna Judah el som liki mwet wial, ac muta yurin mwet se pangpang Hirah, su ma in siti srisrik Adullam.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
Ke el muta we el sun tulik mutan Canaan se, su ma natul Shua. Na el payukyak sel,
3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
ac mutan sac osweang wen se nu sel, ac Judah el sang inen tulik sac Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
Mutan sac sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se, ac sang inel Onan.
5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Na el sifilpa oswela wen se, ac sang inel Shelah. Judah el muta Achzib ke mutan sac oswella Shelah.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
Judah el konauk mutan se pangpang Tamar kial Er, wen se omeet natul.
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.
Elah lal Er arulana koluk ac aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ke ma inge LEUM GOD El unilya.
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Na Judah el fahk nu sel Onan, tamulel lal Er, “Fahla ona yurin katinmas kien tamulel lom, ac akfalye ma kunom nu sel, tuh in oasr fita nutin ma lim.”
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
Tusruktu Onan el etu lah tulik el ac orala uh ac tia oaoa mu ma natul, ouinge pacl nukewa el ac ona yurin katinmas sac, el ac okoalla nu saya, tuh in wangin tulik nutin tamulel lal.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.
Ma el oru inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El unilya pac.
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
Na Judah el fahk nu sel Tamar, acn talupal, “Folokla ac muta yurin papa tomom, ac mutangan katinmas na nwe ke na Shelah, wen nutik, el matula.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el sensen ac anwuki pac Shelah oana tamulel luo lal ah. Ke ma inge Tamar el folokla nu yen sel ah.
12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Tok kutu, na mutan kial Judah ah misa. Ke safla eoksra lal, el ac Hirah, kawuk lal in acn Adullam, som nu Timnah, yen ma kalkul sheep natul uh we.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
Mwet se fahkang nu sel Tamar lah papa tumun mukul tumal ah el som nu Timnah in kal sheep natul we.
14 And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
Ouinge Tamar el ayaolla liki nuknuk in katinmas lal ma el muta nukum, afinya mutal ke mwe lisrlisr, ac pituki muta ke acn in utyak nu Enaim, sie siti srisrik sisken inkanek nu Timnah. In etu lal uh, Shelah, wen se ma fusr oemeet natul Judah, el matula tari in pacl se inge, a tiana itukyang Tamar elan payukyak sel.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
Ke Judah el liyalak, el nunku mu sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal pa el, mweyen el afinya mutal.
16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
El fahla nwe yorol sisken inkanek ah, ac fahk, “Kwal, lupa su molum?” (Judah el tiana etu lah mutan sac ma talupal.) Tamar el fahk, “Mea kom ac se?”
17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
Ac Judah el topuk, “Nga ac supwama soko nani fusr ah liki un kosro nutik.” Na Tamar el fahk, “Kwal, se sie mwe akpwaye an in oan yuruk nwe ke na kom supwama nani an.”
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
Ac Judah el siyuk, “Mea nga ac sot in mwe akpwaye wulela luk?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Sil se lom ingan wi ah nu kac an, oayapa sikal soko lom ma kom us ingan.” Judah el sang ma inge kewa nu sel, na el ona yorol ac Tamar el pitutuyak sel.
19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamar el folokla nu lohm sel, eisla mwe lisrlisr ke mutal, ac sifilpa nokomwang nuknuk in katinmas lal.
20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
Judah el supwalla Hirah, kawuk lal, in usla nani uh ac folokonma mwe akpwaye ma el tuh sang nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu Hirah el tuh tia ku in konalak.
21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
El siyuk sin kutu mukul Enaim, “Pia mutan kosro se ma tuh muta pe inkanek uh ah?” Ac elos topuk, “Wanginna mutan kosro yenu.”
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
Hirah el folokla nu yorol Judah ac fahk, “Nga tia ku in konalak. Mukul in acn sac fahk mu soenna oasr mutan kosro in acn sac.”
23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Judah el fahk, “Tari elan eis lal ma yorol an. Kut tia lungse mwet in isrun kut. Nga srike ngan moli nu sel, tuh pa kom tia konalak an.”
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Ac malem tolu ma tok, mwet se fahk nu sel Judah, “Tamar, acn talupom, el orekma oana mutan kosro se, ac inge el pitutu.” Ac Judah el sap, “Usalla, esukulak elan misa!”
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
Ke elos amakunulla Tamar, el sap elos in fahkang kas inge nu sin papa talupal: “Nga pitutuyak sin mwet se la ma inge. Srike liye lah lun su — sil se inge wi ah soko nu kac uh, ac sikal soko.”
26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Judah el akilenak ma inge ac fahk, “Pwaye sel, wangin mwatal. Nga tafongla ke ma kunuk nu sel. Pwayeiya uh, nga ac eisalang Shelah tumal.” Ac Judah el tiana sifilpa oan yorol.
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
Ke sun pacl in isus lal, koneyukyak lah el ac oswe fak se.
28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Ke pacl se el oswe tulik inge, sie seltal isongla paol nu saya, na mutan akisus sac sruokya, ac kapriya turet srusra soko kac, ac fahk, “El uh pa isusla meet uh.”
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
Tusruktu tulik sac folokonak paol, ac ma se ngia tuh isusla meet lukel. Na mutan akisus sac fahk, “Ya pa nge luman illa lom uh? Kom sifacna fokolma inkanek lom.” Ouinge itukyang inen tulik sac Perez.
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Na tulik se wial ah isusla, ac turet srusra soko ah oanna ke paol, na itukyang inel Zerah.
