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.
Hnin at vaengah tah Judahte a manucarhoek taeng lamkah suntla tih Adullami hlang, a mingte Hirah taengah pah.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
Te vaengah Judah loh Kanaan hoel nu, a mingah Shuaa hmuh hatah pahoia loh tiha ih puei.
3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
Te dongah pumrhih tih capaa cun vaengah a ming te Era sak.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih caa cun hatah a ming te Onana sak.
5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Te phoeiaha rhaep bal tih capaa cun hatah a ming te Shelaha sak. Tedae Shelah a cun vaengah Kezib ah om.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name [was] Tamar.
Te phoeiah Judah loh a caming Er ham yuua loh pah tih anih ming tahTamar ni.
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
Tedae Judah kah a caming Er tah BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah boethaelaa om dongah anihte BOEIPAloh a duek sak.
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to 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 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.
Tedae a tii a ngan te amah ham om hae mahpawh tila Onanloh a ming dongah, a maya yurho taengaha ih vaengah khaw diklai ah vik a san tih a maya ham tiingan khueh pah pawh.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Anih kah a saii te BOEIPA mikhmuh aha lolh bal dongah anih khaw BOEIPAloh a duek sak.
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.
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 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.
Tedae kum a yet phoeiah tah Judah yuu Shua nute 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 told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
Te dongah, “Tu mul vok ham Timnah la na marhang cet hang ke,” a tina tih Tamar taenglaa puen pah.
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.
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 hniia yil, muei a thuh tih Timnah long kah Enaim thohka ah ngol.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot; because she had covered her face.
Tedae anihte Judahloh a hmuh vaengah a hmaia dah dongah pumyoi ni tila a poek.
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?
Anihte amah langa laa ming pawt dongah long taengla anih taengah pah tih, “Halo, nang taengah ka ip ni ne,” a tinah hatah, “Kai taengahna kun te kai ham balaena khueh eh?,” a ti nah.
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]?
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 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.
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 tiha kun thil dongah Judah loh Tamara vawn sak.
19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Te phoeiah thoo tih, cet tih a pum dongkah hnii te a dul phoeiah nuhmai himbai tloep a bai.
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.
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 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].
Te dongah te hmuen kah hlangrhoek tea dawt “Enaim long taengkah hlanghalh te melae?,” a tinah vaengah herhoek ah hlanghalh om pawh,” a ti na uh.
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].
Te dongah Judah taengla koep bal tih, “Anih te ka hmuh moenih. Te phoeiah he hmuen kah hlang rhoek long khaw, 'Herhoek ah hlanghalha om moenih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Judah loh, “Amah neh amah te khoem uh saeh, nueihbu la n'om uh ve. Maae ca n'thak he khaw anihte na hmuh voel pawttih he,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae hla thum tluka lo vaengah Judah taengah,” Nang langa Tamarte cukhalh tih pumyoihnah neh vawn lah ko te,” a tinah tiha puen pa uh hatah Judah loh, “Anihte khuen uh lamtah hoeh,” a ti nah.
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.
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 Tamarloh a pat.
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.
Tedae Judahloh 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 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins [were] in her womb.
Tedae ca-om tue vaengah tah a bung khuiah caphae rhoi la tarha om.
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.
Te dongah camoe a om vaengah kut pakhat te han thawt dongah ca-omloh a tuuk tih, a kut dongaha lingdika cin pah tih, “Lamhma la om coeng he,” a ti.
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.
Tedae a kut vik a yueh tih a mana lat ha thoeng dongah, “Namahloh a puut Metlamlae nam va,” a tinah dongah a mingte Pereza sak.
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Te phoeiah a kut dongaha lingdik aka om a maya te ha pawk tih a mingte Zeraha sak.
