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.
E kindeno, Juda noweyo owetene kendo nodhi odak gi ja-Adulam ma nyinge Hira.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
Kuno Juda noromo gi nyar Shua ja-Kanaan mokendo kendo oriwore kode.
3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
Nomako ich kendo onywolo wuowi manochaki ni Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
Nochako omako ich kendo onywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni 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.
Nochako onywolo wuowi machielo kendo nochake ni Shela. Wuowini nonywolo ka en Kezib.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name [was] Tamar.
Juda nokendone Er, wuode maduongʼ dhako kendo niluonge ni Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
To kata kamano, Er wuod Juda maduongʼ ne ngʼama timbene richo ahinya e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Eka Juda nowacho ne Onan wuode niya, “Kaw chi owadu kendo ibed kode kaka yuori mondo inywol kode nyithindo ichung godo wi owadu.”
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.
To Onan nongʼeyo ni nyithindogo ok bi bedo mage, kuom mano e sa asaya mane oriwore kod chi owadgino; ne oolo kothe oko e lowo mondo ne mi kik onywol nyathi ne owadgi.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Gimane otimono ne gima kwero e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano en bende Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
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.
Eka Juda nowacho ne Tamar chi wuode niya, “Dhi dag e od wuonu kaka dhako ma chwore otho nyaka chop Shela wuoda bed maduongʼ.” Nikech noparo niya, “En bende onyalo tho mana kaka owetene.” Kuom mano Tamar nodhi odak gi wuon mare.
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.
Bangʼ kinde moko, nyar Shua ma chi Juda notho. Kane Juda osetieko weche mag liel, nodhi nyaka Timna ir joma ne lielo yie rombege kendo nodhi gi Hira ja-Adulam ma osiepne.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
Kane owach ne Tamar ni kwar mare owuok dhi Timna ngʼado yie rombe,
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.
nolonyo lawe mar chola oko, moumore gi suka mondo olok kite eka ne odhi mobet e dhorangach madonjo Enaim, mantie e yo madhi Timna. Nikech noneno ni kata obedo ni Shela koro osebedo ngʼama duongʼ, to ne ok omiyego mondo obed chwore.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot; because she had covered her face.
Kane Juda onene, noparo ni en ochot nikech noumo wangʼe.
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?
Ka ok ongʼeyo ni mano chi wuode Juda nodhi ire kamane obetie bath yo kendo owachone niya, “Koro bi mondo wabed kodi e achiel.” To Tamar nopenje niya, “Ibiro miya angʼo ka wabedo kodi e achiel?”
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]?
To Juda nodwoke niya, “Abiro oroni nyadiel magolo e kwethna.” To Tamar nomedo penje niya, “Ibiro singona angʼo kapok ioro nyadiendno?”
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.
To Juda nodwoke niya, “Singo mar angʼo ma idwaro?” To Tamar nodwoke niya, “Miya banglinino gi tonde kod luth manie lwetino.” Kuom mano Juda nomiyo Tamar chi wuode gigo kendo noriwore kode mi Tamar nomako ich kod Juda kwar mare.
19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Bangʼ ka Tamar nosedhi, nogolo law mane oumore godo kendo ochako orwako lawe mar chola.
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.
Eka bangʼe Juda nooro osiepne ma ja-Adulam gi nyadiel mondo mi oduogne gige mane Tamar odhigodo, to osiepne ne ok oyudo Tamar.
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].
Nopenjo ji mane odak kanyo niya, “Ere ochot madhako mane obet e akek yo madhi Enaim cha?” To negidwoke niya, “Onge ochot ma dhako ka.”
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].
Eka nodok ir Juda kendo owachone niya, “Ok ayude. To ji modak kanyo ne owachona ni, ‘Onge ochot madhako ka.’”
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.
Eka Juda nowacho niya, “We obed gi gik mane asingonego, nono to ji biro nyierowa. To bende aseorone nyadiendno, to ok inyal yude.”
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.
Bangʼ dweche adek Juda noyudo wach niya, “Tamar chi wuode tim chode osemiyo wichkuot kendo kuom mano koro en gi ich.” Juda nowacho niya, “Goleuru oko kendo uwangʼe nyaka otho!”
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.
E kinde mane igolo Tamar oko, noorone kwar mare wach niya, “Wuon banglini gi tonde kod ludhni ema nomiya ich rang ane ka inyalo yudo wuon-gi.”
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.
Juda nofwenyo gigo, kendo owacho niya, “Dhakoni ja-adiera maloya, nikech ne ok amiye Shela wuoda mondo okende.” Kendo Juda ne ok ochako oriwore kode.
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins [were] in her womb.
Kane sa ochopo mondo onywolie, nofwenyo ni en kod rude ma yawuowi e iye.
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.
Kane oyudo onywol, lwet nyathi achiel nowuok oko; kuom mano jacholo nokawo usi makwar kendo otweyo e ngʼut lwedono ka owacho niya, “Ma ema ne okwongo owuok.”
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.
To kane nyathino odwoko lwete iye, owadgi machielo nowuok mi owacho niya, “Kama e kaka ithinyori oko!” Omiyo nochake ni Perez.
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Eka owadgi mane otwe usi e ngʼut lwete nowuok mi nochake nying ni Zera.
