Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and he pitched his tent with a certain Adullamite whose name was Chirah.
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 Shua; 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 bore a son; and he called his name 'Er.
Nomako ich kendo onywolo wuowi manochaki ni Er.
4 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
Nochako omako ich kendo onywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Onan.
5 And she again bore another son; and she called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
Nochako onywolo wuowi machielo kendo nochake ni Shela. Wuowini nonywolo ka en Kezib.
6 And Judah took a wife for 'Er his first-born, whose name was Tamar.
Juda nokendone Er, wuode maduongʼ dhako kendo niluonge ni Tamar.
7 And 'Er, Judah's first-born, was displeasing in the eyes 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 take her, as her brother-in-law, 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 Onan thus 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, so as not to give seed unto 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 was displeasing in the eyes of 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 thought, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brothers have done. 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 many days had elapsed when the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died; and after Judah was comforted, he went up unto his sheep-shearers, he and his friend Chirah the Adullamite, to Timnah.
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 unto Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah 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 herself with a vail, and concealed her face, and seated herself at the cross-road, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him for 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 And Judah saw her and thought her to be a 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, If thou wilt 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 is the pledge which I shall give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy scarf, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them unto 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 take the pledge out of 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 her place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was at the cross-road on the highway? And they said, There hath been no harlot in this neighborhood.
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 have said, There hath been 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 keep it, lest we be put to shame; 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 to Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by prostitution. And Judah said, Lead 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 led forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, to whom belong these, the signet, the scarf, 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 not again any 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 at 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 is upon thee: therefore his name was called Perez.
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 Zerach.
Eka owadgi mane otwe usi e ngʼut lwete nowuok mi nochake nying ni Zera.
