Genesis 38
1 And it comes to pass, at that time, that Judah goes down from his brothers, and turns aside to a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] Hirah;
Epi li te vin rive nan lè sa a ke Judas te kite frè l yo, pou te vizite yon sèten Adilamit ki te rele Hira.
2 and Judah sees there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and takes her, and goes in to her.
La, Juda te wè fi a yon sèten Kananeyen ki te rele Schua. Li te pran li e te antre an relasyon ak li.
3 And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;
Konsa, li te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Er.
4 and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls his name Onan;
Epi li te vin ansent ankò, li te bay yon fis, ki te nonmen Onan.
5 and she adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Li te fè toujou yon lòt fis, e li te nonmen li Schéla. Li te nan Czib lè li te fè li.
6 And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;
Alò, Juda te pran yon madanm pou Er, premye ne li a, e non li te Tamar.
7 and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.
Men Er, premye ne a Juda a te mechan nan zye a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te pran vi li.
8 And Judah says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother”;
Konsa, Juda te di a Onan: “Antre an relasyon ak madanm a frè ou a; fè devwa ou kòm bòfrè li, e fè leve yon posterite pou frè ou.”
9 and Onan knows that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it has come to pass, if he has gone in to his brother’s wife, that he has destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother;
Onan te konnen ke posterite sa yo pa t ap pou li. Konsa, li te jete jèm li an atè pou li pa fè pitit pou frè li.
10 and that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.
Men sa li te fè a pa t fè SENYÈ a plezi. Li te pran vi li tou.
11 And Judah says to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Abide [as] a widow at your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up”; for he said, “Lest he die—even he—like his brothers”; and Tamar goes and dwells at her father’s house.
Alò Juda te di a bofi li, Tamar: “Rete kòm vèv lakay papa ou jiskaske fis mwen an, Schéla fin grandi.” Paske li te reflechi: “Mwen pè pou li menm tou pa ta kapab mouri menm jan ak frè li yo.” Epi Tamar te ale viv lakay papa li.
12 And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah’s wife, dies; and Judah is comforted, and goes up to his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath.
Alò, apre yon tan konsiderab, fi Schua a, madanm a Juda, te mouri. Epi lè tan tristès alanmò a te fini, Juda te monte vè ouvriye ki t ap taye lenn mouton bò kote Thimna yo, li menm avèk zanmi li, Hira, Adilamit lan.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;
Konsa, yo te di a Tamar: “Veye byen, bòpè ou ap monte vè Thimna pou taye lenn mouton li yo.”
14 and she turns aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covers herself with a veil, and wraps herself up, and sits in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way to Timnath, for she has seen that Shelah has grown up, and she has not been given to him for a wife.
Alò, li te retire vètman vèv li a, li te kouvri tèt li avèk yon vwal, li te vlope tèt li, e li te chita nan pòtay Énaïm nan, ki nan wout pou rive Thimna. Paske li te wè ke Shéla te fin grandi, e yo pa t vin prezante li devan li kòm madanm.
15 And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has covered her face,
Lè Juda te wè l, li te panse ke li te yon pwostitiye, paske li te kouvri figi li.
16 and he turns aside to her by the way and says, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he has not known that she [is] his daughter-in-law; and she says, “What do you give to me, that you may come in to me?”
Konsa, li te vire bò kote li nan wout la, e li te di: “Alò, kite m antre an relasyon ak ou.” Paske li pa t konnen ke li te bèlfi li. Epi fi a te di: “Kisa w ap ban m pou ou ka antre an relasyon ak mwen?”
17 And he says, “I send a kid of the goats from the flock.” And she says, “Do you give a pledge until you send [it]?”
Li te di konsa: “Mwen va voye ba ou yon jèn kabrit ki sòti nan twoupo a.” Men li te di: “Èske ou va ban m yon bagay kòm yon sèman pou jis lè ou voye l?”
18 And he says, “What [is] the pledge that I give to you?” And she says, “Your seal, and your ribbon, and your staff which [is] in your hand”; and he gives to her, and goes in to her, and she conceives to him;
Li te di: “Kisa pou m ta bay ou?” Epi li te di: “Ban m so, kòd avèk baton ki nan men ou an.” Konsa, li te bay yo a li menm. Li te antre an relasyon ak li, e vèv la te vin ansent pa li menm.
19 and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamar te leve ale. Li te retire vwal la, e li te remete vètman a vèv yo.
20 And Judah sends the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he has not found her.
Lè Juda te voye jèn kabrit la ak zanmi li, Adilamit lan, pou resevwa sa ke li te bay kòm sèman an, li pa t twouve li.
21 And he asks the men of her place, saying, “Where [is] the separated one—she in Enayim, by the way?” And they say, “There has not been in this [place] a separated one.”
Li te mande mesye yo kote a: “Kote jennès tanp lan ki te akote wout la nan Énaïm nan?” Men yo te di li: “Pa t gen jennès tanp isit la.”
22 And he turns back to Judah and says, “I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There has not been in this [place] a separated one,”
Li te retounen a Juda, e te di: “Mwen pa t twouve li. Anplis de sa, mesye nan zòn di ke: ‘Pa t gen yon jennès tanp nan zòn sa a.’”
23 and Judah says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”
Juda te di l: “Kite li pran yo pou kont li, sinon n ap vin yon betiz devan tout moun. Anfen, mwen te voye jèn kabrit sa a, men ou pa t twouve li.”
24 And it comes to pass about three months [after], that it is declared to Judah, saying, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has committed fornication; and also, behold, she has conceived by fornication”: and Judah says, “Bring her out—and she is burned.”
Alò, li te anviwon twa mwa pita ke Juda te enfòme: “Bèlfi ou Tamar te jwe wòl jennès la. Gade byen, li vin ansent nan koze sa a.” Konsa, Juda te di: “Mete li deyò e kite yo brile li.”
25 She is brought out, and she has sent to her husband’s father, saying, “To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant”; and she says, “Please discern whose these [are]—the seal, and the ribbons, and the staff.”
Epi pandan yo t ap mete li deyò, li te voye kote bòpè li pou di: “Mwen avèk pitit pa mesye ki se mèt a bagay sa yo.” Anplis, li te di: “Souple, fè yon ankèt pou vin aprann pou kilès so siyal sila a ye, e pou kilès kòd avèk baton sila yo ye?”
26 And Judah discerns and says, “She has been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to my son Shelah”; and he has not added to know her again.
Juda te rekonèt yo, e te di: “Li pi jis pase mwen, paske mwen pa t bay li fis mwen an, Schéla.” Epi li pa t gen relasyon avèk li ankò.
27 And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] in her womb;
Li te vin rive nan lè ke li t ap akouche a, gade byen, te gen jimo nan vant li.
28 and it comes to pass in her bearing, that [one] gives out a hand, and the midwife takes and binds on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This has come out first.”
Anplis de sa, li te rive pandan li t ap akouche a ke youn te lonje yon men deyò, e fanm saj la te mare yon fisèl wouj sou men l. Li te di: “Se sila a ki sòti avan”.
29 And it comes to pass as he draws back his hand, that behold, his brother has come out, and she says, “What! You have broken forth—the breach [is] on you”; and he calls his name Perez;
Men li te vin rive ke pandan li t ap rale men l tounen, frè l la te sòti avan. Epi li te di: “A la chemen ou gen tan fè pou kont ou!” Konsa, li te nonmen li Pérets.
30 and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.
Apre, frè l la te vin sòti avèk fisèl wouj mare nan men l, e li te nonmen li Zerah.
