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;

Pada waktu itu Yehuda meninggalkan saudara-saudaranya dan menumpang pada seorang Adulam, yang namanya 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.

Di situ Yehuda melihat anak perempuan seorang Kanaan; nama orang itu ialah Syua. Lalu Yehuda kawin dengan perempuan itu dan menghampirinya.

3 And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;

Perempuan itu mengandung, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan menamai anak itu Er.

4 and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls his name Onan;

Sesudah itu perempuan itu mengandung lagi, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan menamai anak itu Onan.

5 and she adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.

Kemudian perempuan itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki sekali lagi, dan menamai anak itu Syela. Yehuda sedang berada di Kezib, ketika anak itu dilahirkan.

6 And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;

Sesudah itu Yehuda mengambil bagi Er, anak sulungnya, seorang isteri, yang bernama Tamar.

7 and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.

Tetapi Er, anak sulung Yehuda itu, adalah jahat di mata TUHAN, maka TUHAN membunuh dia.

8 And Judah says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother”;

Lalu berkatalah Yehuda kepada Onan: "Hampirilah isteri kakakmu itu, kawinlah dengan dia sebagai ganti kakakmu dan bangkitkanlah keturunan bagi kakakmu."

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;

Tetapi Onan tahu, bahwa bukan ia yang empunya keturunannya nanti, sebab itu setiap kali ia menghampiri isteri kakaknya itu, ia membiarkan maninya terbuang, supaya ia jangan memberi keturunan kepada kakaknya.

10 and that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.

Tetapi yang dilakukannya itu adalah jahat di mata TUHAN, maka TUHAN membunuh dia juga.

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.

Lalu berkatalah Yehuda kepada Tamar, menantunya itu: "Tinggallah sebagai janda di rumah ayahmu, sampai anakku Syela itu besar," sebab pikirnya: "Jangan-jangan ia mati seperti kedua kakaknya itu." Maka pergilah Tamar dan tinggal di rumah ayahnya.

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.

Setelah beberapa lama matilah anak Syua, isteri Yehuda. Habis berkabung pergilah Yehuda ke Timna, kepada orang-orang yang menggunting bulu domba-dombanya, bersama dengan Hira, sahabatnya, orang Adulam itu.

13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;

Ketika dikabarkan kepada Tamar: "Bapa mertuamu sedang di jalan ke Timna untuk menggunting bulu domba-dombanya,"

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.

maka ditanggalkannyalah pakaian kejandaannya, ia bertelekung dan berselubung, lalu pergi duduk di pintu masuk ke Enaim yang di jalan ke Timna, karena dilihatnya, bahwa Syela telah menjadi besar, dan dia tidak diberikan juga kepada Syela itu untuk menjadi isterinya.

15 And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has covered her face,

Ketika Yehuda melihat dia, disangkanyalah dia seorang perempuan sundal, karena ia menutupi mukanya.

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?”

Lalu berpalinglah Yehuda mendapatkan perempuan yang di pinggir jalan itu serta berkata: "Marilah, aku mau menghampiri engkau," sebab ia tidak tahu, bahwa perempuan itu menantunya. Tanya perempuan itu: "Apakah yang akan kauberikan kepadaku, jika engkau menghampiri aku?"

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]?”

Jawabnya: "Aku akan mengirimkan kepadamu seekor anak kambing dari kambing dombaku." Kata perempuan itu: "Asal engkau memberikan tanggungannya, sampai engkau mengirimkannya kepadaku."

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;

Tanyanya: "Apakah tanggungan yang harus kuberikan kepadamu?" Jawab perempuan itu: "Cap meteraimu serta kalungmu dan tongkat yang ada di tanganmu itu." Lalu diberikannyalah semuanya itu kepadanya, maka ia menghampirinya. Perempuan itu mengandung dari padanya.

19 and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts on the garments of her widowhood.

Bangunlah perempuan itu, lalu pergi, ditanggalkannya telekungnya dan dikenakannya pula pakaian kejandaannya.

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.

Adapun Yehuda, ia mengirimkan anak kambing itu dengan perantaraan sahabatnya, orang Adulam itu, untuk mengambil kembali tanggungannya dari tangan perempuan itu, tetapi perempuan itu tidak dijumpainya lagi.

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.”

Ia bertanya-tanya di tempat tinggal perempuan itu: "Di manakah perempuan jalang, yang duduk tadinya di pinggir jalan di Enaim itu?" Jawab mereka: "Tidak ada di sini perempuan jalang."

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,”

Kembalilah ia kepada Yehuda dan berkata: "Tidak ada kujumpai dia; dan juga orang-orang di tempat itu berkata: Tidak ada perempuan jalang di sini."

23 and Judah says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”

Lalu berkatalah Yehuda: "Biarlah barang-barang itu dipegangnya, supaya kita jangan menjadi buah olok-olok orang; sungguhlah anak kambing itu telah kukirimkan, tetapi engkau tidak menjumpai perempuan itu."

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.”

Sesudah kira-kira tiga bulan dikabarkanlah kepada Yehuda: "Tamar, menantumu, bersundal, bahkan telah mengandung dari persundalannya itu." Lalu kata Yehuda: "Bawalah perempuan itu, supaya dibakar."

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.”

Waktu dibawa, perempuan itu menyuruh orang kepada mertuanya mengatakan: "Dari laki-laki yang empunya barang-barang inilah aku mengandung." Juga dikatakannya: "Periksalah, siapa yang empunya cap meterai serta kalung dan tongkat ini?"

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.

Yehuda memeriksa barang-barang itu, lalu berkata: "Bukan aku, tetapi perempuan itulah yang benar, karena memang aku tidak memberikan dia kepada Syela, anakku." Dan ia tidak bersetubuh lagi dengan perempuan itu.

27 And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] in her womb;

Pada waktu perempuan itu hendak bersalin, nyatalah ada anak kembar dalam kandungannya.

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.”

Dan ketika ia bersalin, seorang dari anak itu mengeluarkan tangannya, lalu dipegang oleh bidan, diikatnya dengan benang kirmizi serta berkata: "Inilah yang lebih dahulu keluar."

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;

Ketika anak itu menarik tangannya kembali, keluarlah saudaranya laki-laki, dan bidan itu berkata: "Alangkah kuatnya engkau menembus ke luar," maka anak itu dinamai Peres.

30 and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.

Sesudah itu keluarlah saudaranya laki-laki yang tangannya telah berikat benang kirmizi itu, lalu kepadanya diberi nama Zerah.
