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;
當時ユダ兄弟をはなれて下りアドラム人名はヒラといふ者の近邊に天幕をはりしが
2 and Judah sees there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and takes her, and goes in to her.
ユダかしこにてカナン人名はシュアといふ者の女子を見これを娶りてその所にいる
3 And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;
彼はらみて男子を生みければユダその名をエルとなづく
4 and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls his name Onan;
彼ふたたび孕みて男子を生みその名をオナンとなづけ
5 and she adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
またかさねて孕みて男子を生みてその名をシラとなづく此子をうみける時ユダはクジブにありき
6 And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;
ユダその長子エルのために妻をむかふその名をタマルといふ
7 and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.
ユダの長子エル、ヱホバの前に惡をなしたればヱホバこれを死しめたまふ
8 And Judah says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother”;
茲にユダ、オナンにいひけるは汝の兄の妻の所にいりて之をめとり汝の兄をして子をえせしめよ
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;
オナンその子の己のものとならざるを知たれば兄の妻の所にいりし時兄に子をえせしめざらんために地に洩したり
10 and that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.
斯なせし事ヱホバの目に惡かりければヱホバ彼をも死しめたまふ
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.
ユダその媳タマルにいひけるは嫠婦となりて汝の父の家にをりわが子シラの人となるを待てと恐らくはシラも亦その兄弟のごとく死るならんとおもひたればなりタマルすなはち往てその父の家にをる
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.
日かさなりて後シュアの女ユダの妻死たりユダ慰をいれてその友アドラム人ヒラとともにテムナにのぼりその羊毛を剪る者の所にいたる
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;
茲にタマルにつげて視よなんぢの舅はその羊の毛を剪んとてテムナにのぼるといふ者ありしかば
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.
彼その嫠の服を脱すて被衣をもて身をおほひつつみテムナの途の側にあるエナイムの入口に坐す其はシラ人となりたれども己これが妻にせられざるを見たればなり
15 And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has covered her face,
彼その面を蔽ひゐたりしかばユダこれを見て娼妓ならんとおもひ
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?”
途の側にて彼に就き請ふ來りて我をして汝の所にいらしめよといふ其はその子の妻なるをしらざればなり彼いひけるは汝何を我にあたへてわが所にいらんとするや
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]?”
ユダいひけるは我群より山羊の羔をおくらん彼いふ汝其をおくるまで質をあたへんか
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;
ユダ何の質をなんぢに與ふべきやといふに彼汝の印と綬と汝の手の杖をといひければ即ちこれを與へて彼の所にいりぬ彼ユダに由て姙めり
19 and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts on the garments of her widowhood.
彼起て去りその被衣をぬぎすて嫠婦の服をまとふ
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.
かくてユダ婦の手より質をとらんとてその友アドラム人の手に托して山羊の羔をおくりけるが彼婦を見ざれば
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.”
その處の人に問て途の側なるエナイムの娼妓は何處にをるやといふに此には娼妓なしといひければ
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,”
ユダの許にかへりていふ我彼を見いださず亦その處の人此には娼妓なしといへりと
23 and Judah says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”
ユダいひけるは彼にとらせおけ恐くはわれら笑抦とならん我この山羊の羔をおくりたるに汝かれを見ざるなりと
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.”
三月ばかりありて後ユダに告る者ありていふ汝の媳タマル姦淫をなせり亦その姦淫によりて妊めりユダいひけるは彼を曵いだして焚べし
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.”
彼ひきいだされし時その舅にいひつかはしけるは是をもてる人によりて我は妊りと彼すなはち請ふこの印と綬と杖は誰の所屬なるかを辨別よといふ
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.
ユダこれを見識ていひけるは彼は我よりも正しわれ彼をわが子わがシラにあたへざりしによりてなりと再びこれを知らざりき
27 And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] in her womb;
かくて産の時にいたりて見るにその胎に孿あり
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.”
その産時手出しかば産婆是首にいづといひて絳き線をとりてその手にしばりしが
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;
手を引こむるにあたりて兄弟いでたれば汝なんぞ圻いづるやその圻汝に歸せんといへり故にその名はペレヅ（圻）と稱る
30 and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.
その兄弟手に絳線のある者後にいづその名はゼラとよばる
