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;
Yeroo kanatti Yihuudaan obboloota isaa biraa deemee namicha Adulaam kan Hiiraam jedhamu tokko bira jiraachuuf gad buʼe.
2 and Judah sees there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and takes her, and goes in to her.
Achittis Yihuudaan intala namicha Kanaʼaan kan Shuuwaan jedhamu tokkoo arge; innis ishee fuudhee ishee bira gaʼe;
3 And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;
isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaan isaas Eer jedhame.
4 and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls his name Onan;
Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaa isaas Oonaan jettee moggaafte.
5 and she adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Ammas ittuma dabaltee ulfooftee ilma biraa deessee maqaa isaa Sheelaa jettee moggaafte. Isheenis Kiziibitti isa deesse.
6 And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;
Yihuudaanis Eer ilma isaa hangafticha niitii fuusise; maqaan ishee Taamaar jedhama ture.
7 and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.
Garuu Eer ilmi Yihuudaa hangaftichi sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isa ajjeese.
8 And Judah says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother”;
Yihuudaanis Oonaaniin, “Obboleessa keetiif sanyii dhaabuuf jedhiitii niitii obboleessa keetii bira gaʼiitii dirqama waarsummaa keetii isheef guuti” jedhe.
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;
Oonaan garuu akka ijoolleen dhalattu sun kan isaa hin taane beeke; kanaafuu akka obboleessa isaatiif sanyii hin dhaabneef jedhee yeroo niitii obboleessa isaa bira gaʼu hunda afeetaa lafatti dhangalaasa ture.
10 and that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.
Wanni inni hojjete sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isas ni ajjeese.
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.
Ergasii Yihuudaan niitii ilma isaa Taamaariin, “Hamma ilmi koo Sheelaa guddatutti haadha hiyyeessaa taʼiitii mana abbaa keetii jiraadhu” jedhe. Inni, “Mucaan kunis akkuma obboloota isaa duʼaa laata” jedhee yaadee tureetii. Kanaafuu Taamaar mana abbaa ishee jiraachuu dhaqxe.
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.
Bara dheeraa booddees intalli Shuuwaa niitiin Yihuudaa duute. Yihuudaanis gadda isaa irraa bayyanannaan gara Tiimnaahitti lafa warra hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuraniitti ol baʼe; michuun isaa Hiiraam namichi Adulaam isa wajjin deeme.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;
Taamaaris, “Kunoo abbaan dhirsa keetii hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruuf jedhee Tiimnaahitti ol baʼaa jira” jedhanii yeroo itti himanitti,
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.
wayyaa haadha hiyyeessaa of irraa baaftee of dhoksuuf haguuggii haguuggatte; ergasiis balbala Enaayimitti ol galchu kan daandii Tiimnaahitti geessu irra jiru dura teesse. Sheelaa guddatu iyyuu isheen akka niitummaadhaan isaaf hin kennamin beektee turteetii.
15 And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has covered her face,
Yihuudaan yommuu ishee argetti sababii isheen fuula ishee haguuggattee turteef sagaagaltuu ishee seʼe.
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?”
Innis utuu akka isheen niitii ilma isaa taate hin beekin karaa cina iddoo isheen jirtu ishee bira dhaqee, “Mee kottu si wajjin nan ciisaa” jedheen. Isheenis, “Ati na wajjin ciisuuf maal naa kennita?” jettee isa gaafatte.
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]?”
Inni immoo, “Ani bushaayee koo keessaa ilmoo reʼee tokko siifin erga” jedheen. Isheenis, “Hamma ilmoo sana naa ergitutti waan biraa qabsiisa naa kennitaa?” jetteen.
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;
Innis, “Ani qabsiisa maalin siif kenna?” jedheen. Isheenis deebiftee, “Chaappaa kee hidhaa isaa wajjin, ulee qabattee deemtus naa kenni” jetteen. Innis wantoota kanneen kenneefii ishee wajjin ciise; isheenis ni ulfoofte.
19 and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts on the garments of her widowhood.
Erga achii deemtee booddee haguuggii ishee of irraa baaftee wayyaa dhirsi ishee irraa duunaan uffattee turte sana deebiftee uffatte.
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.
Yihuudaan waan qabsiisa kenne dubartii sana irraa deebifachuuf jedhee karaa michuu isaa namicha Adulaam sanaatiin ilmoo reʼee ergeef; namichi garuu ishee hin argine.
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.”
Namichis, “Sagaagaltuun Enaayim bira, daandii irra taaʼaa turte sun eessa jirti?” jedhee warra achi jiraatan gaafate. Jarri immoo deebisanii, “Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre” jedhan.
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,”
Innis gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼee, “Ani dubartittii arguu hin dandeenye. Akkasumas warri iddoo sana jiraatan, ‘Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre’ jedhan” jedheen.
23 and Judah says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”
Yihuudaanis, “Isheen waan qabatte sana haa hambifattu; yoo kanaa achii nu waan kolfaa taanaa. Kunoo ani ilmoo reʼee kana isheef ergeera; ati garuu ishee dhabde” jedhe.
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.”
Gara jiʼa sadii booddee, “Taamaar niitiin ilma keetii sagaagaltuu taateerti; kanaanis isheen amma ulfoofteerti” jedhanii Yihuudaatti himan. Yihuudaan immoo, “Gadi baasaatii ibiddaan gubaa ishee ajjeesaa!” jedhe.
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.”
Isheenis utuma gad baafamaa jirtuu, “Ani abbaa miʼa kanaa irraa ulfaaʼeera” jettee abbaa dhirsa isheetti ergaa ergite. Akkasumas, “Chaappaa fi kirriin isaa, uleen kunis kan eenyuu akka taʼe mee ilaalii addaan baafadhu” jetteen.
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.
Yihuudaanis miʼa kana beekee, “Sababii ani ilma koo Sheelaatti ishee hin heerumsiisiniif, isheen na caalaa qajeeltuu dha” jedhe. Innis deebiʼee ishee bira hin geenye.
27 And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] in her womb;
Yommuu yeroon daʼumsa ishee gaʼetti, kunoo, ilmaan lakkuutu gadameessa ishee keessa ture.
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.”
Utuu isheen daʼumsa irra jirtuu inni tokko harka isaa gad baafate; deessiftuunis qabdee, “Isa kanatu dura lafa gaʼe” jettee kirrii diimaa harka isaatti hiite.
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;
Akkuma inni harka isaa ol deebifateen kunoo obboleessi isaa dhalate; deessiftuunis, “Ati akkamiin ofuma keetiin cabsitee baate?” jette. Maqaan isaas Faares jedhame.
30 and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.
Obboleessi isaa kan kirrii diimaa harka irraa qabu sunis ni dhalate; innis Zaaraa jedhamee moggaafame.
