Genesis 38
1 It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
E kindeno, Juda noweyo owetene kendo nodhi odak gi ja-Adulam ma nyinge Hira.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
Kuno Juda noromo gi nyar Shua ja-Kanaan mokendo kendo oriwore kode.
3 She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
Nomako ich kendo onywolo wuowi manochaki ni Er.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Nochako omako ich kendo onywolo wuowi kendo nochake ni Onan.
5 Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
Nochako onywolo wuowi machielo kendo nochake ni Shela. Wuowini nonywolo ka en Kezib.
6 And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Juda nokendone Er, wuode maduongʼ dhako kendo niluonge ni Tamar.
7 Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so God killed him.
To kata kamano, Er wuod Juda maduongʼ ne ngʼama timbene richo ahinya e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your 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 But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for 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 what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
Gimane otimono ne gima kwero e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kuom mano en bende Jehova Nyasaye nonege.
11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived 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 After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
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 Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Kane owach ne Tamar ni kwar mare owuok dhi Timna ngʼado yie rombe,
14 She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a 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 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Kane Juda onene, noparo ni en ochot nikech noumo wangʼe.
16 He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"
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 He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee until you send it?"
To Juda nodwoke niya, “Abiro oroni nyadiel magolo e kwethna.” To Tamar nomedo penje niya, “Ibiro singona angʼo kapok ioro nyadiendno?”
18 He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant 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 got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
Bangʼ ka Tamar nosedhi, nogolo law mane oumore godo kendo ochako orwako lawe mar chola.
20 Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.
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 the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here."
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 He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"
Eka nodok ir Juda kendo owachone niya, “Ok ayude. To ji modak kanyo ne owachona ni, ‘Onge ochot madhako ka.’”
23 Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find 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 Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."
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 brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, and the 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 Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.
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 It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
Kane sa ochopo mondo onywolie, nofwenyo ni en kod rude ma yawuowi e iye.
28 As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one 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 It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.
To kane nyathino odwoko lwete iye, owadgi machielo nowuok mi owacho niya, “Kama e kaka ithinyori oko!” Omiyo nochake ni Perez.
30 Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
Eka owadgi mane otwe usi e ngʼut lwete nowuok mi nochake nying ni Zera.
