Genesis 38
1 It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Joda dia nidina niala teo amin’ ny rahalahiny ka lasa nanatona ny lehilahy Adolamita anankiray. Hira no anarany.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
Ary teo no nahitan’ i Joda ny zanakavavin’ i Soa, lehilahy Kananita anankiray; dia naka azy izy ka nanambady azy.
3 She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Era.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Onana.
5 Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray koa izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Sela; ary Joda nitoetra tany Keziba tamin’ ny niterahan’ ny vadiny an’ i Sela.
6 And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Ary Joda naka vady ho an’ i Era lahimatoany, Tamara no anarany.
7 Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so God killed him.
Fa ratsy fanahy teo imason’ i Jehovah Era, lahimatoan’ i Joda; dia novonoin’ i Jehovah izy.
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."
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Onana: Vadio ny vadin’ ny rahalahinao, ka ento loloha izy, dia velomy maso ny rahalahinao.
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.
Ary fantatr’ i Onana fa tsy ho azy tsinona ny zaza; koa raha nandry tamin’ ny vadin’ ny rahalahiny izy, dia nandraraka tamin’ ny tany mba tsy hiterahany zanaka ho an’ ny rahalahiny.
10 And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
Ary ratsy teo imason’ i Jehovah izay nataony; ka dia novonoiny koa izy.
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.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Tamara vinantoni-vavy: Tomoera ho mpitondratena ao an-tranon-drainao mandra-pahalehiben’ i Sela zanako-lahy (fa hoy izy: Fandrao maty koa tahaka ny rahalahiny izy); dia nandeha Tamara ka nitoetra tao an-tranon-drainy.
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.
Ary rehefa ela, dia maty ny vadin’ i Joda, dia ilay zanakavavin’ i Soa; ary rehefa nionona ny alahelon’ i Joda, dia niakatra tany amin’ ny mpanety ondriny tany Timna izy sy Hira Adolamita sakaizany.
13 And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Tamara hoe Indro, ny rafozanao miakatra ho any Timna hanety ny ondriny.
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.
Ary nanaisotra ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena izy, dia nisarona fisalobonana ka nisalobona, dia nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Enaima, izay eo amin’ ny lalana mankany Timna; satria efa hitan’ i Tamara fa efa lehibe Sela, nefa tsy mbola nomen’ i Joda ho vadin’ i Sela izy.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Ary hitan’ i Joda izy ka nataony fa vehivavy janga, satria efa nanarona ny tavany izy.
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?"
Dia nivily nanatona azy teo amoron-dalana Joda ka nanao hoe: Aoka mba handry aminao aho (fa tsy fantany ho vinantony izy); dia hoy kosa ravehivavy: Inona ary no homenao ahy, raha handry amiko ianao?
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?"
Dia hoy izy: Hampanatitra zanak’ osy avy amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy aho. Fa hoy kosa ravehivavy: Hanome fampitanana va ianao mandra-pampanatitrao azy?
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.
Ary hoy izy: Inona no fampitanana homeko anao? Ary hoy ravehivavy: Ny fanombohan-kasenao sy ny kofehinao ary iny tehinao eny an-tananao iny. Ary nomeny azy ireny, dia nandry taminy izy, ka nanan’ anaka taminy ravehivavy.
19 And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
Ary niainga ravehivavy ka lasa nandeha, dia nanala ny fisalobonana izay notafiny ka niakanjo ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena indray.
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.
Dia nampitondrain’ i Joda ilay Adolamita sakaizany ny zanak’ osy, hangalany ilay fampitanana amin-dravehivavy; kanjo tsy hitany izy.
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."
Dia nanontany ny olona teo amin’ ny fonenan-dravehivavy izy ka nanao hoe: Aiza moa ilay vehivavy janga izay tamoron-dalana teo Enaima? Fa hoy ny olona: Tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
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.'"
Dia niverina tany amin’ i Joda izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy nahita azy aho; ary nolazain’ ny olona tompon-tany fa tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
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."
Dia hoy Joda: Aoka ho lasany ho azy, fandrao ho afa-baraka isika; indro, efa nampanateriko ity zanak’ osy ity, nefa ianao tsy nahita an-dravehivavy.
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."
Ary rehefa afaka tokony ho telo volana, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Joda hoe: Efa nijangajanga Tamara vinantovavinao; ka indro, efa manan’ anaka tamin’ ny fijangajangana izy. Dia hoy Joda: Avoahy izy hodorana.
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."
Ary rehefa navoaka izy, dia naniraka tany amin’ ny rafozany ka nanao hoe: Ny lehilahy izay tompon’ ireto no nananako anaka; ary hoy koa izy: Masìna ianao, fantaro izay tompon’ ireto fanombohan-kase sy kofehy ary tehina ireto.
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.
Dia nahafantatra ireo Joda ka nanao hoe: Marina noho izaho izy, satria tsy nomeko ho vadin’ i Sela zanako. Dia tsy nandry taminy intsony izy.
27 It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
Ary tamin’ ny andro niterahany, indro, nisy zaza kambana tao an-kibony.
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."
Ary raha niteraka izy, dia niseho ny tanan’ ny anankiray, ary naka kofehy mena ny mpampivelona, ka nafehiny tamin’ ny tànany, sady hoy izy: Ity no niseho voalohany.
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.
Ary rehefa nahemony ny tànany, dia, indro, teraka ny rahalahiny; ary hoy ny mpampivelona: Ahoana no nibosesehanao? dia nataony hoe Fareza no anarany.
30 Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia teraka koa ny rahalahiny, izay nisy ilay kofehy mena tamin’ ny tànany; dia nataony hoe Zera no anarany.
