Genesis 38
1 It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj
3 She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.
5 Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.
6 And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.
7 Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of YHWH, so God killed him.
Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.
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."
Tada reče Juda Onanu: “Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!”
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.
Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.
10 And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.
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.
Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: “Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela.” Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.
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.
Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.
13 And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Obavijeste Tamaru: “Eno ti je svekar”, rekoše joj, “na putu u Timnu da striže ovce.”
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.
Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.
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?"
Svrati se on k njoj i reče: “Daj da ti priđem!” Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: “Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?”
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?"
“Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada”, odgovori. “Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ.”
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.
A on zapita: “Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?” Ona odgovori: “Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci.” Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.
19 And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.
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.
Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.
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."
Upita ljude u mjestu: “Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?” Oni mu odgovore: “Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
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.'"
Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: “Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”
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."
Onda reče Juda: “Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao.”
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."
Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: “Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela.” “Izvedite je”, naredi Juda, “pa neka se spali!”
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."
Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: “Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo.” Još doda: “Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!”
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 ih prepozna pa reče: “Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu.” Ali više s njom nije imao posla.
27 It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.
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."
Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: “Ovaj je izišao prvi.”
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.
Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: “Kakav li proder napravi!” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.
30 Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
