Genesis 38
1 It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Epi li te vin rive nan lè sa a ke Judas te kite frè l yo, pou te vizite yon sèten Adilamit ki te rele Hira.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
La, Juda te wè fi a yon sèten Kananeyen ki te rele Schua. Li te pran li e te antre an relasyon ak li.
3 She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
Konsa, li te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Er.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Epi li te vin ansent ankò, li te bay yon fis, ki te nonmen Onan.
5 Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
Li te fè toujou yon lòt fis, e li te nonmen li Schéla. Li te nan Czib lè li te fè li.
6 And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Alò, Juda te pran yon madanm pou Er, premye ne li a, e non li te Tamar.
7 Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of YHWH, so God killed him.
Men Er, premye ne a Juda a te mechan nan zye a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te pran vi li.
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."
Konsa, Juda te di a Onan: “Antre an relasyon ak madanm a frè ou a; fè devwa ou kòm bòfrè li, e fè leve yon posterite pou frè ou.”
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.
Onan te konnen ke posterite sa yo pa t ap pou li. Konsa, li te jete jèm li an atè pou li pa fè pitit pou frè li.
10 And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
Men sa li te fè a pa t fè SENYÈ a plezi. Li te pran vi li tou.
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.
Alò Juda te di a bofi li, Tamar: “Rete kòm vèv lakay papa ou jiskaske fis mwen an, Schéla fin grandi.” Paske li te reflechi: “Mwen pè pou li menm tou pa ta kapab mouri menm jan ak frè li yo.” Epi Tamar te ale viv lakay papa li.
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.
Alò, apre yon tan konsiderab, fi Schua a, madanm a Juda, te mouri. Epi lè tan tristès alanmò a te fini, Juda te monte vè ouvriye ki t ap taye lenn mouton bò kote Thimna yo, li menm avèk zanmi li, Hira, Adilamit lan.
13 And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Konsa, yo te di a Tamar: “Veye byen, bòpè ou ap monte vè Thimna pou taye lenn mouton li yo.”
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.
Alò, li te retire vètman vèv li a, li te kouvri tèt li avèk yon vwal, li te vlope tèt li, e li te chita nan pòtay Énaïm nan, ki nan wout pou rive Thimna. Paske li te wè ke Shéla te fin grandi, e yo pa t vin prezante li devan li kòm madanm.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Lè Juda te wè l, li te panse ke li te yon pwostitiye, paske li te kouvri figi li.
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?"
Konsa, li te vire bò kote li nan wout la, e li te di: “Alò, kite m antre an relasyon ak ou.” Paske li pa t konnen ke li te bèlfi li. Epi fi a te di: “Kisa w ap ban m pou ou ka antre an relasyon ak mwen?”
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?"
Li te di konsa: “Mwen va voye ba ou yon jèn kabrit ki sòti nan twoupo a.” Men li te di: “Èske ou va ban m yon bagay kòm yon sèman pou jis lè ou voye l?”
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.
Li te di: “Kisa pou m ta bay ou?” Epi li te di: “Ban m so, kòd avèk baton ki nan men ou an.” Konsa, li te bay yo a li menm. Li te antre an relasyon ak li, e vèv la te vin ansent pa li menm.
19 And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
Tamar te leve ale. Li te retire vwal la, e li te remete vètman a vèv yo.
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.
Lè Juda te voye jèn kabrit la ak zanmi li, Adilamit lan, pou resevwa sa ke li te bay kòm sèman an, li pa t twouve li.
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."
Li te mande mesye yo kote a: “Kote jennès tanp lan ki te akote wout la nan Énaïm nan?” Men yo te di li: “Pa t gen jennès tanp isit la.”
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.'"
Li te retounen a Juda, e te di: “Mwen pa t twouve li. Anplis de sa, mesye nan zòn di ke: ‘Pa t gen yon jennès tanp nan zòn sa a.’”
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."
Juda te di l: “Kite li pran yo pou kont li, sinon n ap vin yon betiz devan tout moun. Anfen, mwen te voye jèn kabrit sa a, men ou pa t twouve li.”
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."
Alò, li te anviwon twa mwa pita ke Juda te enfòme: “Bèlfi ou Tamar te jwe wòl jennès la. Gade byen, li vin ansent nan koze sa a.” Konsa, Juda te di: “Mete li deyò e kite yo brile li.”
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."
Epi pandan yo t ap mete li deyò, li te voye kote bòpè li pou di: “Mwen avèk pitit pa mesye ki se mèt a bagay sa yo.” Anplis, li te di: “Souple, fè yon ankèt pou vin aprann pou kilès so siyal sila a ye, e pou kilès kòd avèk baton sila yo ye?”
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 te rekonèt yo, e te di: “Li pi jis pase mwen, paske mwen pa t bay li fis mwen an, Schéla.” Epi li pa t gen relasyon avèk li ankò.
27 It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
Li te vin rive nan lè ke li t ap akouche a, gade byen, te gen jimo nan vant li.
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."
Anplis de sa, li te rive pandan li t ap akouche a ke youn te lonje yon men deyò, e fanm saj la te mare yon fisèl wouj sou men l. Li te di: “Se sila a ki sòti avan”.
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.
Men li te vin rive ke pandan li t ap rale men l tounen, frè l la te sòti avan. Epi li te di: “A la chemen ou gen tan fè pou kont ou!” Konsa, li te nonmen li Pérets.
30 Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
Apre, frè l la te vin sòti avèk fisèl wouj mare nan men l, e li te nonmen li Zerah.
