Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
त्यस समयमा यहूदा आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई छोडेर हीरा नाउँ भएको कुनै एउटा अदुल्लामवासीकहाँ बस्दथे ।
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her.
त्यहाँ उनले एउटा कनानी मानिसकी छोरीलाई भेटे जसको नाम शूआ थियो । उनले तिनीसँग विवाह गरे र सहवास गरे ।
3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । त्यसको नाउँ एर् राखियो ।
4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनले त्यसको नाउँ ओनान राखिन् ।
5 And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
तिनले फेरि अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् र त्यसको नाउँ शेलह राखिन् ।
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
यहूदाले आफ्नो जेठो छोरा एर्को निम्ति एउटी पत्नी ल्याइदिए । तिनको नाउँ तामार थियो ।
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
तर यहूदाको जेठो छोरो एर् परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट थियो । यसैकारण परमप्रभुले त्यसको प्राण लिनुभयो ।
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
यहूदाले ओनानलाई भने, “तँ आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्। आफ्नी भाउजूप्रति देवरको कर्तव्य पूरा गर्, र आफ्नो दाजुको निम्ति एउटा बालक हुर्का ।”
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
त्यो बालक आफ्नो हुनेछैन भनेर ओनानलाई थाहा थियो । आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्दा दाजुको कुनै सन्तान नहोस् भनेर उसले आफ्नो वीर्य भुइँमा पतन गर्थ्यो ।
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD: and he slew him also.
उसले जे गर्यो त्यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा खराब थियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसको पनि प्राण लिनुभयो ।
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown up: for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
त्यसपछि यहूदाले आफ्नी बुहारी तामारलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो शेलह ठुलो नभएसम्म तिम्रा बुबाकै घरमा विधवा नै भएर बस ।” किनभने अरू दाजुहरूझैँ शेलह पनि मर्छ कि भनेर उनी डराए । त्यसैकारण तामार तिनका बुबाकै घरमा बसिन् ।
12 And in process of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
त्यसको धेरै समयपछि शूआकी छोरी यहूदाकी पत्नीको मृत्यु भयो । यहूदाले शोक गरिसकेपछि उनी र उनका मित्र अदुल्लामवासी हीराका साथ आफ्ना भेडा कत्रनेहरूकहाँ तिम्नामा गए ।
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father in law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
तामारलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर, तिम्रा ससुरा आफ्ना भेडा कत्रन तिम्ना जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
14 And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife.
तिनले विधवाको वस्त्र फुकालिन्, घुम्टोले आफ्नो टाउको र अनुहार ढाकिन् र अरूहरूले तिनलाई नचिनून् भनेर आफैँलाई कपडाले ढाकिन् । तिनी तिम्नाको बाटोमा रहेको एनैमको द्वारमा बसिन् । किनकि शेलह ठुलो भइसकेका तर तिनलाई उनकी पत्नी हुनलाई नदिइएको तिनले देखिन् ।
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; for she had covered her face.
जब यहूदाले तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाकेकी हुनाले तिनलाई एउटा वेश्या ठाने ।
16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee: for he knew not that she was his daughter in law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
तिनी आफ्नी बुहारी हुन् भन्ने थाहा नभएर उनी तिनीकहाँ सडकको किनारमा गए र भने, “आऊ, मलाई तिमीसँग सुत्न देऊ” अनि तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईं मसँग सुत्नका लागि मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ?”
17 And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
उनले भने, “म तिम्रो निम्ति बगालबाट एउटा पाठो दिनेछु ।” तिनले भनिन्, “के तपाईंले त्यो मकहाँ नपठाउन्जेल केही बन्धक राख्नुहुनेछ?”
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
उनले भने, “म तिमीलाई बन्धकको रूपमा के दिऊँ?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “तपाईंको छाप, त्यसको डोरी, र तपाईंको हातमा भएको त्यो लौरो ।” उनले ती सबै तिनलाई दिए र तिनीसँग सुते, अनि तिनी उनीद्वारा गर्भवती भइन् ।
19 And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
त्यसपछि तिनी उठेर गइहालिन् । तिनले आफ्नो घुम्टो हटाएर विधवाको वस्त्र लगाइन् ।
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
यहूदाले ती स्त्रीका हातबाट बन्धकमा रहेका सामान प्राप्त गर्न आफ्ना मित्र अदुल्लामवासीसँग एउटा पाठो पठाए, तर उनले तिनलाई भेट्टाएनन् ।
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the way side? And they said, There hath been no harlot here.
त्यसपछि त्यस अदुल्लामवासीले त्यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई सोधे, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने त्यो वेश्या कहाँ गई जो सडक नजिक एनैममा थिई?” तिनीहरूले भने, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन ।”
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no harlot here.
उनी यहूदाकहाँ फर्के र भने, “मैले त्यसलाई भेट्टाइनँ । र त्यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले पनि भने, ‘मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन’ ।”
23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
यहूदाले भने, “त्यसले नै ती सामानहरू राखोस्, र हामी शर्ममा पर्नेछैनौँ । मैले त यो पाठो पठाएकै हो, तर तिमीले त्यसलाई भेट्टाएनौ ।”
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
त्यसको करिब तिन महिनापछि यहूदालाई भनियो, “तपाईंकी बुहारी तामारले वेश्याकर्म गरेकी छे, र त्यो गर्भवती भएकी छे ।” यहूदाले भने, “त्यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याओ र त्यसलाई जलाइयोस् ।”
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.
जब तिनलाई ल्याइँदै थियो, तिनले आफ्नो ससुरालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए, “यी सामानहरू जसका हुन् म त्यही मानिसद्वारा गर्भवती भएकी हुँ ।” तिनले भनिन्, “यो छाप, त्यसको डोरी र यो लौरो कसका हुन् कृपया पत्ता लगाइदिनुहोस् ।”
26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
यहूदाले ती सामानहरू चिने र भने, “मैले यिनलाई मेरो छोरो शेलहकी पत्नी हुन नदिएको हुनाले यिनी मभन्दा पनि धेरै धर्मी छिन्, ।” त्यसपछि उनी कहिल्यै तिनीसँग सुतेनन् ।
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
तिनको बच्चा जन्माउने समय भयो । तिनको गर्भमा जुम्ल्याहा थियो ।
28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
तिनले बच्चा जन्माइरहँदा एउटाले आफ्नो हात बाहिर निकाल्यो, र सुँडेनीले एउटा गाढा रातो धागो लिएर त्यसको हातमा बाँधिदिएर भनी, “योचाहिँ पहिले बाहिर आयो ।”
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? therefore his name was called Perez.
तर त्यसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो हात भित्र लग्यो, र त्यसको भाइ पहिला बाहिर निस्कियो । सुँडेनीले अचम्म मानेर भनी, “यो कसरी पहिला बाहिर आयो!” यसैकारण त्यसको नाउँ फारेस राखियो ।
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah.
त्यसपछि हातमा गाढा रातो धागो भएको त्यसको दाजु बाहिर आयो, र त्यसको नाउँ जेरह राखियो ।
