Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down away from his brethren, —and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was Hirah.
Nzokande na tango wana, Yuda atikaki bandeko na ye mpe akendeki kovanda epai ya Ira, moto ya Adulami.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose, name, was Shua, —and he took her, and went in unto her;
Yuda akutanaki kuna na mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, moto ya Kanana. Abalaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
3 and she conceived and bare a son, —and he called his name Er.
Mwasi yango akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Yuda mwana mobali. Mpe Yuda apesaki ye kombo « Eri. »
4 And she conceived again and bare a son, —and she called his name Onan.
Mwasi yango azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali; apesaki ye kombo « Onani. »
5 And she, yet again, bare a son, and called his name Shelah, —and she, was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Abotaki mwana mobali mosusu mpe apesaki ye kombo « Shela. » Yuda azalaki na Kezibi tango mwasi na ye abotaki mwana ya misato.
6 And Judah took a wife, for Er his firstborn, —and, her name, was Tamar.
Yuda abalelaki Eri, mwana na ye ya liboso, mwasi: Tamari.
7 And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —so Yahweh put him to death,
Kasi Eri, mwana liboso ya Yuda, azalaki moto mabe na miso ya Yawe; yango wana Yawe abomaki ye.
8 Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law unto her, —and raise up seed, to thy brother.
Bongo Yuda alobaki na Onani: « Sangisa nzoto na semeki na yo mpo ete obota bana mpo na ndeko na yo ya mobali oyo akufa. »
9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his, —and so although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.
Kasi lokola Onani ayebaki ete bana oyo bakobotama bakozala ya ye te, azalaki kobwaka mayi na ye ya mibali na mabele tango nyonso azalaki kosangisa nzoto na semeki na ye, mpo ete abotela ndeko na ye ya mobali bana te.
10 And it was displeasing, in the eyes of Yahweh what he had done, —so he put, him also, to death,
Likambo oyo Onani azalaki kosala ezalaki kosepelisa Yawe te. Boye ye mpe lisusu, Yawe abomaki ye.
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law—Remain a widow in the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.
Yuda alobaki na Tamari, bokilo na ye ya mwasi: « Lokola okufisi mibali, kende kovanda na ndako ya tata na yo kino Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali, akokoma mokolo. » Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Tango mosusu ye mpe akoki kokufa lokola bandeko na ye ya mibali. » Boye Tamari akendeki kovanda na ndako ya tata na ye.
12 And when the days were multiplied, then died Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, —and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.
Sima na tango molayi, mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, mwasi ya Yuda, akufaki. Lokola tango na ye ya matanga esilaki, Yuda akendeki na Timina epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye. Boye, moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, akendeki elongo na ye.
13 And it was told Tamar saying, —Lo! thy father-in-law is going up towards Timnah, to the shearing of his sheep.
Tango bayebisaki Tamari: « Bokilo na yo ya mobali azali kokende na Timina mpo na kolongolisa bapwale ya bameme na ye, »
14 So she put off from her the garments of her widowhood and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself up, and sat down in the entrance of, Enaim, which is by the way towards Timnah, —for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she, had not been given him to wife.
alongolaki bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali mpe amizipaki elongi na vwale mpo ete bayeba ye lisusu te. Avandaki na ekuke ya Enayimi oyo ezalaki na nzela ya Timina, pamba te amonaki ete Shela akolaki, kasi bapesaki ye te na libala epai ya Shela.
15 And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, —for she had covered her face.
Tango Yuda amonaki ye, akanisaki ete azali mwasi ya ndumba, pamba te azipaki elongi na ye.
16 So he turned aside unto her. by the way, and said Grant it! 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, if thou shouldst come in unto me?
Lokola Yuda ayebaki te ete ezali bokilo na ye ya mwasi, apusanaki na esika oyo azalaki, pembeni ya nzela, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, ndima ete tosangisa na yo nzoto. Tamari atunaki: — Okopesa ngai nini soki osangisi na ngai nzoto?
17 And he said, I, will send a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give a pledge until thou send it?
Yuda azongisaki: — Nakotindela yo mwana ntaba oyo nakozwa na etonga na ngai. Tamari atunaki lisusu: — Ndanga nini okosimbisa ngai kino tango okotindela ngai yango?
18 And he said—What is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said—Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So he gave them to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.
Yuda alobaki: — Ndanga nini olingi ete nasimbisa yo? Tamari azongisaki: — Lopete na yo, singa na yo mpe lingenda na yo, oyo osimbi na loboko. Boye Yuda apesaki ye yango, asangisaki na ye nzoto mpe Tamari akomaki na zemi.
19 Then she arose and went her way, and put off her veil from her, —and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamari atelemaki mpe akendeki; alongolaki vwale na ye mpe azongisaki lisusu na nzoto bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali.
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge at the hand of the woman, —but he found her not.
Boye Yuda atindaki moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, mpo ete amemela mwasi yango mwana ntaba mpe azwa ndanga oyo asimbisaki ye. Kasi Ira amonaki ye te.
21 So he asked the men of her place saying. Where is the devotee, she that was in Enaim, by the way? And they said, —There hath been here no devotee.
Boye atunaki epai ya bavandi ya esika wana, na Enayimi: — Wapi mwasi ya ndumba oyo azalaki na nzela, na Enayimi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Esika oyo etikala kozala na mwasi ya ndumba te.
22 Then returned he unto Judah, and said—I found her not, —moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee.
Ira azongaki epai ya Yuda mpe ayebisaki ye: — Namoni ye te; kutu bavandi ya Enayimi bayebisi ngai ete mwasi ya ndumba atikala kozala na esika wana te.
23 And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, —lo! I sent this kid, and, thou, hast not found her.
Yuda alobaki: — Atikala na biloko oyo azwaki, noki te tokobima babolole. Ngai nazali na likambo te; natindeli ye mwana ntaba, mpe yo omoni ye te.
24 And it came to pass that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying—Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.
Sima na sanza misato, bayebisaki Yuda: — Tamari, bokilo na yo ya mwasi, asalaki kindumba, mpe tala kutu akomi na zemi. Yuda alobaki: — Babimisa ye mpe batumba ye na moto!
25 When, she, was about to be brought forth, then, she herself, sent unto her father-in-law saying, By the man to whom these belong, have I, conceived! And she said—Examine, I pray thee, to whom belong the signet-ring, and the guard, and the staff—these!
Wana bazalaki kobimisa ye libanda, Tamari atindaki sango oyo epai ya Yuda, bokilo na ye: — Nazali na zemi ya nkolo biloko oyo. Mpe abakisaki: — Tala soki okoki koyeba nani azali nkolo ya lopete oyo, ya singa oyo mpe ya lingenda oyo.
26 So Judah examined them and said—More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Yuda asosolaki ete ezali biloko na ye mpe alobaki: — Azali sembo koleka ngai, pamba te nabalisaki ye te epai ya Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali. Boye Yuda atikalaki lisusu te kosangisa na ye nzoto.
27 And, it came to pass at the time of her travail, that lo! twins, were in her womb.
Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, emonanaki ete ezalaki na mapasa mibale ya mibali kati na libumu na ye.
28 And it came to pass when she was in travail, that one put forth a hand, —so the midwife took and bound upon his hand a crimson thread, saying—This came first!
Na tango ya kobota, moko kati na bango abimisaki loboko; mpe mwasi oyo abotisaka asimbaki loboko yango, akangaki yango singa ya motane mpe alobaki: « Mwana oyo nde abimi liboso. »
29 And so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.
Kasi azongisaki loboko na ye, mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali abimaki. Bongo mwasi oyo abotisaka alobaki: « Ofungoli nzela nini mpo na kobima? » Mpe bapesaki ye kombo « Peretsi. »
30 And afterwards, came his brother, on whose hand was the crimson thread, —so his name was called, Zerah.
Sima, ndeko na ye oyo azalaki na singa ya motane na loboko mpe abotamaki; bapesaki ye kombo « Zera. »
