Genesis 38
1 And it was at the time that and he went down Judah from with brothers his and he turned aside to a man an Adullamite and name his [was] Hirah.
Et il arriva, dans ce temps-là, que Juda descendit d’auprès de ses frères, et se retira vers un homme adullamite, nommé Hira.
2 And he saw there Judah a daughter of a man a Canaanite and name his [was] Shua and he took her and he went into her.
Et Juda y vit la fille d’un homme cananéen, et son nom était Shua; et il la prit, et vint vers elle.
3 And she conceived and she bore a son and he called name his Er.
Et elle conçut, et enfanta un fils, et on appela son nom Er.
4 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she called name his Onan.
Et elle conçut encore, et enfanta un fils, et elle appela son nom Onan.
5 And she repeated again and she bore a son and she called name his Shelah and he was in Kezib when bore she him.
Et elle enfanta encore un fils, et elle appela son nom Shéla. Et [Juda] était à Kezib quand elle l’enfanta.
6 And he took Judah a wife for Er firstborn his and name her [was] Tamar.
Et Juda prit pour Er, son premier-né, une femme qui se nommait Tamar.
7 And he was Er [the] firstborn of Judah evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he put to death him Yahweh.
Et Er, premier-né de Juda, était méchant aux yeux de l’Éternel, et l’Éternel le fit mourir.
8 And he said Judah to Onan go into [the] wife of brother your and act as a husband's brother for her and raise up offspring for brother your.
Et Juda dit à Onan: Va vers la femme de ton frère, et remplis envers elle le devoir de beau-frère, et suscite de la semence à ton frère.
9 And he knew Onan that not to him it will belong the offspring and it was if he went into [the] wife of brother his and he spoiled [the] ground towards to not to give offspring to brother his.
Et Onan savait que la semence ne serait pas à lui; et il arriva que lorsqu’il entra vers la femme de son frère, il perdit sur la terre, pour ne pas donner de semence à son frère.
10 And it was evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh [that] which he had done and he put to death also him.
Et ce qu’il faisait fut mauvais aux yeux de l’Éternel, et il le fit mourir aussi.
11 And he said Judah to Tamar daughter-in-law his dwell a widow [the] house of father your until he will grow up Shelah son my for he said lest he should die also he like brothers his and she went Tamar and she dwelt [the] house of father her.
Et Juda dit à Tamar, sa belle-fille: Demeure veuve dans la maison de ton père, jusqu’à ce que Shéla, mon fils, soit devenu grand; car il dit: De peur qu’il ne meure, lui aussi, comme ses frères. Et Tamar s’en alla, et demeura dans la maison de son père.
12 And they increased the days and she died [the] daughter of Shua [the] wife of Judah and he was comforted Judah and he went up to [the] shearers of sheep his he and Hirah friend his the Adullamite Timnah towards.
Et les jours se multiplièrent, et la fille de Shua, femme de Juda, mourut; et Juda se consola, et monta à Thimna, lui et Hira, l’Adullamite, son ami, vers les tondeurs de son troupeau.
13 And it was told to Tamar saying there! father-in-law your [is] going up Timnah towards to shear sheep his.
Et on l’annonça à Tamar, en disant: Voici, ton beau-père monte à Thimna pour tondre son troupeau.
14 And she removed [the] clothes of widowhood her from on her and she covered with the veil and she wrapped herself up and she sat at [the] entrance of Enaim which [is] on [the] road of Timnah towards for she had seen that he had grown up Shelah and she not she had been given to him to a wife.
Et elle ôta de dessus elle les vêtements de son veuvage, et se couvrit d’un voile, et s’enveloppa, et s’assit à l’entrée d’Énaïm, qui était sur le chemin de Thimna; car elle voyait que Shéla était devenu grand, et qu’elle ne lui était pas donnée pour femme.
15 And he saw her Judah and he considered her to a prostitute for she had covered face her.
Et Juda la vit, et la tint pour une prostituée, car elle avait couvert son visage.
16 And he turned aside to her to the road and he said give! please let me go into you for not he knew that [was] daughter-in-law his she and she said what? will you give to me that you will come into me.
Et il se détourna vers elle, dans le chemin, et dit: Permets, je te prie, que je vienne vers toi. Car il ne savait pas que c’était sa belle-fille. Et elle dit: Que me donneras-tu, afin que tu viennes vers moi?
17 And he said I I will send a kid of goats from the flock and she said if you will give a pledge until sending [it] you.
Et il dit: J’enverrai un chevreau du troupeau. Et elle dit: [Me] donneras-tu un gage, jusqu’à ce que tu l’envoies?
18 And he said what? [is] the pledge which I will give to you and she said seal your and cord your and staff your which [is] in hand your and he gave [them] to her and he went into her and she conceived to him.
Et il dit: Quel gage te donnerai-je? Et elle dit: Ton cachet, et ton cordon, et ton bâton qui est en ta main. Et il [les] lui donna; et il vint vers elle, et elle conçut de lui.
19 And she arose and she went and she removed veil her from on her and she put on [the] clothes of widowhood her.
Et elle se leva et s’en alla, et ôta son voile de dessus elle, et revêtit les vêtements de son veuvage.
20 And he sent Judah [the] kid of the goats by [the] hand of friend his the Adullamite to take the pledge from [the] hand of the woman and not he found her.
Et Juda envoya le chevreau par la main de son ami, l’Adullamite, pour recevoir le gage de la main de la femme; mais il ne la trouva pas.
21 And he asked [the] men of place her saying where? [is] the cult prostitute she [was] at Enaim at the road and they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.
Et il interrogea les hommes du lieu, disant: Où est cette prostituée qui était à Énaïm, sur le chemin? Et ils dirent: Il n’y a pas eu ici de prostituée.
22 And he returned to Judah and he said not I found her and also [the] men of the place they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.
Et il retourna vers Juda, et dit: Je ne l’ai pas trouvée, et aussi les gens du lieu m’ont dit: Il n’y a pas eu ici de prostituée.
23 And he said Judah let her take [them] for herself lest we should become contempt there! I sent the kid this and you not you found her.
Et Juda dit: Qu’elle prenne le [gage] pour elle, de peur que nous ne soyons en mépris. Voici, j’ai envoyé ce chevreau, et toi tu ne l’as pas trouvée.
24 And it was - when from three months and it was told to Judah saying she has acted as a prostitute Tamar daughter-in-law your and also here! [she is] pregnant to prostitution and he said Judah bring out her so she may be burned.
Et il arriva, environ trois mois après, qu’on informa Juda, en disant: Tamar, ta belle-fille, s’est prostituée, et voici, elle est même enceinte par la prostitution. Et Juda dit: Faites-la sortir, et qu’elle soit brûlée.
25 She [was being] brought out and she she sent to father-in-law her saying to a man whom these [belong] to him I [am] pregnant and she said investigate please [belong] to whom? the seal and the cord and the staff these.
Comme on la faisait sortir, elle envoya vers son beau-père, disant: C’est de l’homme à qui appartiennent ces choses que je suis enceinte. Et elle dit: Reconnais, je te prie, à qui est ce cachet, et ce cordon, et ce bâton.
26 And he recognized [them] Judah and he said she is righteous more than me for since not I gave her to Shelah son my and not he repeated again to know her.
Et Juda [les] reconnut, et dit: Elle est plus juste que moi; parce que je ne l’ai pas donnée à Shéla, mon fils. Et il ne la connut plus.
27 And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.
Et il arriva, au temps où elle enfanta, que voici, des jumeaux étaient dans son ventre;
28 And it was when gave birth she and he put out a hand and she took the midwife and she tied on hand his a scarlet thread saying this one he came out first.
et il arriva, comme elle enfantait, que [l’un d’eux] tendit la main; et la sage-femme la prit, et lia sur sa main un fil écarlate, en disant: Celui-ci sort le premier.
29 And it was - when [he was] withdrawing hand his and there! he came out brother his and she said how! you have made a breach on yourself a breach and someone called name his Perez.
Et il arriva, comme il retira sa main, que voici, son frère sortit; et elle dit: Quelle brèche tu as faite! La brèche est sur toi. Et on appela son nom Pérets.
30 And after he came out brother his whom [was] on hand his the scarlet thread and someone called name his Zerah.
Et ensuite sortit son frère, sur la main duquel était le fil écarlate; et on appela son nom Zérakh.
