Genesis 38
1 At that time, Judah left his older and younger brothers and went down from the hilly area and stayed with a man whose name was Hiram, who lived in Adullam [town].
По онова време Юда се отдели от братята си и свърна при един одоламец на име Ира.
2 There he (met/became acquainted with) a woman who was the daughter of a man from Canaan named Shua. He married her. He had sex [EUP] with her,
И Юда като видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец, на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея.
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
И тя зачна и роди син; и той го наименува Ир.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
И зачна пак и роди син; и тя го наименува Онан.
5 Many years later, when Judah and his family went to live in Kezib [town], Judah’s wife gave birth to another son, whom she named Shelah.
Пак роди и друг син и го наименува Шела. А Юда беше в Ахдив, когато тя го роди.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
След време Юда взе жена за първородния си Ир, на име Тамар.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
А Ир, Юдовият първороден, беше нечестив пред Господа; и Господ го уби.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Your older brother died without having any sons. So marry his widow and have sex [EUP] with her. That is what our customs require that you should do.”
Тогава рече Юда на Онана: Влез при братовата си жена и извърши към нея длъжността на девер и въздигни потомството на брата си.
9 But Onan knew if he did that, any children who would be born would not be considered to be his. So every time he had sex [EUP] with his brother’s widow, he spilled his semen on the ground, so that she would not get pregnant and produce children for his older brother.
Но Онан знаеше, че потомството нямаше да бъде негово; затова, когато влизаше при братовата си жена, изливаше семето си на земята, за да не въздигне потомство на брата си.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
А това, което правеше, бе зло пред Господа; затова и него уби.
11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, [he can marry you].” But Judah [really did not want Shelah to marry her, because] he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar [obeyed Judah and] went back to live in her father’s house again.
Тогава, Юда, рече на снаха си Тамар: Живей, като вдовица в бащиния си дом, догде отрасне син ми Шела; защото си думаше: Да не би и той да умре като братята си. И така, Тамар отиде и живя в бащиния си дом.
12 Several years later, Judah’s wife, who was the daughter of Shua, died. When the time of mourning for her was finished, Judah decided to go up to Timnah, to the place where his (men were shearing his sheep/sheep were being sheared) His friend Hiram, from Adullam, went with him.
След дълго време, Юдовата жена, дъщеря на Суя, умря; и като се утеши Юда, отиде, той и приятелят му, одоламецът Ира, при стригачите на овците си в Тамна.
13 Someone said to Tamar, “Your father-in-law is going to [the fields near the city of] Timnah to help the men who are shearing his sheep.”
И известиха на Тамар, казвайки: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овците си.
14 [She realized that now Shelah was grown up, but Judah had not given her to him to be his wife. So] she took off her widow’s clothes, and covered her head with a veil, so that people would not (recognize her/know who she was). Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim [town], which is on the road to Timnah.
Тогава тя съблече вдовишките си дрехи, покри се с покривалото си, обви се и седна при кръстопътя на Енаим, който е по пътя за Тамна; защото видя, че порасна Шела, а тя не му бе дадена за жена.
15 When Judah came along and saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, because she had covered her head [like prostitutes often did] (OR, [and sat where prostitutes often sat)].
А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница: защото беше покрила лицето си.
16 Judah did not realize that she was his daughter-in-law. So he said to her, “Hey, let me have sex [EUP] with you!” She replied, “What will you give me for allowing you to have sex [EUP] with me?”
Той, прочее, свърна към нея на пътя и рече: Остави ме, моля, да вляза при тебе; ( защото не позна, че беше снаха му ). И тя рече: Какво ще ми дадеш, за да влезеш при мене?
17 He replied, “I will send you a young goat from my flock of goats.” She asked, “Will you give me something now for me to keep until you send the goat?”
А той рече: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. И тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, догде го изпратиш?
18 He replied, “What do you want me to give to you?” She replied, “Give me the ring that has your name on it that is tied by a cord around your neck, and give me the walking stick that you are holding in your hand.” So he gave them to her. Then he had sex [EUP] with her, and she became pregnant.
Рече той: Какъв залог да ти дам? И тя каза: Печата си, ширита си и тоягата си, която е в ръката ти. И той й ги даде. И влезе при нея, и тя зачна от него.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
После тя стана та си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи.
20 Judah gave a young goat to his friend from Adullam, for him to take back to the woman, as he had promised. But his friend could not find the woman.
А Юда изпрати ярето, чрез ръката на приятеля си одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената; но той не я намери.
21 So he asked the men who lived there, “Where is the prostitute who was sitting by the road at Enaim?” They replied, “There has never been a prostitute here!”
Затова попита хората от онова място, казвайки: Где е блудницата, която беше на пътя при Енаим? А те рекоха: Тука не е имало блудница.
22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I did not find her. [Furthermore], the men who live in that town said, ‘There has never been a prostitute here.’”
И той се върна при Юда и рече: Не я намерих; още и хората от онова място рекоха: Тук не е имало блудница.
23 Judah said, “She can keep the things that I gave to her. If we continued to search for her, people would ridicule us. I tried to send this young goat to her, but you could not find her to give it to her.”
И рече Юда: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех; ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери.
24 About three months later, someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and now she is pregnant!” Judah said, “Drag her outside of the city and kill her by burning her!”
Около три месеца подир това, известиха на Юда, казвайки: Снаха ти Тамар блудствува; а още, ето, непразна е от блудството. А Юда рече: Изведете я да се изгори.
25 But as they were taking her outside of the city, she gave the ring and walking stick to someone, and told him to take them to Judah, and say to him, “The man who owns these things is the one who caused me to become pregnant.” She also said to tell him, “Look at this ring, and the cord that is attached to it, and this walking stick. Whose are they?”
А когато я извеждаха, тя изпрати до свекъра си да му кажат: От човека, чиито са тия неща, съм непразна. Рече още: Познай, моля, чии са тия неща - печатът, ширитът и тоягата.
26 When the man did that, Judah recognized the ring and the stick. He said, “She is more righteous than I am. I did not tell my son Shelah to marry her, as I promised that I would.” And Judah did not have sex [EUP] with her again.
И Юда ги позна и рече: Тя е по-права от мене, тъй като не я дадох на сина си Шела. И не я позна вече.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
И когато дойде времето й да роди, ето, имаше близнета в утробата й.
28 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand. So the midwife fastened a scarlet thread around his wrist, saying, “This one came out first.”
И като раждаше, едното простря ръка: и бабата взе та върза червен конец на ръката му и каза: Тоя пръв излезе.
29 But he pulled his hand back inside the womb, and his brother came out first. So she said, “So this is how you break your way out first!” So she named him Perez, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘breaking out].’
А като дръпна надире ръката си, ето, брат му излезе; и тя рече: Какъв пролом си направи ти? Затова го наименуваха Фарес.
30 Then his younger brother, the one who had the scarlet thread around his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘redness of dawn].’
После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него наименуваха Зара.
