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].
그 후에 유다가 자기 형제에게서 내려가서 아둘람 사람 히라에게로 나아가니라
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,
유다가 거기서 가나안 사람 수아라 하는 자의 딸을 보고 그를 취하여 동침하니
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매 유다가 그 이름을 엘이라 하니라
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 오난이라 하고
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.
그가 또 다시 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 셀라라 하니라 그가 셀라를 낳을 때에 유다는 거십에 있었더라
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
유다가 장자 엘을 위하여 아내를 취하니 그 이름은 다말이더라
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
유다의 장자 엘이 여호와 목전에 악하므로 여호와께서 그를 죽이신지라
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.”
유다가 오난에게 이르되 `네 형수에게로 들어가서 남편의 아우의 본분을 행하여 네 형을 취하여 씨가 있게 하라'
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.
오난이 그 씨가 자기 것이 되지 않을 줄 알므로 형수에게 들어갔을 때에 형에게 아들을 얻게 아니하려고 땅에 설정하매
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
그 일이 여호와 목전에 악하므로 여호와께서 그도 죽이시니
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.
유다가 그 며느리 다말에게 이르되 `수절하고 네 아비 집에 있어서 내 아들 셀라가 장성하기를 기다리라' 하니 셀라도 그 형들 같이 죽을까 염려함이라 다말이 가서 그 아비 집에 있으니라
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.
얼마 후에 유다의 아내 수아의 딸이 죽은지라 유다가 위로를 받은 후에 그 친구 아둘람 사람 히라와 함께 딤나로 올라가서 자기 양털 깍는 자에게 이르렀더니
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.”
혹이 다말에게 고하되 `네 시부가 자기 양털을 깎으려고 딤나에 올라왔다' 한지라
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.
그가 그 과부의 의복을 벗고 면박으로 얼굴을 가리고 몸을 휩싸고 딤나 길 곁 에나임 문에 앉으니 이는 셀라가 장성함을 보았어도 자기를 그의 아내로 주지 않음을 인함이라
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)].
그가 얼굴을 가리웠으므로 유다가 그를 보고 창녀로 여겨
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?”
길곁으로 그에게 나아가 가로되 `청컨대 나로 네게 들어가게 하라' 하니 그 자부인줄 알지 못하였음이라 그가 가로되 `당신이 무엇을 주고 내게 들어 오려느냐?'
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?”
유다가 가로되 내가 내 떼에서 염소 새끼를 주리라 그가 가로되 당신이 그것을 줄 때까지 약조물을 주겠느냐?
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.
유다가 가로되 `무슨 약조물을 네게 주랴?' 그가 가로되 `당신의 도장과 그 끈과 당신의 손에 있는 지팡이로 하라' 유다가 그것들을 그에게 주고 그에게로 들어갔더니 그가 유다로 말미암아 잉태하였더라
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
그가 일어나 떠나가서 그 면박을 벗고 과부의 의복을 도로 입으니라
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.
유다가 그 친구 아둘람 사람의 손에 부탁하여 염소 새끼를 보내고 그 여인의 손에서 약조물을 찾으려 하였으나 그가 그 여인을 찾지 못한지라
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!”
그가 그 곳 사람에게 물어 가로되 `길 곁 에나임에 있던 창녀가 어디 있느냐?` 그들이 가로되 `여기는 창녀가 없느니라'
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.’”
그가 유다에게로 돌아와 가로되 `내가 그를 찾지 못하고 그 곳 사람도 이르기를 여기는 창녀가 없다 하더라`
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.”
유다가 가로되 `그로 그것을 가지게 두라 우리가 부끄러움을 당할까 하노라 내가 이 염소 새끼를 보내었으나 그대가 그를 찾지 못하였느니라'
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!”
석달쯤 후에 혹이 유다에게 고하여 가로되 `네 며느리 다말이 행음하였고 그 행음함을 인하여 잉태하였느니라' 유다가 가로되 `그를 끌어 내어 불사르라'
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?”
여인이 끌려 나갈 때에 보내어 시부에게 이르되 `이 물건 임자로 말미암아 잉태하였나이다 청컨대 보소서, 이 도장과 그 끈과 지팡이가 뉘 것이니이까?' 한지라
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.
유다가 그것들을 알아보고 가로되 `그는 나보다 옳도다 내가 그를 내 아들 셀라에게 주지 아니하였음이로다' 하고 다시는 그를 가까이 하지 아니하였더라
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
임산하여 보니 쌍태라
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.”
해산할 때에 손이 나오는지라 산파가 가로되 `이는 먼저 나온자라' 하고 홍사를 가져 그 손에 매었더니
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].’
그 손을 도로 들이며 그 형제가 나오는지라 산파가 가로되 `네가 어찌하여 터치고 나오느냐?' 한고로 그 이름을 베레스라 불렀고
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].’
그 형제 곧 손에 홍사 있는 자가 뒤에 나오니 그 이름을 세라라 불렀더라
