< 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].
یەهودا لەو سەردەمەدا براکانی بەجێهێشت و چوو بۆ لای پیاوێکی عەدولامی کە ناوی حیرە بوو.
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,
لەوێ یەهودا چاوی بە کچی پیاوێکی کەنعانی کەوت بە ناوی شوەع. ئیتر ئەو کچەی خواست و لەگەڵی نوست.
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
ئەویش سکی پڕ بوو، کوڕێکی بوو ناوی لێنا ئێر.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
جارێکی دیکە سکی پڕ بووەوە، کوڕێکی دیکەی بوو ناوی لێنا ئۆنان.
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.
دیسان سکی پڕ بووەوە، کوڕێکی دیکەی بوو ناوی لێنا شالەح. کاتێک یەهودا لە کەزیب بوو، ئەم کوڕەی بوو.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
یەهودا ژنێکی بۆ ئێری کوڕە نۆبەرەی خۆی هێنا، ناوی تامار بوو.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
بەڵام ئێری کوڕە نۆبەرەی یەهودا لەبەردەم یەزدان بەدکار بوو، یەزدانیش لەناوی برد.
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.”
ئینجا یەهودا بە ئۆنانی گوت: «ژنی براکەت بخوازەوە و سەرجێیی لەگەڵ بکە، بە ئەرکی برایەتی هەستە و نەوە بۆ براکەت بخەرەوە.»
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.
بەڵام ئۆنان دەیزانی کە منداڵەکە نابێتە هی خۆی، بۆیە هەر کاتێک سەرجێیی لەگەڵ ژنی براکەی دەکرد، تۆوەکەی خۆی دەڕژاندە سەر زەوی، بۆ ئەوەی نەوە بۆ براکەی نەخاتەوە.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
ئەم کردارەی ئەو بەلای یەزدانەوە کارێکی خراپ بوو، ئیتر ئەویشی مراند.
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.
یەهودا بە تاماری بووکی خۆی گوت: «لە ماڵی باوکت بە بێوەژنی دابنیشە، هەتا شالەحی کوڕم گەورە دەبێت.» لەبەر ئەوەی بیری کردەوە و گوتی: «نەوەک ئەمیشیان وەک دوو براکەی بمرێت.» تاماریش چوو لە ماڵی باوکی دانیشت.
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.
دوای ماوەیەکی زۆر کچەکەی شوەع کە ژنی یەهودا بوو مرد. پاش ئەوەی خەم و پەژارەیی لە دڵی یەهودا ڕەوییەوە، لەگەڵ حیرەی عەدولامی چوو بۆ تیمنا، بۆ لای ئەوانەی خوری مەڕەکانیان بۆ دەبڕییەوە.
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.”
کاتێک بە تاماریان ڕاگەیاند: «وا خەزوورت هاتووە بۆ تیمنا، بۆ بڕینەوەی خوری مەڕەکانی،»
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.
ئەویش جلوبەرگی بێوەژنیی داکەند و ڕووی خۆی داپۆشی و خۆی پێچایەوە. پاشان لەبەر دەروازەی عێینەیم دانیشت، کە لەسەر ڕێگای تیمنایە، چونکە بینی وا شالەح گەورە بووە، کەچی ئەمیان نەدایێ ببێتە ژنی.
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)].
کە یەهودا تاماری بینی، وایزانی لەشفرۆشە، چونکە ڕووی خۆی داپۆشیبوو.
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?”
ئیتر لەسەر ڕێگاکە لایدا بەلای ئەودا و پێی گوت: «وەرە با سەرجێییت لەگەڵ بکەم،» چونکە نەیزانی ئەوە بووکەکەیەتی. ئەویش پێی گوت: «چیم پێدەدەیت بۆ ئەوەی سەرجێییم لەگەڵ بکەیت؟»
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?”
ئەویش گوتی: «لە ماڵاتەکەم گیسکێکت بۆ دەنێرم.» ئەمیش گوتی: «ئەی شتێکم وەک بارمتە دەدەیتێ هەتا دەینێریت؟»
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.
ئەویش گوتی: «چ بارمتەیەکت بدەمێ؟» ئەمیش گوتی: «مۆر و قەیتان و گۆچانەکەی دەستت.» ئەویش ئەمانەی دایێ و سەرجێیی لەگەڵی کرد، ئیتر سکی لێی پڕبوو.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
ئینجا هەستا و ڕۆیشت، ڕووپۆشەکەی لە خۆی کردەوە و جلوبەرگی بێوەژنی لەبەرکردەوە.
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.
هەر لەو ماوەیەدا یەهودا گیسکەکەی بە هاوڕێ عەدولامییەکەیدا نارد بۆ ئەوەی بارمتەکە لە دەست ژنەکە وەربگرێتەوە. بەڵام ئەو نەیبینییەوە.
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!”
ئیتر پرسیاری لە خەڵکی ئەو ناوە کرد و گوتی: «ئەرێ ئەو ئافرەتە لەشفرۆشەی لە نزرگە لە کەناری ڕێی عێینەیم بوو لەکوێیە؟» ئەوانیش گوتیان: «ئەم ناوە هیچ ئافرەتێکی لەشفرۆشی لێ نەبووە.»
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.’”
ئەویش گەڕایەوە لای یەهودا و پێی گوت: «نەمبینییەوە. خەڵکەکەی ئەو ناوەش گوتیان:”هیچ ئافرەتی لەشفرۆش لەو ناوەدا نییە.“»
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.”
یەهوداش گوتی: «با بۆ خۆی هەڵیانبگرێت نەوەک ڕیسوا بین. ئەوەتا ئەم گیسکەم بۆ ناردووە، بەڵام تۆ ئەوت نەبینییەوە.»
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!”
نزیکەی سێ مانگ دوای ئەوە بە یەهودا ڕاگەیەنرا و گوترا: «تاماری بووکت لەشفرۆشی کردووە، بەهۆی ئەو لەشفرۆشییەوە سکیشی پڕە.» یەهوداش گوتی: «بیهێننە دەرەوە بۆ ئەوەی بسووتێنرێت!»
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?”
ئەوە بوو کە هێنرایە دەرەوە، ناردییە لای خەزووری و گوتی: «سکم لەو پیاوە پڕە کە خاوەنی ئەمانەیە.» هەروەها گوتی: «وردبەرەوە و بزانە ئەم مۆر و قەیتان و گۆچانە هی کێیە؟»
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.
یەهوداش ئەوانی ناسییەوە و گوتی: «ئەو لە من ڕاستودروستترە، لەبەر ئەوەی نەمداوە بە شالەحی کوڕم.» دوای ئەمە ئیتر سەرجێیی لەگەڵی نەکردەوە.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
کە هاتە سەر منداڵبوون، دووانەیەک لە سکی بوو.
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.”
لە کاتی منداڵبوونی یەکێکیان دەستی هێنایە دەرەوە، مامانەکەش دەزووێکی سووری لە دەستی بەست و گوتی: «ئەمەیان یەکەم جار هاتە دەرەوە.»
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].’
بەڵام کە دەستی کێشایەوە دواوە، براکەی هاتە دەرەوە، مامانەکەش گوتی: «ئەوە بۆ هەڵتکوتا، دەک هەڵبکوترێتە سەرت!» ئەمەیان ناونرا پێرێز.
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].’
لەدوای براکەی، کە دەزووە سوورەکە بە دەستییەوە بوو، هاتە دەرەوە. ئەمەشیان ناونرا زەرەح.
