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].
E aconteceu naquele tempo, que Judá desceu da presença de seus irmãos, e foi-se a um homem adulamita, que se chamava Hira.
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,
E viu ali Judá a filha de um homem cananeu, o qual se chamava Sua; e tomou-a, e se deitou com ela:
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
A qual concebeu, e deu à luz um filho; e chamou seu nome Er.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
E concebeu outra vez, e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Onã.
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.
E voltou a conceber, e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Selá. E estava em Quezibe quando o deu à luz.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
E Judá tomou mulher para seu primogênito Er, a qual se chamava Tamar.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
E Er, o primogênito de Judá, foi mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e tirou-lhe o SENHOR a vida.
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.”
Então Judá disse a Onã: Deita-te com mulher de teu irmão, e casa-te com ela, e suscita descendência a teu irmão.
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.
E sabendo Onã que a descendência não havia de ser sua, sucedia que quando se deitava com mulher de seu irmão derramava em terra, para não dar descendência a seu irmão.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
E desagradou aos olhos do SENHOR o que fazia, e também tirou a ele a vida.
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.
E Judá disse a Tamar sua nora: Fica-te viúva em casa de teu pai, até que cresça Selá meu filho; porque disse: Para que não aconteça que morra ele também como seus irmãos. E foi-se Tamar, e ficou em casa de seu pai.
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.
E passaram muitos dias, e morreu a filha de Sua, mulher de Judá; e Judá se consolou, e subia aos tosquiadores de suas ovelhas a Timna, ele e seu amigo Hira o adulamita.
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.”
E foi dado aviso a Tamar, dizendo: Eis que teu sogro sobe a Timna a tosquiar suas ovelhas.
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.
Então tirou ela de sobre si as roupas de sua viuvez, e cobriu-se com um véu, e envolveu-se, e se pôs à porta das águas que estão junto ao caminho de Timna; porque via que havia crescido Selá, e ela não era dada a ele por mulher.
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)].
E viu-a Judá, e teve-a por prostituta, porque havia ela coberto seu rosto.
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?”
E desviou-se do caminho até ela, e disse-lhe: Eia, pois, agora deitarei contigo; porque não sabia que era sua nora; e ela disse: Que me darás, se deitares comigo?
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?”
Ele respondeu: Eu te enviarei do gado um cabrito das cabras. E ela disse: Terás de me dar penhor até que o envies.
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.
Então ele disse: Que penhor te darei? Ela respondeu: Teu anel, e teu manto, e teu bordão que tens em tua mão. E ele lhe deu, e se deitou com ela, a qual concebeu dele.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
E levantou-se, e foi-se: e tirou o véu de sobre si, e vestiu-se das roupas de sua viuvez.
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.
E Judá enviou o cabrito das cabras por meio de seu amigo o adulamita, para que tomasse o penhor da mão da mulher; mas não a achou.
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!”
E perguntou aos homens daquele lugar, dizendo: Onde está a prostituta das águas junto ao caminho? E eles lhe disseram: Não esteve aqui prostituta.
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.’”
Então ele se voltou a Judá, e disse: Não a achei; e também os homens do lugar disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta.
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.”
E Judá disse: Tome ela dessas coisas para si, para que não sejamos menosprezados: eis que eu enviei este cabrito, e tu não a achaste.
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!”
E aconteceu que ao fim de uns três meses foi dado aviso a Judá, dizendo: Tamar tua nora cometeu imoralidade sexual, e além disso está grávida das promiscuidades. E Judá disse: Tirai-a, e seja queimada.
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?”
E ela quando a tiravam, enviou a dizer a seu sogro: Do homem a quem pertence estas coisas, estou grávida: e disse mais: Olha agora a quem pertence estas coisas, o anel, e o manto, e o bordão.
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.
Então Judá os reconheceu, e disse: Mais justa é que eu, porquanto não a dei a Selá meu filho. E nunca mais a conheceu.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
E aconteceu que ao tempo de dar à luz, eis que havia dois em seu ventre.
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.”
E sucedeu, quando dava à luz, que tirou a mão um, e a parteira tomou e amarrou à sua mão um fio de escarlate, dizendo: Este saiu primeiro.
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].’
Porém foi que voltando ele a recolher a mão, eis que seu irmão saiu; e ela disse: Como fizeste sobre ti rompimento? E chamou seu nome Perez.
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].’
E depois saiu seu irmão, o que tinha em sua mão o fio de escarlate, e chamou seu nome Zerá.
