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].
Naquela época, Judah desceu de seus irmãos e visitou um certo Adullamite, cujo nome era Hirah.
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,
Ali, Judah viu a filha de um certo cananeu chamado Shua. Ele a levou, e foi até ela.
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
Ela concebeu, e deu à luz um filho; e ele o chamou de Er.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
Ela concebeu novamente, e deu à luz um filho; e ela lhe deu o nome de Onan.
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.
Ela mais uma vez deu à luz um filho, e ele lhe deu o nome de Selá. Ele estava em Chezib quando ela o deu à luz.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
Judah tomou uma esposa para Er, seu primogênito, e seu nome era Tamar.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
Er, o primogênito de Judah, era perverso aos olhos de Iavé. Então Yahweh o matou.
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.”
Judah disse a Onan: “Vá até a esposa de seu irmão e cumpra o dever de irmão de um marido para com ela, e crie descendência para seu 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.
Onan sabia que a prole não seria dele; e quando ele foi até a esposa de seu irmão, derramou seu sêmen no chão, para não dar a prole para seu irmão.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
O que ele fez foi mal aos olhos de Iavé, e ele também o matou.
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.
Então Judah disse a Tamar, sua nora: “Fique viúva na casa de seu pai, até que Selá, meu filho, seja adulto”; pois ele disse: “Para que ele não morra também, como seus irmãos”. Tamar foi morar na 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.
Após muitos dias, a filha de Shua, a esposa de Judah, morreu. Judah foi consolado, e subiu para seus tosquiadores de ovelhas para Timnah, ele e seu amigo Hirah, o adullamita.
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.”
Foi dito a Tamar: “Eis que seu sogro está subindo para Timnah para 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.
Ela tirou as vestes de sua viuvez, cobriu-se com seu véu, embrulhou-se e sentou-se no portão de Enaim, que está a caminho de Timnah; pois ela viu que Selá era adulto e não foi dada a ele como esposa.
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)].
Quando Judah a viu, ele pensou que ela era uma prostituta, pois ela havia 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?”
A propósito, ele se voltou para ela e disse: “Por favor, venha, deixe-me ir até você”, pois ele não sabia que ela era sua nora. Ela disse: “O que você vai me dar, para que você possa vir até mim”?
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 disse: “Eu lhe enviarei um cabrito do rebanho”. Ela disse: “Você vai me dar uma promessa, até que você a envie?”
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.
Ele disse: “Que promessa eu lhe darei?” Ela disse: “Seu selo e seu cordão, e seu pessoal que está em suas mãos”. Ele os deu a ela, e ela veio até ela, e ela concebeu por ele.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
Ela se levantou, foi embora, tirou-lhe o véu e vestiu as vestes 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.
Judah enviou a cabra jovem pela mão de seu amigo, o Adullamita, para receber o penhor da mão da mulher, mas ele não a encontrou.
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!”
Então ele perguntou aos homens de sua casa, dizendo: “Onde está a prostituta, que estava em Enaim à beira da estrada?”. Eles disseram: “Não tem havido aqui nenhuma 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.’”
Ele voltou para Judah, e disse: “Não a encontrei; e também os homens do lugar disseram: 'Não houve prostituta aqui'”.
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.”
Judah disse: “Deixe-a ficar com ela, para que não tenhamos vergonha”. Eis que eu enviei esta cabra jovem, e vocês não a encontraram”.
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!”
Cerca de três meses depois, Judah foi informado: “Tamar, sua nora, interpretou a prostituta. Além disso, eis que ela está com a criança pela prostituição”. Judah disse: “Tragam-na para fora e deixem-na ser 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?”
Quando ela foi trazida para fora, ela enviou para seu sogro, dizendo: “Estou com a criança pelo homem que é dono disto”. Ela também disse: “Por favor, discernam de quem são estes: o sinete, os cordões e o pessoal”.
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.
Judah os reconheceu e disse: “Ela é mais justa do que eu, porque eu não a dei a Selá, meu filho”. Ele não a conhecia mais.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
Na época de seu trabalho, eis que os gêmeos estavam 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.”
Quando ela viajou, um estendeu uma mão e a parteira pegou e amarrou um fio escarlate em sua mão, dizendo: “Isto 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].’
Quando ele puxou sua mão para trás, eis que seu irmão saiu, e ela disse: “Por que você fez uma brecha para si mesmo?”. Portanto, seu nome foi chamado 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].’
Depois, seu irmão saiu, que tinha o fio escarlate na mão, e seu nome se chamava Zerah.
