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].
В то время Иуда отошел от братьев своих и поселился близ одного Одолламитянина, которому имя: Хира.
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 увидел там Иуда дочь одного Хананеянина, которому имя: Шуа; и взял ее и вошел к ней.
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
Она зачала и родила сына; и он нарек ему имя: Ир.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
И зачала опять, и родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: 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.
И еще родила сына третьего и нарекла ему имя: Шела. Иуда был в Хезиве, когда она родила его.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
И взял Иуда жену Иру, первенцу своему; имя ей Фамарь.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
Ир, первенец Иудин, был неугоден пред очами Господа, и умертвил его Господь.
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.”
И сказал Иуда Онану: войди к жене брата твоего, женись на ней, как деверь, и восстанови семя брату твоему.
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.
Онан знал, что семя будет не ему, и потому, когда входил к жене брата своего, изливал семя на землю, чтобы не дать семени брату своему.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
Зло было пред очами Господа то, что он делал; и Он умертвил и его.
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.
И сказал Иуда Фамари, невестке своей по смерти двух сыновей своих: живи вдовою в доме отца твоего, пока подрастет Шела, сын мой. Ибо он сказал в уме своем: не умер бы и он подобно братьям его. Фамарь пошла и стала жить в доме отца своего.
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.
Прошло много времени, и умерла дочь Шуи, жена Иудина. Иуда, утешившись, пошел в Фамну к стригущим скот его, сам и Хира, друг его, Одолламитянин.
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 уведомили Фамарь, говоря: вот, свекор твой идет в Фамну стричь скот свой.
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.
И сняла она с себя одежду вдовства своего, покрыла себя покрывалом и, закрывшись, села у ворот Енаима, что на дороге в Фамну. Ибо видела, что Шела вырос, и она не дана ему в жену.
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)].
И увидел ее Иуда и почел ее за блудницу, потому что она закрыла лице свое. И не узнал ее.
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?”
Он поворотил к ней и сказал: войду я к тебе. Ибо не знал, что это невестка его. Она сказала: что ты дашь мне, если войдешь ко мне?
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?”
Он сказал: я пришлю тебе козленка из стада моего. Она сказала: дашь ли ты мне залог, пока пришлешь?
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.
Он сказал: какой дать тебе залог? Она сказала: печать твою, и перевязь твою, и трость твою, которая в руке твоей. И дал он ей и вошел к ней; и она зачала от него.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
И, встав, пошла, сняла с себя покрывало свое и оделась в одежду вдовства своего.
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.
Иуда же послал козленка чрез друга своего Одолламитянина, чтобы взять залог из руки женщины, но он не нашел ее.
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!”
И спросил жителей того места, говоря: где блудница, которая была в Енаиме при дороге? Но они сказали: здесь не было блудницы.
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 возвратился он к Иуде и сказал: я не нашел ее; да и жители места того сказали: здесь не было блудницы.
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.”
Иуда сказал: пусть она возьмет себе, чтобы только не стали над нами смеяться; вот, я посылал этого козленка, но ты не нашел ее.
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!”
Прошло около трех месяцев, и сказали Иуде, говоря: Фамарь, невестка твоя, впала в блуд, и вот, она беременна от блуда. Иуда сказал: выведите ее, и пусть она будет сожжена.
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?”
Но когда повели ее, она послала сказать свекру своему: я беременна от того, чьи эти вещи. И сказала: узнавай, чья эта печать и перевязь и трость.
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.
Иуда узнал и сказал: она правее меня, потому что я не дал ее Шеле, сыну моему. И не познавал ее более.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
Во время родов ее оказалось, что близнецы в утробе ее.
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 во время родов ее показалась рука одного; и взяла повивальная бабка и навязала ему на руку красную нить, сказав: этот вышел первый.
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].’
Но он возвратил руку свою; и вот, вышел брат его. И она сказала: как ты расторг себе преграду? И наречено ему имя: 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].’
Потом вышел брат его с красной нитью на руке. И наречено ему имя: Зара.
