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].
Бысть же в то время, отиде Иуда от братии своея и прииде к человеку некоему Одолламитину, емуже имя Ирас:
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 виде тамо Иуда дщерь человека Хананейска, ейже имя Сава: и поят ю, и вниде к ней:
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
и заченши роди сына, и нарече имя ему Ир:
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
и заченши еще роди сына и нарече имя ему Авнан:
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 приложивши роди сына (третияго) и нарече имя Силом: сия же бе в Хасве, егда роди сих.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
И поя Иуда жену Иру первенцу своему, ейже имя Фамарь.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
Бысть же Ир первенец Иудин зол пред Господем: и уби его Бог.
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.”
Рече же Иуда Авнану: вниди к жене брата твоего и совокупися с нею, и возстави 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.
Познав же Авнан, яко не ему будет семя, бысть егда вхождаше к жене брата своего, проливаше (семя) на землю, еже не дати семене брату своему:
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
зло же явися пред Богом, яко сотвори сие: и умертви и сего.
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.
Рече же Иуда Фамари, невестце своей (по смерти дву сынов своих): седи вдовою в дому отца твоего, дондеже велик будет Силом, сын мой. Рече бо (во уме си): да не когда умрет и сей, якоже и братия его. Отшедши же Фамарь, седяше в дому 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.
Умножишася же дние, и умре Сава жена Иудина. И утешився Иуда, взыде к стригущым овцы его сам, и Ирас пастырь его Одолламитин, во Фамну.
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 возвестиша Фамари невестце его, глаголюще: се, свекор твой восходит во Фамну стрищи овцы своя.
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.
Она же свергши ризы вдовства с себе, облечеся в ризу летнюю и украсися, и седе пред враты Енани, яже суть на пути Фамны: ведяше бо, яко велик бысть Силом: сей же не даде ея 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 видев ю Иуда, возмне ю блудницу быти: покры бо лице свое, и не позна ея.
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?”
Уклонися же к ней путем и рече ей: попусти ми внити к себе. Не позна бо, яко невестка ему есть. Она же рече: что ми даси, аще внидеши 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 же рече: аз тебе послю козлище коз от овец моих. Она же рече: аще даси ми залог, дондеже пришлеши.
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 же рече: кий залог тебе дам? Она же рече: перстень твой и гривну, и жезл иже в руце твоей. И даде ей, и вниде к ней, и зача во утробе от него.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
И воставши отиде, и сверже ризу летнюю с себе и облечеся в ризы 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.
Посла же Иуда козлище от коз рукою пастыря своего Одолламитина взяти залог от жены, и не обрете ея.
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!”
Вопроси же мужей места того и рече им: где есть блудница бывшая во Енане на распутии? И реша: не бе зде блудница.
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 возвратися ко Иуде и рече: не обретох: и человецы места того глаголют: несть зде 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.”
Рече же Иуда: да имать та: но да не когда посмеются нам: аз убо послах козлище сие, ты же не обрел еси.
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!”
Бысть же по трех месяцех, поведаша Иуде, глаголюще: соблуди Фамарь невестка твоя, и се, во утробе имать от блуда. Рече же Иуда: изведите ю, и да сожгут ю.
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?”
Она же ведома посла к свекру своему, глаголющи: от человека, егоже сия суть, аз во утробе имам. И рече: познай, чий перстень и гривна и жезл сей.
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.
Позна же Иуда и рече: оправдася Фамарь паче мене, яко не дах ея Силому сыну моему. И не приложи ктому познати ю.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
Бысть же егда раждаше, и беста близнята во утробе ея.
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.”
Бысть же в рождении ея, един произнесе руку: вземши же баба навяза на руку его червлень, глаголющи: сей изыдет 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].’
Егда же вовлече руку, и абие изыде брат его. Она же рече: что пресечеся тебе ради преграждение? И прозва имя ему 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].’
И посем изыде брат его, емуже бе на руце его червлень: и прозва имя ему Зара.
