Genesis 38
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was] Hirah.
त्यस समयमा यहूदा आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई छोडेर हीरा नाउँ भएको कुनै एउटा अदुल्लामवासीकहाँ बस्दथे ।
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in to her.
त्यहाँ उनले एउटा कनानी मानिसकी छोरीलाई भेटे जसको नाम शूआ थियो । उनले तिनीसँग विवाह गरे र सहवास गरे ।
3 And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । त्यसको नाउँ एर् राखियो ।
4 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनले त्यसको नाउँ ओनान राखिन् ।
5 And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
तिनले फेरि अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् र त्यसको नाउँ शेलह राखिन् ।
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name [was] Tamar.
यहूदाले आफ्नो जेठो छोरा एर्को निम्ति एउटी पत्नी ल्याइदिए । तिनको नाउँ तामार थियो ।
7 And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
तर यहूदाको जेठो छोरो एर् परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट थियो । यसैकारण परमप्रभुले त्यसको प्राण लिनुभयो ।
8 And Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
यहूदाले ओनानलाई भने, “तँ आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्। आफ्नी भाउजूप्रति देवरको कर्तव्य पूरा गर्, र आफ्नो दाजुको निम्ति एउटा बालक हुर्का ।”
9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his: and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he frustrated the purpose, lest he should give seed to his brother.
त्यो बालक आफ्नो हुनेछैन भनेर ओनानलाई थाहा थियो । आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्दा दाजुको कुनै सन्तान नहोस् भनेर उसले आफ्नो वीर्य भुइँमा पतन गर्थ्यो ।
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
उसले जे गर्यो त्यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा खराब थियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसको पनि प्राण लिनुभयो ।
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son shall be grown; (for he said, Lest perhaps he die also as his brethren [did]: ) and Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
त्यसपछि यहूदाले आफ्नी बुहारी तामारलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो शेलह ठुलो नभएसम्म तिम्रा बुबाकै घरमा विधवा नै भएर बस ।” किनभने अरू दाजुहरूझैँ शेलह पनि मर्छ कि भनेर उनी डराए । त्यसैकारण तामार तिनका बुबाकै घरमा बसिन् ।
12 And in process of time, the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died: and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
त्यसको धेरै समयपछि शूआकी छोरी यहूदाकी पत्नीको मृत्यु भयो । यहूदाले शोक गरिसकेपछि उनी र उनका मित्र अदुल्लामवासी हीराका साथ आफ्ना भेडा कत्रनेहरूकहाँ तिम्नामा गए ।
13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath, to shear his sheep.
तामारलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर, तिम्रा ससुरा आफ्ना भेडा कत्रन तिम्ना जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
14 And she put off from her, her widow's garments, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which [is] by the way to Timnath: for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
तिनले विधवाको वस्त्र फुकालिन्, घुम्टोले आफ्नो टाउको र अनुहार ढाकिन् र अरूहरूले तिनलाई नचिनून् भनेर आफैँलाई कपडाले ढाकिन् । तिनी तिम्नाको बाटोमा रहेको एनैमको द्वारमा बसिन् । किनकि शेलह ठुलो भइसकेका तर तिनलाई उनकी पत्नी हुनलाई नदिइएको तिनले देखिन् ।
15 When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] a harlot; because she had covered her face.
जब यहूदाले तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाकेकी हुनाले तिनलाई एउटा वेश्या ठाने ।
16 And he turned to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me have access to thee; (for he knew not that she [was] his daughter-in-law: ) and she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayst have access to me?
तिनी आफ्नी बुहारी हुन् भन्ने थाहा नभएर उनी तिनीकहाँ सडकको किनारमा गए र भने, “आऊ, मलाई तिमीसँग सुत्न देऊ” अनि तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईं मसँग सुत्नका लागि मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ?”
17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid from the flock: and she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou sendest [it]?
उनले भने, “म तिम्रो निम्ति बगालबाट एउटा पाठो दिनेछु ।” तिनले भनिन्, “के तपाईंले त्यो मकहाँ नपठाउन्जेल केही बन्धक राख्नुहुनेछ?”
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? and she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in thy hand: and he gave [them to] her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
उनले भने, “म तिमीलाई बन्धकको रूपमा के दिऊँ?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “तपाईंको छाप, त्यसको डोरी, र तपाईंको हातमा भएको त्यो लौरो ।” उनले ती सबै तिनलाई दिए र तिनीसँग सुते, अनि तिनी उनीद्वारा गर्भवती भइन् ।
19 And she arose and went her way and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
त्यसपछि तिनी उठेर गइहालिन् । तिनले आफ्नो घुम्टो हटाएर विधवाको वस्त्र लगाइन् ।
20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
यहूदाले ती स्त्रीका हातबाट बन्धकमा रहेका सामान प्राप्त गर्न आफ्ना मित्र अदुल्लामवासीसँग एउटा पाठो पठाए, तर उनले तिनलाई भेट्टाएनन् ।
21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, where [is] the harlot that [was] openly by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot in this [place].
त्यसपछि त्यस अदुल्लामवासीले त्यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई सोधे, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने त्यो वेश्या कहाँ गई जो सडक नजिक एनैममा थिई?” तिनीहरूले भने, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन ।”
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in this [place].
उनी यहूदाकहाँ फर्के र भने, “मैले त्यसलाई भेट्टाइनँ । र त्यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले पनि भने, ‘मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन’ ।”
23 And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
यहूदाले भने, “त्यसले नै ती सामानहरू राखोस्, र हामी शर्ममा पर्नेछैनौँ । मैले त यो पाठो पठाएकै हो, तर तिमीले त्यसलाई भेट्टाएनौ ।”
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told to Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, behold she [is] with child by lewdness: and Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
त्यसको करिब तिन महिनापछि यहूदालाई भनियो, “तपाईंकी बुहारी तामारले वेश्याकर्म गरेकी छे, र त्यो गर्भवती भएकी छे ।” यहूदाले भने, “त्यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याओ र त्यसलाई जलाइयोस् ।”
25 When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man whose these [are], am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
जब तिनलाई ल्याइँदै थियो, तिनले आफ्नो ससुरालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए, “यी सामानहरू जसका हुन् म त्यही मानिसद्वारा गर्भवती भएकी हुँ ।” तिनले भनिन्, “यो छाप, त्यसको डोरी र यो लौरो कसका हुन् कृपया पत्ता लगाइदिनुहोस् ।”
26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son: and he knew her again no more.
यहूदाले ती सामानहरू चिने र भने, “मैले यिनलाई मेरो छोरो शेलहकी पत्नी हुन नदिएको हुनाले यिनी मभन्दा पनि धेरै धर्मी छिन्, ।” त्यसपछि उनी कहिल्यै तिनीसँग सुतेनन् ।
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that behold, twins [were] in her womb.
तिनको बच्चा जन्माउने समय भयो । तिनको गर्भमा जुम्ल्याहा थियो ।
28 And it came to pass when she travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
तिनले बच्चा जन्माइरहँदा एउटाले आफ्नो हात बाहिर निकाल्यो, र सुँडेनीले एउटा गाढा रातो धागो लिएर त्यसको हातमा बाँधिदिएर भनी, “योचाहिँ पहिले बाहिर आयो ।”
29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
तर त्यसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो हात भित्र लग्यो, र त्यसको भाइ पहिला बाहिर निस्कियो । सुँडेनीले अचम्म मानेर भनी, “यो कसरी पहिला बाहिर आयो!” यसैकारण त्यसको नाउँ फारेस राखियो ।
30 And afterwards came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zarah.
त्यसपछि हातमा गाढा रातो धागो भएको त्यसको दाजु बाहिर आयो, र त्यसको नाउँ जेरह राखियो ।
