Genesis 38
1 At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Joda dia nidina niala teo amin’ ny rahalahiny ka lasa nanatona ny lehilahy Adolamita anankiray. Hira no anarany.
2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
Ary teo no nahitan’ i Joda ny zanakavavin’ i Soa, lehilahy Kananita anankiray; dia naka azy izy ka nanambady azy.
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
Dia nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Era.
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Onana.
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray koa izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Sela; ary Joda nitoetra tany Keziba tamin’ ny niterahan’ ny vadiny an’ i Sela.
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Ary Joda naka vady ho an’ i Era lahimatoany, Tamara no anarany.
7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him.
Fa ratsy fanahy teo imason’ i Jehovah Era, lahimatoan’ i Joda; dia novonoin’ i Jehovah izy.
8 Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Onana: Vadio ny vadin’ ny rahalahinao, ka ento loloha izy, dia velomy maso ny rahalahinao.
9 Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.
Ary fantatr’ i Onana fa tsy ho azy tsinona ny zaza; koa raha nandry tamin’ ny vadin’ ny rahalahiny izy, dia nandraraka tamin’ ny tany mba tsy hiterahany zanaka ho an’ ny rahalahiny.
10 The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.
Ary ratsy teo imason’ i Jehovah izay nataony; ka dia novonoiny koa izy.
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Tamara vinantoni-vavy: Tomoera ho mpitondratena ao an-tranon-drainao mandra-pahalehiben’ i Sela zanako-lahy (fa hoy izy: Fandrao maty koa tahaka ny rahalahiny izy); dia nandeha Tamara ka nitoetra tao an-tranon-drainy.
12 After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.
Ary rehefa ela, dia maty ny vadin’ i Joda, dia ilay zanakavavin’ i Soa; ary rehefa nionona ny alahelon’ i Joda, dia niakatra tany amin’ ny mpanety ondriny tany Timna izy sy Hira Adolamita sakaizany.
13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
Dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Tamara hoe Indro, ny rafozanao miakatra ho any Timna hanety ny ondriny.
14 She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.
Ary nanaisotra ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena izy, dia nisarona fisalobonana ka nisalobona, dia nipetraka teo am-bavahadin’ i Enaima, izay eo amin’ ny lalana mankany Timna; satria efa hitan’ i Tamara fa efa lehibe Sela, nefa tsy mbola nomen’ i Joda ho vadin’ i Sela izy.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
Ary hitan’ i Joda izy ka nataony fa vehivavy janga, satria efa nanarona ny tavany izy.
16 He turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
Dia nivily nanatona azy teo amoron-dalana Joda ka nanao hoe: Aoka mba handry aminao aho (fa tsy fantany ho vinantony izy); dia hoy kosa ravehivavy: Inona ary no homenao ahy, raha handry amiko ianao?
17 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”
Dia hoy izy: Hampanatitra zanak’ osy avy amin’ ny ondry aman’ osy aho. Fa hoy kosa ravehivavy: Hanome fampitanana va ianao mandra-pampanatitrao azy?
18 He said, “What pledge will I give you?” She said, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
Ary hoy izy: Inona no fampitanana homeko anao? Ary hoy ravehivavy: Ny fanombohan-kasenao sy ny kofehinao ary iny tehinao eny an-tananao iny. Ary nomeny azy ireny, dia nandry taminy izy, ka nanan’ anaka taminy ravehivavy.
19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Ary niainga ravehivavy ka lasa nandeha, dia nanala ny fisalobonana izay notafiny ka niakanjo ny akanjony fanaon’ ny mpitondratena indray.
20 Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t find her.
Dia nampitondrain’ i Joda ilay Adolamita sakaizany ny zanak’ osy, hangalany ilay fampitanana amin-dravehivavy; kanjo tsy hitany izy.
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?” They said, “There has been no prostitute here.”
Dia nanontany ny olona teo amin’ ny fonenan-dravehivavy izy ka nanao hoe: Aiza moa ilay vehivavy janga izay tamoron-dalana teo Enaima? Fa hoy ny olona: Tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
22 He returned to Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”
Dia niverina tany amin’ i Joda izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy nahita azy aho; ary nolazain’ ny olona tompon-tany fa tsy nisy vehivavy janga teo.
23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”
Dia hoy Joda: Aoka ho lasany ho azy, fandrao ho afa-baraka isika; indro, efa nampanateriko ity zanak’ osy ity, nefa ianao tsy nahita an-dravehivavy.
24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burnt.”
Ary rehefa afaka tokony ho telo volana, dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Joda hoe: Efa nijangajanga Tamara vinantovavinao; ka indro, efa manan’ anaka tamin’ ny fijangajangana izy. Dia hoy Joda: Avoahy izy hodorana.
25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”
Ary rehefa navoaka izy, dia naniraka tany amin’ ny rafozany ka nanao hoe: Ny lehilahy izay tompon’ ireto no nananako anaka; ary hoy koa izy: Masìna ianao, fantaro izay tompon’ ireto fanombohan-kase sy kofehy ary tehina ireto.
26 Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.
Dia nahafantatra ireo Joda ka nanao hoe: Marina noho izaho izy, satria tsy nomeko ho vadin’ i Sela zanako. Dia tsy nandry taminy intsony izy.
27 In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
Ary tamin’ ny andro niterahany, indro, nisy zaza kambana tao an-kibony.
28 When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This came out first.”
Ary raha niteraka izy, dia niseho ny tanan’ ny anankiray, ary naka kofehy mena ny mpampivelona, ka nafehiny tamin’ ny tànany, sady hoy izy: Ity no niseho voalohany.
29 As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.
Ary rehefa nahemony ny tànany, dia, indro, teraka ny rahalahiny; ary hoy ny mpampivelona: Ahoana no nibosesehanao? dia nataony hoe Fareza no anarany.
30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia teraka koa ny rahalahiny, izay nisy ilay kofehy mena tamin’ ny tànany; dia nataony hoe Zera no anarany.
