< Genesis 38 >

1 At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Ie henane zay, nienga amo rahalahi’eo t’Iehodà nitsile mb’ ami’ty nte-Adolame atao Hirà.
2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
Le nitendreke anak’ampela nte-Kanàne atao Soae t’Iehodà; le nengae’e vaho nimoak’ ama’e.
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
Niaren-dre, nisamak’ anadahy; le natao’e Ere ty aña­ra’e.
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
Niareñe indrai­ke re nahatoly ana-dahy, le natao’e Onane ty aña­ra’e.
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Mbe nahatoly ana-dahy in­draike re le natao’e Selà ty añara’e. Te Kezibe añe t’ie nahatoly aze.
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Nangala-baly ho a i Ere, tañoloñoloña’ey t’Iehodà; Tamare ty añara’e.
7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him.
Fe nilo-tserek’ am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà t’i Ere, tañolo­ñoloña’ Iehodày, vaho navetra’ Iehovà.
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.”
Le hoe t’Iehodà amy Onane, Mimoaha amy valin-joke’oy vaho rañaoto, hampitroara’o tariratse ho a i rahalahi’oy.
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.
Aa kanao napota’ i Onane te tsy ho aze i tiry zay, le ie nizilik’ amy valin-joke’ey ao, naria’e an-tane ty rompilahia’e, tsy mone hanolo-tariratse aman-drahalahi’e.
10 The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.
Tsy ninò’ Iehovà i sata’ey, le navetra’e ka.
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.
Aa hoe t’Iehodà amy Tamare vinanto’e, Mitoboha ho ramavoiñe añ’anjomban-drae’o ao ampara’ te añoñ’ay t’i Selà, ie niereñere’e ty hoe: Hera ho simba ka re manahake i zoke’ey. Aa le nimb’eo t’i Tamare nimo­neñe añ’anjomban-drae’e añe.
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.
Ie roñoñe añe, le nihomake ka ty vali’ Iehodà, anak’ ampela’ i Soae; aa ie nanintsiñe t’Iehodà, le nionjoñe mb’e Timnà mb’amo mpañitsi-bolon’ añondri’eo mb’eo rekets’ i Hirà nte-Adolame rañe’ey.
13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
Le nitalilieñ’ amy Tamare ty hoe, Inao, mionjomb’e Timnà ty rae’o hañitsike o añondri’eo.
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.
Aa le nafaha’e o lamban-dramavoi’eo, naho nanakon-daharañe an-damba marerarera, naho nifolonkoñe, vaho nitobok’ an-dalam-bei’ i Enaime, amy lala-mb’e Timnày. Toe niisa’e fa ajalahy t’i Selà f’ie tsy nampañengaeñe aze ho vali’e.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
Tendrek’ aze t’Iehodà, le natao’e ho tsimirirañe amy t’ie nisaron-doha.
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?”
Nivike mb’ama’e añ’olo’ i lalañe mb’eo re, nanao ty hoe, Mimetea hiolorako, fe ninofi’e t’ie vinanto ampela’e. Hoe re, Ino ty anangea’o ahy, hiharoa’o?
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?”
Hoe ty natoi’e, Hampisangitrifeko vi’e boak’ amy lia-raikey. Le hoe re, Tsy ho mea’o tsoake hey hao ampara’ te hahitri’o?
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.
Hoe re, Tsoake manao akore ty hatoloko azo? Natoi’e ty hoe, O bangem-pitombo’oo naho i tali’oy vaho o kobaiñe am-pità’oo. Aa le natolo’e aze, naho niolots’ ama’e; vaho nampiareñe’e.
19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Niongake re, nienga; le nafaha’e i marerareray, vaho naombe’e indraike o lamban-dramavoi’eo.
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.
Nampihitrife’ Iehodà am-pità’ i nte-Ado­lame rañe’ey ty vi’e, hañavake i tsoak’ an-taña’ i rakembaiy, f’ie tsy nirendreke.
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.”
Aa le nañontanea’e ondaty amy toetseio ty hoe, Aia i tsimiriran-kazomanga te Enaime tañ’ olon-dalañey? le hoe iereo, Tsy aman-tsimiriran-kazomanga ty atoy.
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.’”
Aa le nibalike mb’ am’ Iehodà añe re nita­lily ty hoe: Tsy nirendreko, vaho nanao ty hoe amako ondaty an-drova ao, Tsy aman-tsimiriran-kazomanga ty atoy.
23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”
Hoe ty natoi’ Iehodà, Angao rambese’e ho ama’e i raha rezay tsy mone hiankahafañe; hehe te nampihitrifeko mb’ama’e ty vi’e f’ie tsy nioni’o.
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 burned.”
Ie añe ty telo volañe, le natalily am’ Iehodà ty hoe, Nañarapilo­ t’i Tamare vinanto’oy, ie mivesa­tse ty amy hatsimirira’ey. Le hoe t’Iehodà, Akaro re ho forototoeñe.
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.”
Ie nakareñe, le nañitrifa’e saontsy i rafoza’ey, ami’ty hoe, Ty tompo’ o raha rezao ro nampive­satse ahiko. Natovo’e ty hoe, Ehe hotsohotso hey, ia ty tompo’ o bange-pitombokeo, o talio, vaho o kobaiñeo?
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.
Niantofa’ Iehodà i raha rey vaho nanao ty hoe, Mahity te amako re amy te tsy natoloko aze i Selà anakoy. Fe tsy niolora’e ka.
27 In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
Tondroke amy fisamaha’e te inay, hambañe ty an-kovi’e ao.
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.”
Aa ie nitsongo, nakare’ ty raike ty taña’e vaho finehe’ i mpanahay fole mena i taña­ñey le nanao ty hoe, Itoy ty niakatse valoha’e.
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.
Aa ie nanintoñe i taña’ey, le hehe te nipotitse eo ty zai’e, vaho hoe re, Akore ty niboroboñafa’o? ho ama’o o jebañe zao. Aa le natao ty hoe ­Perètse ty añara’e.
30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
Niboake nandimbe aze i rahalahi’ey ninday i fole menay an-taña’ey, le natao Zeràke ty añara’e.
