< Genesis 38 >

1 At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
و واقع شد در آن زمان که یهودا ازنزد برادران خود رفته، نزد شخصی عدلامی، که حیره نام داشت، مهمان شد.۱
2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
و درآنجا یهودا، دختر مرد کنعانی را که مسمی به شوعه بود، دید و او را گرفته، بدو درآمد.۲
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
پس آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را عیر نام نهاد.۳
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
وبار دیگر آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را اونان نامید.۴
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
و باز هم پسری زاییده، او را شیله نام گذارد. و چون او را زایید، یهودا در کزیب بود.۵
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
و یهودا، زنی مسمی به تامار، برای نخست زاده خود عیر گرفت.۶
7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him.
و نخست زاده یهودا، عیر، در نظر خداوند شریر بود، و خداونداو را بمیراند.۷
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.”
پس یهودا به اونان گفت: «به زن برادرت درآی، و حق برادر شوهری را بجاآورده، نسلی برای برادر خود پیدا کن.»۸
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.
لکن چونکه اونان دانست که آن نسل از آن او نخواهدبود، هنگامی که به زن برادر خود درآمد، بر زمین انزال کرد، تا نسلی برای برادر خود ندهد.۹
10 The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.
و این کار او در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد، پس او را نیزبمیراند.۱۰
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.
و یهودا به عروس خود، تامار گفت: «در خانه پدرت بیوه بنشین تا پسرم شیله بزرگ شود.» زیرا گفت: «مبادا او نیز مثل برادرانش بمیرد.» پس تامار رفته، در خانه پدر خود ماند.۱۱
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.
و چون روزها سپری شد، دختر شوعه زن یهودا مرد. و یهودا بعد از تعزیت او با دوست خود حیره عدلامی، نزد پشم‌چینان گله خود، به تمنه آمد.۱۲
13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
و به تامار خبر داده، گفتند: «اینک پدرشوهرت برای چیدن پشم گله خویش، به تمنه می‌آید.»۱۳
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.
پس رخت بیوگی را از خویشتن بیرون کرده، برقعی به رو کشیده، خود را درچادری پوشید، و به دروازه عینایم که در راه تمنه است، بنشست. زیرا که دید شیله بزرگ شده است، و او را به وی به زنی ندادند.۱۴
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
چون یهودااو را بدید، وی را فاحشه پنداشت، زیرا که روی خود را پوشیده بود.۱۵
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?”
پس از راه به سوی او میل کرده، گفت: «بیا تابه تو درآیم.» زیرا ندانست که عروس اوست. گفت: «مرا چه می‌دهی تا به من درآیی.»۱۶
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?”
گفت: «بزغاله‌ای از گله می‌فرستم.» گفت: «آیا گرومی دهی تا بفرستی.»۱۷
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.
گفت: «تو را چه گرودهم.» گفت: «مهر و زنار خود را و عصایی که دردست داری.» پس به وی داد، و بدو درآمد، و او ازوی آبستن شد.۱۸
19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
و برخاسته، برفت. و برقع را ازخود برداشته، رخت بیوگی پوشید.۱۹
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.
و یهودا بزغاله را به‌دست دوست عدلامی خود فرستاد، تا گرو را از دست آن زن بگیرد، امااو را نیافت.۲۰
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.”
و از مردمان آن مکان پرسیده، گفت: «آن فاحشه‌ای که سر راه عینایم نشسته بود، کجاست؟» گفتند: «فاحشه‌ای در اینجا نبود.»۲۱
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.’”
پس نزد یهودا برگشته، گفت: «او را نیافتم، ومردمان آن مکان نیز می‌گویند که فاحشه‌ای دراینجا نبود.»۲۲
23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”
یهودا گفت: «بگذار برای خودنگاه دارد، مبادا رسوا شویم. اینک بزغاله رافرستادم و تو او را نیافتی.»۲۳
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.”
و بعد از سه ماه یهودا را خبر داده، گفتند: «عروس تو تامار، زناکرده است و اینک از زنا نیز آبستن شده.» پس یهودا گفت: «وی را بیرون آرید تا سوخته شود!»۲۴
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.”
چون او را بیرون می‌آوردند نزد پدر شوهر خود فرستاده، گفت: «از مالک این چیزها آبستن شده‌ام، و گفت: «تشخیص کن که این مهر و زنار وعصا از آن کیست.»۲۵
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.
و یهودا آنها را شناخت، وگفت: «او از من بی‌گناه تر است، زیرا که او را به پسر خود شیله ندادم. و بعد او را دیگر نشناخت.۲۶
27 In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
و چون وقت وضع حملش رسید، اینک توامان در رحمش بودند.۲۷
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.”
و چون می‌زایید، یکی دست خود را بیرون آورد که در حال قابله ریسمانی قرمز گرفته، بر دستش بست و گفت: «این اول بیرون آمد.»۲۸
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.
و دست خود را بازکشید. و اینک برادرش بیرون آمد و قابله گفت: «چگونه شکافتی، این شکاف بر تو باد.» پس او را فارص نام نهاد.۲۹
30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
بعد از آن برادرش که ریسمان قرمز را بردست داشت بیرون آمد، و او را زارح نامید.۳۰
