Genesis 38

1 Yn the same tyme Judas yede doun fro his britheren, and turnede to a man of Odolla, Hiram bi name;

Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.

2 and he siy ther a douytir of a man of Canaan, Sue bi name. And whanne he hadde takun hir to wijf,

Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj

3 he entride to hir, and sche conseyuede, and childide a sone, and clepide his name Her.

te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.

4 And eft whanne a child was conseyued, sche nemyde the child borun Onam.

Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.

5 And sche childide the thridde sone, whom sche clepide Cela, and whanne he was borun, sche ceesside to bere child more.

Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.

6 Forsothe Judas yaf a wijf, `Thamar bi name, to his firste gendrid sone Her.

Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.

7 And Her, the firste gendrid sone of Judas, was weiward in the siyt of the Lord, and therfor he was slayn of the Lord.

Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.

8 Therfor Judas seide to Onam, his sone, Entre thou to the wijf of thi brothir, and be thou felouschipid to hir, that thou reise seed to thi brothir.

Tada reče Juda Onanu: “Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!”

9 And he wiste that sones schulden not be borun to him, `and he entride to the wijf of his brother, and schedde seed in to the erthe, lest the fre children schulden be borun bi the name of the brother;

Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.

10 and therfor the Lord smoot hym, for he dide abhomynable thing.

To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.

11 Wherfor Judas seide to Thamar, `wijf of his sone, Be thou widewe in the hous of thi fadir, til Sela my sone wexe, for he dredde lest also he schulde die as hise britheren. And sche yede, and dwellide in the hous of hir fadir.

Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: “Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela.” Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.

12 Forsothe whanne many yeeris weren passid, the douyter of Sue, `the wijf of Juda, diede, and whanne coumfort was takun aftir morenyng, he stiede to the schereris of hise scheep, he and Iras of Odolla, that was kepere of the floc, stieden in to Thampnas.

Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.

13 And it was teld to Thamar, that `the fadir of hir hosebonde stiede to Thampnas, to schere scheep.

Obavijeste Tamaru: “Eno ti je svekar”, rekoše joj, “na putu u Timnu da striže ovce.”

14 And sche dide awei the clothis of widewehod, and sche took a roket, and whanne the clothinge was chaungid, sche sat in the weilot that ledith to Tampna; for Sela hadde woxe, and sche hadde not take hym to hosebonde.

Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.

15 And whanne Judas hadde seyn hir, he supposide hir to be an hoore, for sche hadde hilid hir face, lest sche were knowun.

Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.

16 And Judas entride to hir, and seide, Suffre me that Y ligge with thee; for he wiste not that sche was the wijf of his sone. And whanne sche answeride, What schalt thou yyue to me, that thou ligge bi me?

Svrati se on k njoj i reče: “Daj da ti priđem!” Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: “Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?”

17 he seide, Y schal sende to thee a kide of the flockis. And eft whanne sche seide, Y schal suffre that that thou wolt, if thou schalt yyue to me a wed, til thou sendist that that thou bihetist.

“Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada”, odgovori. “Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ.”

18 Judas seide, What wolt thou that be youun to thee for a wed? She answeride, Thi ryng, and thi bie of the arm, and the staaf which thou holdist in the hond. Therfor the womman conseyuide at o liggyng bi, and sche roos, and yede;

A on zapita: “Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?” Ona odgovori: “Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci.” Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.

19 and whanne the clooth was `put awei which sche hadde take, sche was clothid in the clothis of widewhod.

Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.

20 Forsothe Judas sente a kide bi his scheepherde of Odolla, that he schulde resseyue the wed which he hadde youe to the womman; and whanne he hadde not founde hir,

Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.

21 he axide men of that place, Where is the womman that sat in the weie lot? And whanne alle men answeriden, An hoore was not in this place; he turnede ayen to Judas,

Upita ljude u mjestu: “Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?” Oni mu odgovore: “Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”

22 and seide to hym, Y foond not hir, but also men of that place seiden to me, that an hoore sat neuere there.

Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: “Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice.”

23 Judas seide, Haue sche to hir silf, certis sche may not repreue vs of a leesyng; Y sente the kyde which Y bihiyte, and thou foundist not hir.

Onda reče Juda: “Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao.”

24 Lo! sotheli aftir thre monethis thei telden to Judas, and seiden, Thamar, `wijf of thi sone, hath do fornycacioun, and hir womb semeth to wexe greet. Judas seide, Brynge ye hir forth, that sche be brent.

Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: “Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela.” “Izvedite je”, naredi Juda, “pa neka se spali!”

25 And whanne sche was led to peyne, sche sente to `the fadir of hir hosebonde, and seide, Y haue conseyued of the man, whose these thingis ben; knowe thou whose is the ryng, and bie of the arm, and staf?

Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: “Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo.” Još doda: “Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!”

26 And whanne the yiftis weren knowun, he seide, Sche is more iust than Y, for Y yaf not hir to Sela, my sone; netheles Judas knewe hir no more fleischli.

Juda ih prepozna pa reče: “Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu.” Ali više s njom nije imao posla.

27 Sotheli whanne the childberyng neiyede, twei chyldren apperiden in the wombe, and in that birthe of children, oon brouyte forth the hond, in which the mydwijf boond a reed threed,

Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.

28 and seide, This schal go out `the formere.

Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: “Ovaj je izišao prvi.”

29 Sotheli while he withdrowe the hond, the tother yede out, and the womman seide, Whi was the skyn in which the child lay in the wombe departid for thee? And for this cause sche clepide his name Fares.

Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: “Kakav li proder napravi!” Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.

30 Afterward his brothir yede out, in whos hond was the reed threed, whom sche clepide Zaram.

Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
