< Genesis 38 >
1 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Judah goeth down from his brethren, and turneth aside unto a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] Hirah;
Hiche phat laitah chun Judah chun asopite adalhan Adullan kiti muna Hirah kitipa toh ana cheng khom lhon in ahi.
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
Chule Judah in Canan numei amin Shua kitinu chu aki chenpin chule ana kiti matpi tan ahi.
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
Amanu chu ahung kivopmon nao ahin neitan chule nao min chu Er asahtan ahi.
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
Chuin amanu akivopmo kit in nao pasal khat ahin hinbekit in nao min chu Onam asah tai.
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Abanin amanun nao pasal athum lhinna pachu amin Sheila asah in, Sheila apen lai tah a chu amaho Kezib kiti muna achen laitah'u ahiye.
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Judah in achapa atah pen Er ding in numei khang thah amin Tamar chu ajidin apui peh e.
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
Hinlah Er chu migilou miphamo tah ahijeh chun Pakaiyin ahinkho ala dohtai.
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
Hichun Judah Onam kitipa, Er sopipa koma hitin aseiye, “Nangma che inlang Tamar khu gaki chenpi tan ati, ajeh chu pasal khat insunga ahinkho abeitah le dan in aphal ahi, asopipan avet thei ding, na sopipa dinga chilhah nasem doh peh tei ding ahi.”
9 and Onan knoweth that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's wife, that he hath destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother;
Amavang Onan kitipa chu anompon ama chilhah ahilou ding chu, hijeh chun a sopi pa ji toh alup khom lhona a kitimat teng abotwi ho chu tollhanga abolha jin, hijeh chun Tamar chun nao avop thei tapon asopipa adin jong chilhah gou aum doh jou tapon ahi.
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
Amavang Pakaiyin Onan umchan chu gilou engse asa lheh in asopi pa athisa adin chapa ahin peh nom lou athang thip jeh ahi, hijeh chun Pakaiyin Onan hinkho jong asuh chom pehtai.
11 And Judah saith to Tamar his daughter-in-law, 'Abide a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son groweth up;' for he said, 'Lest he die — even he — like his brethren;' and Tamar goeth and dwelleth at her father's house.
Hichun Judah in Tamar amounu jah a hitin aseiye, “Kachapa Sheila kikhan lhit kah in napa in'a meithai jin ga umdohtan,” ati. Ijeh-inem itile asopite ni bang in ama jong thiget in te tia anagel ahi. Hijeh chun Tamar jong achen apa in nah aga chengtai.
12 And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah's wife, dieth; and Judah is comforted, and goeth up unto his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath.
Phat chomkhat jou in Shua chanu Judah jinu jong athi tai; ahin Judah chu aki lhep lung mong dom phat in agolpa Adullam mi Hirah chutoh Timnah a akelngoi mul vouho henga aga che tauve.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
Koiham khat in Tamar chu aseipeh in, “Ven na tehpu khu Timnah a kelngoi mul vou ding in ache touve,” a kiti peh e.
14 and she turneth aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covereth herself with a vail, and wrappeth herself up, and sitteth in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way to Timnath, for she hath seen that Shelah hath grown up, and she hath not been given to him for a wife.
Chuphat in amanun jong ameithai von chu akhel loijin, ponlu akikhun, akitomjol in Timnah lampia Enaim lamkot'a chun atou tai; ijeh-inem itile Sheila kikhan lhit ahitan, aji dinga amanu akipeh lou akimu ahitai.
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
Judah in amanu (Tamar), chu amun ahin Judah in numei kijoh ho ahisah in ahi, ajeh chu amanun amai asel jeh ahi.
16 and he turneth aside unto her by the way, and saith, 'Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee,' (for he hath not known that she [is] his daughter-in-law); and she saith, 'What dost thou give to me, that thou mayest come in unto me?'
Hichun Judah akihei jin, Tamar umna lampi koma amapan aseiyin, “Eini kitimat hite atin,” amapan amounu ahilam chu ahet doh lou ahin, hichun Tamar in adong tan “Ipi ijat neipeh ding ham ilupkhom lhon ding leh,” ati.
17 and he saith, 'I — I send a kid of the goats from the flock.' And she saith, 'Dost thou give a pledge till thou send [it]?'
Chuin Judah in adonbut in, “Keima kelnou lah a khat nahin thah peh nang'e,” ati, hichun ama nun aseiyin, “Nakitep naho chu ahung guilhun kaha iti ka tahsan thei ding ham,” ati.
18 and he saith, 'What [is] the pledge that I give to thee?' and she saith, 'Thy seal, and thy ribbon, and thy staff which [is] in thy hand;' and he giveth to her, and goeth in unto her, and she conceiveth to him;
Judah in adong in, “Itobang kitepna na dei ham ati,” amanun adonbut in, “Na Mohor le nakhao toh chule nakhut a nachoi na tenggol chu toh,” ati. Hijeh chun amapan hichengse chu apen amanu chu aluppin ahile aman jong nao avop tai.
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Tamar a in lama a kinungle kit in a sangkhol chol akoi lhan masanga akivon na lui meithai sangkhol chu akivon in til abang chun hinkho amang kit tai.
20 And Judah sendeth the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he hath not found her.
Judah chun kelnou chu aloipa Adullam mipa khut'a numeinu henga khamgah na thil lhat doh dinga aga thahsah a ahile, Adullam mipan amanu chu agahol motan ahi.
21 And he asketh the men of her place, saying, 'Where [is] the separated one — she in Enayim, by the way?' and they say, 'There hath not been in this [place] a separated one.'
Hichun Adullam mipa Hira in hi koma cheng ho chu adong in, “Ena-im jotna a tou numeinu aki johnu chu hoilam a che hitam, ama hon adonbut un, “Keima hon hikoma hin numei phalou atahsa joh kamu kha pouve,” atiuve.
22 And he turneth back unto Judah, and saith, 'I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There hath not been in this [place] a separated one,'
Hichun Adullam mipa Hirah ahung ki nunglen thu umchan ho chu Judah asei peh tan ahi, “Keiman amanu umna chu kahol doh jou tapoi, chule chua cheng mihon jong hi tobang numei phalou atahsa joh aum poi,” atiuve.
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
Judah in aseiye, “Thil kana peh ho chu ama nun eina koi peh maita hen, kaki nopto na lhon dungjui a kelcha nou khat ka pen ahin nangman na holmo tan, amanu chu enung hol kit le khosunga mijousen ei nuisat ding'u ahi tai.”
24 And it cometh to pass about three months [after], that it is declared to Judah, saying, 'Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath committed fornication; and also, lo, she hath conceived by fornication:' and Judah saith, 'Bring her out — and she is burnt.'
Lhathum jou don chun Judah chu mihon asei peh tauvin, “Tamar na mounu chu numei kijoh banga ana bol thu ahije, chule tuhin amanun nao avoptai atiuve.” Hichun Judah in aseiye, “Amanu chu hinpui doh unlang halvam tauvin,” ati.
25 She is brought out, and she hath sent unto her husband's father, saying, 'To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant;' and she saith, 'Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these — the seal, and the ribbons, and the staff.'
Amavang amahon Tamar chu tha dingin ahin puidoh tauvin, Tamar in atehpu thu athot in hitin aseiye, “Hiche thil neipa tenggol ahin, khaodip ahin, Mahor ahin, koi thil pen ham? Ipi dinga thip beh cha um aham hiche neipa akona hi nao kavop ahi,” ati.
26 And Judah discerneth and saith, 'She hath been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to Shelah my son;' and he hath not added to know her again.
Judah in gangtah in ama nei le gou chu amu mun agel doh paitan ahi, “Tamar hi keima sanga chonpha jo ahiye ati. Ajeh chu keiman kachapa Sheila toh akichen lhon na ding imacha kana gonlou jeh ahi,” ati, chupet tah chun Judah chu Tamar toh apum kitimat tapoi.
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Tamar dinga nao neina phat ahung naitan, amanun nao pasal ni pengkop ding ahi chu ahe tauvin ahi.
28 and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that [one] giveth out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, 'This hath come out first.'
Naoso nat akipan tan hiche pet tah chun naocha teni lah a khatpa akhut ahung doh in hichun numei lhacha a pangho chun patsan akhut'a akan peh un, “Hichepa hi hung peng masa ahi,” atiuve.
29 And it cometh to pass as he draweth back his hand, that lo, his brother hath come out, and she saith, 'What! thou hast broken forth — on thee [is] the breach;' and he calleth his name Pharez;
Hinlah hiche naocha chun akhut akailut kit tan, asopipa joh ahung peng masa tai. Hichun numei lhacha ho chun “Hiche hi ipi ham atiuve.” Nang in iti dan'a amasa a peng dingpa nahin chop khup ham atiuve.” Hichun amapa min chu Perez asah tauve.
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
Chujouvin, naosen patsan a akhut kikanpa chu ahung peng tan hichun amapa min chun Zerah asah tauve.
