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;
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Judah teh a hmaunawngha koehoi a cei teh, Adullam tami Hirah koevah ao.
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
Judah ni haw vah, Kanaan tami Shua canu hah a hmu. Ahni hah a paluen teh a ikhai.
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
Camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Judah ni a min lah Er a phung.
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. A manu ni a min lah Onan telah a phung.
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Ca tongpa alouke bout a khe teh, a min lah Shelah telah a phung. Hote ca tongpa a khe lahun navah, Judah teh Kezib vah ao.
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
Judah ni a camin Er hah a yu a paluen pouh teh, a min teh Tamar doeh.
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
Hateiteh, Judah e camin teh BAWIPA e mithmu vah tamikathout lah ao dawkvah, BAWIPA ni ahni teh a thei.
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
Judah ni Onan koevah, na hmau e yu hah ipkhai nateh, na hmau e cati hah pout hoeh nahanlah sak pouh, telah ati.
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;
Onan ni a canaw hah mae ca lah awm mahoeh tie a panue dawkvah, a hmau e a yu a ikhai navah, a ca khe hoeh nahanlah alawilah atui yout a tâco sak.
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
A sak e hno ni BAWIPA a lunghawi sak hoeh dawkvah, Onan hai a thei.
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.
Judah ni a langa Tamar koevah, ka capa Shelah heh a cue hoehroukrak na pa im dawk lahmai lah awm ei, telah hoehpawiteh, ahni hai a hmaunaw patetlah a due payon han doeh telah ati. Tamar ni a cei teh a na pa im vah ao.
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.
Atueng moi a ro hnukkhu, Judah e yu Shua canu teh a due. Judah teh a lungpahawi hnukkhu, Timnah kho dawk e tumuen kangawnaw koe vah, amae a hui Adullam tami Hirah hoi reirei a ceitakhang roi.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
A langa Tarmar koevah, na pa teh tu muen ngaw hanelah Timnah vah cei hane a kâcai telah a dei pouh awh.
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.
Ahni ni a lahmainae hni hah a rading teh, a minhmai a ramuknae hoi a kâramuk, a tak a kâyo teh Timnah kho longkha koelah a tahung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Shelah teh a cue eiteh, a na pa ni a yu lah paluen pouh ngai hoeh.
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
Judah ni a hmu toteh, a minhmai a kâramuk dawkvah, kâyawt e lah a pouk.
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?'
Hottelah hoi lam teng e napui a onae hah a pâtam teh, tho haw pahren lahoi rei ip roi sei telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a langa tie panuek hoeh. Napui ni na ipkhai pawiteh bangmaw na poe han telah 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]?'
Ahni ni saringhu thung e hmaeca na patawn han telah ati, Hottelah hoi napui ni hot hah na patawn hoehnahlan vah na pâhung hane kawi na poe han na ou, telah 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;
Ahni ni bangmaw ka hung han telah telah ati. Napui ni na min na thutnae, arui hoi na sin e na sonron telah ati. Hottelah hoi a poe teh a ikhai, ahni teh camo a vawn.
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
A thaw teh a minhmai ramuknae a hawng teh a lahmainae khohna hah bout a kho.
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 teh napui koe hung e hno hah a ratang hanelah a hui Adullam koe vah hmaeca hah a patawn. Hateiteh, ahni ni napui hah hmawt hoeh.
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.'
Hottelah hoi haw e hmuen koe kaawm e taminaw koe lam teng e Enaim tak ka kâyawt e napui hah nâmaw ao telah a pacei, ahnimouh ni hie hmuen koe tak ka kâyawt e awm hoeh telah ati awh.
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,'
Judah koe a ban teh, ahni teh ka hmawt thai hoeh. Haw e Taminaw ni hie hmuen dawk tak ka kâyawt e awm boihoeh telah ati awh, telah ati.
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 ni lat awh yawkaw naseh, hottelah hoehpawiteh, yeiraipo payon vaih, khenhaw! hmaeca heh na patawn ei, ama na hmawt ka lawn hoeh, telah ati.
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.'
Thapa yung pâthum hnukkhu vah ahnimouh ni Judah koe na langa Tamar teh kâyo hloilah cata a phu telah a dei pouh awh. Judah ni alawilah tâcawtkhai awh nateh hmaisawi e lah awm naseh telah 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.'
A tâcokhai awh lahun navah, Tamar ni hete hno katawnkung koe hoi nahoehmaw camo ka vawn telah a na pa koe Tami a patoun. Napui ni vah pahren lahoi hete min thutnae hoi arui hoi sonronnaw heh, apie ne, kahawicalah khenhaw! telah 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 ni vah, hnopainaw teh amae lah ao tie a panue teh, ahni teh kai hlak atanghnawn toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh ka capa Shelah hane a yu lah ka lat pouh kalawn hoeh toe telah ati. Hahoi Judah ni ahni teh bout ipkhai hoeh toe.
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Hahoi a vawn a pataw lahun navah, camo im dawk camo samphei roi e ao.
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.'
Camo a khe navah, capa buet touh ni a kut a tâco sak. Camo ka khesakkung ni hetheh a hmaloe ka khe e telah a kut dawk a kuet teh hlangpawi a yeng pouh awh.
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;
A kut hah bout a kâhno torei teh, pouk laipalah a nawngha hah a khe. Camo ka khe sak e naw ni, bangkongmaw khe na hanelah namahoima na sak, telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Perez telah a phung awh.
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
Hathnukkhu a hmau e a kut dawk hlangpawi yeng e a khe teh a min lah Zerah telah a phung.
