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;
Lè sa a, Jida kite frè l' yo, li al jwenn Ira, yon nonm lavil Adoulam.
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
Antan li la, li wè yon fi. Papa fi a te yon moun peyi Kanaran yo te rele Chwa. Jida marye ak fi a, li kouche avè l'.
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
Madanm lan vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Jida rele pitit la Er.
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
Madanm lan vin ansent ankò, li fè yon lòt pitit gason, yo rele l' Onan.
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Li fè yon lòt pitit gason ankò, yo rele l' Chela. Jida te lavil Kezib lè madanm li fè Chela.
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
Jida chwazi yon fi yo rele Tama pou Er, premye pitit gason l' lan.
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
Men Er, premye pitit Jida a, pa t' fè Seyè a plezi paske li te twò mechan. Se konsa Seyè a te fè l' mouri.
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
Lè sa a, Jida di Onan: -Ale jwenn madanm frè ou la, kouche avè l'. Se devwa ou, paske ou se frè mari l' ki mouri. Konsa, w'a fè yon pitit pou frè ou pou non li pa pèdi.
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;
Men Onan te konnen pitit la pa t'ap pou li. Se konsa, chak fwa li kouche ak madanm frè li a, li voye atè pou li pa t' fè pitit pou frè li a.
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
Sa l' t'ap fè a pa t' fè Seyè a plezi. Se konsa Seyè a fè l' mouri tou.
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.
Lè sa a, Jida di Tama, bèlfi li a: -Ou mèt tounen kay papa ou, rete vèv san marye jouk tan Chela, lòt gason m' lan, vin gran. Li te di l' sa paske li te pè pou Chela pa t' mouri tankou frè l' yo. Tama menm tounen rete kay papa l'.
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.
Kèk tan apre sa, madanm Jida, pitit fi Chwa a, mouri. Apre Jida te fin fè sa pou l' te fè pou lanmò a, li moute al Timna ansanm ak zanmi l' lan, Ira, moun Adoulam lan. Li tapral wè moun ki t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo pou li.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
Yo fè Tama konn sa, yo di l': -Gade. Men bòpè ou ap moute al Timna, pou l' fè taye lenn mouton li yo.
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.
Se konsa, Tama wete rad vèv ki te sou li a, li kouvri tèt li ak yon vwal, li al chita bò pòtay lavil Enayim, sou chemen ki mennen Timna a. Li te wè Chela te fin gran, men Jida pa t' pran l' bay Chela pou madanm.
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
Lè Jida wè l', li konprann se te yon jennès, paske figi l' te kouvri.
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?'
li al jwenn li bò chemen an, li di l': -vin non. Kite m' kouche avè ou. Li pa t' konnen se bèlfi li li te ye. Tama di li: -Kisa w'ap ban mwen pou m' kite ou kouche avè m'.
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]?'
Jida reponn li: -m'a voye yon jenn kabrit ba ou nan bèt mwen yo. Tama di li: -Kisa w'a ban m' kenbe jouk ou voye l' ban mwen.
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;
Jida reponn li: -Kisa ou vle m' ba ou kenbe? Tama di li: -Letanp ou a ak tout kòd li, ansanm ak baton ki nan men ou lan. Jida ba li yo. Li kouche ak li. Tama vin ansent pou li.
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
Apre sa Tama leve, li al fè wout li. Li wete vwal la, epi li mete rad vèv li sou li ankò.
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.
Jida voye zanmi l', moun lavil Adoulam lan, ak jenn kabrit la pou l' te ka reprann sa l' te bay fanm lan kenbe a. Men zanmi l' lan pa t' kapab jwenn fanm lan.
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.'
Li mande mesye ki te la yo. Kote jennès ki te chita bò chemen an, sou pòtay lavil Enayim lan? Yo reponn li: -Pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò isit la.
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,'
Li tounen al jwenn Jida, li di l': -Mwen pa jwenn li non. Mesye nan zòn lan di m' pa janm gen ankenn jennès bò la.
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
Jida di l': -Pa fatige kò ou chache reprann sak nan men l' lan. Moun va pase m' nan betiz twòp. Mwen voye kabrit la ba li, ou pa jwenn li. Kite sa!
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.'
Sou twa mwa konsa, yo vin di Jida: -Tama, bèlfi ou la, lage kò l' nan jennès. Li gen tan ansent. Jida di yo: -Pran l', mennen l' deyò lavil la. Mete dife anwo l' jouk li mouri.
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.'
Yo t'ap mennen Tama deyò lavil la lè li voye komisyon sa a bay bòpè li: -Se pou mèt bagay sa yo mwen ansent. Gade wè si ou rekonèt ki moun ki mèt letanp sa a ak tout kòd li ansanm ak baton sa a?
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.
Jida rekonèt yo, li di: -Li gen rezon. Se mwen menm ki antò. Mwen te dwe fè l' marye ak Chela, pitit gason m' lan. Jida pa t' kouche avè l' ankò.
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Lè lè a rive pou Tama akouche, yo wè li te gen marasa nan vant li.
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.'
Pandan li te gen tranche, yonn nan timoun yo lonje men l' deyò. Fanmchay la kenbe men an, li mare yon moso fil wouj ladan l'. Li di: -Sa a fèt anvan.
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;
Men pitit la rale men an antre, epi se lòt frè a ki soti anvan. Fanmchay la di: -Se konsa ou fè chemen pou ou pase! Se poutèt sa yo rele l' Perèz.
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
Apre sa, frè li a soti ak fil wouj la mare nan men l'. Yo rele l' Zerak.
