< 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;
Nzokande na tango wana, Yuda atikaki bandeko na ye mpe akendeki kovanda epai ya Ira, moto ya Adulami.
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
Yuda akutanaki kuna na mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, moto ya Kanana. Abalaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
Mwasi yango akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Yuda mwana mobali. Mpe Yuda apesaki ye kombo « Eri. »
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
Mwasi yango azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali; apesaki ye kombo « Onani. »
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Abotaki mwana mobali mosusu mpe apesaki ye kombo « Shela. » Yuda azalaki na Kezibi tango mwasi na ye abotaki mwana ya misato.
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
Yuda abalelaki Eri, mwana na ye ya liboso, mwasi: Tamari.
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
Kasi Eri, mwana liboso ya Yuda, azalaki moto mabe na miso ya Yawe; yango wana Yawe abomaki ye.
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
Bongo Yuda alobaki na Onani: « Sangisa nzoto na semeki na yo mpo ete obota bana mpo na ndeko na yo ya mobali oyo akufa. »
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;
Kasi lokola Onani ayebaki ete bana oyo bakobotama bakozala ya ye te, azalaki kobwaka mayi na ye ya mibali na mabele tango nyonso azalaki kosangisa nzoto na semeki na ye, mpo ete abotela ndeko na ye ya mobali bana te.
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
Likambo oyo Onani azalaki kosala ezalaki kosepelisa Yawe te. Boye ye mpe lisusu, Yawe abomaki ye.
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.
Yuda alobaki na Tamari, bokilo na ye ya mwasi: « Lokola okufisi mibali, kende kovanda na ndako ya tata na yo kino Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali, akokoma mokolo. » Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Tango mosusu ye mpe akoki kokufa lokola bandeko na ye ya mibali. » Boye Tamari akendeki kovanda na ndako ya tata na ye.
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.
Sima na tango molayi, mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, mwasi ya Yuda, akufaki. Lokola tango na ye ya matanga esilaki, Yuda akendeki na Timina epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye. Boye, moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, akendeki elongo na ye.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
Tango bayebisaki Tamari: « Bokilo na yo ya mobali azali kokende na Timina mpo na kolongolisa bapwale ya bameme na ye, »
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.
alongolaki bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali mpe amizipaki elongi na vwale mpo ete bayeba ye lisusu te. Avandaki na ekuke ya Enayimi oyo ezalaki na nzela ya Timina, pamba te amonaki ete Shela akolaki, kasi bapesaki ye te na libala epai ya Shela.
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
Tango Yuda amonaki ye, akanisaki ete azali mwasi ya ndumba, pamba te azipaki elongi na ye.
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?'
Lokola Yuda ayebaki te ete ezali bokilo na ye ya mwasi, apusanaki na esika oyo azalaki, pembeni ya nzela, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, ndima ete tosangisa na yo nzoto. Tamari atunaki: — Okopesa ngai nini soki osangisi na ngai nzoto?
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]?'
Yuda azongisaki: — Nakotindela yo mwana ntaba oyo nakozwa na etonga na ngai. Tamari atunaki lisusu: — Ndanga nini okosimbisa ngai kino tango okotindela ngai yango?
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;
Yuda alobaki: — Ndanga nini olingi ete nasimbisa yo? Tamari azongisaki: — Lopete na yo, singa na yo mpe lingenda na yo, oyo osimbi na loboko. Boye Yuda apesaki ye yango, asangisaki na ye nzoto mpe Tamari akomaki na zemi.
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamari atelemaki mpe akendeki; alongolaki vwale na ye mpe azongisaki lisusu na nzoto bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali.
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.
Boye Yuda atindaki moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, mpo ete amemela mwasi yango mwana ntaba mpe azwa ndanga oyo asimbisaki ye. Kasi Ira amonaki ye te.
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.'
Boye atunaki epai ya bavandi ya esika wana, na Enayimi: — Wapi mwasi ya ndumba oyo azalaki na nzela, na Enayimi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Esika oyo etikala kozala na mwasi ya ndumba te.
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,'
Ira azongaki epai ya Yuda mpe ayebisaki ye: — Namoni ye te; kutu bavandi ya Enayimi bayebisi ngai ete mwasi ya ndumba atikala kozala na esika wana te.
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
Yuda alobaki: — Atikala na biloko oyo azwaki, noki te tokobima babolole. Ngai nazali na likambo te; natindeli ye mwana ntaba, mpe yo omoni ye te.
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.'
Sima na sanza misato, bayebisaki Yuda: — Tamari, bokilo na yo ya mwasi, asalaki kindumba, mpe tala kutu akomi na zemi. Yuda alobaki: — Babimisa ye mpe batumba ye na moto!
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.'
Wana bazalaki kobimisa ye libanda, Tamari atindaki sango oyo epai ya Yuda, bokilo na ye: — Nazali na zemi ya nkolo biloko oyo. Mpe abakisaki: — Tala soki okoki koyeba nani azali nkolo ya lopete oyo, ya singa oyo mpe ya lingenda oyo.
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.
Yuda asosolaki ete ezali biloko na ye mpe alobaki: — Azali sembo koleka ngai, pamba te nabalisaki ye te epai ya Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali. Boye Yuda atikalaki lisusu te kosangisa na ye nzoto.
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, emonanaki ete ezalaki na mapasa mibale ya mibali kati na libumu na ye.
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.'
Na tango ya kobota, moko kati na bango abimisaki loboko; mpe mwasi oyo abotisaka asimbaki loboko yango, akangaki yango singa ya motane mpe alobaki: « Mwana oyo nde abimi liboso. »
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;
Kasi azongisaki loboko na ye, mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali abimaki. Bongo mwasi oyo abotisaka alobaki: « Ofungoli nzela nini mpo na kobima? » Mpe bapesaki ye kombo « Peretsi. »
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
Sima, ndeko na ye oyo azalaki na singa ya motane na loboko mpe abotamaki; bapesaki ye kombo « Zera. »
