< 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;
त्यस समयमा यहूदा आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई छोडेर हीरा नाउँ भएको कुनै एउटा अदुल्लामवासीकहाँ बस्दथे ।
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
त्यहाँ उनले एउटा कनानी मानिसकी छोरीलाई भेटे जसको नाम शूआ थियो । उनले तिनीसँग विवाह गरे र सहवास गरे ।
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् । त्यसको नाउँ एर् राखियो ।
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
तिनी फेरि गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् । तिनले त्यसको नाउँ ओनान राखिन् ।
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
तिनले फेरि अर्को छोरो जन्माइन् र त्यसको नाउँ शेलह राखिन् ।
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
यहूदाले आफ्नो जेठो छोरा एर्को निम्ति एउटी पत्नी ल्याइदिए । तिनको नाउँ तामार थियो ।
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
तर यहूदाको जेठो छोरो एर् परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा दुष्ट थियो । यसैकारण परमप्रभुले त्यसको प्राण लिनुभयो ।
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
यहूदाले ओनानलाई भने, “तँ आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्। आफ्नी भाउजूप्रति देवरको कर्तव्य पूरा गर्, र आफ्नो दाजुको निम्ति एउटा बालक हुर्का ।”
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;
त्यो बालक आफ्नो हुनेछैन भनेर ओनानलाई थाहा थियो । आफ्नो दाजुकी पत्नीसँग सहवास गर्दा दाजुको कुनै सन्तान नहोस् भनेर उसले आफ्नो वीर्य भुइँमा पतन गर्थ्यो ।
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
उसले जे गर्यो त्यो परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा खराब थियो । परमप्रभुले त्यसको पनि प्राण लिनुभयो ।
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.
त्यसपछि यहूदाले आफ्नी बुहारी तामारलाई भने, “मेरो छोरो शेलह ठुलो नभएसम्म तिम्रा बुबाकै घरमा विधवा नै भएर बस ।” किनभने अरू दाजुहरूझैँ शेलह पनि मर्छ कि भनेर उनी डराए । त्यसैकारण तामार तिनका बुबाकै घरमा बसिन् ।
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.
त्यसको धेरै समयपछि शूआकी छोरी यहूदाकी पत्नीको मृत्यु भयो । यहूदाले शोक गरिसकेपछि उनी र उनका मित्र अदुल्लामवासी हीराका साथ आफ्ना भेडा कत्रनेहरूकहाँ तिम्नामा गए ।
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
तामारलाई यसो भनियो, “हेर, तिम्रा ससुरा आफ्ना भेडा कत्रन तिम्ना जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
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.
तिनले विधवाको वस्त्र फुकालिन्, घुम्टोले आफ्नो टाउको र अनुहार ढाकिन् र अरूहरूले तिनलाई नचिनून् भनेर आफैँलाई कपडाले ढाकिन् । तिनी तिम्नाको बाटोमा रहेको एनैमको द्वारमा बसिन् । किनकि शेलह ठुलो भइसकेका तर तिनलाई उनकी पत्नी हुनलाई नदिइएको तिनले देखिन् ।
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
जब यहूदाले तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो अनुहार ढाकेकी हुनाले तिनलाई एउटा वेश्या ठाने ।
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?'
तिनी आफ्नी बुहारी हुन् भन्ने थाहा नभएर उनी तिनीकहाँ सडकको किनारमा गए र भने, “आऊ, मलाई तिमीसँग सुत्न देऊ” अनि तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईं मसँग सुत्नका लागि मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ?”
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]?'
उनले भने, “म तिम्रो निम्ति बगालबाट एउटा पाठो दिनेछु ।” तिनले भनिन्, “के तपाईंले त्यो मकहाँ नपठाउन्जेल केही बन्धक राख्नुहुनेछ?”
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;
उनले भने, “म तिमीलाई बन्धकको रूपमा के दिऊँ?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “तपाईंको छाप, त्यसको डोरी, र तपाईंको हातमा भएको त्यो लौरो ।” उनले ती सबै तिनलाई दिए र तिनीसँग सुते, अनि तिनी उनीद्वारा गर्भवती भइन् ।
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
त्यसपछि तिनी उठेर गइहालिन् । तिनले आफ्नो घुम्टो हटाएर विधवाको वस्त्र लगाइन् ।
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.
यहूदाले ती स्त्रीका हातबाट बन्धकमा रहेका सामान प्राप्त गर्न आफ्ना मित्र अदुल्लामवासीसँग एउटा पाठो पठाए, तर उनले तिनलाई भेट्टाएनन् ।
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.'
त्यसपछि त्यस अदुल्लामवासीले त्यहाँका मानिसहरूलाई सोधे, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने त्यो वेश्या कहाँ गई जो सडक नजिक एनैममा थिई?” तिनीहरूले भने, “मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन ।”
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,'
उनी यहूदाकहाँ फर्के र भने, “मैले त्यसलाई भेट्टाइनँ । र त्यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूले पनि भने, ‘मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने कोही वेश्या यहाँ छैन’ ।”
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
यहूदाले भने, “त्यसले नै ती सामानहरू राखोस्, र हामी शर्ममा पर्नेछैनौँ । मैले त यो पाठो पठाएकै हो, तर तिमीले त्यसलाई भेट्टाएनौ ।”
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.'
त्यसको करिब तिन महिनापछि यहूदालाई भनियो, “तपाईंकी बुहारी तामारले वेश्याकर्म गरेकी छे, र त्यो गर्भवती भएकी छे ।” यहूदाले भने, “त्यसलाई मकहाँ ल्याओ र त्यसलाई जलाइयोस् ।”
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.'
जब तिनलाई ल्याइँदै थियो, तिनले आफ्नो ससुरालाई एउटा सन्देश पठाए, “यी सामानहरू जसका हुन् म त्यही मानिसद्वारा गर्भवती भएकी हुँ ।” तिनले भनिन्, “यो छाप, त्यसको डोरी र यो लौरो कसका हुन् कृपया पत्ता लगाइदिनुहोस् ।”
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.
यहूदाले ती सामानहरू चिने र भने, “मैले यिनलाई मेरो छोरो शेलहकी पत्नी हुन नदिएको हुनाले यिनी मभन्दा पनि धेरै धर्मी छिन्, ।” त्यसपछि उनी कहिल्यै तिनीसँग सुतेनन् ।
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
तिनको बच्चा जन्माउने समय भयो । तिनको गर्भमा जुम्ल्याहा थियो ।
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.'
तिनले बच्चा जन्माइरहँदा एउटाले आफ्नो हात बाहिर निकाल्यो, र सुँडेनीले एउटा गाढा रातो धागो लिएर त्यसको हातमा बाँधिदिएर भनी, “योचाहिँ पहिले बाहिर आयो ।”
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;
तर त्यसपछि त्यसले आफ्नो हात भित्र लग्यो, र त्यसको भाइ पहिला बाहिर निस्कियो । सुँडेनीले अचम्म मानेर भनी, “यो कसरी पहिला बाहिर आयो!” यसैकारण त्यसको नाउँ फारेस राखियो ।
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
त्यसपछि हातमा गाढा रातो धागो भएको त्यसको दाजु बाहिर आयो, र त्यसको नाउँ जेरह राखियो ।
