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;
Yeroo kanatti Yihuudaan obboloota isaa biraa deemee namicha Adulaam kan Hiiraam jedhamu tokko bira jiraachuuf gad buʼe.
2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.
Achittis Yihuudaan intala namicha Kanaʼaan kan Shuuwaan jedhamu tokkoo arge; innis ishee fuudhee ishee bira gaʼe;
3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;
isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaan isaas Eer jedhame.
4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;
Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaa isaas Oonaan jettee moggaafte.
5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.
Ammas ittuma dabaltee ulfooftee ilma biraa deessee maqaa isaa Sheelaa jettee moggaafte. Isheenis Kiziibitti isa deesse.
6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;
Yihuudaanis Eer ilma isaa hangafticha niitii fuusise; maqaan ishee Taamaar jedhama ture.
7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.
Garuu Eer ilmi Yihuudaa hangaftichi sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isa ajjeese.
8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'
Yihuudaanis Oonaaniin, “Obboleessa keetiif sanyii dhaabuuf jedhiitii niitii obboleessa keetii bira gaʼiitii dirqama waarsummaa keetii isheef guuti” jedhe.
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;
Oonaan garuu akka ijoolleen dhalattu sun kan isaa hin taane beeke; kanaafuu akka obboleessa isaatiif sanyii hin dhaabneef jedhee yeroo niitii obboleessa isaa bira gaʼu hunda afeetaa lafatti dhangalaasa ture.
10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
Wanni inni hojjete sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isas ni ajjeese.
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.
Ergasii Yihuudaan niitii ilma isaa Taamaariin, “Hamma ilmi koo Sheelaa guddatutti haadha hiyyeessaa taʼiitii mana abbaa keetii jiraadhu” jedhe. Inni, “Mucaan kunis akkuma obboloota isaa duʼaa laata” jedhee yaadee tureetii. Kanaafuu Taamaar mana abbaa ishee jiraachuu dhaqxe.
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.
Bara dheeraa booddees intalli Shuuwaa niitiin Yihuudaa duute. Yihuudaanis gadda isaa irraa bayyanannaan gara Tiimnaahitti lafa warra hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuraniitti ol baʼe; michuun isaa Hiiraam namichi Adulaam isa wajjin deeme.
13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
Taamaaris, “Kunoo abbaan dhirsa keetii hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruuf jedhee Tiimnaahitti ol baʼaa jira” jedhanii yeroo itti himanitti,
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.
wayyaa haadha hiyyeessaa of irraa baaftee of dhoksuuf haguuggii haguuggatte; ergasiis balbala Enaayimitti ol galchu kan daandii Tiimnaahitti geessu irra jiru dura teesse. Sheelaa guddatu iyyuu isheen akka niitummaadhaan isaaf hin kennamin beektee turteetii.
15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
Yihuudaan yommuu ishee argetti sababii isheen fuula ishee haguuggattee turteef sagaagaltuu ishee seʼe.
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?'
Innis utuu akka isheen niitii ilma isaa taate hin beekin karaa cina iddoo isheen jirtu ishee bira dhaqee, “Mee kottu si wajjin nan ciisaa” jedheen. Isheenis, “Ati na wajjin ciisuuf maal naa kennita?” jettee isa gaafatte.
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]?'
Inni immoo, “Ani bushaayee koo keessaa ilmoo reʼee tokko siifin erga” jedheen. Isheenis, “Hamma ilmoo sana naa ergitutti waan biraa qabsiisa naa kennitaa?” jetteen.
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;
Innis, “Ani qabsiisa maalin siif kenna?” jedheen. Isheenis deebiftee, “Chaappaa kee hidhaa isaa wajjin, ulee qabattee deemtus naa kenni” jetteen. Innis wantoota kanneen kenneefii ishee wajjin ciise; isheenis ni ulfoofte.
19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
Erga achii deemtee booddee haguuggii ishee of irraa baaftee wayyaa dhirsi ishee irraa duunaan uffattee turte sana deebiftee uffatte.
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.
Yihuudaan waan qabsiisa kenne dubartii sana irraa deebifachuuf jedhee karaa michuu isaa namicha Adulaam sanaatiin ilmoo reʼee ergeef; namichi garuu ishee hin argine.
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.'
Namichis, “Sagaagaltuun Enaayim bira, daandii irra taaʼaa turte sun eessa jirti?” jedhee warra achi jiraatan gaafate. Jarri immoo deebisanii, “Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre” jedhan.
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,'
Innis gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼee, “Ani dubartittii arguu hin dandeenye. Akkasumas warri iddoo sana jiraatan, ‘Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre’ jedhan” jedheen.
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
Yihuudaanis, “Isheen waan qabatte sana haa hambifattu; yoo kanaa achii nu waan kolfaa taanaa. Kunoo ani ilmoo reʼee kana isheef ergeera; ati garuu ishee dhabde” jedhe.
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.'
Gara jiʼa sadii booddee, “Taamaar niitiin ilma keetii sagaagaltuu taateerti; kanaanis isheen amma ulfoofteerti” jedhanii Yihuudaatti himan. Yihuudaan immoo, “Gadi baasaatii ibiddaan gubaa ishee ajjeesaa!” jedhe.
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.'
Isheenis utuma gad baafamaa jirtuu, “Ani abbaa miʼa kanaa irraa ulfaaʼeera” jettee abbaa dhirsa isheetti ergaa ergite. Akkasumas, “Chaappaa fi kirriin isaa, uleen kunis kan eenyuu akka taʼe mee ilaalii addaan baafadhu” jetteen.
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.
Yihuudaanis miʼa kana beekee, “Sababii ani ilma koo Sheelaatti ishee hin heerumsiisiniif, isheen na caalaa qajeeltuu dha” jedhe. Innis deebiʼee ishee bira hin geenye.
27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Yommuu yeroon daʼumsa ishee gaʼetti, kunoo, ilmaan lakkuutu gadameessa ishee keessa ture.
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.'
Utuu isheen daʼumsa irra jirtuu inni tokko harka isaa gad baafate; deessiftuunis qabdee, “Isa kanatu dura lafa gaʼe” jettee kirrii diimaa harka isaatti hiite.
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;
Akkuma inni harka isaa ol deebifateen kunoo obboleessi isaa dhalate; deessiftuunis, “Ati akkamiin ofuma keetiin cabsitee baate?” jette. Maqaan isaas Faares jedhame.
30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.
Obboleessi isaa kan kirrii diimaa harka irraa qabu sunis ni dhalate; innis Zaaraa jedhamee moggaafame.
