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;

Pripetilo se je ob tistem času, da je Juda šel dol od svojih bratov in vstopil k nekemu Adulámcu, katerega ime je bilo Hirá.

2 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.

Juda je tam videl hčer nekega Kánaanca, katerega ime je bilo Šua in vzel jo je ter šel noter k njej.

3 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;

Ta je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Er.

4 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;

Ponovno je spočela ter rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Onán.

5 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.

Spet je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Šelá. Bil je pri Kezíbu, ko ga je rodila.

6 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;

Juda je vzel ženo za svojega prvorojenca Era, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara.

7 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.

Judov prvorojenec Er pa je bil zloben v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod ga je usmrtil.

8 And Judah saith to Onan, 'Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'

Juda je rekel Onánu: »Pojdi noter k ženi svojega brata in jo poroči ter svojemu bratu obudi potomca.«

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;

Onán pa je vedel, da potomec ne bo njegov in pripetilo se je, ko je šel noter k ženi svojega brata, da je to izlil na tla, da svojemu bratu ne bi dal potomca.

10 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.

Stvar, ki jo je storil, je razžalila Gospoda, zaradi česar je tudi njega usmrtil.

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.

Potem je Juda rekel svoji snahi Tamari: »Ostani vdova, v hiši svojega očeta, dokler moj sin Šelá ne odraste, « kajti rekel je: »Da ne bi morda tudi on umrl, kakor sta njegova brata.« Tamara je odšla in prebivala v hiši svojega očeta.

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.

Tekom časa je Šuova hči, Judova žena, umrla in Juda je bil potolažen in se dvignil k svojim strižcem ovc v Timno, on in njegov prijatelj Adulámec Hirá.

13 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, 'Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'

To je bilo povedano Tamari, rekoč: »Glej, tvoj tast gre v Timno, da ostriže svoje ovce.«

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.

Iz sebe je odložila svoje vdovske obleke, se pokrila z zagrinjalom, se ogrnila in sedla na odprt kraj, ki je na poti v Timno, kajti videla je, da je Šelá odrastel, pa mu ni bila dana za ženo.

15 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,

Ko jo je Juda zagledal, je mislil, da je pocestnica, ker je imela svoj obraz zakrit.

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?'

Na poti se je obrnil k njej in rekel: »Daj, prosim te, naj pridem noter vate, « (kajti ni vedel, da je bila njegova snaha.) Ona pa je rekla: »Kaj mi hočeš dati, da lahko prideš vame?«

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]?'

Rekel je: »Poslal ti bom kozlička od tropa.« Rekla je: »Ali mi boš dal jamstvo, dokler ga ne pošlješ?«

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;

Rekel je: »Kakšno jamstvo naj ti dam?« Rekla je: »Svoj pečat in svoje okrasne vrvice in svojo palico, ki je v tvoji roki.« To ji je dal in prišel noter vanjo in ta je spočela z njim.

19 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.

Vstala je ter odšla proč in poleg sebe položila svoje zagrinjalo iz sebe in si nadela obleke svojega vdovstva.

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.

Juda je poslal kozlička po roki svojega prijatelja Adulámca, da prejme svoje jamstvo iz roke ženske, toda ta je ni našel.

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.'

Potem je vprašal ljudi tega kraja, rekoč: »Kje je pocestnica, ki je bila javno poleg poti?« Rekli so: »Na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«

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,'

Vrnil se je k Judu in rekel: »Ne morem je najti in tudi ljudje tega kraja so rekli, da na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«

23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'

Juda je rekel: »Naj si ona to vzame k sebi, da ne bova osramočena. Glej, poslal sem tega kozlička, ti pa je nisi našel.«

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.'

Pripetilo se je približno tri mesece kasneje, da je bilo Judu povedano, rekoč: »Tvoja snaha Tamara je igrala pocestnico in prav tako poglej, ona je z otrokom od vlačugarstva.« Juda je rekel: »Privedite jo naprej in naj bo sežgana.«

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.'

Ko je bila privedena naprej, je poslala k svojemu tastu, rekoč: »Po moškem, čigar [last] je to, sem z otrokom.« Rekla je: »Razpoznaj, prosim te, čigav je ta pečat, okrasne vrvice in palica.«

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.

Juda jim je priznal in rekel: »Bolj pravična je bila kakor jaz, zato ker je nisem dal svojemu sinu Šeláju.« In ni je več ponovno spoznal.

27 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;

Pripetilo pa se je v času njenih porodnih muk, glej, da sta bila v njeni maternici dvojčka.

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.'

Ko je bila v porodnih mukah se je pripetilo, da je eden iztegnil svojo roko in babica je prijela ter na njegovo roko privezala škrlatno nit, rekoč: »Ta je prvi prišel ven.«

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;

Pripetilo pa se je, ko je svojo roko potegnil nazaj, glej, je prišel ven njegov brat. Rekla je: »Kako si izbruhnil? Ta prodor bodi na tebi.« Zato je bilo njegovo ime imenovano Parec.

30 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.

Nato je prišel ven njegov brat, ki je imel na svoji roki škrlatno nit in njegovo ime je bilo imenovano Zerah.
