1 En ce temps-là Juda, s’éloignant de ses frères, descendit et arriva jusqu’auprès d’un homme d’Odollam, nommé Hira.
And it was at the time that and he went down Judah from with brothers his and he turned aside to a man an Adullamite and name his [was] Hirah.
2 Là, Juda vit la fille d’un Chananéen, nommé Sué, et il la prit pour femme et alla vers elle.

4 Elle conçut encore et enfanta un fils, et elle le nomma Onan.
And she conceived again and she bore a son and she called name his Onan.
5 Elle conçut de nouveau et enfanta un fils, et elle le nomma Séla; Juda était à Achzib quand elle le mit au monde.
And she repeated again and she bore a son and she called name his Shelah and he was in Kezib when bore she him.
6 Juda prit pour Her, son premier-né, une femme nommée Thamar.

And he said Judah to Onan go into [the] wife of brother your and act as a husband's brother for her and raise up offspring for brother your.

11 Et Juda dit à Thamar, sa belle-fille: « Demeure comme veuve dans la maison de ton père jusqu’à ce que Séla, mon fils, soit devenu grand. » Car il se disait: « Il ne faut pas que lui aussi meure comme ses frères. » Thamar s’en alla et demeura dans la maison de son père.
And he said Judah to Tamar daughter-in-law his dwell a widow [the] house of father your until he will grow up Shelah son my for he said lest he should die also he like brothers his and she went Tamar and she dwelt [the] house of father her.
12 Après beaucoup de jours, la fille de Sué, femme de Juda, mourut. Lorsque Juda eut fini son deuil, il monta vers ceux qui tondaient ses brebis à Thamna, lui et son ami Hira, l’Odollamite.
And they increased the days and she died [the] daughter of Shua [the] wife of Judah and he was comforted Judah and he went up to [the] shearers of sheep his he and Hirah friend his the Adullamite Timnah towards.
13 On en informa Thamar, en disant: « Voici ton beau-père qui monte à Thamna pour tondre ses brebis. »
And it was told to Tamar saying there! father-in-law your [is] going up Timnah towards to shear sheep his.
14 Alors elle ôta ses vêtements de veuve, se couvrit d’un voile, et, ainsi enveloppée, elle s’assit à l’entrée d’Enaïm, sur le chemin de Thamna, car elle voyait que Séla était devenu grand et qu’elle ne lui était pas donnée pour femme.
And she removed [the] clothes of widowhood her from on her and she covered with the veil and she wrapped herself up and she sat at [the] entrance of Enaim which [is] on [the] road of Timnah towards for she had seen that he had grown up Shelah and she not she had been given to him to a wife.
15 Juda, l’ayant vue, la prit pour une femme de mauvaise vie; car elle avait couvert son visage.
And he saw her Judah and he considered her to a prostitute for she had covered face her.
16 Il se dirigea de son côté, vers le chemin, et dit: « Laisse-moi aller vers toi. » Car il ignorait que ce fût sa belle-fille. Elle dit: « Que me donneras-tu pour venir vers moi? »
And he turned aside to her to the road and he said give! please let me go into you for not he knew that [was] daughter-in-law his she and she said what? will you give to me that you will come into me.
17 Il répondit: « Je t’enverrai un chevreau du troupeau. » Elle dit: « A condition que tu me donnes un gage jusqu’à ce que tu l’envoies. »
And he said I I will send a kid of goats from the flock and she said if you will give a pledge until sending [it] you.
18 Il dit: Quel gage dois-je te donner? » Elle dit: « Ton anneau, ton cordon et ton bâton que tu tiens à la main. » Il les lui donna et alla vers elle, et elle devint enceinte de lui.
And he said what? [is] the pledge which I will give to you and she said seal your and cord your and staff your which [is] in hand your and he gave [them] to her and he went into her and she conceived to him.
19 Puis, s’étant levée, elle s’en alla; et elle ôta son voile et revêtit ses vêtements de veuve.
And she arose and she went and she removed veil her from on her and she put on [the] clothes of widowhood her.
20 Juda envoya le chevreau par son ami, l’Odollamite, pour retirer le gage des mains de cette femme; mais il ne la trouva point.
And he sent Judah [the] kid of the goats by [the] hand of friend his the Adullamite to take the pledge from [the] hand of the woman and not he found her.
21 Il interrogea les gens du lieu, en disant: « Où est cette prostituée qui se tenait à Enaïm au bord du chemin? » Ils répondirent: « Il n’y a pas eu ici de prostituée. »
And he asked [the] men of place her saying where? [is] the cult prostitute she [was] at Enaim at the road and they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.

And he returned to Judah and he said not I found her and also [the] men of the place they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.

And he said Judah let her take [them] for herself lest we should become contempt there! I sent the kid this and you not you found her.
24 Environ trois mois après, on vint dire à Juda: « Thamar, ta belle-fille, s’est prostituée, et même la voilà enceinte à la suite de ses prostitutions. » Juda dit: « Faites-la sortir et qu’elle soit brûlée. »
And it was - when from three months and it was told to Judah saying she has acted as a prostitute Tamar daughter-in-law your and also here! [she is] pregnant to prostitution and he said Judah bring out her so she may be burned.
25 Comme on l’emmenait dehors, elle envoya dire à son beau-père: « C’est de l’homme à qui ces objets appartiennent que je suis enceinte. Regarde bien, ajouta-t-elle, à qui sont cet anneau, ce cordon et ce bâton. »
She [was being] brought out and she she sent to father-in-law her saying to a man whom these [belong] to him I [am] pregnant and she said investigate please [belong] to whom? the seal and the cord and the staff these.
26 Juda les reconnut et dit: « Elle est plus juste que moi, puisque je ne l’ai pas donnée à Séla, mon fils. » Et il ne la connut plus.
And he recognized [them] Judah and he said she is righteous more than me for since not I gave her to Shelah son my and not he repeated again to know her.
27 Quand elle fut au moment d’enfanter, voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein.
And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.
28 Pendant l’accouchement, l’un d’eux étendit la main; la sage-femme la prit et y attacha un fil écarlate, en disant: « C’est celui-ci qui est sorti le premier. »
And it was when gave birth she and he put out a hand and she took the midwife and she tied on hand his a scarlet thread saying this one he came out first.
