1 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu-rĩ, Juda agĩtiga ariũ a ithe agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ gũikara na mũndũ wa Adulamu wetagwo Hira.
Saa bere no mu ara na Yuda tu fii ne nuabarimanom no nkyɛn ne Adulamni barima bi a wɔfrɛ no Hira kɔtenae.
2 Juda arĩ kũu agĩcemania na mwarĩ wa Mũkaanani wetagwo Shua. Akĩmũhikia na agĩkoma nake;
Ɛhɔ na Yuda kohyiaa Kanaanni beae bi a ɔyɛ ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Sua no babea. Yuda waree Sua babea no.

6 Maagimara Juda akĩgũrĩra Eri ũrĩa warĩ irigithathi rĩake, mũtumia wetagwo Tamaru.
Bere a Yuda abakan Er nyin no, wɔwaree ababaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Tamar maa no.
7 No Eri, irigithathi rĩa Juda, aarĩ mwaganu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmũũraga.
Esiane sɛ na Yuda abakan Er yɛ omumɔyɛfo wɔ Awurade anim no nti, Awurade kum no.
8 Nake Juda akĩĩra Onani atĩrĩ, “Koma na mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyũkwa, ũmũhingĩrie ũrĩa wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmwĩka ũrĩ mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuri wake, nĩguo ũciarĩre mũrũ wa nyũkwa rũciaro.”
Er wu akyi no, Yuda ka kyerɛɛ Er akyiba Onan se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ woware okunafo Tamar, sɛnea yɛn amanne te no, na sɛ wo ne no wo a, mma no ayɛ wo nua no diadefo.”
9 Nake Onani nĩamenyaga atĩ rũciaro rũu rũtigatuĩka rwake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio o akoma na mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina, agaita mbeũ ya ũciari thĩ, nĩguo ndagaciarĩre mũrũ wa nyina rũciaro.
Esiane sɛ na Onan mpɛ sɛ ɔbɛwo akyɛ a mmofra no renyɛ nʼankasa mma nti, sɛ ɔne okunafo Tamar kɔda a, ɔmma ne ho nsu no ngu ɔbea no mu. Mmom, ɔma no gu fam sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔrenwo ɔba a ɛbɛyɛ ne nua owufo no de.
10 Ũndũ ũcio eekire warĩ mũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; nĩ ũndũ ũcio o nake akĩũragwo nĩ Jehova.
Esiane sɛ nea ɔyɛe no ansɔ Awurade ani, sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔwo ba ma ne nua owufo no nti, okum ɔno nso.
11 Juda akĩĩra Tamaru mũtumia wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũtũũre ũrĩ wa ndigwa gwa thoguo mũciĩ nginya mũrũ wakwa Shela agimare.” Tondũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “O nake Shela ahota gũkua ta ariũ a nyina.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Tamaru agĩthiĩ gũtũũra mũciĩ gwa ithe.
Na Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼase okunafo Tamar se, “Tu na kɔtena wʼagya fi sɛ okunafo kosi sɛ me babarima Sala benyin.” Na osuro sɛ, Sela nso bewu, sɛnea ne nuanom mpanyimfo Er ne Onan wuwui no. Enti Tamar tu kɔtenaa nʼagya fi hɔ.
12 Thuutha wa ihinda iraaya, mũtumia wa Juda, mwarĩ wa Shua, agĩkua. Na kahinda ka macakaya gaathira na Juda athirwo nĩ kĩeha, akĩambata agĩthiĩ Timina kũrĩ andũ arĩa meenjaga ngʼondu ciake guoya, na agĩthiĩ hamwe na mũrata wake, Hira wa Adulamu.
Mmere bi akyi no, Yuda yere a ɔyɛ Sua babea no nso wui. Bere a woyii Yuda fii kuna mu no, ɔkɔɔ ne nguanhotwitwafo nkyɛn wɔ Timna. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔne nʼadamfo Adulamni Hira na ɛkɔe.
13 Na rĩrĩa Tamaru eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Ithe wa mũthuuriguo erekeire Timina kwenja ngʼondu ciake guoya,”
Obi bɛbɔɔ Tamar amanneɛ se, “Wʼase Yuda rebɛsen akɔ Timna akotwitwa ne nguan ho nwi.”
14 akĩruta nguo ciake cia mũtumia wa ndigwa, akĩĩhumbĩra na taama nginya ũthiũ nĩguo ndakae kũmenyeka, agĩikara thĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Enaimu, rĩrĩa rĩarĩ njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Timina. Nĩgũkorwo nĩonire atĩ, o na gũtuĩka Shela aarĩ mũndũ mũgima, Juda ndaheanĩte Tamaru kũrĩ we atuĩke mũtumia wake.
Enti Tamar yii ne kuna ntade no guu hɔ. Ɔfaa nkataanim kataa nʼanim, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara nhu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno Tamar, na ɔkɔtenaa Enaim kurotia wɔ Timna kwan so. Efisɛ ohuu sɛ Sela anyin de, nanso na Yuda mmaa ne babarima no kwan mma ɔmmɛwaree no ɛ.
15 Rĩrĩa Juda aamuonire-rĩ, agĩĩciiria atĩ Tamaru aarĩ mũmaraya tondũ nĩehumbĩrĩte ũthiũ.
Bere a Yuda huu Tamar no, na osusuw sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbea guamanfo bi, efisɛ na wakata nʼanim.
16 Na tondũ ndooĩ atĩ aarĩ mũtumia wa mũriũ, agĩthiĩ harĩ we mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, ĩtĩkĩra ngome nawe.” Mũtumia ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Na nĩ kĩĩ ũkũũhe nĩguo ngome nawe?”
Yuda kɔɔ Tamar nkyɛn wɔ kwankyɛn hɔ a, na onnim sɛ ɔyɛ nʼase. Yuda ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma yɛnkɔ mprempren ara na me ne wo nkɔda.” Tamar bisaa no se, “Sɛ me ne wo kɔda a, wobɛma me dɛn?”
17 Juda akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgũtũmĩra koori kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwakwa.” Mũtumia ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkũndigĩra kĩndũ gĩa kũrũgamĩrĩra kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nginya rĩrĩa ũgaakaneana?”
Yuda buae se, “Mɛma wɔde ɔpapo afi me nguankuw no mu abrɛ wo.” Tamar bisaa no bio se, “Ansa na wode ɔpapo no bɛba no, dɛn na wode bedi wo ho akagyinamu?”
18 Juda akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngũtigĩre kĩĩ gĩa kũrũgamĩrĩra?” Mũtumia ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndigĩra gĩcũhĩ kĩa rũũri rwaku na rũrigi rwakĩo, o na rũthanju rũu rũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Juda agĩtigĩra mũtumia ũcio indo icio na agĩkoma nake; na Tamaru akĩgĩa nda yake.
Yuda nso bisaa no se, “Dɛn ade na wopɛ sɛ mede di me ho akagyinamu?” Tamar buae se, “Nea wode bedi wo ho akagyinamu ne wo nsa so kaa ne ne hama ne saa pema a wukura yi.” Enti Yuda de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa maa Tamar ne no kɔda ma onyinsɛnee.
19 Mũtumia ũcio aarĩkia gwĩthiĩra, akĩaũra taama wake, akĩĩhumba nguo ciake cia mũtumia wa ndigwa rĩngĩ.
Tamar fii hɔ akyi no, okoyii ne nkataanim no guu hɔ, san faa ne kunatam no furae.
20 Rĩrĩa Juda atũmire mũratawe ũcio wa kũu Adulamu na koori nĩgeetha acookerio indo icio cia kũrũgamĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ mũtumia ũcio-rĩ, ndaamuonire.
Yuda de ɔpapo no maa nʼadamfo Adulamni no sɛ, ɔmfa nkɔma ɔbea no, na onnye nneɛma a ɔde dii ne ho akagyinamu no mmrɛ no, nanso wanhu no.
21 Nake akĩũria andũ arĩa maatũũraga kũu atĩrĩ, “Arĩ ha mũmaraya ũrĩa ũraarĩ haha mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Enaimu?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Haha hatirĩ hakorwo na mũmaraya.”
Obisaa kurom hɔfo no se, “Ɛhe na hyiadan mu ɔbea guamanfo a na ɔte Enaim kwankyɛn frɛfrɛ mmarima no wɔ?” Wobuaa no se, “Yenni hyiadan mu ɔbea guamanfo biara wɔ ha.”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcooka kũrĩ Juda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndinamuona. Hamwe na ũguo-rĩ, andũ arĩa matũũraga hau moigire atĩrĩ, ‘Haha hatirĩ hakorwo na mũmaraya.’”
Enti ɔsan kɔɔ Yuda hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Manhu no. Na kurom hɔfo nso kae se, ‘Hyiadan mu ɔbea oguamanfo biara nni ha.’”
23 Nake Juda akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩakĩrekwo aikare na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo, kana tũtuĩke a gũthekererwo. Ningĩ-rĩ, nĩngũmũtũmĩire koori gaka, no ndũnamuona.”
Yuda nso kae se, “Ma no mfa nneɛma no, na anyɛ saa a wɔbɛserew yɛn. Wo ara wudi ho adanse sɛ memaa wode ɔpapo no kɔe, nanso woanhu no.”
24 Thuutha wa mĩeri ĩtatũ, Juda akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Tamaru mũtumia wa mũrũguo nĩehĩtie, akahũũra ũmaraya, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩ na nda.” Juda akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mumiei mũmũrehe, acinwo akue!”
Ɛbɛyɛ asram abiɛsa akyi no, Yuda tee sɛ nʼase Tamar abɔ aguaman, anyinsɛn. Ɔtee saa asɛm no, ɔkae se, “Monkɔkyere no mmra, na yɛnhyew no nkum no.”
25 Na rĩrĩa oimagio-rĩ, agĩtũma ndũmĩrĩri kũrĩ ithe wa mũthuuriwe, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ na nda ya mũndũ ũrĩa mwene indo ici.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rora kana no ũmenye nũũ mwene gĩcũhĩ gĩkĩ kĩ na mũhũũri, na rũrigi rũrũ, o na rũthanju rũrũ.”
Wɔkɔkyeree Tamar de no reba abekum no no, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ nʼase Yuda se, “Onipa a ne nneɛma ni no na ɔne me nyinsɛnee. Monhwɛ sɛ mubehu onipa ko a saa nsa so kaa ne ne hama ne pema yi yɛ ne de no ana.”
26 Juda agĩcimenya, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ nĩ mũthingu kũngĩra; ekĩte ũguo nĩgũkorwo ndiamũheanire kũrĩ mũrũ wakwa Shela.” Juda ndaacookire gũkoma nake rĩngĩ.
Yuda gye too mu se, saa nneɛma no yɛ ne dea. Ɔtoaa so se, “Ɔbea yi yɛ ɔtreneeni sen me, efisɛ mamfa no amma me babarima Sela anware.” Efi saa bere no, Yuda ankɔ Tamar ho bio.
27 Rĩrĩa ihinda rĩake rĩakinyire rĩa gũciara-rĩ, kwarĩ na tũhĩĩ twĩrĩ twa mahatha nda yake.
Tamar awo duu so no, ɔwoo nta.
28 Na rĩrĩa aaciaraga-rĩ, kamwe gatuo gagĩcomora guoko; nake mũmũciarithia akĩoya uthi mũtune, akĩwoherera guoko-inĩ gwako, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe woima mbere.”
Bere a ɔrewo no, nta no mu baako de ne nsa dii kan bae. Enti ɔbea a ɔregye no awo no de asaawa kɔkɔɔ bɔɔ abofra no bakɔn, kae se, “Oyi na wɔwoo no kan.”
29 No rĩrĩa aacookirie guoko na thĩinĩ, mũrũ wa nyina akiuma, nake mũciarithania akiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ nĩguo weturĩra njĩra!” Nake agĩtuuo Perezu.
Saa abofra no twee ne nsa san kɔɔ mu. Ɔsan twee ne nsa kɔɔ mu no, wɔwoo ne nua a ɔka ne ho no mmom. Na ɔwogyefo no kae se, “Abususɛm bɛn ni!” Wɔtoo no din Peres.
30 Nake mũrũ wa nyina ũrĩa warĩ na uthi mũtune guoko-inĩ gwake akiuma, nake agĩtuuo Zera.
Akyiri no, ɔwoo ne nuabarima a na asaawa kɔkɔɔ bɔ ne nsakɔn no. Wɔtoo ɔno nso din Serah.
