Esiane sɛ na Yuda abakan Er yɛ omumuyɛfoɔ wɔ Awurade anim no enti, Awurade kumm 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.”

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.
Afei, Yuda ka kyerɛɛ nʼase okunafoɔ Tamar sɛ, “Tu na kɔtena wʼagya fie sɛ okunafoɔ kɔsi sɛ me babarima Sala bɛnyini.” Na ɔsuro sɛ, Sela nso bɛwu, sɛdeɛ ne nuanom mpanimfoɔ Er ne Onan wuwuiɛ no. Enti, Tamar tu kɔtenaa nʼagya fie 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.
Ɛwɔ hɔ ara na Yuda yere a ɔyɛ Sua babaa no nso wuiɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔyii Yuda firii kuna mu no, ɔkɔɔ ne nnwanhotwitwafoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Timna. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔne nʼadamfo Adulamni Hira na ɛkɔeɛ.
13 Na rĩrĩa Tamaru eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Ithe wa mũthuuriguo erekeire Timina kwenja ngʼondu ciake guoya,”
Obi bɛbɔɔ Tamar amaneɛ sɛ, “Wʼase Yuda rebɛtwam akɔ Timna akɔtwitwa ne nnwan 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 ntadeɛ no guu hɔ. Ɔfaa nkatanimu kataa nʼanim, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara nhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno Tamar. Afei, ɔkɔtenaa Enaim kurotia wɔ Timna ɛkwan so. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ Sela anyini deɛ, nanso na Yuda mmaa ne babarima no kwan mmaa ɔmmɛwaree no.
15 Rĩrĩa Juda aamuonire-rĩ, agĩĩciiria atĩ Tamaru aarĩ mũmaraya tondũ nĩehumbĩrĩte ũthiũ.

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 ɛkwankyɛn hɔ a, na ɔnnim sɛ ɔyɛ nʼase. Yuda ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ seesei ara na me ne wo nkɔda.” Tamar bisaa no sɛ, “Sɛ me ne wo kɔda a, wobɛma me ɛdeɛn?”
17 Juda akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgũtũmĩra koori kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwakwa.” Mũtumia ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkũndigĩra kĩndũ gĩa kũrũgamĩrĩra kĩĩranĩro gĩaku nginya rĩrĩa ũgaakaneana?”
Yuda buaa sɛ, “Mɛma wɔde ɔpapo afiri me nnwankuo no mu abrɛ wo.” Tamar bisaa no bio sɛ, “Ansa na wode ɔpapo no bɛba no, ɛdeɛn na wode bɛdi wo ho agyinamu?”
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 sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn adeɛ na wopɛ sɛ mede di me ho agyinamu?” Tamar buaa sɛ, “Deɛ fa di wo ho agyinamu ne wo nsa so kawa ne nʼahoma ne saa poma a ɛkura wo yi.” Enti, Yuda de saa nneɛma yi nyinaa maa Tamar ne no kɔdaeɛ, ma ɔnyinsɛneeɛ.
19 Mũtumia ũcio aarĩkia gwĩthiĩra, akĩaũra taama wake, akĩĩhumba nguo ciake cia mũtumia wa ndigwa rĩngĩ.
Tamar firii hɔ akyiri no, ɔkɔyii ne nkatanimu no guu hɔ, sane faa ne kunatam firaeɛ.
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 ɔbaa no, na ɔnnye nneɛma a ɔde dii ne ho agyinamu no mmrɛ no no, wanhu no. Enti, Adulamni no

bisaa kurom hɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛhe na hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ a na ɔte Enaim kwankyɛn frɛfrɛ mmarima no wɔ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛnni hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ 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, ɔsane kɔɔ Yuda hɔ, kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Manhunu no. Ɛnna kurom hɔfoɔ nso kaa sɛ, ‘Hyiadan mu ɔbaa odwamanfoɔ 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 kaa sɛ, “Ma no mfa nneɛma no, na anyɛ saa a wɔbɛsere yɛn. Wo ara wodi ho adanseɛ sɛ memaa wode ɔpapo no kɔeɛ, nanso woanhunu 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 abosome mmiɛnsa akyiri no, Yuda tee sɛ nʼase Tamar abɔ adwaman, anyinsɛn. Ɔtee saa asɛm no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Monkɔkye no mmra, na yɛnhye no, nku 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 abɛkum no no, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ nʼase Yuda sɛ, “Onipa a ne nneɛma nie no na ɔne me nyinsɛneeɛ. Monhwɛ sɛ mobɛhunu onipa ko a saa nsa so kawa ne nʼahoma ne poma yi yɛ ne dea no anaa.”
26 Juda agĩcimenya, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia ũyũ nĩ mũthingu kũngĩra; ekĩte ũguo nĩgũkorwo ndiamũheanire kũrĩ mũrũ wakwa Shela.” Juda ndaacookire gũkoma nake rĩngĩ.
