Jenèz 38
1 Epi li te vin rive nan lè sa a ke Judas te kite frè l yo, pou te vizite yon sèten Adilamit ki te rele Hira.
And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 La, Juda te wè fi a yon sèten Kananeyen ki te rele Schua. Li te pran li e te antre an relasyon ak li.
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 Konsa, li te vin ansent, li te fè yon fis, e li te nonmen li Er.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 Epi li te vin ansent ankò, li te bay yon fis, ki te nonmen Onan.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Li te fè toujou yon lòt fis, e li te nonmen li Schéla. Li te nan Czib lè li te fè li.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 Alò, Juda te pran yon madanm pou Er, premye ne li a, e non li te Tamar.
And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
7 Men Er, premye ne a Juda a te mechan nan zye a SENYÈ a e SENYÈ a te pran vi li.
And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 Konsa, Juda te di a Onan: “Antre an relasyon ak madanm a frè ou a; fè devwa ou kòm bòfrè li, e fè leve yon posterite pou frè ou.”
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 Onan te konnen ke posterite sa yo pa t ap pou li. Konsa, li te jete jèm li an atè pou li pa fè pitit pou frè li.
And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
10 Men sa li te fè a pa t fè SENYÈ a plezi. Li te pran vi li tou.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
11 Alò Juda te di a bofi li, Tamar: “Rete kòm vèv lakay papa ou jiskaske fis mwen an, Schéla fin grandi.” Paske li te reflechi: “Mwen pè pou li menm tou pa ta kapab mouri menm jan ak frè li yo.” Epi Tamar te ale viv lakay papa li.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
12 Alò, apre yon tan konsiderab, fi Schua a, madanm a Juda, te mouri. Epi lè tan tristès alanmò a te fini, Juda te monte vè ouvriye ki t ap taye lenn mouton bò kote Thimna yo, li menm avèk zanmi li, Hira, Adilamit lan.
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
13 Konsa, yo te di a Tamar: “Veye byen, bòpè ou ap monte vè Thimna pou taye lenn mouton li yo.”
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 Alò, li te retire vètman vèv li a, li te kouvri tèt li avèk yon vwal, li te vlope tèt li, e li te chita nan pòtay Énaïm nan, ki nan wout pou rive Thimna. Paske li te wè ke Shéla te fin grandi, e yo pa t vin prezante li devan li kòm madanm.
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
15 Lè Juda te wè l, li te panse ke li te yon pwostitiye, paske li te kouvri figi li.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 Konsa, li te vire bò kote li nan wout la, e li te di: “Alò, kite m antre an relasyon ak ou.” Paske li pa t konnen ke li te bèlfi li. Epi fi a te di: “Kisa w ap ban m pou ou ka antre an relasyon ak mwen?”
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
17 Li te di konsa: “Mwen va voye ba ou yon jèn kabrit ki sòti nan twoupo a.” Men li te di: “Èske ou va ban m yon bagay kòm yon sèman pou jis lè ou voye l?”
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
18 Li te di: “Kisa pou m ta bay ou?” Epi li te di: “Ban m so, kòd avèk baton ki nan men ou an.” Konsa, li te bay yo a li menm. Li te antre an relasyon ak li, e vèv la te vin ansent pa li menm.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Tamar te leve ale. Li te retire vwal la, e li te remete vètman a vèv yo.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Lè Juda te voye jèn kabrit la ak zanmi li, Adilamit lan, pou resevwa sa ke li te bay kòm sèman an, li pa t twouve li.
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
21 Li te mande mesye yo kote a: “Kote jennès tanp lan ki te akote wout la nan Énaïm nan?” Men yo te di li: “Pa t gen jennès tanp isit la.”
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 Li te retounen a Juda, e te di: “Mwen pa t twouve li. Anplis de sa, mesye nan zòn di ke: ‘Pa t gen yon jennès tanp nan zòn sa a.’”
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
23 Juda te di l: “Kite li pran yo pou kont li, sinon n ap vin yon betiz devan tout moun. Anfen, mwen te voye jèn kabrit sa a, men ou pa t twouve li.”
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
24 Alò, li te anviwon twa mwa pita ke Juda te enfòme: “Bèlfi ou Tamar te jwe wòl jennès la. Gade byen, li vin ansent nan koze sa a.” Konsa, Juda te di: “Mete li deyò e kite yo brile li.”
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
25 Epi pandan yo t ap mete li deyò, li te voye kote bòpè li pou di: “Mwen avèk pitit pa mesye ki se mèt a bagay sa yo.” Anplis, li te di: “Souple, fè yon ankèt pou vin aprann pou kilès so siyal sila a ye, e pou kilès kòd avèk baton sila yo ye?”
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
26 Juda te rekonèt yo, e te di: “Li pi jis pase mwen, paske mwen pa t bay li fis mwen an, Schéla.” Epi li pa t gen relasyon avèk li ankò.
And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
27 Li te vin rive nan lè ke li t ap akouche a, gade byen, te gen jimo nan vant li.
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 Anplis de sa, li te rive pandan li t ap akouche a ke youn te lonje yon men deyò, e fanm saj la te mare yon fisèl wouj sou men l. Li te di: “Se sila a ki sòti avan”.
And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
29 Men li te vin rive ke pandan li t ap rale men l tounen, frè l la te sòti avan. Epi li te di: “A la chemen ou gen tan fè pou kont ou!” Konsa, li te nonmen li Pérets.
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
30 Apre, frè l la te vin sòti avèk fisèl wouj mare nan men l, e li te nonmen li Zerah.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
