Farawa 38

1 A wannan lokaci, Yahuda ya bar’yan’uwansa ya gangara don yă zauna da mutumin Adullam, mai suna Hira.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 A can Yahuda ya sadu da’yar wani Bakan’ane, mai suna Shuwa. Ya aure ta, ya kuma kwana da ita;

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her.

3 ta yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa, wanda aka kira Er.

And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.

4 Ta sāke yin ciki, ta haifi wani ɗa, ta kira shi Onan.

And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.

5 Ta kuma haifi wani ɗa har yanzu, aka kuwa ba shi suna Shela. A Kezib ne ta haife shi.

And she yet again bore a son, and called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.

6 Sai Yahuda ya auro wa Er mata, ɗansa na fari, sunanta Tamar.

And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.

7 Amma Er, ɗan farin Yahuda mugu ne a fuskar Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi.

And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

8 Sa’an nan Yahuda ya ce wa Onan, “Ka kwana da matar ɗan’uwanka ka cika wajibinka gare ta a matsayin ɗan’uwan miji, don ka samar wa ɗan’uwanka’ya’ya.”

And Judah said unto Onan: 'Go in unto thy brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.'

9 Amma Onan ya san cewa’ya’yan ba za su zama nasa ba; saboda haka a duk sa’ad da ya kwana da matar ɗan’uwansa, sai yă zub da maniyyinsa a ƙasa don kada yă samar wa ɗan’uwansa’ya’ya.

And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.

10 Abin nan da ya yi mugunta ce a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi, shi ma.

And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD; and He slew him also.

11 Sai Yahuda ya ce wa surukarsa Tamar, “Ki yi zama kamar gwauruwa a gidan mahaifinki sai ɗana Shela ya yi girma.” Gama ya yi tunani, “Shi ma zai mutu, kamar’yan’uwansa.” Saboda haka Tamar ta je ta zauna a gidan mahaifinta.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law: 'Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown up'; for he said: 'Lest he also die, like his brethren.' And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

12 Bayan an daɗe sai matar Yahuda,’yar Shuwa ta rasu. Sa’ad da Yahuda ya gama makoki, sai ya haura zuwa Timna, zuwa wurin mutanen da suke askin tumakinsa, abokinsa Hira mutumin Adullam kuwa ya tafi tare da shi.

And in process of time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Tamar cewa, “Surukinki yana kan hanyarsa zuwa Timna don askin tumakinsa,”

And it was told Tamar, saying: 'Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.'

14 sai ta tuɓe rigunan gwaurancinta ta rufe kanta da lulluɓi don ta ɓad da kamanninta, sa’an nan ta je ta zauna a ƙofar shigar Enayim, wadda take a hanyar zuwa Timna. Gama ta lura cewa ko da yake Shela yanzu ya yi girma, ba a ba da ita gare shi ta zama matarsa ba.

And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entrance of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife.

15 Sa’ad da Yahuda ya gan ta, ya yi tsammani karuwa ce, gama ta lulluɓe fuskarta.

When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she had covered her face.

16 Bai san cewa ita surukarsa ce ba, sai ya ratse zuwa wurinta a gefen hanya ya ce, “Zo mana, in kwana da ke.” Sai ta ce, “Me za ka ba ni in na kwana da kai?”

And he turned unto her by the way, and said: 'Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee'; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said: 'What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?'

17 Ya ce, “Zan aika miki da ɗan akuya daga garkena.” Sai ta ce, “Za ka ba ni wani abu jingina, kafin ka aika da shi?”

And he said: 'I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock.' And she said: 'Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?'

18 Ya ce, “Wace jingina zan ba ki?” Sai ta amsa, “Hatiminka da ka rataye a wuya da kuma sandan da yake a hannunka.” Ya ba da su gare ta, ya kuma kwana da ita, sai ta yi ciki.

And he said: 'What pledge shall I give thee?' And she said: 'Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand.' And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

19 Bayan ta tafi, sai ta tuɓe lulluɓin, ta sāke sa tufafin gwaurancinta.

And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 Ana cikin haka sai Yahuda ya aika da ɗan akuya ta hannun abokinsa mutumin Adullam don yă karɓo masa jinginar daga wurin macen, amma bai same ta a can ba.

And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.

21 Ya tambayi mutanen da suke zama a can ya ce, “Ina karuwar haikalin da take a bakin hanya a Enayim?” Sai suka ce, “Ba a taɓa kasance da karuwar haikali a nan ba.”

Then he asked the men of her place, saying: 'Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the wayside?' And they said: 'There hath been no harlot here.'

22 Saboda haka sai ya koma zuwa wurin Yahuda ya ce, “Ban same ta ba. Ban da haka ma, mutanen da suke zama a can, sun ce, ‘Ba a taɓa kasance da wata karuwar haikali a nan ba.’”

And he returned to Judah, and said: 'I have not found her; and also the men of the place said: There hath been no harlot here.'

23 Sa’an nan Yahuda ya ce, “Bari tă riƙe kayan kiɗa garin nema mu zama abin dariya. Ni kam, na aika da tunkiyar amma ba a same ta ba.”

And Judah said: 'Let her take it, lest we be put to shame; behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'

24 Bayan misalin wata uku sai aka faɗa wa Yahuda cewa, “Tamar, surukarka ta yi laifin karuwanci, a sakamakon haka yanzu ta yi ciki.” Yahuda ya ce, “A fid da ita, a ƙone!”

And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying: 'Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by harlotry.' And Judah said: 'Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.'

25 Yayinda ake fitar da ita, sai ta aika saƙo zuwa wurin surukinta, ta ce, “Mutumin da yake da waɗannan kayan ne ya yi mini ciki.” Ta kuma ƙara da cewa, “Duba ko za ka gane da hatimin nan, da abin ɗamaran nan, da kuma sandan nan, ko na wane ne?”

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: 'By the man, whose these are, am I with child'; and she said: 'Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.'

26 Yahuda ya gane su, sai ya ce, “Ai, ta fi ni gaskiya, da yake ban ba da ita ga ɗana Shela ba.” Bai kuwa ƙara kwana da ita ba.

And Judah acknowledged them, and said: 'She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son.' And he knew her again no more.

27 Sa’ad da lokaci ya yi da za tă haihu, ashe, tagwaye’yan maza ne suke cikinta.

And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

28 Yayinda take haihuwa, ɗaya daga cikinsu ya fid da hannunsa; sai ungonzomar ta ɗauki jan zare ta ɗaura a hannun, ta ce, “Wannan ne ya fito da farko.”

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying: 'This came out first.'

29 Amma sa’ad da ya janye hannunsa, sai ɗan’uwansa ya fito, sai ta ce, “Wato, haka ne ka keta ka fito!” Sai aka ba shi suna Ferez.

And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold his brother came out; and she said: 'Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself?' Therefore his name was called Perez.

30 Sa’an nan ɗan’uwansa wanda yake da jan zare a hannunsa ya fito, aka kuma ba shi suna Zera.

And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah.
