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 Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 A can Yahuda ya sadu da’yar wani Bakan’ane, mai suna Shuwa. Ya aure ta, ya kuma kwana da ita;
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 ta yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa, wanda aka kira Er.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 Ta sāke yin ciki, ta haifi wani ɗa, ta kira shi Onan.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Ta kuma haifi wani ɗa har yanzu, aka kuwa ba shi suna Shela. A Kezib ne ta haife shi.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 Sai Yahuda ya auro wa Er mata, ɗansa na fari, sunanta Tamar.
And Judas took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Amma Er, ɗan farin Yahuda mugu ne a fuskar Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi.
And Er, the firstborn of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed 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 Judas said to Aunan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your 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 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 Abin nan da ya yi mugunta ce a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi, shi ma.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he killed 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.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit you a widow in the house of your 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 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 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 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Tamar cewa, “Surukinki yana kan hanyarsa zuwa Timna don askin tumakinsa,”
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Thamna, 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 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 Sa’ad da Yahuda ya gan ta, ya yi tsammani karuwa ce, gama ta lulluɓe fuskarta.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
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 went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to you; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What will you give me if you should come in to 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 you a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if you will give me an earnest, until you 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 is the earnest that I shall give you? and she said, Your ring, and your bracelet, and the staff in your hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Bayan ta tafi, sai ta tuɓe lulluɓin, ta sāke sa tufafin gwaurancinta.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off 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 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 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.”
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the wayside? and they said, There was 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 Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is 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 Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but you have 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 after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar your 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 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?”
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 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 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 Sa’ad da lokaci ya yi da za tă haihu, ashe, tagwaye’yan maza ne suke cikinta.
And it came to pass when she was in labor, that she also had twins 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 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 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 when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of you? and she called his name, Phares.
30 Sa’an nan ɗan’uwansa wanda yake da jan zare a hannunsa ya fito, aka kuma ba shi suna Zera.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
