Farawa 38

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

And it comes to pass, at that time, that Judah goes down from his brothers, and turns aside to a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] 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 sees there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and takes her, and goes in to her.

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

And she conceives, and bears a son, and he calls his name Er;

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

and she conceives again, and bears a son, and calls 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 adds again, and bears a son, and calls his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.

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

And Judah takes a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name [is] Tamar;

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

and Er, Judah’s firstborn, is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH puts him to death.

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 says to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother, and marry her, 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 Onan knows that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it has come to pass, if he has gone in to his brother’s wife, that he has destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to 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 that which he has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He puts him also to death.

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 Judah says to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Abide [as] a widow at your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up”; for he said, “Lest he die—even he—like his brothers”; and Tamar goes and dwells at 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 the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah’s wife, dies; and Judah is comforted, and goes up to his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath.

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

And it is declared to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your husband’s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock”;

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 turns aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covers herself with a veil, and wraps herself up, and sits in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way to Timnath, for she has seen that Shelah has grown up, and she has not been given to him for a wife.

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

And Judah sees her, and reckons her for a harlot, for she has 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 turns aside to her by the way and says, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he has not known that she [is] his daughter-in-law; and she says, “What do you give to me, that you may 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 says, “I send a kid of the goats from the flock.” And she says, “Do you give a pledge 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 says, “What [is] the pledge that I give to you?” And she says, “Your seal, and your ribbon, and your staff which [is] in your hand”; and he gives to her, and goes in to her, and she conceives to him;

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

and she rises, and goes, and turns aside her veil from off her, and puts 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 sends the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he has not found her.

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 asks the men of her place, saying, “Where [is] the separated one—she in Enayim, by the way?” And they say, “There has not been in this [place] a separated one.”

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 turns back to Judah and says, “I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There has not been in this [place] a separated one,”

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 says, “Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; behold, I sent this kid, and 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 comes to pass about three months [after], that it is declared to Judah, saying, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has committed fornication; and also, behold, she has conceived by fornication”: and Judah says, “Bring her out—and she is burned.”

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?”

She is brought out, and she has sent to her husband’s father, saying, “To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant”; and she says, “Please discern whose these [are]—the seal, and the ribbons, 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 discerns and says, “She has been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to my son Shelah”; and he has not added to know her again.

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

And it comes to pass in the time of her bearing, that behold, twins [are] 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 comes to pass in her bearing, that [one] gives out a hand, and the midwife takes and binds on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This has 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 it comes to pass as he draws back his hand, that behold, his brother has come out, and she says, “What! You have broken forth—the breach [is] on you”; and he calls his name Perez;

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

and afterward his brother has come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calls his name Zerah.
