Farawa 38
1 A wannan lokaci, Yahuda ya bar’yan’uwansa ya gangara don yă zauna da mutumin Adullam, mai suna Hira.
It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an 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;
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
3 ta yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa, wanda aka kira Er.
She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
4 Ta sāke yin ciki, ta haifi wani ɗa, ta kira shi Onan.
She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 Ta kuma haifi wani ɗa har yanzu, aka kuwa ba shi suna Shela. A Kezib ne ta haife shi.
Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
6 Sai Yahuda ya auro wa Er mata, ɗansa na fari, sunanta Tamar.
And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Amma Er, ɗan farin Yahuda mugu ne a fuskar Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi.
Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so 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.”
Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for 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.
But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 Abin nan da ya yi mugunta ce a gaban Ubangiji, saboda haka Ubangiji ya kashe shi, shi ma.
And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so 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.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived 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.
After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at 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 Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going 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.
She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 Sa’ad da Yahuda ya gan ta, ya yi tsammani karuwa ce, gama ta lulluɓe fuskarta.
When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because 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?”
He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"
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?”
He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee 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.
He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 Bayan ta tafi, sai ta tuɓe lulluɓin, ta sāke sa tufafin gwaurancinta.
And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
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.
Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find 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.”
Then he asked the men of the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute 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.’”
He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute 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.”
Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find 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!”
Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be 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?”
When she was brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, 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.
Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.
27 Sa’ad da lokaci ya yi da za tă haihu, ashe, tagwaye’yan maza ne suke cikinta.
It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were 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.”
As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one 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.
It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.
30 Sa’an nan ɗan’uwansa wanda yake da jan zare a hannunsa ya fito, aka kuma ba shi suna Zera.
Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
