Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uJuda wehla esuka kubafowabo, waphambukela endodeni yeAdulamu, obizo layo linguHira.

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

UJuda wasebona lapho indodakazi yendoda umKhanani, obizo lakhe linguShuwa; wayithatha wangena kuyo.

Yasithatha isisu, yazala indodana; waseyitha ibizo layo uEri.

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

Yasiphinda ithatha isisu, yazala indodana; yayitha ibizo layo uOnani.

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

Yasisengezelela futhi yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo layo uShela; kodwa wayeseKezibi ekuyizaleni kwayo.

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

UJuda wasemthathela uEri izibulo lakhe umfazi, njalo ibizo lakhe linguTamari.

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

Kodwa uEri, izibulo likaJuda, wayemubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasimbulala.

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.”

UJuda wasesithi kuOnani: Ngena kumkamfowenu, wenze kuye imfanelo yomfowabo wendoda, umvusele umfowenu inzalo.

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.

UOnani wayesazi-ke ukuthi inzalo kayiyikuba ngeyakhe. Kwasekusithi lapho engena kumkamfowabo, wayichithela emhlabathini, ukuze angamniki umfowabo inzalo.

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

Kwasekusiba kubi emehlweni eNkosi lokho akwenzayo; ngakho yambulala laye.

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.

UJuda wasesithi kuTamari umalokazana wakhe: Hlala ungumfelokazi endlini kayihlo, aze akhule uShela indodana yami; ngoba wathi: Hlezi laye afe njengabafowabo. UTamari wasehamba wahlala endlini kayise.

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.

Emva kwensuku ezinengi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa, umkaJuda. UJuda eseziduduzile, wenyukela kubagundi bezimvu zakhe eThiminathi, yena lomngane wakhe uHira umAdulamu.

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

Kwasekusaziswa kuTamari ukuthi: Khangela, uyihlozala wenyukela eThiminathi ukugunda izimvu zakhe.

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.

Wasekhulula izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe, wazimbomboza ngesimbombozo, wazigoqela, wahlala esangweni iEnayima, elisendleleni eya eThiminathi; ngoba wabona ukuthi uShela wayesekhulile, njalo wayengamnikwanga ukuba ngumkakhe.

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

Lapho uJuda esembonile, wacabanga ukuthi uliwule, ngoba embomboze ubuso bakhe.

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?”

Wasephambukela kuye endleleni wathi: Woza-ke, ngingene kuwe; ngoba wayengazi ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe. Wasesithi: Uzanginikani ukuze ungene kimi?

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?”

Wasesithi: Mina ngizathumela izinyane lembuzi elivela emhlanjini. Wasesithi: Uzanginika isibambiso uze ulithumele yini?

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.

Wasesithi: Sibambiso bani engizakunika sona? Wasesithi: Indandatho elophawu lwakho, lentambo yakho, lodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho. Wasemupha, wangena kuye; wasethatha isisu sakhe.

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

Wasesukuma wahamba, wakhulula isimbombozo sakhe, wafaka izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe.

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.

UJuda wasethumela izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somngane wakhe umAdulamu ukuze athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazana; kodwa kamtholanga.

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.”

Wasebuza amadoda endawo yakowesifazana esithi: Lingaphi iwule elaliseEnayima endleleni? Asesithi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.

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.’”

Wasebuyela kuJuda wathi: Kangilitholanga, futhi lamadoda endawo athi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.

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.”

UJuda wasesithi: Kalizithathele, hlezi sideleleke; khangela, ngithumele lelizinyane, kodwa wena kawumtholanga.

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!”

Kwasekusithi phose emva kwenyanga ezintathu kwaziswa kuJuda ukuthi: UTamari umalokazana wakhe ufebile, futhi khangela-ke, ulesisu sokufetshwa. UJuda wasesithi: Mkhupheni atshiswe.

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?”

Esekhutshiwe, yena wathumela kuyisezala, esithi: Ngoniwe yindoda engumnini walezizinto. Wathi futhi: Ake uhlolisise ukuthi ngezikabani lezizinto, indandatho elophawu lezintambo lodondolo.

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.

UJuda wasezivuma wathi: Ulungile kulami, ngakho njengoba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Njalo kabanga esamazi futhi.

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

Kwasekusithi esikhathini sokubeletha kwakhe, khangela-ke, amaphahla ayesesiswini sakhe.

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.”

Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe, elinye lakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wasithatha, wabopha intambo ebomvu esandleni salo, esithi: Lo uzaphuma kuqala.

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.

Kodwa kwathi lifinyeza isandla salo, khangela-ke umfowabo waphuma; wasesithi: Ufohle njani? Ukufohla kakube phezu kwakho. Wasemutha ibizo lakhe uPerezi.

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

Emva kwalokhu kwasekuphuma umfowabo owayelentambo ebomvu esandleni sakhe; wasemutha ibizo lakhe uZera.
