Kinohi 38
1 I A manawa no, iho aku la o Iuda mai kona poe hoahanau aku, a kipa aku la i kekahi kanaka no Adulama, o Hira kona inoa.
About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.
2 Ike aku la o luda i ke kaikamahine a kekahi mamo a Kanaana ilaila, o Sua kona inoa, lawe ae la oia ia ia, a komo aku la io na la.
And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.
3 Hapai iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Era.
And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.
4 Hapai hou iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Onana.
And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.
5 Hapai hou iho la oia a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Sela: ma Keziba oia i kona wa i hanau ai.
Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
6 Lawe ae la o Iuda i wahine na Era, na kana hiapo, o Tamara kona inoa.
Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
7 A ua hewa o Era, o ka hiapo a Iuda imua o Iehova; a pepehi iho la o Iehova ia ia.
And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.
8 I aku la o Iuda ia Onana, E komo aku oe i ka wahine a kou kaikuaana, e mare me ia, a e hooku ae i keiki na kou kaikuaana.
Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.”
9 Ike iho la o Onana, aole nana ke keiki, alaila, i ka manawa ana i komo aku ai i ka wahine a kona kaikuaana, kiki iho la oia i ka mea ma ka honua, o haawi auanei ia i hua na kona kaikuaana.
He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
10 A o ka mea ana i hana'i, ua hewa ia imua o Iehova: a nana hoi ia i pepehi.
And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.
11 Alaila, i aku la o Iuda ia Tamara, E noho kane ole oe ma ka hale o kou makuakane, a ka manawa e nui ai kuu keikikane o Sela: no ka mea, i iho la ia, O make paha hoi oia, e like me kona mau kaikuaana. Hele aku la o Tamara a noho iho la ma ka hale o kona makuakane.
Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived in her father’s house.
12 A nui na la i hala, make iho la ke kaikamahine a Sua, o ka luda wahine; a pau ko Iuda kanikau ana, pii aku la ia i Timenata i kona poe ako hipa, oia a me kona makamaka o Hira no Adulama.
Then, after many days had passed, the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. And when he accepted consolation after his mourning, he went up to the shearers of his sheep at Timnah, he and Hirah, the herdsman of the Adullamite flock.
13 Hai aku la kekahi ia Tamara, Ea, e pii ana kou makuahunowaikane i Timenata e ako i kana hipa.
And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the sheep.
14 Wehe ae la ia i kona mau kapa makena, a uhi iho la ia ia iho i ka palemaka, aahu iho la ia ia iho, a noho iho la ma ka pukapa o Enaima ma kapa alanui e hele ai i Timenata: no ka mea, ike aku la ia, ua nui ae la o Sela, aole hoi i haawiia oia i wahine naua.
And storing away the garments of her widowhood, she took up a veil. And changing her clothing, she sat at the crossroad that leads to Timnah, because Shelah had grown up, and she had not received him as a husband.
15 A ike aku la o Iuda ia ia, manao iho la ia he wahine hookamakama kela; no ka mea, ua paleia kona maka.
And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.
16 Kipa ae la ia io na la ma kapa alanui, i aku la, Ea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai ia'u e komo aku iou la; (no ka mea, aole ia i ike, o kana hunona wahine ia.) Ninau mai la kela, Heaha kau e haawi mai ai ia'u, i mea e komo mai ai oe i o'u nei?
And entering to her, he said, “Permit me to join with you.” For he did not know her to be his daughter-in-law. And she responded, “What will you give to me, to enjoy me as a concubine?”
17 I aku la ia, E hoouka aku au i wahi kao keiki no ka poe holoholona mai I mai la kela, Aole anei oe e haawi mai i hoailona, a hoouka mai oe ia mea?
He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And again, she said, “I will allow what you want, if you give me a pledge, until you may send what you promise.”
18 I aku la oia, Heaha ka hoailona a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe? I mai la kela, O kou apolima, me kou kaula hoolewa, a me ke kookoo maloko o kou lima. Haawi aku la oia ia ia, a komo aku la io na la, a hapai iho la kela ma ona la.
Judah said, “What do you want to be given for a pledge?” She responded, “Your ring and bracelet, and the staff that you hold in your hand.” Thereupon, the woman, from one sexual encounter, conceived.
19 Ku ae la ia, hele aku la, a waiho iho la i kona pale maka, a aahu hou iho la i kona mau kapa no ka noho wahine kanemake ana.
And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.
20 Hoouka aku la o Iuda i ke kao keiki ma ka lima o kona makamaka no Adulama, i loaa mai ai kana hooiaio mai ka lima mai o ka wahine: aole nae i loaa ua wahine la ia ia.
Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found her,
21 Ninau aku la ia i na kanaka o ia wahi, i aku la, Auhea la ka wahine hookamakama i noho ma Enaima, ma kapa alanui? I mai la lakou, Aohe wahine hookamakama ia nei.
he questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”
22 Hoi hou aku la ia io Iuda la i aku la, Aohe i loaa ia ia'u; a ua i mai hoi na kanaka o ia wahi, aole wahine hookamakama ia nei.
He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”
23 I aku la o Iuda, E aho no e lilo ia mau mea nona, o hoohilahilaia kaua: aia hoi, hoouka aku no au i keia kao keiki, aole ka i loaa ka wahine ia oe.
Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did not find her.”
24 A hala na malama ekolu paha, hai mai la kekahi ia Iuda, i ka i ana, Ua moekolohe iho nei kau hunonawahine o Tamara; aia hoi, ua hapai oia ma ka moekolohe. I aku la o Iuda, E kaiia mai oia, i puhiia'i ia i ke ahi.
And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”
25 A kaiia'ku oia, hoouna mai la ia, i mai la i kona makuahunowaikane, Na ke kanaka nana keia mau mea au i hapai ai. I mai la hoi oia, E nana oe, ea, i ike i ka mea nana keia mau mea, o ke apolima, me ke kaula hoolewa, a me ke kookoo.
But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”
26 A ike iho la o Iuda, i aku la, Ua oi aku kona pono i ko'u; no ka mea, aole au i haawi aku ia ia na kuu keiki na Sela. Aole hoi o Iuda i ike hou ia ia.
But he, acknowledging the gifts, said: “She is more just than I am. For I did not deliver her to my son Shelah.” However, he knew her no more.
27 A i ka manawa o kona haakohi ana, aia hoi, he mau mahoe maloko o kona opu.
Then, at the moment of birth, there appeared twins in the womb. And so, in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, on which the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying,
28 A i ka hanau ana, puka mai la ka lima o kekahi; lalau aku la ka palekeiki i ua lima la a nakii iho la i ke kaula ulaula ilaila, i mai la, Eia ka hanau mua.
“This one will go out first.”
29 A i ka huki hou ana o kona lima iloko, aia hoi, puka e mai la kona hoahanau: i aku la ke palekeiki, Heaha kau i poha wale mai? Maluna iho ou keia nahae: nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o Pareza.
But in truth, drawing back his hand, the other came out. And the woman said, “Why is the partition divided for you?” And for this reason, she called his name Perez.
30 Mahope iho puka mai la ke kaikaina, ia ia ke kaula ulaula ma kona lima: a ua kapaia kona inoa o Zara.
After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.
