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.
Around this time, Judah left his brothers and set up his tents at Adullam, near to a local 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.
There Judah happened to see the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua and married her. He slept with her,
3 Hapai iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Era.
and she became pregnant and had a son he named Er.
4 Hapai hou iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Onana.
She became pregnant again and had a son she named 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.
Then she had another son she named Shelah who was born in Kezib.
6 Lawe ae la o Iuda i wahine na Era, na kana hiapo, o Tamara kona inoa.
Much later, Judah arranged for Er, his firstborn son, to marry a woman named Tamar.
7 A ua hewa o Era, o ka hiapo a Iuda imua o Iehova; a pepehi iho la o Iehova ia ia.
But Er did what was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord put him to death.
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.
Judah told Onan, “Go and sleep with your brother's wife to fulfill the requirements of a brother-in-law to have children on behalf of 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.
Onan realized that any children he had wouldn't be his own, so whenever he slept with his brother's wife he made sure she wouldn't become pregnant by withdrawing and spilling his semen on the ground. In this way he prevented any children being born on behalf of his brother.
10 A o ka mea ana i hana'i, ua hewa ia imua o Iehova: a nana hoi ia i pepehi.
But what he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he also put Onan to death.
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.
Then Judah told his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Go to your father's house and live there as a widow until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “Maybe he'll die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went and stayed 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.
A long time later Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah had finished the time of mourning, he went to visit his sheepshearers at Timnah with his friend Hirah from Adullam.
13 Hai aku la kekahi ia Tamara, Ea, e pii ana kou makuahunowaikane i Timenata e ako i kana hipa.
Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going to Timnah to shear his 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.
So she took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, disguising herself. She sat down beside the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. She had realized that even though Shelah had now grown up, nothing had been done about her marrying him.
15 A ike aku la o Iuda ia ia, manao iho la ia he wahine hookamakama kela; no ka mea, ua paleia kona maka.
Judah saw her and thought she must be a prostitute because she had veiled her face.
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?
He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “I want to sleep with you.” He didn't know she was his daughter-in-law. “What will you give me if I let you sleep with me?” she asked.
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?
“I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied. “What guarantee will you give me to make sure you'll send it?” she asked.
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.
“What guarantee do I have to give you?” he asked. “Your signet seal and its cord, and your walking stick that you're holding,” she replied. He handed them over to her. He slept with her and she became pregnant.
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.
She left, went home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothes.
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.
Judah sent his friend Hirah from Adullam with a young goat to get back his belongings he'd left as a guarantee from the woman, but he couldn't find 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.
Hirah asked the men there, “Where's the cult prostitute that sits by the entrance road to Enaim?” “There's no cult prostitute here,” they answered.
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.
Hirah went back to Judah and told him, “I couldn't find her, and the men there said, ‘There's no cult prostitute here.’”
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.
“Let her keep what I gave her,” Judah replied. “We'll look ridiculous to people if we go on searching. In any case I did try to send her the young goat as promised but you couldn't 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.
Then about three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has had sex like a prostitute and now as a result she's pregnant!” “Bring her out and burn her to death!” Judah ordered.
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.
As she was brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “I'm pregnant by the man who owns these things.” Then she added, “Please look carefully at this signet seal and its cord and walking stick. Who do they belong to?”
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.
Judah recognized them right away and said, “She has honored the law more than I have, because I didn't give her in marriage to my son Shelah.” He didn't sleep with Tamar again.
27 A i ka manawa o kona haakohi ana, aia hoi, he mau mahoe maloko o kona opu.
When the time came for Tamar to give birth, she was found to be carrying twins.
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.
One baby put out his hand, and the midwife tied a scarlet thread around on his wrist and said, “This one came 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 then he pulled back his hand and his brother was born, she said, “How did you burst out?” So he was named Perez.
30 Mahope iho puka mai la ke kaikaina, ia ia ke kaula ulaula ma kona lima: a ua kapaia kona inoa o Zara.
Then his brother with the scarlet thread on his wrist was born. He was named Zerah.
