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.
Ngalesosikhathi uJuda watshiya abafowabo wahamba wayahlala lendoda yase-Adulami eyayithiwa nguHira.
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.
Khonale uJuda wabonana lendodakazi yendoda engumKhenani eyayithiwa nguShuwa. Wayithatha wembatha layo;
3 Hapai iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Era.
yathatha isisu yazala indodana yathiwa ngu-Eri.
4 Hapai hou iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o Onana.
Wazithwala njalo wazala indodana wayithi ngu-Onani.
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.
Wazala njalo enye indodana wayithi nguShela. Le wayizalela eKhezibhi.
6 Lawe ae la o Iuda i wahine na Era, na kana hiapo, o Tamara kona inoa.
UJuda wazuzela u-Eri izibulo lakhe umfazi, ibizo lakhe linguThamari.
7 A ua hewa o Era, o ka hiapo a Iuda imua o Iehova; a pepehi iho la o Iehova ia ia.
Kodwa u-Eri izibulo likaJuda, wayengcolile emehlweni kaThixo; uThixo wasembulala.
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.
UJuda wasesithi ku-Onani, “Lala lomkamfowenu ugcwalise umlandu wakho njengomfowabo uzalele umfowenu abantwana.”
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.
Kodwa u-Onani wakwazi ukuthi inzalo leyo yayingezukuba ngeyakhe; ngakho kwakusithi sonke isikhathi angalala lomkamfowabo achithele inhlanyelo phansi emhlabathini ukuze angaze azalela umfowabo abantwana.
10 A o ka mea ana i hana'i, ua hewa ia imua o Iehova: a nana hoi ia i pepehi.
Lokho ayekwenza kwakukubi emehlweni kaThixo; ngakho uThixo wambulala.
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.
UJuda wasesithi kumalukazana wakhe uThamari, “Hamba uyehlala njengomfelokazi emzini kayihlo indodana yami uShela ize ikhule.” Ngoba wanakana wathi, “Laye angafa njengabanewabo.” Ngakho uThamari wahamba wayahlala emzini kayise.
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.
Ngemva kwesikhathi eside umkaJuda, indodakazi kaShuwa wafa. Kwathi uJuda eseduduzekile waya eThimina, emadodeni ayegunda izimvu zakhe, ehamba lomngane wakhe uHira umʼAdulami.
13 Hai aku la kekahi ia Tamara, Ea, e pii ana kou makuahunowaikane i Timenata e ako i kana hipa.
Kwathi uThamari esetsheliwe kwathiwa, “Uyihlozala uyeza eThimina ukuzagunda izimvu zakhe,”
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.
wakhulula izigqoko zakhe zokuzila wazimboza ngesimbombozo ukuzifihla, wasehlala phansi eduzane lesango lase-Enayimi, elisendleleni yaseThimina. Ngoba wabona ukuthi loba uShela wayesekhulile, yena wayelokhu engakamphiwa ukuthi abe ngumkakhe.
15 A ike aku la o Iuda ia ia, manao iho la ia he wahine hookamakama kela; no ka mea, ua paleia kona maka.
UJuda wathi embona wacabanga ukuthi yisifebe, ngoba wayezivale ubuso.
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?
Kwathi ngoba engamboni ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe waya kuye eceleni komgwaqo wathi, “Woza manje, ngifuna ukulala lawe.” Yena wabuza wathi, “Uzangiphani ngingalala lawe?”
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?
Wathi, “Ngizakuthumezela izinyane lembuzi emhlambini wami.” UThamari wabuza wathi, “Uzangipha na ulutho lube yisibambiso ungakalithumezi?”
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.
Wathi, “Ngikuphe sibambiso bani?” Waphendula wathi, “Isilengiso sophawu lwakho lentambo yaso, kanye lodondolo lwakho oluphetheyo.” Ngakho wamupha lezozinto waselala laye, wahle wazithwala.
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.
Esesuka lapho uThamari wakhupha isimbombozo sakhe wagqoka izigqoko zakhe zokuzila njalo.
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.
Kusenjalo uJuda wathumezela izinyane lembuzi ngomngane wakhe umʼAdulami ukuze abuyiselwe isibambiso sakhe esasikowesifazane lowo, kodwa wamswela.
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.
Wabuza amadoda ayehlala lapho wathi, “Singaphi isifebe ebesilapha eceleni komgwaqo e-Enayimi na?” Athi, “Kakuzange kube lesifebe lapha.”
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.
Ngakho wasebuyela kuJuda wayakuthi, “Kangimfumananga. Futhi amadoda lawo ahlala khona athi kakuzange kube lesifebe esasihlala lapho.”
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.
UJuda wasesithi, “Myekele ahle akugcine khonokho alakho funa sicine sesiyinhlekisa. Phezu kwalokho mina bengimthumezele izinyane lembuzi, kodwa kawusamfumananga.”
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.
Ngemva kwezinyanga ezintathu uJuda watshelwa ukuthi umalukazana wakhe uThamari wayesefebile wasethatha isisu. UJuda wathi, “Mkhupheni, atshiswe aze afe.”
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.
Kwathi lapho ekhutshwa wathumela ilizwi kuyisezala wathi, “Ngoniwa yindoda engumnikazi walezizinto.” Wengeza ngokuthi, “Akubone ukuthi singaba ngesikabani isilengiso sophawu lesi lentambo kanye lodondolo lolu.”
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.
UJuda wazazi izinto lezo wathi, “Ulungile kulami, ngoba kangisamphanga endodaneni yami uShela.” Kasaphindanga wembatha laye njalo.
27 A i ka manawa o kona haakohi ana, aia hoi, he mau mahoe maloko o kona opu.
Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, wayelamaphahla angabafana esiswini.
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.
Wathi khonapho ebeletha omunye wawo wakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wathatha intambo ebomvu wayibophela esihlakaleni sesandla salo wathi, “Leli yilo eliphume kuqala.”
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.
Kodwa labuyisela isandla, umfowabo waphuma kuqala, wasesithi, “Le yiyo indlela ofohle ngayo!” Laseliphiwa ibizo elithi nguPherezi.
30 Mahope iho puka mai la ke kaikaina, ia ia ke kaula ulaula ma kona lima: a ua kapaia kona inoa o Zara.
Ngakho umfowabo, owayelentambo esihlakaleni, waphuma wethiwa ibizo wathiwa nguZera.
