Jenesis 38
1 Nʼoge ahụ, Juda hapụrụ ụmụnne ya gaa binyere otu nwoke onye Adulam a na-akpọ Hira.
And it fortuned at that tyme that Iudas went from his brethren and gatt him to a man called Hira of Odollam
2 Nʼebe ahụ, Juda hụrụ otu nwaagbọghọ, nwa otu nwoke onye Kenan, aha ya bụ Shua. Ọ lụrụ ya ma bakwuru ya.
and there he sawe the doughter of a man called Sua a Canaanyte. And he toke her ad went in vnto her.
3 Ọ tụụrụ ime mụọ nwa nwoke, onye Juda gụrụ aha Ịa
And she conceaued and bare a sonne and called his name Er.
4 Nwunye ya dịkwara ime ọzọ mụta nwa nwoke nke ya bụ nwunye ya gụrụ Onan.
And she conceaued agayne and bare a sonne and called him Onan.
5 Ọ mụkwara nwa nwoke ọzọ, onye ọ kpọrọ Shela. Ọ bụ na Kezib ka ọ mụrụ ya.
And she conceaued the thyrde tyme and bare a sonne whom she called Scla: and he was at Chesyb when she bare hem.
6 Juda lụtaara Ịa, ọkpara ya, nwunye onye aha ya bụ Tama.
And Iudas gaue Er his eldest sonne a wife whose name was Thamar.
7 Ma nʼihi na Ịa, ọkpara Juda, dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Onyenwe anyị gburu ya.
But this Er Iudas eldest sonne was wicked in the syghte of the LORde wherfore the LORde slewe him.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Juda sịrị Onan, “Bakwuru nwunye nwanne gị ka ịkuchie ya, ka i si otu a wulite mkpụrụ maka nwanne gị.”
Than sayde Iudas vnto Onan: goo in to thi brothers wyfe and Marie her and styrre vp seed vnto thy brother.
9 Onan ma na mkpụrụ a agaghị abụ nke ya. Nʼihi ya, mgbe ọbụla ọ bakwuru nwunye nwanne ya, ọ na-anyụsa mkpụrụ nwa ya nʼala, ime ka ọ ghara inye nwanne ya nwoke nwa.
And when Onan perceaued that the seed shulde not be his: therfore when he went in to his brothers wife he spylled it on the grounde because he wold not geue seed vnto his brother.
10 Ma ihe a o mere jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi ya Onyenwe anyị gbukwara ya.
And the thinge which he dyd displeased the LORde wherfore he slew him also.
11 Juda sịrị nwunye nwa ya, bụ Tama, “Laa nʼụlọ nna gị nọrọ dịka nwanyị di ya nwụrụ tutu Shela nwa m nwoke etoo.” Ma echiche ya bụ, “ka ọ ghara ịnwụ dịka ụmụnne ya.” Tama lara gaa biri nʼụlọ nna ya.
Than sayde Iudas to Thamar his doughter in lawe: remayne a wydow at thi fathers house tyll Sela my sonne be growne: for he feared lest he shulde haue dyed also as his brethren did. Thus went Thamar and dwelt in hir fathers house.
12 Mgbe ọtụtụ oge gasịrị, nwunye Juda nwa Shua nwụrụ. Mgbe oge nkasiobi ya gasịrị, Juda jere Timna, ya na enyi ya Hira, onye Adulam, ilekọta ndị na-akpụchapụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ya ajị.
And in processe of tyme the doughter of Sua Iudas wife dyed. Than Iudas when he had left mornynge went vnto his shepe sherers to Thimnath with his frende Hira of Odollam.
13 A gwara Tama sị ya, “Nna di gị na-aga Timna ịkpacha atụrụ ya ajị.”
And one told Thamar saynge: beholde thy father in lawe goth vp to Thimnath to shere his shepe.
14 O yipụrụ uwe mkpe ya, were akwa mkpuchi kpuchie onwe ya gaa nọdụ ala nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Enayim, nke dị nʼụzọ e si aga Timna. O mere otu a nʼihi na ọ matara na Shela etoola, ma enyeghị ya ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
And she put hyr wydows garmetes of from her and couered her with a clooke and disgyssed herself: And sat her downe at the entrynge of Enaim which is by the hye wayes syde to Thimnath for because she sawe that Sela was growne and she was not geue vnto him to wife.
15 Mgbe Juda hụrụ ya, o chere na ọ bụ otu nwanyị akwụna, ebe ọ bụ na o kpuchiri ihu ya.
When Iuda sawe her he thought it had bene an hoore because she had couered hyr face.
16 Ma ebe ọ mataghị na ọ bụ nwunye nwa ya, o jekwuru ya ebe ọ nọdụrụ ala nʼakụkụ ụzọ sị ya, “Bịa, kwere ka mụ na gị dinaa.” Tama jụrụ, “Gịnị ka ị ga-enye m ma ọ bụrụ na m kwere ka mụ na gị dinaa?”
And turned to her vnto the waye and sayde come I praye the let me lye with the for he knewe not that it was his doughter in lawe. And she sayde what wylt thou gyue me for to lye with me?
17 Ọ zara, “Aga m ezitere gị otu nwa ewu site nʼigwe ewu na atụrụ m.” Ọ jụrụ, “Ị ga-enye m ihe akaebe ruo mgbe ị ga-ezite ya?”
Tha sayde he I will sende the a kydd fro the flocke. She answered Than geue me a pledge till thou sende it.
18 Ọ sịrị, “Kedụ ihe akaebe m ga-enye gị?” Ọ zara, “Mgbaaka akara gị na eriri ya, na mkpanaka dị gị nʼaka.” O nyere ya ihe ndị a. Ọ bakwuru ya nke mere na ọ tụụrụ ime.
Than sayde he what pledge shall I geue the? And she sayde: they sygnett thy necke lace and thy staffe that is in thy hande. And he gaue it her and lay by her and she was with child by him.
19 Mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, o yipụrụ akwa ahụ o ji kpuchie ihu ya, yirikwa uwe mkpe ya.
And she gatt her vp and went and put her mantell from her ad put on hir widowes rayment agayne.
20 Mgbe Juda zigara enyi ya onye Adulam ka ọ gaa wegara ya nwa ewu ahụ, ma nataghachi ihe ibe ahụ, ọ hụghị ya.
And Iudas sent the kydd by his neybure of Odollam for to fetch out his pledge agayne from the wifes hande. But he fownde her not.
21 Ọ jụrụ ndị ikom bi nʼebe ahụ sị, “Olee nwanyị akwụna ụlọ arụsị ahụ na-anọdụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Enayim?” Ha sịrị, “O nweghị nwanyị akwụna ụlọ arụsị nọrọla nʼebe a.”
Than asked he the men of the same place saynge: where is the whoore that satt at Enaim in the waye? And they sayde: there was no whoore here.
22 Ya mere, ọ laghachiri gaa gwa Juda, “Ahụghị m ya. Ọzọkwa, ndị ikom ndị bi nʼebe ahụ sịrị, ‘O nweghị nwanyị akwụna ụlọ arụsị nọrọla nʼebe a.’”
And he came to Iuda agayne saynge: I can not fynde her and also the men of the place sayde: that there was no whoore there.
23 Juda zara, “Ka o jide ihe niile o ji, ma ọ bụghị otu a anyị ga-aghọ ihe ọchị. Lee, ezigarala m ya nwa ewu a, ma gị onwe gị achọtaghị ya.”
And Iuda sayde: let her take it to her lest we be shamed: for I sente the kydd and thou coudest not fynde her.
24 Mgbe ọnwa atọ gasịrị, ozi ruru Juda ntị sị, “Tama nwunye nwa gị gbara akwụna, bịa site nʼịgba akwụna dịrị ime.” Juda sịrị, “Kpọpụtanụ ya ka akpọọ ya ọkụ.”
And it came to passe that after. iij. monethes one tolde Iuda saynge: Thamar thy doughter in lawe hath played the whoore and with playnge the whoore is become great with childe. And Iuda sayde: brynge her forth ad let her be brente.
25 Ma mgbe ha kpọ ya na-apụta, o zigara nna di ya ozi, sị, “Ọ bụ nwoke nwee ihe ndị a tụwara m ime. Ọ sịkwara, Leruo anya ma ị ga-amata onye nwe ihe ndị a: mgbaaka akara a na eriri ya, na mkpanaka a.”
And when they brought her forth she sent to her father in lawe saynge: by the ma vnto whome these thinges pertayne am I with childe. And sayd also: loke whose are this seall necklace and staffe.
26 Juda ghọtara ha, sị, “Ọ bụ onye ezi omume karịa m, ebe ọ bụ na m jụrụ ịkpọrọ ya kpọnye nwa m nwoke Shela ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.” O dinakwaghị ya ọzọ.
And Iuda knewe them saynge: she is more rightwes tha I because I gaue her not to Sela my sone. But he laye with her nomore.
27 Mgbe oge ọmụmụ nwa ya ruru, ejima ka ahụrụ nʼakpanwa ya.
When tyme was come that she shulde be delyuered beholde there was. ij. twynnes in hyr wobe.
28 Mgbe ọ na-amụ ha, otu nʼime ha sepụtara aka ya. Nwanyị na-aghọ nwa weere eriri na-acha uhie uhie kee ya na nkwoji aka kwuo sị, “Ọ bụ nke a bụ ụzọ pụta.”
And as she traveled the one put out his hande and the mydwife toke and bownde a reed threde aboute it saynge: this wyll come out fyrst.
29 Ma nwa ahụ mesịrị sekpuo aka ya, nwanne ya nke ọzọ eburu ya ụzọ pụta. Nwanyị ahụ sịrị, “Ọ bụ otu a ka ị si tikapụta?” A kpọrọ ya Perez.
But he plucked his hande backe agayne and his brother came out. And she sayde: wherfore hast thou rent a rent vppon the? and called him Pharez.
30 Emesịa, nwanne ya, nke bu eriri uhie uhie ahụ na nkwoji aka pụtakwara. A kpọrọ ya Zera.
And afterward came out his brother that had the reade threde about his hade which was called Zarah.
