創世記 38
1 當時ユダ兄弟をはなれて下りアドラム人名はヒラといふ者の近邊に天幕をはりしが
And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 ユダかしこにてカナン人名はシュアといふ者の女子を見これを娶りてその所にいる
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 彼はらみて男子を生みければユダその名をエルとなづく
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 彼ふたたび孕みて男子を生みその名をオナンとなづけ
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 またかさねて孕みて男子を生みてその名をシラとなづく此子をうみける時ユダはクジブにありき
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 ユダその長子エルのために妻をむかふその名をタマルといふ
And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
7 ユダの長子エル、ヱホバの前に惡をなしたればヱホバこれを死しめたまふ
And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 茲にユダ、オナンにいひけるは汝の兄の妻の所にいりて之をめとり汝の兄をして子をえせしめよ
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 オナンその子の己のものとならざるを知たれば兄の妻の所にいりし時兄に子をえせしめざらんために地に洩したり
And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
10 斯なせし事ヱホバの目に惡かりければヱホバ彼をも死しめたまふ
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
11 ユダその媳タマルにいひけるは嫠婦となりて汝の父の家にをりわが子シラの人となるを待てと恐らくはシラも亦その兄弟のごとく死るならんとおもひたればなりタマルすなはち往てその父の家にをる
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
12 日かさなりて後シュアの女ユダの妻死たりユダ慰をいれてその友アドラム人ヒラとともにテムナにのぼりその羊毛を剪る者の所にいたる
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
13 茲にタマルにつげて視よなんぢの舅はその羊の毛を剪んとてテムナにのぼるといふ者ありしかば
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 彼その嫠の服を脱すて被衣をもて身をおほひつつみテムナの途の側にあるエナイムの入口に坐す其はシラ人となりたれども己これが妻にせられざるを見たればなり
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
15 彼その面を蔽ひゐたりしかばユダこれを見て娼妓ならんとおもひ
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 途の側にて彼に就き請ふ來りて我をして汝の所にいらしめよといふ其はその子の妻なるをしらざればなり彼いひけるは汝何を我にあたへてわが所にいらんとするや
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
17 ユダいひけるは我群より山羊の羔をおくらん彼いふ汝其をおくるまで質をあたへんか
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
18 ユダ何の質をなんぢに與ふべきやといふに彼汝の印と綬と汝の手の杖をといひければ即ちこれを與へて彼の所にいりぬ彼ユダに由て姙めり
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 彼起て去りその被衣をぬぎすて嫠婦の服をまとふ
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 かくてユダ婦の手より質をとらんとてその友アドラム人の手に托して山羊の羔をおくりけるが彼婦を見ざれば
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
21 その處の人に問て途の側なるエナイムの娼妓は何處にをるやといふに此には娼妓なしといひければ
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 ユダの許にかへりていふ我彼を見いださず亦その處の人此には娼妓なしといへりと
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
23 ユダいひけるは彼にとらせおけ恐くはわれら笑抦とならん我この山羊の羔をおくりたるに汝かれを見ざるなりと
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
24 三月ばかりありて後ユダに告る者ありていふ汝の媳タマル姦淫をなせり亦その姦淫によりて妊めりユダいひけるは彼を曵いだして焚べし
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
25 彼ひきいだされし時その舅にいひつかはしけるは是をもてる人によりて我は妊りと彼すなはち請ふこの印と綬と杖は誰の所屬なるかを辨別よといふ
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
26 ユダこれを見識ていひけるは彼は我よりも正しわれ彼をわが子わがシラにあたへざりしによりてなりと再びこれを知らざりき
And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
27 かくて產の時にいたりて見るにその胎に孿あり
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 その產時手出しかば產婆是首にいづといひて絳き線をとりてその手にしばりしが
And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
29 手を引こむるにあたりて兄弟いでたれば汝なんぞ圻いづるやその圻汝に歸せんといへり故にその名はペレヅ(圻)と稱る
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
30 その兄弟手に絳線のある者後にいづその名はゼラとよばる
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
