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 Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
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 Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; 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 he 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 again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
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 again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
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 Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
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, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew 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
Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, 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
But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
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 the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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 Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
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 as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
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 Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah 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 she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as 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 Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
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 turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest 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 the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, 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 pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] 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 went away; and she laid by her veil from 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 Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but 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 her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute 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 Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been 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
Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and 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 about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
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
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this 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 Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
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 at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were 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 when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came 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 it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
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 afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
