Jenesis 38

1 Mago zupa Juda'a afuhe'ina nezamatreno Adulami kumate ne' Hira'e nehaza ne'ene umani'ne.

About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.

2 Juda'a anantega Kenani ne' Sua'e nehaza ne'mofo mofa keteno, a' erino anteno mase'ne.

There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.

3 Ana higeno amu'ene huno ne' kasentegeno, agra Eri'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.

So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.

4 Anante mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno, Onani'e huno agi'a ante'ne.

Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

5 Ana a'mo'a mago'ene ne' kasenteno Sela'e huno agi'a ante'ne. Juda'a Kezipi mani'negeno nenaro'a ne'mofavrea kase ante'ne.

Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.

6 Hanki Juda'a agonesa ne'mofavre'a Erina mago a' avre ami'ne. Ana a'mofo agi'a Tema'e.

Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7 Ana hianagi Judana agonesa mofavre'a Eri'a Ra Anumza'mofo avufi havi avu'avaza higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a ahe fri'ne.

But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

8 Juda'a amanage huno Onanina asami'ne, Nempuka'amofo kento ate vunka, nefu a' eneriankna avu'ava hunka, negafu a' erigeno, negafu mofavre kasenteno.

Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”

9 Hianagi Onani'a antahi'ne, kento a'mo kasentesia mofavrea agri mofavre omanigahiankino, nempu'amofo a' ene nemaseno'a avufga rina, nefu mofavre antemi'zanku mopafi atre'ne.

But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

10 E'inama agra hiazanku Ra Anumzamo'a musena osuno, ahe fri'ne.

What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.

11 Anante Juda'a nenofero Temana anage huno asmi'ne, Negafa nontega vunka kento a' umani'negeno, ne'niamo Sela'a ra hute'na'e. Higeno Tema'a vuno nefa nompi umani'ne.

Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.

12 Mago'a zagegafu evutegeno Sua mofa, Juda nenaro'a frigeno, zamasunku hu'za zavi atazageno ana kna vagaretegeno, Juda'a sipisipi azoka neharerega Timna kumate agrane, arone'a Adulamu kumateti ne' Hira'ene vu'na'e.

After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.

13 Mago'a vahe'mo'za Temana ome asami'za, Konkeno negnofero'a sipisipi'a azoka hareku Timna kumate evu'ne.

When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”

14 Hazageno ana a'mo kento kukena hate netreno amne kukena huno, avugosa refineteno, Enaim kuma'mofo kasante Timna vu kante emani'neno, amanage huno agesa antahine, Sela'a hago ra hu'neanagi, a' ka'e huno navre omi'ne.

she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.

15 Hagi Juda'ma ana a'ma eme negeno'a, monko a' mani'ne huno agesa antahi'ne. Na'ankure ana a'mo'a avugosa refiteno mani'negeno keso'e osu'ne.

When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

16 Agra kana atreno ana a'mofonte vugantuteno amanage hu'ne, Menina knare kagranena umasegahuo? Agra mofavre'amofo are huno ontahi'ne. Tema'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Na'a namitenka nagra'nena umasegahane?

Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.

17 Higeno agra kenona'a huno, Afuzaga ni'afinti mago ve meme avrentegantegahue huno asmi'ne. Ana a'mo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Knare mago kamente'zana avame'za naminanke'na azeri nenugenka, henka'a avrente nantegahampi?

“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”

18 Higeno ana ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Avame'zana nagra na'a kamigahue? Higeno ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, rinine, knankempi kvasese nofi'ene, kazampima eri'nana azompa ka'ane namigahane. Higeno ana miko'za nemino ome anteno masegeno agriteti amu'ene hu'ne.

“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

19 Anante otino vuno avugosafi refite'neaza eri netreno, kento kukena omeri hankre'ne.

Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.

20 Juda'a rone'a Adulami ne'te, kasefa ve meme avre amigeno ana a'ma ami'neaza azampinti erinogu ome hakeana ana ara onke'ne.

Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.

21 Agra ana a'mofo kumate vahe zamantahigeno, Havi anumzamofo mono nompima monko a'ma Enaimima vu kantegama nemania ara ina'ne? Hige'za zamagra amanage hu'naze, Havi anumzamofo mono nompina, monko ara amafina omani'ne.

He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.

22 Ana ne'mo'a ete Judante vuno, amanage ome hu'ne, ana ara hake'na erifore osuge'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za amafina monko ara omani'ne hu'naze.

So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”

23 Anante Juda'a amanage hu'ne, Aru vahe'mo'za tagiza resagi atregeno ana a'mo erino. Hago ama'i ve meme avre kamugenka, ana ara ome hakenka eri fore osane.

“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”

24 Henka 3'a ikana evutegeno, Judana amanage hu'za asami'naze, neganofero Tema'a savri huno vano nehuno mofavre amu'ene hu'ne. Hazageno Juda'a anage hu'ne, Avre fegi atreta ana ara tevefi kre kasegeho!

About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”

25 Ana ara avazu hu'za fegi'a atirmizageno, ana a'mo'a huno, Nagrama namu'ene hu'noana ama zamofo nefanteti mofavrea eriri'noe. Nehuno ana zana zamige'za eri'za nenoferonte vu'za anage hu'za ome asami'naze, muse (plis) hugantoanki ko, ama rinine, anankempi avasese'zane, azompa aza suzane?

As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”

26 Higeno Juda'a ana zantmima keno antahino'ma nehuno'a amanage hu'ne, Tema'a nagrira nagatereno knare avu'avaza hu'ne. Haviza hu'na nagra nenamofo Selana avre omugeno anteno omase'ne. Nehuno Juda'a ete mago'ene ana a'enena uomase'ne.

Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.

27 Ana a'mo mofavre anteku nehigeno, keana kugave'za rimpafina mani'na'e.

When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

28 Anante mofavre kasenentegeno mago'mo azana ante kamategeno, aza huno mofavre kasemi a'mo'a koranke osi nofi azante kinenteno, amanage hu'ne, Ama mofavremo koteno e'ne.

And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.

29 Hianagi eteno azana anamagi agu'ategeno, ete mago'mo atiramine. Ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Inankna hunka kagra anafe hunka agaterenka ane, nehuno agi'a Peresi'e huno antemi'ne.

But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.

30 Hanki amefiga'a nefu osi koranke nofi'ma azante kinte'nemo atiramigeno, agi'a Zela'e huno antemi'ne.

Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
