Jenesis 38

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

At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.

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

And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.

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

And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.

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

And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called 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.

She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.

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

And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.

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

And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.

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.

Juda, therefore said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy 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.

He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.

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

And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.

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.

Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt 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.

And after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.

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

And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas 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.

And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.

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 Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.

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?

And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?

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?

He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,

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.

Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.

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

And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.

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.

And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding 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.

Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place,

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.

He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.

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.

Juda said: Let her take it to herself; surely she cannot charge us with a, lie: I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst 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!

And behold after three months they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may be burnt.

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?

But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.

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.

But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However, he knew her no more.

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

And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying:

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.

This shall come forth the first.

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 he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares.

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

Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
