창세기 38
1 그 후에 유다가 자기 형제에게서 내려가서 아둘람 사람 히라에게로 나아가니라
It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 유다가 거기서 가나안 사람 수아라 하는 자의 딸을 보고 그를 취하여 동침하니
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
3 그가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매 유다가 그 이름을 엘이라 하니라
She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
4 그가 다시 잉태하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 오난이라 하고
She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 그가 또 다시 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 셀라라 하니라 그가 셀라를 낳을 때에 유다는 거십에 있었더라
Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
6 유다가 장자 엘을 위하여 아내를 취하니 그 이름은 다말이더라
And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 유다의 장자 엘이 여호와 목전에 악하므로 여호와께서 그를 죽이신지라
Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so God killed him.
8 유다가 오난에게 이르되 네 형수에게로 들어가서 남편의 아우의 본분을 행하여 네 형을 위하여 씨가 있게 하라
Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother."
9 오난이 그 씨가 자기 것이 되지 않을 줄 알므로 형수에게 들어갔을 때에 형에게 아들을 얻게 아니하려고 땅에 설정하매
But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 그 일이 여호와 목전에 악하므로 여호와께서 그도 죽이시니
And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
11 유다가 그 며느리 다말에게 이르되 수절하고 네 아비 집에 있어서 내 아들 셀라가 장성하기를 기다리라 하니 셀라도 그 형들 같이 죽을까 염려함이라 다말이 가서 그 아비 집에 있으니라
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
12 얼마 후에 유다의 아내 수아의 딸이 죽은지라 유다가 위로를 받은 후에 그 친구 아둘람 사람 히라와 함께 딤나로 올라가서 자기 양털 깍는 자에게 이르렀더니
After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 혹이 다말에게 고하되 네 시부가 자기 양털을 깎으려고 딤나에 올라왔다 한지라
And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
14 그가 그 과부의 의복을 벗고 면박으로 얼굴을 가리고 몸을 휩싸고 딤나 길 곁 에나임 문에 앉으니 이는 셀라가 장성함을 보았어도 자기를 그의 아내로 주지 않음을 인함이라
She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 그가 얼굴을 가리웠으므로 유다가 그를 보고 창녀로 여겨
When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
16 길 곁으로 그에게 나아가 가로되 청컨대 나로 네게 들어가게 하라 하니 그 자부인줄 알지 못하였음이라 그가 가로되 당신이 무엇을 주고 내게 들어 오려느냐
He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"
17 유다가 가로되 내가 내 떼에서 염소 새끼를 주리라 그가 가로되 당신이 그것을 줄 때까지 약조물을 주겠느냐
He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee until you send it?"
18 유다가 가로되 무슨 약조물을 네게 주랴 그가 가로되 당신의 도장과 그 끈과 당신의 손에 있는 지팡이로 하라 유다가 그것들을 그에게 주고 그에게로 들어갔더니 그가 유다로 말미암아 잉태하였더라
He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 그가 일어나 떠나가서 그 면박을 벗고 과부의 의복을 도로 입으니라
And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
20 유다가 그 친구 아둘람 사람의 손에 부탁하여 염소 새끼를 보내고 그 여인의 손에서 약조물을 찾으려 하였으나 그가 그 여인을 찾지 못한지라
Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.
21 그가 그곳 사람에게 물어 가로되 길 곁 에나임에 있던 창녀가 어디 있느냐 그들이 가로되 여기는 창녀가 없느니라
Then he asked the men of the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here."
22 그가 유다에게로 돌아와 가로되 내가 그를 찾지 못하고 그곳 사람도 이르기를 여기는 창녀가 없다 하더라
He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"
23 유다가 가로되 그로 그것을 가지게 두라 우리가 부끄러움을 당할까 하노라 내가 이 염소 새끼를 보내었으나 그대가 그를 찾지 못하였느니라
Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."
24 석 달쯤 후에 혹이 유다에게 고하여 가로되 네 며느리 다말이 행음하였고 그 행음함을 인하여 잉태하였느니라 유다가 가로되 그를 끌어 내어 불사르라
Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."
25 여인이 끌려 나갈 때에 보내어 시부에게 이르되 이 물건 임자로 말미암아 잉태하였나이다 청컨대 보소서 이 도장과 그 끈과 지팡이가 뉘 것이니이까 한지라
When she was brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, and the staff."
26 유다가 그것들을 알아보고 가로되 그는 나보다 옳도다 내가 그를 내 아들 셀라에게 주지 아니하였음이로다 하고 다시는 그를 가까이 하지 아니하였더라
Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.
27 임산하여 보니 쌍태라
It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
28 해산할 때에 손이 나오는지라 산파가 가로되 이는 먼저 나온 자라 하고 홍사를 가져 그 손에 매었더니
As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."
29 그 손을 도로 들이며 그 형제가 나오는지라 산파가 가로되 네가 어찌하여 터치고 나오느냐 한고로 그 이름을 베레스라 불렀고
It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.
30 그 형제 곧 손에 홍사 있는 자가 뒤에 나오니 그 이름을 세라라 불렀더라
Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
