Genesis 38
1 Ke pacl sac pacna Judah el som liki mwet wial, ac muta yurin mwet se pangpang Hirah, su ma in siti srisrik Adullam.
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 Ke el muta we el sun tulik mutan Canaan se, su ma natul Shua. Na el payukyak sel,
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 ac mutan sac osweang wen se nu sel, ac Judah el sang inen tulik sac Er.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 Mutan sac sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se, ac sang inel Onan.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Na el sifilpa oswela wen se, ac sang inel Shelah. Judah el muta Achzib ke mutan sac oswella Shelah.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 Judah el konauk mutan se pangpang Tamar kial Er, wen se omeet natul.
And Judas took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Elah lal Er arulana koluk ac aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ke ma inge LEUM GOD El unilya.
And Er, the firstborn of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 Na Judah el fahk nu sel Onan, tamulel lal Er, “Fahla ona yurin katinmas kien tamulel lom, ac akfalye ma kunom nu sel, tuh in oasr fita nutin ma lim.”
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your brother.
9 Tusruktu Onan el etu lah tulik el ac orala uh ac tia oaoa mu ma natul, ouinge pacl nukewa el ac ona yurin katinmas sac, el ac okoalla nu saya, tuh in wangin tulik nutin tamulel lal.
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 Ma el oru inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El unilya pac.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he killed him also.
11 Na Judah el fahk nu sel Tamar, acn talupal, “Folokla ac muta yurin papa tomom, ac mutangan katinmas na nwe ke na Shelah, wen nutik, el matula.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el sensen ac anwuki pac Shelah oana tamulel luo lal ah. Ke ma inge Tamar el folokla nu yen sel ah.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit you a widow in the house of your 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 Tok kutu, na mutan kial Judah ah misa. Ke safla eoksra lal, el ac Hirah, kawuk lal in acn Adullam, som nu Timnah, yen ma kalkul sheep natul uh we.
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 Mwet se fahkang nu sel Tamar lah papa tumun mukul tumal ah el som nu Timnah in kal sheep natul we.
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 Ouinge Tamar el ayaolla liki nuknuk in katinmas lal ma el muta nukum, afinya mutal ke mwe lisrlisr, ac pituki muta ke acn in utyak nu Enaim, sie siti srisrik sisken inkanek nu Timnah. In etu lal uh, Shelah, wen se ma fusr oemeet natul Judah, el matula tari in pacl se inge, a tiana itukyang Tamar elan payukyak sel.
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 Ke Judah el liyalak, el nunku mu sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal pa el, mweyen el afinya mutal.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 El fahla nwe yorol sisken inkanek ah, ac fahk, “Kwal, lupa su molum?” (Judah el tiana etu lah mutan sac ma talupal.) Tamar el fahk, “Mea kom ac se?”
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to you; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What will you give me if you should come in to me?
17 Ac Judah el topuk, “Nga ac supwama soko nani fusr ah liki un kosro nutik.” Na Tamar el fahk, “Kwal, se sie mwe akpwaye an in oan yuruk nwe ke na kom supwama nani an.”
And he said, I will send you a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if you will give me an earnest, until you send it.
18 Ac Judah el siyuk, “Mea nga ac sot in mwe akpwaye wulela luk?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Sil se lom ingan wi ah nu kac an, oayapa sikal soko lom ma kom us ingan.” Judah el sang ma inge kewa nu sel, na el ona yorol ac Tamar el pitutuyak sel.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give you? and she said, Your ring, and your bracelet, and the staff in your hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Tamar el folokla nu lohm sel, eisla mwe lisrlisr ke mutal, ac sifilpa nokomwang nuknuk in katinmas lal.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Judah el supwalla Hirah, kawuk lal, in usla nani uh ac folokonma mwe akpwaye ma el tuh sang nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu Hirah el tuh tia ku in konalak.
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 El siyuk sin kutu mukul Enaim, “Pia mutan kosro se ma tuh muta pe inkanek uh ah?” Ac elos topuk, “Wanginna mutan kosro yenu.”
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the wayside? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 Hirah el folokla nu yorol Judah ac fahk, “Nga tia ku in konalak. Mukul in acn sac fahk mu soenna oasr mutan kosro in acn sac.”
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 Judah el fahk, “Tari elan eis lal ma yorol an. Kut tia lungse mwet in isrun kut. Nga srike ngan moli nu sel, tuh pa kom tia konalak an.”
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but you have not found her.
24 Ac malem tolu ma tok, mwet se fahk nu sel Judah, “Tamar, acn talupom, el orekma oana mutan kosro se, ac inge el pitutu.” Ac Judah el sap, “Usalla, esukulak elan misa!”
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar your 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 Ke elos amakunulla Tamar, el sap elos in fahkang kas inge nu sin papa talupal: “Nga pitutuyak sin mwet se la ma inge. Srike liye lah lun su — sil se inge wi ah soko nu kac uh, ac sikal soko.”
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 Judah el akilenak ma inge ac fahk, “Pwaye sel, wangin mwatal. Nga tafongla ke ma kunuk nu sel. Pwayeiya uh, nga ac eisalang Shelah tumal.” Ac Judah el tiana sifilpa oan yorol.
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 Ke sun pacl in isus lal, koneyukyak lah el ac oswe fak se.
And it came to pass when she was in labor, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 Ke pacl se el oswe tulik inge, sie seltal isongla paol nu saya, na mutan akisus sac sruokya, ac kapriya turet srusra soko kac, ac fahk, “El uh pa isusla meet uh.”
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 Tusruktu tulik sac folokonak paol, ac ma se ngia tuh isusla meet lukel. Na mutan akisus sac fahk, “Ya pa nge luman illa lom uh? Kom sifacna fokolma inkanek lom.” Ouinge itukyang inen tulik sac Perez.
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 you? and she called his name, Phares.
30 Na tulik se wial ah isusla, ac turet srusra soko ah oanna ke paol, na itukyang inel Zerah.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
