Genesis 38

1 Eodem tempore descendens Iudas a fratribus suis, divertit ad Virum Odollamitem, nomine Hiram.

And it was at the time that and he went down Judah from with brothers his and he turned aside to a man an Adullamite and name his [was] Hirah.

2 Viditque ibi filiam hominis Chananaei, vocabulo Sue: et accepta uxore, ingressus est ad eam.

And he saw there Judah a daughter of a man a Canaanite and name his [was] Shua and he took her and he went into her.

3 Quae concepit, et peperit filium, et vocavit nomen eius Her.

And she conceived and she bore a son and he called name his Er.

4 Rursumque concepto foetu, natum filium vocavit Onan.

And she conceived again and she bore a son and she called name his Onan.

5 Tertium quoque peperit: quem appellavit Sela. quo nato, parere ultra cessavit.

And she repeated again and she bore a son and she called name his Shelah and he was in Kezib when bore she him.

6 Dedit autem Iudas uxorem primogenito suo Her, nomine Thamar.

And he took Judah a wife for Er firstborn his and name her [was] Tamar.

7 Fuit quoque Her primogenitus Iudae, nequam in conspectu Domini: et ab eo occisus est.

And he was Er [the] firstborn of Judah evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he put to death him Yahweh.

8 Dixit ergo Iudas ad Onan filium suum: Ingredere uxorem fratris tui, et sociare illi, ut suscites semen fratri tuo.

And he said Judah to Onan go into [the] wife of brother your and act as a husband's brother for her and raise up offspring for brother your.

9 Ille sciens non sibi nasci filios, introiens ad uxorem fratris sui, semen fundebat in terram, ne liberi fratris nomine nascerentur.

And he knew Onan that not to him it will belong the offspring and it was if he went into [the] wife of brother his and he spoiled [the] ground towards to not to give offspring to brother his.

10 Et idcirco percussit eum Dominus, eo quod rem detestabilem faceret.

And it was evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh [that] which he had done and he put to death also him.

11 Quam ob rem dixit Iudas Thamar nurui suae: Esto vidua in domo patris tui, donec crescat Sela filius meus: timebat enim ne et ipse moreretur, sicut fratres eius. Quae abiit, et habitavit in domo patris sui.

And he said Judah to Tamar daughter-in-law his dwell a widow [the] house of father your until he will grow up Shelah son my for he said lest he should die also he like brothers his and she went Tamar and she dwelt [the] house of father her.

12 Evolutis autem multis diebus, mortua est Sue uxor Iudae: qui post luctum consolatione suscepta, ascendebat ad tonsores ovium suarum, ipse et Hiras opilio gregis Odollamites, in Thamnas.

And they increased the days and she died [the] daughter of Shua [the] wife of Judah and he was comforted Judah and he went up to [the] shearers of sheep his he and Hirah friend his the Adullamite Timnah towards.

13 Nunciatumque est Thamar quod socer illius ascenderet in Thamnas ad tondendas oves.

And it was told to Tamar saying there! father-in-law your [is] going up Timnah towards to shear sheep his.

14 Quae, depositis viduitatis vestibus, assumpsit theristrum: et mutato habitu, sedit in bivio itineris, quod ducit Thamnam: eo quod crevisset Sela, et non eum accepisset maritum.

And she removed [the] clothes of widowhood her from on her and she covered with the veil and she wrapped herself up and she sat at [the] entrance of Enaim which [is] on [the] road of Timnah towards for she had seen that he had grown up Shelah and she not she had been given to him to a wife.

15 Quam cum vidisset Iudas, suspicatus est esse meretricem: operuerat enim vultum suum, ne agnosceretur.

And he saw her Judah and he considered her to a prostitute for she had covered face her.

16 Ingrediensque ad eam, ait: Dimitte me ut coeam tecum: nesciebat enim quod nurus sua esset. Qua respondente: Quid dabis mihi ut fruaris concubitu meo?

And he turned aside to her to the road and he said give! please let me go into you for not he knew that [was] daughter-in-law his she and she said what? will you give to me that you will come into me.

17 dixit: Mittam tibi hoedum de gregibus. Rursumque illa dicente: Patiar quod vis, si dederis mihi arrhabonem, donec mittas quod polliceris.

And he said I I will send a kid of goats from the flock and she said if you will give a pledge until sending [it] you.

18 Ait Iudas: Quid tibi vis pro arrhabone dari? Respondit: Annulum tuum, et armillam, et baculum quem manu tenes. Ad unum igitur coitum mulier concepit,

And he said what? [is] the pledge which I will give to you and she said seal your and cord your and staff your which [is] in hand your and he gave [them] to her and he went into her and she conceived to him.

19 et surgens abiit: depositoque habitu, quem sumpserat, induta est viduitatis vestibus.

And she arose and she went and she removed veil her from on her and she put on [the] clothes of widowhood her.

20 Misit autem Iudas hoedum per pastorem suum Odollamitem, ut reciperet pignus quod dederat mulieri: qui cum non invenisset eam,

And he sent Judah [the] kid of the goats by [the] hand of friend his the Adullamite to take the pledge from [the] hand of the woman and not he found her.

21 interrogavit homines loci illius: Ubi est mulier quae sedebat in bivio? Respondentibus cunctis: Non fuit in loco ista meretrix.

And he asked [the] men of place her saying where? [is] the cult prostitute she [was] at Enaim at the road and they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.

22 Reversus est ad Iudam, et dixit ei: Non inveni eam: sed et homines loci illius dixerunt mihi, numquam sedisse ibi scortum.

And he returned to Judah and he said not I found her and also [the] men of the place they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.

23 Ait Iudas: Habeat sibi, certe mendacii arguere nos non potest, ego misi hoedum quem promiseram: et tu non invenisti eam.

And he said Judah let her take [them] for herself lest we should become contempt there! I sent the kid this and you not you found her.

24 Ecce autem post tres menses nunciaverunt Iudae, dicentes: Fornicata est Thamar nurus tua, et videtur uterus illius intumescere. Dixitque Iudas: Producite eam ut comburatur.

And it was - when from three months and it was told to Judah saying she has acted as a prostitute Tamar daughter-in-law your and also here! [she is] pregnant to prostitution and he said Judah bring out her so she may be burned.

25 Quae cum duceretur ad poenam, misit ad socerum suum, dicens: De viro, cuius haec sunt, concepi: cognosce cuius sit annulus, et armilla, et baculus.

She [was being] brought out and she she sent to father-in-law her saying to a man whom these [belong] to him I [am] pregnant and she said investigate please [belong] to whom? the seal and the cord and the staff these.

26 Qui, agnitis muneribus, ait: Iustior me est: quia non tradidi eam Sela filio meo. Attamen ultra non cognovit eam.

And he recognized [them] Judah and he said she is righteous more than me for since not I gave her to Shelah son my and not he repeated again to know her.

27 Instante autem partu, apparuerunt gemini in utero: atque in ipsa effusione infantium unus protulit manum, in qua obstetrix ligavit coccinum, dicens:

And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.

28 Iste egredietur prior.

And it was when gave birth she and he put out a hand and she took the midwife and she tied on hand his a scarlet thread saying this one he came out first.

29 Illo vero retrahente manum, egressus est alter: dixitque mulier: Quare divisa est propter te maceria? et ob hanc causam vocavit nomen eius Phares.

And it was - when [he was] withdrawing hand his and there! he came out brother his and she said how! you have made a breach on yourself a breach and someone called name his Perez.

30 Postea egressus est frater eius, in cuius manu erat coccinum: quem appellavit Zara.

And after he came out brother his whom [was] on hand his the scarlet thread and someone called name his Zerah.
