Pirmā Mozus 38
1 Un notikās tanī laikā, ka Jūda no saviem brāļiem nogāja un apmetās pie kāda Adulamnieku vīra, Hīras vārdā.
At that time, Judah left his older and younger brothers and went down from the hilly area and stayed with a man whose name was Hiram, who lived in Adullam [town].
2 Un Jūda redzēja tur kāda Kanaāniešu vīra meitu, un viņa vārds bija Šua, un viņš to ņēma un gāja pie tās.
There he (met/became acquainted with) a woman who was the daughter of a man from Canaan named Shua. He married her. He had sex [EUP] with her,
3 Un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Ģeru.
and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
4 Un tā tapa atkal grūta un dzemdēja dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Onanu.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
5 Un tā dzemdēja vēl vienu dēlu un nosauca viņa vārdu Šelu, un viņš bija Ķezibā, kad tā to dzemdēja.
Many years later, when Judah and his family went to live in Kezib [town], Judah’s wife gave birth to another son, whom she named Shelah.
6 Un Jūda ņēma sievu priekš Ģera, sava pirmdzimtā, un viņas vārds bija Tamāre.
When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
7 Bet Ģers, Jūdas pirmdzimtais, bija ļauns Tā Kunga priekšā, tāpēc Tas Kungs to nokāva.
But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
8 Tad Jūda sacīja Onanam: ej pie sava brāļa sievas un ņem to sava brāļa vietā un cel dzimumu savam brālim.
Then Judah said to Onan, “Your older brother died without having any sons. So marry his widow and have sex [EUP] with her. That is what our customs require that you should do.”
9 Bet Onans zinādams, ka tas dzimums viņam nepiederēs, pie sava brāļa sievas iedams, tam lika izgaist zemē, lai savam brālim nedotu dzimuma.
But Onan knew if he did that, any children who would be born would not be considered to be his. So every time he had sex [EUP] with his brother’s widow, he spilled his semen on the ground, so that she would not get pregnant and produce children for his older brother.
10 Un Tam Kungam nepatika, ko viņš darīja, un viņš to arīdzan nokāva.
Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
11 Tad Jūda sacīja uz savu vedeklu Tamāri: paliec atraitne sava tēva namā, tiekams Šelus, mans dēls, pieaug; jo viņš domāja: vai viņam arī nebūs jāmirst, kā viņa brāļiem. Un Tamāre nogāja un dzīvoja sava tēva namā.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, [he can marry you].” But Judah [really did not want Shelah to marry her, because] he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar [obeyed Judah and] went back to live in her father’s house again.
12 Kad nu labs laiks bija pagājis, tad Šuas meita, Jūda sieva, nomira; pēc tam Jūda iepriecinājās un gāja pie saviem avju cirpējiem uz Timnu, viņš un Hīra, viņa draugs, tas Adulamnieks.
Several years later, Judah’s wife, who was the daughter of Shua, died. When the time of mourning for her was finished, Judah decided to go up to Timnah, to the place where his (men were shearing his sheep/sheep were being sheared) His friend Hiram, from Adullam, went with him.
13 Un Tamārei tapa vēstīts un sacīts: redzi, tavs tēvocis iet uz Timnu, savas avis cirpt.
Someone said to Tamar, “Your father-in-law is going to [the fields near the city of] Timnah to help the men who are shearing his sheep.”
14 Tad viņa novilka savas atraitņu drēbes un apsedzās ar vaiga apsegu un aptinās un apsēdās priekš Enaima vārtiem, kas ir uz Timnas ceļa; jo tā bija redzējusi, ka Šelus bija pieaudzis un ka viņa tam nebija dota par sievu.
[She realized that now Shelah was grown up, but Judah had not given her to him to be his wife. So] she took off her widow’s clothes, and covered her head with a veil, so that people would not (recognize her/know who she was). Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim [town], which is on the road to Timnah.
15 Un Jūda to redzēja un šķita, to esam mauku, tāpēc ka tā savu vaigu bija apsegusi.
When Judah came along and saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, because she had covered her head [like prostitutes often did] (OR, [and sat where prostitutes often sat)].
16 Un noklīda pie tās ceļmalā un sacīja: nāc jel, laid man pie tevis ieiet; jo viņš nezināja, to savu vedeklu esam. Un tā sacīja: ko tu man dosi, ja tu pie manis ieiesi?
Judah did not realize that she was his daughter-in-law. So he said to her, “Hey, let me have sex [EUP] with you!” She replied, “What will you give me for allowing you to have sex [EUP] with me?”
17 Un tas sacīja: es tev sūtīšu vienu āzi no ganāmpulka. Un tā sacīja: tad dod man ķīlas, tiekams tu to sūti.
He replied, “I will send you a young goat from my flock of goats.” She asked, “Will you give me something now for me to keep until you send the goat?”
18 Tad tas sacīja: kas tās tādas ķīlas, ko man tev būs dot? Un tā atbildēja: tavs aizspiežamais gredzens un tava virkne un tava niedre, kas tavā rokā. Un tas viņai to deva un iegāja pie tās; un tā tapa grūta no viņa.
He replied, “What do you want me to give to you?” She replied, “Give me the ring that has your name on it that is tied by a cord around your neck, and give me the walking stick that you are holding in your hand.” So he gave them to her. Then he had sex [EUP] with her, and she became pregnant.
19 Un tā cēlās un aizgāja un nolika to apsegu un apvilka savas atraitņu drēbes.
After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
20 Un Jūda sūtīja to āzi caur savu draugu, to Adulamnieku, atņemt tās ķīlas no tās sievas rokas; bet tas to neatrada.
Judah gave a young goat to his friend from Adullam, for him to take back to the woman, as he had promised. But his friend could not find the woman.
21 Tad tas vaicāja tās vietas ļaudis sacīdams: kur ir tā mauka, kas Enaimā uz ceļa sēdējusi? Un tie sacīja: še maukas nav bijis.
So he asked the men who lived there, “Where is the prostitute who was sitting by the road at Enaim?” They replied, “There has never been a prostitute here!”
22 Un tas atgriezās pie Jūdas un sacīja: es to neesmu atradis, un tās vietas ļaudis arīdzan saka: še maukas nav bijis.
So he went back to Judah and said, “I did not find her. [Furthermore], the men who live in that town said, ‘There has never been a prostitute here.’”
23 Tad Jūda sacīja: lai tā to sev patur, ka netopam kaunā; redzi, es šo āzi esmu sūtījis, un tu viņas neesi atradis.
Judah said, “She can keep the things that I gave to her. If we continued to search for her, people would ridicule us. I tried to send this young goat to her, but you could not find her to give it to her.”
24 Un notikās pēc kādiem trim mēnešiem, tad Jūdam tapa vēstīts un sacīts: Tamāre, tava vedekla, maucību dzinusi, un redzi, tā ir arī grūta no maukošanas. Tad Jūda sacīja: izvediet to ārā, ka tā top sadedzināta.
About three months later, someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and now she is pregnant!” Judah said, “Drag her outside of the city and kill her by burning her!”
25 Kad nu tā tapa izvesta, tad tā sūtīja pie sava tēvoča un sacīja: no tā vīra, kam šās lietas pieder, es esmu grūta; un tā sacīja: vai pazīsti jel, - kam tas aizspiežamais gredzens un šī virkne un šī niedre pieder?
But as they were taking her outside of the city, she gave the ring and walking stick to someone, and told him to take them to Judah, and say to him, “The man who owns these things is the one who caused me to become pregnant.” She also said to tell him, “Look at this ring, and the cord that is attached to it, and this walking stick. Whose are they?”
26 Un Jūda tās pazina un sacīja: tā sieva ir taisnāka nekā es, tāpēc ka es viņu savam dēlam Šelum neesmu devis. Un viņš to vairs neatzina.
When the man did that, Judah recognized the ring and the stick. He said, “She is more righteous than I am. I did not tell my son Shelah to marry her, as I promised that I would.” And Judah did not have sex [EUP] with her again.
27 Un tai dzemdējot, redzi, tai bija dvīņi viņas miesās.
When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
28 Un kad tā dzemdēja, tad viens roku izbāza, un bērnu saņēmēja to ņēma un apsēja sarkanu pavedienu ap to roku un sacīja: šis nāks pirmais ārā.
As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand. So the midwife fastened a scarlet thread around his wrist, saying, “This one came out first.”
29 Un kad tas to roku ievilka, redzi, tad nāca viņa brālis ārā; un tā sacīja: kāpēc tu sev plēsumu esi plēsis? Un tā viņa vārdu nosauca Perec (plēsis).
But he pulled his hand back inside the womb, and his brother came out first. So she said, “So this is how you break your way out first!” So she named him Perez, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘breaking out].’
30 Un pēc tam viņa brālis nāca ārā, ap kā roku tas sarkanais pavediens bija, un tā viņa vārdu nosauca Zerus (atspīdums).
Then his younger brother, the one who had the scarlet thread around his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘redness of dawn].’
