UGenesisi 38
1 Ngalesosikhathi uJuda watshiya abafowabo wahamba wayahlala lendoda yase-Adulami eyayithiwa nguHira.
and to be in/on/with time [the] he/she/it and to go down Judah from with brother: male-sibling his and to stretch till man Adullamite and name his Hirah
2 Khonale uJuda wabonana lendodakazi yendoda engumKhenani eyayithiwa nguShuwa. Wayithatha wembatha layo;
and to see: see there Judah daughter man Canaanite and name his Shua and to take: marry her and to come (in): come to(wards) her
3 yathatha isisu yazala indodana yathiwa ngu-Eri.
and to conceive and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Er
4 Wazithwala njalo wazala indodana wayithi ngu-Onani.
and to conceive still and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Onan
5 Wazala njalo enye indodana wayithi nguShela. Le wayizalela eKhezibhi.
and to add: again still and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Shelah and to be in/on/with Chezib in/on/with to beget she [obj] him
6 UJuda wazuzela u-Eri izibulo lakhe umfazi, ibizo lakhe linguThamari.
and to take: take Judah woman: wife to/for Er firstborn his and name her Tamar
7 Kodwa u-Eri izibulo likaJuda, wayengcolile emehlweni kaThixo; uThixo wasembulala.
and to be Er firstborn Judah bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to die him LORD
8 UJuda wasesithi ku-Onani, “Lala lomkamfowenu ugcwalise umlandu wakho njengomfowabo uzalele umfowenu abantwana.”
and to say Judah to/for Onan to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling your and be brother-in-law [obj] her and to arise: establish seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling your
9 Kodwa u-Onani wakwazi ukuthi inzalo leyo yayingezukuba ngeyakhe; ngakho kwakusithi sonke isikhathi angalala lomkamfowabo achithele inhlanyelo phansi emhlabathini ukuze angaze azalela umfowabo abantwana.
and to know Onan for not to/for him to be [the] seed: children and to be if to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling his and to ruin land: soil [to] to/for lest to give: give seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling his
10 Lokho ayekwenza kwakukubi emehlweni kaThixo; ngakho uThixo wambulala.
and be evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD which to make: do and to die also [obj] him
11 UJuda wasesithi kumalukazana wakhe uThamari, “Hamba uyehlala njengomfelokazi emzini kayihlo indodana yami uShela ize ikhule.” Ngoba wanakana wathi, “Laye angafa njengabanewabo.” Ngakho uThamari wahamba wayahlala emzini kayise.
and to say Judah to/for Tamar daughter-in-law his to dwell widow house: household father your till to magnify Shelah son: child my for to say lest to die also he/she/it like/as brother: male-sibling his and to go: went Tamar and to dwell house: household father her
12 Ngemva kwesikhathi eside umkaJuda, indodakazi kaShuwa wafa. Kwathi uJuda eseduduzekile waya eThimina, emadodeni ayegunda izimvu zakhe, ehamba lomngane wakhe uHira umʼAdulami.
and to multiply [the] day and to die daughter Shua woman: wife Judah and to be sorry: comfort Judah and to ascend: rise upon to shear flock his he/she/it and Hirah neighbor his [the] Adullamite Timnah [to]
13 Kwathi uThamari esetsheliwe kwathiwa, “Uyihlozala uyeza eThimina ukuzagunda izimvu zakhe,”
and to tell to/for Tamar to/for to say behold father-in-law your to ascend: rise Timnah [to] to/for to shear flock his
14 wakhulula izigqoko zakhe zokuzila wazimboza ngesimbombozo ukuzifihla, wasehlala phansi eduzane lesango lase-Enayimi, elisendleleni yaseThimina. Ngoba wabona ukuthi loba uShela wayesekhulile, yena wayelokhu engakamphiwa ukuthi abe ngumkakhe.
and to turn aside: remove garment widowhood her from upon her and to cover in/on/with shawl and to enwrap and to dwell in/on/with entrance Enaim which upon way: road Timnah [to] for to see: see for to magnify Shelah and he/she/it not to give: give(marriage) to/for him to/for woman: wife
15 UJuda wathi embona wacabanga ukuthi yisifebe, ngoba wayezivale ubuso.
and to see: see her Judah and to devise: think her to/for to fornicate for to cover face her
16 Kwathi ngoba engamboni ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe waya kuye eceleni komgwaqo wathi, “Woza manje, ngifuna ukulala lawe.” Yena wabuza wathi, “Uzangiphani ngingalala lawe?”
and to stretch to(wards) her to(wards) [the] way: road and to say to give [emph?] please to come (in): come to(wards) you for not to know for daughter-in-law his he/she/it and to say what? to give: give to/for me for to come (in): come to(wards) me
17 Wathi, “Ngizakuthumezela izinyane lembuzi emhlambini wami.” UThamari wabuza wathi, “Uzangipha na ulutho lube yisibambiso ungakalithumezi?”
and to say I to send: depart kid goat from [the] flock and to say if to give: give pledge till to send: depart you
18 Wathi, “Ngikuphe sibambiso bani?” Waphendula wathi, “Isilengiso sophawu lwakho lentambo yaso, kanye lodondolo lwakho oluphetheyo.” Ngakho wamupha lezozinto waselala laye, wahle wazithwala.
and to say what? [the] pledge which to give: give to/for you and to say signet your and cord your and tribe: rod your which in/on/with hand your and to give: give to/for her and to come (in): come to(wards) her and to conceive to/for him
19 Esesuka lapho uThamari wakhupha isimbombozo sakhe wagqoka izigqoko zakhe zokuzila njalo.
and to arise: rise and to go: went and to turn aside: remove shawl her from upon her and to clothe garment widowhood her
20 Kusenjalo uJuda wathumezela izinyane lembuzi ngomngane wakhe umʼAdulami ukuze abuyiselwe isibambiso sakhe esasikowesifazane lowo, kodwa wamswela.
and to send: depart Judah [obj] kid [the] goat in/on/with hand neighbor his [the] Adullamite to/for to take: take [the] pledge from hand [the] woman and not to find her
21 Wabuza amadoda ayehlala lapho wathi, “Singaphi isifebe ebesilapha eceleni komgwaqo e-Enayimi na?” Athi, “Kakuzange kube lesifebe lapha.”
and to ask [obj] human place her to/for to say where? [the] cult prostitute he/she/it in/on/with Enaim upon [the] way: road and to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute
22 Ngakho wasebuyela kuJuda wayakuthi, “Kangimfumananga. Futhi amadoda lawo ahlala khona athi kakuzange kube lesifebe esasihlala lapho.”
and to return: return to(wards) Judah and to say not to find her and also human [the] place to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute
23 UJuda wasesithi, “Myekele ahle akugcine khonokho alakho funa sicine sesiyinhlekisa. Phezu kwalokho mina bengimthumezele izinyane lembuzi, kodwa kawusamfumananga.”
and to say Judah to take: take to/for her lest to be to/for contempt behold to send: depart [the] kid [the] this and you(m. s.) not to find her
24 Ngemva kwezinyanga ezintathu uJuda watshelwa ukuthi umalukazana wakhe uThamari wayesefebile wasethatha isisu. UJuda wathi, “Mkhupheni, atshiswe aze afe.”
and to be like/as from three month and to tell to/for Judah to/for to say to fornicate Tamar daughter-in-law your and also behold pregnant to/for fornication and to say Judah to come out: send her and to burn
25 Kwathi lapho ekhutshwa wathumela ilizwi kuyisezala wathi, “Ngoniwa yindoda engumnikazi walezizinto.” Wengeza ngokuthi, “Akubone ukuthi singaba ngesikabani isilengiso sophawu lesi lentambo kanye lodondolo lolu.”
he/she/it to come out: send and he/she/it to send: depart to(wards) father-in-law her to/for to say to/for man which these to/for him I pregnant and to say to recognize please to/for who? [the] ring and [the] cord and [the] tribe: rod [the] these
26 UJuda wazazi izinto lezo wathi, “Ulungile kulami, ngoba kangisamphanga endodaneni yami uShela.” Kasaphindanga wembatha laye njalo.
and to recognize Judah and to say to justify from me for as that: since as as not to give: give her to/for Shelah son: child my and not to add: again still to/for to know her
27 Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, wayelamaphahla angabafana esiswini.
and to be in/on/with time to beget she and behold twin in/on/with belly: womb her
28 Wathi khonapho ebeletha omunye wawo wakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wathatha intambo ebomvu wayibophela esihlakaleni sesandla salo wathi, “Leli yilo eliphume kuqala.”
and to be in/on/with to beget she and to give: put hand and to take: take [the] to beget and to conspire upon hand his scarlet to/for to say this to come out: produce first
29 Kodwa labuyisela isandla, umfowabo waphuma kuqala, wasesithi, “Le yiyo indlela ofohle ngayo!” Laseliphiwa ibizo elithi nguPherezi.
and to be like/as to return: return hand his and behold to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his and to say what? to break through upon you breach and to call: call by name his Perez
30 Ngakho umfowabo, owayelentambo esihlakaleni, waphuma wethiwa ibizo wathiwa nguZera.
and after to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his which upon hand his [the] scarlet and to call: call by name his Zerah
