< UGenesisi 38 >

1 Ngalesosikhathi uJuda watshiya abafowabo wahamba wayahlala lendoda yase-Adulami eyayithiwa nguHira.
Mago zupa Juda'a afuhe'ina nezamatreno Adulami kumate ne' Hira'e nehaza ne'ene umani'ne.
2 Khonale uJuda wabonana lendodakazi yendoda engumKhenani eyayithiwa nguShuwa. Wayithatha wembatha layo;
Juda'a anantega Kenani ne' Sua'e nehaza ne'mofo mofa keteno, a' erino anteno mase'ne.
3 yathatha isisu yazala indodana yathiwa ngu-Eri.
Ana higeno amu'ene huno ne' kasentegeno, agra Eri'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
4 Wazithwala njalo wazala indodana wayithi ngu-Onani.
Anante mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno, Onani'e huno agi'a ante'ne.
5 Wazala njalo enye indodana wayithi nguShela. Le wayizalela eKhezibhi.
Ana a'mo'a mago'ene ne' kasenteno Sela'e huno agi'a ante'ne. Juda'a Kezipi mani'negeno nenaro'a ne'mofavrea kase ante'ne.
6 UJuda wazuzela u-Eri izibulo lakhe umfazi, ibizo lakhe linguThamari.
Hanki Juda'a agonesa ne'mofavre'a Erina mago a' avre ami'ne. Ana a'mofo agi'a Tema'e.
7 Kodwa u-Eri izibulo likaJuda, wayengcolile emehlweni kaThixo; uThixo wasembulala.
Ana hianagi Judana agonesa mofavre'a Eri'a Ra Anumza'mofo avufi havi avu'avaza higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a ahe fri'ne.
8 UJuda wasesithi ku-Onani, “Lala lomkamfowenu ugcwalise umlandu wakho njengomfowabo uzalele umfowenu abantwana.”
Juda'a amanage huno Onanina asami'ne, Nempuka'amofo kento ate vunka, nefu a' eneriankna avu'ava hunka, negafu a' erigeno, negafu mofavre kasenteno.
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.
Hianagi Onani'a antahi'ne, kento a'mo kasentesia mofavrea agri mofavre omanigahiankino, nempu'amofo a' ene nemaseno'a avufga rina, nefu mofavre antemi'zanku mopafi atre'ne.
10 Lokho ayekwenza kwakukubi emehlweni kaThixo; ngakho uThixo wambulala.
E'inama agra hiazanku Ra Anumzamo'a musena osuno, ahe fri'ne.
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.
Anante Juda'a nenofero Temana anage huno asmi'ne, Negafa nontega vunka kento a' umani'negeno, ne'niamo Sela'a ra hute'na'e. Higeno Tema'a vuno nefa nompi umani'ne.
12 Ngemva kwesikhathi eside umkaJuda, indodakazi kaShuwa wafa. Kwathi uJuda eseduduzekile waya eThimina, emadodeni ayegunda izimvu zakhe, ehamba lomngane wakhe uHira umʼAdulami.
Mago'a zagegafu evutegeno Sua mofa, Juda nenaro'a frigeno, zamasunku hu'za zavi atazageno ana kna vagaretegeno, Juda'a sipisipi azoka neharerega Timna kumate agrane, arone'a Adulamu kumateti ne' Hira'ene vu'na'e.
13 Kwathi uThamari esetsheliwe kwathiwa, “Uyihlozala uyeza eThimina ukuzagunda izimvu zakhe,”
Mago'a vahe'mo'za Temana ome asami'za, Konkeno negnofero'a sipisipi'a azoka hareku Timna kumate evu'ne.
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.
Hazageno ana a'mo kento kukena hate netreno amne kukena huno, avugosa refineteno, Enaim kuma'mofo kasante Timna vu kante emani'neno, amanage huno agesa antahine, Sela'a hago ra hu'neanagi, a' ka'e huno navre omi'ne.
15 UJuda wathi embona wacabanga ukuthi yisifebe, ngoba wayezivale ubuso.
Hagi Juda'ma ana a'ma eme negeno'a, monko a' mani'ne huno agesa antahi'ne. Na'ankure ana a'mo'a avugosa refiteno mani'negeno keso'e osu'ne.
16 Kwathi ngoba engamboni ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe waya kuye eceleni komgwaqo wathi, “Woza manje, ngifuna ukulala lawe.” Yena wabuza wathi, “Uzangiphani ngingalala lawe?”
Agra kana atreno ana a'mofonte vugantuteno amanage hu'ne, Menina knare kagranena umasegahuo? Agra mofavre'amofo are huno ontahi'ne. Tema'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Na'a namitenka nagra'nena umasegahane?
17 Wathi, “Ngizakuthumezela izinyane lembuzi emhlambini wami.” UThamari wabuza wathi, “Uzangipha na ulutho lube yisibambiso ungakalithumezi?”
Higeno agra kenona'a huno, Afuzaga ni'afinti mago ve meme avrentegantegahue huno asmi'ne. Ana a'mo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Knare mago kamente'zana avame'za naminanke'na azeri nenugenka, henka'a avrente nantegahampi?
18 Wathi, “Ngikuphe sibambiso bani?” Waphendula wathi, “Isilengiso sophawu lwakho lentambo yaso, kanye lodondolo lwakho oluphetheyo.” Ngakho wamupha lezozinto waselala laye, wahle wazithwala.
Higeno ana ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Avame'zana nagra na'a kamigahue? Higeno ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, rinine, knankempi kvasese nofi'ene, kazampima eri'nana azompa ka'ane namigahane. Higeno ana miko'za nemino ome anteno masegeno agriteti amu'ene hu'ne.
19 Esesuka lapho uThamari wakhupha isimbombozo sakhe wagqoka izigqoko zakhe zokuzila njalo.
Anante otino vuno avugosafi refite'neaza eri netreno, kento kukena omeri hankre'ne.
20 Kusenjalo uJuda wathumezela izinyane lembuzi ngomngane wakhe umʼAdulami ukuze abuyiselwe isibambiso sakhe esasikowesifazane lowo, kodwa wamswela.
Juda'a rone'a Adulami ne'te, kasefa ve meme avre amigeno ana a'ma ami'neaza azampinti erinogu ome hakeana ana ara onke'ne.
21 Wabuza amadoda ayehlala lapho wathi, “Singaphi isifebe ebesilapha eceleni komgwaqo e-Enayimi na?” Athi, “Kakuzange kube lesifebe lapha.”
Agra ana a'mofo kumate vahe zamantahigeno, Havi anumzamofo mono nompima monko a'ma Enaimima vu kantegama nemania ara ina'ne? Hige'za zamagra amanage hu'naze, Havi anumzamofo mono nompina, monko ara amafina omani'ne.
22 Ngakho wasebuyela kuJuda wayakuthi, “Kangimfumananga. Futhi amadoda lawo ahlala khona athi kakuzange kube lesifebe esasihlala lapho.”
Ana ne'mo'a ete Judante vuno, amanage ome hu'ne, ana ara hake'na erifore osuge'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za amafina monko ara omani'ne hu'naze.
23 UJuda wasesithi, “Myekele ahle akugcine khonokho alakho funa sicine sesiyinhlekisa. Phezu kwalokho mina bengimthumezele izinyane lembuzi, kodwa kawusamfumananga.”
Anante Juda'a amanage hu'ne, Aru vahe'mo'za tagiza resagi atregeno ana a'mo erino. Hago ama'i ve meme avre kamugenka, ana ara ome hakenka eri fore osane.
24 Ngemva kwezinyanga ezintathu uJuda watshelwa ukuthi umalukazana wakhe uThamari wayesefebile wasethatha isisu. UJuda wathi, “Mkhupheni, atshiswe aze afe.”
Henka 3'a ikana evutegeno, Judana amanage hu'za asami'naze, neganofero Tema'a savri huno vano nehuno mofavre amu'ene hu'ne. Hazageno Juda'a anage hu'ne, Avre fegi atreta ana ara tevefi kre kasegeho!
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.”
Ana ara avazu hu'za fegi'a atirmizageno, ana a'mo'a huno, Nagrama namu'ene hu'noana ama zamofo nefanteti mofavrea eriri'noe. Nehuno ana zana zamige'za eri'za nenoferonte vu'za anage hu'za ome asami'naze, muse (plis) hugantoanki ko, ama rinine, anankempi avasese'zane, azompa aza suzane?
26 UJuda wazazi izinto lezo wathi, “Ulungile kulami, ngoba kangisamphanga endodaneni yami uShela.” Kasaphindanga wembatha laye njalo.
Higeno Juda'a ana zantmima keno antahino'ma nehuno'a amanage hu'ne, Tema'a nagrira nagatereno knare avu'avaza hu'ne. Haviza hu'na nagra nenamofo Selana avre omugeno anteno omase'ne. Nehuno Juda'a ete mago'ene ana a'enena uomase'ne.
27 Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, wayelamaphahla angabafana esiswini.
Ana a'mo mofavre anteku nehigeno, keana kugave'za rimpafina mani'na'e.
28 Wathi khonapho ebeletha omunye wawo wakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wathatha intambo ebomvu wayibophela esihlakaleni sesandla salo wathi, “Leli yilo eliphume kuqala.”
Anante mofavre kasenentegeno mago'mo azana ante kamategeno, aza huno mofavre kasemi a'mo'a koranke osi nofi azante kinenteno, amanage hu'ne, Ama mofavremo koteno e'ne.
29 Kodwa labuyisela isandla, umfowabo waphuma kuqala, wasesithi, “Le yiyo indlela ofohle ngayo!” Laseliphiwa ibizo elithi nguPherezi.
Hianagi eteno azana anamagi agu'ategeno, ete mago'mo atiramine. Ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Inankna hunka kagra anafe hunka agaterenka ane, nehuno agi'a Peresi'e huno antemi'ne.
30 Ngakho umfowabo, owayelentambo esihlakaleni, waphuma wethiwa ibizo wathiwa nguZera.
Hanki amefiga'a nefu osi koranke nofi'ma azante kinte'nemo atiramigeno, agi'a Zela'e huno antemi'ne.
