UGenesisi 38

1 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uJuda wehla esuka kubafowabo, waphambukela endodeni yeAdulamu, obizo layo linguHira.

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 UJuda wasebona lapho indodakazi yendoda umKhanani, obizo lakhe linguShuwa; wayithatha wangena kuyo.

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 Yasithatha isisu, yazala indodana; waseyitha ibizo layo uEri.

and to conceive and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Er

4 Yasiphinda ithatha isisu, yazala indodana; yayitha ibizo layo uOnani.

and to conceive still and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Onan

5 Yasisengezelela futhi yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo layo uShela; kodwa wayeseKezibi ekuyizaleni kwayo.

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 wasemthathela uEri izibulo lakhe umfazi, njalo ibizo lakhe linguTamari.

and to take: take Judah woman: wife to/for Er firstborn his and name her Tamar

7 Kodwa uEri, izibulo likaJuda, wayemubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasimbulala.

and to be Er firstborn Judah bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to die him LORD

8 UJuda wasesithi kuOnani: Ngena kumkamfowenu, wenze kuye imfanelo yomfowabo wendoda, umvusele umfowenu inzalo.

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 UOnani wayesazi-ke ukuthi inzalo kayiyikuba ngeyakhe. Kwasekusithi lapho engena kumkamfowabo, wayichithela emhlabathini, ukuze angamniki umfowabo inzalo.

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 Kwasekusiba kubi emehlweni eNkosi lokho akwenzayo; ngakho yambulala laye.

and be evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD which to make: do and to die also [obj] him

11 UJuda wasesithi kuTamari umalokazana wakhe: Hlala ungumfelokazi endlini kayihlo, aze akhule uShela indodana yami; ngoba wathi: Hlezi laye afe njengabafowabo. UTamari wasehamba wahlala endlini 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 Emva kwensuku ezinengi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa, umkaJuda. UJuda eseziduduzile, wenyukela kubagundi bezimvu zakhe eThiminathi, yena lomngane wakhe uHira umAdulamu.

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 Kwasekusaziswa kuTamari ukuthi: Khangela, uyihlozala wenyukela eThiminathi ukugunda 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 Wasekhulula izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe, wazimbomboza ngesimbombozo, wazigoqela, wahlala esangweni iEnayima, elisendleleni eya eThiminathi; ngoba wabona ukuthi uShela wayesekhulile, njalo wayengamnikwanga ukuba 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 Lapho uJuda esembonile, wacabanga ukuthi uliwule, ngoba embomboze ubuso bakhe.

and to see: see her Judah and to devise: think her to/for to fornicate for to cover face her

16 Wasephambukela kuye endleleni wathi: Woza-ke, ngingene kuwe; ngoba wayengazi ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe. Wasesithi: Uzanginikani ukuze ungene kimi?

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 Wasesithi: Mina ngizathumela izinyane lembuzi elivela emhlanjini. Wasesithi: Uzanginika isibambiso uze ulithumele yini?

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 Wasesithi: Sibambiso bani engizakunika sona? Wasesithi: Indandatho elophawu lwakho, lentambo yakho, lodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho. Wasemupha, wangena kuye; wasethatha isisu sakhe.

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 Wasesukuma wahamba, wakhulula isimbombozo sakhe, wafaka izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe.

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 UJuda wasethumela izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somngane wakhe umAdulamu ukuze athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazana; kodwa kamtholanga.

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 Wasebuza amadoda endawo yakowesifazana esithi: Lingaphi iwule elaliseEnayima endleleni? Asesithi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule 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 Wasebuyela kuJuda wathi: Kangilitholanga, futhi lamadoda endawo athi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.

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: Kalizithathele, hlezi sideleleke; khangela, ngithumele lelizinyane, kodwa wena kawumtholanga.

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 Kwasekusithi phose emva kwenyanga ezintathu kwaziswa kuJuda ukuthi: UTamari umalokazana wakhe ufebile, futhi khangela-ke, ulesisu sokufetshwa. UJuda wasesithi: Mkhupheni atshiswe.

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 Esekhutshiwe, yena wathumela kuyisezala, esithi: Ngoniwe yindoda engumnini walezizinto. Wathi futhi: Ake uhlolisise ukuthi ngezikabani lezizinto, indandatho elophawu lezintambo lodondolo.

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 wasezivuma wathi: Ulungile kulami, ngakho njengoba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Njalo kabanga esamazi futhi.

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 Kwasekusithi esikhathini sokubeletha kwakhe, khangela-ke, amaphahla ayesesiswini sakhe.

and to be in/on/with time to beget she and behold twin in/on/with belly: womb her

28 Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe, elinye lakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wasithatha, wabopha intambo ebomvu esandleni salo, esithi: Lo uzaphuma 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 kwathi lifinyeza isandla salo, khangela-ke umfowabo waphuma; wasesithi: Ufohle njani? Ukufohla kakube phezu kwakho. Wasemutha ibizo lakhe uPerezi.

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 Emva kwalokhu kwasekuphuma umfowabo owayelentambo ebomvu esandleni sakhe; wasemutha ibizo lakhe uZera.

and after to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his which upon hand his [the] scarlet and to call: call by name his Zerah
