UGenesisi 38
1 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uJuda wehla esuka kubafowabo, waphambukela endodeni yeAdulamu, obizo layo linguHira.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Yuda ʋu le nɔviawo gbɔ heyi Adulam, eye wònɔ ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Hira la gbɔ.
2 UJuda wasebona lapho indodakazi yendoda umKhanani, obizo lakhe linguShuwa; wayithatha wangena kuyo.
Yuda do go Kanaan nyɔnu aɖe si nye Sua ƒe vi la le afi ma, eye wòɖee.
3 Yasithatha isisu, yazala indodana; waseyitha ibizo layo uEri.
Efɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Er.
4 Yasiphinda ithatha isisu, yazala indodana; yayitha ibizo layo uOnani.
Egafɔ fu, dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Onan.
5 Yasisengezelela futhi yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo layo uShela; kodwa wayeseKezibi ekuyizaleni kwayo.
Egadzi ŋutsuvi ake, eye wòtsɔ ŋkɔ nɛ be Sela; teƒe si wodzii le lae nye Kezib.
6 UJuda wasemthathela uEri izibulo lakhe umfazi, njalo ibizo lakhe linguTamari.
Esi via Er tsi la, Yuda na wòɖe nyɔnuvi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Tamar.
7 Kodwa uEri, izibulo likaJuda, wayemubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasimbulala.
Ke Er, Yuda ƒe ŋgɔgbevi nye ŋutsu vɔ̃ɖi aɖe, eya ta Yehowa wui.
8 UJuda wasesithi kuOnani: Ngena kumkamfowenu, wenze kuye imfanelo yomfowabo wendoda, umvusele umfowenu inzalo.
Yuda gblɔ na Er nɔviŋutsu Onan be, “Ele be nàɖe Tamar abe ale si míaƒe se di tso ame kuku nɔviŋutsu si be wòawɔ ene, ale be Tamar ƒe vi siwo wòadzi na wò la nanyi nɔviwò kukua ƒe dome.”
9 UOnani wayesazi-ke ukuthi inzalo kayiyikuba ngeyakhe. Kwasekusithi lapho engena kumkamfowabo, wayichithela emhlabathini, ukuze angamniki umfowabo inzalo.
Ke Onan medi be yeadzi vi si womabu abe ye ŋutɔ tɔ ene o, eya ta togbɔ be eɖe Tamar hã la, ɣe sia ɣi si wòadɔ Tamar gbɔ la, enana eƒe ŋutsutsi la duduna ɖe aba la dzi, ale be Tamar mafɔ fu adzi vi si anye nɔvia kukua tɔ o.
10 Kwasekusiba kubi emehlweni eNkosi lokho akwenzayo; ngakho yambulala laye.
Le Yehowa gbɔ la, enye nu vɔ̃ Onan wɔ be wògbe be yemadzi vi na ye nɔvi kukua o, eya ta Yehowa wu eya hã.
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.
Eya ta Yuda gblɔ na toyɔvia, Tamar be megaɖe srɔ̃ azɔ le ɣe ma ɣi me o, ke boŋ wòatrɔ ayi wo de le edzilawo gbɔ, eye wòanye ahosi va se ɖe esime ye vi suetɔ, Sela natsi ate ŋu aɖee. Ke Yuda meɖo le nyateƒe me be Sela naɖee o, gake egblɔ nenema, elabena evɔ̃ be Mawu ava wu eya hã abe ale si wòwu foa eveawo ene. Ale Tamar yi wo de le edzilawo gbɔ.
12 Emva kwensuku ezinengi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa, umkaJuda. UJuda eseziduduzile, wenyukela kubagundi bezimvu zakhe eThiminathi, yena lomngane wakhe uHira umAdulamu.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Yuda srɔ̃ ku. Le kunuwɔwɔ nɛ vɔ megbe la, Yuda kple exɔlɔ̃, Hira, Adulamtɔ la yi Timna be woakpɔ fukoko na alẽwo dzi.
13 Kwasekusaziswa kuTamari ukuthi: Khangela, uyihlozala wenyukela eThiminathi ukugunda izimvu zakhe.
Esi ame aɖe gblɔ na Tamar be toa dze Timna mɔ dzi hegbɔna fu ko ge na alẽawo,
14 Wasekhulula izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe, wazimbomboza ngesimbombozo, wazigoqela, wahlala esangweni iEnayima, elisendleleni eya eThiminathi; ngoba wabona ukuthi uShela wayesekhulile, njalo wayengamnikwanga ukuba ngumkakhe.
eye esi wònya azɔ kɔtɛe be womaɖe mɔ yeaɖe Sela o, togbɔ be Sela tsi azɔ hã la, eɖe eƒe ahovɔ da ɖi, eye wòtsɔ motsyɔvɔ tsyɔ mo, ale be womagadze si ye o. Enɔ anyi ɖe mɔ to le Enaim si le Timna mɔ dzi la ƒe agbo nu.
15 Lapho uJuda esembonile, wacabanga ukuthi uliwule, ngoba embomboze ubuso bakhe.
Yuda kpɔe esime wòva yina, eye wòbu be gboloe le eƒe motsyɔvɔ la ta.
16 Wasephambukela kuye endleleni wathi: Woza-ke, ngingene kuwe; ngoba wayengazi ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe. Wasesithi: Uzanginikani ukuze ungene kimi?
Ale Yuda gogoe hebiae be wòana yeadɔ egbɔ, ke menya be ye ŋutɔ yeƒe toyɔvie o. Tamar biae be, “Ho neni nàxe nam?”
17 Wasesithi: Mina ngizathumela izinyane lembuzi elivela emhlanjini. Wasesithi: Uzanginika isibambiso uze ulithumele yini?
Yuda do ŋugbe nɛ be, “Maɖo gbɔ̃vi aɖe ɖe wò tso nye lãwo dome.” Tamar biae be, “Nu ka nàtsɔ ade awɔba, ale be maka ɖe edzi be àɖo gbɔ̃vi la ɖem?”
18 Wasesithi: Sibambiso bani engizakunika sona? Wasesithi: Indandatho elophawu lwakho, lentambo yakho, lodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho. Wasemupha, wangena kuye; wasethatha isisu sakhe.
Yuda biae be, “Enyo, awɔbanu kae nèhiã?” Tamar ɖo eŋu be, “Tsɔ wò ŋkɔsigɛ si nètsɔna dea dzesi wò nuwo kple wò atizɔti nam.” Ale Yuda tsɔ wo nɛ. Tamar lɔ̃ Yuda dɔ egbɔ, eye wòfɔ fu.
19 Wasesukuma wahamba, wakhulula isimbombozo sakhe, wafaka izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe.
Le esia megbe la, Tamar gade asi eƒe ahovɔ la tata me abe tsã ene.
20 UJuda wasethumela izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somngane wakhe umAdulamu ukuze athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazana; kodwa kamtholanga.
Yuda gblɔ na exɔlɔ̃ Hira, Adulamtɔ la be wòalé gbɔ̃vi la ayi na Tamar, eye wòaxɔ awɔbanuawo vɛ, ke Hira mete ŋu ke ɖe Tamar ŋu o.
21 Wasebuza amadoda endawo yakowesifazana esithi: Lingaphi iwule elaliseEnayima endleleni? Asesithi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.
Hira bia dua me ŋutsuwo be, “Afi ka gbolo si nɔa ŋutsuwo dim le mɔ to le Enaim dua ƒe agbonu la le?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Gbolo aɖeke menɔ afi sia kpɔ o.”
22 Wasebuyela kuJuda wathi: Kangilitholanga, futhi lamadoda endawo athi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.
Ale wòtrɔ va Yuda gbɔ, gblɔ nɛ be yemete ŋu ke ɖe eŋu o, eye wògblɔ nya si dua me ŋutsuwo gblɔ nɛ la na Yuda.
23 UJuda wasesithi: Kalizithathele, hlezi sideleleke; khangela, ngithumele lelizinyane, kodwa wena kawumtholanga.
Yuda gblɔ be, “Ekema awɔbanuawo netsi egbɔ faa! Míedze agbagba ale si míate ŋui. Ne míegale eyome tim kokoko la, dua me tɔwo ako mí. Meɖo gbɔ̃tsu la ɖee, ke mèkpɔe o.”
24 Kwasekusithi phose emva kwenyanga ezintathu kwaziswa kuJuda ukuthi: UTamari umalokazana wakhe ufebile, futhi khangela-ke, ulesisu sokufetshwa. UJuda wasesithi: Mkhupheni atshiswe.
Le ɣleti etɔ̃ megbe la, woɖo du ɖe Yuda be toyɔvia Tamar fɔ fu le gbolowɔwɔ ta. Yuda do ɣli be, “Mihee vɛ, eye miatɔ dzoe!”
25 Esekhutshiwe, yena wathumela kuyisezala, esithi: Ngoniwe yindoda engumnini walezizinto. Wathi futhi: Ake uhlolisise ukuthi ngezikabani lezizinto, indandatho elophawu lezintambo lodondolo.
Ke esi wohee yina wuwu ge la, eɖo du ɖe toa be, “Ame si tɔ ŋkɔsigɛ kple eŋuti ka kple atizɔti sia nye la, eya tututue nye ɖevi si dzi ge megbɔna la fofo. Ènya nane tso ŋkɔsigɛ kple atizɔti sia ŋua?”
26 UJuda wasezivuma wathi: Ulungile kulami, ngakho njengoba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Njalo kabanga esamazi futhi.
Yuda lɔ̃ be ye tɔwoe, eye wògblɔ be, “Etɔ dzɔ, elabena megbe be nyemawɔ ŋugbedodo dzi atsɔe na vinye, Sela wòaɖe o.” Tso ema dzi la, megadɔ kplii kpɔ o.
27 Kwasekusithi esikhathini sokubeletha kwakhe, khangela-ke, amaphahla ayesesiswini sakhe.
Eƒe vidziɣi ɖo, eye wòdzi evenɔvi siwo nye ŋutsuviwo.
28 Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe, elinye lakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wasithatha, wabopha intambo ebomvu esandleni salo, esithi: Lo uzaphuma kuqala.
Esi wònɔ ɖeviawo dzim la, vixela la sa ka dzĩ aɖe ɖe ɖevi si do gbɔna gbã la ƒe alɔnu,
29 Kodwa kwathi lifinyeza isandla salo, khangela-ke umfowabo waphuma; wasesithi: Ufohle njani? Ukufohla kakube phezu kwakho. Wasemutha ibizo lakhe uPerezi.
ke ɖevi la he asi ɖe megbe yi dadaa ƒe dɔ me, eye wodzi ɖevi evelia gbã. Vixela la bia be, “Nu ka ta nèdo ŋgɔ na nɔviwòa ɖo?” Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woyɔa ɖevi sia be Perez si gɔmee nye “Ŋgɔdodo.”
30 Emva kwalokhu kwasekuphuma umfowabo owayelentambo ebomvu esandleni sakhe; wasemutha ibizo lakhe uZera.
Eteƒe medidi hafi wodzi ɖevi si ƒe alɔnu ka dzĩ la le la o. Wona ŋkɔe be Zera.
