< UGenesisi 38 >

1 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uJuda wehla esuka kubafowabo, waphambukela endodeni yeAdulamu, obizo layo linguHira.
Mago zupa Juda'a afuhe'ina nezamatreno Adulami kumate ne' Hira'e nehaza ne'ene umani'ne.
2 UJuda wasebona lapho indodakazi yendoda umKhanani, obizo lakhe linguShuwa; wayithatha wangena kuyo.
Juda'a anantega Kenani ne' Sua'e nehaza ne'mofo mofa keteno, a' erino anteno mase'ne.
3 Yasithatha isisu, yazala indodana; waseyitha ibizo layo uEri.
Ana higeno amu'ene huno ne' kasentegeno, agra Eri'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
4 Yasiphinda ithatha isisu, yazala indodana; yayitha ibizo layo uOnani.
Anante mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno, Onani'e huno agi'a ante'ne.
5 Yasisengezelela futhi yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo layo uShela; kodwa wayeseKezibi ekuyizaleni kwayo.
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 wasemthathela uEri izibulo lakhe umfazi, njalo ibizo lakhe linguTamari.
Hanki Juda'a agonesa ne'mofavre'a Erina mago a' avre ami'ne. Ana a'mofo agi'a Tema'e.
7 Kodwa uEri, izibulo likaJuda, wayemubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasimbulala.
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 kuOnani: Ngena kumkamfowenu, wenze kuye imfanelo yomfowabo wendoda, umvusele umfowenu inzalo.
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 UOnani wayesazi-ke ukuthi inzalo kayiyikuba ngeyakhe. Kwasekusithi lapho engena kumkamfowabo, wayichithela emhlabathini, ukuze angamniki umfowabo inzalo.
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 Kwasekusiba kubi emehlweni eNkosi lokho akwenzayo; ngakho yambulala laye.
E'inama agra hiazanku Ra Anumzamo'a musena osuno, ahe fri'ne.
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.
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 Emva kwensuku ezinengi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa, umkaJuda. UJuda eseziduduzile, wenyukela kubagundi bezimvu zakhe eThiminathi, yena lomngane wakhe uHira umAdulamu.
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 Kwasekusaziswa kuTamari ukuthi: Khangela, uyihlozala wenyukela eThiminathi ukugunda izimvu zakhe.
Mago'a vahe'mo'za Temana ome asami'za, Konkeno negnofero'a sipisipi'a azoka hareku Timna kumate evu'ne.
14 Wasekhulula izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe, wazimbomboza ngesimbombozo, wazigoqela, wahlala esangweni iEnayima, elisendleleni eya eThiminathi; ngoba wabona ukuthi uShela wayesekhulile, njalo wayengamnikwanga ukuba 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 Lapho uJuda esembonile, wacabanga ukuthi uliwule, ngoba embomboze ubuso bakhe.
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 Wasephambukela kuye endleleni wathi: Woza-ke, ngingene kuwe; ngoba wayengazi ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe. Wasesithi: Uzanginikani ukuze ungene kimi?
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 Wasesithi: Mina ngizathumela izinyane lembuzi elivela emhlanjini. Wasesithi: Uzanginika isibambiso uze ulithumele yini?
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 Wasesithi: Sibambiso bani engizakunika sona? Wasesithi: Indandatho elophawu lwakho, lentambo yakho, lodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho. Wasemupha, wangena kuye; wasethatha isisu sakhe.
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 Wasesukuma wahamba, wakhulula isimbombozo sakhe, wafaka izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe.
Anante otino vuno avugosafi refite'neaza eri netreno, kento kukena omeri hankre'ne.
20 UJuda wasethumela izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somngane wakhe umAdulamu ukuze athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazana; kodwa kamtholanga.
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 Wasebuza amadoda endawo yakowesifazana esithi: Lingaphi iwule elaliseEnayima endleleni? Asesithi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule 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 Wasebuyela kuJuda wathi: Kangilitholanga, futhi lamadoda endawo athi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha.
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: Kalizithathele, hlezi sideleleke; khangela, ngithumele lelizinyane, kodwa wena kawumtholanga.
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 Kwasekusithi phose emva kwenyanga ezintathu kwaziswa kuJuda ukuthi: UTamari umalokazana wakhe ufebile, futhi khangela-ke, ulesisu sokufetshwa. UJuda wasesithi: Mkhupheni atshiswe.
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 Esekhutshiwe, yena wathumela kuyisezala, esithi: Ngoniwe yindoda engumnini walezizinto. Wathi futhi: Ake uhlolisise ukuthi ngezikabani lezizinto, indandatho elophawu lezintambo lodondolo.
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 wasezivuma wathi: Ulungile kulami, ngakho njengoba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Njalo kabanga esamazi futhi.
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 Kwasekusithi esikhathini sokubeletha kwakhe, khangela-ke, amaphahla ayesesiswini sakhe.
Ana a'mo mofavre anteku nehigeno, keana kugave'za rimpafina mani'na'e.
28 Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe, elinye lakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wasithatha, wabopha intambo ebomvu esandleni salo, esithi: Lo uzaphuma 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 kwathi lifinyeza isandla salo, khangela-ke umfowabo waphuma; wasesithi: Ufohle njani? Ukufohla kakube phezu kwakho. Wasemutha ibizo lakhe uPerezi.
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 Emva kwalokhu kwasekuphuma umfowabo owayelentambo ebomvu esandleni sakhe; wasemutha ibizo lakhe uZera.
Hanki amefiga'a nefu osi koranke nofi'ma azante kinte'nemo atiramigeno, agi'a Zela'e huno antemi'ne.
