Uumama 38

1 Yeroo kanatti Yihuudaan obboloota isaa biraa deemee namicha Adulaam kan Hiiraam jedhamu tokko bira jiraachuuf gad buʼe.

And at that time Iudah went downe from his brethren, and turned in to a man called Hirah an Adullamite.

2 Achittis Yihuudaan intala namicha Kanaʼaan kan Shuuwaan jedhamu tokkoo arge; innis ishee fuudhee ishee bira gaʼe;

And Iudah sawe there the daughter of a man called Suah a Canaanite: and he tooke her to wife, and went in vnto her.

3 isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaan isaas Eer jedhame.

So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er.

4 Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaa isaas Oonaan jettee moggaafte.

And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan.

5 Ammas ittuma dabaltee ulfooftee ilma biraa deessee maqaa isaa Sheelaa jettee moggaafte. Isheenis Kiziibitti isa deesse.

Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him.

6 Yihuudaanis Eer ilma isaa hangafticha niitii fuusise; maqaan ishee Taamaar jedhama ture.

Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.

7 Garuu Eer ilmi Yihuudaa hangaftichi sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isa ajjeese.

Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.

8 Yihuudaanis Oonaaniin, “Obboleessa keetiif sanyii dhaabuuf jedhiitii niitii obboleessa keetii bira gaʼiitii dirqama waarsummaa keetii isheef guuti” jedhe.

Then Iudah said to Onan, Goe in vnto thy brothers wife, and do the office of a kinsman vnto her, and raise vp seede vnto thy brother.

9 Oonaan garuu akka ijoolleen dhalattu sun kan isaa hin taane beeke; kanaafuu akka obboleessa isaatiif sanyii hin dhaabneef jedhee yeroo niitii obboleessa isaa bira gaʼu hunda afeetaa lafatti dhangalaasa ture.

And Onan knewe that the seede should not be his: therefore when he went in vnto his brothers wife, he spilled it on the grounde, least he should giue seede vnto his brother.

10 Wanni inni hojjete sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isas ni ajjeese.

And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.

11 Ergasii Yihuudaan niitii ilma isaa Taamaariin, “Hamma ilmi koo Sheelaa guddatutti haadha hiyyeessaa taʼiitii mana abbaa keetii jiraadhu” jedhe. Inni, “Mucaan kunis akkuma obboloota isaa duʼaa laata” jedhee yaadee tureetii. Kanaafuu Taamaar mana abbaa ishee jiraachuu dhaqxe.

Then said Iudah to Tamar his daughter in lawe, Remaine a widowe in thy fathers house, till Shelah my sonne growe vp (for he thought thus, Least he die as well as his brethren.) So Tamar went and dwelt in her fathers house.

12 Bara dheeraa booddees intalli Shuuwaa niitiin Yihuudaa duute. Yihuudaanis gadda isaa irraa bayyanannaan gara Tiimnaahitti lafa warra hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuraniitti ol baʼe; michuun isaa Hiiraam namichi Adulaam isa wajjin deeme.

And in processe of time also the daughter of Shuah Iudahs wife dyed. Then Iudah, when he had left mourning, went vp to his sheepe sherers to Timnah, he, and his neighbour Hirah the Adullamite.

13 Taamaaris, “Kunoo abbaan dhirsa keetii hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruuf jedhee Tiimnaahitti ol baʼaa jira” jedhanii yeroo itti himanitti,

And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe.

14 wayyaa haadha hiyyeessaa of irraa baaftee of dhoksuuf haguuggii haguuggatte; ergasiis balbala Enaayimitti ol galchu kan daandii Tiimnaahitti geessu irra jiru dura teesse. Sheelaa guddatu iyyuu isheen akka niitummaadhaan isaaf hin kennamin beektee turteetii.

Then she put her widowes garments off from her, and couered her with a vaile, and wrapped her selfe, and sate downe in Pethah-enaim, which is by the way to Timnah, because she sawe that Shelah was growen, and she was not giuen vnto him to wife.

15 Yihuudaan yommuu ishee argetti sababii isheen fuula ishee haguuggattee turteef sagaagaltuu ishee seʼe.

When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face.

16 Innis utuu akka isheen niitii ilma isaa taate hin beekin karaa cina iddoo isheen jirtu ishee bira dhaqee, “Mee kottu si wajjin nan ciisaa” jedheen. Isheenis, “Ati na wajjin ciisuuf maal naa kennita?” jettee isa gaafatte.

And he turned to the way towardes her, and saide, Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee. (for he knewe not that she was his daughter in lawe) And she answered, What wilt thou giue me for to lie with me?

17 Inni immoo, “Ani bushaayee koo keessaa ilmoo reʼee tokko siifin erga” jedheen. Isheenis, “Hamma ilmoo sana naa ergitutti waan biraa qabsiisa naa kennitaa?” jetteen.

Then said he, I will sende thee a kid of the goates from the flocke. and she said, Well, if thou wilt giue me a pledge, till thou sende it.

18 Innis, “Ani qabsiisa maalin siif kenna?” jedheen. Isheenis deebiftee, “Chaappaa kee hidhaa isaa wajjin, ulee qabattee deemtus naa kenni” jetteen. Innis wantoota kanneen kenneefii ishee wajjin ciise; isheenis ni ulfoofte.

Then he saide, What is the pledge that I shall giue thee? And she answered, Thy signet, and thy cloke, and thy staffe that is in thine hande. So he gaue it her, and lay by her, and she was with childe by him.

19 Erga achii deemtee booddee haguuggii ishee of irraa baaftee wayyaa dhirsi ishee irraa duunaan uffattee turte sana deebiftee uffatte.

Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment.

20 Yihuudaan waan qabsiisa kenne dubartii sana irraa deebifachuuf jedhee karaa michuu isaa namicha Adulaam sanaatiin ilmoo reʼee ergeef; namichi garuu ishee hin argine.

Afterwarde Iudah sent a kid of the goates by the hande of his neighbour the Adullamite, for to receiue his pledge from the womans hand: but he found her not.

21 Namichis, “Sagaagaltuun Enaayim bira, daandii irra taaʼaa turte sun eessa jirti?” jedhee warra achi jiraatan gaafate. Jarri immoo deebisanii, “Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre” jedhan.

Then asked he the men of that place, saying, Where is ye whore, that sate in Enaim by the way side? And they answered, There was no whore here.

22 Innis gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼee, “Ani dubartittii arguu hin dandeenye. Akkasumas warri iddoo sana jiraatan, ‘Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre’ jedhan” jedheen.

He came therefore to Iudah againe, and said, I can not finde her, and also the men of the place said, There was no whore there.

23 Yihuudaanis, “Isheen waan qabatte sana haa hambifattu; yoo kanaa achii nu waan kolfaa taanaa. Kunoo ani ilmoo reʼee kana isheef ergeera; ati garuu ishee dhabde” jedhe.

Then Iudah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: beholde, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

24 Gara jiʼa sadii booddee, “Taamaar niitiin ilma keetii sagaagaltuu taateerti; kanaanis isheen amma ulfoofteerti” jedhanii Yihuudaatti himan. Yihuudaan immoo, “Gadi baasaatii ibiddaan gubaa ishee ajjeesaa!” jedhe.

Now after three moneths, one tolde Iudah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the whore, and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with childe. Then Iudah saide, Bring ye her foorth and let her be burnt.

25 Isheenis utuma gad baafamaa jirtuu, “Ani abbaa miʼa kanaa irraa ulfaaʼeera” jettee abbaa dhirsa isheetti ergaa ergite. Akkasumas, “Chaappaa fi kirriin isaa, uleen kunis kan eenyuu akka taʼe mee ilaalii addaan baafadhu” jetteen.

When she was brought foorth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, vnto whom these things pertaine, am I with childe: and saide also, Looke, I pray thee, whose these are, the seale, and the cloke, and the staffe.

26 Yihuudaanis miʼa kana beekee, “Sababii ani ilma koo Sheelaatti ishee hin heerumsiisiniif, isheen na caalaa qajeeltuu dha” jedhe. Innis deebiʼee ishee bira hin geenye.

Then Iudah knewe them, and said, She is more righteous then I: for she hath done it because I gaue her not to Shelah my sonne. So he lay with her no more.

27 Yommuu yeroon daʼumsa ishee gaʼetti, kunoo, ilmaan lakkuutu gadameessa ishee keessa ture.

Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe.

28 Utuu isheen daʼumsa irra jirtuu inni tokko harka isaa gad baafate; deessiftuunis qabdee, “Isa kanatu dura lafa gaʼe” jettee kirrii diimaa harka isaatti hiite.

And when she was in trauell, the one put out his hand: and the midwife tooke and bound a red threde about his hand, saying, This is come out first.

29 Akkuma inni harka isaa ol deebifateen kunoo obboleessi isaa dhalate; deessiftuunis, “Ati akkamiin ofuma keetiin cabsitee baate?” jette. Maqaan isaas Faares jedhame.

But when he plucked his hand backe againe, loe, his brother came out, and the midwife said, How hast thou broken the breach vpon thee? and his name was called Pharez.

30 Obboleessi isaa kan kirrii diimaa harka irraa qabu sunis ni dhalate; innis Zaaraa jedhamee moggaafame.

And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.
