Uumama 38
1 Yeroo kanatti Yihuudaan obboloota isaa biraa deemee namicha Adulaam kan Hiiraam jedhamu tokko bira jiraachuuf gad buʼe.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 Achittis Yihuudaan intala namicha Kanaʼaan kan Shuuwaan jedhamu tokkoo arge; innis ishee fuudhee ishee bira gaʼe;
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 isheenis ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaan isaas Eer jedhame.
And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
4 Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; maqaa isaas Oonaan jettee moggaafte.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
5 Ammas ittuma dabaltee ulfooftee ilma biraa deessee maqaa isaa Sheelaa jettee moggaafte. Isheenis Kiziibitti isa deesse.
And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
6 Yihuudaanis Eer ilma isaa hangafticha niitii fuusise; maqaan ishee Taamaar jedhama ture.
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
7 Garuu Eer ilmi Yihuudaa hangaftichi sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isa ajjeese.
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
8 Yihuudaanis Oonaaniin, “Obboleessa keetiif sanyii dhaabuuf jedhiitii niitii obboleessa keetii bira gaʼiitii dirqama waarsummaa keetii isheef guuti” jedhe.
And Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to 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 knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he wasted it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10 Wanni inni hojjete sun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hamaa ture; kanaafuu Waaqayyo isas ni ajjeese.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: therefore he slew 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 Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son shall be grown: for he said, Lest perhaps he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s 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 process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend 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 told to Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
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.
And she put off from her, her widow’s garments, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
15 Yihuudaan yommuu ishee argetti sababii isheen fuula ishee haguuggattee turteef sagaagaltuu ishee seʼe.
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered 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 her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me come in to thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to 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.
And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou sendest 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.
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Erga achii deemtee booddee haguuggii ishee of irraa baaftee wayyaa dhirsi ishee irraa duunaan uffattee turte sana deebiftee uffatte.
And she arose, and went her way, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Yihuudaan waan qabsiisa kenne dubartii sana irraa deebifachuuf jedhee karaa michuu isaa namicha Adulaam sanaatiin ilmoo reʼee ergeef; namichi garuu ishee hin argine.
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s 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 he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
22 Innis gara Yihuudaatti deebiʼee, “Ani dubartittii arguu hin dandeenye. Akkasumas warri iddoo sana jiraatan, ‘Sagaagaltuun tokko iyyuu as hin turre’ jedhan” jedheen.
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
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.
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, 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.
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told to Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by harlotry. And Judah said, Bring her forth, 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 forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
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.
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27 Yommuu yeroon daʼumsa ishee gaʼetti, kunoo, ilmaan lakkuutu gadameessa ishee keessa ture.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
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 it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came 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.
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
30 Obboleessi isaa kan kirrii diimaa harka irraa qabu sunis ni dhalate; innis Zaaraa jedhamee moggaafame.
And afterwards came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
