< پیدایش 38 >
در همان روزها بود که یهودا خانهٔ پدر خود را ترک نموده، به عدولام رفت و نزد شخصی به نام حیره ساکن شد. | 1 |
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
در آنجا او دختر مردی کنعانی به نام شوعا را به زنی گرفت | 2 |
And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
و از او صاحب پسری شد که او را عیر نامید. | 3 |
And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
شوعا بار دیگر حامله شد و پسری زایید و او را اونان نام نهاد. | 4 |
And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
وقتی آنها در کزیب بودند، زن یهودا پسر سوم خود را به دنیا آورد و او را شیله نامید. | 5 |
And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
وقتی عیر، پسر ارشد یهودا، بزرگ شد پدرش دختری را به نام تامار برای او به زنی گرفت. | 6 |
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
اما چون عیر شخص شروری بود، خداوند او را کُشت. | 7 |
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
آنگاه یهودا به اونان برادر عیر گفت: «مطابق رسم ما، تو باید با زن برادرت تامار ازدواج کنی تا نسل برادرت از بین نرود.» | 8 |
Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.
اونان با تامار ازدواج کرد، اما چون نمیخواست فرزندش از آنِ کس دیگری باشد، هر وقت با او نزدیکی میکرد، جلوگیری نموده، نمیگذاشت تامار بچهای داشته باشد که از آنِ برادر مردهاش شود. | 9 |
But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
این کار اونان در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد و خدا او را نیز کشت. | 10 |
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
یهودا به عروس خود تامار گفت: «به خانهٔ پدرت برو و بیوه بمان تا وقتی که پسر کوچکم شیله بزرگ شود. آن وقت میتوانی با او ازدواج کنی.» (ولی یهودا قلباً راضی به این کار نبود، چون میترسید شیله نیز مثل دو برادر دیگرش بمیرد.) پس تامار به خانۀ پدرش رفت. | 11 |
And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
پس از مدتی، زن یهودا مُرد. وقتی که روزهای سوگواری سپری شد، یهودا با دوستش حیرهٔ عدولامی برای نظارت بر پشمچینی گوسفندان به تمنه رفت. | 12 |
And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
به تامار خبر دادند که پدر شوهرش برای چیدنِ پشمِ گوسفندان به طرف تمنه حرکت کرده است. | 13 |
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
تامار لباس بیوگی خود را از تن درآورد و برای این که شناخته نشود چادری بر سر انداخته، دم دروازهٔ عینایم سر راه تمنه نشست، زیرا او دید که هر چند شیله بزرگ شده ولی او را به عقد وی در نیاوردهاند. | 14 |
And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
یهودا او را دید، ولی چون او روی خود را پوشانیده بود، او را نشناخت و پنداشت زن بدکارهای است. | 15 |
And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
پس به کنار جاده به طرف او رفته، به او پیشنهاد کرد که با وی همبستر شود، غافل از این که عروس خودش میباشد. تامار به او گفت: «چقدر میخواهی به من بدهی؟» | 16 |
And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?
یهودا گفت: «بزغالهای از گلهام برایت خواهم فرستاد.» زن گفت: «برای این که مطمئن شوم که بزغاله را میفرستی باید چیزی نزد من گرو بگذاری.» | 17 |
And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?
یهودا گفت: «چه چیزی را گرو بگذارم؟» زن جواب داد: «مُهر و بند آن و عصایت را.» پس یهودا آنها را به او داد و با وی همبستر شد و در نتیجه تامار آبستن گردید. | 18 |
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.
پس از این واقعه، تامار به خانه بازگشت و روبند خود را برداشت و دوباره لباس بیوِگی خود را پوشید. | 19 |
And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
یهودا بزغاله را به دوستش حیرهٔ عدولامی سپرد تا آن را برای آن زن ببرد و اشیاء گرویی را پس بگیرد، اما حیره آن زن را نیافت. | 20 |
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
پس، از مردم آنجا پرسید: «آن روسپی بتکده که دمِ دروازه، سر راه نشسته بود کجاست؟» به او جواب دادند: «ما هرگز چنین زنی در اینجا ندیدهایم.» | 21 |
And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.
حیره نزد یهودا بازگشت و به او گفت: «او را نیافتم و مردمان آنجا هم میگویند چنین زنی را در آنجا ندیدهاند.» | 22 |
And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.
یهودا گفت: «بگذار آن اشیاء مال او باشد، مبادا رسوا شویم. به هر حال من بزغاله را برای او فرستادم، ولی تو نتوانستی او را پیدا کنی.» | 23 |
Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
حدود سه ماه بعد از این واقعه، به یهودا خبر دادند که عروسش تامار زنا کرده و حامله است. یهودا گفت: «او را بیرون آورید و بسوزانید.» | 24 |
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
در حالی که تامار را بیرون میآوردند تا او را بکشند این پیغام را برای پدر شوهرش فرستاد: «مردی که صاحب این مُهر و بند آن و عصا میباشد، پدر بچهٔ من است، آیا او را میشناسی؟» | 25 |
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
یهودا مُهر و عصا را شناخت و گفت: «او تقصیری ندارد، زیرا من به قول خود وفا نکردم و او را برای پسرم شیله نگرفتم.» یهودا دیگر با او همبستر نشد. | 26 |
And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
چون وقت وضع حمل تامار رسید، دوقلو زایید. | 27 |
And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
در موقع زایمان، یکی از پسرها دستش را بیرون آورد و قابله نخ قرمزی به مچ دست او بست و گفت: «این اول بیرون آمد.» | 28 |
And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
اما او دست خود را عقب کشید و پسر دیگر، اول به دنیا آمد. قابله گفت: «چگونه بیرون آمدی؟» پس او را فارص نامیدند. | 29 |
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! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
اندکی بعد، پسری که نخ قرمز به دستش بسته شده بود متولد شد و او را زارح نامیدند. | 30 |
And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
