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 |
At that time, Judah left his older and younger brothers and went down from the hilly area and stayed with a man whose name was Hiram, who lived in Adullam [town].
| در آنجا او دختر مردی کنعانی به نام شوعا را به زنی گرفت | 2 |
There he (met/became acquainted with) a woman who was the daughter of a man from Canaan named Shua. He married her. He had sex [EUP] with her,
| و از او صاحب پسری شد که او را عیر نامید. | 3 |
and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
| شوعا بار دیگر حامله شد و پسری زایید و او را اونان نام نهاد. | 4 |
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
| وقتی آنها در کزیب بودند، زن یهودا پسر سوم خود را به دنیا آورد و او را شیله نامید. | 5 |
Many years later, when Judah and his family went to live in Kezib [town], Judah’s wife gave birth to another son, whom she named Shelah.
| وقتی عیر، پسر ارشد یهودا، بزرگ شد پدرش دختری را به نام تامار برای او به زنی گرفت. | 6 |
When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
| اما چون عیر شخص شروری بود، خداوند او را کُشت. | 7 |
But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
| 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, “Your older brother died without having any sons. So marry his widow and have sex [EUP] with her. That is what our customs require that you should do.”
| 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 Onan knew if he did that, any children who would be born would not be considered to be his. So every time he had sex [EUP] with his brother’s widow, he spilled his semen on the ground, so that she would not get pregnant and produce children for his older brother.
| این کار اونان در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد و خدا او را نیز کشت. | 10 |
Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die 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 |
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, [he can marry you].” But Judah [really did not want Shelah to marry her, because] he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar [obeyed Judah and] went back to live in her father’s house again.
| 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 |
Several years later, Judah’s wife, who was the daughter of Shua, died. When the time of mourning for her was finished, Judah decided to go up to Timnah, to the place where his (men were shearing his sheep/sheep were being sheared) His friend Hiram, from Adullam, went with him.
| به تامار خبر دادند که پدر شوهرش برای چیدنِ پشمِ گوسفندان به طرف تمنه حرکت کرده است. | 13 |
Someone said to Tamar, “Your father-in-law is going to [the fields near the city of] Timnah to help the men who are shearing 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 |
[She realized that now Shelah was grown up, but Judah had not given her to him to be his wife. So] she took off her widow’s clothes, and covered her head with a veil, so that people would not (recognize her/know who she was). Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim [town], which is on the road to Timnah.
| یهودا او را دید، ولی چون او روی خود را پوشانیده بود، او را نشناخت و پنداشت زن بدکاره‌ای است. | 15 |
When Judah came along and saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, because she had covered her head [like prostitutes often did] (OR, [and sat where prostitutes often sat)].
| 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 |
Judah did not realize that she was his daughter-in-law. So he said to her, “Hey, let me have sex [EUP] with you!” She replied, “What will you give me for allowing you to have sex [EUP] with 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 |
He replied, “I will send you a young goat from my flock of goats.” She asked, “Will you give me something now for me to keep until you send the goat?”
| 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 |
He replied, “What do you want me to give to you?” She replied, “Give me the ring that has your name on it that is tied by a cord around your neck, and give me the walking stick that you are holding in your hand.” So he gave them to her. Then he had sex [EUP] with her, and she became pregnant.
| پس از این واقعه، تامار به خانه بازگشت و روبند خود را برداشت و دوباره لباس بیوِگی خود را پوشید. | 19 |
After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
| 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 |
Judah gave a young goat to his friend from Adullam, for him to take back to the woman, as he had promised. But his friend could not find the woman.
| 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 |
So he asked the men who lived there, “Where is the prostitute who was sitting by the road at Enaim?” They replied, “There has never been a 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 |
So he went back to Judah and said, “I did not find her. [Furthermore], the men who live in that town said, ‘There has never been a prostitute 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 |
Judah said, “She can keep the things that I gave to her. If we continued to search for her, people would ridicule us. I tried to send this young goat to her, but you could not find her to give it to 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 |
About three months later, someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and now she is pregnant!” Judah said, “Drag her outside of the city and kill her by burning her!”
| 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 |
But as they were taking her outside of the city, she gave the ring and walking stick to someone, and told him to take them to Judah, and say to him, “The man who owns these things is the one who caused me to become pregnant.” She also said to tell him, “Look at this ring, and the cord that is attached to it, and this walking stick. Whose are they?”
| 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 |
When the man did that, Judah recognized the ring and the stick. He said, “She is more righteous than I am. I did not tell my son Shelah to marry her, as I promised that I would.” And Judah did not have sex [EUP] with her again.
| چون وقت وضع حمل تامار رسید، دوقلو زایید. | 27 |
When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys 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 |
As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand. So the midwife fastened a scarlet thread around his wrist, saying, “This one 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 |
But he pulled his hand back inside the womb, and his brother came out first. So she said, “So this is how you break your way out first!” So she named him Perez, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘breaking out].’
| اندکی بعد، پسری که نخ قرمز به دستش بسته شده بود متولد شد و او را زارح نامیدند. | 30 |
Then his younger brother, the one who had the scarlet thread around his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘redness of dawn].’
