Gênesis 38

1 E aconteceu no mesmo tempo que Judah desceu de entre seus irmãos, e entrou na casa d'um varão de Adullam, cujo nome era Hirah,

Now at that time, Judah went away from his brothers and became the friend of a man of Adullam named Hirah.

2 E viu Judah ali a filha d'um varão cananeu, cujo nome era Shuah; e tomou-a, e entrou a ella.

And there he saw the daughter of a certain man of Canaan named Shua, and took her as his wife.

3 E ella concebeu, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Er;

And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er.

4 E tornou a conceber, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Onan;

And again she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Onan.

5 E continuou ainda, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Selah; e elle estava em Chezib, quando ella o pariu.

Then she had another son, to whom she gave the name Shelah; she was at Chezib when the birth took place.

6 Judah pois tomou uma mulher para Er, o seu primogenito, e o seu nome era Tamar.

And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.

7 Er, porém, o primogenito de Judah, era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que o Senhor o matou.

Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.

8 Então disse Judah a Onan: Entra á mulher do teu irmão, e casa-te com ella, e suscita semente a teu irmão.

Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother.

9 Onan, porém, soube que esta semente não havia de ser para elle; e aconteceu que, quando entrava á mulher de seu irmão, derramava-a na terra, para não dar semente a seu irmão.

But Onan, seeing that the offspring would not be his, went in to his brother's wife, but let his seed go on to the earth, so that he might not get offspring for his brother.

10 E o que fazia era mau aos olhos do Senhor, pelo que tambem o matou.

And what he did was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death, like his brother.

11 Então disse Judah a Tamar sua nóra: Fica-te viuva na casa de teu pae, até que Selah, meu filho, seja grande. Porquanto disse: Para que porventura não morra tambem este, como seus irmãos. Assim foi-se Tamar, e ficou-se na casa de seu pae.

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

12 Passando-se pois muitos dias, morreu a filha de Shuah, mulher de Judah; e depois se consolou Judah, e subiu aos tosquiadores das suas ovelhas em Timnah, elle e Hirah seu amigo, o adullamita.

And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.

13 E deram aviso a Tamar, dizendo: Eis que o teu sogro sobe a Timnah, a tosquiar as suas ovelhas.

And when Tamar had news that her father-in-law was going up to Timnah to the wool-cutting,

14 Então ella tirou de sobre si os vestidos da sua viuvez, e cobriu-se com o véu, e envolveu-se, e assentou-se á entrada das duas fontes que estão no caminho de Timnah, porque via que Selah já era grande, e ella lhe não fôra dada por mulher

She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.

15 E vendo-a Judah, teve-a por uma prostituta; porque ella tinha coberto o seu rosto.

When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

16 E apartou-se a ella ao caminho, e disse: Vem, peço-te, deixa-me entrar a ti. Porquanto não sabia que era sua nóra: e ella disse: Que darás, para que entres a mim

And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?

17 E elle disse: Eu te enviarei um cabrito do rebanho. E ella disse: Dás-me penhor até que o envies?

And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

18 Então elle disse: Que penhor é que te darei? E ella disse: O teu sello, e o teu lenço, e o cajado que está em tua mão. O que elle lhe deu, e entrou a ella, e ella concebeu d'elle.

And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.

19 E ella levantou-se, e foi-se, e tirou de sobre si o seu véu, e vestiu os vestidos da sua viuvez.

Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing.

20 E Judah enviou o cabrito por mão do seu amigo o adullamita, para tomar o penhor da mão da mulher, porém não a achou.

Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.

21 E perguntou aos homens d'aquelle logar, dizendo: Onde está a prostituta que estava no caminho junto ás duas fontes? E disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta alguma.

And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.

22 E tornou-se a Judah, e disse: Não a achei; e tambem disseram os homens d'aquelle logar: Aqui não esteve prostituta.

So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.

23 Então disse Judah: Tome-o para si, para que porventura não venhamos em desprezo; eis que tenho enviado este cabrito; mas tu não a achaste.

And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.

24 E aconteceu que, quasi tres mezes depois, deram aviso a Judah, dizendo: Tamar, tua nóra, tem fornicado, e eis que está pejada da fornicação. Então disse Judah: Tirae-a fóra para que seja queimada.

Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

25 E tirando-a fóra, ella mandou dizer a seu sogro: Do varão de quem são estas coisas eu concebi. E ella disse mais: Conhece, peço-te, de quem é este sello, e estes lenços e este cajado.

And while she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, The man whose property these things are, is the father of my child: say then, whose are this ring and this cord and this stick?

26 E conheceu-os Judah, e disse: Mais justa é ella do que eu. porquanto não a tenho dado a Selah meu filho. E nunca mais a conheceu.

Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

27 E aconteceu ao tempo de parir, eis que havia gemeos em seu ventre;

And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.

28 E aconteceu que, parindo ella, que um poz fóra a mão, e a parteira tomou-a, e atou em sua mão um fio de grã, dizendo: Este saiu primeiro.

And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

29 Mas aconteceu que, tornando elle a recolher a sua mão, eis que saiu o seu irmão, e ella disse: Como tu tens rompido? sobre ti é a rotura. E chamaram o seu nome Perez;

But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.

30 E depois saiu o seu irmão, em cuja mão estava o fio de grã; e chamaram o seu nome Zerah.

And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.
