< Postanak 38 >
1 A u to vrijeme dogodi se, te Juda otide od braæe svoje i uvrati se kod nekoga Odolamejca, kojemu ime bješe Iras.
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 I ondje vidje Juda kæer nekoga Hananejca, kojemu ime bješe Sava, i uze je i leže s njom;
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her.
3 I ona zatrudnje i rodi sina, kojemu nadjede ime Ir.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
4 I opet zatrudnjevši rodi sina, kojemu nadjede ime Avnan.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
5 I opet rodi sina, i nadjede mu ime Silom; a Juda bijaše u Hasvi kad ona toga rodi.
And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6 I Juda oženi prvenca svojega Ira djevojkom po imenu Tamarom.
And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
7 Ali Ir prvenac Judin bješe nevaljao pred Gospodom, i ubi ga Gospod.
And Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah slew him.
8 A Juda reèe Avnanu: uði k ženi brata svojega i oženi se njom na ime bratovo, da podigneš sjeme bratu svojemu.
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 A Avnan znajuæi da neæe biti njegov porod, kad lijegaše sa ženom brata svojega prosipaše na zemlju, da ne rodi djece bratu svojemu.
And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10 Ali Gospodu ne bi milo što èinjaše, te ubi i njega.
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and he slew him also.
11 I Juda reèe Tamari snasi svojoj: ostani udovicom u kuæi oca svojega dokle odraste Silom sin moj. Jer govoraše: da ne umre i on kao braæa mu. I otide Tamara, i življaše u kuæi oca svojega.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown up; for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 A kad proðe mnogo vremena, umrije kæi Savina, žena Judina. I kad se Juda utješi, poðe u Tamnu k ljudima što mu strizijahu ovce, sam s Irasom prijateljem svojim Odolamejcem.
And in process of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 I javiše Tamari govoreæi: eto svekar tvoj ide u Tamnu da striže ovce svoje.
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
14 A ona skide sa sebe udovièko ruho svoje, i uze pokrivalo i pokri lice, i sjede na raskršæe na putu koji ide u Tamnu. Jer vidje da je Silom odrastao a nju još ne udaše za nj.
And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 A Juda kad je vidje, pomisli da je kurva, jer bješe pokrila lice svoje.
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she had covered her face.
16 Pa svrnu s puta k njoj i reèe joj: pusti da legnem s tobom. Jer nije poznao da mu je snaha. A ona reèe: šta æeš mi dati da legneš sa mnom?
And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto 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 unto me?
17 A on reèe: poslaæu ti jare iz stada. A ona mu reèe: ali da mi daš zalog dokle ga ne pošlješ.
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
18 A on reèe: kakav zalog da ti dam? A ona reèe: eto, prsten i rubac, i štap što ti je u ruci. I on joj dade, te leže s njom, i ona zatrudnje od njega.
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
19 Poslije ustavši Tamara otide i skide pokrivalo sa sebe i obuèe udovièko ruho.
And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 A Juda posla jare po prijatelju svom Odolamejcu da mu donese natrag od žene zalog. Ali je on ne naðe.
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.
21 Pa pitaše ljude po onom mjestu gdje je ona bila govoreæi: gdje je ona kurva što je bila na raskršæu na ovom putu? A oni rekoše: nije ovdje bilo kurve.
Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There hath been no prostitute here.
22 I vrati se k Judi i reèe: ne naðoh je, nego još rekoše mještani: nije ovdje bilo kurve.
And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no prostitute here.
23 A Juda reèe: neka joj, da se ne sramotimo; ja sam slao jare, ali je ti ne naðe.
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 A kad proðe do tri mjeseca dana, javiše Judi govoreæi: Tamara snaha tvoja uèini preljubu, i evo zatrudnje od preljube. A Juda reèe: izvedite je da se spali.
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
25 A kad je povedoše, posla k svekru svojemu i poruèi: s èovjekom èije je ovo zatrudnjela sam. I reèe: traži èiji je ovaj prsten i rubac i štap.
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 the cords, and the staff.
26 A Juda pozna i reèe: pravija je od mene, jer je ne dadoh sinu svojemu Silomu. I više ne leže s njom.
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27 A kad doðe vrijeme da rodi, a to blizanci u utrobi njezinoj.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
28 I kad se poraðaše, jedno dijete pomoli ruku, a babica uze i veza mu crven konac oko ruke govoreæi: ovaj je prvi.
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
29 Ali on uvuèe ruku, i gle izaðe brat njegov, a ona reèe: kako prodrije? prodiranje neka ti bude. I nadješe mu ime Fares.
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? therefore his name was called Perez.
30 A poslije izaðe brat mu, kojemu oko ruke bijaše crveni konac, i nadješe mu ime Zara.
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah.
