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 Shuah; 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 conceived, and 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 firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
7 Ali Ir prvenac Judin bješe nevaljao pred Gospodom, i ubi ga Gospod.
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yhwh; And Yhwh 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 marry 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 should 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 that 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 displeased Yhwh: wherefore 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 at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. 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 the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, 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 Timnath 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 her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, 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 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 an harlot; because 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, Go to, 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 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 bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it 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 laid by her vail 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 by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his 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 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 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 cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
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 shamed: 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 also, 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 bracelets, and 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 hath been more righteous than I; because that 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 the one put out his 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, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
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 Zarah.
