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 away from his brethren, —and turned aside unto 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 she, 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, —and, her name, was Tamar.
7 Ali Ir prvenac Judin bješe nevaljao pred Gospodom, i ubi ga Gospod.
And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —so Yahweh put him to death,
8 A Juda reèe Avnanu: uði k ženi brata svojega i oženi se njom na ime bratovo, da podigneš sjeme bratu svojemu.
Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law 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 so although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.
10 Ali Gospodu ne bi milo što èinjaše, te ubi i njega.
And it was displeasing, in the eyes of Yahweh what he had done, —so he put, him also, to death,
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 the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.
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 when the days were multiplied, then died Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, —and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.
13 I javiše Tamari govoreæi: eto svekar tvoj ide u Tamnu da striže ovce svoje.
And it was told Tamar saying, —Lo! thy father-in-law is going up towards Timnah, to the shearing of 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.
So she put off from her the garments of her widowhood and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself up, and sat down in the entrance of, Enaim, which is by the way towards Timnah, —for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she, had not been given him to wife.
15 A Juda kad je vidje, pomisli da je kurva, jer bješe pokrila lice svoje.
And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, —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?
So he turned aside unto her. by the way, and said Grant it! 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, if thou shouldst 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 a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give a pledge until 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 is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said—Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So 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.
Then she arose and went her way, 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 at the hand of the woman, —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.
So he asked the men of her place saying. Where is the devotee, she that was in Enaim, by the way? And they said, —There hath been here no devotee.
22 I vrati se k Judi i reèe: ne naðoh je, nego još rekoše mještani: nije ovdje bilo kurve.
Then returned he unto Judah, and said—I found her not, —moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee.
23 A Juda reèe: neka joj, da se ne sramotimo; ja sam slao jare, ali je ti ne naðe.
And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, —lo! 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 that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying—Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, 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 about to be brought forth, then, she herself, sent unto her father-in-law saying, By the man to whom these belong, have I, conceived! And she said—Examine, I pray thee, to whom belong the signet-ring, and the guard, and the staff—these!
26 A Juda pozna i reèe: pravija je od mene, jer je ne dadoh sinu svojemu Silomu. I više ne leže s njom.
So Judah examined them and said—More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her 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 at the time of her travail, that lo! 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 was in travail, that one put forth a hand, —so the midwife took and bound upon his hand a crimson thread, saying—This came 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 so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.
30 A poslije izaðe brat mu, kojemu oko ruke bijaše crveni konac, i nadješe mu ime Zara.
And afterwards, came his brother, on whose hand was the crimson thread, —so his name was called, Zerah.
