< 1 Мојсијева 38 >
1 А у то време догоди се, те Јуда отиде од браће своје и уврати се код неког Одоламејца, коме име беше Ирас.
And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 И онде виде Јуда кћер неког Хананејца, коме име беше Сава, и узе је и леже с њом;
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 И она затрудне и роди сина, коме надеде име Ир.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 И опет затрудневши роди сина, коме надеде име Авнан.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 И опет роди сина, и надеде му име Силом; а Јуда беше у Хасви кад она тога роди.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 И Јуда ожени првенца свог Ира девојком по имену Тамара.
And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
7 Али Ир првенац Јудин беше неваљао пред Господом, и уби га Господ.
And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 А Јуда рече Авнану: Уђи к жени брата свог и ожени се њом на име братово, да подигнеш семе брату свом.
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 А Авнан, знајући да неће бити његов пород, кад леже са женом брата свог просипаше на земљу, да не роди деце брату свом.
And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
10 Али Господу не би мило што чињаше, те уби и њега.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
11 И Јуда рече Тамари снаси својој: Остани удовицом у кући оца свог докле одрасте Силом син мој. Јер говораше: Да не умре и он као браћа му. И отиде Тамара, и живеше у кући оца свог.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
12 А кад прође много времена, умре кћи Савина, жена Јудина. И кад се Јуда утеши, пође у Тамну к људима што му стрижаху овце, сам с Ирасом пријатељем својим Одоламејцем.
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
13 И јавише Тамари говорећи: Ето свекар твој иде у Тамну да стриже овце своје.
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 А она скиде са себе удовичко рухо своје, и узе покривало и покри лице, и седе на раскршће на путу који иде у Тамну. Јер виде да је Силом одрастао, а њу још не удаше за њ.
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
15 А Јуда када виде, помисли да је курва, јер беше покрила лице своје.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 Па сврну с пута к њој и рече јој: Пусти да легнем с тобом. Јер није познао да му је снаха. А она рече: Шта ћеш ми дати да легнеш са мном?
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
17 А он рече: Послаћу ти јаре из стада. А она рече: Али да ми даш залог докле га не пошаљеш.
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
18 А он рече: Какав залог да ти дам? А она рече: Ето, прстен и рубац, и штап што ти је у руци. И он јој даде, те леже с њом, и она затрудне од њега.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 После уставши Тамара отиде и скиде покривало са себе и обуче удовичко рухо.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 А Јуда посла јаре по пријатељу свом Одоламејцу да му донесе натраг од жене залог. Али је он не нађе.
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
21 Па питаше људе по оном месту где је она била говорећи: Где је она курва што је била на раскршћу на овом путу? А они рекоше: Није овде било курве.
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 И врати се к Јуди и рече: Не нађох је, него још рекоше мештани: Није овде било курве.
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
23 А Јуда рече: Нека јој, да се не срамотимо; ја сам слао јаре, али је ти не нађе.
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
24 А кад прође до три месеца дана, јавише Јуди говорећи: Тамара снаха твоја учини прељубу, и ево затрудне од прељубе. А Јуда рече: Изведите је да се спали.
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
25 А кад је поведоше, посла к свекру свом и поручи: С човеком чије је ово затруднела сам. И рече: Тражи чији је овај прстен и рубац и штап.
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
26 А Јуда позна и рече: Правија је од мене, јер је не дадох сину свом Силому. И више не леже с њом.
And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
27 А кад дође време да роди, а то близанци у утроби њеној.
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 И кад се порађаше, једно дете помоли руку, а бабица узе и веза му црвен конац око руке говорећи: Овај је први.
And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
29 Али он увуче руку, и гле изађе брат његов, а она рече: Како продре? Продирање нека ти буде. И надеше му име Фарес.
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
30 А после изађе брат му, коме око руке беше црвени конац, и надеше му име Зара.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
