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.
At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.
2 И онде виде Јуда кћер неког Хананејца, коме име беше Сава, и узе је и леже с њом;
And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.
3 И она затрудне и роди сина, коме надеде име Ир.
And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.
4 И опет затрудневши роди сина, коме надеде име Авнан.
And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.
5 И опет роди сина, и надеде му име Силом; а Јуда беше у Хасви кад она тога роди.
She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
6 И Јуда ожени првенца свог Ира девојком по имену Тамара.
And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Али Ир првенац Јудин беше неваљао пред Господом, и уби га Господ.
And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.
8 А Јуда рече Авнану: Уђи к жени брата свог и ожени се њом на име братово, да подигнеш семе брату свом.
Juda, therefore said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise 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.
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
10 Али Господу не би мило што чињаше, те уби и њега.
And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.
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.
Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt in her father’s house.
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 after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.
13 И јавише Тамари говорећи: Ето свекар твој иде у Тамну да стриже овце своје.
And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas 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 she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.
15 А Јуда када виде, помисли да је курва, јер беше покрила лице своје.
When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.
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 going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?
17 А он рече: Послаћу ти јаре из стада. А она рече: Али да ми даш залог докле га не пошаљеш.
He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,
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.
Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.
19 После уставши Тамара отиде и скиде покривало са себе и обуче удовичко рухо.
And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, 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 Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her,
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.
Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place,
22 И врати се к Јуди и рече: Не нађох је, него још рекоше мештани: Није овде било курве.
He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.
23 А Јуда рече: Нека јој, да се не срамотимо; ја сам слао јаре, али је ти не нађе.
Juda said: Let her take it to herself; surely she cannot charge us with a, lie: I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find 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 behold after three months they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may 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.
But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.
26 А Јуда позна и рече: Правија је од мене, јер је не дадох сину свом Силому. И више не леже с њом.
But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However, he knew her no more.
27 А кад дође време да роди, а то близанци у утроби њеној.
And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying:
28 И кад се порађаше, једно дете помоли руку, а бабица узе и веза му црвен конац око руке говорећи: Овај је први.
This shall come forth the 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.
But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares.
30 А после изађе брат му, коме око руке беше црвени конац, и надеше му име Зара.
Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
