Бытие 38
1 Бысть же в то время, отиде Иуда от братии своея и прииде к человеку некоему Одолламитину, емуже имя Ирас:
At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.
2 и виде тамо Иуда дщерь человека Хананейска, ейже имя Сава: и поят ю, и вниде к ней:
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 заченши роди сына, и нарече имя ему Ир:
And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.
4 и заченши еще роди сына и нарече имя ему Авнан:
And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.
5 и приложивши роди сына (третияго) и нарече имя Силом: сия же бе в Хасве, егда роди сих.
She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
6 И поя Иуда жену Иру первенцу своему, ейже имя Фамарь.
And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Бысть же Ир первенец Иудин зол пред Господем: и уби его Бог.
And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.
8 Рече же Иуда Авнану: вниди к жене брата твоего и совокупися с нею, и возстави семя брату твоему.
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 Познав же Авнан, яко не ему будет семя, бысть егда вхождаше к жене брата своего, проливаше (семя) на землю, еже не дати семене брату своему:
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 зло же явися пред Богом, яко сотвори сие: и умертви и сего.
And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.
11 Рече же Иуда Фамари, невестце своей (по смерти дву сынов своих): седи вдовою в дому отца твоего, дондеже велик будет Силом, сын мой. Рече бо (во уме си): да не когда умрет и сей, якоже и братия его. Отшедши же Фамарь, седяше в дому отца своего.
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 Умножишася же дние, и умре Сава жена Иудина. И утешився Иуда, взыде к стригущым овцы его сам, и Ирас пастырь его Одолламитин, во Фамну.
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 возвестиша Фамари невестце его, глаголюще: се, свекор твой восходит во Фамну стрищи овцы своя.
And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.
14 Она же свергши ризы вдовства с себе, облечеся в ризу летнюю и украсися, и седе пред враты Енани, яже суть на пути Фамны: ведяше бо, яко велик бысть Силом: сей же не даде ея ему в жену.
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 И видев ю Иуда, возмне ю блудницу быти: покры бо лице свое, и не позна ея.
When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.
16 Уклонися же к ней путем и рече ей: попусти ми внити к себе. Не позна бо, яко невестка ему есть. Она же рече: что ми даси, аще внидеши ко мне?
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 Он же рече: аз тебе послю козлище коз от овец моих. Она же рече: аще даси ми залог, дондеже пришлеши.
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 Он же рече: кий залог тебе дам? Она же рече: перстень твой и гривну, и жезл иже в руце твоей. И даде ей, и вниде к ней, и зача во утробе от него.
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 И воставши отиде, и сверже ризу летнюю с себе и облечеся в ризы вдовства своего.
And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Посла же Иуда козлище от коз рукою пастыря своего Одолламитина взяти залог от жены, и не обрете ея.
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 Вопроси же мужей места того и рече им: где есть блудница бывшая во Енане на распутии? И реша: не бе зде блудница.
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 возвратися ко Иуде и рече: не обретох: и человецы места того глаголют: несть зде блудницы.
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 Рече же Иуда: да имать та: но да не когда посмеются нам: аз убо послах козлище сие, ты же не обрел еси.
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 Бысть же по трех месяцех, поведаша Иуде, глаголюще: соблуди Фамарь невестка твоя, и се, во утробе имать от блуда. Рече же Иуда: изведите ю, и да сожгут ю.
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 Она же ведома посла к свекру своему, глаголющи: от человека, егоже сия суть, аз во утробе имам. И рече: познай, чий перстень и гривна и жезл сей.
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 Позна же Иуда и рече: оправдася Фамарь паче мене, яко не дах ея Силому сыну моему. И не приложи ктому познати ю.
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 Бысть же егда раждаше, и беста близнята во утробе ея.
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 Бысть же в рождении ея, един произнесе руку: вземши же баба навяза на руку его червлень, глаголющи: сей изыдет первый.
This shall come forth the first.
29 Егда же вовлече руку, и абие изыде брат его. Она же рече: что пресечеся тебе ради преграждение? И прозва имя ему 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 И посем изыде брат его, емуже бе на руце его червлень: и прозва имя ему Зара.
Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
