1 Mojzes 38
1 Pripetilo se je ob tistem času, da je Juda šel dol od svojih bratov in vstopil k nekemu Adulámcu, katerega ime je bilo Hirá.
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 Juda je tam videl hčer nekega Kánaanca, katerega ime je bilo Šua in vzel jo je ter šel noter k njej.
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her.
3 Ta je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenoval Er.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
4 Ponovno je spočela ter rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Onán.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
5 Spet je spočela in rodila sina in njegovo ime je imenovala Šelá. Bil je pri Kezíbu, ko ga je rodila.
And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6 Juda je vzel ženo za svojega prvorojenca Era, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara.
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Judov prvorojenec Er pa je bil zloben v Gospodovih očeh in Gospod ga je usmrtil.
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
8 Juda je rekel Onánu: »Pojdi noter k ženi svojega brata in jo poroči ter svojemu bratu obudi potomca.«
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 Onán pa je vedel, da potomec ne bo njegov in pripetilo se je, ko je šel noter k ženi svojega brata, da je to izlil na tla, da svojemu bratu ne bi dal potomca.
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 he should give seed to his brother.
10 Stvar, ki jo je storil, je razžalila Gospoda, zaradi česar je tudi njega usmrtil.
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD: and he slew him also.
11 Potem je Juda rekel svoji snahi Tamari: »Ostani vdova, v hiši svojega očeta, dokler moj sin Šelá ne odraste, « kajti rekel je: »Da ne bi morda tudi on umrl, kakor sta njegova brata.« Tamara je odšla in prebivala v hiši svojega očeta.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown up: for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 Tekom časa je Šuova hči, Judova žena, umrla in Juda je bil potolažen in se dvignil k svojim strižcem ovc v Timno, on in njegov prijatelj Adulámec Hirá.
And in process of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 To je bilo povedano Tamari, rekoč: »Glej, tvoj tast gre v Timno, da ostriže svoje ovce.«
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father in law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
14 Iz sebe je odložila svoje vdovske obleke, se pokrila z zagrinjalom, se ogrnila in sedla na odprt kraj, ki je na poti v Timno, kajti videla je, da je Šelá odrastel, pa mu ni bila dana za ženo.
And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 Ko jo je Juda zagledal, je mislil, da je pocestnica, ker je imela svoj obraz zakrit.
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; for she had covered her face.
16 Na poti se je obrnil k njej in rekel: »Daj, prosim te, naj pridem noter vate, « (kajti ni vedel, da je bila njegova snaha.) Ona pa je rekla: »Kaj mi hočeš dati, da lahko prideš vame?«
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 Rekel je: »Poslal ti bom kozlička od tropa.« Rekla je: »Ali mi boš dal jamstvo, dokler ga ne pošlješ?«
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
18 Rekel je: »Kakšno jamstvo naj ti dam?« Rekla je: »Svoj pečat in svoje okrasne vrvice in svojo palico, ki je v tvoji roki.« To ji je dal in prišel noter vanjo in ta je spočela z njim.
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
19 Vstala je ter odšla proč in poleg sebe položila svoje zagrinjalo iz sebe in si nadela obleke svojega vdovstva.
And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Juda je poslal kozlička po roki svojega prijatelja Adulámca, da prejme svoje jamstvo iz roke ženske, toda ta je ni našel.
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
21 Potem je vprašal ljudi tega kraja, rekoč: »Kje je pocestnica, ki je bila javno poleg poti?« Rekli so: »Na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«
Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the way side? And they said, There hath been no harlot here.
22 Vrnil se je k Judu in rekel: »Ne morem je najti in tudi ljudje tega kraja so rekli, da na tem kraju ni bilo nobene pocestnice.«
And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no harlot here.
23 Juda je rekel: »Naj si ona to vzame k sebi, da ne bova osramočena. Glej, poslal sem tega kozlička, ti pa je nisi našel.«
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 Pripetilo se je približno tri mesece kasneje, da je bilo Judu povedano, rekoč: »Tvoja snaha Tamara je igrala pocestnico in prav tako poglej, ona je z otrokom od vlačugarstva.« Juda je rekel: »Privedite jo naprej in naj bo sežgana.«
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 moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
25 Ko je bila privedena naprej, je poslala k svojemu tastu, rekoč: »Po moškem, čigar [last] je to, sem z otrokom.« Rekla je: »Razpoznaj, prosim te, čigav je ta pečat, okrasne vrvice in palica.«
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 the cords, and the staff.
26 Juda jim je priznal in rekel: »Bolj pravična je bila kakor jaz, zato ker je nisem dal svojemu sinu Šeláju.« In ni je več ponovno spoznal.
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
27 Pripetilo pa se je v času njenih porodnih muk, glej, da sta bila v njeni maternici dvojčka.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
28 Ko je bila v porodnih mukah se je pripetilo, da je eden iztegnil svojo roko in babica je prijela ter na njegovo roko privezala škrlatno nit, rekoč: »Ta je prvi prišel ven.«
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
29 Pripetilo pa se je, ko je svojo roko potegnil nazaj, glej, je prišel ven njegov brat. Rekla je: »Kako si izbruhnil? Ta prodor bodi na tebi.« Zato je bilo njegovo ime imenovano Parec.
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? therefore his name was called Perez.
30 Nato je prišel ven njegov brat, ki je imel na svoji roki škrlatno nit in njegovo ime je bilo imenovano Zerah.
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah.
