Bilowgii 38
1 Oo waagaas waxay noqotay inuu Yahuudah ka tegey walaalihiis, oo wuxuu u leexday nin magiciisa la odhan jiray Xiirah oo reer Cadullaam ah.
About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
2 Markaasaa Yahuudah wuxuu halkaas ku arkay nin reer Kancaan ah oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Shuuca gabadhiisii. Kolkaasuu kaxaystay iyadii oo uu u tegey.
There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
3 Wayna uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Ceer.
So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
4 Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil; magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Oonaan.
Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5 Oo weliba haddana wiil kalay dhashay, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Sheelaah; oo isna wuxuu joogay Kesiib, markay dhashay isaga.
Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
6 Markaasaa Yahuudah naag u guuriyey curadkiisii ahaa Ceer, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Taamaar.
Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Yahuudah curadkiisii ahaa Ceer waa ku xumaa Rabbiga hortiisa; Rabbiguna waa dilay isagii.
But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
8 Markaasaa Yahuudah wuxuu ku yidhi Oonaan, Naagta walaalkaa u tag oo dumaal, oo ku samee wixii ninkeeda walaalkiis ku samayn lahaa, oo farcan u reeb walaalkaa.
Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”
9 Oonaanna wuu ogaa inaan farcanku kiisii noqonayn, oo markuu u tegey naagtii walaalkiis ayuu shahwadiisii ku daadiyey dhulka, si uusan farcan u siin walaalkiis.
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10 Wixii uu sameeyeyna Rabbiga hortiisa aad buu ugu xumaa; oo markaasuu isagiina dilay.
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
11 Markaasuu Yahuudah ku yidhi gabadhii Taamaar oo uu soddogga u ahaa, Carmalnimo ku joog guriga aabbahaa, ilaa uu wiilkayga Sheelaah koro; waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo uu isna dhintaa sidii walaalihiis. Kolkaasay Taamaar tagtay oo gurigii aabbeheed joogtay.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
12 Wakhti dheer ka dib waxaa dhimatay Shuuca gabadhiisii oo ahayd naagtii Yahuudah. Markaasaa Yahuudah loo tacsiyeeyey, oo wuxuu tegey xagga kuwii idihiisa dhogorta ka xiiri jiray oo joogay Timnaad, isaga iyo saaxiibkiis Xiirah kii reer Cadullaamba.
After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
13 Markaasaa Taamaar loo sheegay, oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, soddoggaa wuxuu tegayaa xagga Timnaad inuu idihiisii dhogorta ka soo xiirto.
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
14 Markaasay iska dhigtay dharkii carmalinimadeeda, oo waxay hagoogatay indhashareerteedii, oo intay isdedday ayay waxay fadhiisatay iriddii Cenayim, oo ku ag tiil jidka loo maro Timnaad, waayo, waxay aragtay inuu Sheelaah weynaaday, oo aan loo guurin iyada.
she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
15 Markii Yahuudah arkay ayuu u maleeyey inay dhillo tahay; maxaa yeelay, wejigeeday qarisay.
When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
16 Kolkaasuu ku soo leexday iyadoo jidka ag fadhida, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, kaalay aan kuu tagee; waayo, ma uu ogayn inay tahay gabadhii uu soddogga u ahaa. Kolkaasay waxay ku tidhi, Maxaad i siinaysaa aad ii tagtide?
Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
17 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan adhiga kaaga soo diri doonaa waxar. Iyana waxay tidhi, Rahaamad ma i siinaysaa intaad ii soo diraysid?
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
18 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaan rahaamad kuu siiyaa? Kolkaasay tidhi, I sii kaatunkaaga iyo xadhiggaaga, iyo ushaada aad gacanta ku haysatid. Kolkaasuu siiyey, oo uu u tegey iyadii, oo iyana xaggiisay ka uuraysatay.
“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 Kolkaasay kacday oo tagtay, oo intay indhashareerteedii iska dhigtay, ayay xidhatay dharkii carmalinimadeedii.
Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
20 Markaasaa Yahuudah waxar adhiga ka soo diray oo wuxuu ugu soo dhiibay gacanta saaxiibkiis kii reer Cadullaam, inuu rahaamaddii ka soo qaado gacantii naagta, laakiinse iyadii wuu waayay.
Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
21 Markaasuu weyddiiyey dadkii degganaa meesheedii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Meeday dhilladii joogi jirtay Cenayim jidka dhinaciisa? Kolkaasay iyana ku yidhaahdeen, Halkan dhillo ma joogi jirin.
He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.
22 Markaasuu ku noqday Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyadii waan waayay, dadkii meeshaa degganaana waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Halkan dhillo ma joogi jirin.
So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”
23 Markaasaa Yahuudah yidhi, Ha iska qaadato, waaba intaasoo aynu ku ceebownaaye; waayo, bal eeg, anigu waxaan u diray waxarkan, waana aad soo weyday iyadii.
“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”
24 Oo waxay noqotay in muddo saddex bilood ku dhow dabadeed Yahuudah war loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Gabadhii Taamaar oo aad soddogga u ahayd waa dhillowday; oo dhillanimadeedii bay ku uuraysatay. Markaasaa Yahuudah yidhi, Soo bixiya oo ha la gubo.
About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”
25 Kolkaasay markii la soo bixiyey farriin u dirtay soddoggeed, oo waxay tidhi, Ninka alaabtan leh ayaa i uureeyey; oo waxay kaloo tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, bal hubso ninka leh kuwan ah kaatunka iyo xadhkaha, iyo usha.
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”
26 Markaasaa Yahuudah qirtay iyagii, oo wuxuu yidhi, Iyadu way iga xaqsan tahay, waayo, waxaan iyada siin waayay wiilkayga Sheelaah ah. Mar dambena uma uu tegin iyadii.
Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.
27 Oo bal eeg, markii ay foolatay mataano baa ku jiray maxalkeeda.
When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
28 Oo waxay noqotay, in markii ay foolatay uu midkood gacan soo bixiyey; markaasay umulisadii qaadatay dun guduudan oo ay gacantiisii ku xidhay, oo waxay tidhi, Kanaa soo hor baxay.
And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.
29 Oo waxay noqotay, markuu gacanta dib u ceshaday, inuu walaalkiis soo baxay; oo iyana waxay tidhi, De maxaad u soo dustay? Sidaas daraaddeed magiciisii waxaa loo bixiyey Feres.
But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
30 Dabadeedna waxaa soo baxay walaalkiis, kii ay dunta guduudanu gacanta ugu xidhnayd; magiciisiina waxaa loo bixiyey Serax.
Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
