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 the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.
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.
And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.
3 Wayna uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Ceer.
And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.
4 Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil; magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Oonaan.
And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.
5 Oo weliba haddana wiil kalay dhashay, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Sheelaah; oo isna wuxuu joogay Kesiib, markay dhashay isaga.
Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
6 Markaasaa Yahuudah naag u guuriyey curadkiisii ahaa Ceer, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Taamaar.
Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
7 Yahuudah curadkiisii ahaa Ceer waa ku xumaa Rabbiga hortiisa; Rabbiguna waa dilay isagii.
And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.
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.
Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to 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.
He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
10 Wixii uu sameeyeyna Rabbiga hortiisa aad buu ugu xumaa; oo markaasuu isagiina dilay.
And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.
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.
Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived 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.
Then, after many days had passed, the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. And when he accepted consolation after his mourning, he went up to the shearers of his sheep at Timnah, he and Hirah, the herdsman of the Adullamite flock.
13 Markaasaa Taamaar loo sheegay, oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, soddoggaa wuxuu tegayaa xagga Timnaad inuu idihiisii dhogorta ka soo xiirto.
And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the 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.
And storing away the garments of her widowhood, she took up a veil. And changing her clothing, she sat at the crossroad that leads to Timnah, because Shelah had grown up, and she had not received him as a husband.
15 Markii Yahuudah arkay ayuu u maleeyey inay dhillo tahay; maxaa yeelay, wejigeeday qarisay.
And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.
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?
And entering to her, he said, “Permit me to join with you.” For he did not know her to be his daughter-in-law. And she responded, “What will you give to me, to enjoy me as a concubine?”
17 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan adhiga kaaga soo diri doonaa waxar. Iyana waxay tidhi, Rahaamad ma i siinaysaa intaad ii soo diraysid?
He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And again, she said, “I will allow what you want, if you give me a pledge, until you may send what you promise.”
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.
Judah said, “What do you want to be given for a pledge?” She responded, “Your ring and bracelet, and the staff that you hold in your hand.” Thereupon, the woman, from one sexual encounter, conceived.
19 Kolkaasay kacday oo tagtay, oo intay indhashareerteedii iska dhigtay, ayay xidhatay dharkii carmalinimadeedii.
And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.
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.
Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found 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 questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”
22 Markaasuu ku noqday Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyadii waan waayay, dadkii meeshaa degganaana waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Halkan dhillo ma joogi jirin.
He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”
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.
Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did 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.
And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”
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.
But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”
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.
But he, acknowledging the gifts, said: “She is more just than I am. For I did not deliver her to my son Shelah.” However, he knew her no more.
27 Oo bal eeg, markii ay foolatay mataano baa ku jiray maxalkeeda.
Then, at the moment of birth, there appeared twins in the womb. And so, in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, on which the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying,
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.
“This one will go out first.”
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 in truth, drawing back his hand, the other came out. And the woman said, “Why is the partition divided for you?” And for this reason, she called his name Perez.
30 Dabadeedna waxaa soo baxay walaalkiis, kii ay dunta guduudanu gacanta ugu xidhnayd; magiciisiina waxaa loo bixiyey Serax.
After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.
