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.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down away from his brethren, —and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was 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 Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose, name, was Shua, —and he took her, and went in unto her;

3 Wayna uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Ceer.

and she conceived and bare a son, —and he called his name Er.

4 Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay oo waxay dhashay wiil; magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Oonaan.

And she conceived again and bare a son, —and she called his name Onan.

5 Oo weliba haddana wiil kalay dhashay, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Sheelaah; oo isna wuxuu joogay Kesiib, markay dhashay isaga.

And she, yet again, bare a son, and called his name Shelah, —and she, was at Chezib, when she bare him.

6 Markaasaa Yahuudah naag u guuriyey curadkiisii ahaa Ceer, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Taamaar.

And Judah took 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.

And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —so Yahweh 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 said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law unto her, —and raise up seed, to thy 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.

And Onan knew that the seed would not be his, —and so although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.

10 Wixii uu sameeyeyna Rabbiga hortiisa aad buu ugu xumaa; oo markaasuu isagiina dilay.

And it was displeasing, in the eyes of Yahweh what he had done, —so he put, him also, to death,

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 said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law—Remain a widow in the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.

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.

And when the days were multiplied, then died Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, —and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.

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 told Tamar saying, —Lo! thy father-in-law is going up towards Timnah, to the shearing of 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.

So she put off from her the garments of her widowhood and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself up, and sat down in the entrance of, Enaim, which is by the way towards Timnah, —for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she, had not been given him to wife.

15 Markii Yahuudah arkay ayuu u maleeyey inay dhillo tahay; maxaa yeelay, wejigeeday qarisay.

And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, —for 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?

So he turned aside unto her. by the way, and said Grant it! 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, if thou shouldst come in unto me?

17 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan adhiga kaaga soo diri doonaa waxar. Iyana waxay tidhi, Rahaamad ma i siinaysaa intaad ii soo diraysid?

And he said, I, will send a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give a pledge until thou 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.

And he said—What is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said—Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So he gave them to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.

19 Kolkaasay kacday oo tagtay, oo intay indhashareerteedii iska dhigtay, ayay xidhatay dharkii carmalinimadeedii.

Then she arose and went her way, and put off her veil from her, —and put on 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.

And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge at the hand of the woman, —but he found her not.

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.

So he asked the men of her place saying. Where is the devotee, she that was in Enaim, by the way? And they said, —There hath been here no devotee.

22 Markaasuu ku noqday Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyadii waan waayay, dadkii meeshaa degganaana waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Halkan dhillo ma joogi jirin.

Then returned he unto Judah, and said—I found her not, —moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee.

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.

And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, —lo! I sent this kid, and, thou, hast not found 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 it came to pass that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying—Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.

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.

When, she, was about to be brought forth, then, she herself, sent unto her father-in-law saying, By the man to whom these belong, have I, conceived! And she said—Examine, I pray thee, to whom belong the signet-ring, and the guard, and the staff—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.

So Judah examined them and said—More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

27 Oo bal eeg, markii ay foolatay mataano baa ku jiray maxalkeeda.

And, it came to pass at the time of her travail, that lo! twins, were 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 it came to pass when she was in travail, that one put forth a hand, —so the midwife took and bound upon his hand a crimson thread, saying—This came 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.

And so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.

30 Dabadeedna waxaa soo baxay walaalkiis, kii ay dunta guduudanu gacanta ugu xidhnayd; magiciisiina waxaa loo bixiyey Serax.

And afterwards, came his brother, on whose hand was the crimson thread, —so his name was called, Zerah.
