Mwanzo 38
1 Wakati ule, Yuda akawaacha ndugu zake, akaenda kuishi na Hira Mwadulami.
and to be in/on/with time [the] he/she/it and to go down Judah from with brother: male-sibling his and to stretch till man Adullamite and name his Hirah
2 Huko Yuda akakutana na binti wa Kikanaani aitwaye Shua, akamwoa na akakutana naye kimwili,
and to see: see there Judah daughter man Canaanite and name his Shua and to take: marry her and to come (in): come to(wards) her
3 akapata mimba, akamzaa mwana, ambaye alimwita Eri.
and to conceive and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Er
4 Akapata mimba tena, akamzaa mwana na kumwita Onani.
and to conceive still and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Onan
5 Akamzaa mwana mwingine tena, akamwita Shela. Huyu alimzalia mahali paitwapo Kezibu.
and to add: again still and to beget son: child and to call: call by [obj] name his Shelah and to be in/on/with Chezib in/on/with to beget she [obj] him
6 Yuda akampatia Eri, mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, mke aitwaye Tamari.
and to take: take Judah woman: wife to/for Er firstborn his and name her Tamar
7 Lakini Eri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Yuda, alikuwa mwovu machoni pa Bwana, kwa hiyo Bwana akamuua.
and to be Er firstborn Judah bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to die him LORD
8 Kisha Yuda akamwambia Onani, “Kutana kimwili na mke wa ndugu yako, na utimize wajibu wako kwake kama mke wa ndugu yako, ili umpatie ndugu yako uzao.”
and to say Judah to/for Onan to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling your and be brother-in-law [obj] her and to arise: establish seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling your
9 Lakini Onani alijua kwamba uzao haungekuwa wake, kwa hiyo kila alipokutana kimwili na mke wa ndugu yake, alimwaga chini mbegu za kiume ili asimpatie ndugu yake uzao.
and to know Onan for not to/for him to be [the] seed: children and to be if to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling his and to ruin land: soil [to] to/for lest to give: give seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling his
10 Alichofanya kilikuwa kiovu machoni pa Bwana, hivyo, pia Bwana akamuua Onani.
and be evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD which to make: do and to die also [obj] him
11 Kisha Yuda akamwambia Tamari mkwewe, “Ishi kama mjane nyumbani mwa baba yako mpaka mwanangu Shela atakapokua.” Kwa maana alifikiri, “Angeweza kufa pia kama ndugu zake.” Kwa hiyo Tamari alikwenda kuishi nyumbani kwa baba yake.
and to say Judah to/for Tamar daughter-in-law his to dwell widow house: household father your till to magnify Shelah son: child my for to say lest to die also he/she/it like/as brother: male-sibling his and to go: went Tamar and to dwell house: household father her
12 Baada ya muda mrefu mke wa Yuda binti wa Shua akafariki. Baada ya msiba, Yuda alikwenda Timna, kwa watu waliokuwa wakikata kondoo wake manyoya, naye alifuatana na rafiki yake Hira Mwadulami.
and to multiply [the] day and to die daughter Shua woman: wife Judah and to be sorry: comfort Judah and to ascend: rise upon to shear flock his he/she/it and Hirah neighbor his [the] Adullamite Timnah [to]
13 Tamari alipoambiwa, “Baba mkwe wako yuko njiani kwenda Timna kukata kondoo wake manyoya,”
and to tell to/for Tamar to/for to say behold father-in-law your to ascend: rise Timnah [to] to/for to shear flock his
14 alivua mavazi yake ya ujane, akajifunika kwa shela ili asifahamike, akaketi kwenye mlango wa Enaimu, ambao upo njiani kuelekea Timna. Akafanya hivyo kwa sababu aliona kwamba, ingawa Shela amekua, lakini alikuwa hajakabidhiwa kwake kuwa mkewe.
and to turn aside: remove garment widowhood her from upon her and to cover in/on/with shawl and to enwrap and to dwell in/on/with entrance Enaim which upon way: road Timnah [to] for to see: see for to magnify Shelah and he/she/it not to give: give(marriage) to/for him to/for woman: wife
15 Yuda alipomwona alifikiri ni kahaba, kwa sababu alikuwa amefunika uso wake.
and to see: see her Judah and to devise: think her to/for to fornicate for to cover face her
16 Pasipo kutambua kwamba alikuwa mkwe wake, akamwendea kando ya njia na kumwambia, “Njoo sasa, nikutane na wewe kimwili.” Yule mkwewe akamuuliza, “Utanipa nini nikikutana nawe kimwili?”
and to stretch to(wards) her to(wards) [the] way: road and to say to give [emph?] please to come (in): come to(wards) you for not to know for daughter-in-law his he/she/it and to say what? to give: give to/for me for to come (in): come to(wards) me
17 Akamwambia, “Nitakutumia mwana-mbuzi kutoka kundi langu.” Akamuuliza, “Utanipa kitu chochote kama amana mpaka utakapompeleka?”
and to say I to send: depart kid goat from [the] flock and to say if to give: give pledge till to send: depart you
18 Akamuuliza, “Nikupe amana gani?” Akamjibu, “Pete yako na kamba yake pamoja na fimbo iliyo mkononi mwako.” Kwa hiyo akampa vitu hivyo kisha akakutana naye kimwili, naye akapata mimba yake.
and to say what? [the] pledge which to give: give to/for you and to say signet your and cord your and tribe: rod your which in/on/with hand your and to give: give to/for her and to come (in): come to(wards) her and to conceive to/for him
19 Tamari akaondoka, akavua shela yake akavaa tena nguo zake za ujane.
and to arise: rise and to go: went and to turn aside: remove shawl her from upon her and to clothe garment widowhood her
20 Wakati ule ule, Yuda akamtuma rafiki yake Mwadulami apeleke yule mwana-mbuzi ili arudishiwe amana yake kutoka kwa yule mwanamke, lakini yule rafiki yake hakumkuta yule mwanamke.
and to send: depart Judah [obj] kid [the] goat in/on/with hand neighbor his [the] Adullamite to/for to take: take [the] pledge from hand [the] woman and not to find her
21 Akawauliza watu wanaoishi mahali pale, “Yuko wapi yule kahaba wa mahali pa kuabudia miungu aliyekuwa kando ya barabara hapa Enaimu?” Wakamjibu, “Hajawahi kuwepo mwanamke yeyote kahaba wa mahali pa kuabudia miungu hapa.”
and to ask [obj] human place her to/for to say where? [the] cult prostitute he/she/it in/on/with Enaim upon [the] way: road and to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute
22 Kwa hiyo akamrudia Yuda na kumwambia, “Sikumpata. Zaidi ya hayo, watu wanaoishi mahali pale walisema ‘Hapakuwahi kuwepo mwanamke yeyote kahaba wa mahali pa kuabudia miungu hapa.’”
and to return: return to(wards) Judah and to say not to find her and also human [the] place to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute
23 Kisha Yuda akasema, “Mwache avichukue vitu hivyo, ama sivyo tutakuwa kichekesho. Hata hivyo, nilimpelekea mwana-mbuzi, lakini hukumkuta.”
and to say Judah to take: take to/for her lest to be to/for contempt behold to send: depart [the] kid [the] this and you(m. s.) not to find her
24 Baada ya miezi mitatu Yuda akaambiwa, “Tamari mkweo ana hatia ya kuwa kahaba, na matokeo yake ana mimba.” Yuda akasema, “Mtoeni nje na achomwe moto hadi afe!”
and to be like/as from three month and to tell to/for Judah to/for to say to fornicate Tamar daughter-in-law your and also behold pregnant to/for fornication and to say Judah to come out: send her and to burn
25 Alipokuwa akitolewa nje, akatuma ujumbe kwa baba mkwe wake kusema, “Nina mimba ya mtu mwenye vitu hivi.” Akaongeza kusema, “Angalia kama utatambua kwamba pete hii na kamba yake pamoja na fimbo hii ni vya nani.”
he/she/it to come out: send and he/she/it to send: depart to(wards) father-in-law her to/for to say to/for man which these to/for him I pregnant and to say to recognize please to/for who? [the] ring and [the] cord and [the] tribe: rod [the] these
26 Yuda akavitambua na kusema, “Yeye ana haki kuliko mimi, kwa kuwa sikumkabidhi kwa mwanangu Shela ili awe mkewe.” Tangu hapo hakukutana naye kimwili tena.
and to recognize Judah and to say to justify from me for as that: since as as not to give: give her to/for Shelah son: child my and not to add: again still to/for to know her
27 Wakati ulipofika wa kujifungua, kukawa na wana mapacha tumboni mwake.
and to be in/on/with time to beget she and behold twin in/on/with belly: womb her
28 Alipokuwa akijifungua, mmoja akatoa mkono wake nje, kwa hiyo mkunga akachukua uzi mwekundu na kuufunga mkononi mwa yule mtoto, akasema, “Huyu ametoka kwanza.”
and to be in/on/with to beget she and to give: put hand and to take: take [the] to beget and to conspire upon hand his scarlet to/for to say this to come out: produce first
29 Lakini alipourudisha mkono wake ndugu yake akaanza kutoka, naye akasema, “Hivi ndivyo ulivyotoka kwa nguvu!” Akaitwa Peresi.
and to be like/as to return: return hand his and behold to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his and to say what? to break through upon you breach and to call: call by name his Perez
30 Kisha ndugu yake, aliyekuwa na uzi mwekundu mkononi, akatoka, naye akaitwa Zera.
and after to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his which upon hand his [the] scarlet and to call: call by name his Zerah
