Genesis 38

1 At nangyari nang panahong yaon, na humiwalay si Juda sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at nagdaan sa isang Adullamita na ang pangalan ay Hira.

It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 At nakita roon ni Juda ang anak na babae ng isang Cananeo, na tinatawag na Sua; at kinuha niya at kaniyang sinipingan.

There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.

3 At naglihi, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Er.

She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.

4 At naglihi uli, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Onan.

She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

5 At muling naglihi at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Selah: at si Juda ay nasa sa Chezib nang siya'y manganak.

Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.

6 At pinapag-asawa ni Juda si Er na kaniyang panganay, at ang pangalan niyao'y Thamar.

And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7 At si Er, na panganay ni Juda, ay naging masama sa paningin ng Panginoon; at siya'y pinatay ng Panginoon.

Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of YHWH, so God killed him.

8 At sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, Sumiping ka sa asawa ng iyong kapatid, at tuparin mo sa kaniya ang tungkulin ng kapatid ng asawa, at ipagbangon mo ng binhi ang iyong kapatid.

Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother."

9 At nalalaman ni Onan na hindi magiging kaniya ang binhi; at nangyari, na pagka sisiping siya sa asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, ay pinatutulo niya sa lupa, nang huwag lamang niyang bigyan ng binhi ang kaniyang kapatid.

But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

10 At ang bagay na ginawa niya ay masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y pinatay rin naman.

And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.

11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Juda kay Thamar na kaniyang manugang na babae: Manatili kang bao sa bahay ng iyong ama, hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak: sapagka't sinabi niya, Marahil ay hindi siya mamamatay ng gaya ng kaniyang mga kapatid. At yumaon si Thamar at tumahan sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.

Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.

12 At nagdaan ang maraming araw; at namatay ang anak na babae ni Sua, na asawa ni Juda; at nagaliw si Juda, at umahon sa Timnath sa mga manggugupit sa kaniyang mga tupa, siya at ang kaniyang kaibigang si Hira na Adullamita.

After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 At naibalita kay Thamar, na sinasabi, Narito, ang iyong biyanang lalake ay umaahon sa Timnath upang pagupitan ang kaniyang mga tupa.

And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

14 At siya'y nagalis ng suot pagkabao, at nagtakip ng kaniyang lambong, at pagkapagtakip ay naupo sa pasukan ng Enaim, na nasa daan ng Timnath; sapagka't kaniyang nakikita, na si Selah ay malaki na, at hindi pa siya ibinibigay na asawa.

She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

15 Nang makita siya ni Juda ay ipinalagay siyang patutot, sapagka't siya'y nagtakip ng kaniyang mukha.

When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

16 At lumapit sa kaniya, sa tabi ng daan, at sinabi, Narito nga, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na ako'y pasipingin mo sa iyo: sapagka't hindi niya nakilalang kaniyang manugang. At kaniyang sinabi, Anong ibibigay mo sa akin sa iyong pagsiping sa akin?

He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"

17 At kaniyang sinabi, Padadalhan kita ng isang anak ng kambing na mula sa kawan. At kaniyang sinabi, Bibigyan mo ba ako ng sangla hanggang sa maipadala mo?

He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee until you send it?"

18 At kaniyang sinabi, Anong sangla ang ibibigay ko sa iyo? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong singsing, at ang iyong pamigkis, at ang tungkod na dala mo sa kamay. At kaniyang ipinagbibigay sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya; at siya'y naglihi sa pamamagitan niya.

He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

19 At siya'y bumangon, at yumaon, at siya'y nagalis ng kaniyang lambong, at isinuot ang mga kasuutan ng kaniyang pagkabao.

And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.

20 At ipinadala ni Juda ang anak ng kambing sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng kaniyang kaibigan, na Adullamita, upang tanggapin ang sangla sa kamay ng babae: datapuwa't hindi niya nasumpungan.

Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

21 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang itinanong sa mga tao sa dakong yaon na sinasabi, Saan nandoon ang patutot na nasa tabi ng daan sa Enaim? At kanilang sinabi, Walang naparitong sinomang patutot.

Then he asked the men of the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here."

22 At nagbalik siya kay Juda, at sinabi, Hindi ko nasumpungan: at sinabi rin naman ng mga tao sa dakong yaon, Walang naging patutot rito.

He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"

23 At sinabi ni Juda, Pabayaang ariin niya, baka tayo'y mapahiya: narito, aking ipinadala itong anak ng kambing at hindi mo siya nasumpungan.

Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."

24 At nangyari, na pagkaraan ng tatlong buwan, humigit kumulang, ay naibalita kay Juda, na sinasabi, Ang iyong manugang na si Thamar ay nagpatutot; at, narito, siya'y buntis sa pakikiapid. At sinabi ni Juda, Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.

Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

25 Nang siya'y ilabas, ay nagpasabi siya sa kaniyang biyanan. Sa lalaking may-ari ng mga ito, ay nagdalangtao ako: at kaniyang sinabi pang, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na kilalanin mo kung kanino ang mga ito, ang singsing, ang pamigkis, at ang tungkod.

When she was brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, and the staff."

26 At nangakilala ni Juda, at sinabi, Siya'y matuwid kay sa akin; sapagka't hindi ko ibinigay sa kaniya si Selah na aking anak. At hindi na niya muling sinipingan pa.

Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.

27 At nangyari, na sa pagdaramdam niya, na, narito, kambal ang nasa kaniyang tiyan.

It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.

28 At nangyari, nang nanganganak siya, na inilabas ng isa ang kamay: at hinawakan ng hilot at tinalian sa kamay ng isang sinulid na mapula, na sinasabi, Ito ang unang lumabas.

As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."

29 At nangyari, na pagkaurong ng kaniyang kamay, na, narito, ang kaniyang kapatid ang lumabas. At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit nagpumiglas ka? kaya't tinawag ang pangalan niyang Phares.

It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.

30 At pagkatapos ay lumabas ang kaniyang kapatid, na siyang may sinulid na mapula sa kamay: at tinawag na Zara ang kaniyang pangalan.

Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
