< 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.
At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain 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 certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
3 At naglihi, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Er.
She conceived, and bore 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 bore 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.
She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
6 At pinapag-asawa ni Juda si Er na kaniyang panganay, at ang pangalan niyao'y Thamar.
Judah took 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.
Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD 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.
Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother 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.
Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.
10 At ang bagay na ginawa niya ay masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y pinatay rin naman.
The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and 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 Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” 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 many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to 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.
Tamar was told, “Behold, 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 the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t 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, for 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 turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
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 a pledge, 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 pledge will I give you?” She said, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 At siya'y bumangon, at yumaon, at siya'y nagalis ng kaniyang lambong, at isinuot ang mga kasuutan ng kaniyang pagkabao.
She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
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 the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t 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 her 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 it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found 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.
About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burnt.”
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 to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, 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.
Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.
27 At nangyari, na sa pagdaramdam niya, na, narito, kambal ang nasa kaniyang tiyan.
In the time of her travail, behold, twins were 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.
When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This 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.
As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called 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, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
