< Genesis 38 >
1 Dumating ang panahon na iniwan ni Juda ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki at tumira sa isang Adullamita, na ang pangalan ay Hira.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 Nakilala niya si Sua na anak ng Cananeo na lalaki na ang pangalan ay Sua. Pinakasalan niya at sinipingan niya.
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her.
3 Siya ay nabuntis at nagkaroon ng anak na lalaki. Siya ay pinangalanan Er.
And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
4 Nabuntis ulit siya at nagkaroon ng isang anak na lalaki. Tinawag niya siyang Onan.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
5 Nagkaroon ulit siya ng isang anak at tinawag siya sa pangalang Selah. Ito ay sa Kizib kung saan siya ipinanganak.
And she yet again bore a son, and called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
6 Nakahanap si Juda ng isang asawa para kay Er, panganay niya. Ang pangalan niya ay Tamar.
And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
7 Ang panganay niyang anak na si Er ay napakasama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay siya ni Yahweh.
And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
8 Sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, “Sumiping ka kasama ng asawa ng iyong kapatid na lalaki. Gawin mo ang tungkulin bilang isang kapatid na lalaki, at palakihin mo ang isang bata para sa iyong kapatid.
And Judah said unto Onan: 'Go in unto thy brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.'
9 Alam na ni Onan na ang bata ay hindi kanya. Kapag sumisiping siya kasama ng asawa ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki, tinatapon niya sa lupa ang kanyang semilya upang hindi siya magkaroon ng anak para sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki.
And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10 Ang ginawa niya ay naging masama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay din siya ni Yahweh.
And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD; and He slew him also.
11 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Juda kay Tamar, na kanyang manugang, “Manatili kang biyuda sa bahay ng iyong ama hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak.” Dahil sa isip niya, “Baka mamatay din siya katulad ng kanyang mga kapatid.” Umalis si Tamar at nanirahan sa bahay ng kanyang ama.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law: 'Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown up'; for he said: 'Lest he also die, like his brethren.' And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
12 Pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon, ang anak na babae ni Sua na asawa ni Juda ay namatay. Si Juda ay naaliw at pumunta pataas sa kanyang mga manggugupit ng balahibo ng tupa sa Timnat, siya at ang kanyang kaibigan na si Hira na isang Adullamita.
And in process of time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
13 Nasabihan si Tamar, “Tingnan mo, ang iyong biyenan na lalaki ay pupunta pataas sa Timnat upang gupitan ang balahibo ng kanyang mga tupa.”
And it was told Tamar, saying: 'Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.'
14 Hinubad niya ang damit sa pagkabalo at tinakpan ang kanyang sarili ng isang belo at ibinalot ang sarili. Umupo siya sa tarangkahan ng Enaim, sa tabi ng daan patungong Timnat. Dahil nakita niyang si Selah ay lumaki na ngunit hindi siya binigay bilang asawa niya.
And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entrance of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 Nang makita siya ni Juda naisip niya na siya ay isang babaeng bayaran dahil tinakpan niya ang kanyang mukha.
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she had covered her face.
16 Pumunta siya sa kanya sa tabing daan at sinabi, “Halika, pakiusap hayaan mo akong sumiping sa iyo.”- Dahil di niya alam na siya ang manugang niya- at sinabi niya, “Anong ibibigay mo sa akin para sipingan kita?”
And he turned unto her by the way, and said: 'Come, 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, that thou mayest come in unto me?'
17 Sinabi niya, “Papadalhan kita ng isang batang kambing na mula sa kawan.” Sinabi niya, “Maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng isang sangla hanggang maipadala mo ito?”
And he said: 'I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock.' And she said: 'Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?'
18 Sinabi niya, “Anong sangla ang maaari kong ibigay sa iyo?” At sinabi niya, “Ang inyong selyo at kordon, at ang tungkod na nasa iyong kamay.” Ibinigay ito sa kanya at sinipingan siya. Siya ay nabuntis sa pamamagitan niya.
And he said: 'What pledge shall I give thee?' And she said: 'Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand.' And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
19 Tumindig si Tamar at umalis palayo. Inalis niya ang kanyang belo at isinuot ang damit sa kanyang pagkabalo.
And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Ipinadala ni Juda ang batang kambing mula sa kawan kasama ang kanyang kaibigan na Adullamita para tanggapin ang sangla na mula sa kamay ng babae, ngunit hindi na niya siya nakita.
And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
21 Pagkatapos nito ay tinanong ng Adullamita ang mga lalaki sa lugar, “Nasaan na ang kultong babaeng bayaran na nasa Enaim sa tabing daan? “Sinabi nila, wala namang kultong babaeng bayaran dito.”
Then he asked the men of her place, saying: 'Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the wayside?' And they said: 'There hath been no harlot here.'
22 Bumalik siya kay Juda at sinabi, “Hindi ko siya nakita. Maging ang mga lalaki sa lugar ay nagsabi, 'Walang naging kultong babaeng bayaran dito.
And he returned to Judah, and said: 'I have not found her; and also the men of the place said: There hath been no harlot here.'
23 Sinabi ni Juda, “Hayaan mong itago niya ang mga bagay, baka malagay tayo sa kahihiyan. Totoo nga, ipinadala ko ang batang kambing, ngunit hindi mo siya natagpuan.”
And Judah said: 'Let her take it, lest we be put to shame; behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
24 Dumating ang panahon, pagkalipas ng tatlong buwan na sinabi kay Juda, “Ang iyong manugang na si Tamar ay naging babaeng bayaran, at totoo nga, siya ay nabuntis sa dahil doon.” Sinabi ni Juda, “Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.”
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying: 'Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by harlotry.' And Judah said: 'Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.'
25 Nang siya ay dinala palabas, nagpadala siya ng mensahe para sa kanyang biyenan na lalaki, “Dahil sa lalaking nagmamay-ari nito nabuntis ako.” Sabi niya, “Pakiusap alamin ninyo kung kaninong selyo, mga kordon at tungkod ito.”
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: 'By the man, whose these are, am I with child'; and she said: 'Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.'
26 Nakilala ni Juda ang mga ito at sinabi, “Siya ay mas matuwid kaysa sa akin, dahil hindi ko siya ibinigay bilang isang asawa kay Selah, na aking anak na lalaki.” Siya ay hindi na muling sumiping sa kanya.
And Judah acknowledged them, and said: 'She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son.' And he knew her again no more.
27 Nang siya ay manganganak na, masdan, kambal ang nasa kanyang sinapupunan.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
28 Nang nanganganak na siya, may isang naglabas ng kamay, at kinuha ng komadrona ang isang pulang sinulid at itinali ito sa kanyang kamay at sinabi, “Ito ang unang lumabas.”
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying: 'This came out first.'
29 nang inurong niya ang kanyang kamay, at masdan, ang kapatid niyang lalaki ay unang lumabas. Ang komandrona ay nagsabi, “Paano ka nakalabas!” At pinangalanan siyang Perez.
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold his brother came out; and she said: 'Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself?' Therefore his name was called Perez.
30 Pagkatapos ang kapatid niya ay lumabas, na mayroong pulang sinulid sa kanyang kamay, at Zera ang ipinangalan sa kanya.
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah.
