Genesis 38
1 Ní àkókò náà, Juda lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ láti lọ dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin ará Adullamu kan tí ń jẹ́ Hira.
And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.
2 Juda sì pàdé ọmọbìnrin Kenaani kan níbẹ̀ ẹni ti orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ṣua. Ó sì fi ṣe aya, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀;
And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
3 ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, tí ó sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Eri.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
4 Ó sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Onani.
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
5 Ó sì tún bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Ṣela. Ní Kesibu ni ó wà nígbà tí ó bí i.
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
6 Juda sì fẹ́ aya fún Eri, àkọ́bí rẹ̀, orúkọ aya náà ni Tamari.
And Judas took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n Eri àkọ́bí Juda ṣe ènìyàn búburú níwájú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run sì pa á.
And Er, the firstborn of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
8 Nígbà náà ni Juda wí fún Onani, “Bá aya arákùnrin rẹ lòpọ̀, kí o ṣe ojúṣe rẹ fun un gẹ́gẹ́ bí àbúrò ọkọ, kí ó ba à le bí ọmọ fún un ní orúkọ arákùnrin rẹ.”
And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to your brother.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Onani mọ̀ pé àwọn ọmọ náà kì yóò jẹ́ ti òun, nítorí náà ni gbogbo ìgbà tí ó bá wọlé tọ aya arákùnrin rẹ̀ lọ, ilẹ̀ ni ó ń da nǹkan ọkùnrin rẹ̀ sí, kí ó má bá a bímọ fún arákùnrin rẹ̀.
And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.
10 Ohun tí ó ń ṣe yìí burú lójú Olúwa, ó sì pa òun náà pẹ̀lú.
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he killed him also.
11 Nígbà náà ni Juda wí fún Tamari, ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ máa gbé bí opó ní ilé baba rẹ, títí tí Ṣela yóò fi dàgbà ó lérò pé òun náà lè kú bí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ tókù.” Nígbà náà ni Tamari ń lọ gbé ilé baba rẹ̀.
And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit you a widow in the house of your father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
12 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ìyàwó Juda, ọmọbìnrin Ṣua sì kú, nígbà tí ọjọ́ ọ̀fọ̀ Juda sì pé, ó gòkè lọ sí Timna, sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí ń bá a rẹ́run àgùntàn rẹ̀, Hira ará Adullamu tí í ṣe ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ sì bá a lọ.
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
13 Nígbà tí ẹnìkan sọ fún Tamari pé, “Baba ọkọ ọ̀ rẹ̀ wà ní ọ̀nà àjò rẹ̀ sí Timna láti rẹ́run àgùntàn rẹ̀.”
And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
14 Ó bọ́ aṣọ opó rẹ̀, ó sì fi ìbòjú bo ojú ara rẹ̀ kí wọn má ba à mọ̀ ọ́n. Ó sì jókòó sí ẹnu-bodè Enaimu, èyí tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà Timna. Nítorí ó rí i wí pé, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Ṣela ti dàgbà, síbẹ̀, a kò fi òun fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya.
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
15 Nígbà tí Juda rí i, ó rò pé panṣágà ni, nítorí ó ti bo ojú rẹ̀.
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16 Láìmọ̀ pé, aya ọmọ òun ní í ṣe, ó yà tọ̀ ọ́ ní ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, ó wí pé, “Wá kí èmi kí ó lè wọlé tọ̀ ọ́.” Òun sì wí pé, “Kín ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi kí ìwọ kó lè wọlé tọ̀ mí.”
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to you; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What will you give me if you should come in to me?
17 Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò fi ọmọ ewúrẹ́ kan ránṣẹ́ sí ọ láti inú agbo ẹran.” Obìnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò fún mi ní ohun kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí títí tí ìwọ yóò fi fi ránṣẹ́?”
And he said, I will send you a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if you will give me an earnest, until you send it.
18 Juda sì bi í pé, “Ẹ̀rí wo ni kí n fún ọ?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èdìdì ìdámọ̀ okùn àti ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ rẹ ti ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ.” Ó sì kó wọn fún un, ó sì sùn tì í, obìnrin náà sì lóyún nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give you? and she said, Your ring, and your bracelet, and the staff in your hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó lọ, ó bọ́ ìbòjú ojú rẹ̀, ó sì tún wọ aṣọ opó rẹ̀ padà.
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Juda sì rán ọmọ ewúrẹ́ náà láti ọwọ́ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, ará Adullamu náà lọ láti gba ògo n nì wá lọ́wọ́ obìnrin náà. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò bá obìnrin náà níbẹ̀.
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
21 Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn àdúgbò náà pé, “Níbo ni alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà tí ó wà ní etí ọ̀nà Enaimu wà?” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Kò sí alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà kankan níbí.”
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the wayside? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22 Ó sì padà lọ sọ́dọ̀ Juda ó wí fún un pé, “Èmí kò rí i, à ti pé àwọn aládùúgbò ibẹ̀ sọ pé kò sí alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà kankan níbẹ̀.”
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
23 Nígbà náà ni Juda wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó máa kó àwọn ohun tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ a ó di ẹlẹ́yà. Mo sá à fi ọmọ ewúrẹ́ ránṣẹ́ sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò rí òun.”
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but you have not found her.
24 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan bí oṣù mẹ́ta, wọn sọ fún Juda pé, “Tamari aya ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣe àgbèrè, ó sì ti lóyún.” Juda sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú un jáde, kí ẹ sì dá iná sun ún.”
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar your daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
25 Bí wọ́n sì ti ń mú un jáde, ó ránṣẹ́ sí baba ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ọkùnrin tí ó ni àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó fún mi lóyún. Wò ó, bóyá o lè mọ ẹni tí ó ni èdìdì ìdámọ̀, okùn àti ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ wọ̀nyí.”
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
26 Juda sì dá wọn mọ̀, ó sì wí pé, “O ṣe olódodo jù mí lọ, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí n kò fi fún Ṣela ọmọ mi.” Kò sì bá a lòpọ̀ mọ́ láti ọjọ́ náà.
And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
27 Nígbà tí àsìkò ìbímọ rẹ̀ tó. Ìbejì ọkùnrin ni ó bí.
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
28 Bí ó sì ti ń bímọ, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ náà na ọwọ́ jáde; agbẹ̀bí sì so okùn òdòdó mọ́ ọmọ náà ní ọrùn ọwọ́. Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni o kọ́kọ́ jáde.”
And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.
29 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó fa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ padà, èkejì rẹ̀ jáde. Tamari sì wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Peresi.
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of you? and she called his name, Phares.
30 Nígbà náà ni èkejì tí a ti so okùn olódòdó mọ́ lọ́rùn ọwọ́ jáde, wọ́n sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ni Sera.
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
