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 Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was] Hirah.
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 Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shuah; 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 he called his name Er.
4 Ó sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Onani.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
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 yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
6 Juda sì fẹ́ aya fún Eri, àkọ́bí rẹ̀, orúkọ aya náà ni Tamari.
And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name [was] Tamar.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n Eri àkọ́bí Juda ṣe ènìyàn búburú níwájú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run sì pa á.
And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew 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 Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy 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 Onan knew that the seed would not be his: and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he frustrated the purpose, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10 Ohun tí ó ń ṣe yìí burú lójú Olúwa, ó sì pa òun náà pẹ̀lú.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew 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.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son shall be grown; (for he said, Lest perhaps he die also as his brethren [did]: ) and Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
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 in process of time, the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died: and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
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 to Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath, 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 she put off from her, her widow's garments, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which [is] by the way to Timnath: for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
15 Nígbà tí Juda rí i, ó rò pé panṣágà ni, nítorí ó ti bo ojú rẹ̀.
When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] a harlot; because she had covered her face.
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 turned to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me have access to thee; (for he knew not that she [was] his daughter-in-law: ) and she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayst have access 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 [thee] a kid from the flock: and she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou sendest [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 pledge shall I give thee? and she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in thy hand: and he gave [them to] her, and came 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 went her way and laid by her vail from 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 Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but 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.”
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, where [is] the harlot that [was] openly by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot in this [place].
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 Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in this [place].
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 Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast 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 about three months after, that it was told to Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, behold she [is] with child by lewdness: and Judah said, Bring her forth, 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.”
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 bracelets, 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 Judah acknowledged [them], and said She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son: and he knew her again no more.
27 Nígbà tí àsìkò ìbímọ rẹ̀ tó. Ìbejì ọkùnrin ni ó bí.
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that behold, twins [were] 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 when she travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came 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 it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
30 Nígbà náà ni èkejì tí a ti so okùn olódòdó mọ́ lọ́rùn ọwọ́ jáde, wọ́n sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ni Sera.
And afterwards came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zarah.
