< Genesis 38 >

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down away from his brethren, —and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was Hirah.
Basa naa ma, Yahuda lao hela odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de leo no nonoo na Hira sia kambo Adulam.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose, name, was Shua, —and he took her, and went in unto her;
Sia naa, hambu amaꞌ esa, atahori Kanaꞌan, naran Sua. Yahuda hii Sua ana feto na esa, de ruꞌa se sao. De ana bꞌonggi ana touꞌ hira matutunggaꞌ.
3 and she conceived and bare a son, —and he called his name Er.
Ana ka esa na, ara babꞌae e, Er.
4 And she conceived again and bare a son, —and she called his name Onan.
Boe ma karua na, ara babꞌae e, Onan.
5 And she, yet again, bare a son, and called his name Shelah, —and she, was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Ma katelu na, naran Sela. Bonggi Sela ma, ara lali risiꞌ kambo feaꞌ, naran Kesib.
6 And Judah took a wife, for Er his firstborn, —and, her name, was Tamar.
Ana kaesa na, Er, naꞌamoko boe, Yahuda neu natane fee ne ana fetoꞌ esa, naran Tamar. De ruꞌa se sao.
7 And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —so Yahweh put him to death,
Te Er naa, deꞌulaka na seli. Naa de, Lamatualain hukun nisa e. De ana mate nda hela anaꞌ sa.
8 Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law unto her, —and raise up seed, to thy brother.
Basa ma, Yahuda denu ana karua na nae, “Onan! Aꞌa ma mate ena, te nda ma anaꞌ sa. De ia naa, tungga atahori lasiꞌ ra, musi nggati aꞌa ma fo sao mala sao na. Fo fee aꞌa ma tititi-nonosiꞌ.”
9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his, —and so although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.
Onan nahine adat naa ena. Te ana nda nau fee tititi-nonosiꞌ neu aꞌa na Er sa. De mete ma ana sungguꞌ no Tamar, naa, ana nggari hendi fini a, naa fo Tamar nda bꞌonggi sa.
10 And it was displeasing, in the eyes of Yahweh what he had done, —so he put, him also, to death,
Onan tatao na taꞌo naa, tao fee Lamatualain namanasa seli. Naa de Lamatualain o hukun nisa e boe.
11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law—Remain a widow in the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.
Huu Yahuda ana nara ruꞌa se mana sao Tamar mate ena, de ana namatau. Ana duꞌa, afiꞌ losa ana muri na Sela sao nala Tamar, ma ana o mate boe. Naa de, nafadꞌe ana feto feu na Tamar nae, “Ana ngge. Malole lenaꞌ baliꞌ misiꞌ ina-ama mara leo. Dei fo ana ngga Sela naꞌamoko fo, baliꞌ uma sao mala e.” Boe ma Tamar baliꞌ.
12 And when the days were multiplied, then died Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, —and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.
Nda doo sa ma, Yahuda sao na mate. De ana susa losa fai sususaꞌ basa. Basa naa ma, ana noꞌe nonoo na naran Hira, de ruꞌa se kambo Timna reu. Sia naa, atahori ra raꞌabꞌue nggute bibꞌi lombo fuluꞌ, fo seo.
13 And it was told Tamar saying, —Lo! thy father-in-law is going up towards Timnah, to the shearing of his sheep.
Boe ma atahori rafadꞌe Tamar rae, “Ama ari ma, Timna neu tungga fefetas nggute bibꞌi lombo fuluꞌ.”
14 So she put off from her the garments of her widowhood and covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself up, and sat down in the entrance of, Enaim, which is by the way towards Timnah, —for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she, had not been given him to wife.
Leleꞌ naa, Yahuda ana muri na Sela naꞌamoko ena. Te Tamar nahine nae ama ari na nda nau fee eni sao nala Sela sa. Boe ma Tamar sangga dalaꞌ fo noꞌe hak na. De ana olu hendi bua ina-falu na, ma nggati bua meulauꞌ. Ana lalaa langgan ma mboti matan nendiꞌ lafe anaꞌ. De neu endoꞌ sia kambo Enaim lelesu ine na, sia dalaꞌ nisiꞌ Timna neu.
15 And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, —for she had covered her face.
Leleꞌ Yahuda tungga lelesu ineꞌ a, nita inaꞌ esa. Nae neꞌo ina dalaꞌ, huu Tamar koao no bua-baꞌu na, ma mboti mata na.
16 So he turned aside unto her. by the way, and said Grant it! 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, if thou shouldst come in unto me?
Yahuda nda bubꞌuluꞌ nae, naa eni ana feto feu na sa. Dadꞌi ana neu deka-deka inaꞌ naa, de natane nae, “We! Mete ma au o ho naa, moꞌe baꞌu sa?” Tamar nataa nae, “Neu. Miaꞌ a amaꞌ hihii na.”
17 And he said, I, will send a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give a pledge until thou send it?
Yahuda naloe nae, “Ona bee, au fee hiek esa, do?” Tamar naselu nae, “Malole, Amaꞌ. Sadꞌi fee au toꞌu saa dadꞌi neu nemehereꞌ dei. Losa sudꞌiꞌ a fai hiraꞌ amaꞌ haitua hiek a nema.”
18 And he said—What is the pledge that I shall give thee? And She said—Thy signet-ring, and thy guard, and thy staff that is in thy hand. So he gave them to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.
Boe ma Yahuda natane nae, “Au fee saa dadꞌi neu nemehereꞌ?” Tamar nataa nae, “Amaꞌ fee hela cap fo mana doko-dokoꞌ, no tali na sia boto ma. Ma lao hela teteas boe.” Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yahuda fee basa saa naa ra neu e. De ruꞌa se reu sungguꞌ raꞌabꞌue. Basa ma, Tamar baliꞌ. Ana olu hendi bua-baꞌu meulau na no lafe anaꞌ naa, de pake baliꞌ bua-baꞌu ina falu na. Nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa te, Tamar nairu.
19 Then she arose and went her way, and put off her veil from her, —and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge at the hand of the woman, —but he found her not.
Nda doo sa fai, Yahuda noꞌe tulun nonoo na Hira nae, “Mendi hiek ia fee ina dalaꞌ sia Enaim dei, fo haꞌi mala baliꞌ au sudꞌi a saa ngga fo ana toꞌu a.” Hira neu losa naa ma, natane neu nema, te nda nandaa no inaꞌ naa sa.
21 So he asked the men of her place saying. Where is the devotee, she that was in Enaim, by the way? And they said, —There hath been here no devotee.
Boe ma natane atahori mana sia naa ra nae, “We! Hei mita ina dalaꞌ fo laꞌefa naa ana endoꞌ sia lelesu ineꞌ ia, do? Ana sia bee?” Te rataa rae, “Amaꞌ, ina dalaꞌ nese ia.”
22 Then returned he unto Judah, and said—I found her not, —moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee.
De Hira baliꞌ nisiꞌ Yahuda neu. Nafadꞌe nae, “Au nda undaa o inaꞌ naa sa. Au sangga-sangga, te atahori rae, ina dalaꞌ nese naa.”
23 And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, —lo! I sent this kid, and, thou, hast not found her.
Yahuda nataa nae, “Hela sudꞌi a saa naa ra, fo ana soa se. Sadꞌi atahori afiꞌ tao raꞌamamaeꞌ hita. Au ae bae, te nda tandaa to e sa na.”
24 And it came to pass that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying—Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.
Seli fula telu ma, atahori reu rafadꞌe Yahuda rae, “Ana feto feu ma Tamar tao ao na dadꞌi ina dalaꞌ. De ia naa ana nairu ena.” Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yahuda namanasa seli. De ana parenda atahori nara nae, “Mi lea mo inaꞌ naa nema, fo lalangge e horis!”
25 When, she, was about to be brought forth, then, she herself, sent unto her father-in-law saying, By the man to whom these belong, have I, conceived! And she said—Examine, I pray thee, to whom belong the signet-ring, and the guard, and the staff—these!
De reu lea rendi Tamar. Te ana haꞌi cap no teteas a. Boe ma ana denu rafadꞌe ama ari na nae, “Amaꞌ, tulun paresaꞌ sudꞌi a saa ia ra dei. Tenu-enaꞌ cap ma teteas ia, tao au uiru.”
26 So Judah examined them and said—More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Nita sudꞌi a saa naa ra, ma Yahuda nahine neuꞌ ena, nae eni ena na. De nafadꞌe nae, “Memaꞌ! Inaꞌ naa nda sala sa. Mana salaꞌ a, au. Matetu na, au musi uꞌusasaoꞌ e no ana ngga Sela. Te huu au nda nau sa. Mboꞌi e neu!” Boe ma, Yahuda nda naꞌabꞌue no Tamar sa ena.
27 And, it came to pass at the time of her travail, that lo! twins, were in her womb.
Tamar fula-fai bobꞌonggi na losa ma, ana bꞌonggi ana dꞌuaꞌ.
28 And it came to pass when she was in travail, that one put forth a hand, —so the midwife took and bound upon his hand a crimson thread, saying—This came first!
Leleꞌ ana bꞌonggi, anaꞌ esa lima na naꞌahuluꞌ dea nema. De mana naꞌabꞌobꞌonggiꞌ a paꞌa aba mbilas neu lima na. Ana nae, “Ia, kaesa na.”
29 And so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.
Te anaꞌ naa lea baliꞌ lima na. De nonoo na dea nema naꞌahuluꞌ. Mana naꞌabꞌobꞌonggiꞌ a nafadꞌe neu anaꞌ naa nae, “We! Ho memaꞌ maꞌadereꞌ o. Naa de, mukuseseti muꞌuhuluꞌ dea muu!” Ara babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Peres (sosoa na, ‘naseseti dea nema’).
30 And afterwards, came his brother, on whose hand was the crimson thread, —so his name was called, Zerah.
Dei de, odꞌi na mana paꞌa aba mbilas a dea nema. Ara babꞌae e, Sera (sosoa na, ‘mbila raraa’).
