< Genesis 38 >

1 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.
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 he 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 first-born, 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 Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah slew him.
Te Er naa, deꞌulaka na seli. Naa de, Lamatualain hukun nisa e. De ana mate nda hela anaꞌ sa.
8 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.
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 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.
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 the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and he slew him also.
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 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.
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 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.
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, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
Boe ma atahori rafadꞌe Tamar rae, “Ama ari ma, Timna neu tungga fefetas nggute bibꞌi lombo fuluꞌ.”
14 And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate 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.
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 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; 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 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?
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 thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till 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 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.
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 And she arose, and went away, 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 from the woman’s hand: 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 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There hath been no prostitute here.
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 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no prostitute here.
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, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, 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 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 whoredom. And Judah said, 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 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.
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 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.
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 in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
Tamar fula-fai bobꞌonggi na losa ma, ana bꞌonggi ana dꞌuaꞌ.
28 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.
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 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.
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 afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah.
Dei de, odꞌi na mana paꞌa aba mbilas a dea nema. Ara babꞌae e, Sera (sosoa na, ‘mbila raraa’).
