Genesis 38
1 At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Nzokande na tango wana, Yuda atikaki bandeko na ye mpe akendeki kovanda epai ya Ira, moto ya Adulami.
2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
Yuda akutanaki kuna na mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, moto ya Kanana. Abalaki ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
Mwasi yango akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Yuda mwana mobali. Mpe Yuda apesaki ye kombo « Eri. »
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
Mwasi yango azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali; apesaki ye kombo « Onani. »
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Abotaki mwana mobali mosusu mpe apesaki ye kombo « Shela. » Yuda azalaki na Kezibi tango mwasi na ye abotaki mwana ya misato.
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Yuda abalelaki Eri, mwana na ye ya liboso, mwasi: Tamari.
7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in Yahweh’s sight. So Yahweh killed him.
Kasi Eri, mwana liboso ya Yuda, azalaki moto mabe na miso ya Yawe; yango wana Yawe abomaki ye.
8 Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
Bongo Yuda alobaki na Onani: « Sangisa nzoto na semeki na yo mpo ete obota bana mpo na ndeko na yo ya mobali oyo akufa. »
9 Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.
Kasi lokola Onani ayebaki ete bana oyo bakobotama bakozala ya ye te, azalaki kobwaka mayi na ye ya mibali na mabele tango nyonso azalaki kosangisa nzoto na semeki na ye, mpo ete abotela ndeko na ye ya mobali bana te.
10 The thing which he did was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and he killed him also.
Likambo oyo Onani azalaki kosala ezalaki kosepelisa Yawe te. Boye ye mpe lisusu, Yawe abomaki ye.
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
Yuda alobaki na Tamari, bokilo na ye ya mwasi: « Lokola okufisi mibali, kende kovanda na ndako ya tata na yo kino Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali, akokoma mokolo. » Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Tango mosusu ye mpe akoki kokufa lokola bandeko na ye ya mibali. » Boye Tamari akendeki kovanda na ndako ya tata na ye.
12 After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.
Sima na tango molayi, mwana mwasi ya Shuwa, mwasi ya Yuda, akufaki. Lokola tango na ye ya matanga esilaki, Yuda akendeki na Timina epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye. Boye, moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, akendeki elongo na ye.
13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
Tango bayebisaki Tamari: « Bokilo na yo ya mobali azali kokende na Timina mpo na kolongolisa bapwale ya bameme na ye, »
14 She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.
alongolaki bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali mpe amizipaki elongi na vwale mpo ete bayeba ye lisusu te. Avandaki na ekuke ya Enayimi oyo ezalaki na nzela ya Timina, pamba te amonaki ete Shela akolaki, kasi bapesaki ye te na libala epai ya Shela.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
Tango Yuda amonaki ye, akanisaki ete azali mwasi ya ndumba, pamba te azipaki elongi na ye.
16 He turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
Lokola Yuda ayebaki te ete ezali bokilo na ye ya mwasi, apusanaki na esika oyo azalaki, pembeni ya nzela, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, ndima ete tosangisa na yo nzoto. Tamari atunaki: — Okopesa ngai nini soki osangisi na ngai nzoto?
17 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”
Yuda azongisaki: — Nakotindela yo mwana ntaba oyo nakozwa na etonga na ngai. Tamari atunaki lisusu: — Ndanga nini okosimbisa ngai kino tango okotindela ngai yango?
18 He said, “What pledge will I give you?” She said, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
Yuda alobaki: — Ndanga nini olingi ete nasimbisa yo? Tamari azongisaki: — Lopete na yo, singa na yo mpe lingenda na yo, oyo osimbi na loboko. Boye Yuda apesaki ye yango, asangisaki na ye nzoto mpe Tamari akomaki na zemi.
19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Tamari atelemaki mpe akendeki; alongolaki vwale na ye mpe azongisaki lisusu na nzoto bilamba na ye ya mwasi akufisa mobali.
20 Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t find her.
Boye Yuda atindaki moninga na ye Ira, moto ya Adulami, mpo ete amemela mwasi yango mwana ntaba mpe azwa ndanga oyo asimbisaki ye. Kasi Ira amonaki ye te.
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?” They said, “There has been no prostitute here.”
Boye atunaki epai ya bavandi ya esika wana, na Enayimi: — Wapi mwasi ya ndumba oyo azalaki na nzela, na Enayimi? Bazongiselaki ye: — Esika oyo etikala kozala na mwasi ya ndumba te.
22 He returned to Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”
Ira azongaki epai ya Yuda mpe ayebisaki ye: — Namoni ye te; kutu bavandi ya Enayimi bayebisi ngai ete mwasi ya ndumba atikala kozala na esika wana te.
23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”
Yuda alobaki: — Atikala na biloko oyo azwaki, noki te tokobima babolole. Ngai nazali na likambo te; natindeli ye mwana ntaba, mpe yo omoni ye te.
24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
Sima na sanza misato, bayebisaki Yuda: — Tamari, bokilo na yo ya mwasi, asalaki kindumba, mpe tala kutu akomi na zemi. Yuda alobaki: — Babimisa ye mpe batumba ye na moto!
25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”
Wana bazalaki kobimisa ye libanda, Tamari atindaki sango oyo epai ya Yuda, bokilo na ye: — Nazali na zemi ya nkolo biloko oyo. Mpe abakisaki: — Tala soki okoki koyeba nani azali nkolo ya lopete oyo, ya singa oyo mpe ya lingenda oyo.
26 Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.
Yuda asosolaki ete ezali biloko na ye mpe alobaki: — Azali sembo koleka ngai, pamba te nabalisaki ye te epai ya Shela, mwana na ngai ya mobali. Boye Yuda atikalaki lisusu te kosangisa na ye nzoto.
27 In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
Wana tango na ye ya kobota ekokaki, emonanaki ete ezalaki na mapasa mibale ya mibali kati na libumu na ye.
28 When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This came out first.”
Na tango ya kobota, moko kati na bango abimisaki loboko; mpe mwasi oyo abotisaka asimbaki loboko yango, akangaki yango singa ya motane mpe alobaki: « Mwana oyo nde abimi liboso. »
29 As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.
Kasi azongisaki loboko na ye, mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali abimaki. Bongo mwasi oyo abotisaka alobaki: « Ofungoli nzela nini mpo na kobima? » Mpe bapesaki ye kombo « Peretsi. »
30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
Sima, ndeko na ye oyo azalaki na singa ya motane na loboko mpe abotamaki; bapesaki ye kombo « Zera. »
