Dud'uit Fefeu' a 38
1 Basa naa ma, Yahuda lao hela odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de leo no nonoo na Hira sia kambo Adulam.
At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.
2 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.
And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.
3 Ana ka esa na, ara babꞌae e, Er.
And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.
4 Boe ma karua na, ara babꞌae e, Onan.
And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.
5 Ma katelu na, naran Sela. Bonggi Sela ma, ara lali risiꞌ kambo feaꞌ, naran Kesib.
She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
6 Ana kaesa na, Er, naꞌamoko boe, Yahuda neu natane fee ne ana fetoꞌ esa, naran Tamar. De ruꞌa se sao.
And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
7 Te Er naa, deꞌulaka na seli. Naa de, Lamatualain hukun nisa e. De ana mate nda hela anaꞌ sa.
And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.
8 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.”
Juda, therefore said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother.
9 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.
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
10 Onan tatao na taꞌo naa, tao fee Lamatualain namanasa seli. Naa de Lamatualain o hukun nisa e boe.
And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.
11 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.
Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 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.
And after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.
13 Boe ma atahori rafadꞌe Tamar rae, “Ama ari ma, Timna neu tungga fefetas nggute bibꞌi lombo fuluꞌ.”
And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.
14 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.
And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.
15 Leleꞌ Yahuda tungga lelesu ineꞌ a, nita inaꞌ esa. Nae neꞌo ina dalaꞌ, huu Tamar koao no bua-baꞌu na, ma mboti mata na.
When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.
16 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.”
And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?
17 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.”
He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,
18 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.
Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.
And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 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.
And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her,
21 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.”
Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place,
22 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.”
He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.
23 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.”
Juda said: Let her take it to herself; surely she cannot charge us with a, lie: I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her.
24 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!”
And behold after three months they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may be burnt.
25 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.”
But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.
26 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.
But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However, he knew her no more.
27 Tamar fula-fai bobꞌonggi na losa ma, ana bꞌonggi ana dꞌuaꞌ.
And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying:
28 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.”
This shall come forth the first.
29 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’).
But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares.
30 Dei de, odꞌi na mana paꞌa aba mbilas a dea nema. Ara babꞌae e, Sera (sosoa na, ‘mbila raraa’).
Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
