1 Мојсијева 38

1 А у то време догоди се, те Јуда отиде од браће своје и уврати се код неког Одоламејца, коме име беше Ирас.

It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 И онде виде Јуда кћер неког Хананејца, коме име беше Сава, и узе је и леже с њом;

There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.

3 И она затрудне и роди сина, коме надеде име Ир.

She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.

4 И опет затрудневши роди сина, коме надеде име Авнан.

She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

5 И опет роди сина, и надеде му име Силом; а Јуда беше у Хасви кад она тога роди.

Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.

6 И Јуда ожени првенца свог Ира девојком по имену Тамара.

And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7 Али Ир првенац Јудин беше неваљао пред Господом, и уби га Господ.

Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so God killed him.

8 А Јуда рече Авнану: Уђи к жени брата свог и ожени се њом на име братово, да подигнеш семе брату свом.

Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother."

9 А Авнан, знајући да неће бити његов пород, кад леже са женом брата свог просипаше на земљу, да не роди деце брату свом.

But Onan knew that the offspring wouldn't be his. So it happened when he slept with his brother's wife that he released his semen on the ground, so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

10 Али Господу не би мило што чињаше, те уби и њега.

And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.

11 И Јуда рече Тамари снаси својој: Остани удовицом у кући оца свог докле одрасте Силом син мој. Јер говораше: Да не умре и он као браћа му. И отиде Тамара, и живеше у кући оца свог.

Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah is grown up." For he thought, "I do not want him to die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.

12 А кад прође много времена, умре кћи Савина, жена Јудина. И кад се Јуда утеши, пође у Тамну к људима што му стрижаху овце, сам с Ирасом пријатељем својим Одоламејцем.

After some time, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah finished mourning, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 И јавише Тамари говорећи: Ето свекар твој иде у Тамну да стриже овце своје.

And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

14 А она скиде са себе удовичко рухо своје, и узе покривало и покри лице, и седе на раскршће на путу који иде у Тамну. Јер виде да је Силом одрастао, а њу још не удаше за њ.

She took off her widow's clothes and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

15 А Јуда када виде, помисли да је курва, јер беше покрила лице своје.

When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

16 Па сврну с пута к њој и рече јој: Пусти да легнем с тобом. Јер није познао да му је снаха. А она рече: Шта ћеш ми дати да легнеш са мном?

He went over to her by the road and said, "Please come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"

17 А он рече: Послаћу ти јаре из стада. А она рече: Али да ми даш залог докле га не пошаљеш.

He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me something as a guarantee until you send it?"

18 А он рече: Какав залог да ти дам? А она рече: Ето, прстен и рубац, и штап што ти је у руци. И он јој даде, те леже с њом, и она затрудне од њега.

He said, "What kind of guarantee should I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

19 После уставши Тамара отиде и скиде покривало са себе и обуче удовичко рухо.

And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.

20 А Јуда посла јаре по пријатељу свом Одоламејцу да му донесе натраг од жене залог. Али је он не нађе.

Judah sent the young goat by his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the guarantee back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

21 Па питаше људе по оном месту где је она била говорећи: Где је она курва што је била на раскршћу на овом путу? А они рекоше: Није овде било курве.

Then he asked the men of the place, saying, "Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here."

22 И врати се к Јуди и рече: Не нађох је, него још рекоше мештани: Није овде било курве.

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.'"

23 А Јуда рече: Нека јој, да се не срамотимо; ја сам слао јаре, али је ти не нађе.

Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."

24 А кад прође до три месеца дана, јавише Јуди говорећи: Тамара снаха твоја учини прељубу, и ево затрудне од прељубе. А Јуда рече: Изведите је да се спали.

Now it happened about three months later that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has turned to prostitution, and now, look, she is pregnant by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

25 А кад је поведоше, посла к свекру свом и поручи: С човеком чије је ово затруднела сам. И рече: Тражи чији је овај прстен и рубац и штап.

When she was brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man who owns these I am pregnant." She also said, "Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cord, and the staff."

26 А Јуда позна и рече: Правија је од мене, јер је не дадох сину свом Силому. И више не леже с њом.

Then Judah recognized them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." He did not sleep with her again.

27 А кад дође време да роди, а то близанци у утроби њеној.

It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.

28 И кад се порађаше, једно дете помоли руку, а бабица узе и веза му црвен конац око руке говорећи: Овај је први.

As she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."

29 Али он увуче руку, и гле изађе брат његов, а она рече: Како продре? Продирање нека ти буде. И надеше му име Фарес.

It happened, as he drew back his hand, that look, his brother came out, and she said, "How did you break through?" So he was named Perez.

30 А после изађе брат му, коме око руке беше црвени конац, и надеше му име Зара.

Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
