Genesis 38

1 Dumating ang panahon na iniwan ni Juda ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki at tumira sa isang Adullamita, na ang pangalan ay Hira.

At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 Nakilala niya si Sua na anak ng Cananeo na lalaki na ang pangalan ay Sua. Pinakasalan niya at sinipingan niya.

There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

3 Siya ay nabuntis at nagkaroon ng anak na lalaki. Siya ay pinangalanan Er.

She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.

4 Nabuntis ulit siya at nagkaroon ng isang anak na lalaki. Tinawag niya siyang Onan.

She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.

5 Nagkaroon ulit siya ng isang anak at tinawag siya sa pangalang Selah. Ito ay sa Kizib kung saan siya ipinanganak.

She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.

6 Nakahanap si Juda ng isang asawa para kay Er, panganay niya. Ang pangalan niya ay Tamar.

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

7 Ang panganay niyang anak na si Er ay napakasama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay siya ni Yahweh.

Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him.

8 Sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, “Sumiping ka kasama ng asawa ng iyong kapatid na lalaki. Gawin mo ang tungkulin bilang isang kapatid na lalaki, at palakihin mo ang isang bata para sa iyong kapatid.

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.”

9 Alam na ni Onan na ang bata ay hindi kanya. Kapag sumisiping siya kasama ng asawa ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki, tinatapon niya sa lupa ang kanyang semilya upang hindi siya magkaroon ng anak para sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki.

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.

10 Ang ginawa niya ay naging masama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay din siya ni Yahweh.

The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.

11 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Juda kay Tamar, na kanyang manugang, “Manatili kang biyuda sa bahay ng iyong ama hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak.” Dahil sa isip niya, “Baka mamatay din siya katulad ng kanyang mga kapatid.” Umalis si Tamar at nanirahan sa bahay ng kanyang ama.

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.

12 Pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon, ang anak na babae ni Sua na asawa ni Juda ay namatay. Si Juda ay naaliw at pumunta pataas sa kanyang mga manggugupit ng balahibo ng tupa sa Timnat, siya at ang kanyang kaibigan na si Hira na isang Adullamita.

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.

13 Nasabihan si Tamar, “Tingnan mo, ang iyong biyenan na lalaki ay pupunta pataas sa Timnat upang gupitan ang balahibo ng kanyang mga tupa.”

Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

14 Hinubad niya ang damit sa pagkabalo at tinakpan ang kanyang sarili ng isang belo at ibinalot ang sarili. Umupo siya sa tarangkahan ng Enaim, sa tabi ng daan patungong Timnat. Dahil nakita niyang si Selah ay lumaki na ngunit hindi siya binigay bilang asawa niya.

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.

15 Nang makita siya ni Juda naisip niya na siya ay isang babaeng bayaran dahil tinakpan niya ang kanyang mukha.

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

16 Pumunta siya sa kanya sa tabing daan at sinabi, “Halika, pakiusap hayaan mo akong sumiping sa iyo.”- Dahil di niya alam na siya ang manugang niya- at sinabi niya, “Anong ibibigay mo sa akin para sipingan kita?”

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?”

17 Sinabi niya, “Papadalhan kita ng isang batang kambing na mula sa kawan.” Sinabi niya, “Maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng isang sangla hanggang maipadala mo ito?”

He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”

18 Sinabi niya, “Anong sangla ang maaari kong ibigay sa iyo?” At sinabi niya, “Ang inyong selyo at kordon, at ang tungkod na nasa iyong kamay.” Ibinigay ito sa kanya at sinipingan siya. Siya ay nabuntis sa pamamagitan niya.

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.

19 Tumindig si Tamar at umalis palayo. Inalis niya ang kanyang belo at isinuot ang damit sa kanyang pagkabalo.

She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 Ipinadala ni Juda ang batang kambing mula sa kawan kasama ang kanyang kaibigan na Adullamita para tanggapin ang sangla na mula sa kamay ng babae, ngunit hindi na niya siya nakita.

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.

21 Pagkatapos nito ay tinanong ng Adullamita ang mga lalaki sa lugar, “Nasaan na ang kultong babaeng bayaran na nasa Enaim sa tabing daan? “Sinabi nila, wala namang kultong babaeng bayaran dito.”

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.”

22 Bumalik siya kay Juda at sinabi, “Hindi ko siya nakita. Maging ang mga lalaki sa lugar ay nagsabi, 'Walang naging kultong babaeng bayaran dito.

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 Sinabi ni Juda, “Hayaan mong itago niya ang mga bagay, baka malagay tayo sa kahihiyan. Totoo nga, ipinadala ko ang batang kambing, ngunit hindi mo siya natagpuan.”

Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”

24 Dumating ang panahon, pagkalipas ng tatlong buwan na sinabi kay Juda, “Ang iyong manugang na si Tamar ay naging babaeng bayaran, at totoo nga, siya ay nabuntis sa dahil doon.” Sinabi ni Juda, “Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.”

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 burnt.”

25 Nang siya ay dinala palabas, nagpadala siya ng mensahe para sa kanyang biyenan na lalaki, “Dahil sa lalaking nagmamay-ari nito nabuntis ako.” Sabi niya, “Pakiusap alamin ninyo kung kaninong selyo, mga kordon at tungkod ito.”

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.”

26 Nakilala ni Juda ang mga ito at sinabi, “Siya ay mas matuwid kaysa sa akin, dahil hindi ko siya ibinigay bilang isang asawa kay Selah, na aking anak na lalaki.” Siya ay hindi na muling sumiping sa kanya.

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.

27 Nang siya ay manganganak na, masdan, kambal ang nasa kanyang sinapupunan.

In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.

28 Nang nanganganak na siya, may isang naglabas ng kamay, at kinuha ng komadrona ang isang pulang sinulid at itinali ito sa kanyang kamay at sinabi, “Ito ang unang lumabas.”

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.”

29 nang inurong niya ang kanyang kamay, at masdan, ang kapatid niyang lalaki ay unang lumabas. Ang komandrona ay nagsabi, “Paano ka nakalabas!” At pinangalanan siyang Perez.

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.

30 Pagkatapos ang kapatid niya ay lumabas, na mayroong pulang sinulid sa kanyang kamay, at Zera ang ipinangalan sa kanya.

Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
