Genesis 38
1 It happened at that time that Judah moved away from his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Ke pacl sac pacna Judah el som liki mwet wial, ac muta yurin mwet se pangpang Hirah, su ma in siti srisrik Adullam.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he married her and slept with her.
Ke el muta we el sun tulik mutan Canaan se, su ma natul Shua. Na el payukyak sel,
3 She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.
ac mutan sac osweang wen se nu sel, ac Judah el sang inen tulik sac Er.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
Mutan sac sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se, ac sang inel Onan.
5 Then she gave birth to another son, and named him Shelah. And he was at Kezib when she gave birth to him.
Na el sifilpa oswela wen se, ac sang inel Shelah. Judah el muta Achzib ke mutan sac oswella Shelah.
6 And Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Judah el konauk mutan se pangpang Tamar kial Er, wen se omeet natul.
7 Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, so God killed him.
Elah lal Er arulana koluk ac aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ke ma inge LEUM GOD El unilya.
8 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."
Na Judah el fahk nu sel Onan, tamulel lal Er, “Fahla ona yurin katinmas kien tamulel lom, ac akfalye ma kunom nu sel, tuh in oasr fita nutin ma lim.”
9 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.
Tusruktu Onan el etu lah tulik el ac orala uh ac tia oaoa mu ma natul, ouinge pacl nukewa el ac ona yurin katinmas sac, el ac okoalla nu saya, tuh in wangin tulik nutin tamulel lal.
10 And what he did was evil in the sight of God, so he killed him also.
Ma el oru inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El unilya pac.
11 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.
Na Judah el fahk nu sel Tamar, acn talupal, “Folokla ac muta yurin papa tomom, ac mutangan katinmas na nwe ke na Shelah, wen nutik, el matula.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el sensen ac anwuki pac Shelah oana tamulel luo lal ah. Ke ma inge Tamar el folokla nu yen sel ah.
12 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.
Tok kutu, na mutan kial Judah ah misa. Ke safla eoksra lal, el ac Hirah, kawuk lal in acn Adullam, som nu Timnah, yen ma kalkul sheep natul uh we.
13 And Tamar was told, saying, "Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
Mwet se fahkang nu sel Tamar lah papa tumun mukul tumal ah el som nu Timnah in kal sheep natul we.
14 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.
Ouinge Tamar el ayaolla liki nuknuk in katinmas lal ma el muta nukum, afinya mutal ke mwe lisrlisr, ac pituki muta ke acn in utyak nu Enaim, sie siti srisrik sisken inkanek nu Timnah. In etu lal uh, Shelah, wen se ma fusr oemeet natul Judah, el matula tari in pacl se inge, a tiana itukyang Tamar elan payukyak sel.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
Ke Judah el liyalak, el nunku mu sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal pa el, mweyen el afinya mutal.
16 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?"
El fahla nwe yorol sisken inkanek ah, ac fahk, “Kwal, lupa su molum?” (Judah el tiana etu lah mutan sac ma talupal.) Tamar el fahk, “Mea kom ac se?”
17 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?"
Ac Judah el topuk, “Nga ac supwama soko nani fusr ah liki un kosro nutik.” Na Tamar el fahk, “Kwal, se sie mwe akpwaye an in oan yuruk nwe ke na kom supwama nani an.”
18 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.
Ac Judah el siyuk, “Mea nga ac sot in mwe akpwaye wulela luk?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Sil se lom ingan wi ah nu kac an, oayapa sikal soko lom ma kom us ingan.” Judah el sang ma inge kewa nu sel, na el ona yorol ac Tamar el pitutuyak sel.
19 And she got up and left, and took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing.
Tamar el folokla nu lohm sel, eisla mwe lisrlisr ke mutal, ac sifilpa nokomwang nuknuk in katinmas lal.
20 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.
Judah el supwalla Hirah, kawuk lal, in usla nani uh ac folokonma mwe akpwaye ma el tuh sang nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu Hirah el tuh tia ku in konalak.
21 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."
El siyuk sin kutu mukul Enaim, “Pia mutan kosro se ma tuh muta pe inkanek uh ah?” Ac elos topuk, “Wanginna mutan kosro yenu.”
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.'"
Hirah el folokla nu yorol Judah ac fahk, “Nga tia ku in konalak. Mukul in acn sac fahk mu soenna oasr mutan kosro in acn sac.”
23 Judah said, "Let her keep the things, lest we be publicly shamed. Look, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."
Judah el fahk, “Tari elan eis lal ma yorol an. Kut tia lungse mwet in isrun kut. Nga srike ngan moli nu sel, tuh pa kom tia konalak an.”
24 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."
Ac malem tolu ma tok, mwet se fahk nu sel Judah, “Tamar, acn talupom, el orekma oana mutan kosro se, ac inge el pitutu.” Ac Judah el sap, “Usalla, esukulak elan misa!”
25 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."
Ke elos amakunulla Tamar, el sap elos in fahkang kas inge nu sin papa talupal: “Nga pitutuyak sin mwet se la ma inge. Srike liye lah lun su — sil se inge wi ah soko nu kac uh, ac sikal soko.”
26 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.
Judah el akilenak ma inge ac fahk, “Pwaye sel, wangin mwatal. Nga tafongla ke ma kunuk nu sel. Pwayeiya uh, nga ac eisalang Shelah tumal.” Ac Judah el tiana sifilpa oan yorol.
27 It happened when it was time for her to give birth, that look, there were twins in her womb.
Ke sun pacl in isus lal, koneyukyak lah el ac oswe fak se.
28 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."
Ke pacl se el oswe tulik inge, sie seltal isongla paol nu saya, na mutan akisus sac sruokya, ac kapriya turet srusra soko kac, ac fahk, “El uh pa isusla meet uh.”
29 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.
Tusruktu tulik sac folokonak paol, ac ma se ngia tuh isusla meet lukel. Na mutan akisus sac fahk, “Ya pa nge luman illa lom uh? Kom sifacna fokolma inkanek lom.” Ouinge itukyang inen tulik sac Perez.
30 Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, so he was named Zerah.
Na tulik se wial ah isusla, ac turet srusra soko ah oanna ke paol, na itukyang inel Zerah.
