Genesis 38
1 And it was at the time that and he went down Judah from with brothers his and he turned aside to a man an Adullamite and name his [was] Hirah.
那時，猶大離開他弟兄下去，到一個亞杜蘭人名叫希拉的家裏去。
2 And he saw there Judah a daughter of a man a Canaanite and name his [was] Shua and he took her and he went into her.
猶大在那裏看見一個迦南人名叫書亞的女兒，就娶她為妻，與她同房，
3 And she conceived and she bore a son and he called name his Er.
她就懷孕生了兒子，猶大給他起名叫珥。
4 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she called name his Onan.
她又懷孕生了兒子，母親給他起名叫俄南。
5 And she repeated again and she bore a son and she called name his Shelah and he was in Kezib when bore she him.
她復又生了兒子，給他起名叫示拉。她生示拉的時候，猶大正在基悉。
6 And he took Judah a wife for Er firstborn his and name her [was] Tamar.
猶大為長子珥娶妻，名叫她瑪。
7 And he was Er [the] firstborn of Judah evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he put to death him Yahweh.
猶大的長子珥在耶和華眼中看為惡，耶和華就叫他死了。
8 And he said Judah to Onan go into [the] wife of brother your and act as a husband's brother for her and raise up offspring for brother your.
猶大對俄南說：「你當與你哥哥的妻子同房，向她盡你為弟的本分，為你哥哥生子立後。」
9 And he knew Onan that not to him it will belong the offspring and it was if he went into [the] wife of brother his and he spoiled [the] ground towards to not to give offspring to brother his.
俄南知道生子不歸自己，所以同房的時候便遺在地，免得給他哥哥留後。
10 And it was evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh [that] which he had done and he put to death also him.
俄南所做的在耶和華眼中看為惡，耶和華也就叫他死了。
11 And he said Judah to Tamar daughter-in-law his dwell a widow [the] house of father your until he will grow up Shelah son my for he said lest he should die also he like brothers his and she went Tamar and she dwelt [the] house of father her.
猶大心裏說：「恐怕示拉也死，像他兩個哥哥一樣」，就對他兒婦她瑪說：「你去，在你父親家裏守寡，等我兒子示拉長大。」她瑪就回去，住在她父親家裏。
12 And they increased the days and she died [the] daughter of Shua [the] wife of Judah and he was comforted Judah and he went up to [the] shearers of sheep his he and Hirah friend his the Adullamite Timnah towards.
過了許久，猶大的妻子書亞的女兒死了。猶大得了安慰，就和他朋友亞杜蘭人希拉上亭拿去，到他剪羊毛的人那裏。
13 And it was told to Tamar saying there! father-in-law your [is] going up Timnah towards to shear sheep his.
有人告訴她瑪說：「你的公公上亭拿剪羊毛去了。」
14 And she removed [the] clothes of widowhood her from on her and she covered with the veil and she wrapped herself up and she sat at [the] entrance of Enaim which [is] on [the] road of Timnah towards for she had seen that he had grown up Shelah and she not she had been given to him to a wife.
她瑪見示拉已經長大，還沒有娶她為妻，就脫了她作寡婦的衣裳，用帕子蒙着臉，又遮住身體，坐在亭拿路上的伊拿印城門口。
15 And he saw her Judah and he considered her to a prostitute for she had covered face her.
猶大看見她，以為是妓女，因為她蒙着臉。
16 And he turned aside to her to the road and he said give! please let me go into you for not he knew that [was] daughter-in-law his she and she said what? will you give to me that you will come into me.
猶大就轉到她那裏去，說：「來吧！讓我與你同寢。」他原不知道是他的兒婦。她瑪說：「你要與我同寢，把甚麼給我呢？」
17 And he said I I will send a kid of goats from the flock and she said if you will give a pledge until sending [it] you.
猶大說：「我從羊群裏取一隻山羊羔，打發人送來給你。」她瑪說：「在未送以先，你願意給我一個當頭嗎？」
18 And he said what? [is] the pledge which I will give to you and she said seal your and cord your and staff your which [is] in hand your and he gave [them] to her and he went into her and she conceived to him.
他說：「我給你甚麼當頭呢？」她瑪說：「你的印、你的帶子，和你手裏的杖。」猶大就給了她，與她同寢，她就從猶大懷了孕。
19 And she arose and she went and she removed veil her from on her and she put on [the] clothes of widowhood her.
她瑪起來走了，除去帕子，仍舊穿上作寡婦的衣裳。
20 And he sent Judah [the] kid of the goats by [the] hand of friend his the Adullamite to take the pledge from [the] hand of the woman and not he found her.
猶大託他朋友亞杜蘭人送一隻山羊羔去，要從那女人手裏取回當頭來，卻找不着她，
21 And he asked [the] men of place her saying where? [is] the cult prostitute she [was] at Enaim at the road and they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.
就問那地方的人說：「伊拿印路旁的妓女在哪裏？」他們說：「這裏並沒有妓女。」
22 And he returned to Judah and he said not I found her and also [the] men of the place they said not she was in this [place] a cult prostitute.
他回去見猶大說：「我沒有找着她，並且那地方的人說：『這裏沒有妓女。』」
23 And he said Judah let her take [them] for herself lest we should become contempt there! I sent the kid this and you not you found her.
猶大說：「我把這山羊羔送去了，你竟找不着她。任憑她拿去吧，免得我們被羞辱。」
24 And it was - when from three months and it was told to Judah saying she has acted as a prostitute Tamar daughter-in-law your and also here! [she is] pregnant to prostitution and he said Judah bring out her so she may be burned.
約過了三個月，有人告訴猶大說：「你的兒婦她瑪作了妓女，且因行淫有了身孕。」猶大說：「拉出她來，把她燒了！」
25 She [was being] brought out and she she sent to father-in-law her saying to a man whom these [belong] to him I [am] pregnant and she said investigate please [belong] to whom? the seal and the cord and the staff these.
她瑪被拉出來的時候便打發人去見她公公，對他說：「這些東西是誰的，我就是從誰懷的孕。請你認一認，這印和帶子並杖都是誰的？」
26 And he recognized [them] Judah and he said she is righteous more than me for since not I gave her to Shelah son my and not he repeated again to know her.
猶大承認說：「她比我更有義，因為我沒有將她給我的兒子示拉。」從此猶大不再與她同寢了。
27 And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.
她瑪將要生產，不料她腹裏是一對雙生。
28 And it was when gave birth she and he put out a hand and she took the midwife and she tied on hand his a scarlet thread saying this one he came out first.
到生產的時候，一個孩子伸出一隻手來；收生婆拿紅線拴在他手上，說：「這是頭生的。」
29 And it was - when [he was] withdrawing hand his and there! he came out brother his and she said how! you have made a breach on yourself a breach and someone called name his Perez.
隨後這孩子把手收回去，他哥哥生出來了；收生婆說：「你為甚麼搶着來呢？」因此給他起名叫法勒斯。
30 And after he came out brother his whom [was] on hand his the scarlet thread and someone called name his Zerah.
後來，他兄弟那手上有紅線的也生出來，就給他起名叫謝拉。
