Genesis 38
1 At that time, Judah left his older and younger brothers and went down from the hilly area and stayed with a man whose name was Hiram, who lived in Adullam [town].
А у то време догоди се, те Јуда отиде од браће своје и уврати се код неког Одоламејца, коме име беше Ирас.
2 There he (met/became acquainted with) a woman who was the daughter of a man from Canaan named Shua. He married her. He had sex [EUP] with her,
И онде виде Јуда кћер неког Хананејца, коме име беше Сава, и узе је и леже с њом;
3 and she became pregnant and later gave birth to a son, whom he named Er.
И она затрудне и роди сина, коме надеде име Ир.
4 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son whom she named Onan.
И опет затрудневши роди сина, коме надеде име Авнан.
5 Many years later, when Judah and his family went to live in Kezib [town], Judah’s wife gave birth to another son, whom she named Shelah.
И опет роди сина, и надеде му име Силом; а Јуда беше у Хасви кад она тога роди.
6 When Judah’s oldest son Er [grew up], Judah got a wife for him, a woman named Tamar.
И Јуда ожени првенца свог Ира девојком по имену Тамара.
7 But Er did something that Yahweh considered to be very wicked, so Yahweh caused him to die.
Али Ир првенац Јудин беше неваљао пред Господом, и уби га Господ.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Your older brother died without having any sons. So marry his widow and have sex [EUP] with her. That is what our customs require that you should do.”
А Јуда рече Авнану: Уђи к жени брата свог и ожени се њом на име братово, да подигнеш семе брату свом.
9 But Onan knew if he did that, any children who would be born would not be considered to be his. So every time he had sex [EUP] with his brother’s widow, he spilled his semen on the ground, so that she would not get pregnant and produce children for his older brother.
А Авнан, знајући да неће бити његов пород, кад леже са женом брата свог просипаше на земљу, да не роди деце брату свом.
10 Yahweh considered that what he did was wicked, so he caused him to die also.
Али Господу не би мило што чињаше, те уби и њега.
11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Return to your father’s house, but do not marry anyone else. When my youngest son Shelah grows up, [he can marry you].” But Judah [really did not want Shelah to marry her, because] he was afraid that then Shelah would die too, just as his older brothers had died. So Tamar [obeyed Judah and] went back to live in her father’s house again.
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.
12 Several years later, Judah’s wife, who was the daughter of Shua, died. When the time of mourning for her was finished, Judah decided to go up to Timnah, to the place where his (men were shearing his sheep/sheep were being sheared) His friend Hiram, from Adullam, went with him.
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.
13 Someone said to Tamar, “Your father-in-law is going to [the fields near the city of] Timnah to help the men who are shearing his sheep.”
И јавише Тамари говорећи: Ето свекар твој иде у Тамну да стриже овце своје.
14 [She realized that now Shelah was grown up, but Judah had not given her to him to be his wife. So] she took off her widow’s clothes, and covered her head with a veil, so that people would not (recognize her/know who she was). Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim [town], which is on the road to Timnah.
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.
15 When Judah came along and saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, because she had covered her head [like prostitutes often did] (OR, [and sat where prostitutes often sat)].
А Јуда када виде, помисли да је курва, јер беше покрила лице своје.
16 Judah did not realize that she was his daughter-in-law. So he said to her, “Hey, let me have sex [EUP] with you!” She replied, “What will you give me for allowing you to have sex [EUP] with me?”
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?
17 He replied, “I will send you a young goat from my flock of goats.” She asked, “Will you give me something now for me to keep until you send the goat?”
А он рече: Послаћу ти јаре из стада. А она рече: Али да ми даш залог докле га не пошаљеш.
18 He replied, “What do you want me to give to you?” She replied, “Give me the ring that has your name on it that is tied by a cord around your neck, and give me the walking stick that you are holding in your hand.” So he gave them to her. Then he had sex [EUP] with her, and she became pregnant.
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.
19 After she left, she took off the veil and put her widow’s clothes on again.
После уставши Тамара отиде и скиде покривало са себе и обуче удовичко рухо.
20 Judah gave a young goat to his friend from Adullam, for him to take back to the woman, as he had promised. But his friend could not find the woman.
А Јуда посла јаре по пријатељу свом Одоламејцу да му донесе натраг од жене залог. Али је он не нађе.
21 So he asked the men who lived there, “Where is the prostitute who was sitting by the road at Enaim?” They replied, “There has never been a prostitute here!”
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.
22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I did not find her. [Furthermore], the men who live in that town said, ‘There has never been a prostitute here.’”
И врати се к Јуди и рече: Не нађох је, него још рекоше мештани: Није овде било курве.
23 Judah said, “She can keep the things that I gave to her. If we continued to search for her, people would ridicule us. I tried to send this young goat to her, but you could not find her to give it to her.”
А Јуда рече: Нека јој, да се не срамотимо; ја сам слао јаре, али је ти не нађе.
24 About three months later, someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and now she is pregnant!” Judah said, “Drag her outside of the city and kill her by burning her!”
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.
25 But as they were taking her outside of the city, she gave the ring and walking stick to someone, and told him to take them to Judah, and say to him, “The man who owns these things is the one who caused me to become pregnant.” She also said to tell him, “Look at this ring, and the cord that is attached to it, and this walking stick. Whose are they?”
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.
26 When the man did that, Judah recognized the ring and the stick. He said, “She is more righteous than I am. I did not tell my son Shelah to marry her, as I promised that I would.” And Judah did not have sex [EUP] with her again.
А Јуда позна и рече: Правија је од мене, јер је не дадох сину свом Силому. И више не леже с њом.
27 When it was time for her to give birth, [she was surprised that] there were twin boys in her womb.
А кад дође време да роди, а то близанци у утроби њеној.
28 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand. So the midwife fastened a scarlet thread around his wrist, saying, “This one came out first.”
И кад се порађаше, једно дете помоли руку, а бабица узе и веза му црвен конац око руке говорећи: Овај је први.
29 But he pulled his hand back inside the womb, and his brother came out first. So she said, “So this is how you break your way out first!” So she named him Perez, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘breaking out].’
Али он увуче руку, и гле изађе брат његов, а она рече: Како продре? Продирање нека ти буде. И надеше му име Фарес.
30 Then his younger brother, the one who had the scarlet thread around his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘redness of dawn].’
А после изађе брат му, коме око руке беше црвени конац, и надеше му име Зара.
