11 Juda dit alors à Thamar, sa bru: Reste veuve dans la maison de ton père jusqu'à ce que mon fils Séla soit grand. Mais il se disait en lui-même: Prenons garde que celui-là aussi ne meure comme ses frères. Et Thamar, étant partie, demeura en la maison de son père.

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.

12 Les jours s'écoulèrent, et Sué, femme de Juda, mourut; après que Juda se fut consolé, il s'en alla avec Hiras, son pâtre Odollamite, en Thamma, vers ceux qui tondaient ses brebis.

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.

And it was told to Tamar saying there! father-in-law your [is] going up Timnah towards to shear sheep his.

14 Alors, elle quitta ses vêtements de veuve, et mit son large voile; elle se fit belle, et elle s'assit devant la porte d'Enan qui est sur le chemin de Thamna, car elle voyait que Séla ayant grandi et que Juda ne la lui faisait point prendre pour femme.

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.

15 Juda l'ayant vue, la prit pour une prostituée, car elle avait voilé sa figure, et il ne la reconnut pas.

And he saw her Judah and he considered her to a prostitute for she had covered face her.

16 Il quitta le chemin pour aller à elle, et il lui dit: Laisse-moi m'approcher de toi; car il ne savait pas que c'était sa bru; elle lui dit: Que me donneras-tu si tu t'approches de moi?

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.

17 Je t'enverrai, répondit-il, un chevreau de mon troupeau de chèvres. Elle repartit: Tu me donneras des gages jusqu'à ce que tu me l'aies envoyé.

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.

18 Et il reprit: Quel gage te donnerai-je? Ton anneau, dit-elle, ton petit collier, et la baguette que tu as à la main. Il les lui donna donc; il s'approcha d'elle, et elle conçut de lui.

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.

19 Puis, s'étant levée, elle partit, ôta et replia son large voile, et elle remit ses vêtements de veuve.

And she arose and she went and she removed veil her from on her and she put on [the] clothes of widowhood her.

20 De son côté, Juda donna le chevreau à son pâtre d'Odollam, pour qu'il retirât ses gages des mains de la femme; mais celui-ci ne put la trouver.

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.

21 Il interrogea les hommes du lieu: Où est la prostituée qui s'est assise à Enan sur le chemin? Ils lui dirent qu'il n'y avait pas de prostituée dans le pays.

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.

22 Et il retourna près de Juda. Je n'ai trouvé personne, dit-il, et les hommes du lieu affirment qu'il n'y a point chez eux de prostituée.

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.

23 Et Juda dit: Qu'elle retienne les gages, mais que l'on se garde de nous faire des reproches: car j'ai envoyé le chevreau, et tu n'as point trouvé la personne.

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.

24 Or, il advint, trois mois après, que des gens allèrent trouver Juda, disant: Thamar, ta bru, s'est prostituée, et elle a conçu de sa prostitution; et Juda dit: Qu'on l'amène et qu'elle soit brûlée.

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.

25 Comme on l'emmenait, elle envoya à son beau-père, disant: C'est de l'homme à qui ces choses appartiennent que j'ai conçu; et elle ajouta: Reconnais à qui sont l'anneau, le petit collier et la baguette.

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.

26 Et Juda les reconnut, et il dit: Thamar est plus juste que moi, car je ne l'ai point donnée à Séla mon fils. Mais il ne la connut plus de nouveau.

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.

27 Or, il advint, lorsqu'elle allait enfanter, que deux jumeaux étaient dans ses entrailles.

And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.
