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 Et elle ôta de dessus soi les habits de son veuvage, et se couvrit d'un voile, et s'en enveloppa, et s'assit en un carrefour qui [était] sur le chemin tirant vers Timnath; parce qu'elle voyait que Séla était devenu grand, et qu'elle ne lui avait point été donnée 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.

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

16 Et il se détourna vers elle au chemin, et lui dit: Permets, je te prie, que je vienne vers toi; car il ne savait pas que ce [fût] sa belle-fille. Et elle répondit: Que me donneras-tu afin que tu viennes vers 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.

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 arriva qu'environ trois mois [après] on fit un rapport à Juda, en disant: Tamar ta belle-fille a commis un adultère, et voici elle est même enceinte. Et Juda dit: Faites-la sortir, 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.

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.
