Kenehi 38

1 I taua wa ka maunu atu a Hura I roto i ona tuakana, a peka ana ki tetahi Aturami, ko Hira tona ingoa.

And it came to pass at that time that Judas went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Odollam, whose name was Iras.

2 A kitea ana e Hura i reira te tamahine a tetahi Kanaani, ko Huaha tona ingoa: na ka tango ia i a ia, a haere ana ki roto, ki a ia.

And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.

3 Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ere:

And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.

4 Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Onana.

And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.

5 A ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Heraha: i Ketipi hoki te tane i tona whanautanga.

And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.

6 Na ka tangohia e Hura he wahine ma Ere, ma tana matamua, ko tona ingoa ko Tamara.

And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.

7 He tangata kino a Ere matamua a Hura ki ta Ihowa titiro; a whakamatea ana ia e Ihowa.

And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.

8 Na ka mea a Hura ki a Onana, Haere ki roto, ki te wahine a tou tuakana, hei whakakapi mo te whawharua, kia whai uri ai tou tuakana.

And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9 I mohio ano a Onana e kore e waiho te uri mona; a, i tona haerenga ki te wahine a tona tuakana, na ka tukua e ia kia heke atu ki te whenua, kei hoatu e ia he uri ki tona tuakana.

And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife.

10 He kino hoki tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro: na ka whakamatea hoki ia.

And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.

11 Katahi ka mea a Hura ki a Tamara, ki tana hunaonga, Me noho pouaru koe ki te whare o tou papa, kia kaumatua ra ano a Heraha, taku tama; i mea hoki ia, Kei mate ano hoki tenei, kei pera me ona tuakana. Na ka haere a Tamara, a noho ana i te whare o tona papa.

And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.

12 A, ka maha nga ra, ka mate te tamahine a Huaha, te wahine a Hura; a ka marie a Hura, a ka haere raua ko tona hoa ko Hira Aturami ki runga ki Timinata, ki ana kaikutikuti hipi.

And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.

13 A ka korerotia ki a Tamara, ka meatia, Ko tou hungawai tenei te haere ake nei ki Timinata, ki te kutikuti i ana hipi.

And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.

14 Na ka whakarerea atu e ia ona kakahu pouaru, ka hipoki i a ia ki tona arai, roropi tonu ki a ia, a ka noho i te tomokanga ki Enaima, i te huarahi ki Timinata; i kite hoki ia kua kaumatua a Heraha, a kahore ano ia i hoatu hei wahine mana.

And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.

15 Na, ka kite a Hura i a ia, hua noa ia he wahine kairau; no te mea i hipokina tona mata.

And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.

16 Na ka peka ia ki te ara ki a ia, ka mea, Tukua atu ahau, ne? kia haere atu ki a koe; kihai hoki ia i mohio ko tana hunaonga ia. A ka mea ia, He aha tau e homai ai ki ahau, ki te haere mai koe ki ahau?

And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?

17 A ka mea ia, Ka tukua atu e ahau tetahi kuao koati o te kahui. A ka mea ia, Ka homai ranei e koe tetahi taunaha ki ahau, kia tukua mai ra ano taua mea e koe?

And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.

18 A ka mea ia, He aha te taunaha e hoatu e ahau ki a koe? Ka mea ia, Ko tou hiri, me au tau, me tau tokotoko i tou ringa. Na ka hoatu e ia ki a ia, a ka haere atu ia ki a ia, a ka hapu ia i a ia.

And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

19 Na ka whakatika ia, a haere ana, whakarerea ana e ia tona arai, a kakahuria iho ona kakahu pouaru.

And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 Na ka hoatu te kuao koati e Hura kia kawea e tona hoa e te Aturami, ki te tiki i te taunaha i te ringa o te wahine; a kihai ia i kitea.

And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.

21 A ka ui ia ki nga tangata o taua wahi, ka mea, Kei hea te wahine kairau i Enaima nei i te taha o te ara? A ka mea ratou, Kahore he wahine kairau i konei.

And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.

22 Na ka hoki ia ki a Hura, ka mea, Kahore ia i kitea e ahau; e mea ana hoki nga tangata o tera wahi, kahore he wahine kairau i reira.

And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.

23 Na ka mea a Hura, Tukua kia tangohia e ia, kei tawaia taua: titiro hoki, kua tukua atu nei e ahau te kuao nei, a kihai ia i kitea e koe.

And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.

24 A ka toru nga marama, na ka korerotia ki a Hura, ka meatia, Kua kairau a Tamara, tau hunaonga; kua hapu ano hoki ia i ona kairautanga. A ka mea a Hura, Kawea ki waho, kia tahuna.

And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.

25 A, ka kawea ia ki waho, ka tono tangata ia ki tona hungawai, ka mea, Na te tangata nana enei mea toku hapu: i mea ano ia, Tena, tirohia, na wai enei, te hiri nei, me nga tau, me te tokotoko.

And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.

26 Na ka mohiotia e Hura, a ka mea ia, Nui atu tona tika i toku; kihai hoki ia i hoatu e ahau ki a Heraha, ki taku tama. A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia i muri iho.

And Judas knew [them], and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.

27 A ka taka ki te wa e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.

And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.

28 A, i tona whanautanga, na ka torona te ringa o tetahi: na ka mau te kaiwhakawhanau ki te miro whero, a herea ana ki tona ringa, ka mea, Ko tenei i puta mai i mua.

And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first.

29 A, i tana whakahokinga atu i tona ringa, na ka puta mai tona tuakana; a ka mea ia, Ka tae tou pakaru mai! nau te pakaru mai: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Parete.

And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.

30 A muri iho ka puta tona teina, i herea nei tona ringa ki te miro whero: a ka huaina tona ingoa ko Teraha.

And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
