و واقع شد در آن زمان که یهودا ازنزد برادران خود رفته، نزد شخصی عدلامی، که حیره نام داشت، مهمان شد. ۱ 1
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
و درآنجا یهودا، دختر مرد کنعانی را که مسمی به شوعه بود، دید و او را گرفته، بدو درآمد. ۲ 2
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in to her.
پس آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را عیر نام نهاد. ۳ 3
And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
وبار دیگر آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را اونان نامید. ۴ 4
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
و باز هم پسری زاییده، او را شیله نام گذارد. و چون او را زایید، یهودا در کزیب بود. ۵ 5
And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
و یهودا، زنی مسمی به تامار، برای نخست زاده خود عیر گرفت. ۶ 6
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
و نخست زاده یهودا، عیر، در نظر خداوند شریر بود، و خداونداو را بمیراند. ۷ 7
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
پس یهودا به اونان گفت: «به زن برادرت درآی، و حق برادر شوهری را بجاآورده، نسلی برای برادر خود پیدا کن.» ۸ 8
And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother.
لکن چونکه اونان دانست که آن نسل از آن او نخواهدبود، هنگامی که به زن برادر خود درآمد، بر زمین انزال کرد، تا نسلی برای برادر خود ندهد. ۹ 9
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
و این کار او در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد، پس او را نیزبمیراند. ۱۰ 10
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: why he slew him also.
و یهودا به عروس خود، تامار گفت: «در خانه پدرت بیوه بنشین تا پسرم شیله بزرگ شود.» زیرا گفت: «مبادا او نیز مثل برادرانش بمیرد.» پس تامار رفته، در خانه پدر خود ماند. ۱۱ 11
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at your father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brothers did. And Tamar went and dwelled in her father’s house.
و چون روزها سپری شد، دختر شوعه زن یهودا مرد. و یهودا بعد از تعزیت او با دوست خود حیره عدلامی، نزد پشم‌چینان گله خود، به تمنه آمد. ۱۲ 12
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
و به تامار خبر داده، گفتند: «اینک پدرشوهرت برای چیدن پشم گله خویش، به تمنه می‌آید.» ۱۳ 13
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold your father in law goes up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
پس رخت بیوگی را از خویشتن بیرون کرده، برقعی به رو کشیده، خود را درچادری پوشید، و به دروازه عینایم که در راه تمنه است، بنشست. زیرا که دید شیله بزرگ شده است، و او را به وی به زنی ندادند. ۱۴ 14
And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him to wife.
چون یهودااو را بدید، وی را فاحشه پنداشت، زیرا که روی خود را پوشیده بود. ۱۵ 15
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
پس از راه به سوی او میل کرده، گفت: «بیا تابه تو درآیم.» زیرا ندانست که عروس اوست. گفت: «مرا چه می‌دهی تا به من درآیی.» ۱۶ 16
And he turned to her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray you, let me come in to you; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What will you give me, that you may come in to me?
گفت: «بزغاله‌ای از گله می‌فرستم.» گفت: «آیا گرومی دهی تا بفرستی.» ۱۷ 17
And he said, I will send you a kid from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge, till you send it?
گفت: «تو را چه گرودهم.» گفت: «مهر و زنار خود را و عصایی که دردست داری.» پس به وی داد، و بدو درآمد، و او ازوی آبستن شد. ۱۸ 18
And he said, What pledge shall I give you? And she said, Your signet, and your bracelets, and your staff that is in your hand. And he gave it her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
و برخاسته، برفت. و برقع را ازخود برداشته، رخت بیوگی پوشید. ۱۹ 19
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
و یهودا بزغاله را به‌دست دوست عدلامی خود فرستاد، تا گرو را از دست آن زن بگیرد، امااو را نیافت. ۲۰ 20
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
و از مردمان آن مکان پرسیده، گفت: «آن فاحشه‌ای که سر راه عینایم نشسته بود، کجاست؟» گفتند: «فاحشه‌ای در اینجا نبود.» ۲۱ 21
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
پس نزد یهودا برگشته، گفت: «او را نیافتم، ومردمان آن مکان نیز می‌گویند که فاحشه‌ای دراینجا نبود.» ۲۲ 22
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
یهودا گفت: «بگذار برای خودنگاه دارد، مبادا رسوا شویم. اینک بزغاله رافرستادم و تو او را نیافتی.» ۲۳ 23
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.
و بعد از سه ماه یهودا را خبر داده، گفتند: «عروس تو تامار، زناکرده است و اینک از زنا نیز آبستن شده.» پس یهودا گفت: «وی را بیرون آرید تا سوخته شود!» ۲۴ 24
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar your daughter in law has played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by prostitution. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
چون او را بیرون می‌آوردند نزد پدر شوهر خود فرستاده، گفت: «از مالک این چیزها آبستن شده‌ام، و گفت: «تشخیص کن که این مهر و زنار وعصا از آن کیست.» ۲۵ 25
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray you, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
و یهودا آنها را شناخت، وگفت: «او از من بی‌گناه تر است، زیرا که او را به پسر خود شیله ندادم. و بعد او را دیگر نشناخت. ۲۶ 26
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She has been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
و چون وقت وضع حملش رسید، اینک توامان در رحمش بودند. ۲۷ 27
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
و چون می‌زایید، یکی دست خود را بیرون آورد که در حال قابله ریسمانی قرمز گرفته، بر دستش بست و گفت: «این اول بیرون آمد.» ۲۸ 28
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
و دست خود را بازکشید. و اینک برادرش بیرون آمد و قابله گفت: «چگونه شکافتی، این شکاف بر تو باد.» پس او را فارص نام نهاد. ۲۹ 29
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How have you broken forth? this breach be on you: therefore his name was called Pharez.
بعد از آن برادرش که ریسمان قرمز را بردست داشت بیرون آمد، و او را زارح نامید. ۳۰ 30
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread on his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
