Genesis 38

По онова време Юда слезе от братята си и отиде при един одоламец на име Ира.

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

И Юда видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея.

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

И тя забременя и роди син, и той го нарече Ир.

And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

И пак забременя и роди син, и тя го нарече Онан.

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

И пак роди син и го нарече Шела. А Юда беше в Ахзив, когато тя го роди.

And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

След време Юда взе за първородния си син Ир жена на име Тамар.

And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

А Ир, първородният на Юда, беше лош пред ГОСПОДА и ГОСПОД го уби.

And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

Тогава Юда каза на Онан: Влез при жената на брат си и изпълни към нея длъжността на девер, и въздигни потомство на брат си.

And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

Но Онан знаеше, че потомството нямаше да бъде негово, и затова, когато влизаше при жената на брат си, изливаше семето си на земята, за да не даде потомството на брат си.

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

А това, което правеше, беше зло пред ГОСПОДА; затова уби и него.

And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Тогава Юда каза на снаха си Тамар: Живей като вдовица в бащиния си дом, докато отрасне синът ми Шела; защото си казваше: Да не би и той да умре като братята си. И така, Тамар отиде и живя в бащиния си дом.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

След дълго време, дъщерята на Суя, жената на Юда, умря. И когато Юда се утеши, отиде при стригачите на овцете си в Тамна, той и приятелят му, одоламецът Ира.

And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

И съобщиха на Тамар и казаха: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овцете си.

And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

Тогава тя съблече вдовишките си дрехи, покри се с покривало, обви се и седна при входа на Енаим, който е по пътя за Тамна, защото видя, че Шела беше пораснал, а тя не му беше дадена за жена.

And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, 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 unto him to wife.

А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница, защото беше покрила лицето си.

When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

И той се отби при нея на пътя и каза: Остави ме, моля те, да вляза при теб; защото не позна, че беше снаха му. И тя каза: Какво ще ми дадеш, за да влезеш при мен?

And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?

А той каза: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. А тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, докато го изпратиш?

And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?

Той каза: Какъв залог да ти дам? И тя каза: Печата си, ширита си и тоягата си, която е в ръката ти. И той й ги даде и влезе при нея, и тя забременя от него.

And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

После тя стана и си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи.

And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

А Юда изпрати ярето чрез ръката на приятеля си, одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената, но той не я намери.

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.

Затова попита хората от онова място, като каза: Къде е посветената, която беше на пътя при Енаим? А те казаха: Тук не е имало посветена.

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.

И той се върна при Юда и каза: Не я намерих, а и хората от онова място казаха: Тук не е имало посветена.

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.

И Юда каза: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех. Ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери.

And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

Около три месеца след това съобщиха на Юда и казаха: Снаха ти Тамар блудства, и ето, бременна е от блудството. А Юда каза: Изведете я да се изгори!

And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.

А когато я извеждаха, тя изпрати до свекъра си да му кажат: От човека, чиито са тези неща, съм бременна. Каза още: Познай, моля те, чии са този печат, този ширит и тази тояга.

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 thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

И Юда ги позна и каза: Тя е по-права от мен, защото не я дадох на сина си Шела. И не я позна вече.

And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

И когато дойде времето й да роди, ето, имаше близнаци в утробата й.

And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

И като раждаше, едното протегна ръка и акушерката взе и върза червен конец на ръката му и каза: Този излезе пръв.

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

А като дръпна назад ръката си, ето, излезе брат му. И тя каза: Какъв пролом си отвори ти? Затова го нарекоха Фарес.

And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.

После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него нарекоха Зара.

And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
