Genesis 38

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.

Otprilike u to vrijeme Juda ode od svoje braće te okrenu nekom Adulamcu komu ime bijaše Hira.

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

Tu Juda zapazi kćer jednog Kanaanca - zvao se Šua - i njome se oženi. Priđe njoj

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

te ona zače i rodi sina, komu dade ime Er.

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

Opet ona zače, rodi sina i dade mu ime Onan.

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

Još jednog sina rodi te mu nadjene ime Šela. Nalazila se u Kezibu kad je njega rodila.

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

Juda oženi svoga prvorođenca Era djevojkom kojoj bijaše ime Tamara.

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

Ali Judin prvorođenac Er uvrijedi Jahvu i Jahve ga pogubi.

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

Tada reče Juda Onanu: "Priđi k udovici svoga brata, izvrši prema njoj djeversku dužnost i tako očuvaj lozu svome bratu!"

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.

Ali Onan, znajući da se sjeme neće računati kao njegovo, ispuštaše ga na zemlju kad god bi prišao bratovoj udovici, tako da ne dade potomstva svome bratu.

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

To što je činio uvrijedilo je Jahvu, pa i njega pogubi.

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.

Onda Juda reče svojoj nevjesti Tamari: "Ostani kao udovica u domu svoga oca dok poodraste moj sin Šela." Bojao se, naime, da bi i on mogao umrijeti kao i njegova braća. I tako Tamara ode da živi u očevu domu.

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.

Dugo vremena poslije toga umre Šuina kći, Judina žena. Kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, Juda ode, zajedno sa svojim prijateljem Adulamcem Hirom, u Timnu da striže svoje ovce.

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

Obavijeste Tamaru: "Eno ti je svekar", rekoše joj, "na putu u Timnu da striže ovce."

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.

Ona svuče udovičko ruho, navuče koprenu i zamota se pa sjede na ulazu u Enajim, što je na putu k Timni. Vidjela je, naime, da je Šela odrastao, ali nju još ne udaše za nj.

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

Kad je Juda opazi, pomisli da je bludnica, jer je bila pokrila lice.

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?

Svrati se on k njoj i reče: "Daj da ti priđem!" Nije znao da mu je nevjesta. A ona odgovori: "Što ćeš mi dati da uđeš k meni?"

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?

"Spremit ću ti jedno kozle od svoga stada", odgovori. "Treba da ostaviš jamčevinu dok ga ne pošalješ."

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.

A on zapita: "Kakvu jamčevinu da ti ostavim?" Ona odgovori: "Svoj pečatnjak o vrpci i štap što ti je u ruci." Dade joj jedno i drugo, a onda priđe k njoj i ona po njem zače.

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

Potom ona ustade i ode; skide sa sebe koprenu i opet se odjenu u svoje udovičko ruho.

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.

Uto Juda pošalje kozle po svom prijatelju Adulamcu da iskupi jamčevinu iz ruku žene, ali je nije mogao naći.

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.

Upita ljude u mjestu: "Gdje je bludnica što se nalazila uz put u Enajim?" Oni mu odgovore: "Ovdje nije nikad bilo bludnice."

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.

Tako se on vrati k Judi pa reče: "Nisam je mogao naći. Osim toga, ljudi mi u mjestu rekoše da ondje nije nikad bilo bludnice."

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

Onda reče Juda: "Da ne ostanemo za ruglo, neka ih drži! Slao sam joj, eto, ovo kozle, ali je ti nisi našao."

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.

Otprilike poslije tri mjeseca donesoše vijest Judi: "Tvoja nevjesta Tamara odala se bludništvu; čak je u bludničenju i začela." "Izvedite je", naredi Juda, "pa neka se spali!"

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.

Dok su je izvodili, ona poruči svekru: "Začela sam po čovjeku čije je ovo." Još doda: "Vidi čiji je ovaj pečatnjak o vrpci i ovaj štap!"

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.

Juda ih prepozna pa reče: "Ona je pravednija nego ja, koji joj nisam dao svoga sina Šelu." Ali više s njom nije imao posla.

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

Kad joj je došlo vrijeme da rodi, pokaže se da nosi blizance.

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.

Dok je rađala, jedan od njih pruži ruku van. Nato babica priveže za njegovu ruku crven konac govoreći: "Ovaj je izišao prvi."

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.

Ali baš tada on uvuče ruku te iziđe njegov brat. A ona reče: "Kakav li proder napravi!" Stoga mu nadjenu ime Peres.

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

Poslije iziđe njegov brat koji je oko ruke imao crveni konac. Njemu dadoše ime Zerah.
