Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.
1那时， 犹大 离开他弟兄下去，到一个 亚杜兰 人名叫 希拉 的家里去。
2And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.
2犹大 在那里看见一个 迦南 人名叫 书亚 的女儿，就娶她为妻，与她同房，
3And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.
3她就怀孕生了儿子， 犹大 给他起名叫 珥 。
4And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.
4她又怀孕生了儿子，母亲给他起名叫 俄南 。
5She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
5她复又生了儿子，给他起名叫 示拉 。她生 示拉 的时候， 犹大 正在 基悉 。
6And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
6犹大 为长子 珥 娶妻，名叫 她玛 。
7And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.
7犹大 的长子 珥 在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华就叫他死了。
8Juda, therefore said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother.
8犹大 对 俄南 说：「你当与你哥哥的妻子同房，向她尽你为弟的本分，为你哥哥生子立后。」
9He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
9俄南 知道生子不归自己，所以同房的时候便遗在地，免得给他哥哥留后。
10And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.
10俄南 所做的在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华也就叫他死了。
11Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt in her father’s house.
11犹大 心里说：「恐怕 示拉 也死，像他两个哥哥一样」，就对他儿妇 她玛 说：「你去，在你父亲家里守寡，等我儿子 示拉 长大。」 她玛 就回去，住在她父亲家里。
12And after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.
12过了许久， 犹大 的妻子 书亚 的女儿死了。 犹大 得了安慰，就和他朋友 亚杜兰 人 希拉 上 亭拿 去，到他剪羊毛的人那里。
13And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.
13有人告诉 她玛 说：「你的公公上 亭拿 剪羊毛去了。」
14And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.
14她玛 见 示拉 已经长大，还没有娶她为妻，就脱了她作寡妇的衣裳，用帕子蒙着脸，又遮住身体，坐在 亭拿 路上的 伊拿印 城门口。
15When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.
15犹大 看见她，以为是妓女，因为她蒙着脸。
16And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?
16犹大 就转到她那里去，说：「来吧！让我与你同寝。」他原不知道是他的儿妇。 她玛 说：「你要与我同寝，把什么给我呢？」
17He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,
17犹大 说：「我从羊群里取一只山羊羔，打发人送来给你。」 她玛 说：「在未送以先，你愿意给我一个当头吗？」
18Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.
18他说：「我给你什么当头呢？」 她玛 说：「你的印、你的带子，和你手里的杖。」 犹大 就给了她，与她同寝，她就从 犹大 怀了孕。
19And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.
19她玛 起来走了，除去帕子，仍旧穿上作寡妇的衣裳。
20And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her,
20犹大 托他朋友 亚杜兰 人送一只山羊羔去，要从那女人手里取回当头来，却找不着她，
21Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place,
21就问那地方的人说：「 伊拿印 路旁的妓女在哪里？」他们说：「这里并没有妓女。」
22He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.
22他回去见 犹大 说：「我没有找着她，并且那地方的人说：『这里没有妓女。』」
23Juda said: Let her take it to herself; surely she cannot charge us with a, lie: I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her.
23犹大 说：「我把这山羊羔送去了，你竟找不着她。任凭她拿去吧，免得我们被羞辱。」
24And behold after three months they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may be burnt.
24约过了三个月，有人告诉 犹大 说：「你的儿妇 她玛 作了妓女，且因行淫有了身孕。」 犹大 说：「拉出她来，把她烧了！」
25But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.
25她玛 被拉出来的时候便打发人去见她公公，对他说：「这些东西是谁的，我就是从谁怀的孕。请你认一认，这印和带子并杖都是谁的？」
26But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However, he knew her no more.
26犹大 承认说：「她比我更有义，因为我没有将她给我的儿子 示拉 。」从此 犹大 不再与她同寝了。
27And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying:
27她玛 将要生产，不料她腹里是一对双生。
28This shall come forth the first.
28到生产的时候，一个孩子伸出一只手来；收生婆拿红线拴在他手上，说：「这是头生的。」
29But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares.
29随后这孩子把手收回去，他哥哥生出来了；收生婆说：「你为什么抢着来呢？」因此给他起名叫 法勒斯 。
30Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
30后来，他兄弟那手上有红线的也生出来，就给他起名叫 谢拉 。
