1At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.
1Hnin at vaengah tah Judah te a manuca rhoek taeng lamkah suntla tih Adullami hlang, a ming te Hirah taengah pah.
2And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.
2Te vaengah Judah loh Kanaan hoel nu, a ming ah Shua a hmuh hatah pahoi a loh tih a ih puei.
3And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.
3Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun vaengah a ming te Er a sak.
4And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.
4Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih ca a cun hatah a ming te Onan a sak.
5She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
5Te phoeiah a rhaep bal tih capa a cun hatah a ming te Shelah a sak. Tedae Shelah a cun vaengah Kezib ah om.
6And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.
6Te phoeiah Judah loh a caming Er ham yuu a loh pah tih anih ming tahTamar ni.
7And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.
7Tedae Judah kah a caming Er tah BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah boethae la a om dongah anih te BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
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.
8Te dongah Judah loh Onan la, “Na maya yuu taengah kun lamtah anih te yucanah. Te phoeiah na maya ham a tii a ngan thoh pah,” a ti nah.
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.
9Tedae a tii a ngan te amah ham om hae mahpawh tila Onan loh a ming dongah, a maya yurho taengah a ih vaengah khaw diklai ah vik a san tih a maya ham tiingan khueh pah pawh.
10And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.
10Anih kah a saii te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a lolh bal dongah anih khaw BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
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.
11Te vaengah Shelah khaw a maya rhoi bangla duek ve a ti. Te dongah Judah loh a langa Tamar la, “Ka capa Shelah a pantai hil tah na pa im ah nuhmai la khosa mai ,” a ti nah. Te dongah Tamar khaw cet tih a napa im ah kho a sak.
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.
12Tedae kum a yet phoeiah tah Judah yuu Shua nute duek. Te dongah Judah khaw hal tih a tu mul aka vo neh a hui Adullami Hirah taengah Timnah la cet.
13And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.
13Te dongah, “Tu mul vok ham Timnah la na marhang cet hang ke,” a ti na tih Tamar taengla a puen pah.
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.
14Te vaengah Shelah khaw ham coeng dae anih yuu la n'khueh moenih tila Tamar loh a hmuh dongah amah dongkah nuhmai himbai te a dul. Te phoeiah hnii a yil, muei a thuh tih Timnah long kah Enaim thohka ah ngol.
15When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.
15Tedae anih te Judah loh a hmuh vaengah a hmai a dah dongah pumyoi ni tila a poek.
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?
16Anih te amah langa la a ming pawt dongah long taengla anih taengah pah tih, “Halo, nang taengah ka ip ni ne,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai taengah na kun te kai ham balae na khueh eh?,” a ti nah.
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,
17Te vaengah Judah loh, “Kamah loh boiva khuikah maae ca kan pat bit ni,” a ti nah. Tedae Tamar loh, “Nan pat hlanah hnohol han khueh dae,” a ti nah.
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.
18Te dongah, “Hnohol te balae nang taengah kan paek eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na kutbuen mai khaw, hamnak khaw, na kut kah conghol mai te khaw,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te a paek tih a kun thil dongah Judah loh Tamar a vawn sak.
19And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.
19Te phoeiah thoo tih, cet tih a pum dongkah hnii te a dul phoeiah nuhmai himbai tloep a bai.
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,
20Te dongah huta kut kah hnohol te tlan ham Judah loh a hui Adullami hoel kut ah maae ca te a pat van hatah rhawp hmu pawh.
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,
21Te dongah te hmuen kah hlang rhoek te a dawt “Enaim long taengkah hlanghalh te melae?,” a ti nah vaengah he rhoek ah hlanghalh om pawh,” a ti na uh.
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.
22Te dongah Judah taengla koep bal tih, “Anih te ka hmuh moenih. Te phoeiah he hmuen kah hlang rhoek long khaw, 'He rhoek ah hlanghalh a om moenih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
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.
23Te dongah Judah loh, “Amah neh amah te khoem uh saeh, nueihbu la n'om uh ve. Maae ca n'thak he khaw anih te na hmuh voel pawt tih he,” a ti nah.
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.
24Tedae hla thum tluk a lo vaengah Judah taengah,” Nang langa Tamar te cukhalh tih pumyoihnah neh vawn lah ko te,” a ti nah tih a puen pa uh hatah Judah loh, “Anih te khuen uh lamtah hoeh,” a ti nah.
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.
25Anih te a mawt uh van hatah, “He rhoek he u hlang kah nim. Kai khaw tekah hlang hut la ka vawn dongah hekah kutnoek, hamnak neh conghol, ukah nim tila hmat lah saeh,” a ti nah tih a marhang taengla Tamar loh a pat.
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.
26Tedae Judah loh a hmat vaengah, “Ka capa Shelah te anih ka paek pawt dongah te kai lakah anih tang coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming ham koep khoep voel pawh.
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:
27Tedae ca-om tue vaengah tah a bung khuiah caphae rhoi la tarha om.
28This shall come forth the first.
28Te dongah camoe a om vaengah kut pakhat te han thawt dongah ca-om loh a tuuk tih, a kut dongah a lingdik a cin pah tih, “Lamhma la om coeng he,” a ti.
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.
29Tedae a kut vik a yueh tih a mana lat ha thoeng dongah, “Namah loh a puut Metlamlae nam va,” a ti nah dongah a ming te Perez a sak.
30Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called him Zara.
30Te phoeiah a kut dongah a lingdik aka om a maya te ha pawk tih a ming te Zerah a sak.
