1Hnin at vaengah tah Judah te a manuca rhoek taeng lamkah suntla tih Adullami hlang, a ming te Hirah taengah pah.
1About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
2Te vaengah Judah loh Kanaan hoel nu, a ming ah Shua a hmuh hatah pahoi a loh tih a ih puei.
2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
3Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun vaengah a ming te Er a sak.
3So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
4Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih ca a cun hatah a ming te Onan a sak.
4Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5Te phoeiah a rhaep bal tih capa a cun hatah a ming te Shelah a sak. Tedae Shelah a cun vaengah Kezib ah om.
5Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
6Te phoeiah Judah loh a caming Er ham yuu a loh pah tih anih ming tahTamar ni.
6Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7Tedae Judah kah a caming Er tah BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah boethae la a om dongah anih te BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
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.
8Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”
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.
9But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10Anih kah a saii te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a lolh bal dongah anih khaw BOEIPA loh a duek sak.
10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
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.
11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
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.
12After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
13Te dongah, “Tu mul vok ham Timnah la na marhang cet hang ke,” a ti na tih Tamar taengla a puen pah.
13When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
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.
14she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
15Tedae anih te Judah loh a hmuh vaengah a hmai a dah dongah pumyoi ni tila a poek.
15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
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.
16Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
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.
17“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
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.
18“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19Te phoeiah thoo tih, cet tih a pum dongkah hnii te a dul phoeiah nuhmai himbai tloep a bai.
19Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
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.
20Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
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.
21He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.
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.
22So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”
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.
23“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”
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.
24About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”
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.
25As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”
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.
26Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.
27Tedae ca-om tue vaengah tah a bung khuiah caphae rhoi la tarha om.
27When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
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.
28And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.
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.
29But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
30Te phoeiah a kut dongah a lingdik aka om a maya te ha pawk tih a ming te Zerah a sak.
30Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
