1Ke pacl sac pacna Judah el som liki mwet wial, ac muta yurin mwet se pangpang Hirah, su ma in siti srisrik Adullam.
1About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
2Ke el muta we el sun tulik mutan Canaan se, su ma natul Shua. Na el payukyak sel,
2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
3ac mutan sac osweang wen se nu sel, ac Judah el sang inen tulik sac Er.
3So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
4Mutan sac sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se, ac sang inel Onan.
4Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
5Na el sifilpa oswela wen se, ac sang inel Shelah. Judah el muta Achzib ke mutan sac oswella Shelah.
5Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
6Judah el konauk mutan se pangpang Tamar kial Er, wen se omeet natul.
6Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7Elah lal Er arulana koluk ac aktoasrye LEUM GOD , ke ma inge LEUM GOD El unilya.
7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
8Na Judah el fahk nu sel Onan, tamulel lal Er, “Fahla ona yurin katinmas kien tamulel lom, ac akfalye ma kunom nu sel, tuh in oasr fita nutin ma lim.”
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.”
9Tusruktu Onan el etu lah tulik el ac orala uh ac tia oaoa mu ma natul, ouinge pacl nukewa el ac ona yurin katinmas sac, el ac okoalla nu saya, tuh in wangin tulik nutin tamulel lal.
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.
10Ma el oru inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD , ac LEUM GOD El unilya pac.
10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
11Na Judah el fahk nu sel Tamar, acn talupal, “Folokla ac muta yurin papa tomom, ac mutangan katinmas na nwe ke na Shelah, wen nutik, el matula.” El fahk ouinge mweyen el sensen ac anwuki pac Shelah oana tamulel luo lal ah. Ke ma inge Tamar el folokla nu yen sel ah.
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.
12Tok kutu, na mutan kial Judah ah misa. Ke safla eoksra lal, el ac Hirah, kawuk lal in acn Adullam, som nu Timnah, yen ma kalkul sheep natul uh we.
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.
13Mwet se fahkang nu sel Tamar lah papa tumun mukul tumal ah el som nu Timnah in kal sheep natul we.
13When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
14Ouinge Tamar el ayaolla liki nuknuk in katinmas lal ma el muta nukum, afinya mutal ke mwe lisrlisr, ac pituki muta ke acn in utyak nu Enaim, sie siti srisrik sisken inkanek nu Timnah. In etu lal uh, Shelah, wen se ma fusr oemeet natul Judah, el matula tari in pacl se inge, a tiana itukyang Tamar elan payukyak sel.
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.
15Ke Judah el liyalak, el nunku mu sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal pa el, mweyen el afinya mutal.
15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
16El fahla nwe yorol sisken inkanek ah, ac fahk, “Kwal, lupa su molum?” (Judah el tiana etu lah mutan sac ma talupal.) Tamar el fahk, “Mea kom ac se?”
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.
17Ac Judah el topuk, “Nga ac supwama soko nani fusr ah liki un kosro nutik.” Na Tamar el fahk, “Kwal, se sie mwe akpwaye an in oan yuruk nwe ke na kom supwama nani an.”
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.”
18Ac Judah el siyuk, “Mea nga ac sot in mwe akpwaye wulela luk?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Sil se lom ingan wi ah nu kac an, oayapa sikal soko lom ma kom us ingan.” Judah el sang ma inge kewa nu sel, na el ona yorol ac Tamar el pitutuyak sel.
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.
19Tamar el folokla nu lohm sel, eisla mwe lisrlisr ke mutal, ac sifilpa nokomwang nuknuk in katinmas lal.
19Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
20Judah el supwalla Hirah, kawuk lal, in usla nani uh ac folokonma mwe akpwaye ma el tuh sang nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu Hirah el tuh tia ku in konalak.
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.
21El siyuk sin kutu mukul Enaim, “Pia mutan kosro se ma tuh muta pe inkanek uh ah?” Ac elos topuk, “Wanginna mutan kosro yenu.”
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.
22Hirah el folokla nu yorol Judah ac fahk, “Nga tia ku in konalak. Mukul in acn sac fahk mu soenna oasr mutan kosro in acn sac.”
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.’”
23Judah el fahk, “Tari elan eis lal ma yorol an. Kut tia lungse mwet in isrun kut. Nga srike ngan moli nu sel, tuh pa kom tia konalak an.”
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.”
24Ac malem tolu ma tok, mwet se fahk nu sel Judah, “Tamar, acn talupom, el orekma oana mutan kosro se, ac inge el pitutu.” Ac Judah el sap, “Usalla, esukulak elan misa!”
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!”
25Ke elos amakunulla Tamar, el sap elos in fahkang kas inge nu sin papa talupal: “Nga pitutuyak sin mwet se la ma inge. Srike liye lah lun su — sil se inge wi ah soko nu kac uh, ac sikal soko.”
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?”
26Judah el akilenak ma inge ac fahk, “Pwaye sel, wangin mwatal. Nga tafongla ke ma kunuk nu sel. Pwayeiya uh, nga ac eisalang Shelah tumal.” Ac Judah el tiana sifilpa oan yorol.
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.
27Ke sun pacl in isus lal, koneyukyak lah el ac oswe fak se.
27When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
28Ke pacl se el oswe tulik inge, sie seltal isongla paol nu saya, na mutan akisus sac sruokya, ac kapriya turet srusra soko kac, ac fahk, “El uh pa isusla meet uh.”
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.
29Tusruktu tulik sac folokonak paol, ac ma se ngia tuh isusla meet lukel. Na mutan akisus sac fahk, “Ya pa nge luman illa lom uh? Kom sifacna fokolma inkanek lom.” Ouinge itukyang inen tulik sac Perez.
29But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.
30Na tulik se wial ah isusla, ac turet srusra soko ah oanna ke paol, na itukyang inel Zerah.
30Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
