Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
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。
2There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to 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，
3She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
3她就怀孕生了儿子， 犹大 给他起名叫 珥 。
4She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
4她又怀孕生了儿子，母亲给他起名叫 俄南 。
5She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
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 。
6Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
6犹大 为长子 珥 娶妻，名叫 她玛 。
7Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed 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。
8Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your 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。」
9Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.
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。
10The thing which he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, and he killed him also.
10俄南 所做的在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华也就叫他死了。
11Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived 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。
12After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.
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。
13Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
13有人告诉 她玛 说：「你的公公上 亭拿 剪羊毛去了。」
14She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.
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 Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
15犹大 看见她，以为是妓女，因为她蒙着脸。
16He turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
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 you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”
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？」
18He said, “What pledge will I give you?” She said, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
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。
19She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and 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。
20Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t find 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，
21Then he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?” They said, “There has been no prostitute here.”
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 Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”
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。』」
23Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found 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。」
24About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
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！」
25When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”
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？」
26Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again 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。
27In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
27她玛 将要生产，不料她腹里是一对双生。
28When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This came out 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。」
29As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.
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 。
30Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
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 。
