Genesis 38

Si Juda ug si Tamar

1Niadto usab nga panahon, mibulag si Juda sa iyang mga igsoon ug didto siya mipuyo uban kang Hira nga taga-Adulam. 2Nakita ni Juda didto ang anak ni Shua nga Canaanhon ug gipangasawa niya kini. 3Namabdos ang asawa ni Juda, ug nanganak kini ug lalaki nga ginganlan ni Juda ug Er. 4Namabdos siya pag-usab ug nanganak ug lalaki ug ginganlan niya kini ug Onan. 5Namabdos siya sa ikatulong higayon ug lalaki gihapon ang iyang anak ug ginganlan niya kini ug Shela. Natawo si Shela didto sa Kezib.

6Gipaasawa ni Juda kang Er, nga iyang kamagulangang anak, ang usa ka babaye nga ginganlan ug Tamar. 7Apan si Er daotan atubangan sa Ginoo, busa gipatay siya sa Ginoo.

8Unya miingon si Juda kang Onan, “Pangasaw-a ang imong bayaw kay katungdanan mo kana isip igsoon sa iyang bana nga namatay, aron pinaagi kanimo makabaton usab ug mga anak ang imong igsoon.” 9Apan nasayod si Onan nga dili isipon nga iya ang mahimong anak nila ni Tamar, busa sa matag higayon nga magdulog sila ni Tamar, dili niya ipasulod ang iyang semilya aron dili siya makaanak alang sa iyang igsoon. 10Daotan ang gibuhat ni Onan atubangan sa Ginoo, busa gipatay usab siya sa Ginoo.

11Unya miingon si Juda kang Tamar nga iyang umagad, “Pauli una sa imong amahan, ug ayaw pamana hangtod nga maulitawo na si Shela.” Giingon kadto ni Juda kay nahadlok siya nga mamatay usab si Shela sama sa iyang mga igsoon. Busa mipauli si Tamar sa iyang amahan.

12Miabot ang panahon, namatay ang anak ni Shua nga asawa ni Juda. Pagkahuman sa iyang pagbangotan, miadto siya sa mga tigtupi sa iyang mga karnero didto sa Timnah. Kauban niya sa pag-adto ang iyang amigo nga si Hira nga taga-Adulam.

13Adunay misulti kang Tamar nga miadto sa Timnah ang iyang ugangan aron pagpanupi sa iyang mga karnero. 14Pagkadungog niadto ni Tamar, giilisan niya ang iyang gisul-ob nga bisti nga alang sa balo, ug gitabonan niya ug belo ang iyang nawong. Unya milingkod siya dapit sa pultahan sa lungsod sa Enaim, sa daplin sa dalan nga paingon sa Timnah. (Gihimo niya kini tungod kay nakita niya nga ulitawo na si Shela apan wala gihapon siya ipaasawa kaniya.)

15-16Sa pagkakita ni Juda kang Tamar sa daplin sa dalan, gipakaingon niya ug usa kini ka babayeng nagbaligya sa iyang dungog, kay aduna may tabon ang nawong niini. Busa miduol siya kang Tamar (nga wala niya mailhi nga iya diayng umagad) ug miingon, “Dali, magdulog kita.”

Mitubag si Tamar, “Unsa may imong ibayad kanako sa pagpakigdulog ko kanimo?”

17Miingon si Juda, “Hatagan ka nako ug kanding gikan sa akong kahayopan.”

Mitubag si Tamar, “Mosugot ako kon aduna kay ihatag kanako nga garantiya hangtod nga ikapadala mo na ang kanding.”

18-19Nangutana si Juda, “Unsay gusto nimo nga akong igarantiya?”

Mitubag si Tamar, “Ihatag kanako ang imong silyo apil ang higot niini, ug ang imong baston.” Busa gihatag kadto ni Juda ug nakigdulog siya kang Tamar. Human niadto mipauli si Tamar. Gikuha niya ang tabon sa iyang nawong ug gisul-ob pag-usab ang bisti nga alang sa balo. Wala madugay namabdos siya.

20Gipahatod ni Juda sa iyang amigo, nga si Hira nga taga-Adulam, ang kanding aron makuha gikan sa babaye ang mga butang nga iyang gihatag ingon nga garantiya, apan wala kini makita ni Hira. 21Nangutana si Hira sa mga taga-Enaim kon hain na ang babayeng nagbaligya sa iyang dungog, nga didto maglingkod sa daplin sa dalan.

Apan mitubag ang mga tawo, “Wala may babaye dinhi nga nagbaligya sa iyang dungog.”

22Busa mibalik si Hira kang Juda ug miingon, “Wala ko siya makita. Ug matod pa sa mga tawo wala man kunoy babaye didto nga nagbaligya sa iyang dungog.”

23Miingon si Juda, “Pasagdi na! Iya na lang kadtong mga butang nga atua kaniya, kay basin ug mahimo kitang kataw-anan kon sige pa tag pangita sa wala. Gipahatdan ko na bitaw siya niining kanding, apan wala mo man kaha siya makita didto!”

24Paglabay sa tulo ka bulan, gisultihan si Juda nga ang iyang umagad nga si Tamar nagbaligya sa iyang dungog ug mabdos na gani.

Busa miingon si Juda, “Dad-a ninyo siya sa gawas sa lungsod aron sunogon.”

25Apan sa dihang gidala na si Tamar, aduna siyay gisugo aron pagsulti kang Juda niini, “Ania ang pangtimbre, apil ang higot niini, ug ang baston. Ang tag-iya niini mao ang amahan sa akong gimabdos. Palihog, susiha kon kang kinsa kini.”

26Nailhan ni Juda nga iya kadtong mga butang busa miingon siya, “Wala siyay sala. Ako ang nakasala#38:26 Wala siyay sala. Ako ang nakasala: sa literal, Mas matarong pa siya kay kanako. kay wala ko siya ipaasawa sa akong anak nga si Shela.” Ug wala na mousab ug pakigdulog si Juda kang Tamar.

27Sa dihang hapit na manganak si Tamar, nadiskobrehan niya nga kaluha ang iyang gimabdos. 28Sa dihang nagbati na siya, migawas ang kamot sa usa ka bata. Gihiktan kini sa mananabang ug higot nga pula aron mahibaloan nga siya ang una nga natawo. 29Apan gisulod pagbalik sa bata ang iyang kamot ug ang iyang kaluha mao ang una nga migawas. Miingon ang mananabang, “Nagdali ka gayod sa paggawas.” Busa ginganlan ang bata ug Perez#38:29 Perez: ang buot ipasabot, nagdali sa paggawas.. 30Unya migawas usab ang iyang kaluha nga adunay higot nga pula sa iyang kamot. Ginganlan siya ug Zera#38:30 Zera: ang buot ipasabot, nagdan-ag o pula kaayo..

Genesis 38

Judah and Tamar

1It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and #ver. 16; ch. 19:3; 2 Kgs. 4:8turned aside to a certain #1 Sam. 22:1; 2 Sam. 23:13; 1 Chr. 11:15; Mic. 1:15Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was #[1 Chr. 2:3]Shua. He took her and went in to her, 3and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name #ch. 46:12; Num. 26:19, 20Er. 4She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name #[See ver. 3 above]Onan. 5Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name #[See ver. 3 above]Shelah. Judah#38:5 Hebrew He was in Chezib when she bore him.

6And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, #1 Chr. 2:3was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord put him to death. 8Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to #Matt. 22:24; Mark 12:19; Luke 20:28your brother’s wife and #See Deut. 25:5-10perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” 9But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. 10And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also. 11Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, #[Ruth 1:12, 13] “Remain a widow in your father’s house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained #Lev. 22:13in her father’s house.

12In the course of time the wife of Judah, Shua’s daughter, died. When Judah #ch. 24:67; 37:35; 2 Sam. 13:39was comforted, he went up to #Judg. 14:1Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13And when Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 14she took off her widow’s garments #[ver. 19; ch. 24:65] and covered herself with a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to #ver. 21Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, #ver. 26and she had not been given to him in marriage. 15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 16He turned to her at the roadside and said, “Come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 17He answered, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “If you give me a pledge, until you send it—” 18He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, #ver. 25“Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him. 19Then she arose and went away, and taking off #ver. 14her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.

20When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the woman’s hand, he did not find her. 21And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the cult prostitute#38:21 Hebrew sacred woman; a woman who served a pagan deity by prostitution; also verse 22 who was at #ver. 14Enaim at the roadside?” And they said, “No cult prostitute has been here.” 22So he returned to Judah and said, “I have not found her. Also, the men of the place said, ‘No cult prostitute has been here.’” 23And Judah replied, “Let her keep the things as her own, or we shall be laughed at. You see, I sent this young goat, and you did not find her.”

24About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law #Judg. 19:2has been immoral.#38:24 Or has committed prostitution Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”#38:24 Or by prostitution And Judah said, “Bring her out, and #Lev. 21:9; [Deut. 22:21; John 8:5]let her be burned.” 25As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, #ver. 18the signet and the cord and the staff.” 26Then Judah identified them and said, #1 Sam. 24:17“She is more righteous than I, since #ver. 14I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.

27When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb. 28And when she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called #ch. 46:12; Num. 26:20; 1 Chr. 2:4; Matt. 1:3Perez.#38:29 Perez means a breach 30Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called #[See ver. 29 above]Zerah.
