1And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.2And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.3And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.4And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.5And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.6And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.7And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.11Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did . And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.12And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.13And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.14And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.15When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.16And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?17And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it ?18And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.19And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.20And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.21Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place .22And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place .23And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.24And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.25When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.26And Judah acknowledged them , and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.27And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.28And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.29And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.30And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
1وَحَدَثَ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ أَنَّ يَهُوذَا نَزَلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَمَالَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ عَدُلاَّمِيٍّ اسْمُهُ حِيرَةُ.2وَنَظَرَ يَهُوذَا هُنَاكَ ابْنَةَ رَجُلٍ كَنْعَانِيٍّ اسْمُهُ شُوعٌ، فَأَخَذَهَا وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا3فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً وَدَعَا اسْمَهُ عِيراً.4ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضاً وَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً وَدَعَتِ اسْمَهُ أُونَانَ.5ثُمَّ عَادَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ أَيْضاً ابْناً وَدَعَتِ اسْمَهُ شِيلَةَ. وَكَانَ فِي كَزِيبَ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُ.6وَأَخَذَ يَهُوذَا زَوْجَةً لِعِيرٍ بِكْرِهِ اسْمُهَا ثَامَارُ.7وَكَانَ عِيرٌ بِكْرُ يَهُوذَا شِرِّيراً فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، فَأَمَاتَهُ الرَّبُّ.8فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لأُونَانَ، ادْخُلْ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ أَخِيكَ وَتَزَوَّجْ بِهَا، وَأَقِمْ نَسْلاً لأَخِيكَ.9فَعَلِمَ أُونَانُ أَنَّ النَّسْلَ لاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ. فَكَانَ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَةِ أَخِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَفْسَدَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، لِكَيْ لاَ يُعْطِيَ نَسْلاً لأَخِيهِ.10فَقَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مَا فَعَلَهُ، فَأَمَاتَهُ أَيْضاً.11فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا لِثَامَارَ كَنَّتِهِ، اقْعُدِي أَرْمَلَةً فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيكِ حَتَّى يَكْبُرَ شِيلَةُ ابْنِي. لأَنَّهُ قَالَ، لَعَلَّهُ يَمُوتُ هُوَ أَيْضاً كَأَخَوَيْهِ. فَمَضَتْ ثَامَارُ وَقَعَدَتْ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا.12وَلَمَّا طَالَ الزَّمَانُ مَاتَتِ ابْنَةُ شُوعٍ امْرَأَةُ يَهُوذَا. ثُمَّ تَعَزَّى يَهُوذَا فَصَعِدَ إِلَى جُزَّازِ غَنَمِهِ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ، هُوَ وَحِيرَةُ صَاحِبُهُ الْعَدُلاَّمِيُّ.13فَأُخْبِرَتْ ثَامَارُ، هُوَذَا حَمُوكِ صَاعِدٌ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ لِيَجُزَّ غَنَمَهُ.14فَخَلَعَتْ عَنْهَا ثِيَابَ تَرَمُّلِهَا، وَتَغَطَّتْ بِبُرْقُعٍ وَتَلَفَّفَتْ، وَجَلَسَتْ فِي مَدْخَلِ عَيْنَايِمَ الَّتِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ تِمْنَةَ لأَنَّهَا رَأَتْ أَنَّ شِيلَةَ قَدْ كَبِرَ وَهِيَ لَمْ تُعْطَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً.15فَنَظَرَهَا يَهُوذَا وَحَسِبَهَا زَانِيَةً، لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ غَطَّتْ وَجْهَهَا.16فَمَالَ إِلَيْهَا عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ وَقَالَ، هَاتِي أَدْخُلْ عَلَيْكِ. لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهَا كَنَّتُهُ. فَقَالَتْ، مَاذَا تُعْطِينِي لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ.17فَقَالَ، إِنِّي أُرْسِلُ جَدْيَ مِعْزَى مِنَ الْغَنَمِ. فَقَالَتْ، هَلْ تُعْطِينِي رَهْناً حَتَّى تُرْسِلَهُ.18فَقَالَ، مَا الرَّهْنُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيكِ. فَقَالَتْ، خَاتِمُكَ وَعِصَابَتُكَ وَعَصَاكَ الَّتِي فِي يَدِكَ. فَأَعْطَاهَا وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا. فَحَبِلَتْ مِنْهُ.19ثُمَّ قَامَتْ وَمَضَتْ وَخَلَعَتْ عَنْهَا بُرْقُعَهَا وَلَبِسَتْ ثِيَابَ تَرَمُّلِهَا.20فَأَرْسَلَ يَهُوذَا جَدْيَ الْمِعْزَى بِيَدِ صَاحِبِهِ الْعَدُلاَّمِيِّ لِيَأْخُذَ الرَّهْنَ مِنْ يَدِ الْمَرْأَةِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْهَا.21فَسَأَلَ أَهْلَ مَكَانِهَا، أَيْنَ الزَّانِيَةُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي عَيْنَايِمَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. فَقَالُوا، لَمْ تَكُنْ هَهُنَا زَانِيَةٌ.22فَرَجَعَ إِلَى يَهُوذَا وَقَالَ، لَمْ أَجِدْهَا. وَأَهْلُ الْمَكَانِ أَيْضاً قَالُوا، لَمْ تَكُنْ هَهُنَا زَانِيَةٌ.23فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا، لِتَأْخُذْ لِنَفْسِهَا، لِئَلاَّ نَصِيرَ إِهَانَةً. إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ هَذَا الْجَدْيَ وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَجِدْهَا.24وَلَمَّا كَانَ نَحْوُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ أُخْبِرَ يَهُوذَا وَقِيلَ لَهُ، قَدْ زَنَتْ ثَامَارُ كَنَّتُكَ. وَهَا هِيَ حُبْلَى أَيْضاً مِنَ الزِّنَا. فَقَالَ يَهُوذَا، أَخْرِجُوهَا فَتُحْرَقَ.25أَمَّا هِيَ فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَتْ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى حَمِيهَا قَائِلَةً، مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي هَذِهِ لَهُ أَنَا حُبْلَى. وَقَالَتْ، حَقِّقْ لِمَنِ الْخَاتِمُ وَالْعِصَابَةُ وَالْعَصَا هَذِهِ.26فَتَحَقَّقَهَا يَهُوذَا وَقَالَ، هِيَ أَبَرُّ مِنِّي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِهَا لِشِيلَةَ ابْنِي. فَلَمْ يَعُدْ يَعْرِفُهَا أَيْضاً.27وَفِي وَقْتِ وِلاَدَتِهَا إِذَا فِي بَطْنِهَا تَوْأَمَانِ.28وَكَانَ فِي وِلاَدَتِهَا أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمَا أَخْرَجَ يَداً فَأَخَذَتِ الْقَابِلَةُ وَرَبَطَتْ عَلَى يَدِهِ قِرْمِزاً، قَائِلَةً، هَذَا خَرَجَ أَوَّلاً.29وَلَكِنْ حِينَ رَدَّ يَدَهُ، إِذَا أَخُوهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ. فَقَالَتْ، لِمَاذَا اقْتَحَمْتَ. عَلَيْكَ اقْتِحَامٌ. فَدُعِيَ اسْمُهُ فَارَصَ.30وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ أَخُوهُ الَّذِي عَلَى يَدِهِ الْقِرْمِزُ. فَدُعِيَ اسْمُهُ زَارَحَ.
