¹Stalo se pak v ten čas, že sstupuje Juda od bratří svých, uchýlil se k muži Odolamitskému, jehož jméno bylo Híra.

¹It happened at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

²I uzřel tam Juda dceru muže Kananejského, kterýž sloul Sua; a pojav ji, všel k ní.

²Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

³Kterážto počala a porodila syna; i nazval jméno jeho Her.

³She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.

⁴A počavši opět, porodila syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Onan.

⁴She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.

⁵Porodila pak ještě syna, jehož jméno nazvala Séla. A byl Juda v Chezib, když ona jej porodila.

⁵She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.

⁶I dal Juda Herovi prvorozenému svému manželku, jménem Támar.

⁶Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

⁷A byl Her, prvorozený Judův, zlý před očima Hospodina; i zabil jej Hospodin.

⁷Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him.

⁸Tedy řekl Juda Onanovi: Vejdi k ženě bratra svého, a podlé příbuznosti pojmi ji, abys vzbudil símě bratru svému.

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 seed to your brother.”

⁹Věděl pak Onan, že to símě nebude jeho. Protož kdykoli vcházel k ženě bratra svého, vypouštěl símě na zem, aby nezplodil synů bratru svému.

⁹Onan knew that the seed wouldn’t be his; and it happened, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.

¹⁰I nelíbilo se Hospodinu to, co dělal Onan; protož ho také zabil.

¹⁰The thing which he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he killed him also.

¹¹Tedy řekl Juda k Támar nevěstě své: Pobuď v domě otce svého vdovou, dokudž nedoroste Séla, syn můj. (Nebo řekl: Aby on také neumřel, jako i bratří jeho.) I odešla Támar, a bydlila v domě otce svého.

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.

¹²A po mnohých dnech umřela dcera Suova, manželka Judova. Kterýžto potěšiv se zas, šel do Tamnas k těm, kteříž střihli ovce jeho, a s ním Híra Odolamitský, přítel jeho.

¹²After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.

¹³I oznámeno jest Támar těmito slovy: Aj, tchán tvůj vstupuje do Tamnas, aby střihl ovce své.

¹³It was told Tamar, saying, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

¹⁴Tedy ona složivši s sebe šaty své vdovské, zavila se v rouchu, a oděla se a seděla na rozcestí, kudy se jde do Tamnas. Nebo viděla, že Séla dorostl, a že není dána jemu za manželku.

¹⁴She took off of her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.

¹⁵Kteroužto uzřev Juda, za to měl, že jest nevěstka; nebo zakryla tvář svou.

¹⁵When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

¹⁶Protož uchýliv se k ní s cesty, řekl: Dopusť medle, ať vejdu k tobě. (Nebo nevěděl, aby nevěsta jeho byla.) I řekla: Co mi dáš, jestliže vejdeš ke mně?

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?”

¹⁷Odpověděl: Pošliť kozelce z stáda. Dí ona: Kdybys něco zastavil, dokavadž nepošleš.

¹⁷He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”

¹⁸I řekl: Cožť mám dáti v zástavě? Odpověděla ona: Pečetní prsten svůj, a halži svou, a hůl svou, kterouž máš v ruce své. I dal jí, a všel k ní; a počala z něho.

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.

¹⁹Tedy vstavši, odešla, a sňavši rouchu svou s sebe, oblékla se v šaty své vdovské.

¹⁹She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

²⁰I poslal Juda kozelce po příteli svém Odolamitském, aby vzal zase základ od ženy. A nenalezl jí.

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.

²¹I ptal se mužů toho místa, řka: Kde jest ta nevěstka, kteráž seděla na rozcestí této cesty? Řekli oni: Nebylotě zde nevěstky.

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.”

²²Tedy navrátiv se k Judovi, řekl: Nenašel jsem jí; a také muži místa toho pravili: Nebylo zde nevěstky.

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.’”

²³I řekl Juda: Nechť sobě to má, abychom neuvedli se v lehkost. Jáť jsem poslal toho kozelce, ale tys jí nenalezl.

²³Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”

²⁴I stalo se okolo tří měsíců, že oznámili Judovi, řkouce: Dopustila se smilství Támar nevěsta tvá, a jest již i těhotná z smilství. I řekl Juda: Vyveďte ji, aby byla upálena.

²⁴It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burnt.”

²⁵Když pak vedena byla, poslala k tchánu svému, řkuci: Z muže, jehož tyto věci jsou, těhotná jsem. A při tom řekla: Pohleď, prosím, čí jsou tyto věci, pečetní prsten, halže a hůl tato?

²⁵When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man, whose these are, I am with child.” She also said, “Please discern whose are these—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”

²⁶Tedy pohleděv na to Juda, řekl: Spravedlivějšíť jest než já, poněvadž jsem nedal jí Sélovi synu svému. A více jí nepoznával.

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.

²⁷Stalo se pak, že když přišel čas porodu jejího, aj, bliženci v životě jejím.

²⁷It happened in the time of her travail, that behold, twins were in her womb.

²⁸A když rodila, jeden z nich vyskytl ruku, kteroužto chytivši baba, uvázala na ni červenou nitku, řkuci: Ten vyjde prvé.

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.”

²⁹Když pak vtáhl ruku svou zase, hle, vyšel bratr jeho. I řekla: Jak jsi protrhl? Tvéť jest protržení. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Fáres.

²⁹It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez. Perez means “breaking out.”

³⁰A potom vyšel bratr jeho, kterýž měl na ruce nitku červenou. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Zára.

³⁰Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah. Zerah means “scarlet” or “brightness.”
