¹Sel ajal läks Juuda ära oma vendade juurest ja siirdus ühe Adullami mehe juurde, kelle nimi oli Hiira.

¹And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.

²Ja Juuda nägi seal kaananlase, Suua-nimelise mehe tütart, võttis selle ning heitis ta juurde.

²And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.

³Ja see jäi lapseootele ning tõi poja ilmale; ja ta pani sellele nimeks Eer.

³And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.

⁴Ja tema jäi taas lapseootele ning tõi poja ilmale; ja ta pani sellele nimeks Oonan.

⁴And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.

⁵Ja tema tõi veel ühe poja ilmale ja pani sellele nimeks Seela; ta oli Kesibis, kui ta selle ilmale tõi.

⁵And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.

⁶Ja Juuda võttis Eerile, oma esmasündinule, naise nimega Taamar.

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

⁷Aga Eer, Juuda esmasündinu, oli Issanda silmis paha ja Issand laskis tema surra.

⁷And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.

⁸Siis Juuda ütles Oonanile: 'Heida oma venna naise juurde, ole temale mehe eest ja soeta oma vennale sugu!'

⁸Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.

⁹Kuna aga Oonan teadis, et sugu ei pidanud saama temale, siis heites oma venna naise juurde ta hävitas oma seemne maha pillates, et mitte anda sugu oma vennale.

⁹But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.

¹⁰Aga see, mis ta tegi, oli Issanda silmis paha ja ta laskis surra ka tema.

¹⁰And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.

¹¹Siis Juuda ütles oma miniale Taamarile: 'Jää lesena oma isakotta elama, kuni mu poeg Seela on kasvanud suuremaks!' Sest ta mõtles: 'Muidu sureb seegi nagu ta vennad.' Ja Taamar läks ning jäi oma isakotta elama.

¹¹And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.

¹²Mõne aja pärast suri Suua tütar, Juuda naine. Kui Juuda leinaaeg oli möödunud, siis ta läks üles Timnasse oma lammaste niitjate juurde, tema ja ta sõber Hiira, Adullami mees.

¹²And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

¹³Ja Taamarile anti teada ning öeldi: 'Vaata, su äi läheb üles Timnasse lambaid niitma.'

¹³And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.

¹⁴Siis ta võttis lesepõlve riided seljast ära, varjas ennast looriga ja kattis enese kinni ning istus Eenaimi väravasse, kust tee viib Timnasse, sest ta oli näinud, et Seela oli kasvanud suureks, teda aga ei olnud antud temale naiseks.

¹⁴And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.

¹⁵Kui Juuda teda nägi, siis ta pidas teda hooraks, sest ta oli oma näo kinni katnud.

¹⁵And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.

¹⁶Ja ta pöördus teelt tema poole ning ütles: 'Lase ma heidan su juurde!' Sest ta ei teadnud, et see oli tema minia. Aga too vastas: 'Mis sa mulle annad, kui sa heidad mu juurde?'

¹⁶And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?

¹⁷Ta ütles: 'Ma läkitan sulle karjast ühe sikutalle.' Ja naine vastas: 'Jah, kui sa annad mulle pandi, seniks kui sa läkitad.'

¹⁷And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?

¹⁸Siis ta küsis: 'Mis võiks olla pandiks, mille ma pean sulle andma?' Ja tema vastas: 'Su pitsat ja vöö ja kepp, mis sul käes on.' Ja ta andis need temale ning heitis ta juurde; ja naine jäi temast lapseootele.

¹⁸And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.

¹⁹Siis ta tõusis ja läks ära ning võttis eneselt loori ja pani lesepõlve riided selga.

¹⁹And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

²⁰Ja Juuda läkitas oma sõbra, Adullami mehega sikutalle, et võtta pant naise käest; aga see ei leidnud teda.

²⁰And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.

²¹Siis ta küsis meestelt seal paigas, öeldes: 'Kus on see liiderlik naine, kes oli Eenaimi tee ääres?' Aga need vastasid: 'Siin pole liiderlikku naist olnud.'

²¹And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.

²²Ja ta tuli tagasi Juuda juurde ning ütles: 'Ma ei leidnud teda. Ja mehedki seal paigas ütlesid: Siin pole liiderlikku naist olnud.'

²²And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.

²³Siis ütles Juuda: 'Pidagu siis enesele, et me ei satuks pilke alla! Vaata, ma läkitasin selle siku, aga sina ei leidnud teda.'

²³Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

²⁴Aga kolme kuu pärast teatati Juudale ja öeldi: 'Su minia Taamar on hooranud, ja vaata, ta on hooratööst jäänud ka lapseootele.' Siis ütles Juuda: 'Tooge ta välja, et ta põletataks!'

²⁴And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.

²⁵Kui ta välja toodi, siis ta läkitas sõna oma äiale: 'Sellest mehest, kelle omad need on, olen ma lapseootel!' Ja ta ütles: 'Tunnista nüüd, kelle see pitsat ja vöö ja kepp on!'

²⁵When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.

²⁶Ja Juuda tundis need ära ning ütles: 'Tema on minust õigem! Sest ma ei ole teda andnud oma pojale Seelale.' Ja ta ei ühtinud enam temaga.

²⁶And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

²⁷Aga sünnitamise ajal, vaata, olid ta ihus kaksikud.

²⁷And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.

²⁸Ja kui ta sünnitas, sirutus üks käsi välja; ja aitajanaine võttis ning sidus käe ümber helepunase lõnga, öeldes: 'See tuleb esmalt välja!'

²⁸And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

²⁹Aga kui ta oma käe tagasi tõmbas, vaata, siis tuli välja ta vend. Ja aitajanaine ütles: 'Missuguse lõhe sa küll enesele oled rebestanud!' Ja temale pandi nimeks Perets.

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! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.

³⁰Ja pärast tuli välja tema vend, kelle käe ümber oli helepunane lõng; ja temale pandi nimeks Serah.

³⁰And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
