¹Huchih laiin, hichi ahia, Juda bel a unaute kianga kipanin a pai suka, Adullam mi khat a min Hira a vebelta hi:

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.

²Huan, Juda in huailaiah Kanan mi khat tanu a min Suah a mua; huan, amah a kitenpih a, a kithuahpih ta.

²And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

³Huchiin a gaia, tapa a neia; huan; Juda in amin dingin Er asa hi.

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

⁴Huan, a gai nawna, tapa a nei nawna; huan, a nuin a min dingin Onan asa hi.

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

⁵Huan, tapa a nei nawn jela, a min ding Sela asa a; amah a neihlaiin Juda Chezib khua ah a om hi.

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

⁶Huan, Juda in a ta masa Er a dingin ji api saka, a min Tamar ahi.

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

⁷Huan, Juda ta masa Er Toupa mitmuh in gilou ahia; huchiin, Toupan amah a si saka.

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

⁸Huan, Juda in, Onan kiangah, na u ji kithuahpih inla kitenpih inla, na u a dingin chi khahsakin achia.

⁸And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

⁹Huan, Onan in chi suah ding pen amah suan ahikei ding chih athei a, huchiin hichi ahia, a u ji a kithuahpih tengin a u a dinga chi a suahsak louh na dingin leiah a kesak jel hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan, a thil hihdan Toupa mitmuh in giloutak ahi: huchiin amah leng a sisak ta.

¹⁰And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

¹¹Huan, Juda in amou nu Tamar kiangah, ka tapa Sela a pichin mateng na pa in lamah pasal neilou in na om tadih in, achia. Huchilou in jaw amah leng a ute bangin a si kha ding hi, achi ahi. Huchiin, Tamar apa in lamah ava omte hi.

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.

¹²Huan, a nungin Suah tanu Juda ji a si a; huan, Juda in a ngaih a daita a, Timna khua ah a belam mulmet mi te kiang lamah amah leh a lawm Adullam mi Hira a hoh tou uh.

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.

¹³Huan, mi in, Tamar, na pu a belam mulmet dingin Timna khua ah a hohtou dek, chiin, a hilh ua.

¹³And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

¹⁴Huchiin, aman a pasal sunna puansilh te a suah a, kikhuh na puanin a kikhuh a, a kituam bikbek a, Timna kho lampi ah Enaim kulh kongpi ah ana tu a; Sela lah a piching ta ngala, apan aji dingin amah api sak kei chih a thei hi.

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.

¹⁵Huan, Juda in amah amuh in kijuak hiinteh achia; amai lah akikhuh bikbek ngala.

¹⁵When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

¹⁶Huchiin, lampi gei ah huai numei lam ava juan a, kisa in hehpihtakin I lumkhawm ding, achia: amou mah ahi chih lah athei ngal kei a. Huan, aman, hon luppih bang non pe dia? Achia.

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?

¹⁷Huan, aman, ganhon laka kipan kelnou ka hon khak ding, achia. Huan, aman huai na hon khak ma a kana let ding banghiam bek non pe diam? Achia.

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?

¹⁸Huan, aman, let ding bang ka hon pe dia? Achia. Huan, aman, na min sawnna leh na tau, na chiang tawi toh, achia. Huchiin, apia a, a luppih ta, huan, amah a kipan apaita hi.

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.

¹⁹Huan, a thou a, a kikhuhna puan a suah a, a meithaina puansilh te a silh non ta hi.

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

²⁰Huan, a thillet numei khut a kipana la dingin a lawmpa Adullam mi khut ah kelnou a khak a: himahleh aman ava muzou takei hi.

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.

²¹Huchiin, numei omna mun a mite kiangah, lampi gei a Enaima kijuak nu koi a om ahita a? Chiin a dong a. Huan, amau, kijuak mawngmawng hiai laiah a om kei hi, achi ua.

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.

²²Huchiin, Juda kiangah a kik nawn a, amah ka muzou kei; amun a miten leng, kijuak mawngmawng hiai laiah a om kei, ana chih behlap uh, achia.

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.

²³Huan, Juda in, neiden maileh huchilouin in jaw I zahlak kha ding; ngaiin, hiai kelnou khak hi inga, amah lah mu zoulou chin na, achia.

²³And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

²⁴Huan, kha thum hiam tak nungin, min Juda, na mounu Tamar in tangval a ngai a; huailou leng, ngai in sawn a pai hi, chiin, ahilh ua. Huan, Juda in pi khia unla, hal lup in om heh, achia.

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.

²⁵Huan, a pi khiak uleh, Tamar in, hiai thil te neipa lakah ahi nau ka pai, chiin, a pu kiangah mi a sawl ta a; amah mah in, hehpihtakin hiai min sawn na te, tau te, chiang te, kua a ahia, en chian dih ve, achia.

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.

²⁶Huan, Juda in huai thilte amah a ahi chih ana thei a. Kei sang amah diktat jaw ahi; ka tapa Sela lah amah toh kana kiteng sak ta kei a, achia. Huan, Juda in amah a kithuahpih nawn hetkei.

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.

²⁷Huan, nau a vei laiin hichi ahia, ngai in, a sul ah phik ana om ua.

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

²⁸Huan, hichi ahia, nau avei laiin khat in a khut a hon golh khia a: huchiin nau dom mi in, hiai a pawt masa jaw ahi, chiin ana len a, a khut ah khau san a bunsak hi.

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.

²⁹Huan, huchi ahia, khut a laklut nawn laiin, ngaiin, a unau a hongpawt ta a: huchiin naudom miin, bang dia pawtna kibawl na hia? Achia, huaijiakin a min dingin Perez a sa uh.Huan, huai nungin a unau, huai nungin a unau, huai a khut a khau san bunpen, a hongpawt nawna: a min dingin Zera a sa uhi.

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.

³⁰Huan, huai nungin a unau, huai nungin a unau, huai a khut a khau san bunpen, a hongpawt nawna: a min dingin Zera a sa uhi.

³⁰And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
