¹At nangyari nang panahong yaon, na humiwalay si Juda sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at nagdaan sa isang Adullamita na ang pangalan ay Hira.

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

²At nakita roon ni Juda ang anak na babae ng isang Cananeo, na tinatawag na Sua; at kinuha niya at kaniyang sinipingan.

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

³At naglihi, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Er.

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

⁴At naglihi uli, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Onan.

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

⁵At muling naglihi at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Selah: at si Juda ay nasa sa Chezib nang siya'y manganak.

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

⁶At pinapag-asawa ni Juda si Er na kaniyang panganay, at ang pangalan niyao'y Thamar.

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

⁷At si Er, na panganay ni Juda, ay naging masama sa paningin ng Panginoon; at siya'y pinatay ng Panginoon.

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

⁸At sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, Sumiping ka sa asawa ng iyong kapatid, at tuparin mo sa kaniya ang tungkulin ng kapatid ng asawa, at ipagbangon mo ng binhi ang iyong kapatid.

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.”

⁹At nalalaman ni Onan na hindi magiging kaniya ang binhi; at nangyari, na pagka sisiping siya sa asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, ay pinatutulo niya sa lupa, nang huwag lamang niyang bigyan ng binhi ang kaniyang kapatid.

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.

¹⁰At ang bagay na ginawa niya ay masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y pinatay rin naman.

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

¹¹Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Juda kay Thamar na kaniyang manugang na babae: Manatili kang bao sa bahay ng iyong ama, hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak: sapagka't sinabi niya, Marahil ay hindi siya mamamatay ng gaya ng kaniyang mga kapatid. At yumaon si Thamar at tumahan sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.

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.

¹²At nagdaan ang maraming araw; at namatay ang anak na babae ni Sua, na asawa ni Juda; at nagaliw si Juda, at umahon sa Timnath sa mga manggugupit sa kaniyang mga tupa, siya at ang kaniyang kaibigang si Hira na Adullamita.

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.

¹³At naibalita kay Thamar, na sinasabi, Narito, ang iyong biyanang lalake ay umaahon sa Timnath upang pagupitan ang kaniyang mga tupa.

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

¹⁴At siya'y nagalis ng suot pagkabao, at nagtakip ng kaniyang lambong, at pagkapagtakip ay naupo sa pasukan ng Enaim, na nasa daan ng Timnath; sapagka't kaniyang nakikita, na si Selah ay malaki na, at hindi pa siya ibinibigay na asawa.

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.

¹⁵Nang makita siya ni Juda ay ipinalagay siyang patutot, sapagka't siya'y nagtakip ng kaniyang mukha.

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

¹⁶At lumapit sa kaniya, sa tabi ng daan, at sinabi, Narito nga, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na ako'y pasipingin mo sa iyo: sapagka't hindi niya nakilalang kaniyang manugang. At kaniyang sinabi, Anong ibibigay mo sa akin sa iyong pagsiping sa akin?

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?”

¹⁷At kaniyang sinabi, Padadalhan kita ng isang anak ng kambing na mula sa kawan. At kaniyang sinabi, Bibigyan mo ba ako ng sangla hanggang sa maipadala mo?

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

¹⁸At kaniyang sinabi, Anong sangla ang ibibigay ko sa iyo? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong singsing, at ang iyong pamigkis, at ang tungkod na dala mo sa kamay. At kaniyang ipinagbibigay sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya; at siya'y naglihi sa pamamagitan niya.

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.

¹⁹At siya'y bumangon, at yumaon, at siya'y nagalis ng kaniyang lambong, at isinuot ang mga kasuutan ng kaniyang pagkabao.

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

²⁰At ipinadala ni Juda ang anak ng kambing sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng kaniyang kaibigan, na Adullamita, upang tanggapin ang sangla sa kamay ng babae: datapuwa't hindi niya nasumpungan.

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.

²¹Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang itinanong sa mga tao sa dakong yaon na sinasabi, Saan nandoon ang patutot na nasa tabi ng daan sa Enaim? At kanilang sinabi, Walang naparitong sinomang patutot.

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.”

²²At nagbalik siya kay Juda, at sinabi, Hindi ko nasumpungan: at sinabi rin naman ng mga tao sa dakong yaon, Walang naging patutot rito.

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.’”

²³At sinabi ni Juda, Pabayaang ariin niya, baka tayo'y mapahiya: narito, aking ipinadala itong anak ng kambing at hindi mo siya nasumpungan.

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

²⁴At nangyari, na pagkaraan ng tatlong buwan, humigit kumulang, ay naibalita kay Juda, na sinasabi, Ang iyong manugang na si Thamar ay nagpatutot; at, narito, siya'y buntis sa pakikiapid. At sinabi ni Juda, Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.

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.”

²⁵Nang siya'y ilabas, ay nagpasabi siya sa kaniyang biyanan. Sa lalaking may-ari ng mga ito, ay nagdalangtao ako: at kaniyang sinabi pang, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na kilalanin mo kung kanino ang mga ito, ang singsing, ang pamigkis, at ang tungkod.

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.”

²⁶At nangakilala ni Juda, at sinabi, Siya'y matuwid kay sa akin; sapagka't hindi ko ibinigay sa kaniya si Selah na aking anak. At hindi na niya muling sinipingan pa.

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.

²⁷At nangyari, na sa pagdaramdam niya, na, narito, kambal ang nasa kaniyang tiyan.

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

²⁸At nangyari, nang nanganganak siya, na inilabas ng isa ang kamay: at hinawakan ng hilot at tinalian sa kamay ng isang sinulid na mapula, na sinasabi, Ito ang unang lumabas.

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.”

²⁹At nangyari, na pagkaurong ng kaniyang kamay, na, narito, ang kaniyang kapatid ang lumabas. At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit nagpumiglas ka? kaya't tinawag ang pangalan niyang Phares.

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.”

³⁰At pagkatapos ay lumabas ang kaniyang kapatid, na siyang may sinulid na mapula sa kamay: at tinawag na Zara ang kaniyang pangalan.

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