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

¹A stalo sa v tom čase, že Júda odišiel dolu od svojich bratov a uchýlil sa k nejakému mužovi adulamitskému, ktorému bolo meno Chíra.

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

²Tam videl Júda dcéru kananejského muža, ktorému bolo meno Šuva, a vzal si ju a vošiel k nej.

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

³A žena počala a porodila syna, a nazval jeho meno Ér.

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

⁴A zase počala a porodila syna a nazvala jeho meno Onan.

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

⁵A ešte porodila syna a nazvala jeho meno Šela. A vtedy bol v Chezibe, keď ho porodila.

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

⁶Potom vzal Júda Érovi, svojmu prvorodenému, ženu, ktorej bolo meno Támar.

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

⁷Ale Ér, prvorodený Júdov, bol zlý v očiach Hospodinových, a preto ho zabil Hospodin.

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.”

⁸A Júda povedal Onanovi: Vojdi k žene svojho brata a vezmi si ju za ženu podľa švagrovského práva a vzbuď svojmu bratovi semeno.

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.

⁹Ale Onan vedel, že to nebude jeho semeno, a tak bývalo, keď vošiel k žene svojho brata, že zahubil semä vypustiac ho na zem, aby nedal semena svojmu bratovi.

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

¹⁰Ale to bolo zlé v očiach Hospodinových, čo urobil, a zabil i jeho.

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.

¹¹Vtedy povedal Júda Támari, svojej neveste: Zostaň vdovou v dome svojho otca, dokiaľ nedorastie Šela, môj syn. Lebo povedal: Aby nezomrel aj on ako jeho bratia. A Támar odišla a bývala v dome svojho otca.

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.

¹²A potom po dlhom čase zomrela dcéra Šuvova, žena Júdova. A keď sa potešil Júda, odišiel hore za strihačmi svojho stáda, on i Chíra, jeho adulamitský priateľ, do Timny.

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

¹³A Támari bolo oznámené, že vraj, hľa, tvoj svokor ide hore do Timny strihať svoje stádo.

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.

¹⁴Vtedy složila rúcho svojho vdovstva so seba a pokryla sa závojom a zahaliac sa sedela pri bráne Enaim, ktorá je na ceste do Timny. Lebo videla, že Šela dorástol, a že mu nebola daná za ženu.

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

¹⁵A keď uvidel Júda, myslel, že je to smilnica, pretože zakryla svoju tvár.

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?”

¹⁶Vtedy sa uchýlil k nej na cestu a povedal jej: Nože dovoľ, aby som vošiel k tebe! Lebo nevedel, že je to jeho nevesta. A riekla: Čo mi dáš, keď vojdeš ku mne?

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

¹⁷A povedal: Ja ti pošlem kozľa zo stáda. A riekla: Dobre, ak dáš záloh, dokiaľ nepošleš.

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.

¹⁸A on povedal: Aký to má byť záloh, ktorý ti dám? A riekla: Svoj pečatný prsteň, svoj náhrdelník a svoju palicu, ktorú máš vo svojej ruke. A dal jej a vošiel k nej, a počala mu.

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

¹⁹Potom vstala a odišla a složila svoj závoj so seba a obliekla si rúcho svojho vdovstva.

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.

²⁰A Júda poslal kozľa po svojom adulamitskom priateľovi, aby vzal záloh z ruky ženy, ale jej nenašiel.

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.”

²¹Vtedy sa pýtalo mužov, ktorí boli z jej mesta, a povedal: Kde je tá zasvätená, ktorá sedela v Enaime pri ceste? A riekli: Nebolo tu zasvätenej.

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.’”

²²Vtedy sa navrátil k Júdovi a povedal: Nenašiel som jej. I mužovia toho miesta tiež vraveli: Nebolo tu zasvätenej.

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

²³A Júda povedal: Nech si to vezme. Aby sme neboli na potupu. Hľa, poslal som toto kozľa, ale ty si jej nenašiel.

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.”

²⁴A stalo sa tak asi o tri mesiace, že bolo oznámené Júdovi, že vraj Támar, tvoja nevesta, dopustila sa smilstva, a hľa, aj je tehotná od svojho smilstva. A Júda povedal: Vyveďte ju, aby bola upálená.

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.”

²⁵A keď ju už viedli, poslala k svojmu svokrovi a odkázala mu: Od muža, ktorému patria tieto veci, som tehotná. A ešte dodala: Poznaj, prosím, čie sú to veci: pečatný prsteň, náhrdelník a palica!

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.

²⁶A Júda poznal veci a povedal: Je spravedlivejšia ako ja, lebo to preto, že som jej nedal Šelovi, svojmu synovi. A viac jej nepoznal.

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

²⁷A stalo sa v tom čase, keď mala porodiť, že hľa, ukázalo sa, že sú dvojčatá v jej živote.

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.”

²⁸A stalo sa v tom, keď rodila, že jedno vystrčilo ruku, a baba vzala a priviazala na jeho ruku červenú niť a riekla: Tento vyšiel prvý.

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.”

²⁹A stalo sa, keď vtiahol zpät svoju ruku, že hľa, vyšiel jeho brat. A riekla: Prečo si pretrhol? Na teba pripadne pretrhnutie. A tak nazvali jeho meno Fáres.

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

³⁰A potom vyšiel jeho brat, ktorý mal na ruke červenú niť. A nazvali jeho meno Zárach.
