Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

EKA
Ngbokambang a mmon ewe Er jolo nne no jo lim abˈbi go ejang bi Jehova, wahng ka Jehova wul-e.
BSB
BSB:
But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”

BSB
BSB:
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
10
EKA
Ji Onan jo lim o jolo ebˈbi go ejang bi Jehova, Jehova tob wul-e.
BSB
BSB:
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.

BSB
BSB:
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
12
EKA
Eji ma kang afung gbalee nkala Juda, mmon no nkal no Sua, kehm kpoko. Eji Juda ma noongo elkv mal, á mehle tahm go Timna, goji ane kpo kpud anyar ejoro ebe, nte ewe Hira ji lohng go Adulam toon-e je o.

BSB
BSB:
she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
15
EKA
Eji Juda nyehn-e no, Juda tiri re nne asˈsa wo, tib yebkonngo esamahr ebe.

When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
16

BSB:
Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
17
EKA
Juda kehm-e faange re, <<M bahke tumu mmon mbul no nse tv-a go ellong ebul ebame. Tama kehm-e tongo re, <<Á bahk-m ma yahke ejum ji m bahke bumu ana ejum ntianse tete á tum mmona mbul noo tv-m?>>
BSB
BSB:
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
18
EKA
Juda kehm bungu re, <<Ejum ajii á kpˈsebe re me ka-a ana atianse? Tama kehm faange re, <<Yake ejum elliingi eja a nlehke eme, a ebti efilebo bi wob-a ebo ka-m.>> Á kehm-e kake, noongo a ne, á soro sa ela ka Juda.
BSB
BSB:
“What pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19
EKA
Eji ma jol ano, Tama kehm feere go etahk, song lennge mbomo mi á konngo elne, rod abomo nkalebun bobo ana wuku wuku.

Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.

BSB:
He asked the men of that place, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “No shrine prostitute has been here,” they answered.
22
EKA
Owo Hira kehm feere song tong Juda re,<<M we nyehnem edi ajehng ajehng, aneblum ba li ejahbe jio kpˈbungu re nne asˈsa ka jˈjol ona.>>
BSB
BSB:
So Hirah returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, ‘No shrine prostitute has been here.’”
23
EKA
Juda kehm bungu re, <<Nong á bum nsol nyi n ka-e no, eji e lˈk jol ejum asol. Kehn n tˈtumu mombul ana e toobo no, á we nyehnem.>>
BSB
BSB:
“Let her keep the items,” Judah replied. “Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her.”
24
EKA
Eji yahke biingi nnyahng era, bo kehm tongo Juda re, <<Tama nkala mmon ewa kpˈjene yannge ana nne asˈsa, anv, tib esi jia, yebsa ela.>>Juda kehm bungu re, <<Koon ye ba, wahn ba jahm-e agun á kpo!>>

BSB:
About three months later, Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant.” “Bring her out!” Judah replied. “Let her be burned to death!”
25
EKA
Eji bo me-e rod re bo song wul, owo á tumu etib tv nde nlum re, <<Nne no kpi nsol nyia, ye wo ma-m kak ela. Seenge nˈnob. Nne awoo kpi ejum elliingi jia a nlehke eme, a ebti efilebo bia?>>
BSB
BSB:
As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.” And she added, “Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?”
26
EKA
Juda soro liingi nsol nyio tvtv, kehm bungu re, <<Tama wo ga li etingitingi nne sehnge me, tib m taam-m re Sela mmon ewame ko-e go elbal.>> Juda kpeem tiki noongo a Tama.
BSB
BSB:
Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.
27
EKA
Eji ba rehng ngare ejel, bo sebe kahn re Tama jolo ela ayafele.

BSB:
When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

BSB:
And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.
29
EKA
Á kehm fere tohng ebo ebe kak atahng, mmonannyehn fere lohng! Mbohngo ejel kehm biingi re, <<Lohngo renan!>> Á limi renan a ma bohngo lohng?>> Bo kehm gungu mbing re Pereji

BSB:
But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.

Owo mmonannyehn no bo kahn-e mbila mbomo go ebo kehm lohngo, bo ka-e mbing re Jera.
BSB
BSB:
Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
