Genesis 38 (TGLULB)

1Dumating ang panahon na iniwan ni Juda ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki at tumira sa isang Adullamita, na ang pangalan ay Hira.About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.

2Nakilala niya si Sua na anak ng Cananeo na lalaki na ang pangalan ay Sua. Pinakasalan niya at sinipingan niya.There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.

3Siya ay nabuntis at nagkaroon ng anak na lalaki. Siya ay pinangalanan Er.So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.

4Nabuntis ulit siya at nagkaroon ng isang anak na lalaki. Tinawag niya siyang Onan.Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

5Nagkaroon ulit siya ng isang anak at tinawag siya sa pangalang Selah. Ito ay sa Kizib kung saan siya ipinanganak.Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.

6Nakahanap si Juda ng isang asawa para kay Er, panganay niya. Ang pangalan niya ay Tamar.Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7Ang panganay niyang anak na si Er ay napakasama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay siya ni Yahweh.But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

8Sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, “Sumiping ka kasama ng asawa ng iyong kapatid na lalaki. Gawin mo ang tungkulin bilang isang kapatid na lalaki, at palakihin mo ang isang bata para sa iyong kapatid.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.”

9Alam na ni Onan na ang bata ay hindi kanya. Kapag sumisiping siya kasama ng asawa ng kanyang kapatid na lalaki, tinatapon niya sa lupa ang kanyang semilya upang hindi siya magkaroon ng anak para sa kanyang kapatid na lalaki.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.

10Ang ginawa niya ay naging masama sa paningin ni Yahweh. Pinatay din siya ni Yahweh.What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.

11Pagkatapos sinabi ni Juda kay Tamar, na kanyang manugang, “Manatili kang biyuda sa bahay ng iyong ama hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak.” Dahil sa isip niya, “Baka mamatay din siya katulad ng kanyang mga kapatid.” Umalis si Tamar at nanirahan sa bahay ng kanyang ama.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.

12Pagkatapos ng mahabang panahon, ang anak na babae ni Sua na asawa ni Juda ay namatay. Si Juda ay naaliw at pumunta pataas sa kanyang mga manggugupit ng balahibo ng tupa sa Timnat, siya at ang kanyang kaibigan na si Hira na isang Adullamita.After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.

13Nasabihan si Tamar, “Tingnan mo, ang iyong biyenan na lalaki ay pupunta pataas sa Timnat upang gupitan ang balahibo ng kanyang mga tupa.”When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,”

14Hinubad niya ang damit sa pagkabalo at tinakpan ang kanyang sarili ng isang belo at ibinalot ang sarili. Umupo siya sa tarangkahan ng Enaim, sa tabi ng daan patungong Timnat. Dahil nakita niyang si Selah ay lumaki na ngunit hindi siya binigay bilang asawa niya.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.

15Nang makita siya ni Juda naisip niya na siya ay isang babaeng bayaran dahil tinakpan niya ang kanyang mukha.When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

16Pumunta siya sa kanya sa tabing daan at sinabi, “Halika, pakiusap hayaan mo akong sumiping sa iyo.”- Dahil di niya alam na siya ang manugang niya- at sinabi niya, “Anong ibibigay mo sa akin para sipingan kita?”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.

17Sinabi niya, “Papadalhan kita ng isang batang kambing na mula sa kawan.” Sinabi niya, “Maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng isang sangla hanggang maipadala mo ito?”“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.”

18Sinabi niya, “Anong sangla ang maaari kong ibigay sa iyo?” At sinabi niya, “Ang inyong selyo at kordon, at ang tungkod na nasa iyong kamay.” Ibinigay ito sa kanya at sinipingan siya. Siya ay nabuntis sa pamamagitan niya.“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.

19Tumindig si Tamar at umalis palayo. Inalis niya ang kanyang belo at isinuot ang damit sa kanyang pagkabalo.Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow’s garments again.

20Ipinadala ni Juda ang batang kambing mula sa kawan kasama ang kanyang kaibigan na Adullamita para tanggapin ang sangla na mula sa kamay ng babae, ngunit hindi na niya siya nakita.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.

21Pagkatapos nito ay tinanong ng Adullamita ang mga lalaki sa lugar, “Nasaan na ang kultong babaeng bayaran na nasa Enaim sa tabing daan? “Sinabi nila, wala namang kultong babaeng bayaran dito.”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.

22Bumalik siya kay Juda at sinabi, “Hindi ko siya nakita. Maging ang mga lalaki sa lugar ay nagsabi, 'Walang naging kultong babaeng bayaran dito.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.’”

23Sinabi ni Juda, “Hayaan mong itago niya ang mga bagay, baka malagay tayo sa kahihiyan. Totoo nga, ipinadala ko ang batang kambing, ngunit hindi mo siya natagpuan.”“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.”

24Dumating ang panahon, pagkalipas ng tatlong buwan na sinabi kay Juda, “Ang iyong manugang na si Tamar ay naging babaeng bayaran, at totoo nga, siya ay nabuntis sa dahil doon.” Sinabi ni Juda, “Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.”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!”

25Nang siya ay dinala palabas, nagpadala siya ng mensahe para sa kanyang biyenan na lalaki, “Dahil sa lalaking nagmamay-ari nito nabuntis ako.” Sabi niya, “Pakiusap alamin ninyo kung kaninong selyo, mga kordon at tungkod ito.”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?”

26Nakilala ni Juda ang mga ito at sinabi, “Siya ay mas matuwid kaysa sa akin, dahil hindi ko siya ibinigay bilang isang asawa kay Selah, na aking anak na lalaki.” Siya ay hindi na muling sumiping sa kanya.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.

27Nang siya ay manganganak na, masdan, kambal ang nasa kanyang sinapupunan.When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

28Nang nanganganak na siya, may isang naglabas ng kamay, at kinuha ng komadrona ang isang pulang sinulid at itinali ito sa kanyang kamay at sinabi, “Ito ang unang lumabas.”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.

29nang inurong niya ang kanyang kamay, at masdan, ang kapatid niyang lalaki ay unang lumabas. Ang komandrona ay nagsabi, “Paano ka nakalabas!” At pinangalanan siyang Perez.But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.

30Pagkatapos ang kapatid niya ay lumabas, na mayroong pulang sinulid sa kanyang kamay, at Zera ang ipinangalan sa kanya.Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
