1 По онова време Юда слезе от братята си и отиде при един одоламец на име Ира. 2 И Юда видя там дъщерята на един ханаанец на име Суя, взе я и влезе при нея. 3 И тя забременя и роди син, и той го нарече Ир. 4 И пак забременя и роди син, и тя го нарече Онан. 5 И пак роди син и го нарече Шела. А Юда беше в Ахзив, когато тя го роди. 6 След време Юда взе за първородния си син Ир жена на име Тамар. 7 А Ир, първородният на Юда, беше лош пред ГОСПОДА и ГОСПОД го уби. 8 Тогава Юда каза на Онан: Влез при жената на брат си и изпълни към нея длъжността на девер, и въздигни потомство на брат си. 9 Но Онан знаеше, че потомството нямаше да бъде негово, и затова, когато влизаше при жената на брат си, изливаше семето си на земята, за да не даде потомството на брат си. 10 А това, което правеше, беше зло пред ГОСПОДА; затова уби и него. 11 Тогава Юда каза на снаха си Тамар: Живей като вдовица в бащиния си дом, докато отрасне синът ми Шела; защото си казваше: Да не би и той да умре като братята си. И така, Тамар отиде и живя в бащиния си дом. 12 След дълго време, дъщерята на Суя, жената на Юда, умря. И когато Юда се утеши, отиде при стригачите на овцете си в Тамна, той и приятелят му, одоламецът Ира. 13 И съобщиха на Тамар и казаха: Ето, свекърът ти отива в Тамна, за да стриже овцете си. 14 Тогава тя съблече вдовишките си дрехи, покри се с покривало, обви се и седна при входа на Енаим, който е по пътя за Тамна, защото видя, че Шела беше пораснал, а тя не му беше дадена за жена. 15 А Юда, като я видя, помисли, че е блудница, защото беше покрила лицето си. 16 И той се отби при нея на пътя и каза: Остави ме, моля те, да вляза при теб; защото не позна, че беше снаха му. И тя каза: Какво ще ми дадеш, за да влезеш при мен? 17 А той каза: Ще ти изпратя яре от стадото. А тя отвърна: Даваш ли ми залог, докато го изпратиш? 18 Той каза: Какъв залог да ти дам? И тя каза: Печата си, ширита си и тоягата си, която е в ръката ти. И той ѝ ги даде и влезе при нея, и тя забременя от него. 19 После тя стана и си отиде, свали покривалото си и облече вдовишките си дрехи. 20 А Юда изпрати ярето чрез ръката на приятеля си, одоламеца, за да вземе залога от ръката на жената, но той не я намери. 21 Затова попита хората от онова място, като каза: Къде е посветенатат.е. храмова проститутка в служба на богинята на плодородието Астарта, която беше на пътя при Енаим? А те казаха: Тук не е имало посветена. 22 И той се върна при Юда и каза: Не я намерих, а и хората от онова място казаха: Тук не е имало посветена. 23 И Юда каза: Нека си държи нещата, да не станем за присмех. Ето, аз пратих това яре, но ти не я намери. 24 Около три месеца след това съобщиха на Юда и казаха: Снаха ти Тамар блудства, и ето, бременна е от блудството. А Юда каза: Изведете я да се изгори! 25 А когато я извеждаха, тя изпрати до свекъра си да му кажат: От човека, чиито са тези неща, съм бременна. Каза още: Познай, моля те, чии са този печат, този ширит и тази тояга. 26 И Юда ги позна и каза: Тя е по-права от мен, защото не я дадох на сина си Шела. И не я позна вече. 27 И когато дойде времето ѝ да роди, ето, имаше близнаци в утробата ѝ. 28 И като раждаше, едното протегна ръка и акушерката взе и върза червен конец на ръката му и каза: Този излезе пръв. 29 А като дръпна назад ръката си, ето, излезе брат му. И тя каза: Какъв пролом си отвори ти? Затова го нарекоха Фарес^[1]. 30 После излезе брат му, който имаше червения конец на ръката си, и него нарекоха Зара^[2].

Judah and Tamar

1 At that time, Judah left his brothers. He went down to stay with a man named Hirah from the town of Adullam. 2 There Judah met the daughter of a man from Canaan. His name was Shua. Judah married her and slept with her. 3 She became pregnant and had a son. They named him Er. 4 She became pregnant again and had another son. She named him Onan. 5 She had still another son. She named him Shelah. He was born at Kezib. 6 Judah got a wife for his eldest son Er. Her name was Tamar. 7 But Judah’s eldest son Er was evil in the LORD’s eyes. So the LORD put him to death. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, ‘Sleep with your brother’s wife. After all, you are her brother-in-law. So carry out your duty to her. Provide children for your brother.’ 9 But Onan knew that the children wouldn’t belong to him. So every time he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground. He did it so he wouldn’t provide children for his brother. 10 What he did was evil in the LORD’s eyes. So the LORD put him to death also. 11 Then Judah spoke to his daughter-in-law Tamar. He said, ‘Live as a widow in your father’s home. Wait there until my son Shelah grows up.’ Judah was thinking, ‘Shelah might die too, just like his brothers.’ So Tamar went to live in her father’s home. 12 After a long time Judah’s wife died. She was the daughter of Shua. When Judah got over his sadness, he went up to Timnah. His friend Hirah from Adullam went with him. Men were clipping the wool from Judah’s sheep at Timnah. 13 Tamar was told, ‘Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to clip the wool from his sheep.’ 14 So she took off her widow’s clothes. She covered her face with a veil so people wouldn’t know who she was. Then she sat down at the entrance to Enaim. Enaim is on the road to Timnah. Tamar knew that Shelah had grown up. But she hadn’t been given to him as his wife. 15 Judah saw her. He thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face with a veil. 16 He didn’t realise that she was his daughter-in-law. He went over to her by the side of the road. He said, ‘Come. Let me sleep with you.’ ‘What will you give me to sleep with you?’ she asked. 17 ‘I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,’ he said. ‘Will you give me something that belongs to you?’ she asked. ‘I’ll keep it until you send the goat.’ 18 He said, ‘What should I give you?’ ‘Give me your official seal and the string that it hangs from,’ she answered. ‘And give me your walking stick.’ So he gave them to her. Then he slept with her. And she became pregnant by him. 19 After she left, she took off her veil. She put on her widow’s clothes again. 20 Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat he had promised. He wanted to get back what he had given to the woman. But his friend Hirah couldn’t find her. 21 He asked the men who lived at Enaim, ‘Where’s the temple prostitute? She used to sit beside the road here.’ ‘There hasn’t been any temple prostitute here,’ they said. 22 So Hirah went back to Judah. He said, ‘I couldn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there didn’t know anything about her. They said, “There hasn’t been any temple prostitute here.” ’ 23 Then Judah said, ‘Let her keep what she has. I don’t want people making fun of us. After all, I did send her this young goat. We can’t help it if you couldn’t find her.’ 24 About three months later people brought word to Judah. They said, ‘Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of being a prostitute. Now she’s pregnant.’ Judah said, ‘Bring her out! Have her burned to death!’ 25 As Tamar was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. She said, ‘I am pregnant by the man who owns these.’ She continued, ‘Do you recognise this seal and string and walking stick? Do you know who they belong to?’ 26 Judah recognised them. He said, ‘She’s a better person than I am. I should have given her to my son Shelah, but I didn’t.’ Judah never slept with Tamar again. 27 The time came for Tamar to have her baby. There were twin boys inside her. 28 As the babies were being born, one of them stuck out his hand. So the woman helping Tamar took a bright red thread. The woman tied it on the baby’s wrist. She said, ‘This one came out first.’ 29 But he pulled his hand back, and his brother came out first instead. She said, ‘Just look at how you have forced your way out!’ So he was called Perez. 30 Then his brother, who had the red thread on his wrist, came out. So he was named Zerah.
