| 1 Και κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον κατεβη ο Ιουδας απο των αδελφων αυτου και ετραπη προς ανθρωπον τινα Οδολλαμιτην ονομαζομενον Ειρα. | 1 It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. |
| 2 Και ειδεν εκει ο Ιουδας την θυγατερα τινος Χαναναιου, ονομαζομενου Σουα? και ελαβεν αυτην και εισηλθε προς αυτην. | 2 There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; he married her and went in to her, |
| 3 Η δε συνελαβε, και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ηρ. | 3 and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. |
| 4 Συνελαβε δε παλιν και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Αυναν. | 4 Again she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. |
| 5 Εγεννησε δε παλιν και αλλον υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σηλα? ητο δε ο Ιουδας εν Χασβι, οτε εγεννησε τουτον. | 5 Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. She was in Chezib when she bore him. |
| 6 Και ελαβεν ο Ιουδας γυναικα εις τον Ηρ τον πρωτοτοκον αυτου, ονομαζομενην Θαμαρ. | 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar. |
| 7 Ο Ηρ δε ο πρωτοτοκος του Ιουδα εσταθη κακος εμπροσθεν του Κυριου? και εθανατωσεν αυτον ο Κυριος. | 7 But Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. |
| 8 Ειπε δε ο Ιουδας προς τον Αυναν? εισελθε προς την γυναικα του αδελφου σου, και νυμφευθητι αυτην, και αναστησον σπερμα εις τον αδελφον σου. | 8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother." |
| 9 Αλλ' ο Αυναν ηξευρεν, οτι το σπερμα δεν ηθελεν εισθαι ιδικον του? δια τουτο, οτε εισηρχετο προς την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου, εξεχυνεν επι την γην, δια να μη δωση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου. | 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife he spilled the semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother. |
| 10 Και τουτο το οποιον επραττεν εφανη κακον εμπροσθεν του Κυριου? οθεν εθανατωσε και τουτον. | 10 And what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD, and he slew him also. |
| 11 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας προς την Θαμαρ την νυμφην αυτου, Καθου χηρα εν τω οικω του πατρος σου, εωσου Σηλα ο υιος μου γεινη μεγαλος? διοτι ελεγε, Μηπως αποθανη και ουτος, καθως οι αδελφοι αυτου. Υπηγε λοιπον η Θαμαρ και κατωκησεν εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτης. | 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up"--for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. |
| 12 Και μετα πολλας ημερας απεθανεν η θυγατηρ του Σουα, η γυνη του Ιουδα? και αφου παρηγορηθη ο Ιουδας, ανεβη προς τους κουρευτας των προβατων αυτου εις Θαμνα, αυτος και ο φιλος αυτου Ειρα ο Οδολλαμιτης. | 12 In course of time the wife of Judah, Shua's daughter, died; and when Judah was comforted, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. |
| 13 Και ανηγγειλαν προς την Θαμαρ, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο πενθερος σου αναβαινει εις Θαμνα δια να κουρευση τα προβατα αυτου. | 13 And when Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep," |
| 14 Η δε απεκδυθεισα τα ενδυματα της χηρειας αυτης, εσκεπασθη με καλυμμα και περιετυλιχθη και εκαθισε κατα την διοδον την εν τη οδω της Θαμνα? διοτι ειδεν οτι εγεινε μεγαλος ο Σηλα, και αυτη δεν εδοθη εις αυτον δια γυναικα. | 14 she put off her widow's garments, and put on a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage. |
| 15 Και οτε ειδεν αυτην ο Ιουδας, ενομισεν αυτην πορνην? διοτι ειχε κεκαλυμμενον το προσωπον αυτης. | 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face. |
| 16 Και κατα την οδον ετραπη προς αυτην, και ειπεν, Αφες με, παρακαλω, να εισελθω προς σε? διοτι δεν εγνωρισεν οτι ητο η νυμφη αυτου. Η δε ειπε, Τι θελεις μοι δωσει, δια να εισελθης προς εμε; | 16 He went over to her at the road side, and said, "Come, let me come in to you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" |
| 17 Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω θελω σοι στειλει εριφιον αιγων εκ του ποιμνιου. Και εκεινη ειπε, Μοι διδεις ενεχυρον, εωσου να στειλης αυτο; | 17 He answered, "I will send you a kid from the flock." And she said, "Will you give me a pledge, till you send it?" |
| 18 Ο δε ειπε, Τι ενεχυρον να σοι δωσω; Και εκεινη ειπε, την σφραγιδα σου και το περιδερραιον σου και την ραβδον σου την εν τη χειρι σου. Και εδωκεν αυτα εις αυτην και εισηλθε προς αυτην, και συνελαβεν εξ αυτου. | 18 He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" She replied, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. |
| 19 Μετα ταυτα σηκωθεισα, ανεχωρησε και απεκδυθεισα το καλυμμα αυτης, ενεδυθη τα ενδυματα της χηρειας αυτης. | 19 Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood. |
| 20 Ο δε Ιουδας εστειλε το εριφιον των αιγων δια χειρος του φιλου αυτου του Οδολλαμιτου, δια να παραλαβη το ενεχυρον εκ της χειρος της γυναικος? πλην δεν ευρηκεν αυτην? | 20 When Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he could not find her. |
| 21 και ηρωτησε τους ανθρωπους του τοπου αυτης, λεγων, Που ειναι η πορνη, ητις ητο κατα την διοδον επι της οδου; οι δε ειπον, Δεν εσταθη εδω πορνη. | 21 And he asked the men of the place, "Where is the harlot who was at Enaim by the wayside?" And they said, "No harlot has been here." |
| 22 Και επεστρεψε προς τον Ιουδαν και ειπε, Δεν ευρηκα αυτην? μαλιστα οι ανθρωποι του τοπου ειπον, Δεν εσταθη εδω πορνη. | 22 So he returned to Judah, and said, "I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, 'No harlot has been here.'" |
| 23 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας, Ας εχη αυτα, δια να μη γεινωμεν ονειδος? ιδου, εγω εστειλα το εριφιον τουτο, συ ομως δεν ευρηκας αυτην. | 23 And Judah replied, "Let her keep the things as her own, lest we be laughed at; you see, I sent this kid, and you could not find her." |
| 24 Και μετα τρεις μηνας περιπου, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Ιουδαν, λεγοντες, Θαμαρ η νυμφη σου επορνευθη, και μαλιστα, ιδου, ειναι εγκυος εκ πορνειας. Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας, Φερετε αυτην εξω και ας κατακαυθη. | 24 About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry." And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned." |
| 25 Και οτε εφερετο εξω, απεστειλε προς τον πενθερον αυτης, λεγουσα, Εκ του ανθρωπου, του οποιου ειναι ταυτα, ειμαι εγγυος? και ειπεν ετι, Γνωρισον, παρακαλω, τινος ειναι η σφραγις και το περιδερραιον, και η ραβδος αυτη. | 25 As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff." |
| 26 Και ο Ιουδας εγνωρισεν αυτα? και ειπεν, Αυτη ειναι δικαιοτερα εμου, διοτι δεν εδωκα αυτην εις τον Σηλα τον υιον μου. Και ετι πλεον δεν εγνωρισεν αυτην. | 26 Then Judah acknowledged them and said, "She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not lie with her again. |
| 27 Και καθ' ον καιρον εμελλε να γεννηση, ιδου, διδυμα εν τη κοιλια αυτης. | 27 When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb. |
| 28 Και ενω εγεννα, το εν επροβαλεν εξω την χειρα? και η μαια λαβουσα, εδεσεν επι την χειρα αυτου νημα κοκκινον, λεγουσα, Ουτος εξηλθε πρωτος. | 28 And when she was in labor, one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, "This came out first." |
| 29 Και καθως εσυρεν οπισω την χειρα αυτου, ιδου, εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου? και αυτη ειπε, Ποιον χαλασμον εκαμες; επι σε ας ηναι ο χαλασμος? δια τουτο εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Φαρες. | 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" Therefore his name was called Perez. |
| 30 Και επειτα εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου, οστις ειχε το κοκκινον νημα επι την χειρα αυτου? και εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Ζαρα. | 30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah. |
