Genesis 38

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras.	1 Eo tempore descendens Iudas a fratribus suis divertit ad virum Odollamitem nomine Hiram.
2 And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her.	2 Viditque ibi filiam hominis Chananaei vocabulo Sue et, accepta uxore, ingressus est ad eam.
3 And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her.	3 Quae concepit et peperit filium vocavitque nomen eius Her.
4 And conceiving again, she bore a son, and called him Onan.	4 Rursumque concepto fetu, natum filium nominavit Onan.
5 She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.	5 Tertium quoque peperit, quem appellavit Sela. Ipsa autem erat in Chasib, quando peperit illum.
6 And Juda took a wife for Her his firstborn, whose name was Thamar.	6 Dedit autem Iudas uxorem primogenito suo Her nomine Thamar.
7 And Her, the firstborn of Juda, was wicked in the sight of the Lord: and was slain by him.	7 Fuit quoque Her primogenitus Iudae nequam in conspectu Domini, et ab eo occisus est.
8 Juda, therefore add to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother.	8 Dixit ergo Iudas ad Onan: “ Ingredere ad uxorem fratris tui et sociare illi, ut suscites semen fratri tuo ”.
9 He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name.	9 Ille, sciens non sibi nasci hunc filium, introiens ad uxorem fratris sui semen fundebat in terram, ne proles fratris nomine nasceretur.
10 And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing.	10 Et idcirco occidit et eum Dominus, quod rem detestabilem fecerat.
11 Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter in law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way and dwelt in her father's house.	11 Quam ob rem dixit Iudas Thamar nurui suae: “ Esto vidua in domo patris tui, donec crescat Sela filius meus ”. Timebat, enim, ne et ipse moreretur sicut fratres eius. Quae abiit et habitavit in domo patris sui.
12 And after many days were past, the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite the shepherd of his flock.	12 Evolutis autem multis diebus, mortua est filia Sue uxor Iudae. Qui, post luctum consolatione suscepta, ascendebat ad tonsores ovium suarum ipse et Hiras amicus suus Odollamites in Thamnam.
13 And it was told Thamar that her father in law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep.	13 Nuntiatumque est Thamar quod socer illius ascenderet in Thamnam ad tondendas oves.
14 And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.	14 Quae, depositis viduitatis vestibus, cooperuit se velo et, mutato habitu, sedit in porta Enaim in via, quae ducit Thamnam; eo quod crevisset Sela, et non eum accepisset maritum.

16 When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.	16 Declinansque ad eam in via ait: “ Veni, coeam tecum ”; nesciebat enim quod nurus sua esset. Qua respondente: “ Quid mihi dabis, ut fruaris concubitu meo? ”,
	17 dixit: “ Mittam tibi haedum de gregibus ”. Rursum illa dicente: “ Si dederis mihi arrabonem, donec mittas illum ”,
18 He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest,	18 ait Iudas: “ Quid vis tibi pro arrabone dari? ”. Respondit: “ Sigillum tuum et funiculum et baculum, quem manu tenes ”. Et dedit ei. In coitu cum eo mulier concepit
19 Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge ? She answered: Thy ring and bracelet, and the staff which thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therefore at one copulation conceived.	19 et surgens abiit; depositoque velo, induta est viduitatis vestibus.
20 And she arose and went her way: and putting off the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments of her widowhood.	20 Misit autem Iudas haedum per amicum suum Odollamitem, ut reciperet pignus, quod dederat mulieri. Qui cum non invenisset eam,
21 And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her,	21 interrogavit homines loci illius: “ Ubi est meretrix, quae sedebat in Enaim in via? ”. Respondentibus cunctis: “ Non fuit in loco isto meretrix ”,
22 asked the men of that place : Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place,	22 reversus est ad Iudam et dixit ei: “ Non inveni eam; sed et homines loci illius dixerunt mihi numquam ibi sedisse scortum ”.
23 He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.	23 Ait Iudas: “ Habeat sibi; ne simus in ludibrium. Ego misi haedum, quem promiseram, et tu non invenisti eam ”.
24 Juda said : Let her take it to herself ; surely she cannot charge us with a,lie: I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her.	24 Ecce autem post tres menses nuntiaverunt Iudae dicentes: “ Fornicata est Thamar nurus tua et gravida est ex fornicatione ”. Dixitque Iudas: “ Producite eam, ut comburatur ”.
25 And behold after three months they told a lie, saying: Thamar, thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said : Bring her out that she may be burnt.	25 Quae cum educeretur ad poenam, misit ad socerum suum dicens: “ De viro, cuius haec sunt, concepi; cognosce cuius sit sigillum et funiculus et baculus ”.

27 But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.	27 Instante autem partu, apparuerunt gemini in utero; atque in ipsa effusione infantium unus protulit manum, in qua obstetrix ligavit coccinum dicens:
	28 “ Iste egressus est prior ”.
29 And when she was ready to be brought to bed, there appeared twins in her womb: and in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, whereon the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying:	29 Illo vero retrahente manum, egressus est frater eius; dixitque mulier: “ Qualem rupisti tibi rupturam? ”. Et ob hanc causam vocatum est nomen eius Phares (id est Ruptura).
30 This shall come forth the first.	30 Postea egressus est frater eius, in cuius manu erat coccinum; qui appellatus est Zara (id est Ortus solis).
