Genesis 38

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 About that time Judah parted from his brothers and pitched his tent near a certain Adullamite named Hirah.	1 εγενετο δε εν τω καιρω εκεινω κατεβη ιουδας απο των αδελφων αυτου και αφικετο εως προς ανθρωπον τινα οδολλαμιτην ω ονομα ιρας
2 There he met the daughter of a Canaanite named Shua, married her, and had relations with her.	2 και ειδεν εκει ιουδας θυγατερα ανθρωπου χαναναιου η ονομα σαυα και ελαβεν αυτην και εισηλθεν προς αυτην
3 She conceived and bore a son, whom she named Er.	3 και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ηρ
4 Again she conceived and bore a son, whom she named Onan.	4 και συλλαβουσα ετι ετεκεν υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου αυναν
5 Then she bore still another son, whom she named Shelah. They were in Chezib when he was born.	5 και προσθεισα ετι ετεκεν υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου σηλωμ αυτη δε ην εν χασβι ηνικα ετεκεν αυτους
6 Judah got a wife named Tamar for his first-born, Er.	6 και ελαβεν ιουδας γυναικα ηρ τω πρωτοτοκω αυτου η ονομα θαμαρ
7 But Er, Judah's first-born, greatly offended the LORD; so the LORD took his life.	7 εγενετο δε ηρ πρωτοτοκος ιουδα πονηρος εναντιον κυριου και απεκτεινεν αυτον ο θεος
8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Unite with your brother's widow, in fulfillment of your duty as brother-in-law, and thus preserve your brother's line."	8 ειπεν δε ιουδας τω αυναν εισελθε προς την γυναικα του αδελφου σου και γαμβρευσαι αυτην και αναστησον σπερμα τω αδελφω σου
9 Onan, however, knew that the descendants would not be counted as his; so whenever he had relations with his brother's widow, he wasted his seed on the ground, to avoid contributing offspring for his brother.	9 γνους δε αυναν οτι ουκ αυτω εσται το σπερμα εγινετο οταν εισηρχετο προς την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου εξεχεεν επι την γην του μη δουναι σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου
10 What he did greatly offended the LORD, and the LORD took his life too.	10 πονηρον δε εφανη εναντιον του θεου οτι εποιησεν τουτο και εθανατωσεν και τουτον
11 Thereupon Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Stay as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up"--for he feared that Shelah also might die like his brothers. So Tamar went to live in her father's house.	11 ειπεν δε ιουδας θαμαρ τη νυμφη αυτου καθου χηρα εν τω οικω του πατρος σου εως μεγας γενηται σηλωμ ο υιος μου ειπεν γαρ μηποτε αποθανη και ουτος ωσπερ οι αδελφοι αυτου απελθουσα δε θαμαρ εκαθητο εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτης
12 Years passed, and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah completed the period of mourning, he went up to Timnah for the shearing of his sheep, in company with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.	12 επληθυνθησαν δε αι ημεραι και απεθανεν σαυα η γυνη ιουδα και παρακληθεις ιουδας ανεβη επι τους κειροντας τα προβατα αυτου αυτος και ιρας ο ποιμην αυτου ο οδολλαμιτης εις θαμνα
13 When Tamar was told that her father-in-law was on his way up to Timnah to shear his sheep,	13 και απηγγελη θαμαρ τη νυμφη αυτου λεγοντες ιδου ο πενθερος σου αναβαινει εις θαμνα κειραι τα προβατα αυτου
14 she took off her widow's garb, veiled her face by covering herself with a shawl, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she was aware that, although Shelah was now grown up, she had not been given to him in marriage.	14 και περιελομενη τα ιματια της χηρευσεως αφ' εαυτης περιεβαλετο θεριστρον και εκαλλωπισατο και εκαθισεν προς ταις πυλαις αιναν η εστιν εν παροδω θαμνα ειδεν γαρ οτι μεγας γεγονεν σηλωμ αυτος δε ουκ εδωκεν αυτην αυτω γυναικα
15 When Judah saw her, he mistook her for a harlot, since she had covered her face.	15 και ιδων αυτην ιουδας εδοξεν αυτην πορνην ειναι κατεκαλυψατο γαρ το προσωπον αυτης και ουκ επεγνω αυτην
16 So he went over to her at the roadside, and not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he said, "Come, let me have intercourse with you." She replied, "What will you pay me for letting you have intercourse with me?"	16 εξεκλινεν δε προς αυτην την οδον και ειπεν αυτη εασον με εισελθειν προς σε ου γαρ εγνω οτι η νυμφη αυτου εστιν η δε ειπεν τι μοι δωσεις εαν εισελθης προς με
17 He answered, "I will send you a kid from the flock." "Very well," she said, "provided you leave a pledge until you send it."	17 ο δε ειπεν εγω σοι αποστελω εριφον αιγων εκ των προβατων η δε ειπεν εαν δως αρραβωνα εως του αποστειλαι σε
18 Judah asked, "What pledge am I to give to you?" She answered, "Your seal and cord, and the staff you carry." So he gave them to her and had intercourse with her, and she conceived by him.	18 ο δε ειπεν τινα τον αρραβωνα σοι δωσω η δε ειπεν τον δακτυλιον σου και τον ορμισκον και την ραβδον την εν τη χειρι σου και εδωκεν αυτη και εισηλθεν προς αυτην και εν γαστρι ελαβεν εξ αυτου
19 When she went away, she took off her shawl and put on her widow's garb again.	19 και αναστασα απηλθεν και περιειλατο το θεριστρον αφ' εαυτης και ενεδυσατο τα ιματια της χηρευσεως αυτης
20 Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite to recover the pledge from the woman; but he could not find her.	20 απεστειλεν δε ιουδας τον εριφον εξ αιγων εν χειρι του ποιμενος αυτου του οδολλαμιτου κομισασθαι τον αρραβωνα παρα της γυναικος και ουχ ευρεν αυτην
21 So he asked the men of the place, "Where is the temple prostitute, the one by the roadside in Enaim?" But they answered, "There has never been a temple prostitute here."	21 επηρωτησεν δε τους ανδρας τους εκ του τοπου που εστιν η πορνη η γενομενη εν αιναν επι της οδου και ειπαν ουκ ην ενταυθα πορνη
22 He went back to Judah and told him, "I could not find her; and besides, the men of the place said there was no temple prostitute there."	22 και απεστραφη προς ιουδαν και ειπεν ουχ ευρον και οι ανθρωποι οι εκ του τοπου λεγουσιν μη ειναι ωδε πορνην
23 "Let her keep the things," Judah replied; "otherwise we shall become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her the kid, even though you were unable to find her."	23 ειπεν δε ιουδας εχετω αυτα αλλα μηποτε καταγελασθωμεν εγω μεν απεσταλκα τον εριφον τουτον συ δε ουχ ευρηκας
24 About three months later, Judah was told that his daughter-in-law Tamar had played the harlot and was then with child from her harlotry. "Bring her out," cried Judah; "she shall be burned."	24 εγενετο δε μετα τριμηνον απηγγελη τω ιουδα λεγοντες εκπεπορνευκεν θαμαρ η νυμφη σου και ιδου εν γαστρι εχει εκ πορνειας ειπεν δε ιουδας εξαγαγετε αυτην και κατακαυθητω
25 But as they were bringing her out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "It is by the man to whom these things belong that I am with child. Please verify," she added, "whose seal and cord and whose staff these are."	25 αυτη δε αγομενη απεστειλεν προς τον πενθερον αυτης λεγουσα εκ του ανθρωπου τινος ταυτα εστιν εγω εν γαστρι εχω και ειπεν επιγνωθι τινος ο δακτυλιος και ο ορμισκος και η ραβδος αυτη
26 Judah recognized them and said, "She is more in the right than I am, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." But he had no further relations with her.	26 επεγνω δε ιουδας και ειπεν δεδικαιωται θαμαρ η εγω ου εινεκεν ουκ εδωκα αυτην σηλωμ τω υιω μου και ου προσεθετο ετι του γνωναι αυτην
27 When the time of her delivery came, she was found to have twins in her womb.	27 εγενετο δε ηνικα ετικτεν και τηδε ην διδυμα εν τη γαστρι αυτης
28 While she was giving birth, one infant put out his hand; and the midwife, taking a crimson thread, tied it on his hand, to note that this one came out first.	28 εγενετο δε εν τω τικτειν αυτην ο εις προεξηνεγκεν την χειρα λαβουσα δε η μαια εδησεν επι την χειρα αυτου κοκκινον λεγουσα ουτος εξελευσεται προτερος
29 But as he withdrew his hand, his brother came out; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he was called Perez.	29 ως δε επισυνηγαγεν την χειρα και ευθυς εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου η δε ειπεν τι διεκοπη δια σε φραγμος και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου φαρες
30 Afterward his brother came out; he was called Zerah.	30 και μετα τουτο εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου εφ' ω ην επι τη χειρι αυτου το κοκκινον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ζαρα
