Genesis 38

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblia Matos Soares
1 About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.	1 No mesmo tempo, apartando-se Judá de seus irmãos, foi ter a casa de um homem odolamita, chamado Hirão,
2 And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.	2 e viu ali a filha de um homem cananeu, chamado Sue, recebeu-a por mulher e viveu com ela.
3 And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.	3 Ela concebeu e deu à luz um filho, a que pôs o nome de Her.
4 And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.	4 Concebendo outra vez, pôs ao filho nascido o nome de Onan.
5 Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.	5 Deu à luz ainda um terceiro filho, a quem chamou Sela. Nascido este, cessou de dar à luz.
6 Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.	6 Judá deu uma mulher, chamada Tamar, ao seu primogênito Her.
7 And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.	7 Her, primogênito de Judá, foi um homem mau, na presença do Senhor, e (o Senhor) o fez morrer.
8 Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.”	8 Disse, pois, Judá a Onan, seu filho: Desposa a mulher de teu irmão, vive com ela, para suscitares descendência a teu irmão.
9 He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.	9 Ele, porém, sabendo que os filhos que nascessem não seriam seus, quando se juntava com a mulher de seu irmão, impedia que ela concebesse a fim de que não nascessem filhos em nome de seu irmão.
10 And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.	10 Por isso, o Senhor o feriu de morte, porque fazia uma coisa detestável.
11 Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived in her father’s house.	11 Pelo que Judá disse a Tamar, sua nora: Conserva-te viúva em casa de teu pai até que cresça Sela, meu filho. Com efeito, temia que ele também morresse, como seus irmãos. Ela retirou-se e habitou em casa de seu pai.
12 Then, after many days had passed, the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. And when he accepted consolation after his mourning, he went up to the shearers of his sheep at Timnah, he and Hirah, the herdsman of the Adullamite flock.	12 Passados muitos dias, morreu a filha de Sue, mulher de Judá, o qual, depois de a ter chorado, e terminado o luto, foi a Tamnas ter com os tosquiadores das suas ovelhas, juntamente com Hiras odolamita, pastor dos rebanhos.
13 And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the sheep.	13 Noticiaram a Tamar que seu sogro ia a Tamnas para tosquiar as ovelhas.
14 And storing away the garments of her widowhood, she took up a veil. And changing her clothing, she sat at the crossroad that leads to Timnah, because Shelah had grown up, and she had not received him as a husband.	14 Então ela, depondo os vestidos de viúva, tomou um véu e, disfarçada, sentou-se na encruzilhada do caminho, que conduz a Tamnas, porque (via que) Sela tinha crescido, e (o pai dele) não lho tinha dado por marido.
15 And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.	15 Judá, tendo-a visto, julgou que era meretriz, porque tinha coberto o seu rosto para não ser reconhecida.
16 And entering to her, he said, “Permit me to join with you.” For he did not know her to be his daughter-in-law. And she responded, “What will you give to me, to enjoy me as a concubine?”	16 Chegando-se a ela, disse: Deixa que me junte contigo. De facto ignorava que fosse sua nora. Ela disse: Que me darás por isso?
17 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And again, she said, “I will allow what you want, if you give me a pledge, until you may send what you promise.”	17 Ele respondeu: Mandar-te-ei um cabrito dos (meus) rebanhos. Ela replicou: Consentirei no que queres, contanto que me dês um penhor, até que mandes o que prometes.
18 Judah said, “What do you want to be given for a pledge?” She responded, “Your ring and bracelet, and the staff that you hold in your hand.” Thereupon, the woman, from one sexual encounter, conceived.	18 Judá disse: Que queres tu que te dê por penhor? Respondeu: O teu anel, e o cordão e o cajado que tens na mão. Ele deu-lhos, esteve com ela, e a mulher concebeu com esse ajuntamento.
19 And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.	19 Depois, levantando-se, retirou-se, e, deposto o traje que havia tomado, vestiu-se com os vestidos de viúva.
20 Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found her,	20 Ora Judá mandou o cabrito pelo seu pastor odolamita, para receber o penhor que tinha dado à mulher; ele, porém, não a tendo encontrado,
21 he questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”	21 perguntou aos habitantes daquele lugar: onde se encontra aquela mulher que estava sentada na encruzilhada? Responderam-lhe todos: Neste lugar não esteve meretriz alguma.
22 He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”	22 Voltou para Judá, e disse-lhe: Não a encontrei; além disso, os homens daquele lugar disseram-me que nunca ali estivera sentada meretriz alguma.
23 Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did not find her.”	23 Judá disse: Guarde ela (o penhor que lhe dei); ao menos não pode acusar-me de mentira: mandei o cabrito que tinha prometido e tu não a encontraste.
24 And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”	24 Mas, três meses depois, foram dizer a Judá: Tamar, tua nora, prostituiu-se, e vê-se que está grávida. Judá disse: Tirai-a para fora para ser queimada.
25 But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”	25 Enquanto era conduzida ao suplício, mandou dizer a seu sogro: Eu concebi do varão, de quem são estas coisas: vê de quem é o anel, e o cordão, e o cajado.
26 But he, acknowledging the gifts, said: “She is more just than I am. For I did not deliver her to my son Shelah.” However, he knew her no more.	26 Ele, reconhecidas as dádivas disse: Ela é mais justa do que eu, pois que a não entreguei a meu filho Sela. Ele, todavia, não a conheceu mais.
27 Then, at the moment of birth, there appeared twins in the womb. And so, in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, on which the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying,	27 Mas, quando estava para dar ã luz, apareceram dois gêmeos no ventre: e, na saída dos meninos, um deitou de fora a mão, na qual a parteira atou um fio vermelho, dizendo;
28 “This one will go out first.”	28 Este sairá primeiro.
29 But in truth, drawing back his hand, the other came out. And the woman said, “Why is the partition divided for you?” And for this reason, she called his name Perez.	29 Porém, recolhendo ele a mão, saiu o outro: e a mulher disse: Que brecha tu abriste! Por este motivo pôs-lhe o nome de Farés.
30 After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.	30 Depois saiu seu irmão, em cuja mão estava o fio vermelho, e chamou-o Zara.
