ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 38

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον κατεβη ο Ιουδας απο των αδελφων αυτου και ετραπη προς ανθρωπον τινα Οδολλαμιτην ονομαζομενον Ειρα.	1 About that time Judah parted from his brothers and pitched his tent near a certain Adullamite named Hirah.
2 Και ειδεν εκει ο Ιουδας την θυγατερα τινος Χαναναιου, ονομαζομενου Σουα? και ελαβεν αυτην και εισηλθε προς αυτην.	2 There he met the daughter of a Canaanite named Shua, married her, and had relations with her.
3 Η δε συνελαβε, και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ηρ.	3 She conceived and bore a son, whom she named Er.
4 Συνελαβε δε παλιν και εγεννησεν υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Αυναν.	4 Again she conceived and bore a son, whom she named Onan.
5 Εγεννησε δε παλιν και αλλον υιον? και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σηλα? ητο δε ο Ιουδας εν Χασβι, οτε εγεννησε τουτον.	5 Then she bore still another son, whom she named Shelah. They were in Chezib when he was born.
6 Και ελαβεν ο Ιουδας γυναικα εις τον Ηρ τον πρωτοτοκον αυτου, ονομαζομενην Θαμαρ.	6 Judah got a wife named Tamar for his first-born, Er.
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, greatly offended the LORD; so the LORD took his life.
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, "Unite with your brother's widow, in fulfillment of your duty as brother-in-law, and thus preserve your brother's line."
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 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.
10 Και τουτο το οποιον επραττεν εφανη κακον εμπροσθεν του Κυριου? οθεν εθανατωσε και τουτον.	10 What he did greatly offended the LORD, and the LORD took his life too.
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 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.
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 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.
13 Και ανηγγειλαν προς την Θαμαρ, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο πενθερος σου αναβαινει εις Θαμνα δια να κουρευση τα προβατα αυτου.	13 When Tamar was told that her father-in-law was on his way 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 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.
15 Και οτε ειδεν αυτην ο Ιουδας, ενομισεν αυτην πορνην? διοτι ειχε κεκαλυμμενον το προσωπον αυτης.	15 When Judah saw her, he mistook her for a harlot, since 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 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?"
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." "Very well," she said, "provided you leave a pledge until 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 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.
19 Μετα ταυτα σηκωθεισα, ανεχωρησε και απεκδυθεισα το καλυμμα αυτης, ενεδυθη τα ενδυματα της χηρειας αυτης.	19 When she went away, she took off her shawl and put on her widow's garb again.
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 Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite to recover the pledge from the woman; but 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 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."
22 Και επεστρεψε προς τον Ιουδαν και ειπε, Δεν ευρηκα αυτην? μαλιστα οι ανθρωποι του τοπου ειπον, Δεν εσταθη εδω 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."
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 "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."
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 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."
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 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."
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 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.
27 Και καθ' ον καιρον εμελλε να γεννηση, ιδου, διδυμα εν τη κοιλια αυτης.	27 When the time of her delivery came, she was found to have 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 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.
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 withdrew his hand, his brother came out; and she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he 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; he was called Zerah.
