1 Now at that time, Judah went away from his brothers and became the friend of a man of Adullam named Hirah.
2 And there he saw the daughter of a certain man of Canaan named Shua, and took her as his wife.
3 And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er.
4 And again she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Onan.
5 Then she had another son, to whom she gave the name Shelah; she was at Chezib when the birth took place.
6 And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.
7 Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother.
9 But Onan, seeing that the offspring would not be his, went in to his brother's wife, but let his seed go on to the earth, so that he might not get offspring for his brother.
10 And what he did was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death, like his brother.
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.
12 And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.
13 And when Tamar had news that her father-in-law was going up to Timnah to the wool-cutting,
14 She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.
15 When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.
16 And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?
17 And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?
18 And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.
19 Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing.
20 Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.
21 And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.
22 So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.
23 And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.
24 Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.
25 And while she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, The man whose property these things are, is the father of my child: say then, whose are this ring and this cord and this stick?
26 Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.
27 And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.
28 And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.
29 But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.
30 And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.
1 I taua wa ka maunu atu a Hura I roto i ona tuakana, a peka ana ki tetahi Aturami, ko Hira tona ingoa.
2 A kitea ana e Hura i reira te tamahine a tetahi Kanaani, ko Huaha tona ingoa: na ka tango ia i a ia, a haere ana ki roto, ki a ia.
3 Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Ere:
4 Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Onana.
5 A ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a huaina iho tona ingoa ko Heraha: i Ketipi hoki te tane i tona whanautanga.
6 Na ka tangohia e Hura he wahine ma Ere, ma tana matamua, ko tona ingoa ko Tamara.
7 He tangata kino a Ere matamua a Hura ki ta Ihowa titiro; a whakamatea ana ia e Ihowa.
8 Na ka mea a Hura ki a Onana, Haere ki roto, ki te wahine a tou tuakana, hei whakakapi mo te whawharua, kia whai uri ai tou tuakana.
9 I mohio ano a Onana e kore e waiho te uri mona; a, i tona haerenga ki te wahine a tona tuakana, na ka tukua e ia kia heke atu ki te whenua, kei hoatu e ia he uri ki tona tuakana.
10 He kino hoki tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro: na ka whakamatea hoki ia.
11 Katahi ka mea a Hura ki a Tamara, ki tana hunaonga, Me noho pouaru koe ki te whare o tou papa, kia kaumatua ra ano a Heraha, taku tama; i mea hoki ia, Kei mate ano hoki tenei, kei pera me ona tuakana. Na ka haere a Tamara, a noho ana i te whare o tona papa.
12 A, ka maha nga ra, ka mate te tamahine a Huaha, te wahine a Hura; a ka marie a Hura, a ka haere raua ko tona hoa ko Hira Aturami ki runga ki Timinata, ki ana kaikutikuti hipi.
13 A ka korerotia ki a Tamara, ka meatia, Ko tou hungawai tenei te haere ake nei ki Timinata, ki te kutikuti i ana hipi.
14 Na ka whakarerea atu e ia ona kakahu pouaru, ka hipoki i a ia ki tona arai, roropi tonu ki a ia, a ka noho i te tomokanga ki Enaima, i te huarahi ki Timinata; i kite hoki ia kua kaumatua a Heraha, a kahore ano ia i hoatu hei wahine mana.
15 Na, ka kite a Hura i a ia, hua noa ia he wahine kairau; no te mea i hipokina tona mata.
16 Na ka peka ia ki te ara ki a ia, ka mea, Tukua atu ahau, ne? kia haere atu ki a koe; kihai hoki ia i mohio ko tana hunaonga ia. A ka mea ia, He aha tau e homai ai ki ahau, ki te haere mai koe ki ahau?
17 A ka mea ia, Ka tukua atu e ahau tetahi kuao koati o te kahui. A ka mea ia, Ka homai ranei e koe tetahi taunaha ki ahau, kia tukua mai ra ano taua mea e koe?
18 A ka mea ia, He aha te taunaha e hoatu e ahau ki a koe? Ka mea ia, Ko tou hiri, me au tau, me tau tokotoko i tou ringa. Na ka hoatu e ia ki a ia, a ka haere atu ia ki a ia, a ka hapu ia i a ia.
19 Na ka whakatika ia, a haere ana, whakarerea ana e ia tona arai, a kakahuria iho ona kakahu pouaru.
20 Na ka hoatu te kuao koati e Hura kia kawea e tona hoa e te Aturami, ki te tiki i te taunaha i te ringa o te wahine; a kihai ia i kitea.
21 A ka ui ia ki nga tangata o taua wahi, ka mea, Kei hea te wahine kairau i Enaima nei i te taha o te ara? A ka mea ratou, Kahore he wahine kairau i konei.
22 Na ka hoki ia ki a Hura, ka mea, Kahore ia i kitea e ahau; e mea ana hoki nga tangata o tera wahi, kahore he wahine kairau i reira.
23 Na ka mea a Hura, Tukua kia tangohia e ia, kei tawaia taua: titiro hoki, kua tukua atu nei e ahau te kuao nei, a kihai ia i kitea e koe.
24 A ka toru nga marama, na ka korerotia ki a Hura, ka meatia, Kua kairau a Tamara, tau hunaonga; kua hapu ano hoki ia i ona kairautanga. A ka mea a Hura, Kawea ki waho, kia tahuna.
25 A, ka kawea ia ki waho, ka tono tangata ia ki tona hungawai, ka mea, Na te tangata nana enei mea toku hapu: i mea ano ia, Tena, tirohia, na wai enei, te hiri nei, me nga tau, me te tokotoko.
26 Na ka mohiotia e Hura, a ka mea ia, Nui atu tona tika i toku; kihai hoki ia i hoatu e ahau ki a Heraha, ki taku tama. A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia i muri iho.
27 A ka taka ki te wa e whanau ai ia, na, he mahanga kei roto i tona kopu.
28 A, i tona whanautanga, na ka torona te ringa o tetahi: na ka mau te kaiwhakawhanau ki te miro whero, a herea ana ki tona ringa, ka mea, Ko tenei i puta mai i mua.
29 A, i tana whakahokinga atu i tona ringa, na ka puta mai tona tuakana; a ka mea ia, Ka tae tou pakaru mai! nau te pakaru mai: koia i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Parete.
30 A muri iho ka puta tona teina, i herea nei tona ringa ki te miro whero: a ka huaina tona ingoa ko Teraha.
