Нач 38
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Иуда и Фамарь
38 Иуда в то время оставил братьев и поселился у одного человека из Адуллама по имени Хира. 2 Там Иуда встретил дочь ханонея, которого звали Шуа. Он женился на ней и стал с ней жить; 3 она забеременела и родила сына, которого назвали Ир. 4 Она вновь забеременела и родила сына, и назвала его Онан. 5 Она родила ещё одного сына и назвала его Шела. Она родила его в Хезиве[a].
6 Иуда взял для своего первенца Ира жену по имени Фамарь. 7 Но Ир, первенец Иуды, был грешен в глазах Вечного, и Вечный предал его смерти.
8 Тогда Иуда сказал Онану:
– Ты должен лечь с женой брата и исполнить долг деверя: произвести потомство для брата[b].
9 Но Онан знал, что потомство будет не его, и поэтому всякий раз, ложась с женой брата, он изливал семя на землю, чтобы не произвести потомства для брата. 10 То, что он делал, было грешно в глазах Вечного, поэтому Он предал смерти и Онана.
11 Тогда Иуда сказал своей невестке Фамари:
– Живи вдовой в доме у твоего отца, пока не вырастет мой сын Шела, – потому что он подумал: «Как бы и Шела не умер вслед за братьями».
И Фамарь отправилась жить в дом отца. 12 Много времени спустя жена Иуды, дочь Шуа, умерла. Когда Иуда утешился по ней, он пошёл в Тимну, к людям, которые стригли его овец, и его друг адулламитянин Хира пошёл с ним.
13 Фамари сказали:
– Твой свёкор держит путь в Тимну стричь своих овец.
14 Она сняла вдовьи одежды, покрылась накидкой, чтобы её не узнали, и села у входа в Енаим, который на дороге в Тимну, потому что она видела, что хотя Шела уже вырос, её не отдали ему в жёны.
15 Когда Иуда увидел Фамарь, он принял её за блудницу, потому что у неё было закрыто лицо. 16 Он свернул с дороги к ней и сказал:
– Пойдём, я хочу лечь с тобой, – ведь он не знал, что это его невестка.
Она спросила:
– А что ты дашь мне за то, чтобы лечь со мной?
17 Он ответил:
– Я пошлю тебе козлёнка из моего стада.
Она спросила:
– А ты дашь мне залог до тех пор, пока не пришлёшь козлёнка?
18 Он сказал:
– Какой залог тебе дать?
Она ответила:
– Твою печать на шнурке и посох, который у тебя в руке.
Он дал ей всё это и переспал с ней, и она забеременела от него. 19 Уйдя оттуда, она сняла своё покрывало и вновь надела вдовьи одежды.
20 Тем временем Иуда послал через своего друга, адулламитянина, козлёнка, чтобы получить назад залог у той женщины, но друг не нашёл её. 21 Он спросил у местных жителей:
– Где та храмовая блудница[c], которая сидела у дороги в Енаим?
Они ответили:
– Здесь не было никакой храмовой блудницы.
22 Он вернулся к Иуде и сказал:
– Я не нашёл её, и жители того места сказали: «Здесь нет никакой храмовой блудницы».
23 Иуда сказал:
– Пусть оставит себе то, что взяла, иначе мы станем посмешищем. Я ведь посылал ей козлёнка, но ты её не нашёл.
24 Месяца три спустя Иуде сказали:
– Твоя невестка Фамарь впала в блуд и от этого забеременела.
Иуда сказал:
– Выведите её, и пусть она будет сожжена!
25 Но когда её уводили, она послала к свёкру с такими словами:
– Я беременна от человека, которому принадлежат эти вещи.
Ещё она сказала:
– Посмотри, не узнаёшь, чьи это печать, шнур и посох?
26 Иуда узнал их и сказал:
– Она правее, чем я, потому что я не отдал её за моего сына Шелу.
И он больше не ложился с ней.
27 Когда пришло ей время рожать, в утробе у неё оказались мальчики-близнецы. 28 Когда она уже рожала, один из них высунул руку; тогда женщина, принимавшая роды взяла алую нить, обвязала ему запястье и сказала:
– Этот вышел первым.
29 Но он втянул руку обратно, и вышел его брат; тогда она сказала:
– Как это ты прорвался?
И его назвали Фарец («прорыв»). 30 Затем вышел и тот, у которого на запястье была алая нить, и ему дали имя Зерах («алый свет зари»).

Genesis 38
English Standard Version
Judah and Tamar
38 It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and (A)turned aside to a certain (B)Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was (C)Shua. He took her and went in to her, 3 and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name (D)Er. 4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name (E)Onan. 5 Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name (F)Shelah. Judah[a] was in Chezib when she bore him.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, (G)was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord put him to death. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to (H)your brother's wife and (I)perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. 10 And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, (J)“Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained (K)in her father's house.
12 In the course of time the wife of Judah, Shua's daughter, died. When Judah (L)was comforted, he went up to (M)Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And when Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 14 she took off her widow's garments (N)and covered herself with a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to (O)Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, (P)and she had not been given to him in marriage. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 16 He turned to her at the roadside and said, “Come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 17 He answered, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “If you give me a pledge, until you send it—” 18 He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, (Q)“Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she arose and went away, and taking off (R)her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her. 21 And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the cult prostitute[b] who was at (S)Enaim at the roadside?” And they said, “No cult prostitute has been here.” 22 So he returned to Judah and said, “I have not found her. Also, the men of the place said, ‘No cult prostitute has been here.’” 23 And Judah replied, “Let her keep the things as her own, or we shall be laughed at. You see, I sent this young goat, and you did not find her.”
24 About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law (T)has been immoral.[c] Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”[d] And Judah said, “Bring her out, and (U)let her be burned.” 25 As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, (V)the signet and the cord and the staff.” 26 Then Judah identified them and said, (W)“She is more righteous than I, since (X)I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.
27 When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb. 28 And when she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called (Y)Perez.[e] 30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called (Z)Zerah.

Judah and Tamar
38 It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adul′lamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; he married her and went in to her, 3 and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. 4 Again she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. 5 Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. She[a] was in Chezib when she bore him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife he spilled the semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother. 10 And what he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord, and he slew him also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 In course of time the wife of Judah, Shua’s daughter, died; and when Judah was comforted, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And when Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 14 she put off her widow’s garments, and put on a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, for she had covered her face. 16 He went over to her at the road side, and said, “Come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?” 17 He answered, “I will send you a kid from the flock.” And she said, “Will you give me a pledge, till you send it?” 18 He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 When Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, he could not find her. 21 And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the harlot[b] who was at Enaim by the wayside?” And they said, “No harlot[c] has been here.” 22 So he returned to Judah, and said, “I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘No harlot[d] has been here.’” 23 And Judah replied, “Let her keep the things as her own, lest we be laughed at; you see, I sent this kid, and you could not find her.”
24 About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry.” And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.” 25 As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am with child.” And she said, “Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.” 26 Then Judah acknowledged them and said, “She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not lie with her again.
27 When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb. 28 And when she was in labor, one put out a hand; and the midwife took and bound on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This came out first.” 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out; and she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called Perez.[e] 30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah.
