Genesis 38

Amadodana kaJuda

1 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi uJuda wehla esuka kubafowabo, waphambukela ^a endodeni yeAdulamu ^b, obizo layo linguHira. 2 UJuda wasebona lapho indodakazi yendoda umKhanani, obizo lakhe linguShuwa ^c; wayithatha wangena kuyo. 3 Yasithatha isisu, yazala indodana; waseyitha ibizo layo uEri. 4 Yasiphinda ithatha isisu, yazala indodana; yayitha ibizo layo uOnani ^d. 5 Yasisengezelela futhi yazala indodana, yayitha ibizo layo uShela; kodwa wayeseKezibi ekuyizaleni kwayo. 6 UJuda wasemthathela uEri izibulo lakhe umfazi ^e, njalo ibizo lakhe linguTamari. 7 Kodwa uEri, izibulo likaJuda, wayemubi emehlweni eNkosi; iNkosi yasimbulala ^f. 8 UJuda wasesithi kuOnani: Ngena kumkamfowenu, wenze kuye imfanelo yomfowabo wendoda, umvusele umfowenu inzalo ^g. 9 UOnani wayesazi-ke ukuthi inzalo kayiyikuba ngeyakhe. Kwasekusithi lapho engena kumkamfowabo, wayichithela emhlabathini, ukuze angamniki umfowabo inzalo. 10 Kwasekusiba kubi emehlweni eNkosi lokho akwenzayo; ngakho yambulala laye. 11 UJuda wasesithi kuTamari umalokazana wakhe: Hlala ungumfelokazi endlini kayihlo ^h, aze akhule uShela indodana yami; ngoba wathi: Hlezi laye afe njengabafowabo. UTamari wasehamba wahlala endlini kayise ⁱ.

UJuda loTamari

12 Emva kwensuku ezinengi yafa indodakazi kaShuwa, umkaJuda. UJuda eseziduduzile ^j, wenyukela kubagundi bezimvu zakhe eThiminathi ^k, yena lomngane wakhe uHira umAdulamu. 13 Kwasekusaziswa kuTamari ukuthi: Khangela, uyihlozala wenyukela eThiminathi ukugunda izimvu zakhe. 14 Wasekhulula izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe, wazimbomboza ngesimbombozo, wazigoqela, wahlala esangweni iEnayima, elisendleleni eya eThiminathi; ngoba wabona ukuthi uShela wayesekhulile, njalo wayengamnikwanga ukuba ngumkakhe. 15 Lapho uJuda esembonile, wacabanga ukuthi uliwule, ngoba embomboze ubuso bakhe. 16 Wasephambukela kuye ^l endleleni wathi: Woza-ke, ngingene kuwe; ngoba wayengazi ukuthi ngumalokazana wakhe. Wasesithi: Uzanginikani ukuze ungene kimi? 17 Wasesithi: Mina ngizathumela izinyane lembuzi elivela emhlanjini. Wasesithi: Uzanginika isibambiso uze ulithumele yini? 18 Wasesithi: Sibambiso bani engizakunika sona? Wasesithi: Indandatho elophawu lwakho, lentambo yakho, lodondolo lwakho olusesandleni sakho ^m. Wasemupha, wangena kuye; wasethatha isisu sakhe. 19 Wasesukuma wahamba, wakhulula isimbombozo sakhe, wafaka izembatho zobufelokazi bakhe ⁿ. 20 UJuda wasethumela izinyane lembuzi ngesandla somngane wakhe umAdulamu ukuze athathe isibambiso esandleni sowesifazana; kodwa kamtholanga. 21 Wasebuza amadoda endawo yakowesifazana esithi: Lingaphi iwule elaliseEnayima endleleni? Asesithi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha. 22 Wasebuyela kuJuda wathi: Kangilitholanga, futhi lamadoda endawo athi: Kakuzanga kube khona iwule lapha. 23 UJuda wasesithi: Kalizithathele, hlezi sideleleke ^{▼▼ sideleleke: Heb sibe lihlazo.}; khangela, ngithumele lelizinyane, kodwa wena kawumtholanga.

24 Kwasekusithi phose emva kwenyanga ezintathu kwaziswa kuJuda ukuthi: UTamari umalokazana wakhe ufebile, futhi khangela-ke, ulesisu sokufetshwa. UJuda wasesithi: Mkhupheni atshiswe ^p. 25 Esekhutshiwe, yena wathumela kuyisezala, esithi: Ngoniwe yindoda engumnini walezizinto. Wathi futhi: Ake uhlolisise ^q ukuthi ngezikabani lezizinto, indandatho elophawu lezintambo lodondolo ^r. 26 UJuda wasezivuma ^s wathi: Ulungile kulami ^t, ngakho njengoba ngingamnikanga uShela indodana yami. Njalo kabanga esamazi futhi.

27 Kwasekusithi esikhathini sokubeletha kwakhe, khangela-ke, amaphahla ayesesiswini sakhe ^u. 28 Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe, elinye lakhupha isandla; umbelethisi wasithatha, wabopha intambo ebomvu ^v esandleni salo, esithi: Lo uzaphuma kuqala. 29 Kodwa kwathi lifinyeza isandla salo, khangela-ke umfowabo waphuma; wasesithi: Ufohle njani? Ukufohla kakube phezu kwakho ^{▼▼ ukufohla: kumbe, uzifohlelele njani.}. Wasemutha ibizo lakhe uPerezi ^{▼▼ uPerezi: okuyikuthi, ukufohla.}. 30 Emva kwalokhu kwasekuphuma umfowabo owayelentambo ebomvu esandleni sakhe; wasemutha ibizo lakhe uZera ^y.
