38 Ka nako yonone, Juda a šiya bobhuti bage a ya a hloma letente lage thina le monna wa Leadulama ye ba reng ke Hira.
2 Gana hone, Juda a bona morwediya wa Lekanana le lengwana lo ba reng ke Šuwa. A mo tseya a yetsela naye,
3 ke mokane a yima. Ka nthago a belega morwayi, Juda a mo reya gore ke Ere.
4 Mosadi yene a yima fote, a belega morwayi a mo reya gore ke Onane.
5 A belega morwayi ye mongwana fote, a mo reya gore ke Šela. Juda ke mo a le Akhezibhi mo ngwanene a belegiwa.
6 Mo nako yi kene yi ya, Juda a tseyela letšibula lage Ere mosadi, lebitso lage ke mo go le Thamara.
7 Mara Ere letšibula la Juda ke mo a sa jabodisi Jehova; byalo Jehova a mmolaya.
8 Mo Juda a bona tsotsone, a botsa Onane gore: “Ka gore bhuti wago o kgwile, šadha le mosadi wage o yetsele naye gore o thogo belegela bhuti wago bana.”
9 Mara Onane ke mo a di tšiba gore bana bone go ka sa be bage. Byalo, mo a yetsela le mosadi wa bhuti wage, o tshollele pewu yage fase gore a sa belegele bhuti wage bana.
10 Tso a di makiyeng ke mo di sa jabodisi Jehova, byalo le yene a mmolaya.
11 Juda a re ga Thamara makoti wage: “Ariye we dula gagenu o kene o le mosadi wa go kgwela ke monna go segela morwayi waka Šela a gola,” ka gore ne a nagana gore: ‘Le yene a ka tla a kgwa go tshwana le bobhuti bage.’ Byalo Thamara a ya a ye dula gaye ga papage.
12 Gwa feta nakonyana, mosadi wa Juda morwediya wa Šuwa a kgwa. Mo Juda a fetsa go mo llela, a sepela le monghanage Hira wa Leadulama ba ya Timna ga bo ba go hluba dinku tsage.
13 Ba botsa Thamara gore: “Ratswale wago o ya Timna go ye hluba dinku tsage.”
14 Mo a kwa tsotsone, a yapola sethila* so ne a se yapere, a tseya llapi a tikwala sefahlego a ye dula gheyiting ya Enayimi, mutši wa gore wo pateng ya go ya Timna, ka gore ne a di bona gore Šela o gudiye mara a ba mo šadhisi naye.
15 Mo Juda a mmona, a fo napa a nagana gore o rekisa mmele ka gore ne a tikwadiye sefahlego sowa.
16 Juda a yarogela ku gage a re: “Ke kgopela go yetsela nago,” ka taba la gore ke mo a sa di tšibi gore ke makoti wage. Mara Thamara a re: “O nyoko nneya ying gore o thogo yetsela le nna?”
17 Mo a reyane, Juda a re: “Ke nyoko romela seputsanyana sa go tšwa ga morape waka.” Mara Thamara a re: “O ka sa nneye sa gore ke tšwe ke se tshwere go segela o se romela?”
18 A ya mahlong a re: “Ke go tshwarise ying?” Yene a re: “Nneye ringi* yago le thapo ya yona, le thoka yo o yi tshwereng.” A mo neya tsona ke mokane a yetsela naye, Thamara a yima.
19 Ka nthago a tloga a sepela, a tlosa llapi lela ke mokane a yapara sethila* sage fote.
20 Juda a roma monghanage wa Leadulama gore a yise seputsanyana sela a ko thogo kraya tso a di tshwarisiyeng mosadi yela, mara a sa mo kraye.
21 A butsisa banna ba hone mutšing a re: “O kaye mosadi yela wa go rekisa mmele tempeleng wa gore ke mo a duli Enayimi thoko ga pata?” Mara ba re: “A go na mosadi wa go rekisa mmele tempeleng mo ga poleke yowa.”
22 A fetsa a boyele ga Juda a re: “A ke ya mo kraya fote banna ba poleke yone ba yitseri, ‘A go na mosadi wa go rekisa mmele tempeleng mo ga poleke yowa.’”
23 Byalo Juda a re: “Mo lisetse a di tseye, re ko šinya re titšhelela maahlo ka go nyakana naye. Nna seputsanyana ke se romele, mara a wa mo kraya akere.”
24 Mara ka nthago ga kararo (4) ya dikgwedi, ba botsa Juda gore: “Makoti wago Thamara ke mo a timakiye motho wa go rekisa mmele, fote tsotsone di makiye gore a yime.” Mo ba reyane, Juda a re: “Mo ntsheneng a tšhubiwe.”
25 Mo ba kene ba mo ntsha, a romela molayetsa ga ratswale wage a re: “Ke yimisiye ke mong wa dilo tsowa.” A tokegela ka gore: “Ke kgopela o lebelele ringi yowa le thapo ya yona le thoka yowa gore ke tsa mang.”
26 Juda a di lebelela ke mokane a re: “Mosadi yene o lukiye go phala nna, ka taba la gore a ke ya mo neya morwayi waka Šela.” A sa sa tsoga a yetsele naye.
27 Mo go segela nako ya gore a belege, a belega mafahla.
28 Mo a kene a belega, ngwana ka wwoši a ntsha letsogo, ye ne a mmelegisa a yakgoswa a tlema letsogo lone ka gare ye khubedu, a re: “Yewa ke yene wa mathomo wa go tšwa.”
29 Mara mo a fetsa go le busetsa, gwa tšwa bhuti wage, mosadi yela wa go mmelegisa a re: “Ke ntaba o tlerodiye mmane wago ka mokgo!” Byalo ba mo reya gore ke Pereze.*
30 Ka nthago gwa tšwa bhuti wage yela wa gore ba mo tlemme ka gare ye khubedu mo letsogong, ba mo reya gore ke Zera.
