Genesis 38:1-23 in Kannada

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.

8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.

12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

14 And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?

17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?

18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.

21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.

22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.

23 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

1 ಆ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಆದದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ, ಯೆಹೂದನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರ ಬಳಿ ಯಿಂದ ಇಳಿದುಹೋಗಿ ಅದುಲ್ಲಾಮ್ಯನವನಾದ ಹೀರನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋದನು.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2 ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಯೆಹೂದನು ಕಾನಾನ್ಯನಾದ ಶೂಗನ ಮಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಅವಳನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡು ಅವಳನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿದನು.
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

3 ಅವಳು ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿ ಯಾಗಿ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು. ಯೆಹೂದನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಏರ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟನು.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

4 ಆಕೆಯು ತಿರಿಗಿ ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿ ಯಾಗಿ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಓನಾನ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟಳು.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

5 ಆಕೆಯು ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಸಾರಿ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಶೇಲಹ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟಳು. ಆಕೆಯು ಅವನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಾಗ ಯೆಹೂದನು ಕಜೀಬೂರಿನ ಲ್ಲಿದ್ದನು.
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

6 ಇದಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಯೆಹೂದನು ತನ್ನ ಚೊಚ್ಚಲ ಮಗನಾದ ಏರನಿಗೆ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡನು. ಆಕೆಯ ಹೆಸರು ತಾಮಾರ್‌.
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

7 ಆದರೆ ಯೆಹೂದನ ಚೊಚ್ಚಲ ಮಗನಾದ ಏರನು ಕರ್ತನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ದುಷ್ಟನಾಗಿದ್ದದರಿಂದ ಕರ್ತನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಸಾಯಿಸಿದನು.
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.

8 ಆಗ ಯೆಹೂದನು ಓನಾನನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಮದುವೆಯಾಗಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಅಣ್ಣನಿಗೆ ಸಂತತಿಯನ್ನು ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡು ಅಂದನು.
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9 ಆದರೆ ಓನಾನನು ಆ ಸಂತತಿಯು ತನ್ನದಾಗತಕ್ಕದ್ದಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡು ತನ್ನ ಅಣ್ಣನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ತನ್ನ ಅಣ್ಣನಿಗೆ ಸಂತತಿಯನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡದ ಹಾಗೆ ತನ್ನ ವೀರ್ಯ ವನ್ನು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಚೆಲ್ಲಿದನು.
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

10 ಅವನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಕರ್ತನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿಕೆಯಾಗಿರಲಿ ಲ್ಲವಾದದ್ದರಿಂದ ಆತನು ಇವನನ್ನೂ ಸಾಯಿಸಿದನು.
And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

11 ಆಗ ಯೆಹೂದನು ತನ್ನ ಸೊಸೆಯಾದ ತಾಮಾರ ಳಿಗೆ--ನನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಶೇಲಹನು ದೊಡ್ಡವನಾಗುವ ವರೆಗೆ ವಿಧವೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದು ನಿನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇರು ಅಂದನು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಇವನು ಸಹ ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರ ಹಾಗೆ ಸತ್ತಾನೆಂದು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡನು. ತಾಮಾರಳು ಹೋಗಿ ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಮಾಡಿದಳು.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.

12 ಬಹಳ ದಿನಗಳಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ಯೆಹೂದನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಶೂಗನ ಮಗಳು ಸತ್ತಳು. ಯೆಹೂ ದನು ಆದರಣೆ ಹೊಂದಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ತಾನೂ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತನಾಗಿರುವ ಅದುಲ್ಲಾಮ್ಯನಾದ ಹೀರನೂ ತನ್ನ ಕುರಿಗಳ ಉಣ್ಣೆಯನ್ನು ಕತ್ತರಿಸುವವರ ಬಳಿಗೆ ತಿಮ್ನಾತಿಗೆ ಹೋದನು.
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 ಆಗ ತಾಮಾರಳಿಗೆ--ಇಗೋ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾವನು ತನ್ನ ಕುರಿಗಳ ಉಣ್ಣೆಯನ್ನು ಕತ್ತರಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೆ ತಿಮ್ನಾತಿಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದಾಗ
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

14 ಆಕೆಯು ವಿಧವೆಯ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದಿಟ್ಟು ಮುಸುಕು ಹಾಕಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ತಿಮ್ನಾತಿನ ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಬಹಿರಂಗ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತು ಕೊಂಡಳು; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಶೇಲಹನು ದೊಡ್ಡವನಾ ಗಿದ್ದರೂ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾಗಿ ಕೊಡಲಿಲ್ಲ ವೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದಳು.
And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

15 ಯೆಹೂದನು ಅವಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಅವಳು ಮುಖಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವಳು ಸೂಳೆಯೆಂದು ನೆನಸಿಕೊಂಡನು.
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

16 ಮಾರ್ಗ ದಿಂದ ಆಕೆಯ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿಕೊಂಡು ಅವನು--ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿನ್ನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬರಗೊಡಿಸು ಅಂದನು. (ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವಳು ತನ್ನ ಸೊಸೆಯೆಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿದಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ). ಅವಳು--ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದರೆ ನನಗೆ ಏನು ಕೊಡುವಿ ಅಂದಳು.
And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?

17 ಅವನು--ಮಂದೆಯಿಂದ ನಿನಗೆ ಮೇಕೆಯ ಮರಿಯನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿ ಸುತ್ತೇನೆ ಅಂದನು. ಅವಳು--ನೀನು ಅದನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸುವವರೆಗೆ ಈಡುಕೊಡುವಿಯೋ ಅಂದಳು.
And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?

18 ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅವನು--ನಿನಗೆ ಕೊಡತಕ್ಕ ಈಡು ಏನು ಅಂದಾಗ ಅವಳು--ನಿನ್ನ ಮುದ್ರೆಯೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡಗ ಗಳೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಕೋಲು ಅಂದಳು. ಆಗ ಅವನು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಆಕೆಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ಆಕೆಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಹೋದನು. ಹೀಗೆ ಅವಳು ಅವನಿಂದ ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾದಳು.
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

19 ತರುವಾಯ ಅವಳು ಎದ್ದು ಹೋಗಿ ಮುಸುಕನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದಿಟ್ಟು ತನ್ನ ವಿಧವೆಯ ವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡಳು.
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 ಯೆಹೂದನು ಆ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ಈಡು ತಕ್ಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕೆ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತನಾದ ಅದುಲ್ಲಾಮ್ಯನ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ಮೇಕೆಯ ಮರಿಯನ್ನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದಾಗ ಆಕೆಯು ಸಿಗಲಿಲ್ಲ.
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.

21 ಅದುಲ್ಲಾಮ್ಯನು ಆಕೆಯ ಊರಿನವರನ್ನು--ಬಹಿರಂಗ ಮಾರ್ಗದ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಸೂಳೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ಅವರು--ಈ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವ ಸೂಳೆಯೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದರು.
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.

22 ಆಗ ಅವನು ಯೆಹೂದನ ಬಳಿಗೆ ತಿರಿಗಿ ಬಂದು--ಆಕೆಯು ನನಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಲಿಲ್ಲ, ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆ ಸ್ಥಳದ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು--ಈ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂಳೆಯು ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.

23 ಆಗ ಯೆಹೂದನು--ನಾವು ನಾಚಿಕೆಗೆ ಒಳಗಾಗದ ಹಾಗೆ ಅವಳು ಅದನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಲಿ; ಇಗೋ, ಈ ಮೇಕೆಯ ಮರಿಯನ್ನು ನಾನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ ದೆನು, ಆದರೆ ಆಕೆಯು ನಿನಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು.
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
