Genesis 38:1-23 in Nepali

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 त्यस समय यहूदा आफ्नो दाज्यू-भाइहरूलाई छोडी हीरा नाउँको मानिससित बस्न गए। हीरा अद्‌दुलाम शहरको थियो।
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 यहूदाले त्यहीं कनानी केटीलाई भेट्यो अनि उसलाई विवाह गर्यो। त्यस केटीको बाबुको नाउँ शूआ थियो।
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

3 त्यस कनानी केटीले एउटा छोरो जन्माई। उनले उसको नाउँ एर राखी।
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

4 पछि फेरि अर्को छोरो पाई र उसको नाउँ ओनन राखी।
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

5 पछि फेरि उनले अर्को छोरो जन्माई अनि उसको नाउँ उनले शेलह राखीन्। उसको तेस्रो छोरो जन्मँदा यहूदा कजीबामा थियो।
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

6 यहूदाले आफ्नो छोरो एरको विवाह गराउँनको निम्ति एउटी केटीलाई रोज्यो। त्यस केटीको नाउँ तामार थियो।
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

7 तर एरले अत्यन्तै नराम्रो काम गर्यो। परमप्रभु ऊसंग प्रसन्न हुनुभएन। यसकारण परमप्रभुले उसलाई मार्नु भयो।
And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.

8 त्यसपछि यहूदाले एरको भाइ ओनानलाई भने, “जा अनि मरेको दाइको पत्नीसित सुत। तँ उसको लोग्ने जस्तै बनिनु। यदि नानीहरू जन्मे ती तेरो दाइ एरका नानीहरू हुन्छन्।”
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9 ओनानलाई थाहा थियो तामार र ऊबाट जो नानीहरू हुन्छन् ती सबै उसका हुँदैनन्। ओनानले तामारसित सहवास गर्यो। तर उनले आफ्नो गर्भधारण हुन दिएन।
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 यस विषयमा परमप्रभु क्रोधित हुनु भयो। यसकारण परमप्रभुले ओनानलाई पनि मार्नु भयो।
And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

11 त्यसपछि आफ्नी बुहारी तामारलाई यहूदाले भन्यो, “तँ आफ्नो बाबुको घर फर्केर जा, त्यही बस अनि तबसम्म विवाह नगर्नु जबसम्म मेरो छोरा शेलह ठूलो हुँदैन।” यहूदालाई डर थियो कतै शेलह पनि उसको दाज्यूहरू झैं मारिन्छ। तामार आफ्नो बाबुको घरमा फर्केर गइन्।
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 पछि शूआकी छोरी यहूदाकी पत्नी मरी। यहूदाको शोक समय बितेपछि, त्यो अद्‌दुलामबाट आफ्नो साथी हीरासित तिम्ना गए। भेडाबाट काटिएको ऊन लिन यहुदा तिम्ना गए।
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 उसको ससुरा यहूदा भेडाको ऊन लिन तिम्ना गएको कुरा तामारले चाल पाई।
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.

14 तामारले संधै विधवाले लगाउने लुगा लाउने गर्द थिइ। यसर्थ उनले भिन्दै केही लुगा लगाई अनि आफ्नो अनुहार पर्दाले छोपी। त्यसपछि तिम्ना शहरको नजिक एनैम जाने बाटोको मुन्तिर बसी। तामारले थाहा पाई यहूदाको छोरो शेलह अब ठूलो भइसकेको छ। तर यहूदाले ऊसित विवाह गर्ने कुनै योजना बनाउने छैन।
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 यहूदा त्यही बाटो हिंडेर गए। उनले तामारलाई देख्यो तर त्यो वेश्या हो भनेर सोच्यो। उनले आफ्नो अनुहार वेश्याहरूले जस्तै पर्दाले ढाकेकी थिई।
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

16 यसर्थ यहूदा तिनी भएको ठाउँमा गए अनि भन्यो, “तँसित शारीरिक सम्बन्ध गर्नदे।” यहूदाले थाहा पाएन ऊ आफ्नी बुहारी तामार थिई।उनले भनी, “तिमीले मलाई के दिन्छौ?”
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 यहूदाले उत्तर दियो, “म मेरो भेडाको हुलबाट एउटा भेडा पठाइ दिनेछु।”उनले उत्तर दिई, “यसमा म राजी छु। तर तिमीले मलाई भेडा नपठाउञ्जेलसम्म राख्नलाई केही दिनु पर्छ।”
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 यहूदाले सोध्यो, “मैले भेडा नपठाउञ्जेलसम्म के बन्धक राख्न चाहन्छौ?”तामारले उत्तर दिई, “तिमीले आफ्नो चिट्ठी पठाउँदा प्रयोग गर्ने मोहर र डोरी देऊ। अनि तिमीले टेक्ने लट्ठी पनी देऊ।” यहूदाले यी सब चीजहरू उसलाई दिएर तामारसित सहवास गरे। तामार गर्भवती भइन्।
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 तामार घर गई अनि उनले आफ्नो मुखबाट पर्दा हटाएर फेरि त्यही आफूलाई विधवा देखाउने लुगा पहिरीन्।
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

20 त्यसपछि यहूदाले वेश्यासित प्रतिज्ञा गरे अनुसार हीरालाई एउटा सानो बाख्रा दिएर एनैम पठाए। यहूदाले उसलाई आफ्नो मोहर र लट्ठी फर्काएर ल्याउनुँ भन्यो। तर हीराले तामारलाई भेट्न सकेन।
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 हीराले एनैम शहरका केही मानिसहरूलाई सोध्यो, “बाटोको छेऊमा बस्ने वेश्या कहाँ छे?” मानिसहरूले जवाफ दिए, “यहाँ कोही वेश्या थिइन।”
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 यसर्थ यहूदाको साथी तिनीकहाँ गए र भने, “मैले आइमाईलाई भेट्न सकिन। जब मैले त्यस ठाउँका मानिसहरूलाई सोधें, तिनीहरूले मलाई बताए त्यस ठाउँमा कोही वेश्या थिइन।”
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 यसकारण यहूदाले भने, “त्यसलाई ती चीजहरू राख्न देऊ। म चाँहदिन मानिसहरू ममाथि हाँसुन्। मैले त्यसलाई बाख्रा दिन खोजें तर उसलाई भेटिएन, त्यही नै पर्याप्त छ।”
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
