38Genesis 38

1維時、猶大離諸昆弟、就亞杜蘭人希拉、Select Genesis 38:1

2見迦南人書亞女、娶之、與之同室、Select Genesis 38:2

3婦姙生子、猶大名之曰珥、Select Genesis 38:3

4再姙生子、母名之曰俄南、Select Genesis 38:4

5復姙生子、名之曰示拉、時、猶大居於基悉、Select Genesis 38:5

6猶大爲長子珥娶室、名他瑪、Select Genesis 38:6

7珥行惡於耶和華前、耶和華殺之、Select Genesis 38:7

8猶大命俄南曰、汝其與嫂同室、以盡弟分、生子嗣兄、Select Genesis 38:8

9俄南知子不歸己、不欲爲兄存後、與嫂偕寢時、遺洩於地、Select Genesis 38:9

10所爲不悅於耶和華、耶和華亦殺之、Select Genesis 38:10

11猶大恐季子亦死、如二兄然、謂媳他瑪曰、姑居父家、守志勿嫁、待吾子示拉長、遂往居父家、○Select Genesis 38:11

12久之、猶大妻書亞女死、猶大旣得慰藉、與友亞杜蘭人希拉往亭拿、就剪羊毛者、Select Genesis 38:12

13或告他瑪曰、汝舅往亭拿剪羊毛、Select Genesis 38:13

14他瑪見示拉長、而未得嫁之、乃去嫠服、以帕蒙面蔽體、坐於伊拿印邑門、在往亭拿之途側、Select Genesis 38:14

15猶大見其蔽面、以爲妓、Select Genesis 38:15

16道旁就之曰、來、我與爾偕寢、蓋不知爲媳也、婦曰、與我偕寢、何以贈我、Select Genesis 38:16

17曰、必遺羣中山羊之羔、曰、羔未至、與質否、Select Genesis 38:17

18曰、與爾何質、曰、爾印與紳、及手中杖、乃畀之、遂與偕寢、婦卽懷姙、Select Genesis 38:18

19起而去、脫帕、仍衣嫠服、Select Genesis 38:19

20猶大託友亞杜蘭人遺之羔、由婦取質、而不獲見、Select Genesis 38:20

21詢居民曰、伊拿印道旁、有妓安在、曰、此地無妓、Select Genesis 38:21

22返見猶大曰、求之不得、居民亦言彼地無妓、Select Genesis 38:22

23猶大曰、吾旣託爾遺羔、不得其人、任婦得質、免我貽羞、○Select Genesis 38:23

24約越三月、或告猶大曰、爾媳他瑪有淫行、今已懷姙、猶大曰、曳出焚之、Select Genesis 38:24

25旣出、遣人謂舅曰、我之懷姙、由於此物之主、試觀此印、及紳與杖、爲誰所有、Select Genesis 38:25

26猶大承之、曰、我不嫁之與子示拉、婦猶賢於我也、嗣後猶大不復近之、Select Genesis 38:26

27婦臨產、知其孿生、Select Genesis 38:27

28產際、其一出手、收生者以絳絲繫之、曰、此首出也、Select Genesis 38:28

29手入、其他出矣、收生者曰、爾何自坼、故命名法勒斯、Select Genesis 38:29

30其手繫絳絲者後出、命名謝拉、Select Genesis 38:30
