Giovanni Diodati 1649 (Italian) GDB
New International Version NIV
1 OR avvenne in quel tempo, che Giuda discese d’appresso a’ suoi fratelli, e si ridusse ad albergare in casa di un uomo Adullamita, il cui nome era Hira.
1
At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah.
2 E Giuda vide quivi una figliuola di un uomo Cananeo, il nome del quale era Sua; ed egli la prese per moglie, ed entrò da lei.
2
There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and made love to her;
3 Ed ella concepette e partorì un figliuolo, al quale Giuda pose nome Er.
3
she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.
4 Poi ella concepette ancora, e partorì un figliuolo, e gli pose nome Onan.
4
She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.
5 Ed ella partorì ancora un figliuolo, e gli pose nome Sela; or Giuda era in Chezib, quando ella lo partorì.
5
She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.
6 E Giuda prese una moglie ad Er, suo primogenito, il cui nome era Tamar.
6
Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Ma Er, primogenito di Giuda, dispiacque al Signore, e il Signore lo fece morire.
7
But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death.
8 E Giuda disse ad Onon: Entra dalla moglie del tuo fratello, e sposala per ragion di consanguinità, e suscita progenie al tuo fratello.
8
Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”
9 Ma Onan, sapendo che quella progenie non sarebbe sua, quando entrava dalla moglie del suo fratello, si corrompeva in terra, per non dar progenie al suo fratello.
9
But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
10 E ciò ch’egli faceva dispiacque al Signore; ed egli fece morire ancora lui.
10
What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death also.
11 E Giuda disse a Tamar, sua nuora: Stattene vedova in casa di tuo padre, finchè Sela, mio figliuolo, sia divenuto grande; perciocchè egli diceva: E’ si convien provvedere che costui ancora non muoia, come i suoi fratelli. Tamar adunque se ne andò, e dimorò in casa di suo padre.
11
Judah then said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s household until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s household.
12 E, dopo molti giorni, morì la figliuola di Sua, moglie di Giuda; e, dopo che Giuda si fu consolato, salì in Timna, con Hira Adullamita, suo famigliare amico, a’ tonditori delle sue pecore.
12
After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah, to the men who were shearing his sheep, and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went with him.
13 Ed e’ fu rapportato a Tamar, e detto: Ecco, il tuo suocero sale in Timna, per tonder le sue pecore.
13
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
14 Allora ella si levò d’addosso gli abiti suoi vedovili, e si coperse di un velo, e se ne turò il viso, e si pose a sedere alla porta di Enaim, ch’è in sulla strada, traendo verso Timna; perciocchè vedeva che Sela era divenuto grande, e pure ella non gli era data per moglie.
14
she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.
15 E Giuda la vide, e stimò lei essere una meretrice; conciossiachè ella avesse coperto il viso.
15
When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
16 E, stornatosi verso lei in su la via, le disse: Deh! permetti che io entri da te perciocchè egli non sapeva ch’ella fosse sua nuora. Ed ella gli disse: Che mi darai, perchè tu entri da me?
16
Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked.
17 Ed egli le disse: Io ti manderò un capretto della greggia. Ed ella disse: Mi darai tu un pegno, finchè tu me l’abbi mandato?
17
“I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,” he said. “Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?” she asked.
18 Ed egli disse: Qual pegno ti darò io? Ed ella disse: Il tuo suggello, e la tua benda, e il tuo bastone che tu hai in mano. Ed egli le diede quelle cose, ed entrò da lei, ed ella concepette di lui.
18
He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
19 Poi si levò, e se ne andò, e si levò d’addosso il suo velo, e si rivestì i suoi abiti vedovili.
19
After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes again.
20 E Giuda mandò il capretto per le mani di quell’Adullamita, suo famigliare amico, per ritrarre il pegno da quella donna; ma egli non la trovò.
20
Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her.
21 E ne domandò gli uomini del luogo dove era stata, dicendo: Dove è quella meretrice ch’era alla porta di Enaim in sulla strada? Ed essi risposero: Qui non è stata alcuna meretrice.
21
He asked the men who lived there, “Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?” “There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here,” they said.
22 Ed egli se ne ritornò a Giuda, e gli disse: Io non ho trovata colei; ed anche gli uomini di quel luogo mi hanno detto: Qui non è stata alcuna meretrice.
22
So he went back to Judah and said, “I didn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, ‘There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here.’ ”
23 E Giuda disse: Tengasi pure il pegno, che talora noi non siamo in isprezzo: ecco, io le ho mandato questo capretto; ma tu non l’hai trovata.
23
Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.”
24 Or intorno a tre mesi appresso, fu rapportato, e detto a Guida: Tamar, tua nuora, ha fornicato, ed anche ecco, è gravida di fornicazione. E Giuda disse: Menatela fuori, e sia arsa.
24
About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.” Judah said, “Bring her out and have her burned to death!”
25 Come era menata fuori, mandò a dire al suo suocero: Io son gravida di colui al quale appartengono queste cose. Gli mandò ancora a dire: Riconosci ora di cui è questo suggello, e queste bende, e questo bastone.
25
As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. “I am pregnant by the man who owns these,” she said. And she added, “See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are.”
26 E Giuda riconobbe quelle cose, e disse: Ell’è più giusta di me; conciossiachè ella abbia fatto questo, perciocchè io non l’ho data per moglie a Sela, mio figliuolo. Ed egli non la conobbe più da indi innanzi.
26
Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn’t give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not sleep with her again.
27 Or avvenne che al tempo ch’ella dovea partorire, ecco, avea due gemelli in corpo.
27
When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.
28 E, mentre partoriva, l’uno porse la mano; e la levatrice la prese, e vi legò dello scarlatto sopra, dicendo: Costui è uscito il primo.
28
As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”
29 Ma avvenne ch’egli ritrasse la mano; ed ecco, il suo fratello uscì fuori; e la levatrice disse: Qual rottura hai tu fatta? la rottura sia sopra te; e gli fu posto nome Fares.
29
But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out, and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez.
30 Poi uscì il suo fratello che avea lo scarlatto sopra la mano; e gli fu posto nome Zara.
30
Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread on his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah.
