Genesis 38

¹Mme ga dirala ya re ka lobaka loo, Juta a huduga a tswa mo go bomorwa rraagwe, a menogela kwa monneng mongwe wa Moadulame, leina la gagwe go twe Hira.

²Juta a bona morwadia Mokanana mongwe gone, leina la gagwe go twe Shua; a mo tsaya, a tsena kwa go ene.

³Mme a nna moimana, a bona ngwana wa mosimane; a mo raya leina a re, Ere.

⁴A ba a nna moimana gape, a bona ngwana wa mosimane; a mo raya leina a re, Onane.

⁵A fela a bona ngwana wa mosimane gape, a mo raya leina a re, Shela. Juta a bo a le kwa Kesibe fa mosadi a bona ngwana yo.

⁶Juta a tseisa Ere ngwana wa gagwe wa ntlha mosadi, leina la gagwe go twe, Tamare.

⁷Ere, ngwana wa ntlha wa ga Juta a bo a le bosula mo matlhong a ga Jehofa; mme Jehofa a mmolaya.

⁸Juta a raya Onane a re: “Tsena kwa go mogatsa mogoloo, o mo tlhatswe ka fa tshwanelong ya monnaa motho, o tsosetse mogoloo losika.”

⁹Onane a bo a itse fa losika e tlaa bo e se lwa gagwe; mme ga dirala e ne e tle e re a tsena mo go mogatsa mogolowe a thololele fa fatshe, gore e se ka ya re gongwe a tsosetsa mogolowe losika.

¹⁰Selo se o se dirileng se ne se le bosula mo matlhong a ga Jehofa; mme le ene a mmolaya.

¹¹Foo, Juta a raya Tamare ngwetsi ya gagwe a re: “Nna fela mo ntlong ya ga rraago o le motlholagadi, e bo e tle Shela morwaake a gole.” A ithaya a re: “E se ka ya re gongwe le ene a swa jaaka bomogolowe.” Tamare a ya a nna mo ntlong ya ga rraagwe.

¹²Ya tla ya re motlha mongwe morwadia Shua, mosadi wa ga Juta, a swa; mme Juta a gomotsega, a tlhatlogela kwa babeoding ba dinku tsa gagwe kwa Timena, le tsala ya gagwe Hira wa Moadulame.

¹³Tamare a bolelelwa ga twe: “Bona, matsalaago o tlhatlogela kwa Timena go beola dinku tsa gagwe.”

¹⁴Mme a apola diaparo tsa gagwe tsa botlholagadi, a ipipa ka losire lwa gagwe, a ipopaganya, a dula fa kgorong ya Enaime o o fa tseleng e e yang Timena; gonne a bona fa Shela a setse a godile, a sa mo neelwe go nna mosadi wa gagwe.

¹⁵E rile Juta a mmona a ithaya a re, ke seaka; gonne o ne a ipipile sefatlhogo.

¹⁶A fapogela kwa go ene fa tseleng a re: “Ke a go rapela, a re ye koo, o mme ke ye mo go wena;” gonne a sa itse fa e le ngwetsi wa gagwe. Mme a re: “O tlaa nnaya eng gore o tle o tle mo go nna.”

¹⁷A re: “Ke tlaa go romela potsane ya dipodi e tswa kwa letsomaneng.” Mosadi a re: “A o tlaa mpeela sengwe o tle o tsamaye o bo o e tlise?”

¹⁸Mme a re: “Ke tlaa go beela eng?” A re: “Sekano sa gago, le mogala wa sone, le thobane ya gago e e mo seatleng sa gago.” Mme a di mo neela, a ya mo go ene, a mo imisa.

¹⁹Tamare a nanoga a tsamaya, a apola losire lwa gagwe, a apara diaparo tsa botlholagadi jwa gagwe.

²⁰Juta a romela potsane ka seatla sa tsala ya gagwe ya Moadulame, gore a amogele peelo mo seatleng sa mosadi; mme a se ka a mo fitlhela.

²¹Foo a botsa banna ba ga gabo mosadi, a re: “Se kae seaka se se neng se le kwa Enaime ka fa tseleng?” Ba re: “Ga go ise go ke go nne seaka mono.”

²²A boela kwa go Juta a re: “Ga ke a ka ka mo fitlhela; le bone banna ba felo foo ba re: ‘Ga go ise go ke go nne seaka mono.’ ”

²³Juta a re: “A a se itseele, e se re gongwe ra tlhabisiwa ditlhong; bona, ke rometse potsane e, mme ga o a ka wa mo fitlhela.”

²⁴Ga dirala ya re e ka ne e le dikgwedi di le tharo morago, ga bolelelwa Juta ga twe: “Tamare ngwetsi wa gago, o akafetse; le gone o moimana ka boaka.” Juta a re: “Mo ntshetseng kwa ntle, a fisiwe.”

²⁵E rile a ntshediwa kwa ntle a roma kwa go matsalaagwe a re: “Ke ka monna yo dilo tse e leng tsa gagwe ke leng moimana ka ene; a ba a re ke a go rapela, sekaseka dilo tse, o bone gore ke tsa ga mang, sekano, le megala, le thobane?”

²⁶Juta a di dumela a re: “Ee, tsa me;” a ba a re: “Ene o siame bogolo go nna: ka gobo ke se ka ka mo neela Shela morwaake.” Mme a se ka a ba a tlhola a mo itse.

²⁷Ya re mo motlheng wa go belega ga gagwe, bonang, ga bo go le bana ba mafatlha mo sebopelong sa gagwe.

²⁸Ga dirala ya re a iteka, mongwe a ntsha letsogo; mme mmelegisi a tsaya tlhale e khibidu a e bofelela mo letsogong la gagwe, a re: “Yo o dule pele.”

²⁹Mme ya re a busa seatla, bonang, monnawe a tswa; mme mmelegisi a re: “O no o intsheletsang phatlha?” Ke gone ka moo leina la gagwe go tweng Perese.

³⁰Morago ga tswa mogolowe yo o nang le tlhale e khibidu mo letsogong; mme a rewa leina ga twe, Sera.
