1 В то время Иуда отошел от братьев своих и поселился близ одного Одолламитянина, которому имя: Хира.
1 At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 И увидел там Иуда дочь одного Хананеянина, которому имя: Шуа; и взял ее и вошел к ней.
2 There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
3 Она зачала и родила сына; и он нарек ему имя: Ир.
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
4 И зачала опять, и родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: Онан.
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
5 И еще родила сына [третьего] и нарекла ему имя: Шела. Иуда был в Хезиве, когда она родила его.
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
6 И взял Иуда жену Иру, первенцу своему; имя ей Фамарь.
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Ир, первенец Иудин, был неугоден пред очами Господа, и умертвил его Господь.
7 Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in Yahweh’s sight. So Yahweh killed him.
8 И сказал Иуда Онану: войди к жене брата твоего, женись на ней, как деверь, и восстанови семя брату твоему.
8 Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
9 Онан знал, что семя будет не ему, и потому, когда входил к жене брата своего, изливал [семя] на землю, чтобы не дать семени брату своему.
9 Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.
10 Зло было пред очами Господа то, что он делал; и Он умертвил и его.
10 The thing which he did was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and he killed him also.
11 И сказал Иуда Фамари, невестке своей [по смерти двух сыновей своих]: живи вдовою в доме отца твоего, пока подрастет Шела, сын мой. Ибо он сказал [в уме своем]: не умер бы и он подобно братьям его. Фамарь пошла и стала жить в доме отца своего.
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
12 Прошло много времени, и умерла дочь Шуи, жена Иудина. Иуда, утешившись, пошел в Фамну к стригущим скот его, сам и Хира, друг его, Одолламитянин.
12 After many days, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.
13 И уведомили Фамарь, говоря: вот, свекор твой идет в Фамну стричь скот свой.
13 Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
14 И сняла она с себя одежду вдовства своего, покрыла себя покрывалом и, закрывшись, села у ворот Енаима, что на дороге в Фамну. Ибо видела, что Шела вырос, и она не дана ему в жену.
14 She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.
15 И увидел ее Иуда и почел ее за блудницу, потому что она закрыла лице свое. [И не узнал ее.]
15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
16 Он поворотил к ней и сказал: войду я к тебе. Ибо не знал, что это невестка его. Она сказала: что ты дашь мне, если войдешь ко мне?
16 He turned to her by the way, and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
17 Он сказал: я пришлю тебе козленка из стада [моего]. Она сказала: дашь ли ты мне залог, пока пришлешь?
17 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?”
18 Он сказал: какой дать тебе залог? Она сказала: печать твою, и перевязь твою, и трость твою, которая в руке твоей. И дал он ей и вошел к ней; и она зачала от него.
18 He said, “What pledge will I give you?” She said, “Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
19 И, встав, пошла, сняла с себя покрывало свое и оделась в одежду вдовства своего.
19 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20 Иуда же послал козленка чрез друга своего Одолламитянина, чтобы взять залог из руки женщины, но он не нашел ее.
20 Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he didn’t find her.
21 И спросил жителей того места, говоря: где блудница, которая была в Енаиме при дороге? Но они сказали: здесь не было блудницы.
21 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?” They said, “There has been no prostitute here.”
22 И возвратился он к Иуде и сказал: я не нашел ее; да и жители места того сказали: здесь не было блудницы.
22 He returned to Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”
23 Иуда сказал: пусть она возьмет себе, чтобы только не стали над нами смеяться; вот, я посылал этого козленка, но ты не нашел ее.
23 Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”
24 Прошло около трех месяцев, и сказали Иуде, говоря: Фамарь, невестка твоя, впала в блуд, и вот, она беременна от блуда. Иуда сказал: выведите ее, и пусть она будет сожжена.
24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
25 Но когда повели ее, она послала сказать свекру своему: я беременна от того, чьи эти вещи. И сказала: узнавай, чья эта печать и перевязь и трость.
25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”
26 Иуда узнал и сказал: она правее меня, потому что я не дал ее Шеле, сыну моему. И не познавал ее более.
26 Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.
27 Во время родов ее оказалось, что близнецы в утробе ее.
27 In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.
28 И во время родов ее показалась рука [одного]; и взяла повивальная бабка и навязала ему на руку красную нить, сказав: этот вышел первый.
28 When she travailed, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This came out first.”
29 Но он возвратил руку свою; и вот, вышел брат его. И она сказала: как ты расторг себе преграду? И наречено ему имя: Фарес.
29 As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.
30 Потом вышел брат его с красной нитью на руке. И наречено ему имя: Зара.
30 Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 38:28 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapters XXV–XXVI)

    This fact is indeed set forth by many other [occurrences], but typically by [the history of] Thamar, Judah's daughter-in-law. For when she had conceived twins, one of them put forth his hand first; and as the midwife supposed that he was the first-born, she bound a scarlet token on his hand.
