BCC ¹ En ce temps-là Juda, s'éloignant de ses frères, descendit et arriva jusqu'auprès d'un homme d'Odollam, nommé Hira.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹ Eodem tempore, descendens Judas a fratribus suis, divertit ad virum Odollamitem, nomine Hiram.

BCC ² Là, Juda vit la fille d'un Chananéen, nommé Sué, et il la prit pour femme et alla vers elle.

KJV ² And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.

VULC ² Viditque ibi filiam hominis Chananæi, vocabulo Sue : et accepta uxore, ingressus est ad eam.

BCC ³ Elle conçut et enfanta un fils, et il le nomma Her.

KJV ³ And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

VULC ³ Quæ concepit, et peperit filium, et vocavit nomen ejus Her.

BCC ⁴ Elle conçut encore et enfanta un fils, et elle le nomma Onan.

KJV ⁴ And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

VULC ⁴ Rursumque concepto fœtu, natum filium vocavit Onan.

BCC ⁵ Elle conçut de nouveau et enfanta un fils, et elle le nomma Séla ; Juda était à Achzib quand elle le mit au monde.

KJV ⁵ And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

VULC ⁵ Tertium quoque peperit : quem appellavit Sela ; quo nato, parere ultra cessavit.

BCC ⁶ Juda prit pour Her, son premier-né, une femme nommée Thamar.

KJV ⁶ And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

VULC ⁶ Dedit autem Judas uxorem primogenito suo Her, nomine Thamar.

BCC ⁷ Her, premier-né de Juda, fut méchant aux yeux de Yahweh et Yahweh le fit mourir.

KJV ⁷ And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.

VULC ⁷ Fuit quoque Her primogenitus Judæ nequam in conspectu Domini : et ab eo occisus est.

BCC ⁸ Alors Juda dit à Onan : « Va vers la femme de ton frère, remplis ton devoir de beau-frère et suscite une postérité à ton frère. »

KJV ⁸ And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

VULC ⁸ Dixit ergo Judas ad Onan filium suum : Ingredere ad uxorem fratris tui, et sociare illi, ut suscites semen fratri tuo.

BCC ⁹ Mais Onan savait que cette postérité ne serait pas à lui et, lorsqu'il allait vers la femme de son frère, il se souillait à terre afin de ne pas donner de postérité à son frère.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁹ Ille sciens non sibi nasci filios, introiens ad uxorem fratris sui, semen fundebat in terram, ne liberi fratris nomine nascerentur.

BCC ¹⁰ Son action déplut au Seigneur, qui le fit aussi mourir.

KJV ¹⁰ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

VULC ¹⁰ Et idcirco percussit eum Dominus, quod rem detestabilem faceret.

BCC ¹¹ Et Juda dit à Thamar, sa belle-fille « Demeure comme veuve dans la maison de ton père jusqu'à ce que Séla, mon fils, soit devenu grand. » Car il se disait : « Il ne faut pas que lui aussi meure comme ses frères. » Thamar s'en alla et demeura dans la maison de son père.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹¹ Quam ob rem dixit Judas Thamar nurui suæ : Esto vidua in domo patris tui, donec crescat Sela filius meus : timebat enim ne et ipse moreretur, sicut fratres ejus. Quæ abiit, et habitavit in domo patris sui.
