¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 人子啊，要为推罗作起哀歌，

³ 说：你居住海口，是众民的商埠；你的交易通到许多的海岛。主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，你曾说：我是全然美丽的。

⁴ 你的境界在海中，造你的使你全然美丽。

⁵ 他们用示尼珥的松树做你的一切板，用利巴嫩的香柏树做桅杆，

⁶ 用巴珊的橡树做你的桨，用象牙镶嵌基提海岛的黄杨木为坐板（或译：舱板）。

⁷ 你的篷帆是用埃及绣花细麻布做的，可以做你的大旗；你的凉棚是用以利沙岛的蓝色、紫色布做的。

⁸ 西顿和亚发的居民作你荡桨的。推罗啊，你中间的智慧人作掌舵的。

⁹ 迦巴勒的老者和聪明人都在你中间作补缝的；一切泛海的船只和水手都在你中间经营交易的事。

¹⁰ 波斯人、路德人、弗人在你军营中作战士；他们在你中间悬挂盾牌和头盔，彰显你的尊荣。

¹¹ 亚发人和你的军队都在你四围的墙上，你的望楼也有勇士；他们悬挂盾牌，成全你的美丽。

¹² 他施人因你多有各类的财物，就作你的客商，拿银、铁、锡、铅兑换你的货物。

¹³ 雅完人、土巴人、米设人都与你交易；他们用人口和铜器兑换你的货物。

¹⁴ 陀迦玛族用马和战马并骡子兑换你的货物。

¹⁵ 底但人与你交易，许多海岛作你的码头；他们拿象牙、乌木与你兑换（或译：进贡）。

¹⁶ 亚兰人因你的工作很多，就作你的客商；他们用绿宝石、紫色布绣货、细麻布、珊瑚、红宝石兑换你的货物。

¹⁷ 犹大和以色列地的人都与你交易；他们用米匿的麦子、饼、蜜、油、乳香兑换你的货物。

¹⁸ 大马色人因你的工作很多，又因你多有各类的财物，就拿黑本酒和白羊毛与你交易。

¹⁹ 威但人和雅完人拿纺成的线、亮铁、桂皮、菖蒲兑换你的货物。

²⁰ 底但人用高贵的毯子、鞍、屉与你交易。

²¹ 亚拉伯人和基达的一切首领都作你的客商，用羊羔、公绵羊、公山羊与你交易。

²² 示巴和拉玛的商人与你交易，他们用各类上好的香料、各类的宝石，和黄金兑换你的货物。

²³ 哈兰人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人，和亚述人、基抹人与你交易。

²⁴ 这些商人以美好的货物包在绣花蓝色包袱内，又有华丽的衣服装在香柏木的箱子里，用绳捆着与你交易。

²⁵ 他施的船只接连成帮为你运货，你便在海中丰富极其荣华。

²⁶ 荡桨的已经把你荡到大水之处，东风在海中将你打破。

²⁷ 你的资财、物件、货物、水手、掌舵的、补缝的、经营交易的，并你中间的战士和人民，在你破坏的日子必都沉在海中。

²⁸ 你掌舵的呼号之声一发，郊野都必震动。

²⁹ 凡荡桨的和水手，并一切泛海掌舵的，都必下船登岸。

³⁰ 他们必为你放声痛哭，把尘土撒在头上，在灰中打滚；

³¹ 又为你使头上光秃，用麻布束腰，号啕痛哭，苦苦悲哀。

³² 他们哀号的时候，为你作起哀歌哀哭，说：有何城如推罗？有何城如他在海中成为寂寞的呢？

³³ 你由海上运出货物，就使许多国民充足；你以许多资财、货物使地上的君王丰富。

³⁴ 你在深水中被海浪打破的时候，你的货物和你中间的一切人民，就都沉下去了。

³⁵ 海岛的居民为你惊奇；他们的君王都甚恐慌，面带愁容。

³⁶ 各国民中的客商都向你发嘶声；你令人惊恐，不再存留於世，直到永远。

¹ It happened at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

² Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

³ She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.

⁴ She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.

⁵ She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.

⁶ Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

⁷ Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him.

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 seed to your brother."

⁹ Onan knew that the seed wouldn't be his; and it happened, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.

¹⁰ The thing which he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he killed him also.

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 After many days, Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite.

¹³ It was told Tamar, saying, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

¹⁴ She took off of her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn't given to him as a wife.

¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

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 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 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 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

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 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 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 Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven't found her."

²⁴ It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."

²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these--the signet, and the cords, and the staff."

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 It happened in the time of her travail, that behold, twins were in her womb.

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 It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said, "Why have you made a breach for yourself?" Therefore his name was called Perez.

³⁰ Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
